Planetary snapshot
In 2021, Saturn will remain in your 6th house of Capricorn which represents work environment, debt, enemies and confidence. Rahu (North node of moon) will transit your 10th house of career; Ketu (south node of the moon) will be in the 4th house of Scorpio to do with mental peace, family and property. Jupiter will come out of its sign of debilitation on 5th April and move away from your 6th house and into your 7th house of marriage, relationships and business partnerships. It will then move back to your 6th house of Capricorn in September 14th where it is again debilitated; it then will make its third and final transit of this year back into Aquarius your 7th house, on the 20th November.
Mars is lord of your 4th and 9th house of family, property and good luck. It is also the yogakaraka (lucky planet) for Leo signs and therefore you may be adversely impacted during its debilitation when it dips into the sign of Cancer between 2nd June to 20th July. This can be a period where frustration is high and anger needs to managed, step back, make time for yourself. Whenever Mars is in a tricky place, you will feel like just hiding under your duvet to pass the time. This isn’t such a bad thing, lie low until you are ready to face the world again. Do not make any property investment decisions or buy any new car in this period.
Mercury retrogrades thrice this year. As mercury rules the income sectors in your chart, try not to get lazy with regards to any projects or contracts you are working on. You may have financial setbacks in this period, or have to revisit plans. Try to be calm but avoid shortcuts, they will only come back to bite you in the backside. So invest the necessary time and due diligence from the onset of key ventures this year. Key periods to watch out for mercury retrograde are: Jan 30th- Feb 21st, May 29th – June 22nd, sept 27th – Oct 18th, and the mercury debilitation when it will be in Pisces your 12th house (31st March – 16th April).
Venus will be closely associated with the Sun and therefore ‘combust’ or ‘ast’ between the Jan 25th – April 23rd. As Venus is the lord of your 3rd and 10th house, you will feel as if you need more recognition at work. Make sure that it’s not just your alter ego that wants to be satisfied. In other words make sure you are wanting recognition for the right reasons and work towards truly deserving this. This also applies for the period between 11th Aug – 15th Sept when Venus is debilitated in Virgo.
Career & Finance
Career/ job is going to need some attention this year. With Rahu (North node of the moon) transiting your career zone, there are high chances of having some issues in the workplace. This could either be because you are not happy where you are and feel you deserve more, or it could be due to colleagues / managers undermining you. If you are a business owner, then you may have one or more employee that is proving to be a challenge. Try to be diplomatic and follow the rules to avoid getting slated with false allegations. Maintain good relationships with others and don’t rock the boat, even though it’s hard for you to walk away, try to keep the ego in the back pocket and think with your logical mind. With Saturn being in the 6th house of enemies, you will be able to overcome any underhandedness. There is a risk of either a loss or change of job. For those who own businesses, it will be a mixed year with fluctuations in earnings, but keep your energy flowing. Be confident and maintain the hard work, you will get rewarded towards the end of the year.
Financial condition is mixed with fluctuations in earnings. There are chances of investing in property but it may need further expenditures to bring it up to the standard required. Carry out the right due diligence, to avoid things coming out of the woodworks, important matters can be delayed.
Relationships
You will feel a closer bond to your partner this year. It is a time for rebuilding and remembering the goodness in your relationship. There is a chance of an addition to the family, and this will be a positive time. However when it comes to the wider family, you may find you are reserving an unintentional distance. Try not to appear too far away and do put efforts with family. Sometimes you will have feeling that others don’t value you, but be aware that this could be just due to your own perceptions at this time, as Ketu (south node of the moon) in the 4th house of family can create illusions. It can make you feel restless. Meditation and spiritual practices will help you maintain a peaceful mind this year.

Hormonal imbalances can cause concern in the coming year. You may find it beneficial to alter your diet and lifestyle using a more holistic approach. Jupiter and Saturn combination can cause you to have issues with abdominal complaints in the first part of the year up until end of March. This year you may have to pay more attention to your weight, as Jupiter planet of expansion will be looking directly at your sign from the start of April, you may have a new found love for eating sugary carbs.
Education

However the year starts with Sun and Mercury forming a Budh-aditya yoga in your house of education which means you have the power to learn and grasp things very quickly and this will prove beneficial. You will get even better results from April onwards when Jupiter gains strength and moves out of your 6th house. You will have more motivation and success providing you put in the groundwork. You are competitive, be sure to keep this mindset between June and end of July when Mars will be debilitated, this can temporarily disturb your focus if you let it , so be disciplined and structured and you will be successful.
