Buckle up. We are now entering the last totally chaotic weeks of 2020 as far as collective astrological aspects go... to which we all respond, some more fully than others. Many of the transits that follow have been noted in previous SkyScrapings. However, there’s nothing like a reminder as things move toward critical mass, right?
We’re coming off the hangover of Saturn square Mars at the end of September This aspect served as the reminder that nothing good will happen if you don’t get out there and give it your best. This has been a pull yourself up by the bootstraps time, and now it’s time to reset your thinking to the present, as your future depends upon how you make hay in the next weeks.
Presently, as in today, Mars retrograde backs through a conjunction with Eris. These two together lust to stir up mischief. There’s good mischief and there’s not so good mischief. What is the point of the plan you’re conjuring and does it have the scent of mischief? If it’s to be noticed in a good way and on its own merit, then, figure out where you want to fit in and do something to create your own inclusion.

However, for purposes of “when does the insanity all end?” the Jupiter square Eris as the defined demarcation of the conclusion of crazy manifestations works. The banquet of zaniness should then (17 November) sit at a fully dressed out table. After this, it should be more of digestion, then the clean up, mop up mode follows. The pesky Mars transits to gaseous giants in January seek to fix everything that needs fixing so that 2021 can be fully engaged.
