What’s the forecast for 2021?
A look at the year head with our regular horoscopes contributor Sharan (tarotbysharan.com).
After a very limiting and restricted 2020, it’s going to feel liberating to experience freedom in 2021. This freedom will come in the form of an experience of inner liberation, despite the constrictions of our external circumstances. We will find or discover ways to operate within the confines of our newfound reality, hence feeling free.
Adaptability and change will be our constant. Finding our stability in what has been a very undulating 2020 has been at the top of everyone’s agenda. Happily, financial stability is forecast for 2021. If you’ve been the one holding the ship together during the past 12 months, some relief will allow you to loosen the reins a little. The focus shifts towards you; it’s a move towards your calling and desires. You’re not being told to abandon your responsibilities but rather to give yourself some breathing space and do what makes you happy – like picking up a new hobby or learning new skills.
2021 will also be a year where you implement radical changes in your life; but be sure to balance your heart and mind when it comes to making these changes. They will determine your life course over the next few years so be sure you match logic with your heart’s desires.
This is a year of expansion and growth, some change will be initiated by you, and some of it will be unexpected. The unexpected changes may disrupt your flow but be sure to keep up and be open and receptive at all times. There is something to learn in everything. If things get challenging and overwhelming this year – which they most certainly will – be sure to reach out and collaborate, form a partnership or seek help in the form of a coach, perhaps. If there is anything to learn from 2020, it’s that you are never alone and there is always someone you can turn to in your times of need.
Good luck for 2021; wishing everyone a much more stable year ahead!
Forecast by Zodiac Signs
2021 Forecast for Aries (21 Mar – 19 Apr)
It feels like Aries needs a period of recovery from 2020 before it can kick-start 2021 with a bang. You’ve done some hard hustling but it has paid off. However, you know you can’t carry on the way you have been operating. Changes are required in the way you hustle or look for work this year. If you carry on the way you’ve been going, you’ll most likely hit a plateau or start to feel very frustrated.
The second quarter is all about managing your emotional loss with a very unbiased and logical mind. Move your focus to what you still have around you and build on that instead. Being an Aries, it’s easy for you to act out your emotions before processing things in your mind. You will master that art this year. Part of the approach will also include learning to trust your instincts.
The final quarter brings good news about money. It’s also a time to pursue new business ideas or a new career. You look like you’re in a more balanced place in your life and nothing feels too overwhelming for you. All you have to do is to be open to opportunities and be fearless – which I feel you’ll have no trouble with at all!
2021 Forecast for Taurus (20 Apr – 20 May)
Overall, it’s a successful year for achieving your goals. Strategising your moves is essential when it comes to becoming an all-rounder. One of your goals for the year will be to become a much more balanced individual – one who is able to provide financially as well as being available in a compassionate and empathetic manner for your family.
Take time to pause and reflect on your actions. If you wish to remain successful in your endeavours, it may be necessary to take check of where you’re at in your journey just to ensure you haven’t veered off. You find yourself compelled to move away from situations, people or opportunities that don’t fit with your ‘project happy’. The need to seek growth through learning is important to you. Picking up new projects or entering the world of entrepreneurship may be your calling this year. Or perhaps a side hustle, to test the waters before diving into entrepreneurship full-time.
2021 Forecast for Gemini (21 May – 20 Jun)
It isn’t looking like it’s going to be a particularly smooth-sailing year for Gemini but it does feel like it will be important to work at laying the foundation for what you wish to achieve. Your confidence looks a bit rattled as the year begins. Things don’t appear to be what they are and you aren’t feeling very in control of things around you. You find your usual bubbly self and gung-ho attitude starting to retreat. You’ll possibly be feeling wounded as well.
But it will also be a time to learn and understand what triggered it all. Things do feel more upbeat around the work or the business front in the second quarter. There are money opportunities around too, but they involve collaboration or forming a partnership. The journey begins but there is also more hard work to follow. You aren’t going to be making a windfall this year and you may find your outgoings exceeding your incomings. But don’t make the mistake of viewing your outgoings as expenses; instead, view them as an investment. And it is these outgoings that will seal your future or success.
Things will definitely be moving forward with your hard work and meticulousness, even if they don’t provide much in the way of physical results. What you really will be doing this year will be laying a solid foundation for yourself and acquiring the wisdom you need. Be creative and don’t be afraid to dream in 2021!
