This year, the contradictory push-pull will express itself in every zodiac sign’s life and also in world events. Quite the contrasting energies! Perhaps that’s why Aquarians possess such range, flipping from metaphysical wizards to science-bound empiricists. That means Water Bearers have two celestial sentinels: quirky, side-spinning Uranus and disciplined Saturn. And three times in 2021, they’ll lock into a stressful square (a 90-degree angle), grappling for the upper hand.īefore Uranus was discovered in 1781, Saturn was considered the galactic guardian of Aquarius (Uranus is its “modern ruler”). Each possesses a valid claim over the Water Bearer’s realm while enforcing contrary agendas (think “square peg, round hole”) providing for many of our most vexing, intractable problems. These planets may be next-door neighbors, but they’re the Hatfield and McCoy of the solar system. If there was palpable tension in 2021, much of it will be supplied by a standoff between structured Saturn and changemaker Uranus-the co-rulers of Aquarius. Saturn-Uranus Squares in 2021 Global Disruption and the Digitization of Reality How can we smash through the rules while adhering to time-tested principles? Unleash our rebellious individualism while fostering communities based on equity and accessibility? We have two years to unpack this riddle-which is bound to bring more incendiary uprising and backlash than we’ve already seen. While Saturn tours Aquarius we will all be navigating the paradoxical nature of the sky. Saturn tours Aquarius until March 7, 2023 Our own forecast of a “ Black Swan event” on this date, which appeared in the 2019 edition of our annual horoscope guide prior to the pandemic, came hauntingly true. Then along came Janu-Crash! Boom! And just like that, on the arrival of a rare 22° super aspect-a tight conjunction of Sun, Pluto, Saturn and Mercury at 22° Capricorn-long-standing social hierarchies and their structures went completely off the rails as the pandemic seized our collective psyche. Ever since staunch Saturn transited through its own homecoming parade in its native sign of Capricorn, from December 19, 2017, to December 17, 2020, all systems ruled by Saturn and Capricorn were fortified for much of this journey: “the patriarchy,” governments, corporations and the economy. Over the past five years, transiting planets strengthened the powers and bank accounts of the billionaire class, a trend that we saw continuing through 2021 despite loud calls for financial oversight.

In 2021, he’d rather play Go, the world’s oldest strategy game, which was invented in China 2,500 years ago and remains wildly popular today. Besides, grandfather Saturn in Aquarius doesn’t do chess. Kings have no place when Aquarius is at the helm…unless they’re being moved across a chessboard. Aquarius is the utopian idealist of the zodiacĪquarius is a sign that thrives on equity, community and the principles of “One Love” espoused by Bob Marley, a legendary Water Bearer. And maybe that’s the point of this exercise. We entered 2021 with global societies so fractured that “all the King’s horses and all the King’s men” were not putting this beast back together again. We jumped in our trucks and showed up with our guns. We set up Autonomous Zones and encampments in major cities. We parsed through conspiracy theories (or were they?) about germ warfare, 5G networks, deep state Satanic cults, and oligarch-funded vaccines. We wore our masks or rebelled against them. We enrolled in TikTok University and made awkward attempts to crush the “Savage” challenge led by Aquarius Megan Thee Stallion.

We picked up Chromebooks from the school district and played amateur teachers while our education professionals struggled with the limitations of Google Classroom. We kicked ourselves for not buying stock in Zoom. We found new ways to connect through technology. And yes (no drumroll needed), we socially restricted ourselves-a synonym for “Saturn in Aquarius” if ever there were! From March 21 to July 1, 2020, we got a glimpse of what happens when the planet of restrictions tours one of the zodiac’s most social and revolutionary signs.
