The Five of Disks and The Queen of Cups
We start this week with the Gemini Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, which takes us into Eclipse season. This valuable energy can be used to awaken, connect, and grow ourselves individually and globally.
We can tap into the power around us to release and replenish our spirit. The cards are here as guides on how to ride the waves of these vibrations.
In Tarot, I believe every card holds both its meaning and its medicine. And the meaning of the Five of Disks could not be more perfect for this moment.
This card speaks to our worry, heaviness, and overwhelm. We feel like there is nothing to do except put our heads down and push through our pain alone. It points to our darkness but also how to come into the light.
We often worry and create stories about things that never become a reality. We spend our time in this fearful space instead of allowing more wondrous things to happen. We are so worried about what will go wrong that we miss out on what is going right.
Sometimes our worries can get us in such a tizzy that we start to feel controlled by them. We make decisions around our worries and start limiting our life. We stop letting ourselves experience the moment uninhibited and we are no longer free.
Under the spell of worry, we don’t take risks or go after what we want. We miss out on fun, spontaneity, and adventure. Worry says, make your life small and predictable.
The medicine of the Five of Disks tells us to let go of pride or fear and ask for help when we are in this state. If we just lift up our heads, we will see that there are many around us that can relate to our struggles.
There is warmth, willingness, and connection waiting for us from those that love us. But we have to be brave in order to share our pain and ask for help.
That does not mean others can solve our problems, but they can make it a little lighter. They can be an ear to listen to and a shoulder to cry on. Their presence will make it easier to weather the storm.
In our own work, we can practice calling out our anxious thoughts when they arise. If we start to notice them, we can interrupt the cycle of worry. We can say to ourselves, ‘just because I had the thought, does not mean it’s true.’
Through the support of our loved ones plus our own awareness and compassion, we can start to be in control of our anxious minds. But the main lesson of this card is that we do not have to do this work alone.
The Queen of Cups is also here to aid in our comfort and allow us to be in tune with our emotional world. She deeply empathic, sensitive, and creative.
The Queen shows us how to use these strengths in order to heal and connect to our greater purpose. She deeply aligned with the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse and her Goddess energy is present for us all.
The Queen of Cups sits in a thrown made of shells as she reflects on the water’s edge. Her energy radiates both peace and protection.
This Queen is the ultimate nurturing mama. She brings her watery and soothing energy to help us feel calm and restored.
The Queen asks: How can we care for our spirit? How can we release and restore in our bodies? What creative and spiritual practices are calling our hearts?
This is the ideal week to do something special for ourselves. Whether a Full Moon Ritual, nurturing our bodies or tapping into our creative energies. Allow the power of the Eclipse to work through you and listen to the wisdom of the cards.
Mantra for the week: I release patterns of thinking that no longer serve me and I call in strength and truth. There is support and love all around me.

foreverconscious--2020-12-01--Intuitive Astrology: Sagittarius New Moon Solar Eclipse December 2020

On December 14-15 , we have a Total New Moon Solar Eclipse in the sign of Sagittarius .
Solar Eclipses are like potent New Moons and unlock a door to a new portal of energy .
There is so much fresh energy on offer for us under this Eclipse .
It brings the promise of brand new beginnings , fresh starts , and the opportunity to set wheels into motion .
The strong , abundant energy flowing around this Eclipse may also bring some gifts and rewards our way .
This will be extra amplified by Saturn , who a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will leave Capricorn where it has been for the last 2.5 years , for the sign of Aquarius .

The energy of the Solar Eclipse has the power to amplify these gifts and rewards , so think about where you have felt most challenged and where you have done the most growth , and then stay open to any gifts and rewards that may be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Sagittarius Solar Eclipse falls at 23-24 degrees of Sagittarius , which is also just a couple of degrees shy of the Galactic Center .
The Galactic Center is believed to be the center of our Universe and sits at about 27 degrees of Sagittarius .
This is a highly sensitive degree of the zodiac and indicates strong galactic activations .
Under the light of this Eclipse , we may notice our frequency lifted and our consciousness ascending .
We may begin to become aware of growing pains or ascension symptoms .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our intuition , spirit guides , and higher self with greater ease .
Each degree of the zodiac also carries a significant message .
These messages were intuited by psychic medium Elise Wheeler , and are known as Sabian Symbols .
The Sabian Symbol for this Solar Eclipse , which falls between 23-24 degrees of Sagittarius is – a Blue Bird standing at the entrance to a house .
The idea of this bluebird standing at the door is a happy one .
What a treat it would be to see a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It would feel like a special gift or a loving sign from the Universe .
However , the Bluebird could also be missed .
You could be too busy on your phone , caught up with the thoughts in your mind or how many things you have to get done , that you miss the bluebird altogether .
And this energy is carried through the Solar Eclipse as well .
It offers new beginnings , it offers signs and gifts from the Universe- but will you be open to see them ?

