  • Astrological Forecast for the First Week of February 2021

    And so a new month begins…

    In many ways, February will continue what January introduced, although the month is slightly less intense (thank god!)

    Here are the aspects I mentioned in this episode:

    * Venus joins the Aquarian committee when she enters the sign of Aquarius on February 1

    * Venus conjunct Saturn on February 6

    * Venus square Uranus on February 7

    * The Sun square Mars on February 1

    When I babbled on about my revelation about the direction I want to take my life in the beginning of the the podcast, I forgot to mention that this very much had to do with the Sun conjunct Jupiter aspect which perfected on January 29, but was definitely close enough that it could be felt during the full moon.

    Editing podcasts is a big pain, especially since I still talk too fast, so I thought I’d just mention this here rather than redo that part of the recording.

    Hope you also got the chance to do some positive-yet-intense soul searching under these aspects around the full moon as well!

    p.s. If you’d like to watch a video where an astrologer breaks down these transits in a clearer, more down-to-Earth way than I’m yet able to do, check out this video by Acyuta-bhava.

    Tarot Reading for the First Week of February

    For this reading, I decided to ask the cards to tell me what each of the aspects I mention in the podcast are trying to teach us this week.

    For the Sun square Mars, I pulled the seven of cups, for Venus in Aquarius I pulled the Temperance card, for Venus conjunct Saturn I pulled the Ace of Pentacles and for Venus square Uranus I pulled the Moon card.

    What I find interesting about this spread is the sandwich effect it has between thinking colored too much by desire and fear as opposed to rational, balanced thinking which approaches what is whether than how we wish things were.

    The first card, the seven of cups, speaks to our desire to see “reality” from our own individual perspective and name this “the truth” when in fact it has much more to do with our own subjective opinions and cultural conditioning.

    Who’s right about reality, the Sun in Aquarius or Mars in Taurus? How you feel (feel because this is the suit of cups) about this likely has more to do with social media algorithms and media source echo chambers rather than the actual state of affairs.

    So how can we move out of this and gain a better sense of clarity?

    The card I pulled for Venus in Aquarius seems to be offering a solution: temperance, or contemplative moderation.

    Take a good look at this card. The angel pictured is not flying to the heavens; their wings may be spread, but their feet are still very much on the ground. One foot is dipped into the pond and the figure is calmly pouring water from one cup to another. This means they are not entirely detached from the emotional nature of the situation at hand (signified by water) but are still able to remain rational and observant rather than become overwhelmed by the fears surrounding these emotions (moon) or lose their clarity of thought (seven of cups).

    Remember that Venus is the fifth visible planet to join the Aquarius committee. She was preceded first by Saturn, who entered Aquarius for good on December 17, then Jupiter on December 19, Mercury on January 8 and the Sun on January 19. At this point, we should have a good feel for the inspiration (the Star card, which traditionally is assigned to Aquarius) and call for change of this Aquarian energy that ushered into the new elemental age of air.

    In this card, Venus entering Aquarius seems to be calling for pause and harmonize the needs and (perhaps unconscious) emotions of both sides of the equation.

    Notice there are two cups here, not just one. However, the cup in the angel’s left hand does not appear to be emptying and the one in its right hand is not overflowing. Instead, the card calls for the quiet beauty of a controlled and contemplative sense of unity.

    But where will this lead us?

    If you look closely at the the Temperance card, you will see a path leading from the mountains in the distance. Although perhaps picturesque, this could also represent an arduous journey we had to embark upon to reach this pond (or one that still have ahead of us should we choose to turn around). Will we turn around and head to the mountains, or will we cross over the pond into a new, still unseen world?

    Since this figure is an angel, why not simply fly?

    If you look at the next card, the one I pulled for Venus conjunct Saturn, this seems to be the case.

    Notice the mountains through the gate of this lovely garden, which appear further away and less treacherous than in the Temperance card, although it’s still not entirely clear if we’ve crossed them or simply flew further away.

    Yes, this garden is walled off and has a clear gate and boundary (Saturn) but it is also beautiful (Venus), with blooming flowers: two different kinds, both flourishing, perhaps watered individually with each of the cups of the preceding card.

    I take this card to represent a celebration of the beauty of Saturn in Aquarius’s plans for rebuilding and restructuring the world in a way that bring a new sense of wealth and security (Ace of Pentacles) that still remains “up in the clouds”, casting its radiance onto this lovely garden from above, as is fitting for material values (Pentacles) as they will increasingly be defined in the new age of air.

