Are you ready to embrace the powerful energies that 2021 promises us? As the year draws to a close, we all agree that it has brought its fair share of chaotic situations.

This busy year has unfolded with many rare astrological events that have caused great changes around the world. And before the end of the year, we have the Great Conjunction on the 21st, which will usher in the new age of Aquarius.

In 2021, there will be some interesting retrograde cycles and eclipses that we need to pay attention to. The year probably won’t be as intense as 2020, but it will have its fair share of powerful moments. Here are the major astrological events of 2021 you should know about.

The new age of Aquarius

The Great Conjunction of December 21st is the first Jupiter-Saturn alignment in Aquarius since 1405! Saturn will be with the water carrier until 2024 and Jupiter will be there for most of 2021. So be ready to enter this new era of progressive energy.

When 7 astrological bodies are under this sign in February 2021, this will be the time when we will feel this energy the most. Together they will create a stellium. We will focus on humanitarian efforts, unconventional inventions, and other technological advances. And this energy will be with us well beyond 2021!

Air signs in Mercury

Aquarius isn’t the only air sign that will affect the coming year. Mercury will have 3 retrograde cycles in the air signs of Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. The first will take place on January 30, then on May 29, and finally on September 27.

The problem with the communications master in air signs is that it will create a period of confusion. But you can use the energy to think of new ways to socialize and be more aware.

Eclipse in Gemini and Sagittarius

All eclipses for 2021 are expected to be on the Gemini / Sagittarius axis, implying that there will be some drama. There may be revelations, unexpected endings, or even new beginnings! Eclipses are scheduled for May 26, June 20, November 19, and December 4.

These four eclipses will bring about major changes in the way we think and communicate. Expect to make changes to your belief systems and your relationships with the global community.

Venus in conjunction with Mars

Summer 2021 will be quite busy with the scorching energy of the Venus-Mars conjunction in mid-July. The passionate energy of Mars will align with the sensual Venus in the fire sign of Leo, throwing sparks everywhere!

These two smoky planets meet every two years and begin a new cycle of romantic relationships and creativity.

The energy will be there for us for almost a month because they will be together from June 27th to July 21st. With none of the planets going retrograde in 2021, they are ready to manage our lives in a much more fluid way!

Saturn squared to Uranus

While most events seem harmonious, the Saturn-Uranus position will be difficult! The master of restrictions and lore is not very happy with spending too much time in an unconventional Aquarius.

Likewise, Uranus is a little nervous with its change-loving energy is a stubborn, grounded Taurus. When these planets collide three times in 2021, they will create great clashes. February 14, June 14, and December 24 will be the fixed dates.

Old traditions will be challenged by new thinking patterns. We will constantly question our old beliefs as we try to embrace new ones. If you can get through these stages, the planets will open your mind to new possibilities and teach you to accept changes for the better.

Overall, 2021 will be a very busy period. And we can only hope that this new year is sweeter than in 2020 and gives us the opportunity to live our life more peacefully!
