    “1. Introduction

    In 2020, astrology predicts the particular influence of stationary planets on world events. Planetary stationarity is one of the important phases of a planet’s motion, heralding significant change on both a personal and global level. In this article we will look at which planets will be stationary, on what dates it will occur, and how it can affect various countries and areas of life.

    2. The stationarity of the planets

    А. Definition
    The stationarity of a planet is its position before turning retrograde or returning to direct orbital motion. This phenomenon occurs because of differences in the motion of the Earth and other planets around the Sun, creating the optical illusion that the planet has stopped.

    Б. Influence on the Earth
    The stationarity of a planet represents a key moment of transition from one motion to another and can therefore signify significant changes and climaxes in various areas of life. Understanding these periods helps to predict possible events and changes, both on a personal and global level.

    3. Saturn

    А. Dates of stationarity in 2020
    Saturn will be stationary on May 11 at 7 degrees 50 minutes Capricorn, then on September 29 at 1 degree 11 minutes, and on May 23, 2021 at 19 degrees 21 minutes of the sign Capricorn.

    Б. Influence on post-Soviet countries
    Saturn will show significant influence on the countries formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union. For example, Russia was formed with Saturn at 0 degrees 29 minutes Capricorn, Belarus at 7 degrees 43 minutes, and Ukraine at 7 degrees 47 minutes Capricorn. Saturn in the first degrees of Capricorn makes 2020 a pivotal year for these countries.

    В. Predictions and Significance
    Saturn will be in the first degrees of Capricorn for over a year and a half, which can bring about significant changes and events, both positive and negative. In post-Soviet countries, this stationarity may indicate important transformations and turning points, depending on their historical and astrological assumptions.

    4. Jupiter

    А. Dates of stationarity in 2020
    Jupiter will be stationary on May 14 at 3 degrees 6 minutes Capricorn, September 13 at 23 degrees 15 minutes Sagittarius, and November 24 at zero degrees 44 minutes Capricorn.

    Б. Influence on the financial crisis
    Traditionally, Jupiter’s entrance into the sign of Capricorn heralds a financial crisis. In 2020, two dates (June 29 and November 20) could be key moments when to expect downturns in the economy and turbulence in the financial markets.

    В. Country Predictions
    – Russia: Jupiter does not affect natal Saturn, but it does affect some personal planets, which can affect the economy and social changes.
    – Belarus: Jupiter will move through the twelfth house, portending secrets and problems related to epidemics and foreign influence.
    – USA: Jupiter will be stationary twice in the sixth house, which may increase the impact on the coronavirus epidemic and health issues.

    5. Mars

    А. Dates of stationarity in 2020
    Mars will become stationary twice in 2020: on September 10 and November 14.

    Б. Influence on zodiac signs (Pisces and Aries)
    Mars will be in the signs of Pisces and Aries several times during the year. This can significantly affect those with these signs ascendant, causing changes in well-being and vitality.

    В. Predictions and Significance
    The stationarity of Mars is often associated with recent bursts of energy and actions that can lay important groundwork for future events. Its influence will be felt in various areas of life, depending on which house of the horoscope it falls in at the time of its stationarity.”

    “6. Regional analyses

    A. Ukraine

    Ukraine is significantly influenced by stationary Saturn. On May 11, Saturn was only three minutes away from its natal position in Ukraine’s horoscope. Saturn is conjunct the Moon, indicating challenging times for the nation, as the Moon symbolizes the people. Throughout 2020, Saturn will be at this critical point, indicating a difficult year for Ukraine, especially after September, when Ketu begins its period in the sixth house of the country’s horoscope. This stationarity of Saturn is closely associated with the Chernobyl disaster and the fires in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, which have already occurred twice this spring. These events emphasize the difficult situation in the country regarding the nation’s health and general well-being.

    B. U.S.

    There are no direct hits of stationary planets at important points in the U.S. horoscope, but there are certain aspects. Saturn will be in the sixth house, the house of epidemics, so May 11 and September 29 will be significant dates for health issues. Jupiter will be stationary on May 14 and November 24 also in the sixth house, indicating important events related to the coronavirus. Mars will be stationary in the ninth and eighth houses of the US horoscope. However, it will periodically aspect the second house, money, indicating likely financial instability. Predictions indicate that the economy will gradually recover after the period of Mars retrograde.

    V. Russia

    Russia has natal Saturn at 0 degrees 29 minutes Capricorn, and the stationarity of this planet near this point indicates important changes in the country, especially on September 29 and beyond. Saturn is in the fifth house in Russia’s horoscope, affecting entertainment and cultural life, which means Russians will not be able to enjoy a free life for a long time due to the coronavirus epidemic. Jupiter will also become stationary on November 24, aspecting the major planets, indicating possible financial crises. It is important to note that these changes will especially affect the non-privileged class of the population.

    G. Belarus

    In Belarus, natal Saturn is at 7 degrees 43 minutes Capricorn, and its stationarity will be in the 12th house, the house of epidemics and foreign influence. This speaks of hidden problems and secrets that will surface this year. The people of Belarus, who are usually calm and docile, will begin to be active in politics and elections this year. Mars, becoming stationary in the third house on September 10, indicates possible changes in boundaries and freedom of movement. Financial instability is also possible on November 14, when Mars enters the second house.

    D. India

    In India, Jupiter stationary in the eighth house on September 13 indicates problematic periods in terms of finances and social stability. Mars moving from the 12th to the 11th house has no significant influences, but there is a possibility of unforeseen events. These events may include financial instability and changes in the political climate.

    Е. Great Britain

    Saturn will be transiting the fifth house of the UK horoscope, suggesting the possibility of change in the political sphere. Jupiter in the fifth and fourth houses indicates possible political reforms, particularly on May 14, September 13, and November 24. Mars becoming stationary on November 14 in proximity to Rahu in the seventh house may cause tension in international relations. This could lead to the breakup of some foreign relations and complicate the political environment.

    7. Conclusion

    The stationarity of the planets in 2020 indicates a significant influence on events in various countries. The influence of Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars will be seen in the economy, public health, and political systems. These planetary events will bring about changes that in some cases may be quite critical and significant. Each country will react differently to the influence of these planets, and it is important to be prepared for possible changes and adapt to new circumstances.”
