As your eleventh house of community gets highlighted, you’re being called to focus on one of the things you do best: network. Now more than ever, finding groups of people who share your interests can catapult you to success. But don’t forget, your goals also need to keep the greater good in mind.

Get ready for an action-packed 2021, Cancer. The keywords here are transformation, regeneration and self-mastery as Jupiter and Saturn inundate your eighth house of rebirth. Good thing you’re not a sign that fears going deep because this terrain will certainly make you stop and reflect.

You’re the only sign ruled by the mighty sun, Leo, and in 2021, that inner light is what will get you through. Wild Uranus in Taurus has been rocking your closest bonds to liberate you from pre-conceived notions about how relationships should be. And as this erratic planet and Saturn in Aquarius challenge you throughout the year, you might perceive more confrontation from those around you. The secret here lays in being more open to leaving your conform zone. Life will be moving fast, and as you will soon notice, the more you’re willing to go with the flow, the more fun you will end up having.

No one understands the power of transformation better than a Scorpio. Ruled by powerful Pluto, you know that life is a constant work in progress, and this mindset is what will get you through 2021. You see, Scorpio, what you’re about to experience is a shattering of old ways of working, thinking, loving and living. Sounds intense? It certainly is, but it's also exciting and liberating! As Jupiter and Saturn clash with Uranus in fixed signs throughout the year, you’ll be forced to think and act differently. But ultimately, these challenges will only make you stronger.

Good thing you’re always staring at the horizon, ready for the next thing. Because the year ahead is full of big, meaningful lessons for you, dear Sag. With the South Node of Destiny in your sign for most of the year, you’re learning that your approach to relationships, career and life in general, is quickly changing. And as your planetary ruler Jupiter spends most of the year in future-forward Aquarius, you’re ready to toss everything that no longer serves you. You’re a big picture kind of person, but cultivating curiosity will ultimately drive you to find what really makes you tick.

How does it feel to be the star of the show? That’s exactly what you’re about to find out! Lucky as you are, you get to be the star sign showing humanity how to move forward — and do it in a cool, progressive and innovative manner.

2021 is a great year to be a Pisces, and only the beginning of a fabulous story. With both of your rulers Jupiter and Neptune in your sign in the spring and the summer, you can manifest the life of your dreams. But to get there, you will have to keep your feet on the ground, at least some of the time. Luckily, the Nodes of Destiny in Gemini and Sagittarius will lend you a hand by keeping you accountable and reminding you that not all that glitters is gold. Keep in mind that whatever is not really in line with who you are becoming is worth letting go.
