Astrology Horoscopes for May 10, 2021 – May 16, 2021

This week, the bulk of the astrology forecast occurs over a three-day window beginning on Tuesday and ending on Thursday. The two biggest features are Jupiter moving out of Aquarius and into his sign of Pisces and a New Moon in Taurus, the sign of the bull.

Let’s start with the big kahuna, Jupiter in Pisces…

Astrology Hot Spots:

Jupiter in Pisces

This week Jupiter says goodbye (at least temporarily) to the sign of Aquarius and movies into Pisces until July 28^th when he will return to the sign of the water bearer.

Pisces is the sign associated with collective dreams, but what does that even mean?

Well, we all have dreams and not just when we go to sleep. We have visions of how we would like our lives to be. WE have dreams about a perfect world and a perfect society. Some of us even have dreams of a perfect cheesecake – mine is raspberry flavored. But there are dreams that are bigger than individual dreams, they are the collective visions and aspirations of nations, groups, generations (current, previous, and those no longer with us), and even political parties. All dreams and collective visions are governed by the sign of Pisces.

Jupiter is the planet of expansion and when he dives into the deep waters of Pisces, those collective dreams of a perfect world will become a predominant theme over the next year. Carl Jung (one of the pioneers of modern psychology) believed that everyone’s dreams and aspirations add to the whole, and it is this energy that is at the deepest core of Pisces, and the actions we take as individuals decide whether those dreams solidify into tangible realities. So, it’s a great time to focus on our higher aspirations, what we would like to see happen in our lives and in the world in the future. According to the kabbalists, the most powerful force in the universe is unity (another lovely Piscean word) but to effectively create change, we all need to do our part to uplift and inspire a better tomorrow by beginning to dream — and DREAM BIG!

New Moon in Taurus

The New Moon this month lands in the sign of Taurus. Taurus is about prosperity, money, and self-worth. So, getting control over your finances, planting seeds for financial stability, and improving your self-image are constructive ways to work with this month’s New Moon, especially if you do intention or magical work

This month the New Moon makes only favorable aspects to Neptune and Pluto. The Moon’s sextile to Neptune softens Taurus’s outer shell and provides opportunities to connect on a deeper level in relationships, and it allows you to become more sensitive to the emotional needs of others. Whereas the trine to Pluto helps you stand in your own power and gives you the moxie to make changes that are necessary. Overall, this is a gentle New Moon, and it may be a bit of cosmic relief before eclipse season begins at the end of the month.

Astro Answers: Will Caitlyn Jenner Become the Governor of California?

Will Caitlyn Jenner Become the Governor of California?

E! Online announced earlier this year, that the current season of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians,’ would be the Kardashian/Jenner clan’s last season after 20 seasons and 13 years on the air.

Of course, everyone began speculating what the next move for the infamous clan would be? More makeup and skincare products? Future shows on another network? Or would the family simply fade from public view?

Well for Caitlyn Jenner, leaving the media spotlight is the last thing that she plans to do. She announced on April 23, 2021, that she would run to replace Governor Gavin Newsom of California if a recall of the current governor proceeds.

According to KCRA, California’s Secretary of State has received the 1.6 million valid signatures needed to recall the beleaguered Governor.

KCRA also stated:

“The recall needed 1,495,709 signatures that were turned in by March 17 to make the ballot – or 12% of the 12,464,235 votes cast in the previous gubernatorial election.”

Astrology Horoscopes for May 3, 2021 – May 9, 2021

This week there is an excessive amount of astrological energy and a decent mix of positive planetary hookups and interesting sign changes that should put everyone in social butterfly mode.

Let’s get the show on the road:

Weekly Hotspots:

We start the week off with the most challenging aspect of the week – Sun in Taurus square Saturn in Aquarius.

There is time for fun and enjoyment, and there is a time to put your nose to the grindstone. Sun square Saturn expects the latter. Your energies may be low, and you may feel the weight of the world on your shoulders. Your self-esteem might be at a low point, and you may feel at odds with people around you, especially authority figures. However, the best way to manage Sun square Saturn is to focus on practical matters and keeping a low profile. The more you concentrate on your duties and responsibilities, the less painful Monday will be.

