2020 HINDSIGHT: Rick Levine's Astrology Forecast for January 2021

We are entering a new year in more ways than one. Naturally, the calendar informs us of the change, but so do the planets. The three personal planets change signs within a span of only three days, shifting our perspective in a moment’s notice. Warrior Mars leaves impulsive Aries after a six-month stay, heading for the more fertile pastures of Taurus on January 6. Mercury exits stable Capricorn and enters Aquarius on January 8, reinforcing our curiosity about what’s ahead. Nevertheless, Venus enters Capricorn the same day, preventing us from completely abandoning the past. In our mad dash into the future, we can’t give up on the traditions that are still relevant. The real action this month is from the clash of the fixed signs. Mars and Uranus join forces in determined Taurus on January 20. But the stress between the status quo and evolution unfolds all month as Mercury in Aquarius squares Mars on January 8, followed by Mars squaring Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius on January 13 and January 22, respectively. Although conflict and frustration abound, our vision extends beyond our normal reach when Jupiter in Aquarius squares Uranus on January 17. It will be difficult keeping up with all the dynamic change due to the frequency and intensity of all the transits.

The transformational Capricorn New Moon on January 12 is an invitation to cut the ties that bind us to 2020. This New Moon is conjunct Pluto, as if to remind us that it’s the anniversary of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction that kicked off the Never-Ending Year. Shadow work is never fun, but the payoff is in metaphysical riches. Evolutionary metamorphosis awaits us if we are willing to look under every rock, explore every cave, and dive deeply in our inner worlds. The month culminates with the Leo Full Moon on January 28. Although Venus is conjunct Pluto to remind us we cannot leave the heaviness of Capricorn’s issues unresolved, the Sun’s conjunction with propitious Jupiter empowers us with hope for a better future. The Leo Moon encourages self-expression, especially when filled with Jupiter’s optimism. Solar and lunar squares to Uranus and Mars indicate the cosmos still has a few unexpected surprises in store, but it will take time to gain perspective on the events of the month since Mercury slows down to turn retrograde on January 30.

January’s fast-paced planetary dynamics are complicated. It’s easy to look ahead and see how fast the changes will come. However, it’s impossible to know the specifics of the upcoming events because they are taking place within the context of much larger planetary cycles that will take years to develop. Nevertheless, we have been lifted out of our old complacent world and placed on a flying carpet, weaved by the yearlong tapestry of conjunctions between Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter. It’s a magic ride and we still don’t know where it is taking us. Time will tell. In the meantime, we must keep 2020 alive as we move into the future. Slipping into denial will only land us in deeper problems down the road. But we can’t stay on the road if we keep our eyes locked on the rearview mirror. Look back for the remedial lessons. Look ahead to negotiate the challenges along the way. And stay present for maximum efficiency.