Giving from the pureness of your heart is also another way to open to receiving .
This time of year tends to bring out the spirit of giving anyway , but see if you can shift this to come from a more heart-centered place rather than a place of obligation .
The Sagittarius Solar Eclipse is also connected to the Eclipses we experienced back in June 2020 .
In fact , this Solar Eclipse is directly linked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ June 5 , 2020 .
Do you remember what was called to be released from your life under that June Lunar Eclipse ?
Whatever empty space you have been working with since that time will blossom flowers under the presence of this December Solar Eclipse .
Mercury , the “ messenger of the Gods ” is also very active under this Eclipse .
Mercury rules over communication and our mind .
Under this Eclipse , our powers to create and draw things to us are amplified , so pay attention to what you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about .
What you think about expands , and this is doubly true under the power of this Eclipse .
While we do have to be mindful of our thought processes on this day , it is also important to remember that being true to ourselves is what we should aim for .
We don ’ t have to be fake positive .
We need to stay rooted in our truth , but in a way that encourages expansion .
So , for example , instead of focusing on a mistake or trying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instead acknowledge the mistake with kindness and focus on what you can do now to move forward .
The idea of Mercury being the messenger of the Gods is also about listening to our inner divinity .
Each one of us holds the essence of “ God ” within , so how can you connect with this part of yourself and listen to the wisdom it shares ?
There is also a power that comes when we listen to our own inner divinity rather than getting lost in the sea of noise that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time for us to exercise this power .
The Sagittarius Solar Eclipse beckons us to rise up and observe the many blessings that have been hidden in the shadows .

Overall , the Sagittarius Solar Eclipse carries some of the brightest energy we have experienced all year .
Stay open to the light even though there may be darkness present too .
Look out for bluebirds .
Listen to your own inner voice and keep your heart pointed in the direction you wish to head .
Your Solar Eclipse Ritual is coming soon .

The Tower – A Lesson in Chaos
If The Fool’s Journey were a film and we were watching The Fool pass through all the situations and events that have unfolded in the last fifteen tarot cards, it would be no surprise when the events of The Tower become the biggest, dramatic scene yet.
Because, like in a film, there have been subtle hints along the way that the protagonist was leading to an event that would test every part of their being.
We have watched the young Fool grow up and be given his life lessons from his teachers and role models, find love, ambition, challenges, strength, and loneliness.
In ‘part two’ of the film (or the second cycle of the Major Arcana as we know it), we’ve seen fate (Wheel of Fortune) put The Fool in a new situation, and warnings that he needs to be true to himself (Justice), acceptant of his fate (The Hanged Man), willing to adapt to change (Death), be at peace with himself (Temperance), and lastly to face his biggest fears and face his demons once and for all (The Devil).
If you had paid good money to go to the cinema and watch this film you would be waiting with anticipation to see what unexpected event is thrown at this central character, and (hopefully) willing them to draw on everything they have learned and turn their life around to something even more incredible than they imagined.
As I have begun to write this, it has occurred to me that my family’s favourite film has exactly this plot, and with Christmas approaching it seems very relevant – ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’.
‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ essentially is about a man who finds himself at his lowest ebb on Christmas Eve. Believing that everything he has worked so hard for is lost and, facing bankruptcy, he contemplates suicide.
It reflects the very essence of how The Tower card can suddenly appear and shake us to the very core of our being. But, as I alluded to above – it is this test of his character, this unprecedented situation that he finds himself in which makes him draw upon everything he has learned about his character and move on to find a higher, more complete version of himself.
In this film, the main character, George Bailey, isn’t alone when he does his soul searching- he meets his guardian angel, Clarence, to guide him through this troubling period and back towards the light.