    However, as much as Venus may like it to be the case, we are definitely not yet in this garden.

    Saturn is slow, and many of these plans to rebuild will gradually roll out and may not bear much fruit until he moves from Aquarius to Pisces in March of 2023 or, in a deeper sense, until Jupiter and Saturn complete their 20-year cycle and meet up again in the sign of Libra in September, 2040.

    Saturn may be many things, but speedy he is not.

    As for Venus, despite her striving for unity, balance and togetherness with a somewhat somber tone when she enters Aquarius at the beginning of the month, she will still have to deal with a square from the rebellious Uranus.

    For this aspect, I pulled the Moon card.

    This card echoes the Temperance card in many ways. Again, we have a path and on each side of the path a different dog is howling their own howl at the moon, each hound dwelling in its own castle.

    A crayfish is emerging from the pond to do what? Pinch each of these noisy dogs? Or will this shy creature return to the depths, too afraid to venture onto dry land?

    The Temperance card (Venus in Aquarius) is calm; the angel is performing its balancing act under the warm rays of the sun.

    But the scene here (one perhaps taking place at the other side of the pond?) is at night under the full moon. Do the animals here represent our animal natures, not willing to cross the path, insisting my castle is the best castle, with a potentially aggressive version of this nature lurking in the waters? If so, are they wild because they don’t know any better or because this is what they want?

    If this card represents the unconscious and irrational, anxiety and fear, as the Moon card does traditionally, then what are these dogs howling at and what is drawing the crayfish out of the water?

    The moon.

    And what does the moon represent if not change itself, that which Uranus brings into our lives whether we like it or not?

    Whew.

    Quite a ride. Hope you could take away something from that.

    Until next week,

    XOXO

  • Astrological Forecast for February 2021: Moon Cycle and Saturn Square Uranus

    Welcome to February 2021!

    Although this month is a very significant month for the year, it is not (necessarily) as stressful and loaded as January, which is good news. I for one found January really tough. Hope it was easier on you!

    In this overview, I only focused on two of the most important astrological events in February 2021, the new moon and Saturn square Uranus, which I analyze from both a collective and personal perspective. Here are the dates to keep in mind:

    * February 11, New Moon in Aquarius. On this day, there will be a very rare pile up of nearly all the visible planets in one sign, in this case Aquarius. Only Mars will in another sign (Taurus). Taurus makes a sign based square to Aquarius, so Mars might be complaining and doing his best to cause trouble, but he doesn’t have much power here, so in the end all his likely achieve is just making some annoying noise (more on this in the podcast).

    * February 17, Saturn square Uranus aspect perfects. Although we definitely already felt this energy in January, the square between Saturn and Uranus will be perfecting (i.e. becoming exact) on this day. This aspect between these planets will happen three times this year, so pay attention to what happens on this day to get a preview of what might come up the next two times around.

    (For any astro nerds out there, I made a mistake when I mentioned that Mars is squaring Venus on February 11. This aspect will be applying, which means we will already be able to feel it and it will be gaining strength, but it actually won’t be exact until February 20. I noticed the mistake when I listened to the replay, but I was too lazy to take it out as it doesn’t make a huge difference in what I had to say).

    I’ll be back in a couple of days with the astrological forecast for the first week of February as well as a tarot reading. In the meantime, enjoy this picture of snow in the Alps which I took last year in Bavaria. We always go skiing there for a week during the winter school holidays (or rather my husband and daughters go skiing and I go for walks and read and write) but it got cancelled this year thanks to Covid.

    Sigh.

    This too will someday pass…

  • Astrological Forecast for the Final Week of January 2021

    So we’ve come at last to the end of what has been not the easiest month.

    Lots of intense energy in January, and I definitely felt some of it personally, but luckily it is also one of the hardest months of the year astrologically-speaking. Here’s hoping that February let’s up a little!

    In the podcast, the astrological aspects I mentioned for the final week of January 2021 are:

    * Sun square Uranus on January 26

    * Full Moon in Leo in opposition to Saturn and Jupiter and square Mars and Uranus on January 28 (this will likely not be the most easy going day to say the least…)

    * Venus conjunct Pluto on January 28

    * Sun conjunct Jupiter of January 29

    * Mercury goes retrograde in Aquarius on January 30 (for any astro nerds out there, I said this will happen at 28 degrees, but it’s actually at 26 degrees 29 to be exact.)

