Hope Triumphs Over Confusion: Astrology Forecast 17th – 23rd May, 2021

There’s a real mixed bag of astrological activity this week, and at times the cosmic waters are quite muddy. Nevertheless, the energy of Jupiter’s recent arrival in compassionate Pisces is still settling in, providing an underlying optimism and hope which transcends the various stop-start, awkward T-squares in operation this week, on both the fixed sign axis and the mutable axis too.

We start the week in confident fashion, with a positive trine between the Sun and Pluto on Monday – useful for getting the powers-that-be on your side or for shining a light onto corruption, manipulation or skulduggery, whether that’s in your personal life, your working life, or wider society. Things turn murkier on Tuesday, however, when the lunar T-square with Uranus and Saturn promotes stand-offs. Those who have a vested interest in the status quo aren’t going to give up the fight that easily. On a personal level, Tuesday is not the time to push your own agenda too forcefully. Persuade and motivate rather than dictate or enforce.

Wednesday’s Venus-Saturn trine is stabilising and soothing, especially where relationships or money issues have been fraught. The Taurus Sun’s final action, however, is to stir up stubborn attitudes in a loose T-square with an on-the-cusp Virgo Moon and Jupiter. Be persistent with someone who won’t see sense, but you’ll have to adapt your strategies as the energy shifts. It’s about finding out what works for your particular situation.

Once the Sun moves into fun-loving Gemini on Thursday, the atmosphere will lighten again. Talk, talk and talk some more, because the more ideas are shared and developed now, the easier change will become. The Sun’s square to idealistic Jupiter in Pisces on Friday is not as problematic as you might think; the Gemini Sun is the very embodiment of mutable energy and so the result of this tension is constructive – an intelligent adjustment of spiritual goals, or the understanding that we need to learn something new in order to open up Jupiter’s potential for healing.

Slightly more of an issue is Mercury’s square to Neptune on Saturday, which is a recipe for confusion. Rational, logical thinking is clouded here – note that at this time there is a very fine line between idealism and fantasy, and between reality and illusion. It’s one thing to be hopeful and optimistic, but when Mercury squares Neptune, we can be impossibly naive.

Look to the influence of Saturn turning retrograde on Sunday for a period of reflection and better self-understanding. When Saturn retrogrades in Aquarius, we turn our rebellion inwards, looking for the outdated patterns and self-imposed limitations which are holding us back. During this retrograde, each sign has the chance to re-invent itself, ready to face the shifting energies of this age with renewed confidence.

Aries Week Ahead

The early part of the week is ambitious and focused on your work and your income. Don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd or to draw attention to yourself. This looks likely to be a highly sociable week for you too, and a very busy one with constant errands and demands on your time. Through friends and associates, you may be reminded that you have a lot to learn. It’s important to set your ego aside for long enough to truly listen to what others are telling you. Something someone say may trigger deep memories or emotions for you, but through that, you have the opportunity to grow. Once Saturn turns retrograde, focus on the extent to which you want to fit in with those around you – are you still a little bit afraid to show your true colours? Why?