In amongst the terrifying scene depicted on the card of people being thrown out to the rocky ground below, and lightning striking the isolated tower, we can see flames destroying the building. But also small flames following the two people.
There are twenty-two of these tiny flames and, I feel, these represent the twenty-two Major Arcana cards, reassuring us that the Universe is (and always was) guiding us through every situation – good or bad.
Having these little flames of energy in the card serves as a good reminder that all the cards are connected.
The Tower is showing us a dramatic ending, one that will affect our spiritual, mental, and physical worlds – but this is the lesson it has to teach us, just as all the other cards have a ‘job’ to teach us some aspect of our human and spiritual life.
But, this is a harsh lesson, shown often by the abruptness of it. Signified by the lightning strike – our lives can change in a flash, which can be an immensely stressful, heartbreaking, or anxious experience and one where we feel there is nowhere to turn.
But we do have something we can rely on in these moments – ourselves. We all have that Guardian Angel living inside us – our very own ‘Clarence’ – we are a divine being whose energy is centered around love.
When The Tower presents a situation in our lives, love does not always seem relevant, visible, or even possible.
Chaos is the overwhelming factor here and there is not always time to show, receive, or even imagine love during this time.
Examples of this would be loss of a job or business, the sudden death of a close friend or family member, being involved in an accident, or a natural disaster that causes havoc and devastation to your home and community.
The crown shown in this card can symbolise material possessions being cast aside, but, also the crown chakra – which is our link to the Universe and spiritual world. Many people in times of trouble feel that this part of them has also left them and feel more alone and desperate than ever before.
But, chaos is a part of the human experience and is a catalyst for change like so many of the lessons The Fool has learned along his journey.

The year 2020 has amplified chaos and change like no other year in a generation. But, it has also amplified love, kindness, compassion, solidarity, and community too. Which gives us both aspects of our tarot card.
Out of the darkness, we find ways to shine light. Just as night follows day. After the chaos, comes love.
Eventually, once The Tower has rocked our world, created a void and changed our perception of all that we knew as ‘normal’, there comes the obvious question of what now?
Unfortunately for us, that is not the question The Tower can answer. That is not its’ lesson to give.
We need to move to the next chapter, The Star, to find that out – which in itself is another lesson that we don’t stay at this chaotic point forever.
The Tower is only one scene during the film script of our life – it is not the end.

foreverconscious--2020-12-03--Intuitive Astrology: Saturn in Aquarius 2020-2023

On December 17 , 2020 , Saturn will leave Capricorn , where it has been touring for almost three years , and enter Aquarius where it will remain until 2023 .
Saturn briefly dipped its toes into the zodiac of Aquarius earlier in 2020 from March-July .
During this brief stay , we got a glimmer of what ’ s to come as Saturn moves through the sign of the water-bearer .
It is interesting to note that around the same time Saturn first entered Aquarius back in March 2020 , many countries around the world entered into lockdown .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ entrance into Aquarius again , many of those same countries are either back in lockdown or considering it .
As Saturn enters Aquarius again on December 17 , it is likely we could see the same themes emerging as March .
This time however , we may get more information or perhaps more insight into what is unfolding .
While Saturn entering Aquarius may stir up themes that we were experiencing back in March , it is also so much bigger than this .
Let ’ s take a look into Saturn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will bring- Saturn in the sign of the Water Bearer Saturn is considered the planet of rules , regulations , and responsibilities .
It is also known as the Lord of Karma .
It is important to note however , that karma is not about punishment , rather we can look at it as fuel for the growth of our soul .
Karma brings to us whatever our soul needs to ascend and evolve higher .
Karma brings to us whatever is going to help us navigate the path of our higher selves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we can view Saturn as a strict teacher .
The work it presents to us is challenging , hard , and can seem almost impossible , but once we start to get the hang of it , we can grow , prosper , and become much wiser than before .
Aquarius , which is an air sign , is represented by the water-bearer .
This can sometimes be confusing , but it is the element of air that offers us the alchemy and magic that the water-bearer brings .
The water bearer has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ water , which symbolizes the heavy emotions of our collective consciousness , and transform and neutralize them using the power of air , before pouring them back down to Earth .
The water bearer is the healer for the collective .
It is focused on community , humanitarianism , and doing what is best for the highest good of all .
Aquarius energy is also highly revolutionary and wants to do things differently .
It is all about innovation , technology , and bringing us deeper into the digital age .
What Saturn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ level , as Saturn moves through the sign of the water-bearer , we are likely to notice technological advancements , improvements to humanitarian efforts , and a focus on community .
We may see artificial intelligence take-off and perhaps other high-tech innovations that we are yet to even fathom .
Aquarius energy can also help unlock the inner healer in us and make us more accepting towards people who don ’ t conform to the status quo .
There could also be a bigger push for greater equality and to recognize previously marginalized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moving through Aquarius can guide us to challenge our own personal identity and our reason for doing things .
Why do we do what we do ?
What is the motivation for our actions ?
We may also feel freer to express ourselves without boundaries and more open to trying new things .
It may be easier for us to let go of past traditions , and instead , embrace innovation .
No matter what personal challenges you are faced with during this time , keep in the back of your mind that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ differently this time around .
The old ways may no longer work , instead we need to rise up and find new ways of moving forward .
Innovation is a keyword for this energy , so how can you innovate and choose to see things differently ?

