Areas of Expansion in 2021 for Pisces:

Your Pisces 2021 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

• Spirituality
• Rest
• Inner World
• Emotional Health
• Personality
• Body Image
• Physical Health
• Courage & Initiative

Until May 13th, 2021, and then July 28th-December 28th, 2021,your spiritual world, compassion, private life, and tolerance expand and grow. This is a period for looking within and learning of your inner strength. It’s also a time for appreciating some level of solitude.

Matters from the past are magnified in your life now. You tend to sort through the attitudes that serve you well, and the behaviors that need to go in order for you to grow and improve – a cycle that lasts for the most part until December 2021 when Jupiter moves on and into your sign and you are ready to share yourself more fully with the world. Note that Jupiter will enter Pisces before this date for several weeks in 2021 (May 13-July 28, 2021) but will return to the sign behind yours to finish up its transit until December 2021.

This is generally a warm, protective cycle, although with Jupiter in the background in your chart, there may be some sense that you are not truly living or experiencing your life to the fullest, or that your joy in life is not as obvious to others.

With increased activity in the sector of your chart that rules private matters, anonymity, healing, and endings, this is one of the more withdrawn, reflective periods of your life. You may be exploring the hidden elements of life or developing your spirituality now.

You are especially and more notably compassionate and empathetic. This can be a powerful period for volunteer work, or for work done behind the scenes, in private, or in the helping professions.

Potential challenges: Escapism. You might often be tempted to escape your everyday responsibilities and challenges, and should avoid reliance on drugs, drinking, or other “glamorous” forms of escape.

Jupiter’s influence is generally considered positive, and it is, ultimately. However, it acts to magnify the area of the chart that it affects, and at times it can be uncomfortable if you are having difficulties in this area. In your case, if you are lonely or if you feel helpless, and if you have trouble facing your past, then this influence can heighten these issues. Ultimately, it’s for the good. The cosmos asks you now to surrender some of your attachments and to surrender to the unknown.

Releasing control is necessary. Building your faith is the work you are doing now. While your tendency is to play a supportive role to others, if taken too far, you will need to draw some boundaries when it comes to your energy and time. There can be some strains on mental and physical health.

There is stronger joy in being of service to others, but do be careful that you take care of yourself as well.

Still, for the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. Your perceptions heighten. Your ability to make sacrifices increases, and you can build your confidence in yourself as you help and support others.

Your career may involve work behind the scenes or an otherwise hidden theme. You may be in a processing or hatching stage with a venture. This can be a time of some lack of recognition or discretion, or you’re simply functioning as the power behind the throne. Investigations, research, volunteer work, counseling, consultation, medicine, support, and psychology can be beneficial pursuits at this time.

Interestingly, another influence on the very same areas of life, outlined below in the Areas of Contraction section, is a contracting influence. This means that you can reach a wonderful balance. With self-discipline, you find more joy and confidence. This can be a time for working on a project in advance of a launch date or for putting a long-term project behind you.

From May 13-July 28, 2021, and then from December 28th onward,Jupiter is in your sign! This transit lasts many months and comes only every twelve years, serving to bring you out of your shell. You’re ready to take on the world!

This influence spans three date ranges, and we’re on the first wave this year:

• from May 13-July 28, 2021,
• from December 28, 2021-May 10, 2022,
• and from October 28, 2022-December 20, 2022

It may sound complicated, but it just means that you’re experiencing these themes in steps, starting this year from May to July.

This is a time for exploring your needs and pursuing your dreams. Your personality, image, body image, and self-confidence expand to new levels with Jupiter in your sign. You are seeing whole new possibilities, and your vision of life is panoramic.

If you’ve done your inner “work” well while Jupiter was transiting your solar twelfth house, this can be an especially rewarding period. Your confidence in yourself and faith in the world are growing exponentially. Freedom is something you seek, but be wary of the costs of freedom when it’s pursued without the necessary attention to responsibilities.

You are more willing to enjoy new experiences and to rid yourself of those things that have been holding you back from truly living and owning your life.

There can be new projects begun now that have long-term potential. You may not yet know where you’re headed with them, but you’re certainly enthusiastic about beginning anew. You experience a powerful initiative at this time in your life.

Expanding your horizons through higher learning might also figure strongly. This is a time for aligning your behavior with what you believe is right. You are taking more “me” time, which is in fact long overdue.

Because Jupiter is the natural ruler of your solar tenth house, your new beginnings can very much tie in with a matter related to your career, life path, direction, responsibilities, or reputation.

Your career, public standing, reputation, or life path can be stronger influences in your life during this period. You could be leading, your own boss, or working in a self-directed manner. You may be working on your own turf or through your own initiative and calling the shots. Your professional success is related to the expression of your personality, the confidence in your initiative, or your body, appearance, or image.

