JUPITER ENTERS PISCES FOR A BRIEF STAY ON 13 MAY 2021 After a really quick run through the sign of Aquarius, Jupiter will briefly enter the sign of Pisces on the 13th of May where it will remain for 76 days after which it will retrograde back into Aquarius on the 28th July.

Only hours before Pluto stations retrograde we will have a Full Moon at 7°06’ Scorpio (antiscion 22°54’ Aquarius). Full Moons are also known to be times when things climax, when we decide that enough is enough for certain aspects of our life because we avert an intensified conflict between two major areas of our life and we need to find a way to honour both. They shine a light on the area that is “hidden” and in this case, in traditional astrology, all matters concerning the 8th house and [...]
