Aries Horoscope For January 2021
21 March –
20 April

Do all you can to expand your contacts and casual acquaintances and to cultivate new friendships, for this area of your chart will help you the most in 2021. It is also the area that will give you the opportunity to display your greatest personal growth.


Ever since Saturn entered your fame and honors tenth house sector in December 2017, you’ve been singularly focused on getting ahead in your career. Now, for all that hard work you’ve put in during the past three years, you will start to see the fruits from your labors.

Over those years, you were given the opportunity to show VIPs what you could handle, and you sensed, correctly, that you had a rare chance to move ahead of the pack. The pressure on you to measure up has been relentless. Now, your three-year series of tests are over. Taskmaster Saturn, the source of many of your challenges, will not be back to this place in your chart until 2047.

The good news is that Saturn leaves a gift by the door as he departs as a reward for dealing with his rigorous course of training. Your reward is due just after this month’s new moon, January 12. Look at the days that follow, and stay alert for signs that you are about to rocket skyward professionally. Keep in mind that a new moon is active for months but is strongest just after it appears.

Now that you have proven your experience, judgment, and skills, with the move of Jupiter and Saturn to your eleventh house of social activity, hopes, and wishes, do all you can to expand your contacts and casual acquaintances and to cultivate new friendships, for this area of your chart will help you the most in 2021. It is also the area that will give you the opportunity to display your greatest personal growth.

Your friends—both old ones and new ones that are about to enter your life—will have a larger than usual role to play in your life in the coming year. On January 28, you will have the Luckiest Day of the Year, when the Sun and Jupiter conjoin in Aquarius, a sign that blends beautifully with yours. A friend could easily go out of his or her way and do something extraordinary for you.

Now let’s turn to your finances. Get ready to spend more money than usual, now that Mars is moving into your second house of earnings from January 6 to March 3. This is the first time in two years that you’ve hosted Mars in this sector. Due to the important full moon of last month on December 29, you may be spending more on your living space. You may want to buy or rent property, renovate, repair, or decorate, or conversely, you may want to help a parent financially.

This recent full moon, December 29, brought your home and family into focus—a decision seems to have been made, and you are ready to get started. When Mars meets up with Uranus on January 20, you may get a large expense you never anticipated, or you might receive a check you never saw coming, and you’ll be thrilled. It is the nature of Uranus to bring news that is unexpected, and it is always something you never consider in the realm of possibility. Since things could go either way, you might want to be conservative in how you handle your money this month until you can see the lay of the land. As said, you could perhaps get a large bill or, as an example of the extreme, win the lottery—there’s no telling which type of news you would get. To protect your downside, be careful.

A perfect day to make a presentation, to land a big sale, or to be approved for a generous raise will be on January 9 when Mars in your second house of money will send a golden beam to Venus in your tenth house of professional achievement. Venus’ presence there practically guarantees that you will be the favorite of VIPs and can practically do no wrong. January 9 is a Saturday, but you will feel this splendid aspect growing the day before on Friday, January 8, a good day to use.

Monday, January 11, will be an outstanding day too, when Jupiter will combine forces with Mercury. That day is superb for having a Zoom interview. Saturn is orbiting next to Mercury and Jupiter, so any plan or proposal you agree to will come with considerable responsibility and power. You also will likely be in the position you take this month for a long time, giving your life stability and continuity.

Your friends, acquaintances, and new contacts will enter your life to broaden your perspective and energize your intellectual conversations. New people you encounter may even encourage you to volunteer for a humanitarian, charitable, or political cause. Working toward a goal with like-minded people will be fun for you, even if you can only give a little time on weekends. After being shuttered during this vengeful, deadly pandemic, we will all venture out to see the damage. Governments around the world (including the US) won’t have any more stimulus money, so it will fall to individuals, charities, and humanitarian campaigns and activities to help those who are suffering.

The end of the month sparkles for breathtaking romance. A full moon building speed over January 28 will light your fifth house of true love. If you are dating, you may hear the words you’ve dreamed of hearing—a confession of love, an invitation to live together, or best of all, a proposal for marriage.

