Happy New Year! May this year bring you renewed hope, joy, magic, love, abundance and health! 2021 is a 5 year in Numerology which indicates change, freedom, new endeavors and travel. We have just come out of a 4 year which is about structures, foundations and security. We had an opportunity to assess our lives during the pandemic to see what we have outgrown, which path feeds our soul and who we want in our lives. We can review how our own lives were touched by the Jupiter/Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn. 2020 was the year of the pandemic, reassessment, introspection, isolation, unemployment and simplicity. When everything shuts down, you are forced to look inward, and evaluate what has meaning for you. The goal of all the Capricorn planets was to declutter your life of outdated beliefs, habits, relationships and possessions. It was the year for organizing and home repair. But life is about to take an uplifting turn. On December 16th, Saturn entered Aquarius. On December 19th, Jupiter entered Aquarius. On December 21st(Winter Solstice), Jupiter was conjunct Saturn in Aquarius at 0 degrees at 10:21 am pst. How will the energies shift in 2021? Well, things will become a little brighter and new solutions will appear. The sign Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and represents the collective of humanity. This is about global community, new technology, new inventions, progressive approaches, awakening of consciousness and the spark of magic. Aquarius is about our friendships, our connection to community and how can we help on a global level. Jupiter expands all that it touches and wants us to open our hearts in new innovative ways. We will see communities coming together, activism increasing, new political strategies with a refreshing twist and new dreams emerging. The question to ask with Jupiter (expansion) conjunct Saturn (realism) in Aquarius is: What are you willing to do to create a better world? What groups are you aligned with to create a better future? Saturn in Aquarius is about taking practical steps for implementing progressive solutions. Breaking out of limitation and looking at what is possible. Aquarius is the symbol of a lightning strike- a bolt out of the blue. During the first month of the year, we get to slowly embrace these lighter expansive energies that are bringing new approaches, new ideas, new insights and breakthroughs in technology to the forefront. These energies will open up new directions in your work, new relationships manifesting and renewed optimism. The house that has Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius moving through in your chart, will be the area where you will see big changes. Good time to set up a 2021 reading!