You are seeking out a new beginning – a fresh start, of sorts – and your desire to do right is especially strong. Work or projects that you have been working on in private or behind the scenes may now begin to pay off. There is less focus on serving and helping others now, perhaps because this is no longer as necessary (for example, a child can go off to college, or even the end of a relationship that took up a lot of your energy and resources, from which you are now enjoying some level of freedom), and now you can put some of your personal interests on the front burner.

You won’t feel like sitting around during this period of your life. You are hungry for new experiences. Everyday stresses that may have frustrated you in the past now seem almost inconsequential, as your vision is lifted above the mundane. As such, your ability to manage stress and pressure increases. You are more tolerant in your attitude towards others, and you’re considerably more confident about expressing the playful, creative, and fun side to your personality.

It can be a time of increased personal meaning and purpose. Personal initiative is strong. You may be working on healing any problems with presenting yourself confidently or self-image issues.

Potential problems: Weight gain, pompous behavior, restlessness, over-confidence, wastefulness, and excesses,in general, are potential pitfalls when the energies of Jupiter are taken too far. See to it that these things don’t ruin an otherwise excellent period. As well, in your desire to start over, watch that you don’t blind yourself to certain essentials and responsibilities.

There might also be times when others can feel threatened by your newfound displays of freedom and independence, when your personal desires are greater than your means, or when you have troubles with self-discipline, budgets, and limits.

Otherwise, this can be a time of opportunity. You might choose to pursue a new channel for self-expression or mental interest with great passion. There can be a strong sense of release and freedom from previously limiting, rigid, or stifling conditions.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity: Inner World, Spirituality, Privacy

Your Pisces 2021 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.

All year, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that governs spirituality and retreat. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life–as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence only just got started last year. While it wove in and out of influence in 2020, you experience it consistently in 2021. It lasts until March 2023.

It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Pisces. This year, it will influence those born from approximately February 20-March 4 and with a Pisces Ascendant of 1-14 degrees the most. The rest of the sign will feel its influence more directly later on.

All that lies beneath the surface in your life is now coming up for inspection, and you are forced to do some serious “spring cleaning” of your psyche. Getting rid of outdated attachments, and examining and discarding irrational fears, is not only necessary for further growth and development — it’s ultimately a huge relief.

Do your best not to dwell on past failures or guilt for what you haven’t done during this cycle. Detach yourself from these things as much as possible. Aim to put things to rest.

This can also be a time when you give of yourself to others, as you are valuing charity more than usual. You could be struggling with issues of self-worth, and this is a fine time to really explore what it is that holds you back from going after what you want and deserve in life.

You could feel that you are dealing with endings more than new beginnings in some areas of life during this transit, as you let go of outdated attachments and unconsciously prepare yourself for Saturn’s transit of Pisces beginning in March 2023, when you will work diligently on reworking your individuality and personal identity. You are somewhat introspective at this time and you might isolate yourself from others in some manner—a process that tends to come naturally at this point.

There can be a retiring, somewhat withdrawn, or private element to your personality during this phase. You may need to watch that people in your life don’t feel rejected by your withdrawal. Health issues, generally of a psychosomatic nature, may come to the fore. You may be attracted to alternative ways of living, and to self-study fields, such as psychoanalysis.

There can be much to learn and enjoy during this cycle. With Saturn in the background of your chart, you might often feel quite free of constraints. The last time Saturn moved through Aquarius as it is doing now was from 1991 to early 1994, and if you were alive or old enough to remember the circ*mstances of your life then, similar themes can emerge now.

You might keep your fondest hopes, wishes, or plans closer to the chest during this cycle. There could be hidden elements to your social life.

In 2021, with Jupiter concurrently transiting this area of your chart for many months of the year, you’ll find more joy, pleasure, and confidence in taking care of your spiritual needs and regarding your increased self-discipline.

From February to November, there is particularly good support for these efforts. You can be working on a money-making idea or on a boost to your sense of self-worth or self-esteem with great success. You’re learning to use your resources more effectively. Working on healing your fear of loss of your resources can be highly useful at this time.

Also during this same timeline, you might deal with vague fears and insecurities that undermine your confidence in your mental output. Decision-making can suffer as a result. You are not always completely sure what to believe or trust. Watch that fear of letting others in or the discovery of past mistakes doesn’t interfere with communicating and connecting freely.

You could be working on a project in solitude or behind the scenes, and when you do come out with it, it could be quite profitable.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed in 2021: Communications, Connections, and Transportation

Your 2021 Pisces Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

All year, a long-term cycle establishes itself for the coming years (until 2026). This influence revolutionizes the ways you communicate and connect with the world around you.

