MAY 2021 GLOBAL ASTROLOGICAL OVERVIEW

 

 There is an important planetary shift this month. Jupiter moves into Pisces.

Whatever sign Jupiter is passing through is where his benefits and gifts are underlined.

Jupiter moves through each sign every 12 years and spends on average 1 year there, demonstrating his task in that sign’s energy.  People with strong Pisces in their birth chart will be pleased.

 On the 13th of this month, Jupiter, makes this shift and moves away from Aquarius and temporarily only, dips his toe into Pisces, where he hovers in the very early degrees of that sign till July 28th. From then, he returns to complete his task in Aquarius, staying in that sign till December 29th.

From December 29th however, he will then return into Pisces, to commit to finalising his job there, until May 10th, 2022.

He has been in Aquarius since December 20th, 2020 and he has indeed during this period, been working alongside Saturn in the same sign, which a rare combining. This has demonstrated the amazing speed of scientific development for the greater good, not least re the development and roll out of vaccines and shifted the mood towards a need for greater humanitarianism and equality … not least racially.  The results of the pure drive of capitalism and ruthless economic growth (Strong Capricorn over the last decade or so) is showing its downside and is looking less robust in value and a realisation of the need for bigger picture wisdom, is showing its face, not least in climate change awareness and the essential need for global cooperation re planetary health, as opposed to nationalism. Big picture, more existential realisations are emerging (Aquarius).

The move into Pisces by Jupiter this month, will give us all a taste of what is to come from the end of this year, in terms of areas of development.

  The water sign of Pisces, ruled by Neptune of course, is all about the emotions, the heart, the spiritual and the artistic and indeed nature. It is a powerful influence for compassion. there is a greater sense of intuition, which sometimes, in extremis, can lead to astral illusion, not free of egotism … Positively, however it brings a great need for the heart and soul to be honoured, as opposed to just the mind and the material. Sensitivity is totally underlined, as is empathy, humanitarianism and compassion.  The sea (Neptune ruled) will become also of major focus in terms of its health and importance on our planet and love of it will really be powerful. Indeed, the human heart will be much more aware of the value of the whole natural world, for our psychological wellbeing and indeed for the health of the whole planet. The arts too will become an increasingly strong and hugely focused area, especially after recent starvation of that quality in humanity. Some major creativity of great significance in all areas of the arts will be manifest.

 The arguments against climate change happening, is already redundant and with the new Pisces influence, the power of oneness, caring and cooperation needed to protect our planet, will be indisputable. Neptune is currently (since 2012) powerfully moving through its own sign of Pisces (every165 years for 14 years) …. and now add Jupiter to the mix, and the power of this sign is clearly going to be increasingly self-evident.

 The powerful, destructive leaders in the world when it comes to their values of pure interest only in money and power, will become increasingly redundant and the forces for the heart and soul will gain in strength We have already seen the transition in the USA, in terms of leadership values and priorities and the same shifts will need to happen in many other countries, not least Brazil[LO1] .  Lip service alone to a change in values will not cut it.

 Of course, there is always a downside to any planetary position and Jupiter when in Pisces, can be OTT in that sign’s principles and qualities and therefore can bring over idealism, emotionalism, excessive fantasy, illusion and therefore escapism, including a danger of addictive behaviour, which is often a manifestation of a sensitivity to realities that are felt to be too great to tolerate and deal with.  There is also the danger of deceptions (negative Neptune). Strong emotions and idealism can be taken advantage of, and it can invite dangers via the already familiar dangers of the powers and illusions of social media influence, bringing distortions of truths and its appeal to people’s vulnerability, to a more damaging degree. The border between reality and illusion/ fantasy/lies can be very blurred when negative Pisces is manifested. The danger of the influence of ego seeking and indeed often delusional cult leaders is also flagged up, i.e., those who take advantage of others’ vulnerability, idealism and gullibility.

 The positives of this planetary position of Jupiter in Pisces, can be truly heart-warming, joyous, beautiful and indeed, evolutionary, but the dangers can be destructively illusionary. We need to be very careful and discriminating.

 The good news is that with Saturn totally remaining in Aquarius till early March 2023, we have the rational balance of his influence, alongside Jupiter in Pisces... to underline the science, truth and the pragmatism of our collective humanity’s needs and the wise use of our hearts, souls and minds, all combined in balance.

The Sun exactly conjuncts Uranus on the 1st of the month, but its influence is at work for several days either side of that date, so this period is a potential time of eruptions, literally physically, such as earthquakes and volcanic activity and/or metaphorically i.e., socio-politically. Being in Taurus, it is likely to do with our planet’s physical energy fields and possibly connected to economic issues.

 Anyway, expect the unexpected around those dates.

 Mercury in his home sign of Gemini from the 4th and then moves retrograde on the 29th of the month and stays in that mode till June 23rd.  This will, as always, be a period of delay, blocks and frustrations. and is also flagging up a period where patience is necessary, as well as probably a necessary rethink, set back and reassessment. Geminis be aware, not least Boris Johnson.

There is a total Lunar eclipse on the 26th at 5 degrees of Sagittarius. That will be a time of endings of chapters and eruptive reality checks, that have been bubbling up for some time, for some who have significant natal planets involved in that degree… Obviously though, for those born around November 28th and May 27th.

  The new Moon falls at 21 degrees of Taurus on the 11th which can be a time of new beginnings in some obvious or private way.  Again, especially true, if it connects with any strong planetary chart position you may have, but strongly anyway, obviously, for all born around May 11th/ 12th.
