REJOICE! 2021’S STARS SAY WE CAN DARE TO DREAM AGAIN
Yes, we’ve had a terrible year. But don’t despair, says OSCAR CAINER, the auspicious Arc of Aquarius can heal us all ...
GeT the bells out! Rejoice! 2021 brings the breakthroughs we’ve been waiting for and a welcome return to the lifestyles we enjoy. They say hindsight is 20-20 and, as this miserable year moves into the rearview mirror, we can begin looking forwards again.
After a proper annus horribilis, a spectacular event I’ve dubbed the Arc of Aquarius will shine over 2021, bringing brilliant flashes of innovation and the renewal of hope.
So, what is the Arc of Aquarius? It is a series of celestial events we haven’t experienced for decades: starting with a ‘stellium’, where a remarkable gathering of planets converges in Aquarius in February.
As well as this, Aquarius’s modern and traditional rulers, Uranus and Saturn, will lock in a yearlong dance, meaning breakthroughs are high on the cosmic agenda — making plenty of reasons to expect exciting changes and opportunities in 2021.
Indeed, with Aquarian themes dominating the next year, we won’t be held back by convention.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20)
No oNe finds collaborating, co- operating or coexisting particularly easy. With the best of intentions, situations arise that test our resolve.
Sometimes, defence mechanisms kick in. Before we know it, we’ve created self-protective barriers that stop us realising our relationship potential.
Yet no one’s an island. And although independence is an important aspect of your personality, it takes teamwork to feel really connected. You’re as in need of that as anyone!
In 2021 you can change an unrealistic expectation about your heart’s desires. January’s Full Moon encourages you to take a risk that will make you feel emotionally much more secure.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21)
SINce Venus, your ruler, brings love and abundance into the cosmos, you have an intuitive understanding of your inner strengths and virtues. This will grow in 2021, and your breakthrough comes from the realisation that you don’t need confirmation of your attributes.
The Arc of Aquarius brings reminders you’re good enough, and can be loved, just for being you. As The cosmos is in our corner in 2021, encouraging us to make better, longer-lasting choices that will improve all our interactions — especially in love and romance.
That’s not to say we can simply return to pre-pandemic life. But 2021 brings the tools to build a new, bright future.
When the Solar eclipse arrives in June, we may not be virus-free, but society will be so much better equipped to deal with the consequences, we’ll dare to dream again.
Aquarius might not be the most emotionally expressive sign, but lockdowns have reminded us all of our need for human contact.
of course, lockdown restrictions won’t disappear overnight. Some emotional challenges will take time to heal. But in 2021, relationships needn’t be covid casualties or collateral damage.
The auspicious Arc highlights opportunities for love to blossom. established partnerships will find fresh ways to have fruitful fun, and anyone looking for love should be ready for exciting encounters in the most surprising places.
Here, OSCAR CAINER takes a closer look at what 2021 has in store for love and relationships. you realise you no longer need to emphasise qualities you consider most desirable, you’ll become even more attractive to someone who sees and values the more subtle aspects of your nature.
As Venus creates another ‘stellium’ planetary conjunction with Mercury and Uranus in April, you’ll understand that exaggerating the qualities you think people want you to have inadvertently hides the true you.
The Arc of Aquarius, which shapes 2021, signals less stress and more satisfaction in your key relationships. Your love life will gently blossom in unimaginably delightful ways.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 22)
RelATIoNShIpS are complex; the more we think about them, the more complicated they become. And, emotional minefields are challenging for anyone to navigate without getting hurt.
Surely, with all your experience, you’ve learned the techniques to be able to make good choices and find a clever way through? Think of the Full Moon, in January, as your passing out ceremony!
2021’s the year when you get to put your knowledge into practice and enjoy the fruits of your learning.
You are no longer going to have to focus your agile mind on trying to work out what to do in order to attract the attention you desire. What unfolds, will unfold naturally. What’s more, by your birthday, you’ll have the confidence to be able to know when something (or someone) is ‘right’.
2021’s the year when love comes more easily into your life than you dare imagine.
It won’t be perfect, of course . . . nothing is. Yet your prospects of success are very high indeed.
CANCER (June 23 – July 23)
oNce upon a time, your dreams of romantic bliss involved visions of castles and happyever-after endings.
But, like everyone else, experience taught you to put those ideals to one side, and make the best of whatever life throws at you. Yet every once in a while, you allow yourself to dream.
The Full Moon, in January, brings an experience that reminds you true love is a consequence of emotional affinity; and the deepest bonds are forged over time rather than seemingly haphazard encounters.
By August’s astrological Blue Moon, you’ll appreciate valuable friendships are often forged in the fires of dispute and diversity.
A relationship that’s gone through a struggle will turn out to be rewarding and enduring as a deep level of trust develops. 2021’s Arc of Aquarius has treats in store. however you define fairy tales and magic, the ambitious dreams you’ve long set aside won’t stay tucked away in your imagination.
The deeper into 2021 you get, the more deeply someone special will ‘get into you’. It looks very promising.
YoU’Re a charismatic leo. You were born with a magnetism that attracts people to you.
Yet you can’t help but wonder if your admirers are the type of folk you actually want to be admired by.
You’re discerning and perceptive. You also tend to raise the bar so high it’s almost impossible for anyone to jump over it.
This year, the Great conjunction enables you to reassess your exceptionally high standards and allow yourself a broader vista.
As your own levels of compassion and kindness are intensified, so you come to value those qualities in the people around you.
By the Solar eclipse in June, you’ll have successfully relaxed