On December 17, 2020, Saturn will leave Capricorn, where it has been touring for almost three years, and enter Aquarius where it will remain until 2023.
Saturn briefly dipped its toes into the zodiac of Aquarius earlier in 2020 from March-July. During this brief stay, we got a glimmer of what’s to come as Saturn moves through the sign of the water-bearer.
It is interesting to note that around the same time Saturn first entered Aquarius back in March 2020, many countries around the world entered into lockdown.
Now, as Saturn is approaching the entrance into Aquarius again, many of those same countries are either back in lockdown or considering it.
As Saturn enters Aquarius again on December 17, it is likely we could see the same themes emerging as March. This time however, we may get more information or perhaps more insight into what is unfolding.
While Saturn entering Aquarius may stir up themes that we were experiencing back in March, it is also so much bigger than this.
Let’s take a look into Saturn’s journey through Aquarius and what it will bring-
Saturn in the sign of the Water Bearer
Saturn is considered the planet of rules, regulations, and responsibilities. It is also known as the Lord of Karma.
It is important to note however, that karma is not about punishment, rather we can look at it as fuel for the growth of our soul.
Karma brings to us whatever our soul needs to ascend and evolve higher. Karma brings to us whatever is going to help us navigate the path of our higher selves.
As the Lord of Karma, we can view Saturn as a strict teacher. The work it presents to us is challenging, hard, and can seem almost impossible, but once we start to get the hang of it, we can grow, prosper, and become much wiser than before.
Aquarius, which is an air sign, is represented by the water-bearer. This can sometimes be confusing, but it is the element of air that offers us the alchemy and magic that the water-bearer brings.
The water bearer has a gift to take all of the water, which symbolizes the heavy emotions of our collective consciousness, and transform and neutralize them using the power of air, before pouring them back down to Earth.
The water bearer is the healer for the collective. It is focused on community, humanitarianism, and doing what is best for the highest good of all.
Aquarius energy is also highly revolutionary and wants to do things differently. It is all about innovation, technology, and bringing us deeper into the digital age.
What Saturn in Aquarius will Bring
On the surface level, as Saturn moves through the sign of the water-bearer, we are likely to notice technological advancements, improvements to humanitarian efforts, and a focus on community.
We may see artificial intelligence take-off and perhaps other high-tech innovations that we are yet to even fathom.
Aquarius energy can also help unlock the inner healer in us and make us more accepting towards people who don’t conform to the status quo. There could also be a bigger push for greater equality and to recognize previously marginalized groups.
On deeper levels, Saturn moving through Aquarius can guide us to challenge our own personal identity and our reason for doing things.
Why do we do what we do? What is the motivation for our actions?
We may also feel freer to express ourselves without boundaries and more open to trying new things. It may be easier for us to let go of past traditions, and instead, embrace innovation.
No matter what personal challenges you are faced with during this time, keep in the back of your mind that we are being called to do it differently this time around. The old ways may no longer work, instead we need to rise up and find new ways of moving forward.
Innovation is a keyword for this energy, so how can you innovate and choose to see things differently? How can you turn things on their head to ensure a new and better outcome?
If you would like to read more on what Saturn in Aquarius means for your sign, check out my report here.
You can also look back to see what major themes were present in your life the last time Saturn was in Aquarius, which was from 1991-1994. Remember, it’s not that the exact same things are going to happen again, rather you will be leveling and up and ascending whatever lessons were unfolding at this time.
The Gateway Planets: Jupiter joins Saturn
Saturn isn’t the only planet filling up the skies of Aquarius. For most of 2021, Jupiter will also be in this zodiac sign.
On December 21, 2020, Jupiter and Saturn will also meet, creating a rare combination of energy known as the Great Conjunction, which will herald us into a new era.
(You can read more on this incredible activation of energy here.)
While Saturn and Jupiter will only meet once, having both of these powerful planets in the same sign is going to amplify Aquarian energy, especially throughout 2021.
Both Jupiter and Saturn are also what I consider, gateway planets, which means their energy help us to form a bridge between one state of consciousness and the next.
If we think of their position in our solar system, both Jupiter and Saturn are the bridge between the personal planets that orbit close to the Sun like Mercury, Venus, and Mars, and the planets that are way out in space like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
It is by navigating the lessons of the gateway planets that we are able to dive deeper into the planets further away, which represent the higher states of consciousness.
With both gateway planets meeting and fusing their energy, we are also able to take quantum leaps forward and ascend higher and faster into those higher states of consciousness.
There are likely to be many galactic activations occurring all through Saturn’s visit in Aquarius but there is no doubt that the strongest of these will occur on December 21, 2020.
You can read more on how this meeting of Jupiter and Saturn is going to affect your sign with your Great Conjunction Report. (If you have to pick one report to get, make it this one!)
Saturn Leaves Aquarius March 2023
Saturn will finally leave Aquarius for Pisces on March 7, 2023. At this time, whatever karmic lessons we have had to learn since March of 2020 will come to a close.
As Saturn leaves one sign for another, it is also said to leave a gift behind as a reward for all of our efforts.
It is only when we look back come March 2023, that we will really be able to understand the lessons that the Lord of Karma was bringing our way.
It is at this time that we will be able to see clearly the road we have traveled and how much stronger and wiser we are because of it.
Navigating your Saturn Return
If you happen to be turning 29, 58, or 87 at any point during March 2020 to March 2023, you are likely to be having your Saturn Return while Saturn is moving through Aquarius.
A Saturn Return occurs when Saturn returns to the exact same place it was at the time of your birth, which takes place every 29 or so years.
You tend to feel your Saturn return for about 2-3 years.
Saturn Return is a time of maturity and leveling up. You are likely to make some big changes at this time that shape who you are and what you are willing to give your time and effort to.
This is also a time for taking responsibility for what you want and going after what you truly desire.

