January 2021 Age of Aquarius Catch Up

Hello friends,

We made it. 2020 is in the rearview mirror!

My brother-in-law says you should look in  the rearview mirror no more than 10% of the time. Stay behind the wheel of your life by being present. Keep your eyes on the road ahead. 

2021 brings deep changes through great resistance. It’s a year of hard work and recovery and a year of great hope. The focus is on the human condition and the structure of society. Jupiter and Saturn are in Aquarius through the year meaning that we are one big team. Pulling together makes a huge difference and leads us toward success. Think of a big beehive, alive with life, focused on making honey to feed the queen and in doing so the bees collect pollen and spread life between plants creating all manner of fruits and foods for us to eat. 

Your sensible actions indicate your awareness and compassion for others. Think about socially responsible investing, technology and clean energy as your contributions toward the good of the whole and as a way to make money. It’s all very Aquarian, and Taurus too. More on Taurus later.

Aquarius also governs vibration — just look at its symbol — two waves, one on top of the other. Hum a little something, notice the vibration? Keep your vibration up, friend!

The “astrological signature of our time” –- the Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto conjunction is behind us, although January has its fair share of issues. Please continue to wear your mask and stay safe.

If there’s anything we’ve learned it’s that we’re all in this together.  There’s a lot Aquarius energy this month and the Corona virus will continue to spread. Aquarius is an air sign and Covid 19 is an air borne virus. Jupiter and Saturn together equal big lessons for the collective.

So… keep your mask on and stay home until this passes, which could be as soon as the end of February 2021. 

Sparks fly this year, especially this month. Matters of the Earth via the sign of Taurus, demand to be considered. There are basic differences in our big beehive and not all the bees want the same thing.

January is quite the month. It’s full of stubborn Aquarian energy and challenged by the hotheads Mars and Uranus in Taurus. Taurus is equally as stubborn as Aquarius! The fixed energy points to the effort required to get your life in shape; and that means giving yourself permission to make the necessary improvements. Be bold, get grounded, and don’t give up. Mercury retrogrades at the end of this month so tend to your important stuff sooner rather than later.

Please mark the 20^th on your calendar as important. This is Inauguration Day in the USA and also a cosmically tricky one. Mars and Uranus in Taurus meet the Moon at the tail end of Aries and the three of them square Jupiter in Aquarius. That’s a cosmic recipe for civil unrest and unpredictable behavior. Impatient recklessness! The Earth speaks. 

Until the 19^th the Sun travels in pragmatic Capricorn. The sign of the water goat reminds us to enjoy the commitments we’ve made. Consider the structure of your life and do what you can to improve it.

1^st – 2^nd: Despite the problems and isolation try to enjoy the first few days of 2021. The year starts out on a playful Leo Moon. 

3^rd– 4^th By Sunday the Moon’s ingress to Virgo brings business and health to the forefront and you may start out the week with gusto.

4^th – 5^th Focus your dreams! Mercury and Pluto meet and the Moon opposes Neptune.

5^th – 8^th Two steps forward and a couple back as energy waxes and wanes this week. The Moon travels through Libra then Scorpio. You want to please someone and then you don’t.

6^th – Mars enters Taurus for the first time in two years giving Bulls a nice vitamin shot. Within a week, Mars meets up with Uranus and stirs up trouble. 

8^th – Mercury enters Aquarius and puts your mind to work. Gatherings begin to occur. Despite the waning Moon, energy is building. There are four celestial bodies now in Aquarius and over the next few weeks they will be activated by the rebels Mars and Uranus. Get grounded. Start now.

9^th – 12^th Mercury connects tightly with Jupiter and Saturn. Information is vital! Connection is vital! Mars squares it all. Are things on or are they off? It’s a lot of push, pull. Energy surges are unpredictable. Use your mind yet beware of rigid thinking. Rules are important if we’re all to get along.

12^th early morning New Capricorn Moon is serious in tone. Pluto is present. What seeds do you need to keep secret?  Pay attention to your financial matters as Venus trines Uranus. The market surges.

Also, on the 12^th Mercury squares its higher octave Uranus inviting you to up your game by thinking outside the box. Innovation is key now.

13^th Uranus begins to turn direct bringing change with it. 

13^th – 22^nd Dangerous days of possible chaos and anarchy. Rigid viewpoints clash.

14^th – 15^th ponder your options and consider the people you associate with. Is it working?

16^th – 17^th the gentle Pisces Moon is healing balm in the midst of loud unruliness.

17^th Jupiter squares Uranus – huge ideas, big changes. Technological advancements. It’s okay to get excited. 

18^th – 19^th the waxing Moon travels through Aries initiating change. It’s a fresh start!

19^th the Sun enters Aquarius, the sign of society. This is a fundamental, annual shift that unites us as the human family and also highlights our vast and numerous differences.

20^th – Inauguration Day in the USA and also a cosmically tricky one. Mars and Uranus in Taurus meet the Moon at the tail end of Aries and the three of them square Jupiter in Aquarius. It’s a cosmic recipe for civil unrest and unpredictable behavior but also for much needed change.

21^st voices continue to ring out. 

22^nd – 24^th A sobering time as leadership makes itself known. Enough already! Settle down people. The Sun connects with sobering Saturn, exact on the 23^rd. 

23^rd – 24^th the Moon in Gemini debates both sides. Integration can occur. Consider all your options.

25^th – 27^th the waxing Cancer Moon helps you process your decisions by feeling them through.

25^th the Sun and Uranus square off. A challenge is made. Originality is valued.

27^th – the Cancer Moon highlights the Venus/Pluto conjunction.  Follow the money. What’s happening in your financial world?

28^th Leo Full Moon highlights the human drama and the ridiculous quibbling of this age. Finances are important – Venus and Pluto are conjunct. Be sensible!

27^th – 30^th big news associated with leadership and the law. Humanitarian efforts are needed. The Sun conjuncts Jupiter and both are activated by Mars. Jupiter conjunct the Sun makes for favorable outcomes so perhaps there’s something in this that offers the most benefit to the most people despite, or maybe because, of the challenge from Mars. This is an exciting and possibly hopeful time.

31^st the month ends as Mercury retrogrades giving us the next three weeks to reflect and regroup. The Virgo Moon helps to put things back in order.

February has its own share of excitement. Celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year with twelve months of the Metal Ox. The metal element is associated with the lungs (does Covid linger?) while the Ox promises work, work and more work to get us back on our feet; our society rebuilt with our newly discovered values in mind. If there’s anything we learned from 2020 is what happens to one, happens to all. We also discovered how much we need each other. You can’t drink money and you can’t breathe brutality. After the tense change of January 2021,  February gives us the lunar New Year and the pervading energy of primordial Pisces which births us into new possibilities. 

Meanwhile, let’s you and I continue to scamper along the fields of conversation. Goddess willing I’ll meet you back here in a month.

Remember, you matter, we’re all connected; Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Your astrologer,