Later in the evening on Monday, Mercury will move out of Taurus and into his sign of Gemini. As we go through the rest of the week, you will need to communicate with others and learn new things. Your social calendar should begin to fill up because you will need the exchange of ideas, opinions, and camaraderie of others. Since Mercury turns retrograde later in the month, the trickster god will be in Gemini until July 11^th.

On Thursday, Venus forms a beneficial trine to Pluto in Capricorn. Venus trine Pluto will intensity your relationship experiences, and your emotions will be in overdrive. This is a great day to express your deepest feelings to your partner, and you will experience a deeper connection than before.

Finally, this weekend Venus continues to hog the stage as she aspects Jupiter and moves out of her sign of Taurus and into mercurial Gemini.

Saturday will not be the best day for discipline and responsibility. Instead, you will want to relax, luxuriate, and enjoy the company of others. You should find that most (there is always that one) people are in decent moods and enjoyable.

Finally, later in the evening on Saturday, Venus moves out of Taurus and into Gemini. Your social needs will be activated, and you will desire the company of others. Sharing ideas and spending time with your companions will help release stress and invigorate your spirit.

Astrology Forecast for the Week of April 25, 2021 – May 1, 2021

After the burst of energy we received during Aries Season, this week will be a difficult pill for many to swallow. Saturn forces us back to the planet Earth, and usually, he comes with a few lessons. Usually, lessons we would rather avoid.

Saturn is the planet of limitations and restrictions. He wants us to take the “long road” rather than the express route. Saturn requires patience, hard work, and for each of us to take responsibility for our actions. If we work with Saturn productively, he reveals the problem areas of our lives and provides us with solutions. If we avoid Saturn or choose to ignore him, we may experience depression, loneliness, or become overwhelmed by duties and obligations.

So, it’s better to work with the curmudgeon and pay him his coin because he ultimately does reward us IF we do the work he requires.

Astrological Horoscopes for the Week of April 18, 2021 – April 24, 2021

After a month and a half of better than average ‘astro weather’, the Cosmos once again tosses us into the meat grinder. Be on guard!

This week we leave the fiery world of Aries behind and sink our toes into the earth because Taurus season begins on Monday. Now, the dense gravity of earth may be a little jarring after a month of potentials, possibilities, and inspiration. Taurus season requires us to focus on the physical realm and what we can do with our Aries ambitions by doing something (meaning work) to manifest our visions and goals. So, to put it simply, Taurus is about using our determination and grit to get things done.

This Week’s Hot Spots:

On Monday, both the Sun and Mercury move into Taurus. Financial matters and security concerns will be your focus over the next few weeks. Try to focus on creating budgets and getting your fiscal picture in order. Taurus season is also a good time to focus on whole foods that aid your overall wellbeing as well as reviewing the number of resources that you may be wasting – the list may be shocking!

During the middle of the week, Venus conjoins Uranus. Relationships and financial issues may need to be handled with care. Avoid making choices and decisions impulsively.

Finally, on the weekend, Mars moves out of Gemini and into Cancer. Cancer is the sign of the family and when the war god moves into the sign of the crab, past familial problems and grievances are bound to resurface. Use this time to try to resolve issues by communicating and listening rather than letting your emotions drive the bus. In some cases, it’s easier to just walk away.

Astrology Horoscopes for the Week of April 11, 2021 – April 17, 2021

This is going to be a massive week in astrologyland with a New Moon, a Venusian sign change, and seven – yes seven – planetary aspects.

So, let’s get the show on the road.

This Week’s Hot Spots:

Control freaks (I say this lovingly because I am one), it’s your turn to shine with a lovely New Moon in Aries occurring on Sunday. This New Moon is a precursor for the next chapter after a year of lockdowns, restrictions, and never-ending holding patterns. Mars, the ruler of the New Moon, is in Gemini stirring up plenty of uncontrolled frenetic energy that puts you back in the driver’s seat. Can I get an amen?

