Astrology Forecast and Horoscopes for Week of May 17, 2021 – May 23, 2021

Astrology Forecast:

This week’s astrology forecast has the Sun moving into airy Gemini. Gemini is the season of the social butterfly, so our focus shifts from the physical world of money, individual values, and resources to social activities, ideas, and mingling with others. While the Sun is in the sign of the twins, expect insightful conversations, the sharing of ideas and concepts, and the need to learn new things that keep the mind stimulated and refreshed. Since Gemini has to do with the mind, the thing to be cautious of is mental constructs that may limit and curtail personal growth. Stay focused on the positive and the future, rather than ruminating on the past.

Saturn Retrograde:

In other astrological news, Saturn turns retrograde in Aquarius. Saturn is the planet of responsibility and discipline. He reflects what we do when we are ‘adulting’ — you know, that minor issue of taking care of business. Saturn also reflects the planetary parental overlord that governs us, teaches us lessons, and rewards us for a job well done.

In astrology, when a planet is retrograde, it weakens the planets ability to function efficiently. In transformational astrology, retrograde planets operate on the inner level rather than experienced in the outer world. So, essentially, Saturn turning retrograde reflects a four-and-a-half-month period where we need to look at our lives and discover what needs structure and discipline. Often this is painfully obvious, because ‘daddy’ Saturn doesn’t step in and restrict us as usual, but instead lets us fall on our face so that we can discover ways in which we can learn lessons the hard way. Furthermore, it’s probably best when problems occur we handle them when they arise, because they become progressively more challenging if we ignore them.

Mercury square Neptune:

Finally, on Saturday, Mercury forms a challenging square to Neptune in Pisces. Mercury square Neptune is a highly confusing aspect. You need to be cautious of what you say, and be as clear and concise as possible. If an opportunity seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Check and recheck everything before making a firm decision.

Ordinarily, Mercury square Neptune only affects us for a few days, but with Mercury’s retrograde motion that begins next week, this aspect will be in orb for a while. Proceed with caution!

Now, on with the weekly horoscopes…

Sign Breakdowns:

Aries

This week, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus move through your solar 3rd house, giving you plenty to talk about and a need to share ideas and information with others. Opportunities to learn something new that helps you achieve your goals may occur midweek. However, this weekend pay close attention to what people say; someone may not be telling the truth.

Taurus

This week, the Sun moves into your solar second house, and you couldn’t be happier because your mind will be on your favorite subject – money! Conversations about improving your financial standing may occur midweek when Venus trines Saturn in your solar 10^th house. However, avoid signing contracts or becoming overly obligated until after Mercury turns direct in the middle of June.

Gemini

At long last, it’s your season and time to shine, so spread those social butterfly wings and fly. This week, conversations with others will help you understand yourself on a deeper level. Also, new opportunities may be presented towards the end of the week that help you level up. Stay focused on your goals!

Cancer

Conserve your energy this week because the Sun is moving into your solar 12^th house, leaving you feeling burnt out and exhausted. Try to get as much rest as possible to recharge your batteries, so you have an ample amount of energy to use when needed. Resolution of unresolved financial matters may need to be your focus at the end of the week before they become too stressful to manage.

Leo

The week begins with a focus on work-related matters. Opportunities to take your career to the next level will come through friends and associates that see your true potential. Avoid getting involved with other people’s financial issues because their situation may not be as bad as they portray it to be. You may need to say no when pressured.

Virgo

People that do not understand your grand vision may question your motives, especially in career-related matters. The good news is that despite the Negative Nancy’s barking at your workplace, positive financial news will arrive midweek that puts your self-doubts to rest. There may be a wolf in sheep’s clothing around you; try to root out the culprit as quickly as possible.

Libra

This week begins with a beneficial aspect between the Sun and Pluto that helps you release the emotional traumas you have experienced in your life. Releasing the past allows you to concentrate your efforts on expanding your belief system and acquiring a more positive outlook on life. Later this week, your creative talents may prove lucrative, so take advantage of opportunities while the irons are hot.

Scorpio

This week begins a month-long process of inner change and transformation as the Sun moves into your solar 8^th house. Difficulties in relationships have a better than average chance of being resolved, because you and your partner have enough emotional feelings for one another to face the underlying issues. Single Scorpios, be careful of investing heavily in people who are only in your life for a season.

Sagittarius

You may need to escape the real world this week and focus on what makes you happy and brings you joy. Relationships will be a conduit that inspires new ideas that get your creative juices flowing once again. Towards the end of the week, avoid signing contracts or legal documents with Mercury in your 7^th house, squaring deceptive Neptune.

Capricorn

Although you may want to focus on issues that matter to you, daily annoyances and problematic people may threaten to knock you off your game. Projects you have invested in may not work out as expected, leaving you feeling emotionally depleted. Since the Sun is now moving through your solar 6^th house, take extra care of your body and make choices that benefit your well-being.

Aquarius

This week, the Sun begins its month-long trek through your solar 5^th house, bringing out your need to connect with others and have some fun. It’s a great time to take a step back from the daily grind and take some me-time to become conscious of your current goals and what you are currently seeking in life. However, try to avoid overspending, because your decision-making might not be the best with Mercury squaring Neptune in your financial second house.

Pisces

This week, the Sun moves through your solar 4^th house, putting family matters in the proverbial hot seat. Issues from the past may resurface that need resolution once and for all. Getting in touch with your deeper feelings about life will positively impact your personal growth and career matters. This coming weekend, avoid shady people.

See you next week!

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.
