Eclipses May/June 2021

There is a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on May 26 and a Solar Eclipse in Taurus on June 10 (time is UTC, sign calculations are based on Vedic Astrology).
Eclipses tend to bring dissatisfaction and changes to our life.
When we look at which house of our chart is influenced by the eclipses, we can see which area of our life will be affected.

The period before, in-between and after the eclipses can be a bit unstable and we are prone to make decisions that are impulsive. If we have to make a decision, it is best to think it through the best we can, and also be aware that there are elements we may not be aware of.

Mercury (communication, intellect) turns retrograde in Gemini/Taurus from May 29 to June 22. Mars (action, courage) is debilitated from June 2 until July 20. After July 20, Mars will move to Leo when it will be strong. After August 17, the Sun will enter its own sign of Leo, showing light. Until then, let us live every day mindfully.

On another note, Saturn turns retrograde from today, May 23. People may have felt frustrated lately that things are not going as quickly as they would like. Saturn is a very slow planet. There may not be any development in the coming few weeks, so patience is required. If you think there is, it might be the eclipses influencing the events as they can bring some kind of illusion so please have patience and be on the cautious side. Om Shanti.
