A breakthrough is coming this week as the cosmos is emanating the energy it needs to move and navigate the challenging areas of your life. During the week, the planets are lining up in what is called a stellium (three or more planets within a sign) in the Saturnian signs of Aquarius and Capricorn. Since Saturn represents structure, discipline, lessons and reality, the energy of these signs works to challenge the structures you have overcome and asks you to surrender, release and break with them.
On Sunday, January 17, the planet of luck and expansion, Jupiter, is in Aquarius, forming a square with the progressive Uranus in Taurus, which just moved straight last week. You may feel an impulse from the cosmos to suddenly make a move to move forward in your life in a positive way. Although squaring is a challenging aspect, since Jupiter is in the mix, this change will eventually work in your favor. Listen to your intuition and emotions as your inner compass moves you forward.
Following this significant aspect, the communication planet, Mercury, in Aquarius forms a positive connection with the north and south karmic node in the signs of Gemini and Aquarius on January 19th. The north and south nodes in transit are sensitive points in astrology that can dictate the direction and focus of the collective. This specific alignment provides the motivation to release limiting beliefs that have prevented you from speaking and honoring your truth, as it can free and free you. Although uncomfortable, you can use this time to mentally identify what is healthy for your future and what is not.
The action you take this week is to better align with what you value and what you are really worth.
The Aquarius 2021 season begins on January 19, when the sun moves towards the sign that represents the collective, humanitarianism, the future and innovation. This initiates the transformational energy of Jupiter and Saturn that resonates beneath the surface since the great conjunction on December 21 last year. The Aquarius energy is the side of Saturn (Capricorn ruling the old structure) that does not follow the status quo, and that can pressure you to make new decisions that you have not considered before.
The next day, on January 20, Mars forms an activation connection that shakes Uranus in the sign of Taurus. Mars rules your drive, ambition and action; and Taurus represents self-esteem, values and material possessions, as all three facets of life are deeply intertwined. If we feel that we are worthy, the capacity to manifest this in the material world increases. Mars is in what is called detriment in the sign of Taurus, which means that there may be instinctive discomfort that, in the final analysis, can lead you to sudden action through the shocking power of Uranus. The action you take this week is to better align with what you value and what you are really worth.
