Astrological Forecast for Spring/Summer 2021
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start
where you are and change the ending.” — James Sherman
Spring, the season of bright hopes is near. The planets overhead hold
the promise of a new paradigm. Our forecast begins with Mercury, Saturn
and Jupiter joined together in visionary Aquarius. This is the sign of
people power, community and friendship. Looking out for one’s fellow men
and women is a fashionable necessity. The path ahead is not without
challenges. Saturn spends much of 2021 in a testing square with
eccentric Uranus. Cautious Saturn favors tradition and known quantities.
Uranus, on the other hand, is wildly adventurous, a rule breaker open
to experimentation. Both our day-to-day personal experiences as well as
collective progress may feel like a case of two steps forward and one
step back.
Because Uranus is also associated with freedom and naturally leans
towards progressive thinking, reformers and inventors can at times
appear to have seized control. It was discovered in 1781, the era of the
American Revolution and birth of the Industrial Age. The promise of
humankind’s inventive spirit seemed limitless. First water and then
steam power were harnessed to conquer Mother Nature and boost
productivity. Two-hundred-and-forty years later many folks question
whether we have in fact been misguided by our technological prowess.
Mankind’s balance with the natural world has been lost. Faces glued to
mobile phones, people are often oblivious to the person sitting right
next to them while the fragility of Earth is too often an afterthought.
These quality-of-life issues need to be addressed if we hope to improve
our prospects on this planet. We’ll have numerous chances to speak up
and act in 2021.
March
Momentum is notable on the first day of the new month. The Libra
Moon, a beacon of good manners and refined tastes, is agreeably aligned
with Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter. We know what to do and when to do it.
Partnerships thrive and teamwork is super productive. Positive trends
continue. A midweek sextile between Venus and Uranus fosters affection.
On Thursday, the 4th mental Mercury forms an optimistic conjunction with
Jupiter. Both travel and communications go well.
On Friday, the 5th the last quarter Sagittarius Moon could bring
forth emotionally charged issues. The Aquarius Moon activates a tense
square between Saturn and Uranus. Take changes in stride. Many folks are
confronted with difficult choices. An Aquarian stellium lights the way
through storms and, by the end of the working week, renews faith in
humankind. Exercise the potential of positive thinking and look for
silver linings.
Before dawn on Saturday, the 13th the final new moon of the zodiacal
year showcases a brilliant stellium in Pisces. Composed of the Sun,
Moon, Venus and Neptune, magic is afoot. All that begins during the
coming two weeks is infused with both heart and vision. Women’s causes
are well-served, as are creative and humanitarian endeavors. At times it
will be better to follow your passion than listen to your rational
mind. Don’t forget to set your clocks ahead Saturday night. Daylight
Savings Time begins on Sunday.
Mercury arrives in Pisces the evening of Monday, the 15th. Minds become
more impressionable and fanciful. The Sun and Venus form empowering
sextiles to dogged Pluto during the mid-week period. Tenacity and
cooperation pay dividends on the 16th and 18th, when the supportive
aspects reach peak intensity.
s the ensuing weekend gets under way the Sun enters Aries before dawn
on Saturday the 20th. This is the Spring Equinox, when the hours of
daylight and darkness are in balance. On the threshold of the new season
the future calls. Many folks feel impelled to be on their way, eager to
meet new challenges. The waxing Moon reaches her first quarter stage on
Sunday. The morning hours may feel slightly off kilter but things
smooth out and move briskly the second half of the day.
Numerous challenges arise on Tuesday, the 23rd and Wednesday, the
24th. Flexibility and patience are helpful. The approaching conjunction
of the Aries Sun and Venus, exact early Friday morning of the 26th,
proves love is a guiding light. The waxing Moon crescendos to fullness
on Sunday, the 28th. Full in Libra, the Moon is in opposition to the Sun
and Venus. The Moon is also part of a grand trine along with Saturn and
Mars. The energies are a fabulous harbinger of healing and less fearful
times.