    If you have any thoughts or questions, do feel free to share in the comment below.

    Tarot reading for the final week of January

    For this last week of January 2021 (a month which certainly did feel like 2020 2.0!), I asked two questions.

    The first question was for a general three card spread about what the week ahead holds. The second was what we can expect and/or take away from the intense full moon on January 28.

    The general cards I pulled for the week were the eight of rods, the ten of swords and the six of pentacles.

    The first thing I noticed here were the sequence of numbers: three even numbers, although not pulled in sequence. A

    lthough the numbers of the minor arcana are interpreted in different ways depending on the element of the suit (wands are fire, swords are air, cups are water and pentacles are Earth), they still generally symbolize a particular principle. Six stands for communication, eight means movement, ten means completion or the need to move beyond.

    Since they represent fire, wands imply both swiftness and movement. Like fire itself, this energy is energetic and forward-moving, but also sometimes rash and difficult to contain.

    However, the eight of wands has found its goal, and is propelling towards it with new found speed. Overall a nice energy to have next week as it will help inspire us move forward both in our personal lives and in the collective.

    As I mentioned above, swords stand for air, and air is mental in nature. I interpret the ten of swords her as a tendency towards despair and overly negative thinking. This card can also signify painful and abrupt endings that can send you reeling. Not a great energy to be sure, but it’s important to keep in mind that when the ten of swords comes into play, whatever this painful situation is, it will seem worse than it will likely turn out to be in the end.

    I think this is especially the case considering that the next card in the six of pentacles. The six of pentacles stand for generosity, charity and giving, in a material or value sense since this is an Earth-ruled suit. But a hierarchy exists within this card. It’s about the rich giving to the poor, the king bestowing gift onto his subjects, the haves distributing to the have-nots.

    Although this could be interpreted literally (e.g. a billionaire making a generous donation to a charity), it could also represent something like a person sharing their knowledge and skills with others or an act emotional generosity a parent shows their child.

    Will these be three distinct groups, will they be interconnected or will they be emotional and material states that proceed one after another? We shall see.

    I do find it interesting that three things are missing here: the suit of cups and the even numbered cards 2 and 4.

    Two and four stand in general for union and structure and cups, which are ruled by the element of water, stand for formlessness and passivity that can lead us towards inner joy. Although that’s not in the cards for next week, let’s hope that’s what lies in store for us, but still needs time to germinate and manifest.

    Reading for the full moon on January 28

    For the intense full moon on January 28, I aptly pulled the moon, the two of swords and the Hierophant.

    The two of swords shows a blindfolded figure holding two swords crossed at their chest. But it’s important to point out that this figure is not being held prisoner; in fact, they tied the blindfold across their eyes themselves. The two of swords stands for indecision as well as the impulse to “turn a blind eye” to that which is at hand and, eventually, must be faced.

    To the right, in the moon and to the left, the Hierophant.

    The decision here?

    Considering the astrology baked into this full moon, I would interpret this as the urge to break free from established groups and institutions, especially those of a religious of spiritual nature (Hierophant) and follow your own intuition. This is a positive interpretation of the moon card energy, which also can stand for times of (emotional and inner) uncertainty, anxiety and illusion.

    I would suggest exploring these topics on this day, but try not to take things too seriously if you still feel to confused and vulnerable to act (this is also most definitely the two of swords).

    As challenging as this full moon is, as is always the case, this will be a good time to exam what you have achieved and/or what has come to fruition since this moon cycle began on January 13 and what you should now release or cast off because it has outlived its purpose.

    See you again in February.

    XOXO

  • Astrological Forecast for the 3rd week of January 2021

    The third week of January only has two major aspects to mention, but boy are they big ones. They are:

    * Jupiter square Uranus on January 17

    * Mars conjunct Uranus on January 20

    In the podcast I go over last week’s aspects a bit and then move on to these two might bring.

    My father was a chemical engineer and, when I was a teenager, I used to sometimes ask him what he was up to at work. Whenever I did, he would inevitably say something like, “Well, we’re working hard and getting the catalyst collators to transcript with the jewel calibration on our electron microscope interfaces.”

    Ok, so I totally made those words up, but that’s what it always sounded like to me, i.e. super technical and completely incomprehensible to the average Joe/Jill who knew nothing about chemical engineering whatsoever, which was me both then and now.