If you have not been dating, an introduction arranged by a friend could make all the difference in your romantic life at month’s end. This full moon comes on the same day as the Luckiest Day of the Year, when Jupiter, planet of good fortune and happiness, will meet the mighty Sun in your eleventh house of hopes and wishes. The full moon will partner will Jupiter to make this moment a landmark in your timeline. If you are attached, a baby may be on the way. If you would like to pour this energy into your artistic expression, do it! (These are not mutually exclusive opportunities—you could have luck in all realms I have listed.)

No matter what your marital status, use this full moon, January 28, plus or minus four days, to find joy in life. This full moon falls on a Thursday, and its scintillating energy will carry you through the weekend, January 30-31. It should be an extraordinary time. At the very least, plan a romantic dinner for two at home that you both cook up together. Be happy, dear Aries. Finally, you have an entire crowd of planets working hard to see you enjoy life.

Taurus Horoscope For January 2021
20 April –
21 May

Your Mars-in-Taurus period, from January 6 to March 3, will carry you forward two years and possibly much longer. Your passion for a goal will galvanize others to you. They will want to follow and support you—and hope some of your glitter falls on them, too.


As a Taurus, you are known to be patient, and now that calm tenor will pay off. Mars, the action planet, will start the New Year off like a rocket, for Mars is due to enter Taurus on January 6 and remain until March 3. This is the first time in two years you’ve had the privilege of Mars to yourself, so use this month before Mercury, planet of communication, commerce, and agreements, goes retrograde, January 30 to February 20.

Mars in Taurus will give you courage and drive, and it’s an excellent time to present ideas to influential people who you know can help you forge ahead. This month you will be starting a new, energetic two-year cycle on January 6 and the weeks that follow. The cosmos will give you all you’ll need to become a star. The initiations and decisions you make during your Mars-in-Taurus period, from January 6 to March 3, will carry you forward two years and possibly much longer. Your passion for a goal will galvanize others to you. They will want to follow and support you—and hope some of your glitter falls on them, too. While not every one of your new ventures will succeed, most will, so choose carefully but stay optimistic.

When you launch, or cement, your new venture or relationship, be sure to allow a space of as many days before you reach January 30. It is never wise to continue to have meetings and to make deals within seven to ten days prior to the turn of Mercury retrograde. If you need a new computer, smart phone, or other electronic device, buy it early in January, perhaps using some of the holiday cash you were given by kind relatives.

It’s a shiny New Year, and you can’t wait to get started assessing your array of opportunities. Your two houses of travel will be beckoning, and while you’d love to pack and go, be careful. You may be tired of the coronavirus, but the virus isn’t tired of you. Its job is to infect as many people as possible as it is nature’s way of population control. You need not be a victim.

Instead of traveling, develop your contacts at a distance and work together over the phone and email. Investigate new media—your chart is giving you an open path to see strong progress. You might also consider writing a book or a monthly column on the Internet, or you may start a podcast.

Some Taurus natives will reconsider their vocation and are wondering if it would be wise to return to university to earn a graduate degree. When mulling this thought over, it may help to know that next month you are about to enter the most dazzling career period you’ve ever seen. In addition to having good-fortune Jupiter and teacher planet Saturn in your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement, they will be joined by your ruler Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and new moon all huddled together for a rare and powerful visit in your career house on February 11. A new moon is not powerful for just a day—it can affect you for six months to come. The days that follow should bring quite a career breakthrough.

You will get a hint of what’s to come on the Luckiest Day of the Year—a day when Jupiter meets with the Sun—January 28 in your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement. Saturn will accompany Jupiter and the Sun, so any position you take will be weighty. You will be aware of the ample responsibility that rests on your shoulders when you interview—and later when you eventually win your new role. You have most of the solar system in your professional corner rooting you on, and you’ve never had support like this before.

At the full moon January 28, you may move or make substantial changes to your living situation. You may already know you are moving up in your career and will be relocating to live closer to your new company, or you may now feel you can upgrade your standard of living. No matter which it is, you have so much to be excited about.

With Mars conjunct Uranus in the second half of January, you may be making substantial changes in your life, breaking with your old routine, and setting a completely new path. This is all so exciting! I bet you can’t wait to get started!