April
Minutes after midnight on Thursday, the 1st, the Moon enters
adventure-loving Sagittarius. Intelligent jests and jokes are
recommended this April Fool’s Day. Aside from the silliness, the stars
give a solid green light for important business, meetings and other
commitments. The skies are relatively quiet during the first weekend of
April, although some strain is felt around Sunday morning’s early last
quarter Moon in Capricorn. Easter celebrations grow sweeter as the day
progresses.
Tuesday, the 6th is a standout day for fun. Venus and the Aries Sun
are conjunct, while also harmonizing with Mars. The Aquarius Moon joins
the party late in the day, setting the stage for enjoyable get
togethers. Don’t forget to wear your mask and practice social
distancing. Later in the week Mars forms a difficult square with
Neptune. Exact the afternoon of Friday, the 9th, the aspect raises risk
factors. Be conscious of the weather, potentially spoiled food and other
toxic substances. Gas and water leaks, as well as simple oversights are
also more likely. Improved trends dominate low key Saturday, the 10th.
The Aries new moon is exact Sunday night, the 11th. A new achievement
cycle begins, but with Venus, the Sun and Moon in testing angles with
Pluto, careful planning and cooperation are necessities. Follow common
sense rules and regulations. Make sure partners are informed and agree
with your plans. Good progress is made through Thursday, the 15th but if
anything is amiss, it will likely come to light on Friday, the 16th
when the Sun squares Pluto. The active stars of Saturday, the 17th
mirror a beehive of activity down here on Earth. Springtime energy is
definitely in the air. The upbeat atmosphere is a plus for chores,
traveling, studying and assorted adventures. Even Mercury’s late
afternoon square with Pluto can be put to good use, doing research or
negotiating contracts.
The Sun enters Taurus on Monday afternoon, the 19th. The pace of life
eases. Sleep may be elusive that night as the Leo Moon reaches her
first quarter phase. A stressful Tuesday follows. Minimize frustrations
by toning down expectations. Breathe, stay calm and pace yourself.
Earth Day, April 22nd, is exciting. Appropriately, the Moon is in the
earth sign Virgo. Lunar aspects are inspiring. Venus forms a
conjunction with Uranus, an omen of universal peace and harmony. Even a
love at first sight meeting is possible. Plant a tree and fall in love!
What could be better?
Mercury overtakes Uranus during the early morning hours of Saturday,
the 24th. Social, spiritual and technological boundaries may be redrawn.
Talk with friends. Sobering news arrives late Saturday night. Under the
cover of the waxing Moon a Sunday evening Mercury/Venus conjunction
reminds us of our blessings. Late on Monday, the 26th the Moon is full.
This is the Scorpio full Moon, at which time India celebrates the sacred
Wesak festival and the spirit of Buddha is said to return to Earth’s
plane. Uranus is the closest planet to the Sun, indicating this is a
particularly favorable time for enlightening experiences. Less
spiritually oriented souls may be in for a wakeup call.
The days following the full Moon are comparatively mellow but the
month ends dramatically. On Friday, the 30th the Sun conjuncts Uranus.
Sudden changes of fortune or circumstance may catch unsuspecting souls
off guard. What topples now is meant to go. In time it will be apparent
that the emerging new reality is preferable to what has been lost.
May
We’re off to a sweet start as May arrives with an uninterrupted
series of agreeable aspects. May Day harmony is a highlight. This day
truly is a feel-good story. Maypole dancers are inspired! On Sunday, May
2nd more good vibes come flooding in as Mercury trines Pluto and Venus
sextiles Neptune. Investigators and shoppers find what they’re looking
for. People see eye-to-eye. Lovers and dreamers dream true.
Monday, the 3rd ushers in more challenging energies. The Taurus Sun
and Aquarius Moon both set off the square between Saturn and Uranus,
creating a tense, unstable atmosphere. People who thrive on certainty
find the going particularly tough. If ever there was a time to practice a
“live and let live” philosophy, this is it. Respect what is. Many laws
and regulations exist for good reason. Rules that don’t make sense are
likely to be broken today.
