| Introduction Merry Solstice Blessings! What a year! Astrologically speaking 2020 was a BIG year, but there’s still some major shifts coming in 2021. Use the next few days to reflect on what you’ve learned this year and celebrate your successes, big and small. A key theme that’s winding down from this Fall’s astrology, is the journey towards a deeper sense self-respect, self-love and self-confidence: What have you learned this year that makes you stronger? How have you learned to take better care of your wellbeing, or what resolutions do you want to make for yourself now? The Winter Solstice season is the time for reconnecting with your ‘inner spark’, your sense of purpose => that which brings your heart true joy. How can you free up more space for these in your life this coming year? |

Jan 17th – Jupiter in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus Jan 19th – Sun Enters Aquarius Jan 20th – Mars conjunct Uranus in Taurus + Waxing Quarter Moon Lean INto your individuality and let your ‘freak flag’ fly! Over the next 4 weeks, don’t be afraid to speak your mind, stand up for your principles or be a little bit unconventional => this activation is a calling for bold thought, courage, and the willingness to explore new, and better, ways of doing things. The world needs diversity of thought now more than ever in order to face the new challenges, and a key theme for the next month is taking a step back to gain perspective on the big picture. Jan 23rd – Sun conjunct Saturn in Aquarius Jan 28th – Sun conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius Jan 26th – Sun in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus A key theme for 2021 (even more than in 2020) is tension between the need for radical change, and the desire to hold onto what’s known or ‘safe’.

The guidance for this activation is to be willing to create or even fight for change, as long as it’s for the right reasons. You may need to do some soul searching now to get clear on your core beliefs, values and principles. Be careful now not to get too caught up in someone else’s world view or fear mentality. |
