Kiss 2020 Goodbye—Your 2021 Horoscope Predicts A Major Turning Point

Wave goodbye to 2020, because the future awaits you and (real talk!) there’s nothing to miss about this sorry excuse for a year. After all, 2020 was incredibly harsh, even by astrological standards. All the heavy-handed planets—Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto—joined forces in disciplinary, no-nonsense Capricorn, laying down the groundwork for a total societal overhaul. Structures came crashing down, authority figures were tested and it seemed like we’d reached the point of no return. Luckily, the tides are turning in your 2021 horoscope, so if 2020 was especially difficult for you, 2021 will feel like a breath of fresh air by comparison. In fact, it you can view it as a brand new beginning!

2020 ended with expansive Jupiter and karmic Saturn forming a conjunction in Aquarius. The last time these two planets connected in Aquarius was in the early 1400s, a time that sparked a major turning point in Western civilization. In fact, this is when the dark ages came to an end and the Renaissance began, a period that prized artistic expression, philosophical exploration and humanity. Therefore, you can expect a cultural revolution of our own to start brewing come 2021! Aquarius is the zodiac sign of community, the collective, altruistic efforts and hope, and these ideals are what will push us forward, kicking and screaming.

That’s not the only reason to have hope. From May to July, you’ll get a taste of a Jupiter in Pisces. Jupiter is the planet of growth, expansion, adventure and optimism, and since it rules over Pisces, this transit is made for beauty and blessings. Expanding spirituality, compassion and creativity, this transit will help you let go of all the pain of last year and heal all the boundaries that have separated us.

The North Node (AKA your ultimate destiny) will also spend the year in mutable air sign Gemini, encouraging you to unlock your mind, connect intellectually and adopt a sense of duality in your perspective. A lunar eclipse and two solar eclipses on the Gemini-Sagittarius axis will stretch until the end of the year, making 2021 a time of truth-seeking, open-mindedness and higher educational growth.

As far as retrogrades go, 2021 is a breeze compared to 2020. Last year, both action-packed Mars and romantic Venus-stationed retrograde, taking your career and your love life for an uncomfortable spin. Fortunately, for the vast majority of, 2021, neither Venus nor Mars will station retrograde, and they will move forward unfettered by backwards tailspins.

However, you still have three Mercury retrogrades to worry about and each of them take place in air signs. In astrology, air is an element that is concerned with logic over emotion, and this year, Mercury retrogrades will have you rethinking the ideas you live by and the methods through which you communicate them.

If you couldn’t be more ready to say adios to 2020, start the new year right by reading your 2021 horoscope. Oh, and make sure you read for both your sun and rising signs, because the more insight, the better.
