We kick off the first week of 2021 with 3 planetary changes.  Changes will be coming in smartly to kick of the Aquarian year we have in store. The tension between letting go of old structures and reinventing new, will be felt by us all. Mars the planet of action, assertion and determination moves into Taurus on Thursday 7 January 2021 NZT.  Your get up and go drive will be moving from a very energetic pace to a now 'slow and steady wins the race' kind of pace.  We have had Mars in Aries for an extremely long 6 months where tempers have been high and energy levels have been pushing us hard that some may have experienced burnout. You will notice your motivation now to be out in nature, smelling the roses, eating delicious foods and being motivated to look your best for the next 6 weeks.  Mars in Taurus is motivated by security in relationships financially and emotionally.  It really is a time to slow the pace of life and enjoy the moment.  This energy helps to sort relationship issues, values and finances.  The flip side to this energy is to watch for becoming very stubborn in getting your own way or being motivated by superficial things rather than getting amongst the more natural earthy side of life.  While Mars transits the sign of Taurus we will experience some bumpy aspects with Uranus in Taurus and Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius.  People may become more fixed in their ways, behave erratically and refuse change.  However these transits are asking us all to break free and reinvent how we are leading certain parts of our lives.  Look to your Natal chart and see where Taurus and Aquarius rules to get a more specific idea of how this transit will affect you. Feel free to reach out for a reading if you want to get a more in depth understanding how you are being affected through these transits and what else is in store for you this year.