    If you feel like this after listening to my podcast (e.g. What the heck is an aspect,? What do you mean by the houses? etc.) please do let me know. I plan to write some “astro basics” texts at some point, and it would be helpful to get feedback to help me gauge what it is people would like to know.

    Until then, stay safe and see you next week.

    The tarot reading for January 16 to January 23

    For this week, I decided to ask the cards what the week ahead will bring. I drew three cards initially and then a fourth.

    The first three cards I pulled were the 9 of Swords, the Tower and the King of Swords.

    Swords are the mental cards of the tarot, and I think it’s significant that I pulled three of them. Whatever ends up happening next week, it’s going to get us thinking and into our heads.

    The nine of swords speaks to anxiety, worry, negative thinking, even nightmares, the tower upheaval, chaos, the sudden destruction of something that was not built on solid ground. The King of Swords stands for mental clarity in action, a person of authority and respect with a keen awareness of the rules and structures who is willing to fight for the truth.

    In many ways, I think this card perfectly represents the blend of Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury in Aquarius: authority, structures, rules, respect combined with a sense of Justice (Jupiter) and a keen intellect (Mercury). I’m happy to see this card here, because it has the strength to stand up to whatever upheaval the Tower (Uranus?) brings. This is a card of action that will help ensure we do no only get locked into the mental anguish signified by the nine of swords.

    This combination could manifest either in the outward world (next week will be inauguration week in the US, after all…) or in your inner world as a reaction to negative sudden events or chaotic situations.

    The final card I pulled was the four of swords. I would interpret this card as speaking to a necessary rest and recuperation after the “battle” that took place this week, either literally or figuratively.

    Since this reading is rather intense, and next week’s energy has lots of potential for volatility and even violence, I thought I’d do one more reading to see what the cards suggested we do to help us get through the week if things do get intense.

    The cards I pulled were the Lovers and the seven of cups.

    I have to admit, I laughed when I saw these cards because it seemed to me what the tarot was suggesting for getting through next week was “sex and booze.”

    However, although that can also help in days of strife, this reading could also speak to defining and discovering your own truth and allowing yourself to connect, communicate and be vulnerable with others in the process (the Lovers) while making sure you don’t allow yourself the temptation of being drawn into a beautiful web of illusion and wishful, overly idealistic thinking and/or shiny opportunities that will lose their allure once the illusion wears off (seven of cups).

    Feel free to decide which interpretation you prefer, but if you do drink, it won’t hurt to stock up on some nice wine just in case. ;)

  • Astrological Forecast for the 2nd Week of January 2021

    Hi everyone,

    Here’s my astrological forecast for the second week of January 2021. The aspects I talk about here are:

    * Mercury square Mars (Jan 9)

    * Mercury conjunct Saturn (Jan 10)

    * Mercury conjunct Jupiter (Jan 11)

    * Mercury square Uranus (Jan 12)

    * (Lots of Mercury action this week as you can see!)

    * The new moon in Capricorn on January 13 (with several difficult aspects baked in)

    I was planning on writing a text where I make some suggestions for how to effectively use the challenging energy of this moon cycle in your life, but then I discovered this video by the astrologer Acyuta-bhava Dasa where he provides some great suggestions for this. He also breaks down the tension this month and the meaning of Saturn in Aquarius square Mars in a really clear way.

    Anyway, watch the video if your interested in any of those topics. I also really recommend Acyuta’s videos in general. His approach to astrology is more spiritual than I personally prefer, but he’s definitely an excellent astrologer who also comes across as a really decent, down to Earth guy, which is refreshing. He’s always one of my go-to astrologers for quality content, so check out his channel and subscribe.

    Speaking of astrologers I admire, Nina Gryphon also posted a very interesting video about the Saturn square Uranus aspect that will play a major part this year as well as next year to a slightly lesser extent. One thing she mentioned that I found interesting was that the dynamic is also about the “tension between authoritarianism and lawlessness.”

    Since this is a patrons-only video, I don’t feel like it would be right to say too much more. However, I do highly suggested becoming a patron of her work, which you can do here and then watch the video for yourself.

    Tarot reading for the second week of January

    For this week, I asked the cards what everyone should focus on next week, an important question since the week will kick off an intense moon cycle with some challenging energy that will continue past the full moon on January 28.

    Although I pulled the cards several days before I watched Acyuta’s video, I’m really struck by how much it resonates with what he had to say.

