How to survive the lockdown period.

Hi friends,

We are experiencing the devastating power of the ongoing Saturn-Pluto conjunction. This planetary combination has the power to change the entire world. In the past it has done the same through wars & epidemics & this period is no better.  

In addition to the ongoing economic slowdown comes a new threat – a new coronavirus. The last Saturn-Pluto conjunction brought us AIDS.

Countries have implemented lockdowns across their cities and the world’s population is learning a new concept – quarantined in our own homes.

Different people react in different ways to the lockdown. Here’s a 12-sign guide how to deal with the quarantine period based on individual Sun/Moon/Ascendant signs. These are only indicative and the actual reaction will depend on your individual horoscopes.

Aries – Basic exercise & walking to be done in the house. Don’t get restless.  

Taurus – Join online cooking or teaching classes. Learn about financial terms & stock markets.  

Gemini – Start writing a blog on your favourite hobby. Attend online webinars. Don’t remain idle.

Cancer – Connect to your loved ones & friends through calls and video chats. Stay away from news.

Leo – They are inherently lazy people and would happily idle around in the house.  

Virgo – Arrange the entire papers, files & other documents in the house thoroughly one more time.  

Libra – Learn a new language, skill or craft through social media.

Scorpio – Learn music or painting. Write a book. Don’t watch too much TV.

Sagittarius – Learn a foreign language. Visit foreign places through online travel blogs.

Capricorn – Do office work from home. Learn organisation skills on internet.  

Aquarius – Join an online community related to your hobby. Talk to friends & families.

Pisces – Practice yoga or meditation. Learn painting or music. Stay away from news.

This is an indicative guide & people can relate to different signs at the same time. Key is to keep working your sign & seeing the quarantine period off. 

Remember - This too shall pass...
