This is something you cannot miss! We hope you’re ready earthlings, because as of about a week ago, we entered an Aquarius stellium! Jupiter and Saturn both moved into Aquarius mid-December 2020, and Mercury entered Aquarius on January 8th, 2021.
The Sun joins them in Aquarius in a few days on January 19th, and Venus moves into Aquarius on February 1st. The Aquarius stellium lasts until March 15th, so over two full months, and all five of these planets will be in Aquarius at the same time, February 1st to February 15th.
Okay, but what does any of that even mean?
Keep reading. We have all of the details for you and how this is going to affect your Rising sign!
The Stellium in Aquarius 2021
Jupiter and Saturn’s movement into Aquarius just about a month ago signaled some big Aquarius energy, and what does that focus on?
Change!
The natural ruling planet for Aquarius is Uranus, the planet of change, which makes Aquarius the sign of change. Helping us out, Uranus ended it is retrograde, so we can have an easier time managing change with Uranus moving forward.
Mars, the planet of energy and drive, is also now in the same sign as Uranus, Taurus, and the two will hook up next week.
This brings even more energy and drive for us to make change happen right now.
But (and a big but) Mercury will retrograde in Aquarius starting January 30th until February 20th. This might be when we have to focus on removing blocks and dealing with old issues that prevent us from creating the change we want, and then we can do it.
In the middle of that retrograde, we’ll experience a New Moon in Aquarius on February 11th, which can help us focus on the positives. We can take a second chance on a dream, restore hope, and get insights we need for change.
Last year in 2020, we had the Capricorn stellium of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn (that turned out pretty dreadful), but this year, the focus is on the Aquarius 2021 stellium, at least for now. The Capricorn stellium lasted almost the entire year for 2020, but this Aquarius stellium is only for the next couple of months.
Hopefully, that makes it less intense!
What is a Stellium?
A stellium occurs when three or more planets are together in one zodiac sign. It actually used to be that it had to be four, but it’s been adjusted to three in modern times.
There are only 10 planets (including the Sun and Moon, excluding the Earth), so having three planets in one sign means about one-third of the planets are just in one sign.
That is very concentrated energy!
That’s the main meaning of stelliums. It’s a lot of energy and focus in one place, and because there’s so much energy being funneled to one area, we must work to use it properly.
Stelliums can be squandered when they’re not being channeled into anything. Then they become exceptionally frustrating.
But when you do harness the energy and use it productively? They can be insanely potent and powerful!

Aquarius Stelliums in the Birth Chart
If you were born with a stellium in your natal chart, you have this concentrated energy personally in your life. You may find that stellium takes up a lot of your time and attention, and the areas of life it rules are significant for you.
If the stellium in your birth chart is in Aquarius, you may be someone who is always focused on the future, embraces your individuality and independence, and is an innovative, inventive mind. You can be open to change and likely need to change constantly. Otherwise, you get bored easily.
The Aquarius stellium man has to do things his own way and can be quite the rebel at times. He’s likely difficult to box in and full of brilliant, unconventional ideas.
The Aquarius stellium woman can be highly social, loving being around others and in big groups, though getting into dirty emotions may not be her thing. She can be a great humanitarian, though, and have a wider impact.
