Saturn will station retrograde in Aquarius on May 23rd and continue this motion until October 10th, 2021. We should hold off starting any important long-term projects if possible until Saturn stations direct, as this is a time for reflection and review. If you know what house in your chart has Aquarius on the cusp, consider especially that area of your life. There may be matters that need some adjustments or rethinking.
Sun Enters Gemini
The Sun enters Gemini on Thursday, May 20th at 2:37 pm CDT. While the Sun was in Taurus, we focused more on establishing ourselves and securing tangible assets; now, we should direct our attention to making adjustments or modifications using our mental abilities and connecting with others. Notice what you learn when you are more engaged and curious about the world around you. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which is also in Gemini right now about to station retrograde, so the next four weeks may have us rethinking some issues and exploring new ideas about moving forward.
Jupiter Enters Pisces
Jupiter finally leaves Aquarius and enters Pisces on Thursday, May 13th at exactly 5:36 pm CDT and will stay here until July 28th. Jupiter’s time in Pisces will only be 11 weeks as it has a retrograde cycle coming up on June 20th that will push it back into Aquarius. Jupiter is much happier in Pisces, where its emotional optimism is welcomed, and its search for the deeper meanings behind matters is honored. We should also expect to see artistic and creative projects getting much more attention over the next couple of months as we reprioritize their role in our culture.
Venus Enters Gemini
Venus leaves Taurus and enters Gemini at exactly 9:01 pm CDT on Saturday, May 8th. Venus will stay in Gemini until June 2nd. It is time for us to focus on communicating what we desire and expect from others. We should also shift our focus to those in our lives with who we can have an easy conversation or share a joke as they will become more important to us.
Mercury Enters Gemini
Mercury enters Gemini on Monday, May 3rd, at precisely 9:49 pm CDT. Mercury will finally be back in one of its home signs increasing Mercury’s power and ability to express itself. The end of May will also feature a Mercury retrograde that will last from May 29th until June 22nd, so get things in order now and prepare for a complicated June.
Astrology for May
Mars Enters Cancer
Mars entered Cancer Friday, April 23rd at exactly 6:49 am CDT. Mars will stay in this water sign until June 11th, 2021. The next couple of months should be spent slowing down a little and working with our emotions more. The Moon will now rule Mars, so emotions may be all over the place. We must remember to prioritize processing our feelings before acting on them.
Sun Enters Taurus
The Sun leaves Aries and enters Taurus at 3:33 pm CDT, April 19th dissipating the intensity of the last few weeks into something more foundational and deliberate. We are ready to transition into a more security-focused and intentional space. The next four weeks should be spent focusing on how we can achieve some comfort and stability, not just for ourselves but for others as well.
Mercury Enters Taurus
On Monday, April 19th, Mercury will enter Taurus at 5:29 am CDT after spending the last three weeks in Aries. During that time, we focused on brainstorming new ideas and initiating conversations. We should now focus on which of those ideas has the power to last and which conversations can lead us somewhere productive. Shift your attention to the ideas you want to focus on for the next three weeks.
Venus Enters Taurus
On Wednesday, April 14th, Venus leaves Aries and enters Taurus at exactly 1:22 pm CDT. Relationship and financial matters begin to start to settle into something more permanent, and we are focusing on situations that have actual staying power and provide us with some security. We should also prioritize our own comfort and look into how we can incorporate a little more indulgence in our lives.
New Moon in Aries
There will be a New Moon in Aries Sunday, April 11th, at precisely 9:31 pm CDT. New Moons are a time to reset and rework matters. Start working on a new plan for the next month; consider what are your goals right now? What would you like to start focusing more on?
Venus and Mercury are near the Sun and Moon during this New Moon, indicating that we should rethink how we approach others. How can we combine forces with others who feel similarly passionate as us? This New Moon may remind us that it is not always best to go after our desires alone.
Mercury Enters Aries
On Saturday, April 3rd, at 11:41 pm, Mercury will leave Pisces and enter Aries. I think we are all more than ready to leave the fogginess behind us and now communicate with much more focused intention. We will finally be more confident in our mental capacities and how we share information with others. We can also better initiate conversations with others, so reach out to someone you haven’t spoken with in a while, and be sure to incorporate mentally stimulating activities and release any pent-up thoughts or ideas.

Venus Enters Aries
Venus leaves Pisces and enters Aries on Sunday, March 21st. Relationships will shift away from a desire to merge and connect with others emotionally to a more action-orientated form of expression. We should now focus more on initiating new relationships and behaving with our true intentions towards others in mind.
Sun Enters Aries
On Saturday, March 20th, the Sun will enter Aries at exactly 4:37 am CDT marking the spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the fall equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. This also means we will finally have a planet in a fire sign! If you’ve been feeling especially unmotivated over the last few months, the Sun entering Aries will help us feel more energized, passionate, and ready to take the initiative.
Mercury Enters Pisces
On March 15th at precisely 5:26 pm, Pisces leaves Aquarius and enters sensitive and intuitive Pisces for a three-week stay. We should expect to have more intuitive thoughts, ideas, and exchanges of more sensitive and sincere information. Mercury is in Fall and Detriment in Pisces because communications, thoughts, and ideas can be a bit nebulous or unclear. But if we are properly prepared, we can actually take advantage of this by prioritizing sensitive matters and things that require creativity.
Mars Enters Gemini
Mars leaves Taurus and enters Gemini on Wednesday, March 3rd, at exactly 9:30 pm CST. Mars’ ruler will also change from Venus to Mercury, meaning we should expect a lot more conversations, verbal debates, and possibly fighting for others’ attention. Mars also moves into a mutable sign, so our actions will be less fixed, but we will be more flexible and adaptable. Also, Mars has been in a contentious relationship with Saturn for most of the last year, making matters stall and leaving us frustrated; this move into Gemini will lighten a lot of that tension.
March's Astrology
Venus Enters Pisces
On February 25th at 7:11 am CST, Venus will leave Aquarius and enter Pisces. Venus will stay here until March 21st. Venus enjoys their time in Pisces as it is a sign where we consider it “exalted,” meaning Venus is treated like an honored guest. Since Pisces is a Jupiter ruled sign and its ruler is currently in Aquarius, this will be a less dreamy version of Venus in Pisces, but we still have that sense of being concerned with the greater good.
