Inspired by the recent event at the Tucson February, 2019, SAMS is excited to hold annual Gatherings on the Land. In 2013 and 2014, SAMS held conferences in Tubac, Arizona with many guest speakers from from various healing modalities and other astrology perspectives. The 2020 incarnation is about exploring new frontiers of Shamanic Astrology and beyond, especially enhancements to this evolving paradigm.
One of the powerful Sky features is Mars catching up to Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn in the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. Mars is within 5 degrees of the planets between March 10th and April 8th, making for a highly rare 4-planet alignment in the early morning sky (only Pluto will not be visible). This alignment of visible planets combined with Pluto (not visible to the naked eye) is of exceptional rarity and certainly will not occur in our lifetimes again.
Mars is exactly conjunct Jupiter on March 20th at 23 degrees Capricorn, Pluto on March 22nd at 25 degrees Capricorn and Saturn on March 31st at 0 degrees Aquarius.
Venus in Taurus is a nightly jewel on the western horizon after sunset with the Moon joining Venus March 27 and 28.
Mercury in Pisces is at “maximum elongation” (meaning its maximum observed separation from the Sun) on the morning of March 24th. In fact, it is about as far as Mercury can be from the Sun at 27.8 degrees. Synchronistically, Venus is also at maximum elongation on the same day, but in the evening sky at 46.1 degrees from the Sun.
This event will take place in an area with dark skies making for great night sky teaching and viewing during times when Venus is visible in the evening and Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury in the early morning.
