We have sailed into the new year and now is the right time to have affirmations ready to inspire us
Affirmations are positive and encouraging words. The idea is that if you repeat them regularly – even if you don't believe them to be true at first – they can help you overcome negativity and start taking action to make them come true. Research shows that affirmations can activate the brain's reward centers and help achieve lasting changes in behavior.
Of course, this year has something different in store for each of us, but depending on your astrological sign, some things are likely to be more present. Here are the affirmations for each sign, based on the predictions of AstroTwins astrologers from mindbodygreen for 2021.
Aries
According to astrologers AstroTwins, Jupiter and Saturn have moved into Aquarius - Aries' 11th house of teamwork and technology. Fiery and independent Aries can use this energy to cultivate more camaraderie, cooperation and friendship.
Affirmation to strengthen friendship: The people I surround myself with support me and help me in my endeavors.
Bull
Taurus will be happy with the news that they have secured much more stability in 2021 than in 2020, according to AstroTwins. Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius, Taurus' 10th house of ambition, allow Taurus to turn their ideas into real, tangible goals with the addition of some much-needed structure.
Affirmation for structure and goal setting: I am based on my vision and strive to achieve it every day.
Twins
The year 2020 was emotional and could keep the Gemini Exalted from aligning with their purpose. But with the karmic North Node in Gemini in 2021, a Gemini will be incredibly motivated to fulfill their ultimate purpose, say the AstroTwins.
Affirmation for aligning with purpose: I am aligned with and worthy of my ultimate purpose.
Cancer
For Cancer, 2020 was all about balancing the relationships and connections they share with others. Now, in 2021, these bonds can deepen, allowing Cancer to make the most of its strongest bonds, the AstroTwins explain.
Affirmation for strong relationships: My relationships are balanced and empowering.
Lion
Leo is in for a year focused on relationships, so it will be extremely important to prioritize self-care. When Venus enters Capricorn, Leo's "wellness zone" on November 5, Leos will feel exhausted. Simply put, don't skimp on time for yourself!
Self-Help Affirmation: I support my needs and set healthy boundaries.
A virgin
If there's one sign that's known for its structure and organization, it's Virgo. And after a chaotic year, Virgos will come back to themselves in 2021, say the AstroTwins. This will allow them to refocus so that the regimen and routine they like (and need) is optimal.
Affirmation for structure: My routine keeps me fresh, organized and healthy.
Libra
Libras should prepare for a glamorous and social year with Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius, which will be a big relief for Libra after an isolated 2020. Creative vibes will be strong, the AstroTwins note, with the potential for a big passion project (and a healthy dose of romance).
Affirmation for creativity: My creativity is limitless, inspired and magical.
Scorpio
For Scorpio, 2021 is all about getting back to basics - home life, family and self-care, say the AstroTwins. Whether that means putting down roots where they are or moving to a new location, Scorpios can expect a home-centered year.
Foundation Nourishing Affirmation: My space and those in it are safe, supportive and peaceful.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius will be happy, because 2021 will have much more variety than 2020. This fire sign can expect to be occupied by many people and projects, but he must be careful not to overdo it and burn out.
Affirmation for balanced activity: My life is full of adventures that illuminate me from within.
Capricorn
Self-discovery and deep thinking were the main tasks for Capricorn in 2020, AstroTwins notes, and in 2021 he can plan to use all these reflections for a new chapter. New year, new me, right?
Affirmation for a new beginning: Every day I have a new opportunity to become the best.
Aquarius
After the excellent conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius on December 21, 2020, 2021 will be anything but boring for Aquarius. The AstroTwins find that big changes await him and, ultimately, a new way of being. Hold on!
Affirmation for changes: I deal with change with clarity, grace and wisdom.
Fish
According to astrologers AstroTwins, Pisces can prepare for a deep entry into 2021, as the year could bring a spiritual or artistic renaissance. In summer, fish can also expect a lot of healing and getting rid of unwanted things: go slow and don't be afraid to feel.
Affirmation for liberation: I am freeing myself from everything that no longer serves me on the path to healing.
