The astrology forecast for May is extremely powerful and life-changing! Bringing the first eclipse season of the year, the beginning of two important retrogrades, and the awaited sign shift of Jupiter, May is one of the pivotal months of 2021.

April’s theme has a transformational tone because the month begins and ends with a high dose of Plutonian energy, which is only highlighted by this month’s Full Moon in no-nonsense Scorpio and Pluto’s retrograde turn.

Mercury enters Aries on April 4, where it remains for a little over two weeks. This is a quick but intense time for communication in general because the cardinal influence coming from Aries can make us impulsive and honest to a fault when trying to get our point across. So, until April 19, it would be best to pause and think before you send that e-mail or text. This transit can bring us fun and animated conversation so as long as we don’t get too attached to defending our ideas, we can enjoy some vibrant conversation.

The astrology forecast for March speaks to the calm and healing energies we’ve been waiting for since 2021 began. All those life lessons that we learned in 2020, now have the chance to be implemented. The timing is perfect as the new astrological year begins this month and now is the time to think about resolutions and goals for the coming year.

This month we are inundated with airy Aquarius energy. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus (which is currently traveling through Taurus), the only planet that spins on its side. And there will indeed be moments that business as usual goes sideways, if not completely upside-down.

We begin this month with Mercury retrograde in Aquarius making all forms of communication difficult and taxing. So far we’ve seen debates over freedom of speech, online “censorship” and the regulation of hate speech. And the epitome of an Aquarian name - Robinhood - suddenly restricting stocks (the realm of Taurus) including Game Stop and AMC. But we should use this energy in the best way possible and take a look at what has changed or what we’ve put aside and use Mercury to revise, rework or review. Mercury will remain retrograde for most of this month, assisting us in realigning with the many changes that will be taking place.

We have reached the other side of a year that will certainly go down in the history books. We all have been touched in some way by forces beyond our control and speaking for myself, I felt at times, rudderless. While our lives will not turn on a dime, there is healing and repair on the horizon.