foreverconscious--2020-12-10--Intuitive Astrology: Jupiter in Aquarius 2020-2021

On December 20 , 2020 , Jupiter leaves Capricorn for the sign of Aquarius .
Jupiter spends about 12 months in each sign , so its placement can give us clues into what ’ s ahead for the year to come .
As Capricorn is not considered a favorable placement for the expression of Jupiter , we may also notice Jupiter ’ s energy kick into high-gear as it shifts into its new home of the Aquarius water-bearer .
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and abundance .
It shines a light on things so we can see more clearly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bigger picture and expand our mindset to gain new insights and information .
Jupiter brings a naturally optimistic energy that always points in the direction of seeing the silver lining and focusing on the higher purpose or reason for all things .
As Jupiter rules over abundance , its energy can sometimes create excess or the desire for more .
But integrating and appreciating the abundance already present in our lives is a good way to soften some of this energy .
Jupiter also expands whatever it touches , so whenever Jupiter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what we are choosing to focus on has the power to expand .
As Jupiter travels through the sign of Aquarius , we are going to feel its energy most strongly on the day it enters , on the day it retrogrades , on the day it leaves retrograde , and the day it leaves Aquarius for Pisces .
Here are the dates to watch : Tune in to what unfolds around these times , as it ’ s likely that Jupiter could be trying to bring your attention to something .
Jupiter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new clarity and with a new light .
It grants us the awareness to look at things differently and to make changes accordingly .
Whenever we feel stuck or unsure , it is Jupiter ’ s energy that helps us to soar above it all and to look at the situation from a birdseye view .
Sometimes getting this clarity is what can help us to move from a rigid , stuck mindset , into a more open one .
As Aquarius is a sign that rules over innovation and doing things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find that 2021 really calls for us to take a new approach .
The old ways of doing things , the tried and true traditions of the past , may just not be enough anymore .
The world is changing , we are changing , and this strong Aquarius energy is only going to advance that .
Jupiter in Aquarius for the Collective Jupiter entering Aquarius will also bring shifts that we can see on a global level .
This is also supported by the fact that Jupiter will not be alone on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also be in Aquarius , and both of these planets in 2021 will be shining a brighter and even deeper spotlight on Aquarius themes .
While there is much debate on when the Age of Aquarius exactly starts , there is no doubt that having both these heavyweight planets in this air sign will bring Age of Aquarius themes to the forefront .
These themes include rapid advancements in technology , a shift to a more community-based approach , new innovations , and a focus on humanitarianism .
Aquarius energy is all about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

