Your Personal Horoscope 2020

Love and Social Life

Love is complicated this year. (Isn’t it always? But some years more so than others.) Your love planet Jupiter spends almost all year in conservative Capricorn, your 8th house. Not only that, but Jupiter will be travelling with both Saturn and Pluto this year. So we have many messages here.

First of all, Jupiter is not very strong in the sign of Capricorn. Astrologers say that Jupiter is in his ‘fall’ – his weakest position. So the social magnetism is not up to its usual standard. Secondly, it would show less socializing than usual. Singles will still date and attend parties, but not as much as usual. There is a need now to focus on quality rather than quantity. Fewer dates, fewer social events, but good ones are better than hosts of lukewarm ones. A marriage is not likely this year and probably not advisable. Next year will be a lot better for that. You are attracted to older people, serious people, people more settled than you. The danger here is getting involved in a relationship based on convenience rather than real love. You will have opportunities for these kinds of relationships. These aspects also show that you are slow to fall in love these days. You take things nice and slow. Anyone involved romantically with a Gemini needs to understand this.

Jupiter in the 8th house and travelling with the ruler of the 8th house, Saturn, suggests that sexual magnetism is the main romantic appeal these days. (Jupiter is also travelling with Pluto, the generic ruler of sex, and this reinforces what we’re saying.) There’s nothing wrong with good sexual magnetism, but a solid relationship needs more than that.

The love planet in the 8th house shows that you are attracted to money people – the good earners. Wealth is a romantic turn on. Jupiter travelling with the ruler of the 6th house would show an allurement for people in the health professions or people personally involved in your health. Often this shows an office romance. But none of these things leads to marriage – not this year anyway.

For those working on their second marriage the prospects brighten after December 20, but marriage seems delayed. There is love in 2021. Those working on their third marriage have a quiet year. Those who are married will probably stay married, and singles will stay single.

For those of you already in a relationship, the relationship gets some stress testing this year. Your challenge will be to keep the spark of romance alive. Things look too practical, too down-to-earth. Everyone does what they are supposed to do – everyone does their duty – but the passion seems lacking.

Self-improvement

Neptune, the most spiritual and most idealistic of the planets, has been in your career house for many years, and will be there for many more as we have mentioned. This is leading you to a spiritual-type career – a career that is meaningful to you. But there is another way to read this, and this will be true for many of you: it shows that your spiritual practice and spiritual growth is the real career, the real mission these days. Most of you are on a spiritual path already. But this is deepening and becoming more dynamic.

Neptune, the generic spiritual planet, is in mystical Pisces. This would favour a mystical path wherein logic and reason are often seen as the enemy: it is the feeling that matters. While such a path – love, devotion and emotional exaltation – is certainly powerful, with Uranus now in your 12th house of spirituality you need some science and rationality to back you up. You are by nature a rational person. An intellectual. To ignore your mind will set up a conflict in your nature. The mind need not be the enemy. It can be an aid and ally on your path. It is the impurities in the mind that are the enemy.

Uranus rules science and technology. So many of you will be applying technology to your spiritual practice, using Virtual Reality or streaming lectures and meditations. There are all kinds of high-tech gadgets that aid meditation and you seem enamoured by these things. Uranus rules astrology too. Thus esoteric astrology, the philosophical side of astrology, is a viable spiritual path for many of you.* (#litres_trial_promo)

There is something magical and mystical about the 8th house. On the deeper levels the 8th house is about ‘resurrection’ – re-vivification. Making what was dead, live again. We all have things in our lives in need of resurrection. Perhaps it is a relationship, a financial project, or an artistic goal. There it lies, dormant, or perhaps even dead. How can it be resurrected? This year, the 8th house will reveal its secrets to you. Most likely the mind is cluttered with too many side issues that need pruning. Perhaps your home, your material life is also too cluttered. It’s time to de-clutter and get down to bare essentials. Perhaps the emotional life is clogged with unresolved issues – again, time to de-clutter. When you do this, you suddenly find that you have more energy to resurrect your pet projects.

You begin your year with the Western, social sector of your chart dominant. Even the ruler of your Horoscope, Mercury, is in the West. So this is not a time for too much independence. Others and their needs come first. This doesn’t make you especially saintly, it’s just the astrological cycle you are in. Your good comes to you through the grace of others and not so much from your personal initiative. If circumstances irk you, make a note of them and when the planets shift Eastwards, which they will, you will be able to make the changes needed.

The day side of your Horoscope is overwhelmingly dominant. By the 2nd all the planets (with the exception of the Moon) will be on the day side – the upper half of your Horoscope. So this is a time to focus on your career and the outward affairs of life. You serve your family best – and probably derive much emotional satisfaction – from succeeding at your career, rather than by being overly attentive to the family.

Your 8th house will be strong all year, but it is especially strong this month: 60 per cent of the planets are either there or moving through there. So this is a month for detoxing, de-cluttering and practising the science/art of resurrection and personal transformation. Things can’t transform when we are weighed down with all kinds of non-useful matter – possessions or mental and emotional patterns. Clear them out and you can start to bloom. This is a very good month for in-depth psychology.

The spouse, partner or current love is having a banner financial month. He or she is very personally involved in this but also has much support (especially from you). Love is erotic these days.

A lunar eclipse on the 10th – the first of four we will have this year – occurs in your 2nd money house. (Keep in mind that the Moon, the eclipsed planet, is also your financial planet – so this eclipse seems powerful financially.) So this is a month for making corrections in the financial life. Things are not as you thought, as the events of the eclipse will show, and changes – dramatic ones – need to be made. There will also be life-changing dramas in the lives of the money people you are involved with. This eclipse also affects three other planets – so it is strong. It reveals that the spouse, partner or current love also needs to make financial changes. If you employ people there could be some staff turnover now. There can be job changes too, or changes in the conditions of work. If there is a health scare, it is most likely no more than that – your health looks good.
