Your Personal Horoscope 2020

Fast-moving Venus is your financial planet. Thus there are many short-term trends in finance that depend on where Venus is and the aspects she receives. These are best covered in the monthly reports.

She will make one of her rare retrogrades this year – from May 13 to June 25. This only happens once every two years. So this will be a period for financial review; not a good time for making expensive purchases or important financial decisions.

Venus will spend approximately four months in the sign of Gemini – four times the length of her usual transit. This indicates earnings from sales, marketing, PR, advertising, teaching, writing and trading.

Career is really the main headline for the year, Aries. Career has been challenging over the past two years and you’ve had to work hard. You didn’t catch the lucky breaks and you have had to earn everything through sheer merit. Many of you were dealing with demanding bosses and perhaps unreasonable customers. More was expected of you. But now, with Jupiter in your 10th career house almost all year you will see the payoff. You will start to catch the lucky breaks. Promotions come your way. Your public and professional status is elevated. If you own a business, the status of the business is elevated. But it’s your hard work that is bringing the good luck. There is much career-related travel in the year ahead too.

Love and Social Life

As we mentioned earlier, the year ahead is not an especially romantic kind of year. Some years are like that. Career is much more important than the social life. Your social life will improve at the end of the year, when Jupiter moves into your 11th house of friends, but this is more about friendships and being involved with friends and groups rather than romance.

Your 7th house of love is empty this year. Only short-term planets will move through there, bringing temporary effects. More important is the fact that all the long-term planets are in the East this year. Your Western social sector will never be dominant. Relationships seem less important than usual. It’s all about independence and creating your own conditions for happiness. The tendency for relationships will be to the status quo. Singles will tend to remain single. Those who are married will tend to stay married.

Venus is not only your financial planet but your love planet as well. This shows that for you, Aries, love and money go together. When love is going well finances are going well, and when finances are going well the love life goes well. Problems in one area impact the other too.

Venus is a fast-moving planet and usually she will move through all the signs and houses of your Horoscope in a given year. This year, because she goes retrograde, she will only move through 11 signs and houses. This is still a lot of movement, and thus there are many short-term trends in love that depend on where Venus is and the aspects she receives. These short-term trends are best dealt with in the monthly reports.

As we have mentioned, Venus will spend four months in the sign of Gemini, your 3rd house, which will be significant for singles. There will be social and romantic opportunities to be found in your neighbourhood and perhaps with neighbours. The expression ‘smart is the new sexy’ certainly resonates with you this year. You gravitate to intellectuals; to people with the gift of the gab; to people who are easy to talk to. Talking, good communication, is a form of foreplay. Sexual magnetism is always important in a relationship, but you need more than that – you need mental compatibility. There will be romantic opportunities at school, educational functions, seminars, lectures, literary events, even at bookshops or the library. Pursue your intellectual interests and love will find you. Venus will be in Gemini from April 3 to August 7.

Self-improvement

Career, as we have said, is the single most important area for you this year, more important than love, finance and even health. This is all well and good. There are times in life where this kind of focus is necessary. However, you should not allow this to affect your health. Real career success will happen as you learn to attain it with good health. This will mean working smarter and not harder, learning to delegate tasks and never allowing yourself to get overtired.

We see some interesting things in your spiritual life this year. Neptune in your 12th house for many years can make you mystical and dreamy. You are apt to fall into reveries. But Jupiter in Capricorn, in your 10th house, shows a more practical kind of theology. There is a feeling that God wants you to succeed; that your career is ‘God’s work’. This faith will be helpful to your career. People in your place of worship are also likely to be helpful in your career.

Jupiter in Capricorn favours traditional religion. However, Neptune in Pisces indicates a desire to transcend all religion, to be in a place that is ‘above religion’. So these conflicting urges need to be integrated. Every person does this in their own way. In many cases you will have one foot in the mystical realms and the other foot in traditional religion. In other cases, one supports the other. There is no real conflict; all religions are merely the offshoots of the mystical experiences of their founders.

We mentioned earlier that the Eastern sector of your Horoscope is overwhelmingly dominant this year. In addition Mars, your ruling planet, will be in your own sign for more than six months – from June 28 onwards. While it is natural for you to be independent and self-willed, this year it could be too much of a good thing. The tendency will be to ignore or run roughshod over others, perhaps to demean them. It is true that your way is the best way for you these days, but others still need to be treated with love and respect. You can go your own way without offending others. It will take some spiritual work though.

You begin your year in the midst of a yearly career peak. Your 10th house of career is easily the strongest in the Horoscope, with at least half and sometimes 60 per cent of the planets either there or moving through there. So the career is successful – but very demanding. You are focused on your career as you should be, but this focus can cause some problems at home. A lunar eclipse on the 10th occurs in your 4th house of family and shakes things up. This can bring dramas in the lives of family members, and in the lives of parents and parent figures (both sets), and often a need for repairs in the home. Siblings and sibling figures also seem affected by the eclipse; they are forced to make important financial changes because of some disruption or unexpected event.

