Mercury Retrograde – 2021

On January 30, 2021 we will see our first Mercury retrograde.

This Mercury’s retrograde is in independent, free thinking, illusive and quirky Aquarius. Ruled by Uranus, this is the sign that focuses us on collective efforts to work together for the greater good of society. Keep in mind though that the definition of “greater good” is very open to interpretation!! We saw many people on January 6 convinced they had to storm the Capitol for their version of the “greater good.” How we socialize – not for a quick drink – but how we gather with people to further the “cause” is where Aquarius dwells.

Aquarius also rules the domains of science and technology.

Look for many “secrets” to come out about past botched vaccine distributions, those behind the January 6 insurrection and other juicy tidbits about our recent political past!

Kamala Harris

There are many interesting things about this chart which I will explore as we go forth. Today, I want to explore the commonality she has with Donald Trump. Yes, I said that. Both Harris and Trump share a South Node in Sagittarius. His is in the 4th house – hence his attachment to his family – hers is in 7 – making her a more socialized person.

People going from Sagittarius South are going to a Gemini North Node. Their major lesson to learn is to give up the fact that they know they are the smartest kid in the class and can’t learn from anyone about anything. Sagittarians ground in their knowledge – sometimes they wallow it in.

They need to let that go and open themselves up to new ways and new people that can teach them something new.

I will let you decide who your think is further along in that journey.

Inauguration Day

We are all shellshocked from the attempted insurrection of Jan 6, 2021. Many have asked about the astrology of Inauguration Day. Well, the good news we have a very strong Aquarian presence in the 10th house. This is the house of government and authority and we can see this fresh air of Aquarius blowing through that house.

The one sign of trouble still resides in Mars and Uranus. They will still be in a very tight conjunction – 6 degrees Taurus and tucked away in the 12th house, which the ancients saw as a house of secret enemies. Mars is war and Uranus (at his worst) is disruption. Fortunately, Uranus is no longer retrograded so that is also good.

I would recommend that law enforcement look for the unexpected – soft targets that might not be in DC and look for someone “on the inside” who could turn.

Pluto obviously still wants us to clear out more of our secrets and mistakes from the past… let’s get moving.

Not a Good Idea To Go Into DC this week.

January 6, 2021 – the date of the big “stop the steal” or whatever it is being called now, march in Washington, DC. As you can see Mars and Uranus are very close to one another in the second house – that of values! They are out of sign (meaning one is in Aries and one in Taurus) but they are too close for comfort for me. Mars is the god of War and Uranus, trickster and quixotic, likes nothing more to throw a match on a tinder.

The Saturn/Jupiter conjunction in the 11th house – that which brings people together for social causes – adds to the potential fire. Those who think they can counter the marches will be doing no good by antagonizing anyone.

Stars do not command us to act in any manner – we all have free will. I suggest everyone use it and stay away. This is not a time to fuel any flames… of any kind