During this cycle, communications, learning, and connections may be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You are opening up and expressing your more unique ideas.

Your daily life is bound to be very colorful. Regular encounters with neighbors, relatives, and acquaintances, as well as everyday activities and business activities, are all changing quite dramatically. In addition, your basic mental attitudes are evolving. Your interests can become quite eclectic during this cycle. Studies may be erratic, inspired, or part-time.

Relationships with acquaintances, neighbors, students, and siblings, and learning endeavors are exciting and engaging. You may become aware of some new and especially useful information, which puts a whole new slant on your life.

There can be times when you feel a little scattered or when dabbling can leave you feeling overwhelmed. Concentration and focus are not your strong suits at this time.

Your personal interests expand, and your ideas are different, unconventional, and innovative. New technologies or methods can open up new experiences or channels for transportation and communication.

While you’re not typically a person who blurts things out too quickly, this can be a theme now and in coming years! Be sure you make words work for instead of against you.

In 2021, you benefit greatly from a quirky, open, and honest style. However, an up-and-down approach can sometimes work against you, particularly as Uranus clashes with Jupiter and then Saturn in your privacy sector frequently this year. While you’re working on answering to your intuition, you may not always have a lot of faith in your instincts, often overthinking things. Watch for communicating too quickly or compulsively, as you may be self-sabotaging. Your timing can be a little off if you can’t quite trust your instincts and intuition.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation

Your 2021 Pisces Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.” The following areas are the major areas of transformation for you in 2021:

• Friendships
• Groups
• Home & Family
• Career or Public Life
• Life Path

Attitudes towards friends and group involvements continue to transform this year. This period is excellent for publishing, networking, and connecting. You’re in a strong position to advance your interests through your connections with others, and the experiences you have are rewarding, educational, and empowering, to boot.

Happiness and fulfillment through the expansion of your mind, widening your social circle, and connections to people of a different cultural background than you are indicated. Your idealistic nature is stimulated, and you are likely to yearn for a connection to more spiritual or idealistic pursuits. You gain a stronger sense of belonging through connection to something larger than yourself.

While changes can be unsettling at times, opportunities through these changes are likely to present themselves. Friendships or group associations that haven’t empowered you or are no longer doing so may be left behind, but this makes room for more authentic, empowering connections. This year is less dramatic than it was last year with this theme rather status quo (in 2020, it was magnified).

Eclipses this year continue to challenge you to find a better balance between your personal and professional or public life.

Continuing from last year, it would benefit you to pay more attention to home and family life, especially — this is where you find your greatest joy and challenge. There is a real need to get your domestic life into order, as this can bring fantastic benefits and much joy to your life. While public and personal lives seem to compete, you have every opportunity to come to the right balance. This influence is particularly strong in May, June, and December, but unfolds through most of 2021.

Near the end of the year, a newer theme that will develop and color 2022 begins. This one is about communications, transportation, personal interests, and studies. In these areas of life, you’re likely to see important changes, beginning with the Lunar Eclipse on November 19th.

With the North Node moving through your solar fourth house in 2021, many Pisces and Pisces rising people will be moving or preparing to move, rearranging their homes, or improving their living arrangements and/or conditions.

Your Planetary Rulers in 2021: Neptune and Jupiter are your planetary rulers. Neptune is in your sign again, all year, reminding you of your special magic. This transit is with you for many years to come!

Jupiter spends most of the year in Aquarius, the sign just behind yours, which can point to a more introspective, reflective, and passive theme. Jupiter is transitioning into your sign, but it does so in steps. In 2021, Jupiter is in your own sign from May 13-July 28, and then December 28th forward. You’re dipping your toe into the water, experimenting with a more outgoing, connected, and confident “you.” While Jupiter is in Pisces this year and next, you’ll feel very much in your own terms.

Note Jupiter and Neptune retrograde periods–when you’re more naturally observing more than acting or pushing forward:

Jupiter is retrograde from June 20 to October 18th in 2021, and Neptune is retrograde from June 25th to December 1st.

*It’s important to note that birthdates for Sun signs are always approximate since the starting date and time varies a bit every single year. If you were born on one of these cutoff dates (commonly known as a “cusp”), you can get a definitive answer using a Sun Sign Calculator. You can also write reports@cafeastrology.com with your birth information and we can let you know your true Sun sign if you were born on or beside the approximate date range given for any sign of the zodiac.

**If you want to know your Ascendant, find out with an Ascendant calculator, such as our What’s My Ascendant?, but do note that an Ascendant cannot be determined for unknown birth times. Note that the modern Ascendant calculators use a timezone atlas that is very precise for dates after 1970, but there are nuances for birthdates before 1970 that are better captured in the Free Report section.