This eclipse looks pretty strong, so take it nice and easy during this time. You should rest and relax more all month – especially until the 20th, but particularly during this eclipse period. The problem is that the demands of the career are very great now and it might not be so easy to ‘rest and relax’. Career and home issues must be handled, but focus on the essentials. Don’t sweat the small stuff, as the saying goes.

Health is an issue this month, especially until the 20th. The eclipse impacts Mercury, your health planet, so there are changes to your health regime and perhaps changes in your doctors. Sometimes there are health scares; if so make sure to get a second opinion. Later in the month – even next month – will be a better time to get these second opinions. The body is not a ‘thing’ but a dynamic energy system. It responds to the energy world. Tests taken when energy is not right can often show things that are not really there.

Enhance your health this month through back and knee massage until the 16th, and through calf and ankle massage afterwards. Most importantly, maintain high energy levels.

There can be job changes this month, either within your present company or with another one. There are shakeups in your career as the eclipse affects your career planet Saturn. This often manifests as shakeups in the upper management where you work, in changes of company policy, dramas in the lives of bosses and changes in your industry. Sometimes the government changes regulations that impact on your industry.

If you got through last month with your health and sanity intact, pat yourself on the back. You did very well. Health still needs watching but it is much less stressful than last month. Enhance your health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report, but also through ankle and calf massage until the 3rd and through foot massage after that date. You respond very well to spiritual healing techniques after the 3rd, and if you feel under the weather see a spiritual healer.

The month ahead is a strong social month. Your 11th house of friends is powerful until the 19th, and on the 7th your love planet Venus enters your sign and stays there for the rest of the month. Venus in your sign is a happy transit. She bestows beauty and social grace. You look good. You have a flair for fashion. Love and romantic opportunities pursue you, rather than the other way around. You have love on your terms. Those of you who are married or in a relationship will find that the spouse, partner or current love is unusually devoted and eager to please.

Venus’s move into your sign is also a wonderful financial transit. Money and financial opportunity come to you. You don’t need to run after it. Often this transit indicates financial windfalls, and just as often it shows clothing or accessories coming to you.

On the 16th Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope, enters your 10th house. This shows career success, but you are earning it. You are on top, in charge. People look up to you. People aspire to be like you.

Mars’s move into your career house puts all the planets in the Eastern sector of your chart – even the Moon will move to the East on the 18th. This is highly unusual. You are at the peak of your personal independence (and this lasts into next month too). You’re self-reliant and in charge of your destiny. You’re not much in need of others’ approval. You know what’s best for you and you should follow that path. Others might not agree initially, but they will come round. So make those changes that need to be made. You have a lot of personal power. You can and should have things your way.

Venus, your love and financial planet, will have her solstice from the 8th to the 10th. She pauses in the heavens and then changes direction (in latitude). So, a pause in finance and love will happen, followed by a change of direction.

March

Best Days Overall: 6, 7, 14, 15, 24, 25

Most Stressful Days Overall: 4, 5, 10, 11, 17, 18

Best Days for Love: 8, 10, 11, 17, 18, 27, 28

Best Days for Money: 1, 8, 9, 17, 18, 27, 28

Best Days for Career: 1, 9, 17, 18, 28, 29

Spirituality has been strong all year but now – since February 19 – it is even stronger. Your 12th house is very powerful. So this is a good period for spiritual practices, for meditation, the study of sacred literature and reading spiritual-type books. It is also a very creative period. You are inspired from on high, especially on the 8th and 9th. This is a period for supernatural experiences and for enhanced ESP (extra-sensory perception).

All the planets are still in the East this month – only the Moon will move through your Western social sector, from the 4th to 16th. Your own house becomes powerful, too, from the 20th onwards. Continue to make the changes that need to be made and create the conditions for your happiness. Like last month, you can and should have things your way. There is nothing wrong in following your self-interest, so long as you’re not damaging others. Your self-interest is just as important as another’s.

Though health still needs watching – you can’t take things for granted – your health is much improved over January. Like last month, ankle and calf massage (from 4th to the 16th) and foot massage (from the 1st to the 4th and from the 16th onwards) will be beneficial. Spiritual-healing methods are still powerful for you too, from the 1st to the 4th and from the 16th onwards.

Although career is important all year, this month it is less so. Saturn leaves your career house on the 23rd and Mars will leave it on the 31st. Bosses should be less demanding now.

On the 20th the Sun moves into your sign and you begin one of your yearly personal pleasure peaks. A time for fun and for indulging the body. This is a good time to get the body in the shape that you would like. Fun and leisure opportunities will come to you and you’ll probably take them. Children and children figures seem more devoted to you. The personal appearance shines – abundant energy is the best beauty product in the world!
