Hello, there! You might have come to this page looking for the monthly horoscopes. In order to redirect some of my attention to other things that I have cooking behind the scenes - like my new book (which will be dropping in August 2021), I’ve decided to step back from the monthlies for the time being. Though I do leave you in good hands with a crazy talented up-and-coming astrologer - Six. You can find Six’s monthly horoscopes on Bustle.
I’ll still be doing the daily horoscopes for Bustle as scheduled.
Though if you haven’t checked out my horoscopes for the year, head over to Tarot.com and read my Yearly Horoscopes for 2021 as well as my Love Horoscopes for 2021.
Here’s to good and necessary changes for the new year!

The year started off with a bang and it's coming to a close with one, too. That's because of a game-changing Solar Eclipse in philosophical and freedom-loving Sagittarius on Dec. 14. The goal of this eclipse is to help us break free of the need to know it all, the need to be right, and the need to indulge every selfish whim. That said, we can expect this eclipse to show us where we need to be more thoughtful of others, make peace with uncertainty, and where need to stand up in support of justice, fairness, and ethics.
We can also expect the themes of community, equality, and doing what's right to be the primary focus this month, as we're called to think globally and act locally going forward.

It's an action-packed month, and the action starts with Mercury retrograde coming to an end on November 3. With Mercury in fair-minded Libra until the 10th, we can expect an influx of information and conversations focused on justice, equality, and integrity. Come the 10th, chatty Mercury re-enters detective-like Scorpio, which should again bring secrets and exposés to collective conversation, all the while encouraging us to do our research and trust our instincts. On the 13th, the momentum goes into hyperdrive as Mars retrograde finally ends and Mars begins moving forward again in fast and furious Aries, which will heighten our energy, libido, and of course, our temper. If things have felt stuck and slow-moving up until this point, Mars in Aries direct will thrust us forward.
The action continues on the 15th, courtesy of an emotionally-charged New Moon in all-or-nothing Scorpio, which pushes us to reach down deep to find the courage to confront our worst fears and fight for what we want, especially as love planet Venus moves to Scorpio on the 21st. Also on the 21st, the confident Sun gallops into adventurous and enthusiastic Sagittarius. During Sagittarius season, we're called toward growth, excitement, and boldly living our truth. Since Sagittarius is a sign cares deeply about the beliefs and philosophies that shape us, as well as doing what's morally right, this could be a time when many of us may find ourselves fighting for what we believe in.
The month ends on a crescendo with a power-packed Lunar Eclipse in stimulating Gemini on November 30. As eclipses are the cosmic harbingers of change, we should expect this eclipse to reveal a shocking secret or expose information that forces us to take an active stance in improving or saving our future.

Expect September to be a month of accountability as the planets gather together to help us to see the ways in which our words, values, and beliefs are out of alignment with our actions, and the steps we can take to set things straight.The month opens with an emotional Full Moon in compassionate Pisces on Sept 2, which highlights the ways our beliefs shape how we treat others and how we’re treated in return. For some of us, this full moon will show us where we need healthier boundaries or to be more selflessly giving.
Come the 5th, chatty Mercury moves into fair and objective Libra, pushing for more communications, negotiations, and decisions where everyone feels valued and heard. The next day, love planet Venus moves into bold and passionate Leo, which not only encourages us to love what’s special about ourselves, but also encourages us to envision how much better our world would look if everyone (especially our unsung heroes) were treated like they were special, too.
On September 9th, things come to a grinding halt as action-oriented Mars begins its two-month retrograde in headstrong Aries. With Mars retrograde it’s time to slow down, reassess our actions, as well as our relationship to anger, and figure out how best to move forward. Between expansive Jupiter moving forward again in ambitious Capricorn on September 12 and a New Moon in disciplined Virgo on September 17, whatever actions we do take will require patience and some level of personal responsibility, particularly as no-nonsense Saturn begins moving forward again (September 29) in Capricorn as well.
Change is in the air once again as the month opens with a super-charged lunar eclipse in no-nonsense Capricorn on July 5. As lunar eclipses mark endings, letting go, and completion, this eclipse pushes us to confront our fears and address our anger, as well as break free of outdated beliefs, crushing individualism, and narrow-mindedness.
With serious Saturn (Capricorn's planetary ruler) still in retrograde and dipping back into Capricorn on July 1, the theme for the month will center on dismantling the systems, contracts, and norms that leave us feeling stuck and powerless. Come July 12, when communicative Mercury begins moving forward again in intuitive Cancer, we're called to move forward, too, and leave the past behind.
On the 20th, we get a new moon in Cancer (the second one in a month), though with this new moon in a super-tense standoff with somber Saturn, it may be hard (or at least feel like it is) to get plans and initiatives off the ground. So as not to get discouraged, we're encouraged to reach down deep for some hope, inspiration, and a stick-to-it approach to see ourselves and each other through.
Come July 22, the tension in the air dissipates a bit as the Sun moves home to warm and confident Leo, putting the spotlight on joy, generosity, and integrity, as well as our ability to fully show up for ourselves, as ourselves.