2021 Forecast for Cancer (21 Jun – 22 Jul)
It’s a fragile year ahead for Cancer. You will be riddled with challenges and many times feel like you have made progress only to take two steps back down the road. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to change your game plan altogether; just make some tweaks as you go along. The setbacks will be inevitable but there will be something to take away from everything.
You find yourself toning down your bold and confident attitude because it seems to be rubbing people the wrong way for a start. If you find the characters in your life getting defensive, the best thing would be to walk away rather than to have a confrontation. The second quarter is spent mostly with family and improving the home you live in – or maybe even house hunting! The need to start afresh seems to be very strong.
You’ve got more fire to fight with people around you in the third quarter. They are either jealous of your progress or just don’t agree with you. This can be anyone, not just your colleagues or competitors. It could also be your spouse! It’s a tricky situation to be in and not one where you will know how to deal with it instantly. Be sensitive about the situation and deal with it slowly.
Despite everything, you’ll be grateful for the experiences of 2021, and you won’t feel like you could have found a better teacher for the lessons you learnt. Things aren’t particularly “over” though; you could be faced with one final lesson before the year ends.
2021 Forecast for Leo (23 Jul – 22 Aug)
The middle path feels like a safe one this year for Leo. The need for moderation and balance weighs heavily on you during the first quarter of the year. You have taken on more than you can chew while things are successful; the best thing would be to step away or hand over the reins to someone else while you go in search of a more fulfilling path.
On the whole, it’s a relatively calm year ahead. You may find yourself taking more time out or going on a path of spirituality. Trying to stay on top of the competition isn’t something that will drive you this year. Whatever path you choose, it may not necessarily be an easy one. It may take a lot of patience and perhaps retreating and socialising a lot less. The type of relationship-building that you will find more attractive will be the one you do with yourself. However, play your cards well or you could be burning bridges here. It’s important to have your feet on the ground always, even when you’re seeking different perspectives this year.
2021 Forecast for Virgo (23 Aug – 22 Sep)
There’s a lot to take in for Virgo in 2021. It’s not a time for sitting around and doing nothing. The work you put in may not produce physical results but it still needs to be done. You’re building a foundation for yourself. No matter how much you plan things, they aren’t really going to go as planned. So, don’t bother being detailed and meticulous in the first quarter. It would be easier to just go with the flow.
In the second quarter, you may find your time being used to keep the harmony around conflicts. It will be quite a testing time as this will turn out to be a struggle. For the Virgos in a relationship, money issues may cause a strain. The best way around this would be to manage your expectations and spend within your means. If you’re planning home improvements, it may be a wise idea to do some of it yourself by learning some DIY techniques (from YouTube, for example).
The year’s end will be a busy one, as you try to juggle managing family and new work. It may be something new to you and will involve lots of learning. So be sure to pace yourself in those final months!
2021 Forecast for Libra (23 Sep – 22 Oct)
The focus is very much on the material aspect of your life in 2021. You’re embarking on a new venture or project and will be very focused on moving forward with plans to make things happen for yourself. It may be an idea to start a business, pursue a PhD or maybe just begin a new hobby. The idea is to get things moving in your life. Despite the uncertain times, you seem very pleased with your progress in the second quarter and continue to refine your plans to get to where you want to be.
Your outlook for life is a very positive one, and it’s focused on rebuilding yourself and your life this year. You have spent a lot of time in introspection and have realised which are the areas in your life that need a solid foundation to flourish from. And you’re spending the year doing just that. There is no time pressure on this but your determination will be your drive to set things in place so you can grow. Be bold and brave, and explore beyond your limitations. This is the year to dream and to lay your plans to achieve them. You’ve come very far and now is the time to think about you and what you wish to achieve in the coming years for yourself.
2021 Forecast for Scorpio (23 Oct – 21 Nov)
It’s a fantastic year if you’re planning to grow your pot or look for investment opportunities. However, you need to take some risks in order to gain big earnings. The opportunities are there but they aren’t for the faint-hearted. You are quite accustomed to the traditional and safe ways of growing your money so this will be a big step to take in order to multiply your wealth in a shorter time frame.