There is this strong focus of moving away from the old ways of doing things and instead , embracing new ways that are more just , fair , and equal .
One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of under this presence of Aquarius energy is that we don ’ t fall into a “ group-think ” mentality or lose our individual freedoms along the way .
While it is true that society thrives when all of us thrive , we also have to ensure that individual needs are not overly sacrificed for the sake of the group .
We may see a push-pull between these two ideas of trying to adapt to the needs of the whole , without losing sight of the individual .
It is definitely a balancing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through 2021 .
1 . )
Identify an area where you are feeling stuck .
Write it down .
Then ask yourself , what is the craziest , radical , most out-there action I could take ?
Allow your imagination to take over and write whatever comes to your mind .
Reflect back on what you have written ; what feelings have come up for you ?
Are there any messages or pearls of wisdom hiding in what you have written ?
2 . )
Identify something that is troubling you .
Write @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of all the silver lining moments you can think of .
It may be hard at first , but just see if you can push yourself to come up with 3-4 or even more .

Understanding Jupiter’s Energy
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and abundance. It shines a light on things so we can see more clearly. It guides us to look at the bigger picture and expand our mindset to gain new insights and information.
Jupiter brings a naturally optimistic energy that always points in the direction of seeing the silver lining and focusing on the higher purpose or reason for all things.
As Jupiter rules over abundance, its energy can sometimes create excess or the desire for more. But integrating and appreciating the abundance already present in our lives is a good way to soften some of this energy.
Jupiter also expands whatever it touches, so whenever Jupiter is active in our cosmic skies, what we are choosing to focus on has the power to expand.

December 31, 2020- Jupiter leaves Aquarius for Pisces
Tune in to what unfolds around these times, as it’s likely that Jupiter could be trying to bring your attention to something.
Jupiter expands things so we can see with a new clarity and with a new light. It grants us the awareness to look at things differently and to make changes accordingly.
Whenever we feel stuck or unsure, it is Jupiter’s energy that helps us to soar above it all and to look at the situation from a birdseye view.
Sometimes getting this clarity is what can help us to move from a rigid, stuck mindset, into a more open one.
As Aquarius is a sign that rules over innovation and doing things in a unique way, we may find that 2021 really calls for us to take a new approach.
The old ways of doing things, the tried and true traditions of the past, may just not be enough anymore.
The world is changing, we are changing, and this strong Aquarius energy is only going to advance that.
Jupiter in Aquarius for the Collective
Jupiter entering Aquarius will also bring shifts that we can see on a global level. This is also supported by the fact that Jupiter will not be alone on its tour through Aquarius.
Saturn will also be in Aquarius, and both of these planets in 2021 will be shining a brighter and even deeper spotlight on Aquarius themes.
While there is much debate on when the Age of Aquarius exactly starts, there is no doubt that having both these heavyweight planets in this air sign will bring Age of Aquarius themes to the forefront.
These themes include rapid advancements in technology, a shift to a more community-based approach, new innovations, and a focus on humanitarianism.
Aquarius energy is all about what’s good for the collective. It allows us to understand that the well-being of society is about the whole, not just a few individuals.
Having both Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius for most of 2021, is likely to bring a change to the rules and regulations of society, how we choose to live, and what we choose to value.
There is this strong focus of moving away from the old ways of doing things and instead, embracing new ways that are more just, fair, and equal.
One thing we do have to be mindful of under this presence of Aquarius energy is that we don’t fall into a “group-think” mentality or lose our individual freedoms along the way.
While it is true that society thrives when all of us thrive, we also have to ensure that individual needs are not overly sacrificed for the sake of the group.
We may see a push-pull between these two ideas of trying to adapt to the needs of the whole, without losing sight of the individual. It is definitely a balancing act and one that will be explored through 2021.
Jupiter in Aquarius Journal Prompts
1.) Identify an area where you are feeling stuck. Write it down. Then ask yourself, what is the craziest, radical, most out-there action I could take? Allow your imagination to take over and write whatever comes to your mind. Reflect back on what you have written; what feelings have come up for you? Are there any messages or pearls of wisdom hiding in what you have written?
2.) Identify something that is troubling you. Write it down. Now make a list of all the silver lining moments you can think of. It may be hard at first, but just see if you can push yourself to come up with 3-4 or even more.
3.) Make a list of all the things that make you feel abundant. Be sure to fill your week with at least 2-3 of them.