    The fool card (second card I drew) I would interpret to represent this new age of air we are embarking on. Yes, things are uncertain and tensions are–and will continue–to fly high for January as well as the rest of the year. However, the fool speaks to us remembering that exciting new changes are also on the horizon. They may be painful, come in a wake of instability, some things may fade away and fall to the side; in general, we humans are not so fond of change. But there is so much potential for amazing new beginnings if we allow ourselves to stumble forward and remain open to the potential of what we might find even if we don’t yet know what that is (very fool-like energy!).

    However, like Acyuta mentioned, this week is not the time to go and shout your ideas of “foolish” excitement on the mountain. As he suggests, in the midst of the heavier, more intense energy, try as much as you can to focus on this excitement in a grounded-yet-private and joyful way (Queen of Pentacles).

    The other three cards I pulled were all cups. Cups stand for the element of water. This is a yin energy that represent formlessness and passivity, but not in the negative sense. In her book Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom, Rachel Pollack write that water “stands for the inner being, and that slow coming to life of a seed.” A very fitting image for a week with a new moon, even if it is a difficult one.

    The first cup card I drew was the six of cups, then the four and ten of cups. As always, I initially only meant to choose three cards, but the four of cups basically jumped out of the deck when I took out the six and the ten called out “pick me, pick me, pick me!” at the end when I assumed I had already pulled the cards I meant to pull.

    Rather than read these cards one by one, I think it makes sense to read them as a unit.

    The six of cups can be interpreted as nostalgia for the past, an energy that can tend towards rose-colored glasses thinking whereas the four of cups speaks to someone who is hesitant to move forward, perhaps because of negative past experience, especially of an emotional or ingrained nature (water). This hesitancy and apathy is preventing this person from moving forward; they are both blind to the value of the three cups they already possess and are incapable of seizing the opportunity that is on offer (the fourth cup).

    What I find striking here is also what is missing: the two and the eight of cups, the remaining two even numbered cards in this suit.

    The two of cups brings union, in this case between the overly optimistic and overly pessimistic energy of the six and the four of the cups.

    The eight of cups is about sensing when something has come to an end and moving on, even if that choice is painful and hard to make.

    These two cards are the next step towards reaching the ten of cups.

    In short, this coming week, take some time to try to stay open to the positive sides of change and be aware of the need to balance being overly positive and idealistic or overly negative and fatalistic. Although we aren’t there yet (the two of eight of cups are still missing), the goal remains the final card, the ten of cups, which Rachel Pollack describes as a “surge of joy”.

    A very nice reading for what is going to be a very tense week astrologically and collectively.

    I hope it inspires you to go inward this week and not to buckle under the intensity and pressure that will be in the air this coming week as well as the rest of the month.

  • Astrological Forecast for the First Week of January 2021

    Happy New Year everyone!

    Isn’t it great to see the end of 2020?

    I know that I’m definitely more than ready to embark on a new year.

    As I mentioned in my January forecast, 2021 will be year that has some challenges astrologically speaking, but it definitely will not be as dramatically horrible as last year was–thank god!

    Here is my astrological forecast for the first week of January 2021.

    The important points I mentioned are:

    * January 5: Mercury in Capricorn conjunct Pluto

    * January 6: Mars moves into Taurus

    * January 8: Mercury moves into Aquarius, Venus moves into Capricorn

    * January 9: Venus trine Mars

    I apologize in advance that I seem to be overly fond of sprinkling “sort of” in my speech all the time. I’m new to this podcasting racket, so a bit of a learning curve is to be expected, also in my presentation.

    Any comments, questions or feedback are most welcome, so please ask or share away.

    In the meantime, I wish you all a great start to 2021. Below I’ve also presented the tarot reading I did for the first week for you to read through if you like.

    XOXO

    Rebeccah

    p.s. Here’s a link to the video I mentioned by the astrologer Nina Gryphon.

    Tarot reading for the first week of January 2021

    I pulled three cards for the first week on January: the five of pentacles reversed, the seven of pentacles and the Hanged Man reversed.

    I would interpret the five of pentacles as 2020 in general. This was a time of loss and great fear and all of us have emerged weary and battle scarred, although some much more than others. Since the card is reversed, I think the fear and sense of collapse and disorder is even stronger. This is most certainly not a positive card and may represent the PTSD we will continue to experience even when things start to take a turn for the better.

    However, the seven of pentacles provides a more hopeful picture. With this card, we can look back to the past year with a sense of what has stayed standing and strong and what accomplishments we made.

