Overview for this Month: Pisces (All)
May 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:
You begin May with a lot on your mind and on your plate, dear Pisces. The focus begins to shift towards home, family, and personal affairs as the month progresses. Comfort, security, and familiarity become important goals as you seek more quiet and escape from a busy pace. Less is more for you now, and the juggling subsides.
A strong focus on the solar third house at the beginning of May suggests extra attention to your daily affairs, current projects, people close to you, and studies or interests. Transits boost your ability to express yourself warmly, kindly, and appealingly. They can also help you attract desirable projects and experiences your way. You may enjoy more communication or contact in a close relationship, and your ideas or projects get good press. You're also inclined to bring out the best in others.
Mercury and Venus head into your solar fourth house on the 3rd and 8th, and the Sun moves in on the 20th. These ingresses shift your attention to home and family, and they also facilitate warmer, more easygoing, and peaceful conditions on the domestic front. There can be real opportunities to expand, strengthen, and enhance family relationships, and on some level, you may very well find peace with your past or yourself. Some projects or ideas might go on the shelf after the 29th, when Mercury turns retrograde. Delays are possible, and pacing yourself makes sense.
Otherwise, it's a great time to bring a little more comforting order to your inner world, home, or family life. Laying down some rules, structures, and goals that strengthen you and your loved ones in fundamental ways can figure strongly. Gestures that show others you care, even if physically apart, can be powerful. You recognize the value of planning, stretching out the good things so they last longer, and exercising patience.
Still, there can be some excitement brewing in your romantic or creative life with Mars in your sector of joy all month. It's a time for special attention to favorite pastimes, hobbies, or recreation, and for some of you, a romantic relationship. You're more inclined to take the initiative in affairs of the heart, and you have more courage to create and share yourself.
You're in particularly great shape for creative learning, personal interests, romantic expression, and satisfying entertainment. You can take a hobby, project, game, or even a relationship to a new level. Benefits or rewards come from activities that engage your heart or inspire you. Strong emotions tend to push you into a new direction, and the desire to take action builds.
The New Moon on the 11th can prompt a fresh start or approach to learning, sharing, and connecting. There could be new or improved channels opening up for you to get around, reach out, and communicate. This lunation is wonderfully supportive of your projects and outlook or attitude.
The biggest headline of the month is Jupiter's move into your sign. While this Jupiter transit of Pisces lasts many months in total, it happens in three steps, the first of which lasts from May 13-July 28. Your confidence increases, and you seek out more freedom to express and enjoy yourself during this cycle that will develop further in 2022. New ideas and interests can be exciting. It's a time when you naturally put more faith in yourself and your capabilities.
Saturn begins its yearly retrograde cycle on the 23rd. Until October, you're learning more deeply about your spiritual goals, tying up loose ends, or finishing long-term projects that have outworn their purpose. It's not an ideal cycle for launches of major long-term projects, but returning to complete old projects can be rewarding.
The Full Moon on the 26th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it's another cosmic push towards finding a better balance between your home and working life or professional and personal life. You can experience an epiphany or realization as you discover your true feelings about a matter. You may be in demand now! It's a powerful time for your reputation or career matters, and you might be called on to take the lead. Aim to acknowledge new feelings that come to the surface, but sit with them before taking action.
Mercury turns retrograde on the 29th. While you might delay new initiatives surrounding home and property, reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:
May 2021 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 20th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From May 20th forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
Eclipse
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on May 26th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar tenth house. Surprises surrounding career and reputation matters may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest, for example, as a career change or challenge that you didn't expect, a surprise revelation from a coworker or boss, a new promotion or career direction dropped into your lap, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until May 8th:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From May 9th forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until May 3rd:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
Until May 4th forward:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mercury is retrograde from May 29th to June 22nd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.
Occurring in your solar fourth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, real estate matters, and domestic issues. Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. It may be challenging to keep a healthy perspective regarding deeply personal matters and family. Family members may be on edge, or appear to be. Home repairs may not turn out as expected. Try to put off major decision- making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
May 2021 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until May 9th:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.
