Aries January 2021

Happy New Year! Hooray – 2020 is over and we’re moving into a brand new year.

It feels like a completely fresh start for you as your ruling planet Mars finally leaves your star sign Aries where it’s been for the last six months. Now is the ideal time to put 2020 to bed and start over.

Endings & Beginnings

Yet, new beginnings can only unfold from something coming to an end. This is the theme of the New Moon in Capricorn on the 13th. Capricorn is your career and vocation sector and the two leaders of the zodiac, Jupiter & Saturn, have now left behind this area of your horoscope.

Plus, the New Moon falls next to Pluto, the planet of loss, power & transformation, the only slower-moving planet left at the peak of your horoscope. You may step into a position of power on this New Moon. Alternatively, a job, role or position may come to an end.

Whatever happens under Pluto’s gaze tends to be final. Yet, it still remains a significant New Moon to set your intentions and focus on your future path. Where are you heading and why? Keep hold of a sense of purpose or find one if it’s lacking.

Money Matters

On the 6th, Mars moves into Taurus and your personal money sector where it remains for the next couple of months. Things are lively in this sector of your horoscope as the planet of change, Uranus, is also here. In fact, on the 20th, Mars and Uranus unite in Taurus and your money sector.

Taurus not only rules money, also what you value and your sense of self-worth. Here, there’s a sense of the new, whether this means updating your financial situation, learning about new money methods or adopting a new attitude to money & earnings.

The Mars-Uranus combination can be explosive and it’s not the best time to be overly impulsive. Yet, freedom beckons in some shape or form. This is also the theme of the Jupiter-Uranus square aspect on the 17th and Uranus turning direct in Taurus on the 14th.

This whole period of the month brings fizz and excitement to your money sector. It’s not a time for holding on tight, instead reinvent your finances and take your next steps.

Aquarius Themes

Aquarius is the star sign of the year and talk planet Mercury enters Aquarius on the 8th. Mercury will be followed by the Sun’s move into Aquarius on the 19th. Very quickly in 2021, you’re going to know what this new trend means for you.

Aquarius rules your friends and group sector, your place within society, your role within politics or social responsibilities. Plus, lucky Jupiter is in action on the 11th and 29th. These are dates to act fast, take a risk, be a visionary. Jupiter’s aim is to restore hope and faith to life, to help you seek the light after the darkness.

You may be celebrating with friends, especially during the Full Moon on the 28th. Or, perhaps you decide to set up an online group and reach out and make new connections.

Aquarius is the star sign linked to technology and all things modern. Embrace the future and be around other people who inspire you and help you moving forward. It’s wise to get things moving quickly in 2021 as Mercury will turn retrograde in Aquarius on the 30th, the last day of the month.

There will be times this month when you may stand up to others or take on an activist or rebel role. The period from the 13th to the 23rd is most relevant in this respect.

Your star sign is renowned for being direct, honest and forthright, for taking action and making things happen. Consider where and why you want to focus and channel your time and energy as 2021 begins.
