Astrological New Year Horoscopes & What Your Zodiac Sign Can Expect For The Rest Of 2021
A (real) fresh start!
The Spring is here and with that a new beginning. We are ready to enjoy a fresh start and get things right or at least try to one more time.
Even though 2021 has been around for an entire three months, it still feels like the year hasn't begun until Spring arrives.
Until Spring begins, unless you live in a warmer climate, life is sedentary, less active, and it's tough to hit all your goals, especially if they involve outdoor activities.
What's in store for your zodiac sign's horoscope during the rest of 2021?
In astrology, the new year doesn't technically begin until the Spring Equinox, and all zodiac signs get a fresh start during Aries Season.
The astrological new year begins with the Sun entering Aries and a Quarter Moon in Cancer.
The new year begins with the Sun entering Aries.
Aries is Cardinal Fire.
For Cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn the rest of the year will begin with purging or 'spring cleaning' the home.
Mutable zodiac signs such as Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces may feel the need to go on a new health or fitness kick.
Some Fixed zodiac signs, like Tauruses, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius will want to remove toxic people from their lives.
Other zodiac signs may decide to start a new business or desire some form of independence.
The Spring Solstice arrives while the Moon is in Cancer.
Cancer is also a Cardinal zodiac sign, and it brings attention to home and the family.
Cancer creates things by the power of one's intuition and feelings that are reflective and turned inward.
The beginning of the astrological new year means that each zodiac sign will exhibit some type of desire to work hard at reestablishing order within the home and perhaps reflects a new outlook in life.
The new year comes with disruptive changes that will affect the communication and transportation industries, education, travel, and personal philosophies.
Solar and lunar eclipse season in 2021:
There will be solar and lunar eclipses in the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius throughout the rest of 2021:
Gemini rules the third solar house which governs transportation, data, communication, and local communities.
Sagittarius rules the ninth solar house which governs education, religious belief, personal philosophy, and long-distance travel.
The rest of 2021 and the outer planets:
Uranus remains in Taurus
Uranus in Taurus continues the theme of money, personal property real estate, and how the agricultural world is managed.
People may start to look at alternative housing types. There may be more changes related to how food and livestock are handled for human consumption.
Uranus also rules cryptocurrencies, so we will continue to see an uptick in their disruption and their increase as investment properties.
Jupiter & Saturn in Aquarius
Aquarius is the zodiac sign of humanitarianism and equality.
So, both Jupiter and Saturn will take on the energy of Aquarius during their expression while transiting this zodiac sign.
Both Jupiter and Saturn will remain in the zodiac sign of Aquarius for the rest of 2021.
Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so we will see continued growth and changes that are helpful for all of humanity in some way that affects education.
We have already seen some of those changes come into play with the Biden administration forgiving student loan debt that hurt borrowers of schools that closed or where the degree did not lead to a job.
Because Jupiter moves faster than Saturn, it will likely have a greater impact, and we may see positive and helpful changes in the government as a continuing theme during 2021.
Pluto in Capricorn
Pluto rules Scorpio, and it also rules viruses.
Scorpio is often called 'transformative' and 'the surgeon' so 2021 will bring out transformation in areas of life when it communicates with various personal planets and outer planets.
While in Capricorn, Pluto may continue to bring changes in government (ruled by Saturn), and also the workplace, but there may be a continuation of new vaccines, boosters, and changes as it relates to the pandemic or other viruses that are discovered.
Since Pluto is in Capricorn, which rules career and social status, including big government, there will be some focus and attention on corporations, government authorities, and perhaps regulation changes.
Neptune in Pisces
Neptune rules Pisces. In Pisces, Neptune can magnify problems related to illusions such as substance abuse and narcotic use on a global level.
How will your zodiac sign be affected during 2021?
We begin with the end in mind, of course, and all that depends on your zodiac sign and personal chart.
Here's a run-down for all zodiac signs in astrology.
Astrological new year & zodiac sign horoscopes for the rest of 2021:
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Aries, the rest of the new year starts with you learning to put yourself first. The first full moon of the new year will take place in Libra, the sign of your relationships and partnership.
You may have hooked on to toxic people during last year for one reason or another.
There may have been some compromises that you made in order to 'see things through to the end', but the new year invites you to make some changes that are necessary for your life, and this involves your emotional and relational health.
The astrological new year will involve you making new friends in order to replace the void that exists when you let go of some that are no good now.
You may also be focusing on building a new business, starting a new job or partnership.

The eclipses will hit your money house and your shared resources house.
So, there can be power plays in both of these areas of your life where you either find yourself quarreling with a partner about what to spend or how to save.
If you live with a roommate or with other people, what's mine vs ours can be of primary importance for boundary setting.

Virgo, the rest of the new year starts with the Sun in your shared resource sector. This may be when you really start to see things come into your life but through another person, like a partner, friend, or colleague.
Since you are often super independent, this could be uncomfortable for you to experience, but it can be a time where you learn to let others take care of you in the way that you often care for them.
The Full Moon in Libra will activate your money sector, and since this is a time of endings you may be ready to let go of a bill or expense that's draining your resources.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces, the rest of the new year starts with the Sun in your money sector, and you'll want to get a handle on impulse spending or financial losses.
You might have gone too heavy on the buy-now button over the last year, and this habit can be curved during the start of Aries season and the astrological new year.
The first full moon takes place in Libra activating your house of shared resources. Be honest with yourself for the three months ahead. Who or what have you been generous to the detriment of yourself?
It will become apparent to you perhaps when you least expected, and closing the door on this financial or time-costly problem will enable you to gain some monetary control.
The astrological new year's lunar and solar eclipse season will activate your sector of career and family. These two areas of your life may be 'under construction'.
You might be asked to change your schedule or adjust your role at work in order to spend more time at home.