    Although 2020 was marked by loss and restriction, we also learned many things; we were forced to seek out new ways of working and communicating and some of them worked out much better than we may have assumed (think Zoom and home office).

    The shock and struggle we all experienced last year was terrible, for some more than others, but it has also helped put things in perspective in many ways and remind is of what it is that really matters.

    I’ve always found the Hanged Man a mysterious card. Although “hanged” has negative connotations, you can see by the figure’s face that he is serene and not suffering. Perhaps this card speaks to that what I mentioned above: all that waiting and restriction and sacrifice we had to deal with in 2020 may pay off in that we have a surer sense of which direction we would like to go and what new steps will need to be made to rebuild the world.

    The man in the image is still bound, so the time to move on is not yet at hand, but our thoughts this week can and should be focused on the year ahead in the context of what we have learned and gone through in the past–quite fitting for the first week of January in general, and particularly after a historic year like 2020.

    I wish you all a good start to the new year.!

    I’ll be back next week with more insights on January 2021, week two.

  • Astrological forecast for January

    Happy New Year everyone!

    I hope you all weathered the storms of 2020 well and are ready to embark on 2021. I know I’m not alone in being thrilled to see the end of what was one hell of a year. Astrologically speaking, 2021 still has its challenges, but it won’t be as dramatic and disastrous as 2020.

    If nothing else, 2020 is at least a very hard year to top. The year ahead will have some high points, especially in the spring and early fall.

    But more on that later. For now, let’s focus on the astrological forecast for January 2021, which I’ve just released in podcast form. I will also do a week-by-week podcast to look at the important points in detail, so stay tuned.

    Before I looked into the astrology for the month, I did a tarot reading where I asked for three cards that signify what January will bring.

    I didn’t specify any order or specific questions, just asked for general information to get a feel for what lies ahead. Once I pulled the three cards, I felt compelled to draw a fourth.

    The first three cards I drew were the 8 of pentacles, the ten of pentacles and the Hermit; the fourth card was the five of rods.

    Although the Hermit card is often used to signify the sign of Virgo, I think the card also is the perfect fit for Saturn in Aquarius, which plays a big role in January as well as the next three years in general.

    I go into more detail about this in the podcast, but in a nutshell, Saturn is more comfortable and at ease in the sign of Aquarius, where he is much more forward-looking and seeks to create new, lasting structures to replace those which have crumbled following his time in Capricorn.

    The Hermit is alone on a hill, barefoot in the snow and shining a light on the past so that we might learn and go forward and rebuild that which has not stood up against the test of time.

    I interpret the 8 of pentacles here as the work we have to put in to create these new structures and approaches, particularly as they pertain to the new elemental age of air. These are not changes that will happen overnight, but rather ones that will require hard work and effort.

    The goal?

    The 10 of pentacles, in other words, creating a (vision for) rebuilding a lasting foundation for a sustainable future and bringing a new sense of well-being to the world that has been shocked to its core by the pandemic and resulting (and still approaching) financial instability it leaves in its wake.

    However, when I looked later at the astrology, it made sense that the 4 of rods also needed to be drawn. Thanks to squares from Uranus and Mars which come up this month (and are reoccurring themes throughout the year), contention, impatience, disagreements and the urge to shake up the status quo, but not always in a way that is constructive, are also very much in the air in January.

    Saturn represents careful planning, a sober outlook and established institutions, while Uranus stands for the rebel, the new and innovative, protest and revolution; bring Mars into the mix and things will get heated up and tempers flair. The Saturn camp is seeking to rebuild and change direction, albeit slowly, but Uranus and Mars do not have the patience to listen to a five point plan presented in Parliment–they’d rather take to the streets and shout enough is enough and maybe start something on fire.

    This energy will manifest in different ways throughout the world, with various groups and individuals playing the role of the Aquarian committee and other the Martial and Uranian rebel forces.

    Worst case scenario: tensions escalate.

    Best case scenario: we plant the seeds and make progress with constructive plans for the future on many fronts, which are interrupted but not stopped by a chorus of possibly reactionary voices that don’t agree.

    All in all, a rocky but not terrible start to 2021–after 2020, the bar has definitely been lowered, so I feel confident we’ll get through it just fine.

    If you have any questions or anything to add that I may have left out of my forecast, please do post a comment below.

    I’ll be back later this month with a deeper dive into Jupiter and Saturn and a look at lunar cycles as well as a weekly breakdown of the aspects for the week.

    XOXO
