Aspects for the week beginning 27 December 2020
2021
Welcome to the year 2021: A very much welcome new start. We hope that it will be a year of recovery and progress. It will certainly have a different feel to 2020, with an emphasis on Aquarius after the Capricornian emphasis of the previous year. The challenging aspect this year is the square between Saturn and Uranus: a battle between the old and the new, so great adjustments to be made.
If you want to start working with the aspects from now, here is a guide to some of the major astrological events coming up.

Aspects
Happy New Year everyone! Hope you can use the above calendar to your advantage.
Tomorrow (Monday 28 December) the Sun trines Uranus, which is a hopeful influence. That may bring an unexpected go ahead to forge on with innovative plans and original creativity.
There is then a build up to the Full Moon at 8 degrees Cancer on Wednesday 30th. This is one of the most emotional full moons of the year…time to watch that weepie movie on TV! The Moon in Cancer opposing the Sun in Capricorn may lead you to reflect on your work-life balance, ahead of the new working year.
We also have a square between Venus and Neptune the same day, which may complicate matters emotionally. You may need to distinguish between reality and illusion in relationships, and also sift out the paranoia. And it may also be helpful to distinguish between the issues of the Full Moon, and the square between the planets, as they may merge into overwhelm. Looking at them with more clarity and discernment will help deal with them.
The first aspect of the year, on Friday 1st January, is a helpful sextile between Mercury and Neptune, which will assist you in focussing your mind and spirit on the year ahead, your New Year’s Resolutions (if any), creative visualizations and affirmations. Our minds will be able to receive higher guidance more easily on that day. Delicate conversations and channelling will also be made easier.
The week in bullet points:
- Tomorrow – sparkling clarity
- Wednesday – emotional high tide and relationship confusion
- Friday – mind and spirit working in harmony

Dear Lana,
I feel you have once again given us such a feast of information, opportunity for reflection and planning in awareness- as much as anything can be planned!
As the year draws to a close I wanted to say how steadying I have found it to navigate by the stars and your wise interpretations of the aspects.
Good wishes to all for the coming year and again many thanks for your hard work.
Love, Yaz

Dear Yaz
Thank you for your comment, and heartfelt thanks to you and Sarah and others who have kindly commented throughout the year, supporting the blog.
It is still registered as No. 4 in U.K. Astrology blogs, so it does have a good readership, though not too visible or voluble!
A Happy New Year to you and all my readers,
Love
Lana
