In light of what is destined in 2021, the events of 2020 will pale by comparison.
2021 begins in the context of the Total Solar Eclipse that occurred on December 14. It reveals a profoundly spiritual impulse, yet also law yielding to authority. This will not prove easy for anyone, governments as well. The same basic theme is true of the June 10th Solar Eclipse
Winter Solstice also provides contextual themes for the year. It features the historic conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn launching not just a 20-year cycle, but an era of 220 years!
January 1st, 2021 is the other key event and symbolizes a mass awakening stemming from alternative media.
A ‘Square Aspect’ implies themes at cross purposes and ‘hard turns’ and there are some major Squares in 2021 between Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus which is the real shaker theme for 2021 that encompasses the entire year. The key dates are February 17, June 14, and December 24,
Mars ever plays a significant role in astrology regarding major events especially when in hard aspect to the far planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here is the list:
2021 begins with Mars a Conjunction with Uranus, a bullish and revolutionary influence, on January 20th, the day of the U.S. Presidential Inauguration!
Mars Square to Jupiter on January 22nd will inflate the expression revolutionary, rights and freedoms-oriented Aquarius.
Mars opposing Pluto on June 5th will prove reactive and explosive.
Mars in Leo opposing Saturn in Aquarius on July 1st and forming an exact Square to Uranus on July 4th will produce patriotic sentiments colored by high emotions linked to religious/spiritual convictions.
On October 22 Mars forms its final’ Upper Square’ to Pluto suggestive of unexpected events leading to transformational change.
On November 11th, Mars will form a Square to Saturn and then follow-up with an Opposition to Uranus by November 18th. This will activate even more revolutionary attitudes and the resolve of rebels.
The year ends with the final Square between Saturn and Uranus on December 24, and carries through within 1-degree of orb until January 1st, 2022.
Destiny is ever at play and we are designed to co-create cooperatively. Stock up, prepare emotionally, try to keep an open mind respecting interpretations and choices that differ from yours, be willing to help your neighbors, adapt without compromising your truth and integrity, pray, laugh, and love 2021, is destined to be the most powerful year we have experienced collectively, perhaps ever.
Aries (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19)
In 2020, the focus was centered on career and power. The emphasis did begin to shift to the rest of your life, your social life specifically, and this will continue. Now, returns for past efforts have already begun to come in, hopefully, your efforts were aligned and integral. Your sights are set on a new future in a whole new way. Making efforts to increase your income or R.O.I. is featured. You will begin to push harder in this regard early in the year. While dreams do play a role, your focus will be much more fully on the here and now. New friendships play a key role.
Taurus (Apr. 20 – May 20)
You will charge out of the gates early in 2021. Your pace will be determined yet possibly staggered to outmaneuver any opposition. This will lead you to aspire to power. If you gain authority, you will demand unwavering allegiance from those who follow your lead. In many respects, this will feel like your time and you fully intend to claim what you deem yours. Your energy levels will remain high. Your energy levels will not only be running high, they will be fueled with emotional resolve. Recovering any lost ground will be your first objective and then you will build.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Somehow, you have emerged from 2020, transformed. Positively, you have become more assertive and determined; a momentum that is likely to continue. Now, you see a higher truth and vision. While committed, something else is also dissolving and this may amount to certain dreams and ideals. Yet, you will not yield without a fight. This is especially true if you feel you have something to fight for. Otherwise, you may choose to slip away somehow to meditate upon higher truths. Either way, you will direct your energies to activities behind the scenes.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Big changes are in store in 2021 and the year begins with this underway. These changes could manifest as both your personal values and your creative resolve. A revolutionary impulse is strong as 2020 begins leading you to assert yourself to lay claim to earned rights and rewards. You may feel pushed by circumstances to yield, accept, and adapt. Positively, this will lead you even further into a creative focus. You will feel guided and inspired to dig deep to access new levels of originality. Genuine expressions of integrity and power will be the main challenge.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
A whole new level of commitment to building for your future and improving upon existing projects, skills, and talents is featured. This refinement process will likely also be directed to your own personal growth in support of this resolve. You will continue to reach out to meet new friends and perhaps business partners and to expand your overall scope of connection and influence in the world. This process will come with changes in your career and public life. Whatever happens, trust they will be for the better and focus to break through prior limitations.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22)
A complex year is in store for us all and for you it will center on preparing to increase your outreach to the world. You will actually get a sneak preview of this in late spring into July. Yet, the preparation process is meant to occur all year. Creativity is a keyword and part of the challenge includes taking authority over unclaimed creative prowess. This will require clarity of focus and inner and outer work. Be ready to face your fears to expand and become more fully you. Technical knowledge will likely be required. Get clear early to dig deep to access your power.
Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22)
Establishing a more solid based on your creative power and abilities are highlighted in 2021. The going may not be fast, but it will be sure. You may, however, have to contend with a healing process and you are probably wise to take this quite seriously. This process includes learning as well and not just being told what you need and what to do. Be open to understanding yourself and your needs better and aim for self-honesty to see blind spots and negative attitudes and behavior patterns. Focus on a patient and realistic vision for the longer-term.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Some years push us to dig deeper than others and this will be one of them for you. The biggest challenge may be deciphering which skills and talents to focus on first. Yet, there is also the possibility that given the choice, you will take the lower, easy road, to passively settle for less. Make efforts to avoid this as the higher, if harder road, will bring greater rewards all around. The overall process will bring about changes on relationship fronts. This could also apply to your career. Face your fears and take risks to lay claim to what you truly want.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Themes of freedom, truth, and justice will become much more pronounced in 2021. The biggest challenge will be connecting the dots accurately of the multifarious knowledge you will feel excited and determined to learn. This learning curve will extend into 2023 so, you have time. In the short term, it may feel like you were in a dark room and now suddenly all the lights are on. You will likely get to work early in the year, and the learning curve could prove steep at times, which may include unlearning what you previously understood or believed.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
2021 will be a year of both consolidation and expansion for you. The emphasis will be upon making every effort count. Investment is a keyword and applies to both energy output and finances. You will push to break through any existing barriers. Your pace will prove revolutionary guided by a determined resolve. Supported by a vision of service, your goal is to bring your dreams into reality. The challenge will be confronting whether your interpretation of reality is realistic or idealistic. Be open to discussion and make efforts to adjust to being more realistic.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
2021 will prove to be an expansive year for you. Yet, it will also be a busy one that will require patience, discipline, and diligence. Some of the focus will be directed to your home and family as changes roll-in that require your direct attention. Translating challenges into goals and the prospect of realizing dreams will spur you on and sharpen your focus. The only concern is that you could be charging ahead without a clear direction. The time is right to get clear on your dreams and goals and to make extra efforts to outline a realistic plan.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20)
You have entered a cycle in your life when it is time to bring many things to completion. Finishing projects, clearing debt following through with any and all initiatives not yet accomplished, will prove empowering. You will venture out and enter uncharted territory. This is probably not the best year to start projects. Make a big list of all the things that you have yet to complete. If you do not have items on such a list, it might prove more worthwhile to direct your energies and focus to work with or help others with their projects, problems, dreams, and goals.
