A Re-Post: Parallels Between the Aquarius Stellium of February 1962 and the Aquarius Stellium of February 2021

As we enter 2021, the major astrological event on the horizon is a six-planet or seven-body stellium in Aquarius, including a New Moon at 23 degrees Aquarius on February 11. The energy of this stellium stretches to mid-March.

 

During the stellium, we will experience the first of three squares between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus. The first square will be exact on February 17 at 7 degrees of the signs.  

What follows is a re-post of an article that was written last Aquarius season [2020] for the anniversary of a February 4, 1962 New Moon total solar eclipse within seven-planet stellium in Aquarius. That astrological event was, at the time, heralded as the official beginning of the Aquarian Age. 

The article outlines some of the parallels between the two periods - the Aquarius stellium and New Moon in 1962 and the Aquarius stellium and New Moon in 2021.

A December 8, 2020 patron article outlines these connections further, extending them to the next large Aquarius stellium in 2080:

We're halfway through the first Aquarius season of this new decade, but the Aquarius season really drawing my attention at the moment comes in 2021 when we experience a 23-degree New Moon in Aquarius within a historic six-planet stellium that occurs with benefic planets Venus and Jupiter exactly conjunct at 12 degrees.

We start moving to that Aquarian high point at spring equinox of 2020, as Saturn ingresses Aquarius on March 21, 2020 for an initial stint in the sign that will last three-and-a-half months. The Saturn ingress is part of a broader Aquarian infusion that will be experienced between 2020 and 2023 as Saturn, then Jupiter, and finally Pluto ingress the sign of the water-bearer.

As part of that Aquarian infusion, we will experience a historic conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at zero degrees Aquarius on December 21, 2020 (winter solstice), followed by the Aquarius New Moon at 23 degrees on February 11, 2021 within six-planet stellium (Sun, Moon, Mercury Rx, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, along with asteroid Pallas Athene). As stated, benefic planets Venus and Jupiter will be exactly conjunct in Aquarius on the day of the New Moon, indicating an entry point into a powerful period of social, cultural, and philosophical change.

The six-planet stellium in Aquarius in February 2021 has parallels to a seven-planet stellium in Aquarius experienced in February 1962 that was heralded as the official beginning of the Aquarian Age. 

We are in the early years of a new decade now, as we were then, that will involve explosive social, cultural, and technological growth and change. The Aquarius stellium in 1962 included a New Moon total solar eclipse at 15 degrees Aquarius, marking a simultaneous anchoring point and launch point for the major cultural shifts experienced during the 1960s. We can view the New Moon and six-planet stellium in Aquarius in February 2021 as a similar anchoring/launching point for major cultural and societal changes in the 2020s.

An excerpt:

1962

 

February 1962: 7-planet stellium in Aquarius - click to enlarge

Sun, Moon, Mercury Rx, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and South Node of the Moon

Lesser Benefic Venus and Greater Benefic Jupiter are tightly conjunct.

This chart is the New Moon total solar eclipse at 15 degrees Aquarius on February 4, 1962. This was heralded as the beginning of the astrological Aquarian Era. We can see this as an early propulsion into stronger Aquarian energy and themes but still with a strong Piscean Era overlay.

This New Moon stellium followed the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at 25 degrees Capricorn on February 19, 1961.

 

2021

  

 February 2021: 6-planet or 7-body stellium in Aquarius - click to enlarge

Sun, Moon, Mercury Rx, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and asteroid Pallas Athene

Lesser Benefic Venus and Greater Benefic Jupiter are exactly conjunct.

This chart is for the New Moon at 23 degrees Aquarius on February 11, 2021. We can see this as an anchoring or foundational point for the astrological Aquarian Era, building on vision and energetic threads coming from the 1962 New Moon eclipse and stellium. In 2021, we have come out of the most intense “one foot in, one foot out” overlapping transition time between the astrological eras. We are now officially being established on Aquarian Era soil. The separation of the ages has occurred, but unlearned or unheeded lessons from the Piscean Era must be immediately integrated if we are to avoid problems or even full-on catastrophe.

The New Moon stellium in Aquarius on February 11, 2021 follows the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at zero degrees Aquarius on December 21, 2020. 

 

2080

 

February 2080: 8-planet stellium in Aquarius - click to enlarge 

Sun, Moon, Mercury Rx, Venus, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus

Lesser Benefic Venus and Greater Benefic Jupiter are exactly conjunct, and both bodies are in applying conjunctions to Saturn.

As you can see, with no bodies in Pisces or in water at all, the Piscean Era is moreso in the rearview mirror under the 2080 Aquarius stellium. The version of life on Earth we see here is dependent on many things, including how well we’ve protected the spiritual energy, principles, and wisdom of Earth since the Aquarius stellium of 2021. Which version of the Aquarian Era do we see in 2080: a free humanity independently meeting its own needs and fostering its own well-being, including via technological advances, or a controlled humanity with technological shackles, even merging our biological human forms with machines or other technological elements?

The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction occurs at 11 degrees Aquarius on March 15, 2080, just after the formation of this 8-planet stellium.

 

Amazingly, in all three of these large Aquarius stelliums – 1962, 2021, and 2080 – Greater Benefic Jupiter and Lesser Benefic Venus are tightly or exactly conjunct. The meeting of the benefics indicates good will in all three charts. These Aquarian threads that connect us through time, space, and location have their roots in love and benevolence toward humanity and the human community. These threads are about the importance of relationship and friendship, the importance of the social fabric as it sustains us through the eras. These threads connect those of like mind who have compatible ideas and also those of like heart who have shared love for this planet and for the living things here. These threads connect those who share a heartfelt dream for humanity and for life on this planet, people who have cherished and preserved this heartfelt dream no matter what their era. These threads are about a shared concept of human potential, as well as a willingness to create the conditions that can realize that potential.

These charts with Venus and Jupiter conjunct show a love for humanity and for all life on this planet that is timeless. They show a shared dream and a shared vision that span the eras. Anyone who has lived on this planet and loved this planet is connected at the heart. This is real love, real brotherly and sisterly love, reflected in the beautiful astrological symbology of these charts. We live, we have lived, under the same sky, connected at the heart as Venus and Jupiter conjoin brightly in the heavens. We live or have lived under these stelliums, so similar in energy and make-up. You can never step into the same river twice, but experiencing life under stelliums like these might be as close as it gets astrologically.
