Your stars for 2020

Signs of the times

Will the dawning of the new decade arrive quietly? With a rare triple conjunction of expansive Jupiter, contractive Saturn and eruptive Pluto ending and recommencing for three giant planetary cycles, the answer is, “probably not” – especially considering an edgy alignment with dwarf planet Eris, named for the Greek goddess of discord. Historically, this transit has accompanied major upheavals of civilisations, and 2020 looks set to give us front row seats at a radical reset of global resources and economies. The good news? Jupiter, our solar system’s largest planet in the sign of responsible governance, gives the human community an increasingly powerful public say in the way we move into the future.

Aries

MAR 21-APR 21

Big picture Powerhouse planets Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter are winding up a cycle in your professional sector and beginning a fresh one, so it’s worth closing the file on roles you’ve outgrown. Your public profile is in the spotlight, with Mars making the last half of 2020 “all about Aries”.

Money matters Rams can be a bit conservative where their security’s concerned, but this year it’s well worth rethinking the way you’ve always handled finances. Uranus, the planet of new technologies, will be in your house of work and earning all year, and innovative changes could get money working for you, rather than the other way round.

Connections The support of colleagues, loved ones and family is more important than ever this year. As you move forward, some friends join you, others organically fade away. Firecracker Mars in Aries for a six-month sojourn increases your ability to contribute in the capacity of courageous, charismatic leader in whatever field you choose.

The inner you Humour is your essential accessory this year. In no way would you want to trivialise all the serious issues the world has to grapple with, which could turn the cheeriest Pollyanna into a gloom-bag, but Aries’ mission is inspiring others. Young people are hungry for vision and alternatives, and your innovative spirit could shine a positive light through 2020 and beyond.
