Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
January 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
January is strong for observing, strategizing, and connecting with your inner world, dear Aquarius. As it advances, however, you come out of your shell and crave more interaction. The first half of January (at least) is strong for rest and regeneration.
Home and family life can be busy, animated, and energetic from the 6th forward. Tension might emerge, but treat it as the chance to take care of problems once and for all. Mars heats up your personal life and domestic world until early March. While exciting for getting things done around the home, you can sometimes feel that your desires are working against you or that you're at odds with others during this cycle. You can make this transit work for you with some creativity, however. The trick is to pour excess energy into constructive projects and take a good look at how you're expressing (or bottling) anger. Increased self-awareness can lead to solutions and improvements.
Don't discount a bit of a self-centered streak now since, in a healthy dose, it can be beneficial. There can be a strong urge to handle problem areas in and around the home or with family, and the chances of making some super improvements are high.
While Mercury moves into your sign on the 8th, increasing your desire to be heard, Venus moves into your privacy sector on the same day. While communicative, you'll find some pleasure and comfort in extra rest, relaxation, or retreat. There can be a greater love of private moments or a focus on the past.
You can experience a rush of confidence to take action on a personal matter or to put something behind you--your inner courage is strong. You could be providing a service or volunteering your help to someone. Finding ways to make peace with the past, freeing you up for exciting times to come, can figure strongly. You can have a real sense of satisfaction, particularly regarding a relationship or a private matter.
It's generally a time for keeping a lower profile and working on concrete, long-term goals. You'll be tending to those things you've left unfinished or neglected – matters that suddenly become pressing at this time.
After the New Moon on the 13th, circumstances favor or require a new start with how you do your downtime. You're looking at mental health, rest, relaxation, and escapism in new ways. There can be events and realizations that help distance you from self-limiting secrets or situations, and this ultimately gives you more freedom.
The next day, your ruler, Uranus, turns direct after several months of retrograde motion. Even if you're a little slow to engage fully in January, you're blossoming as the month advances.
The urge to break free from limiting situations in your life is strong, but they could clash with your needs for security and familiarity. Obligations to family or insecurities arising from disruptions on the home front interfere at times with your strongly independent streak. Try not to instigate change just for the sake of change, and avoid rash behavior.
There can be strong opportunities to learn, teach, and communicate with special appeal and effectiveness this month. Romance, creativity, and self-expression are in strong favor.
Around the Full Moon on the 28th, you recognize your need for someone–or some quality feedback! Through epiphanies occurring now, you're awakening to your relationship goals or your true feelings on a matter—these guide you to make changes.
Jupiter only recently entered your sign, and you are making your own opportunities by putting more faith in yourself and your capabilities. Look for opportunities to expand, improve, and grow. You feel considerably more optimistic and can more readily get others on-board for ventures you're considering. Ideas for future projects can be golden, so pay attention. While it's generally a good time for growing something, whether it's a relationship, project, or business, Mercury turns retrograde in your sign on the 30th, and you may need to observe a while longer before pushing forward. Some personal plans may stall or appear to move backward when, in fact, they can benefit from a review.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
January 2021 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until January 19th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From January 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until January 7th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
From January 8th forward:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
From January 8th forward:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 6th:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
From the 7th forward:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:
January 2021 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 16th:

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:
January 2021 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until January 9th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From January 10th forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries.

Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until January 24th:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
From January 24th forward:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From the 2nd to 21st:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
From the 21st forward:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.

The urge to break free from limiting situations in your life is strong, but they could clash with your needs for security and familiarity. Obligations to family or insecurities arising from disruptions on the home front interfere at times with your strongly independent streak. Try not to instigate change just for the sake of change, and avoid rash behavior.
There can be strong opportunities to learn, teach, and communicate with special appeal and effectiveness this month. Romance, creativity, and self-expression are in strong favor.
Around the Full Moon on the 28th, you recognize your need for someone–or some quality feedback! Through epiphanies occurring now, you're awakening to your relationship goals or your true feelings on a matter—these guide you to make changes.
Jupiter only recently entered your sign, and you are making your own opportunities by putting more faith in yourself and your capabilities. Look for opportunities to expand, improve, and grow. You feel considerably more optimistic and can more readily get others on-board for ventures you're considering. Ideas for future projects can be golden, so pay attention. While it's generally a good time for growing something, whether it's a relationship, project, or business, Mercury turns retrograde in your sign on the 30th, and you may need to observe a while longer before pushing forward. Some personal plans may stall or appear to move backward when, in fact, they can benefit from a review.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
