December 2020 – The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The 2 largest planets in our solar system move into Aquarius (a sign of equality, new technology and invention) in December. Saturn moves into Aquarius on December 17th and then Jupiter moves into Aquarius on December 19th. They will both be in Aquarius for 2021 Aquarius is the sign that is associated with groups. It’s going to be a new world where our social contract is with technology and revolution. The ancient astrologers said Saturn rules Aquarius because Saturn is the planet of social systems and government.
Now I’m going to explain the meaning of Aquarius because it influences a very mysterious expression of Saturn, and so many planets are going to be in this sign for 2021.
In order to understand the deeper meaning of any sign in astrology, we can look to its opposite sign in the Zodiac because this axis represents a continuum rather than a duality. This concept is similar to the notion of the unity of opposites, which has been assimilated into modern interpretation of the uniting of opposites. Opposites defines the existence of something is depending on the presence of two conditions which oppose each other yet are dependent on one another within a field of tension. As an astrologer I can’t think of a better way of describing an opposition aspect.
So, the sign opposite Aquarius is Leo which is ruled by the Sun. Both the Sun and Saturn are the Alpha and Omega of our visible universe. The sun is the center of our solar system, and Saturn is the last planet, you can see with the naked eye.
Now, these two signs have contrasting meanings in the same way that all opposition’s do. Leo is about individualism and represents a king or some other singular authority. Aquarius is more democratic since it’s about following the authority of the collective instead of one ruler. Aquarius is about stepping out of the spotlight as an individual in favor of finding your identity within a group.
There’s another important thing to understand about the esoteric meaning of Aquarius. Aquarius is a sign that tells us that we need to give up some of our individual freedoms in order to gain greater social freedom.
For example, we all have to pay taxes. However if we didn’t pay taxes, there would be no government funding for the military, and that would mean that our country couldn’t defend itself. and then we’d always live under the threat of invasion. I’ll give you another example, following the rules when you drive is really annoying especially when there’s lots of traffic and you just want to drive in the shoulder lane or park on the sidewalk. If everyone did that then there’d be so much chaos on the roads and no one would be able to get anywhere and that would impact greater systems of trade and distribution. My point is that even if laws, taxes and limitations imposed on us by the government and society can be very difficult sometimes. if we lived in a world without these things then there would be much social disorder and weak infrastructure and it would be impossible to open a business or even leave your home safely. Sometimes giving up a few little freedoms can lead to greater social stability. This could give us more freedom in the long run. And this is the higher meaning of Aquarius, its freedom with stability and structure.
With all the emphasis on Aquarius in 2021, we can expect to see more divisive and tribalistic politics with more protests and calls for social reform and greater legislative changes because both Saturn and Jupiter rule law in sort of different capacities.
Technology may also expand and retract at the same time, perhaps becoming a more integrated part of our lives while also being more regulated and possibly even broken as Saturn will square Uranus and will be exact in February, June and December of 2021. The last time this aspect happened was in 1999 and in early 2000.
Thank you for all your continued support!
