Welcome to the Age of Aquarius

Outside of the catchy tune by The 5th Dimension, have you ever heard of this transformative time? The end of 2020 brought us to the conclusion of an age, and now we welcome the next. It takes about 2,160 years for the planet to shift to a new astrological "age", when the Earth's rotation moves into a new zodiac sign. We are exiting a long stay in Pisces (a water sign known for "waves" of emotion, constant change, and breaking barriers), and entering into Aquarius, an air sign (more on that in a moment).
On top of the new age we are entering into, Saturn (the planet of "karma", governing systems, and responsibility) and Jupiter (the planet of growth, healing, expansion, and prosperity) conjunct, or "line up", for the first time in 200 years. They will stay here for two decades ushering in an enormous shift in global consciousness. This makes it a powerful time to imagine the world beyond what it is now, and with the added benefit of Aquarius energy, a time to easily manifest that vision.
Since we will be largely influenced by Aquarius "vibes" for the remainder of our lifetimes, here are a few positive ways to use this energy toward reaching our highest potential (individually and as a collective!)
Connection & Technology
The Aquarian zodiac traditionally represents originality and can catalyze innovation and creativity. With so many incredible modern advancements in technology, we can tap into this time of novelty even further by sharing our epiphanies, seemingly instantaneously.
Self Expression
Now is the perfect time to release "should-ing" and get more aligned with your soul! Release any commitments that you feel you "should" be doing and no longer resonate with who you truly are. Wanting to dive deeper into self discovery? Use these questions as journal prompts:
*What do I believe or no longer believe?
*How can I contribute my visions to raise my (and the collective) vibration?
*What does it mean to me to "live in my highest potential"?
Feel Joy
What lights you up? Do more of that! Now is a pivotal time to stay in your highest frequency (one of acceptance, peace and love) and leave behind lower frequency emotions (like guilt, shame, anger, and fear). One of the simplest ways to raise your personal vibration is by practicing gratitude. Pause for a moment; what are you grateful for right now?
Here is a short clip explaining emotional frequencies if this is a new concept to you:
Expect change at rapid speeds for yourself and globally while in the air sign of Aquarius. 2021 promises to be a fast moving year so be sure to stay grounded. Incorporating daily grounding practices (such as journaling, breathing techniques, meditation and yoga) can help anchor your energy. There are a number of planetary conjunctions along with three eclipse seasons this year that will all play a role (energetically) as well, but I will save that for my next astrology forecast ;)