From May 10th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
May 2021 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 10th:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.
You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.
From May 11th forward:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until May 25th:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.

Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From May 25th forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until May 18th:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
From May 19th forward:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mercury is retrograde from May 29th to June 22nd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.
Occurring in your solar fourth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, real estate matters, and domestic issues. Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. It may be challenging to keep a healthy perspective regarding deeply personal matters and family. Family members may be on edge, or appear to be. Home repairs may not turn out as expected. Try to put off major decision- making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until May 25th:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.
From May 26th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.
Overview Horoscope:
May 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:
You begin May with a lot on your mind and on your plate, dear Pisces. The focus begins to shift towards home, family, and personal affairs as the month progresses. Comfort, security, and familiarity become important goals as you seek more quiet and escape from a busy pace. Less is more for you now, and the juggling subsides.
A strong focus on the solar third house at the beginning of May suggests extra attention to your daily affairs, current projects, people close to you, and studies or interests. Transits boost your ability to express yourself warmly, kindly, and appealingly. They can also help you attract desirable projects and experiences your way. You may enjoy more communication or contact in a close relationship, and your ideas or projects get good press. You're also inclined to bring out the best in others.
Mercury and Venus head into your solar fourth house on the 3rd and 8th, and the Sun moves in on the 20th. These ingresses shift your attention to home and family, and they also facilitate warmer, more easygoing, and peaceful conditions on the domestic front. There can be real opportunities to expand, strengthen, and enhance family relationships, and on some level, you may very well find peace with your past or yourself. Some projects or ideas might go on the shelf after the 29th, when Mercury turns retrograde. Delays are possible, and pacing yourself makes sense.
Otherwise, it's a great time to bring a little more comforting order to your inner world, home, or family life. Laying down some rules, structures, and goals that strengthen you and your loved ones in fundamental ways can figure strongly. Gestures that show others you care, even if physically apart, can be powerful. You recognize the value of planning, stretching out the good things so they last longer, and exercising patience.
Still, there can be some excitement brewing in your romantic or creative life with Mars in your sector of joy all month. It's a time for special attention to favorite pastimes, hobbies, or recreation, and for some of you, a romantic relationship. You're more inclined to take the initiative in affairs of the heart, and you have more courage to create and share yourself.
You're in particularly great shape for creative learning, personal interests, romantic expression, and satisfying entertainment. You can take a hobby, project, game, or even a relationship to a new level. Benefits or rewards come from activities that engage your heart or inspire you. Strong emotions tend to push you into a new direction, and the desire to take action builds.
The New Moon on the 11th can prompt a fresh start or approach to learning, sharing, and connecting. There could be new or improved channels opening up for you to get around, reach out, and communicate. This lunation is wonderfully supportive of your projects and outlook or attitude.
The biggest headline of the month is Jupiter's move into your sign. While this Jupiter transit of Pisces lasts many months in total, it happens in three steps, the first of which lasts from May 13-July 28. Your confidence increases, and you seek out more freedom to express and enjoy yourself during this cycle that will develop further in 2022. New ideas and interests can be exciting. It's a time when you naturally put more faith in yourself and your capabilities.
Saturn begins its yearly retrograde cycle on the 23rd. Until October, you're learning more deeply about your spiritual goals, tying up loose ends, or finishing long-term projects that have outworn their purpose. It's not an ideal cycle for launches of major long-term projects, but returning to complete old projects can be rewarding.
The Full Moon on the 26th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it's another cosmic push towards finding a better balance between your home and working life or professional and personal life. You can experience an epiphany or realization as you discover your true feelings about a matter. You may be in demand now! It's a powerful time for your reputation or career matters, and you might be called on to take the lead. Aim to acknowledge new feelings that come to the surface, but sit with them before taking action.
Mercury turns retrograde on the 29th. While you might delay new initiatives surrounding home and property, reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveal lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
