Year of the Ox

Astrologically, 2021 is forecast to be a year of very dramatic change. A Great Awakening is occurring and many people are beginning to see through the illusion – the Matrix – involving not only politics, but religion, values, and business and the monetary system – every area of life imaginable. More and more of us are beginning to see through the lies that we have been told about all of it for our entire lives and the unfolding truth is unlocking a new world for us all. But it should not come as a surprise. We should have seen it coming. For the past several thousand years, ancient cultures have all pointed to this time as a time of dramatic change. And here we are!

Astrology is not that far out there when you understand that all it does is examine cycles – and everything follows cycles – so if one pays attention, one begins to have the “uncanny” ability to interpret and forecast patterns and anticipate what lies ahead based upon what has already occurred. There is nothing mystical about it.

There are people around us that seem to be going absolutely insane. Is it because they cannot handle change... let alone such dramatic change? This isn't going to be just another year like the one before. We all have a giant leap to take. Everything is on the table. Everything will change. Quickly. Soon. Suddenly and Shockingly. Some changes will be great. Some will be a surprise.

Neurologically, we are coming into a FIVE year – 2 + 0 + 2+ 1 = 5. All the time I see reminders with the number 555, the angelic number of change. The number “5” is all about sudden change, adventure, and progress. So how can we embrace the changes that are coming and not be afraid of the new world rising?

First and foremost, we all need to be flexible and open minded to adapt to what lies ahead. Revelations are likely to come out that we are going to resist – some of us are not going to want to hear what will be revealed – we are going to resist believing what comes to pass – like an ox, dragging our feet. The shocking epiphanies that come to light will change everything. We must be ready.

Reading the future by looking at the stars and planets, let's get a bit more specific as to what to expect in 2021. I am not a skilled astrologer, so I take my lead from one who is – Joseph P. Anthony from Sedona. We have entered the Age of Aquarius. Our alignment with the stars and planets ushers in a new era, dramatically unlike the one we have emerged from. The big players in 2021 are the planets Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus. Many of us have been looking up into the night sky in the past week to observe the conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn. What does it all mean?

Jupiter and Saturn have shifted into a new field of energy within the galaxy now that they have moved into the constellation of Aquarius. They were in Capricorn through 2020, which left us with a great heaviness. The energy of Aquarius, however, is a field of greater hope and freedom, more understanding and greater empathy toward humanity. So we are moving with the planets and stars in a positive direction, but the path to get there will be challenging, especially in the first two months of the year... because Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, is in the sign of Taurus the Bull which represents belief systems and monetary systems. Uranus and the other two planets are going to be at odds with each other during January and February. Because of this it will be an uncomfortable time and one that we need to give extra attention to.

Jupiter, appearing in Aquarius until May 13, will be all about humanity and coming together before it transits to mystical Pisces on July 28, which will deliver a period of improved optimism – a time when we will be more psychic, a time when we may feel like Alice in Wonderland and wonder how we got there and where we are going. It should be a very fortuitous time, even mystical for many with increased attention to spirituality. It should be a good time to look within and refine our understanding of who we think we are – as individuals and as a collective humanity. Life should begin to take on deeper meanings of what it is all about, dissolving old beliefs. It should be a good time to spend in nature to get reacquainted with ourselves and reconnect with what is real, which is, after all, exemplified by the world of nature. Summer 2021 should be a dreamy and magical time – all part of the cycle. Whatever results between now and summer in early 2021 will have a very positive effect on the world.

Sometime in the first two weeks of the new year when Jupiter Squares Uranus we will likely experience considerable chaos. More than likely this will be in the political arena, considering the January 6 electoral certification date and the January 20 inauguration date. Expect a surprise that you don't see coming. Expect protests and civil unrest, and a lot of discomfort. There is going to be a major uproar within humanity on a very large scale at this time. The world will feel major changes that will occur as a result of what occurs in the United States. There could be a loss of power due to a solar event or perhaps the internet will deliberately go down for a time.

Uranus will be in Taurus until April of 2026, so we are in for an extended revolutionary time on every level in which the world will change completely. Saturn just moved into Aquarius like Jupiter, but will stay there only until 2023. The ruler Saturn is all about limitations and restrictions of government and corporations, but Aquarius is about humanity. Saturn will be a big player in terms of changes to government, technology, and communication. When Saturn Squares Uranus on February 17, look for another major event within a week or two of that day – something to do with humanity fighting back against government – probably not something peaceful. The celestial alignments point to a time of confusion, but one that will begin to clear after the first couple of months.

During the first two months one should choose carefully those people that surround them and pay close attention to outdated ideas that no longer work. By June, much should have changed – money, foundations, communications, new structures, new ways of doing things – possibly in the way we heal, possibly with cryptocurrencies or other new currencies. There should be a bit of a slow down during summer, a time of recovery, when things feel a lot better. By fall we should see an emphasis on new relationships, especially between countries. A second wave of financial reform should be the topic of the day by November. Whatever occurs will be worldwide – 2021 is all about planetary change – but it begins in the United States. At the end of 2021 we will be taking a long hard look at how government, corporations, media, and other power structures play such an influencing role in our lives.

There is a very positive alignment around July 13 when the cosmic lovers Venus and Mars come close together in the constellation of Leo, the sign of love, creativity, and profundity. This foretells a time of feeling a warm connection to everyone and everything. The political impasse that blocks our path at this time will be resolved before summer. It will be a summer of love, a significant time for the planet and all its peoples. After May and through July we will be in a time of joy once again, a time of bringing out more love in the world. Somehow, some way we will all be seeking more happiness in our lives. It will be a time of strong creativity and loving connection.  Have faith.  All is as it should be.