The biggest worry is to ‘part’ with your money and the fear of not seeing it again. Only the bold and brave can play this game. The advice is not to gamble your wealth but to do your research and invest sensibly. This can be a game-changer for you in terms of establishing a more relaxed relationship with finances and shifting your mindset towards one of abundance. It’s a year of rebuilding yourself and using logic in times of uncertainty.
2021 Forecast for Sagittarius (22 Nov – 21 Dec)
It feels like a year of tidying up your emotional self and sorting out priorities to lay a detailed plan of action. You may not see results this year as it’s a year of soul searching and realising what your calling is. It can be emotional at times and that’s where you need to apply your logic to your situation. There is positive news in the first quarter in relation to your position as a provider. But with it also comes an amount of uncertainty. What may seem good news at first will begin to reveal a different side to things.
There is no such thing as time being wasted on dreams; that’s how brilliant ideas are born. You may spend much of your time in the second quarter conjuring ideas or dreaming up possibilities. These aren’t far-fetched thoughts; they are very much grounded. What you’re doing is gathering information around these possibilities. This exercise will give birth to a realisation of what your capabilities are and what you would really like to achieve in your life.
Every step or decision in life must be made while in a state of balance. There have been past regrets, and realisations that things could have been done differently, but you can’t spend time wallowing. Instead, use your heart and your logical mind to learn what you need to and move on. Help yourself by laying a plan of healing. Pick up breathing techniques or speak to someone with an objective opinion, or just begin to let go – that’s always the best medicine. Let go of what is not yours and does not serve your purpose any longer. Free up that space so you can make room for the good things you have dreamed for yourself.
2021 Forecast for Capricorn (22 Dec – 19 Jan)
It’s looking like a great start to the year for the single Capricorn. You meet your potential soulmate, someone who seems to be emotionally mature. This appears to be an opportunity not to be missed. If you’ve been on a path of discovering what your passion is, then it looks like an opportunity will present itself to guide you on a path of finding what that is. Opportunities that come your way in the first quarter should not be dismissed as they are the beginnings of good things to come.
Trust your instincts if you feel discontent with a partnership, a collaboration or a job in the second quarter. Trusting your instincts rather than any logical explanation will work better in this instance. Making the decision to move on may make you feel uncertain about things. But it will also be the only way to gain clarity and to hear your own voice. It will be a wise decision to invest in yourself towards the end of the year. Whether it’s self-improvement courses or picking up new skills or updating current ones, it looks like an important rite of passage to take to help in your growth. Capricorns never keep still and need to find ways to learn and grow, and this will be one of the ways you accomplish this in 2021.
2021 Forecast for Aquarius (20 Jan – 18 Feb)
The chase doesn’t quite appeal to you anymore. Stability in how you earn your money is beginning to sound more attractive. The past year has been quite a hectic one, so for 2021 a time of stability and calm is what you crave. Invest some time in devising a plan that allows you to create a bit more uniformity in your monthly earnings so you can divert your energies to things that make you more fulfilled. The thought of a yoga or meditation class or any form of relaxation technique will not sound alien to you anymore. In fact, it will be something you seek, in order to even out your nerves and moods and also to take more control over your mind.
Finances will need to be watched in the second half of the year. Manage your spending or you’ll face some struggles – especially as the year’s end feels like the perfect time to go mad with treating yourself and your loved ones.
There is also a discovery of a new passion in 2021 – finding something that makes you very excited and full of joy. There may even be a possibility of turning this newfound passion into a money-making opportunity!
2021 Forecast for Pisces (19 Feb – 20 Mar)
The Pisces attitude is one of optimism for 2021. There is no time to waste in wallowing, so you choose a shift in perspective after some deep pondering. There is no fear of losing out, just making the most of what you have at the moment during the first quarter. There’ll be celebration, too, and lots of moving forward as you seize opportunities and achieve the result you want. This needn’t involve too much thinking; just act first and think later, in the second quarter.
You may want to indulge your other half or someone near and dear in the third quarter, but do so within your means. Quality time spent with this special person will feel rare and precious so make the most of the time you have. Your mood for the end of the year is elevated, there is not much that can bring you down. Your generous mood allows you to move past conflicts and arguments where others are trying to undermine you or your authority. You choose to plod on and not get involved with small-minded individuals.
