The Stars Show the Kind of Year You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
*****
Your mind falls into a state of reverie as 2020 comes in. You are happy to facilitate others’ dreams too. 2020 tosses you into the limelight no matter what age you are. Older Rams will give more time to their chosen commitments and/or community. Trust that you will be noticed whether you are a teenager or a silver-haired retiree. You have a lot to give. Promotions become a strong likelihood — acknowledgment is a given. Many of you will transform your work and style for the better. What is clear is the importance of a pivotal relationship in your life. If single, changing your status becomes more likely. You will meet available people when out, working and socializing. Attached Rams will experience a newfound intensity with their sweetie. Situations will force you to grow and let out the star within. You will want plenty of private time at home with your immediate family. In a sense, they are the source of your energy and activity. Go with the flow after Sept. 9, 2020. Do not fight city hall.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You have become the object of some gossip over the past year, and it will continue to be so through 2020. Remember the staid, old you? Many of you have tossed that image to the wayside to reinvent yourself. If you have not gone through this process yet, start fantasizing: If you could do and be anything, what would that be? Many of you will decide to satisfy a curiosity. If at the right point in time, you could choose to continue studies in your chosen field. Other Bulls will give up being armchair travelers and take off for yonder lands. Your vision of possibilities suddenly grows by leaps and bounds. Key people in your life admire your courage to break past your conventional boundaries. You also could achieve far more professionally, as you become a more original thinker. Your new ways will be appreciated. If younger, it will be by the older, wiser adults around you; if older, from your contemporaries. Romance for the young at heart draws some very intriguing possibilities. Do not jump into any relationship. Know that your chosen one is right for you. Wait a year before making a heavy commitment. You are changing and so are your needs. You can have it all, but the path will no longer be a conventional one. Forge ahead without fear.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
****
The Twin is always charming and delightful, and this year is no different. Nevertheless, your day-to-day life will demand attention and work, more so than in the past. The good news is that your efforts will pay off. Notice when the tradewinds work against you and slow you down. These periods are for reflection and perhaps reinventing some part of your life. The winds will blow heavily around the following dates: Feb. 16-March 9, June 18-July 12 and Oct. 12-Nov. 8. Do not initiate anything until you are past these periods, although you can certainly play around with different ideas. Joint finances and interactions involving a partnership will work out, but you might have to make some adjustments and not fight the inevitable. The other party will learn to be flexible as well. Compromise, and both of you will gain beyond your wildest dreams. If coupled, a celebration will be in order.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
****
You are ruled by the Moon, and though you can be joyous one moment, you can be down just as quickly. You are fine if you flow with your moods and don’t fight them. Some people could find you to be a role model for how you handle your sensitivities. Opportunity drops in your lap, especially if you are willing to let go of the status quo. If single, a significant relationship could become a reality in your life before you know it. You will be tested as to how deep of a commitment you want. Those of you who are attached will experience a newfound emotional fullness to your bond, but often you will be tested by a controlling and/or remote partner. Know that he or she is also going through changes. Passion marks your year no matter what age or stage of life you are in. Passions run high with the full moon each month, and new beginnings become possible with each new moon.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
****
The Lion is full of playful roars, laughter and compassion. Others wonder if this personality is the real you. Most of you have this outgoing personality. As a result, you draw many admirers or friends. Sometimes your social obligations become too much, but in general you handle them well. 2020 issues surround one-on-one relating in all forms. You will gain through this type of relating, but be sure to allow the other party to have his or her say. Caring abounds between you and your significant other. Your biggest lesson in 2020 will be to let go of your need to be center stage. You have put someone on a pedestal, but remember that he or she is human. If still in your younger years, you could be upset when this person falls off the pedestal. Think about how he or she got there. This year, you help people realize their true destiny.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
****
Others are extremely emotional around you — even more than usual. You are so logical and detailed that you will be stunned by the level of emotional display around you. A bond with a child or a new relationship could test your relating abilities. You will need to learn how to walk in another person’s footsteps. These bonds will be an excellent source of happiness for you. Pick and choose your words with care. You may have developed a sharpness that cuts to the quick. Try not to wound someone you want to relate to. On the other hand, you do need to express yourself. In general, if you hold back a lot, you might find that you are accident-prone this year. If that pattern develops, you will know how to handle it. Hold back less!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
