Mutable May, may it happen! Kicking off eclipse season and shifting planets into more adaptable positions, this month brings a willingness to see things from a different perspective. Sometimes, outdated ideas have to be completely shed like an old shell that has been outgrown before you’re able to blink away the fog and see fresh light. New inspiration requires building a new vital foundation that incorporates this vision.

This blog is from a thread that I wrote on Twitter in November 2020 about when I was sick in the beginning of 2020. I had been studying medical astrology for about six months at that point, and I used the knowledge I’d been picking up to retroactively diagnose my sickness.

Mercury is retrograde, Venus is on the move, and things are becoming a bit dreamy. Venus is doing major work slugging through Aquarius and hooking up with everyone along the way, meanwhile Saturn and Uranus are setting up their year-long showdown square. Saturn and Uranus will each move retrograde, making this the first of three exact squares during 2021 as they flirt with each other and show how shocks can be felt through changes in rules.

The first of three Mercury retrograde cycles in 2021 is here. All three of these cycles are occurring in air signs, but first this one: Mercury is retrograde in Aquarius from January 30 until February 20.

It takes time for crops to grow big enough to harvest. Intentions have to be repeated over and over and over until they become formed and fixed habits in our daily lives. January of 2021 is a time to consistently water the freshly planted seeds of our intentions for the new year.

Here is all of my collective monthly readings in 2020: from Instagram captions written in sometimes poetic nature, to the video links when I started posting to YouTube. This year shifted my perspective in serving the world, as it shifted so much in so many lives, and I’m grateful to be flowing with the waves.

As a firm believer in the healing powers of nature, all of the trees deserve a thank you for loving human beings although they often do not love trees back. Thank you, tree.