June begins with a game-changing Lunar Eclipse in philosophical and adventurous Sagittarius (June 5), which pushes us to let go of outdated or counterproductive beliefs, thinking, and habits (especially where love and relationships are concerned). This eclipse will also demand that we improve our fact-checking abilities, and focus on small, incremental goal setting.
Fact-checking and keeping things simple will be particularly important when communicative Mercury goes retrograde in intuitive Cancer on the 18th. As Mercury retrograde periods are better for tying up loose ends rather than beginning new projects, Mercury retrograde in Cancer will also make it difficult to remain objective; making it a better time for sorting out emotional entanglements or matters relating to home and family finances.
By the 20th, the summer officially kicks off, bringing Cancer season along with it, putting the focus on our emotional security and nourishment, especially with the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on June 21. Under this eclipse we can expect emotions to be running high, making self-care and tenderness important. Additionally, this eclipse will push us to focus on things that bring internal reward rather than external.
The month opens with a Full Moon in powerful and passionate Scorpio (May 7), which pushes us to focus on our healing, acts of selflessness, and re-imagining the workplace. With hardworking Saturn going retrograde on May 11 and Mars moving to Pisces on the 13th, we can expect little emphasis on productivity and more emphasis on reevaluating our commitments to others and getting the rest we need.
Our values and relationships also come up for a review as Venus goes retrograde on the 13th in communicative and curious Gemini. With Mercury moving home to Gemini on the 11th, there will be lots of chatter in the air, particularly when it comes to addressing issues within our partnerships and connections.Meanwhile, on May 14, bountiful Jupiter goes retrograde in no-nonsense Capricorn, which asks us to look before we leap and conserve what we have. On the 20th, the Sun enters Gemini, bringing the attention to how we think, the information we're sharing and consuming, and the importance of staying flexible.
The New Moon in Gemini on May 22, provides us with some ideas on how we can best move forward, but we'll need to be willing to face some hard truths and make some dramatic changes to do so. With communicative Mercury entering tenderhearted Cancer on the 28th, intuition becomes our superpower.
April is shaping up to be quite an action-packed month thanks to love planet Venus entering bubbly and communicative Gemini on April 3, an intense Full Moon in partnership-oriented Libra on April 7, and chatty Mercury moving into fiery Aries on April 11. As a result, we can expect the first half of the month to be largely focused on maintaining and balancing the connections we share with others.
Come April 19, Taurus season officially kicks off as the confident Sun leaves go-getter Aries for pleasure and value-driven Taurus. For those of us that could use some extra pampering and care, Taurus season encourages us to seek comfort where we can, whether it's through art, a homemade meal, or a moisturizing sheet mask.
Still there could be some frustration in the air under a difficult New Moon in Taurus on April 22. We might experience some irritation in getting what we want or see a heightened uproar around sustainability and inequality. The new moon continues this month's theme by pushing us to double-check our priorities and come up with new approaches in getting what we want, while making sure there's enough to go around.
With power-hungry Pluto going retrograde in Capricorn on April 25, we'll definitely be called to dive deep and confront things we might want to avoid. Luckily, with chatty Mercury entering Taurus on the 27th, we can make some practical decisions and find some hands-on solutions along the way.

If last month felt like a roller-coaster, the first half of March gives us time to chill as charming Venus enters sensual Taurus on Mar. 4, inviting us to slow down and find pleasure in the everyday. Since chatty Mercury will be dipping back into unconventional Aquarius on that same day as well, which could make the vibe a bit frantic, Venus in Taurus will help smooth things out.
Come Mar. 9, Mercury retrograde comes to a close. On the same day, the Full Moon in health-conscious Virgo pushes us to engage activities that help with relieving stress and breaking unhealthy habits. On the 16th, Mercury re-enters dreamy Pisces, helping us calm our minds and close out anything that may have been left up in the air during Mercury retrograde.