Mellower trends hold sway as the Moon wanes. On Saturday, the 8th
it’s smart to avoid overdoing in any way. Venus enters Gemini late that
night, a good placement for people who enjoy socializing. Mother’s Day,
the 9th, has its ups and downs. The first half of the day holds a number
of potentially uneasy moments. Defer to Mom and you can’t go wrong.
Moods improve during the afternoon hours. The waning Moon and Mars give
Monday, the 10th an energy boost but it’s also a good night for turning
in early.
The Taurus new Moon launches the next activity cycle on Tuesday, the
11th. With Mars and Uranus in a favorable sextile, progress promises to
be swift during the coming weeks. Wednesday, the 12th is quietly
fruitful. Jupiter enters Pisces Wednesday evening, a fine omen for those
born under the Sign of the Fishes. Monday, the 17th and Wednesday, the
19th can be notably productive but a new strategy may be called for on
the 19th under the waxing first quarter Moon. Seek input from a more
experienced co-worker.
The Sun enters Gemini the afternoon of Thursday, the 20th. The
bright, breezy vibrancy of the Twins is a welcome energy. Adding to the
exuberance, the Sun forms a square with Jupiter on Friday morning, the
21st. Some souls drink fully of life, others look to expand their
knowledge or set out on a grand voyage. Because Mercury is nearing a
square with confusing Neptune, it may be wise to tone down expectations.
At a minimum double check appointments and itineraries. We are also
moving into spring eclipse season. Things begun the week of an eclipse
rarely proceed as planned. Saturn turns retrograde on the 23rd, which is
sure to slow or delay some projects.
The Sagittarius Moon is full and eclipsed the morning of Wednesday the
26th. Close by her own south node, it’s an excellent time to let go of
outworn ideas. Embrace moments of self-discovery. Venus tests Neptune
the following afternoon. For some souls this is a time of heartache and
disappointment. Others find renewed inspiration through faith and love.
Friday, the 28th holds one of the month’s better social evenings.
Mercury aligns with Venus, giving words extra sweetness. With the Winged
Messenger stationary and about to go retrograde, unexpected
reconnections sparkle over the holiday weekend.
Mercury’s retrograde begins Saturday evening. Be ready to change your
thinking as new facts will almost certainly be made known during the
coming weeks. Mars’ trine to Neptune is May’s last major planetary
alignment. You alone have the power to make your dreams come true.
June
Confidence grows as June begins. The morning of Wednesday, the 2nd
Venus settles into sensitive Cancer. Loyalties and affections are deeply
felt. Thursday, the 3rd is a decisive day. The Gemini Sun trines
Saturn. The stabilizing pairing reaffirms good choices and underscores
the benefits of experience. The day is busy and highly productive.
Venus’ evening trine to Jupiter is good reason to celebrate. Things take
a turn as the weekend approaches.
On Saturday, the 5th Mercury tests Neptune while Mars opposes Pluto.
Morning hopefulness gives way to feelings of confusion and desperation
after noon. Emotional maturity and poise are needed. If in doubt, put a
hold on important decisions and negotiations. The evening’s
void-of-course Aries Moon provides a timely opportunity to disentangle
from a tough situation. Relax and decompress Saturday night. Several
quiet days follow.
The new Moon in Gemini ushers in a fresh activity cycle during the
early morning of Thursday, the 10th. This is also a solar eclipse event.
Once again, we are in a delicate time of revelations. Plans are apt to
change. On Sunday, the 13th a solar square to Neptune adds new wrinkles
and possible confusion. Saturn squares Uranus the following evening,
lending Monday a fly-by-the-seat-of your-pants vibe. Be ready to adjust
and improvise. The middle of the month is comparatively tranquil but the
stars spice up June’s second half.
Sunday, the 20th is very active. The Sun enters Cancer and summer
begins. This is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.
Jupiter turns retrograde in early Pisces, leading to a reevaluation of
laws and beliefs and for some folks, a crisis of faith. Instincts are
powerful, offering strength and confidence. Hearts are infused with
empathy and compassion as Venus trines Neptune the following day. During
Tuesday evening of the 22nd Mercury resumes forward motion. The
direction change helps clarify a variety of issues, but some facts may
remain questionable.
