Shevat 5781
Jan. 14-Feb. 11, 2021
The doorway to the Aquarian Age swung open at the Jupiter/Tzedek conjunction to Saturn/Shabbatai on
Tekufah Tevet, the Winter Solstice, in the sign of Aquarius/D’li. Now comes the month of Shevat, ruler of Aquarius itself, modeling revolution with Uranus/Oron stationing direct Jan. 14 at the Sun’s conjunction with Pluto. Powerful social earthquakes remake the landscape with lightning speed. Jupiter in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus/Shor Jan. 17, priming the pump for identity crises, both personal and collective, and a sea change in the direction of established institutions. We are receiving revolutionary understandings of ourselves in the context of our various affinity groups because of the tremendous social stressors we’re all enduring. “I get by with a little help from my friends” is the theme song of this month indeed, the anthem of all of 2021.
Tevet 5781
Dec. 16, 2020-Jan. 13, 2021
The “great conjunction” of Jupiter/Tzedek and Saturn/Shabbatai, which has been in the news lately, has special meaning in Jewish astrological thought. This cosmic convergence, in which Jupiter and Saturn appear almost on top of each other in the night sky, has long been a focus of Jewish messianic speculation.
The conjunction takes place in the zodiac sign of Aquarius/D’li on Dec. 21, 2020 (6th of Tevet, 5781), the day of the winter solstice, for the first time since the year 1405. This is significant because of the special relationship of both the planet Saturn and the constellation Aquarius to the Jewish people, and the belief that this event heralds the advent of political and social change perhaps the emergence of a new dynasty, nation or a great prophet. There is no more important celestial event in our lifetimes, part of the inexorable movement toward an Aquarian Age.
