2020 has undoubtedly been a tough year for all, and especially so for couples who have had to cancel or delay their weddings due to the coronavirus pandemic. Princess Diana's former astrologer Debbie Frank did a deep dive into the activity of the planets over the past 12 months and found that, indeed, the close proximity of stern Saturn and interventionist Pluto acted as a black cloud that brought about "circumstances beyond people's control".

Nonetheless, 2021 is looking more promising. "As we enter 2021, both Jupiter and Saturn have recently formed their Great Conjunction in Aquarius on the December Winter Solstice," Debbie explains. "Marking a new 20-year cycle that signals a new era. This in itself is a symbol that gatherings will be forthcoming as Aquarius is the sign of groups, events and connection." Here, Debbie debunks the patterns of energy predicted for the year, and reveals the best dates to get engaged and proposed in 2021 accordingly.