Full Moon fever hits early. Wednesday, the 23rd sees great
expectations as well as overwrought feelings. The full Moon in Capricorn
is exact during the early afternoon of Thursday, the 24th. Jupiter
helps most folks strike a healthy balance between work and play. The
month closes under mellow skies.
July
Easy does it on Thursday, the 1st. Proceed with care. Both Mars
opposing Saturn and a last quarter Aries Moon inflate stress levels.
Saturday’s astrological omens are worrisome. Mars is square Uranus, an
explosive combination that calls for extreme caution while traveling or
using machinery. Slow down! Mixed trends continue on Sunday, the 4th.
Independence Day celebrations may grow raucous in some locales. Our
country is still searching for a renewed sense of identity and purpose.
Progress is apparent in certain areas but nagging mistrust of government
authority also lingers.
The week of the 5th is an up and down ride. The Sun forms an
exhilarating sextile to Uranus on Monday, the 5th, putting sparkle in
everyday events. Multiple challenges require attention on Tuesday. With
Venus igniting the Saturn/Uranus square, this is a time to be attentive
to loved ones, as is Thursday, the 8th. Friday night’s new Moon in
Cancer ushers in another activity cycle.
There’s relatively smooth sailing from the 10th through the 16th but
the Sun’s opposition to Pluto on Saturday, the 17th could bring a major
shift in priorities. This first quarter Moon day is a good time to
re-evaluate goals. Look within rather than pointing fingers. The evening
of Wednesday, the 21st brings a more practical focus as Venus enters
Virgo. Love is caring for others under this placement.
The Sun arrives in spirited Leo the morning of Thursday, the 22nd.
Summer heat is on. So, too, is an indulgent, party-like atmosphere as
Venus opposes Jupiter and the Moon grows full. The high-flying Aquarius
Moon is full the night of Friday, the 23rd. Heed the callings of your
heart but if you socialize, do so with appropriate caution. Bodies of
water and places of natural beauty are attractive destinations.
Moonlight dancing by the water is wonderful! Mixed trends make
communications challenging the weekend of the 24th and 25th. Keep in
close touch with playmates.
Be tactful on Thursday, the 29th. Passions rise as Mars opposes
Jupiter. Don’t overstate what is obvious, and watch your temper. The
last quarter Moon in Taurus sets off a dramatic fixed sign T-square on
Saturday, the 31st. You definitely have more to gain using sweetness
under this rather tense alignment.
August
Effective communicators are usually also great listeners. Remain
open-minded on Sunday, the 1st. Decisive awareness and endings are
likely as the Sun and Mercury oppose Saturn. Some commitments deepen but
with a week of unpredictable twists and turns in store, it may be wise
to keep your options open. The Sun’s square to Uranus caps off the
tumultuous work week on Friday, the 6th. Review recent events and
rethink plans on Saturday. Calmer trends arrive with the Leo new Moon of
Sunday, the 8th. It’s time to get proactive.
Monday and Tuesday strategy sessions become increasingly ambitious
and culminate with a deal-sealing trine between Venus and Pluto during
the evening of Wednesday, the 11th. Second opinions are helpful and the
strength of partnerships is obvious. Strategies may need to be
fine-tuned around the time of the first quarter Moon, exact on Sunday,
the 15th.
The week of the 16th races by. The Moon is waxing. Wednesday’s
powerful Mercury/Mars conjunction is trine Uranus. On Thursday, the 19th
the Sun opposes Jupiter. Big ideas make great things possible. The
Aquarius Moon is full during the early morning hours of Sunday, the
22nd. With Jupiter close by the Moon, life is good.
Dream big but don’t be gullible on Tuesday, the 24th when Mercury
opposes Neptune. Second thoughts are timely the morning of Thursday, the
26th. Do your research and acquire needed information as Mercury aligns
with Pluto. The forecast period ends under quiet skies. Savor these
mellow late summer days but be respectful of the forces of Mother
Nature. Keep safety in mind. Stay on top of weather forecasts and have
appropriate gear on hand.
