The Astrology of 2021 (And The Events of January 6)

As I always say, the planets don’t give a fu er, “hoot”, about how we keep track of time on Earth.

Astrologically, the start of a new week/month/year doesn’t have special significance. It’s the dates of specific planetary configurations that we care about.

Last year, we experienced three crucial astrological events on five specific dates (one reason why it was such a… unique year!):

January 12: Saturn-Pluto conjunction
April 5: Jupiter-Pluto conjunction (first pass)
June 30: Jupiter-Pluto conjunction (second pass)
November 12: Jupiter-Pluto conjunction (third pass)
December 21: Jupiter-Saturn conjunction.

Astrologically speaking, 2020 ‘started’ on January 12 and ‘ended’ on December 21. That’s almost equivalent to a calendar year. But, some years, we don’t have an important astrological event until April or May. And, that one event may be at play until June or July of the following year. So, a calendar year is not always the most accurate way to track astrological phenomena.

As an earthling, I nevertheless understand the symbolism of beginning a new year. So, in this post I will cover the most significant astrological influences over the next twelve months, and specify who will be most affected by them (if you have your birth chart handy, you’ll want to reference it).

I have divided this post into various sub-sections so you can read it piecemeal (and easily remember where you last left off).

The Astrology of the 2020 United States Presidential Election

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM ME TO YOU

I initially thought this post would be a two-week research and writing project. Alas, it turned out to be a twelve-week research and writing project.

If you’re expecting to skim through this post in 30 seconds while at a stoplight and find out who wins the 2020 US presidential election, you’ll be sorely disappointed.

Analyzing the astrology of a presidential election requires multiple layers of interpretation; in preparation for this post, I analyzed over twenty charts (the complete list is below).

To make it an easier read, I have divided this post into many smaller sub-headings. Reading ease aside, I also don’t expect most people to read this 8,000-word post in one sitting (with sub-headings, you can read it piecemeal and easily remember where you left off).

This has been, hands down, the most time-consuming blog post I’ve shared so far. If you find it interesting or insightful, I would be very appreciative if you shared it with anyone else who you think would appreciate this content.

Here we go.

The United States’ Birth Chart Shows A Country In Dire Need of Repair

Think back to a moment in your life when you could no longer escape a hard truth.

One that made you wince just thinking about it, but had been building for a while and continually resurfaced no matter how hard you tried to push it down.

Now, recall the exact moment when that truth could no longer be ignored or obscured. You likely felt angry, confused, deflated, hurt, pained, and shocked. But, perhaps resolute as well.

That’s what the United States is experiencing after the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020.

The current events taking place across the country are no surprise to those of us who regularly monitor the United States’ birth chart.

There are several factors at play that I want to bring you up to speed on:

Transit Jupiter conjunct the United States’ Pluto
Transit Neptune opposite the United States’ Neptune and square the United States’ Mars
Solar arc Jupiter square the United States’ Uranus
The United States’ upcoming (but currently building) first-ever Pluto return