****
No matter what is going on, your focus this year will be on your home, family and those around you. There is a surprise, long deserved for you, around real estate or your domestic life. This year, many of you will gain a new addition to your home life. Some of you might buy a new home. Though you will greet more responsibility, you will be much happier. With you feeling more secure, no one is surprised to see your romantic life sizzle, whether you are single or attached. You have greater room in your heart and head for romance. Make the most out of this period. As busy as you might be, you fully toss yourself into your daily life. You might find that taking better care of yourself will be important, especially because you are so busy! Some of you will go into some type of healing field; others will demonstrate a newfound psychic ability. You certainly are interesting this year.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
****
Your communication will be varied and somewhat strange, to you as well as others. Sometimes you will be so upbeat and happy, others cannot believe it. Yet there are times you cut others off or may not even answer. Imagine what kind of awesome figure you are to those who want to speak with you. Do not be surprised if you are ignored by a loved one or child who is extremely creative and imaginative. They fear the worst. Is this really how you want to relate? Now is the time to change your style if you choose. Others would appreciate it. You could see a near immediate difference in your interactions. Home is your castle no matter what age you are. Younger Scorpios might be looking forward to creating their own nest. Attached Scorpios want to add more beauty or caring into their home. Older Scorpios’ biggest issue will be getting out of their comfort zone. Much that occurs to Scorpio this year is on a quieter yet more rewarding scale. You will smile so much that others might ask if you are OK.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
***
Many of you have just experienced one of the most fortunate years of your life, or at the very least, the first year of a new life cycle. You are a sign that is expansive, which sometimes gets you in trouble. This year, you need to stay in charge of your wallet. Yes, discipline. Whether you are a youth saving for a new item or an affluent elder, you will need to be sure that the financial train does not run in and out of your wallet with great speed. One of the reasons you spend, at least for most of you, is that you suppress your feelings a lot, and you can forget them easily when buying a new item. Emotions seem to be more on display this year. Teenagers could be grousing with their elders; lovers might snap more often at each other and elders may share their changing feelings. You can deal with the intensity and depth you feel. By acknowledging these feelings, you will gain more control. Not only do you have the innate ability to take risks, but you also have a strong sense of your feelings. Mixed together, you can have it all!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*****
Jupiter, the planet of good luck, has entered your sign, announcing that 2020 is not only the first year of a new life cycle, but also one where you will feel extremes. In general, this transit brings luck and happiness. The world becomes your oyster, or so it seems if you do not deny this journey. You will still have to deal with an innate seriousness and a need for control. The good news is that you can do it, especially this year. With all these currents, you seem able to zero in on others’ motives and actions, sometimes even before they know them. You will enjoy this special knowledge or sensitivity that you gain. Use this developing psychic ability well and you and others will be more content. You have a specific goal this year that you are determined to materialize. A friend will support you in manifesting this goal. Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
***
As the year turns over, you have Venus in your sign, adding to your allure, gentleness and desirability. As an omen, you will tend to appear less difficult and more charming in 2020. Yes, this year you will learn the power of gentleness. You have deep feelings and often do not display them. Your spending will be a direct road to find out how you feel. Sometimes you might not even know what you feel. Whether young or old, you will learn more about your feelings. You will often spend money for emotional reasons. You could spend funds on someone else. Home will be a key area. You are ending a 12-year life cycle this year. Do not be surprised if you end that which is not working in your life. Make that OK. You are clearing the field for the better.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
****
Could you be any more emotional or sensitive? The answer is yes. You might not even understand where these intense feelings come from. Many of you, no matter what age you are, could be developing a great ability to understand others. With it comes the ability to feel what others feel. This ability might not be comfortable, but it is important to acknowledge and define. Your ability to empathize with others adds to your popularity and your kindness. You also will notice that you home in on a longtime desire because of this ability. You will have cause for celebration. Be certain of your goal, as it will come with responsibility. You might not be comfortable sharing your plans with others just yet. You will grow and see many new vistas this year. Do not be afraid. Open the door and walk right in.
