Happy new year. Though there are a series of astrological aspects to learn from this month, you'll be delighted to learn that the upcoming year's astro-weather will be a breeze compared to this past year's. Having said that, your January 2021 monthly horoscope is taking you in a completely different direction, and with Jupiter sitting alongside Saturn in Aquarius, there's no denying the revolution that's about to take place, both individually and collectively.

As if we needed more momentum to blast off into the new year, Mars will officially leave its post-retrograde shadow in Aries on Jan. 2, which means the planet of assertion, energy, and passion will officially be back to basics after its tumultuous retrograde journey. Shortly after, the God of War will makes its celestial debut in Taurus, energizing themes revolving around finances, security, and stability. On Jan. 8, Mercury will slide into revolutionary Aquarius, which will inspire you to look at things unconventionally, and in terms of the future. That same day, Venus will slide into structured Capricorn and highlight everything from relationship foundations to financial investments.

Just in time for the new moon in Capricorn on Jan. 13, Great Awakener and cosmic rebel Uranus will finally station direct in Taurus the following day on Jan. 14. This will inspire powerful breakthroughs, especially when it comes to the planet at large. Speaking of which, Jupiter in Aquarius will square off with Uranus on Jan. 17, which perfectly embodies the definition of radical, so stay tuned.

In honor of this collective revolution, the sun will enter Aquarius on Jan. 19, which will energize themes revolving around society while simultaneously inspiring ideas of progression, innovation, and the new era you're heading into. An intensity-filled full moon will ignite the sun of Leo on Jan. 28, and from the looks of it, it will have a thing or two to do with social media. Mercury will station retrograde in Aquarius on Jan. 30, which will challenge the collective to reflect on themes revolving around community and social injustices.
