It’s a new year, and many of us are more than ready for new prospects. To help guide you and offer some celestial insight, astrologer Georgia Nicols presents her outlook for 2021.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Job and career: This is the best year for you to improve your job or get a better job in over a decade. You can get a promotion, better duties or working environment in your existing job or find a new one. This is because you are confident and full of positive energy. Believe in yourself.

Relationships: This year you have a more positive attitude about yourself because you feel healthier and more invigorated and enthusiastic about life. By extension, this makes you more attractive to others and promotes romance and warm friendships with everyone.

Home and family: Home and family life will improve this year because you have more energy to devote to others. Why do you have more energy? Because your health will improve this year. You feel vigorous and confident, which will affect everyone at home in a positive way.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Job and career: The year 2021 is significant because from 2005 up to today has been a steady progression of growth, and since 2018, you’ve been busting your buns. This year is a big change. Your focus will swing to your external world. You’re starting to believe in yourself, which is a good thing, because three years from now, your reputation will shine.

Relationships: Your love life is a mixed bag this year. Some relationships will end because they have outlived their usefulness. Yet ironically, this is the best year for Leos to get married in over a decade.

Home and family: Your most challenging area will be with spouses and partners. Some partnerships will end. However, the relationships that are meant to last will endure. It’s important to live up to agreements.

CANCER

June 21-July 22

Job and career: This year, your focus is on shared property, inheritances, insurance and the wealth of others, including possible disputes. It’s an excellent year to get a loan or mortgage, or raise money for a business. It’s also an excellent time to enter into a professional relationship with someone, because this person will bring assets or money to the table.

Relationships: This is a passionate time for you. The most important thing to know about this year is that your relations with others will improve your life. Be open to connecting and being generous to others. Be open to receiving generosity from others.

Home and family: This is a fortunate year because you and your family will benefit from the wealth of others. You might receive an inheritance or the opportunity to use something that someone else owns. Also, you will more easily get a mortgage to buy, expand or improve your home.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

Job and career: This year is all about getting performance-ready for 2022 because that’s when you will shine. Get training or further education. Become more technologically savvy. Because your creative potential is enormous right now, you can accomplish a lot.

Relationships: This is a wonderful year for relationships, especially romance. You want to broaden your understanding of the world, which is why people from different backgrounds will intrigue you. Even your sense of humor is sharper this year.

Home and family: Many of you will enjoy physical activity or athletics this year, perhaps with a family member. A daily jog together? A shared bike ride? In addition, because you feel more financially secure, you might buy fun goodies that boost family relations by introducing shared leisure for everyone.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Job and career: Saturn and Jupiter at the top of your chart spells success. You clearly see what is working and what is not. Many will get a promotion or public recognition. Some will change their career to medicine, healing, the law, higher education or travel. Go for the gold.

Relationships: Success is sexy. Because you are enjoying one of the most successful years in your life, this naturally makes you more appealing to new and existing partners. This year, you feel confident and proud of your success, which makes you even more attractive to everyone.

Home and family: Everything will go smoothly this year, mainly because this is a successful year for you. But sometimes parents are absent because of worldly success. Be aware of this. Make sure you create time for loved ones.

ARIES

March 21-April 19

Job and career: With little effort this year, you will move in the direction you want; bosses and VIPs will help you. In the past three years, Saturn created obstacles for you; but this year, Saturn will give you the stability and perseverance to attain your goals, while Jupiter will promote your popularity.

Relationships: You will be more active with groups this year. Plus, friends and new contacts will benefit you. Because this is a two-way street, you will help friends and romantic partners as well. Note: The more effort you put into helping others, the greater the improvement in the quality of your own life.

Home and family: This will be a better year simply because you’re happier. You intend to take time for yourself (personally) to protect your own quality of life instead of giving everything to your job or the community. This, too, will benefit your relations with family and loved ones.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Job and career: For the first time since 2001-2003, Saturn is in your fellow Air Sign giving you support. (Think back to what you accomplished then.) Because Jupiter will help your Libran Sun, this is a good year for finances. You might spend more, but you will also attract money. You will produce a lot through hard work.

Relationships: This is one of the best years in over a decade for romance, love affairs and fun relationships because you have the courage to be yourself without fear or apology. This year brings opportunities for growth and increased wisdom. Romantically, you might become involved with someone from a different background.

Home and family: At the beginning of this year, you will work to strengthen situations at home, including home repairs. Children could be an increased responsibility; and at the same time, you will also discover greater joy through your kids this year.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Job and career: This year you can make money through real-estate speculation, or selling and buying your own home. You might join with family members to boost earnings or create a family-owned business. Get your ducks in a row.

Relationships: Romance will be wonderful in May, June and July because Jupiter is in your fellow Water Sign. New relationships might come through a family introduction. You are a passionate, playful sign, but you’re no fool. From now until 2023, the relationships that will appeal are those that offer a promising future with emotional and practical security.

Home and family: This is where your good fortune shines. This year you will improve where you live by renovating or redecorating; or you will move to something better or bigger. This is one of the best years in over a decade to make money through real estate. Meanwhile, family members will be happier and more generous to each other.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Job and career: You are in a two-year window where you might change your job or residence. Fortunately, people in power will help you. You might get advanced training or do writing and research. Your everyday mental patterns and attitudes will change, which affect how you talk and listen. You will be more optimistic and believe in your future this year.

Relationships: Because this year is easier, relations will flow more smoothly. Nevertheless, they will undergo a change because your style of communicating is changing. You will get closer to the truth of how important your relationships are to you; however, you might see that some relationships are not what you thought they were.

Home and family: Relations with family members will improve. You might change residences this year or next. Therefore, it’s good to know that next year, 2022, is one of the best years in over a decade to benefit from home and real estate. (Some of you might move twice.)

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Job and career: This year you will get richer. You will find a better-­paying job or increase your wealth, but you will work hard for what you achieve. (Ironically, you might feel financially insecure even if you aren’t.) This year is also easier because the difficult influences of 2020 are gone.

Relationships: All your relationships will improve this year because you feel less stressed. This will be like a weight lifting off your shoulders. You will be more gracious and grateful — especially to those closest to you. Your self-image and confidence will grow.

Home and family: We all put on our “game face” in public because we want to make the best impression possible. This is why we often treat strangers better than our loved ones. But this year, you will be happier. When you are happier, relations with family members improve. Joy is always contagious.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Job and career: This year is one of the best years for Aquarius in over a decade because lucky Jupiter is in your sign. Expect to initiate new projects, expand your activities and pursue new studies. You will attract helpful people and resources to you. You’re entering a new world.

Relationships: With Jupiter in your sign, not only will romance and friendships improve, but you will be more active in groups and organizations as well. People will want you on their team. Your relations with others will benefit you, so be friendly.

Home and family: The past two years have been the dark night of the soul for you. Many of you have downsized and given up much. This year is your turning point, which will be obvious in the increased happiness and hope in your personal and domestic world. You have survived.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Job and career: You are starting to dismantle much of what you have created since 2008 in order to get rid of what is no longer relevant or useful in your life. In May, June and July, you will get a boost of good fortune and optimism. The changes you make this year will lead to a better financial year in 2022.

Relationships: This year, you are giving serious thought to friendships and romantic partnerships because you want to be involved with people who have your back and who benefit you. This is why you will find yourself saying goodbye not only to possessions and places but also to certain people. It’s time to put yourself first.

Home and family: You might change your residence this year. Important family connections will endure because you will protect them, but you no longer will give energy to something that has outlived its usefulness.
