The Astrology Forecast and Horoscopes for June 7, 2021 – June 13, 2021

The astrology and horoscope forecast for the week beginning June 7, 2021, features a solar eclipse in Gemini, Mars moving into Leo, and a befuddling Sun square Neptune.

But let’s begin with the obvious – Mercury is retrograde in Gemini until June 22.

Even though Mercury is moving again, albeit slowly, we will continue to experience Mercury retrograde issues. Expect problems with communication, electronic devices, plans, and it’s best to avoid signing documents or making decisions unless you have no other choice.

Astrology Forecast and Horoscopes for May 31, 2021 – June 6, 2021

The astrology forecast and horoscopes for the week of May 31, 2021, feature an energetically calmer week until we get to the weekend when all hell breaks loose.

So, make sure you enjoy the good vibes while they last!

Let’s dive in…

Astrology Hot Spots:

Mercury Rx in Gemini / Mercury square Neptune

Just a reminder, Mercury turned retrograde on Saturday in a close applying square to Neptune in Pisces. Throughout the week, communication will continue to break down until the exact conjunction on Saturday, June 5. Expect misunderstandings, brain fog, and problems seeing the truth to be the significant themes throughout the week. Also, as usual, during Mercury retrograde – avoid signing documents, making major decisions, and expect electronic devices to break down.

Venus in Cancer / Venus trine Jupiter

On Wednesday, Venus leaves social Gemini and enters Cancer. In the sign of the crab, you will find that Venus is much more sentimental, affectionate and needs to feel like she belongs to someone. You will be more sensitive to the actions and reactions of those you care about, especially family members and romantic interests. When Venus is in Cancer, I suggest that people stay at home and find activities that will help them create deeper bonds and lasting memories. Venus remains in Cancer until June 27.

Immediately following Venus’ ingress into Cancer (Thursday), Venus will form a beneficial trine to Jupiter in Pisces. Venus trine Jupiter is a favorable aspect, and emotional situations that are currently experiencing difficulties may get some relief. Your feelings towards others will improve, and you will have an increased need to connect with those you care for. Additionally, this is a great time to repair any damage to relationships and get them moving in the right direction once again.

Venus trine Jupiter is also great for business meetings, negotiations, and all financial matters. Just keep in mind that Mercury is retrograde before finalizing decisions.

Sun trine Saturn

Most of the time, when you hear an astrologer say the planet Saturn, you will listen to moans and groans that reflect the other person’s displeasure. Let me be frank – Saturn can be a difficult planet, especially when he is conjoined, squared, or opposed to another planet. Just look at the cosmic tsunami unleashed in 2020 when Saturn conjoined a filled basket of inhabitants in Capricorn. However, the sextile and trines tend to bring out the ‘ringed one’ positive side.

On Thursday, the Sun forms a trine to Saturn in Aquarius, and this aspect tends to stabilize our lives. This doesn’t mean that problems will magically go away; instead, our outlook will be more balanced, and we are willing to put forth the effort to make things happen. Oh, and of course, we will be more disciplined.

Thursday and Friday are great days to accomplish something or complete a task. Work and career-related matters should flow easily, and you may receive acknowledgment for your hard work. Just make sure that you get what you need finished by the weekend because the energies are pretty intense.

Mars opposes Pluto

Of all the planetary aspects, I find Mars oppose Pluto one of the most difficult to manage because we are more reactive when we are in situations that are difficult to control. To make matters worse, the “nasties” (meaning nasty people) tend to crawl out of their caves and are in ‘full on’ attack mode.

You may find yourself at odds with others, especially if you feel controlled and manipulated. In its most extreme mode, Mars oppose Pluto can be violent, so avoid situations where conflict may occur. Mars opposes Pluto on Saturday afternoon.

Sign Breakdowns

Aries

You may need to make a concerted effort to keep a watch on your tongue as Mercury retrogrades in your solar 3rd house. Projects that involve discipline and the cooperation of others should flow smoothly midweek. Possible quarrels with family members may occur this weekend. Try to control your reaction to others, especially those on a powertrip.

Taurus

Mercury retrogrades through your solar 2^nd house, and it’s time to put your financial affairs in order. This week is an excellent time to review banking information, due bills, and balance your checkbook to get to the bottom line. Towards the middle of the week, you may receive recognition for a job well done. However, keep your opinions to yourself this weekend to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Gemini

Geminis, you are in the hot seat this retrograde cycle because Mercury is moving through your sign. You may need to take an honest look at your life and make course corrections if required. Towards the middle of the week, career opportunities will allow you to shine. However, this weekend, ghosts from the past may burst out of the closet, leaving you anxious and overwhelmed.

