A sense that things are falling into place and even improving will begin to permeate the airwaves over the next two weeks. Both Venus and Mars will return to their home signs, a new moon in flexible Gemini will offer a fresh start and Mercury’s retrograde will conclude. Adding to the optimism, Mars will conjoin Jupiter in reinvigorating Aries. Saturn however, will temper expectations as it begins its five-month-long retrograde.
Venus in Taurus
Forecast Apr 26-May 2, 2021: To Hades And Back
All three of astrology’s outer planets will be activated this week, indicating that an extraordinarily eventful week is at hand. Pluto’s fingerprints will be all over the week, starting with an unpleasant square from the waxing Libra Moon on Monday, and ending with a Moon Pluto conjunction and a constructive conversation with Mercury on Sunday.

Forecast Apr 12-18, 2021: Party Crashers
This week the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter will be behaving much like a crowd of rowdy spring breakers. Tactful Venus will step away from the ruckus when she heads into Taurus midweek, while Pluto prepares to crash a couple of the parties Aries is throwing. Like libations served to college students, the Aries sass and sauce will freely flow throughout the week.
Sun Into Pisces 2020: Riding The Waves
Mars and its Capricorn compatriots will be fighting to keep the economy on track, markets stable and business moving forward. Interestingly enough, early in this unfolding Sun cycle, a substantial and favorable alignment takes place when Jupiter sextiles Neptune on February 20th. This may be our best opportunity to combine Capricorn pragmatism with Pisces insight, to bring practical and creative solutions to pressing issues. Back on January 12th, it was of course in Capricorn where Saturn and Pluto formed their exact conjunction. Many astrologers would attribute that meeting to the current turmoil. Dozens of cases of coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, were certainly known to authorities then. At any rate, we’re in the aftermath of the outbreak now, and successfully navigating the confusion is the task at hand.