We feel big movement in the areas of our lives where we have been doing the work. The New Moon brings the restart and support we need. The cards show us how to work with this energy.
The Five of Swords, also known as Defeat, shares its wisdom and medicine. Through this card we are being asked to dive into our shadow-side and be accepting of the realities of life.
Though no wants to feel defeat, it’s a natural part of life. And this year has been full of disappointments and defeats for many of us.
On this card are five swords in the shape of a pentagram. The top of the pentagram is pointed towards us.

The Age of Aquarius
There’s no doubt we are seeing some strong Age of Aquarius themes all throughout 2021. This is especially due to the Jupiter Saturn conjunction that occurred on December 21, 2020, in the sign of Aquarius. This conjunction will shape a lot of the themes we will see unfolding in 2021.

Saturn Square Uranus
This is the major feature of 2021! Whenever Uranus is involved, its energy always adds a layer of unpredictability. It can bring shocks and surprises, but also the power to awaken.
As Uranus makes these tense square alignments with Saturn we could see innovation, restlessness, rebellion, and a complete overhaul of society and its systems. Uranus is all about freedom, change, and revolution, whereas Saturn is all about time-honored traditions, responsibility, and boundaries. As these two battle it out, we may see a push-pull between these dynamics.
This alignment can also shine a spotlight on the state of the environment, and can potentially trigger natural disasters. We definitely need to be extra mindful about how we are treating the planet in 2021.
Uranus and Saturn form this alignment three times:
February 17
June 14
December 24
Neptune Square the Lunar Nodes
Neptune square the lunar nodes is something we were feeling towards the end of 2020, but it kicks into gear through January and February of 2021 too.
Neptune aligning with the lunar nodes or nodal axis, indicates deception and illusion, that all is not as it seems. It guides us to look away from the smoke and mirrors and to instead, go within. We may find it hard to trust the resources we once believed in, so we have to turn to our own intuition and inner knowing.
Whenever a planet touches the nodal axis, it also indicates a certain level of fate or destiny unfolding. It seems whatever illusions are breaking away are ones that were destined to. When the veil is lifted, we are able to see in to a deeper truth.
Pay attention to any deeper truths that are revealed at this time, and don’t be afraid to lift up the veil to see what’s behind.
The Astrological New Year
March 20-21 (depending on your timezone), brings the Equinox and the start of the astrological new year, which is when the Sun moves into the first zodiac sign of Aries. It’s at this point that we start to see what 2021 is really all about.

Lionsgate 88 New Moon
Lionsgate is always a special time of year as we witness the rising of Sirius, our Spiritual Sun. While Sirius begins rising at the end of July, August 8 gets extra attention due to the numerology code 88, which has the power to activate light codes and our DNA. In 2021, August 8 also brings the Leo New Moon, which will be spectacular energy for manifestation and light work. This is a time to set intentions of love and healing for the entire planet.
Venus Retrograde
Venus enters retrograde on December 19, 2021, in the sign of Capricorn. Think back to what unfolded around the Venus Retrograde of May 2020, you may find that you are leveling up and advancing on whatever themes were stirred for you at that time. Venus Retrograde is always a time of heart healing and awakening. It is also a good time to practice forgiveness and to clear old heart-wounds.
2021 brings a few bumps and shake-ups, but it also offers us the gift of creativity and innovation. This is a year to really expand your mind, take flight from your comfort zone, and to try new things.