Cancer

This week Mercury retrograde moves through your solar 12^th house, and it’s time to put the final nail in the coffin on unresolved situations. You may find people that you have prior beef with resurfacing like a pack of hell hounds. The good news is that once you resolve these issues, they will likely disappear once and for all. This weekend avoid unnecessary relationship conflicts.

Leo

Mercury retrograde is going to wreak havoc in your solar 11^th house of friends and associates. You may spend the retrograde cycle dealing with a gossip or trouble maker forcing you to clear toxic people from your crew. Reviewing your investments or overall fiscal picture may be a theme midweek. This weekend problematic people may try to affect your vibe. Ignore them if possible.

Virgo

Career-related issues will be your primary theme throughout the Mercury retrograde cycle. You may feel that no matter how much effort you muster, it’s never enough to accomplish your goals. You may receive some relief when a supportive friend rescues you with some advice and a dose of tender loving care. Avoid arguments this weekend, especially with children or young people.

Libra

Mercury retrograde in your solar 9^th house means that you need to check and recheck travel plans to ensure your trips go smoothly. Avoid unnecessary headaches by practicing due diligence. On Thursday, Venus moves into your solar 10^th house and shines a spotlight on your career. Positive opportunities occur when you least expect them. This weekend, stay on guard; someone may attempt to hurt your reputation. Nip it in the bud as quickly as possible.

Scorpio

Mercury retrograde moves through your debt-oriented solar 8^th house. You may need to take a close look at your finances and prepare for unexpected expenses. Emotional conflicts may smooth over later in the week as the Sun trines Saturn. But, this weekend, avoid arguments over opinions or political matters because it’s not worth the potential long-term damage.

Sagittarius

Relationship issues may be a problem during this Mercury retrograde cycle, mainly if past grievances or imbalance exists. You may have difficulties seeing your partners clearly, and it would be a wise decision to listen before you speak. Close friends may be a source of support and security that you can rely on. This weekend, avoid places where conflict is likely to occur because it may put an avoidable dent in your wallet.

Capricorn

Work-related matters, schedules, and deadlines may be an unavoidable canker sore this Mercury retrograde season. You may experience moments when you feel like you are getting the run around from those you depend on, forcing you to take on more than you can handle. Unexpected financial wins could occur midweek. Relationship conflicts may erupt when you least expect them over the weekend.

Aquarius

People from the past may resurface, leaving you both anxious and intrigued. Although you may initially like the attention, remember there is a reason you put them in the rearview mirror in the first place. You may get an opportunity to have some fun towards the middle of the week, so take advantage of invites from others that may feed your social soul. Job-related issues may be a source of conflict this weekend.

Pisces

You may have problems with appliances or electronic devices as Mercury retrogrades through your solar 4^th house. These pesky annoyances could leave you rattled and anxious. The good news is that a knight (or lady) in shining armor may arrive when you need them the most, midweek. This weekend, stay on guard; conflicts and arguments may irrevocably damage your friendships. Avoid argumentative people.

Shameless Plug Alert

I do have some good news. A few years ago, I created a candle to help combat the influences of Mercury retrograde with my friend Jacki Smith of Coventry Creations. We named the candle “Mercury Retrograde Neutralizer,” which is available to purchase from my store during the retrograde. So, if you find yourself in a cosmic pickle, neutralize it!

Mercury Retrograde in Gemini – May 29, 2021 – June 22, 2021

Mercury, the planet of communication, goes into trickster mode when he reverses course on May 28, 2021, at 6:34 PM EST.

So, I’ll give you a chance to scream and mutter before I give you the “Astro-Tea.”

Now that we have had a momentary fit, and the banshees have gone to wail elsewhere, let’s dig in…

Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius – May 26, 2021

Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius

Lights, camera, action! Guess what? It’s eclipse season, and the following month is a blockbuster-filled cosmic event that will surely keep you on the edge of your seat. So, get your popcorn ready the show begins on May 26^th at 7:14 AM EDT.

On Wednesday, the blood moon lunar eclipse (a fancy power-packed Full Moon) occurs at 5 degrees of Sagittarius. For those of you with planets in Gemini or Sagittarius, this eclipse may have a more substantial impact, so stay on your toes!

Now, whenever I think about the sign of Sagittarius, I think of epic action films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark or Lara Croft. It’s big, bold, and filled with adventure and intrigue. Sagittarius is grand theater and reflects our quest for meaning that is greater than the lives that we live in the real world. It’s the epic superhero motif complete with ‘justice’ that Sagittarius loves. After all, superheroes need a villain they can defeat to make things right in the world.

Being a fire sign, Sagittarius wants to inspire, think outside the box, and provide us with the potentials and possibilities of a better tomorrow. More simply, the energy of Sagittarius is about having faith in something good to believe in once again.

But what about this eclipse business?

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.

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.
