Jan 2021 | Wk1 (1/1-1/2)
Friday, January 1 |
· Supported pursuits – We begin 2021 under a giving-back Moon, moving through the middle degrees of fiery Leo. Today’s Moon inclines us towards sharing what we’ve learned, our skills and our advice with others in order that they may learn from us, particularly as it relates to identity issues, creativity, how to lighten up and have fun and caring for animals too.
· Attraction – Through this week and next, Venus will be connecting with Mars while both planets are in fire signs (Sagittarius and Aries). Today, on Friday, the planetary day of Venus, the intensity of this drama begins to hit and some may find that while a relationship just ended (Venus on South Node), a new one is quickly in the wings. Regardless, the beginning of January offers us a signal that the available energy is hot to take advantage of if we are looking to get physical and engage in relations, or otherwise passionately connecting with others. We should keep in mind, Venus in the last decan of Sagittarius isn’t always the most romantically glamorous of lovers but is a sure fire signal that the drama-levels will be hot.
· Resolutions – The overall dynamic focus on fire in today’s astrology is a helpful nod towards the often underappreciated, “New Year’s Resolution.” Brainstorming and wild-eyed passions can lead us farther along today to re-imagined and new ideas before our rational brains set in and question whether we really can achieve it or not. Make a note of the whims that come to mind. These wild horses have some land to run and wind to run in yet in our 2021.

· My plan, in my image – The disseminating-phased Moon wraps up its time today moving through the last decan of Leo and is a helpful ally towards diffusing certain aspects of the waxing Venus/Mars trine (see 1/1/21 post). Today’s Moon inspires us to take charge of new information, ideas and plans (resolutions?) we’ve made recently and begin putting some pen to paper on them. Prompting thoughts of how these ideas and plans will serve me and my identity, my station in life, my reputation will all help craft this creative architecture. Towards the day’s end, the Moon connects to Mars in Aries and by evening we may be feeling particularly empowered or passionate and needing a good outlet for this extra energy. Be on the lookout for “drying up” in this hot and fiery energy, keep hydrated to help mitigate exhaustion and headaches.
· An ally – The storytellers continue to emphasize these plans. Mercury today enters the middle degrees of Capricorn and while here, is particularly able to yield a helpful wink that a friend, an ally, is in the wings and can assist in the development and communication of plans and sharing of information. Here, Mercury is a gifted helper towards plan-crafting, figuring out the details and hard work needed to bring this new plan to life.
· The USA’s mirror – In a mundane sense, the Sun overhead today opposes the Sun that the USA was born under. We are likely to see in the news today and the next couple, a particular emphasis of stories regarding others perspectives and viewpoints of the collective identity (Sun) of the US.