After 13 months of the pandemic, it’s time for you to look at your life and create a game plan or strategy to move forward into a new normal. This New Moon gives you not only the power to move forward, but it’s in aspect to lucky Venus and helpful Jupiter. Anything you begin, in earnest, should be successful.

In addition to the New Moon, Pluto is a major player this week with aspects to Venus, the Sun, and Mercury. Pluto aspects can be obsessive, so watch out for relationship issues if they bubble up on Sunday. Meanwhile on Friday, as the Sun tangles with the Lord of the underworld, you may need to take an honest look at your life (and Mercury in aspect to Pluto will help reveal the truth) and make changes if necessary. Avoiding these changes will just lead to problems resurfacing in July that may be more difficult to manage. And remember, to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Finally, on Wednesday, Venus will move out of Aries and into her own sign of Taurus. Making financial decisions with this Venusian placement will make things easier, especially after April 25^th when Venus clears both Uranus and Saturn. If you want to make a large purchase now would be the time to consider it. Venus remains well dignified until May 8, 2021, when she will move into Gemini.

Sign Breakdowns:

Aries: The week starts out with a massive burst of energy as the New Moon occurs in your solar first house. It’s time to let go of the old and embrace the new.

Taurus: The New Moon occurs in your solar twelfth house and unresolved issues from the past may resurface. The good news is that a positive conclusion is highly likely. Opportunities for a raise, promotion, or general financial improvement is possible with Mars forming a lovely aspect to expansive Jupiter. New insights may lead to tense encounters later in the week. Keep shady and power-hungry people at arm’s length!

Gemini: It’s going to be a busy and social week for you as the New Moon lands in your solar 11^th house. Friends and associates may be a major focus because you need conversation and social stimulation.

Cancer: The New Moon lands in your 10^th house of career and public recognition. You are beginning a new career cycle and since the planets are shining down upon you favorably, it’s your time to shine. If you are looking for a promotion or raise, now is the time to ask for it. Since Venus is now in your 11^th house, new financial opportunities may be presented by friends and associates.

Leo: The urge to break free of responsibilities and duties may be heightened by the New Moon in your solar 9^th house. You may need a trip or vacation to help recharge your depleted creative batteries. Towards the end of the week be careful on the career front because dubious people may attempt to steal your thunder.

Virgo: A heavy cluster of planets including the New Moon in your solar 8^th house could leave you feeling befuddled and out of sorts. Old familial hurts could resurface and do a number on your self-esteem and may need to be worked through. The good news is that despite your emotional concerns, positive career news could pull you out of your personal funk storm.

Libra: The New Moon in your solar 7^th house puts all the weeks’ energy on your favorite concern – relationships! It’s a great time to jump-start the love sector of your life with a healthy dose of romance with a side of good old-fashioned fun. Later in the week, Mars will make a lovely trine to Jupiter giving you the energy boost you have been waiting for.

Scorpio: The New Moon in lands in the health and habits sector of your chart. It’s a good time to look at health-related issues and create new strategies if necessary.

Otherwise, a buildup of tension could lead to problems in the future.

Sagittarius: Since the New Moon lands in your solar fifth house your creative juices will steadily flow. This is a great time to start new projects and bring your ideas and inspirations to life. Workplace associates may be key to helping you level up but be wary of negative Nelly’s that may attempt to extinguish your flame.

Capricorn: Home improvement projects and family issues may be your theme for the week with the New Moon in your solar 4^th house. If unresolved tensions are lurking, be prepared for them to surface towards the end of the week. On a more promising note, the creative projects you have worked on will begin to pay off.

Aquarius: It’s a great week to start new conversations, projects, or social interactions with the New Moon In your solar 3^rd house. There will be an increased focus on projects that invigorate your enthusiasm and enliven your spirit. However, try to avoid potential conflict with siblings or close friends because they will only drag down your mood and steal your joy.

Pisces: Finances are a major concern with the New Moon in your solar 2^nd house. Planning a budget or getting control over your fiscal circumstances may be necessary. It’s also a great week to spend time with family members, especially those that you haven’t interacted with in a while.

Enjoy your week!
