Welcome to 2021,Aquarius, and congrats onsurviving 2020.

As an intellectual air sign, you used your brain venture to stay busy rather than sink into despair.

You may have found yourself busy organizing virtual family get-togethers oranti-racismfundraisers.

While both are honorable tasks, you must be exhausted.

It’s likely that you may be in need of a little care and attention yourself these days.

Remind your friends and family that it’s your birthday, but let them do the work.

Your ruling planet, independent Uranus, will be in Taurus all year andyour 4th Houseof Home and Family.

So what does that mean for you?

Practice clearly stating your needs and using your backbone so that you don’t back down.

While this can sometimes be true, there’s another part to you that’s overlooked.

Often, the person you neglect the most isn’t your partneror best friend, but yourself.

You deserve the attention!

Practice clearly stating your needs and using your backbone so that you don’t back down.

There are threeMercury retrogradesthis year for you to take note of.

The first is in your sign fromSaturday, January 30toSaturday, February 20.

Don’t let them.

It can be harder to accept love than criticism, Aquarius, but remind yourself that you deserve it.

With generous Jupiter in your sign, opportunities for work and money come your way.

It would be a sin not to snatch them up in this economy.

They are the result oferecting healthy boundaries; the universe wants you to have the best friends possible.

Circle all of these dates in your calendar, Aquarius, as eclipses can bring drama and unexpected news.

That’s not always a bad thing.

Some Aquarians may get engaged around this date.

When this planet reverses its path, it can be harder to express ourselves romantically.

The House of Unconscious can also indicate a retreat.

However, be careful of hiding from the world (and crushes and romantic partners).

Remember Aquarius: In 2021, your rightful place is centerstage.

Enjoy the spotlight and see you next year.
