WINDS OF CHANGE: 2020 FORECAST
2020 will be a turbulent year to say the least It is a year of change, missteps, and retrogrades. Nothing that is planned beforehand will be cut and dried. Difficulties, obstacles and delays will block progress, because there are “loose ends” that need to be secured before movement forward can occur.
The first Lunar Eclipse in Cancer, January10th, is a sign to get rid of emotional baggage, towards people and situations that are causing stagnation. This is followed by the Super Moons in Virgo, March 9th, then again in Libra April 7th, directing each person to look at work, service to Self and others, personal health and well-being, , getting rid of unhealthy habits and people that cause stress., endings of some type in this area will occur. All forms of partnership will be highlighted by Libra Super Moon. There must be balance, with everyone on the same page, otherwise these partnerships whether personal or business won’t work and may end with this Full Moon/Super Moon.
the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius, December 14th, is a sign that this is a time for growth, expansion, justice and truth to begin anew. Depending on the outcome of the election, this could be a good thing. Either way it is a time to move forward with a brighter outlook for 2021.
From February 16th - November 14th, there will be multiple planets in retrograde. This lays the groundwork for a very confusing, turbulent, inconsistent period where mistakes will be made, promises broken and words said that have irreparable consequences. Having to go back over things, deal with people from the past will be an issue. Three steps forward, two steps backward will be energy of this cycle. Mercury retrograde in Pisces, February 16th - March 5th, indicates illusion and delusion, people from the past who are not who they appear to be, resurface. The chance of giving people qualities they don’t have is very high. Great time for creating music, fashion, videos, anything of a visual nature. Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, March 5th - 10th, is a time for uniqueness to shine and ideas that are ahead of their time. Friendships/relationships could go through a difficult time, as the need for independence will be strong. A period to trust intuition. Mercury retrograde in Cancer, June 18th - July 10th, indicates emotions/feelings being protected , a focus on the home, family and foundation of life. Consider the changes that need to be implemented.
Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, October 14th -28th, isn’t a good time to be too trusting. of people that haven’’t proven their worth/value. Trusting instincts will protect against those who are undermining and would sabotage plans if given the opportunity. Good for rejuvenation/regeneration of the physical body. The last Mercury retrograde in Libra, October 29th -November 2nd, presents a chance to heal partnerships of all forms and relationships. Although people from the past may temporarily return, but nothing much will have changed. With Mercury retrograde in particular, travel, technology will be fraught with problems, difficulty, delays and documents should not be signed during this transit.
One of the extra retrogrades this year is Venus in Gemini May13th - June 25th, but enters Gemini April 4th. Partnerships personal and business started in this cycle will not be build on a strong permanent foundation, even more so when the retrograde begins. Not a good time for commitment. Keep things light without too much expectation as promises could be broken. Venus also rules money, material possession, self-worth and personal resources, therefore there will be mishandling and misinformation all centered around these particular topics.
The second extra retrograde is Mars in Aries (its ruler), September 9th - September 14th. but enters Aries June 29th. This cycle will be a “trial by fire” for many where courage will be needed to avoid the negative aspects of being tactless, blunt , aggressive and domineering coming to the forefront, which, because there are other retrogrades overlapping this one, could lead to “explosive” outcomes, maybe even war on a larger scale. This is not a transit to be too assertive to get one’s own way, or to use force in any way shape or form. However, because most people aren’t self-aware enough to know better, the likelihood of this happening is pretty high. This will be a serious time of “testing” and those who have the courage to walk through the “fire” and not get burned by it, or allow it to spread indiscriminately, will be the ones who “pass” with flying colors. Interestingly enough Mars and Mercury will be retrograde during the election in November, so “fireworks” can be expected.
The big change of 2020 is Saturn moving out of Capricorn for 4 months into Aquarius. This is the beginning of a major change in how people feel and conduct themselves, as the signs of old structure, relationships, people organizations, governments begin to fall, that aren’t progressive/humanitarian and universal in consciousness. Saturn in Aquarius enhances a rational, inventive and original mind. Saturn will “reign in” the negative qualities of Aquarius ,which can be rebellious, thoughtless, revolutionary and too idealistic. If Aquarian energies are not tempered, they can do more harm than good, instead of being helpful to others and the masses. The key is to use the intuition of Aquarius to sense and feel when a wrong path has been taken and redirect energies towards something positive. Aquarius is the sign of the future, space travel , electromagnetic energy, genetics, scientific discoveries, unique talents and abilities, to name a few of its attributes. Individuals with their rising sign, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter in Aquarius will be most affected by this planetary aspect, as signs of major life change become evident.
Saturn moves back into Capricorn, July 2nd - December 17th, for the last time. This cycle will be a cleaning up of remaining karma that needs to be confronted and dealt with in order to benefit from Saturn moving permanently into Aquarius December 18th 2020 - March 8th 2023. The Saturn in Capricorn cycle will be hard for those who think and feel there are no consequences for their actions, because those that have “escaped” will experience Natural Law/ Cause and Affect sweeping into their lives, like a heavy hammer falling on top of them, when least expected.
Joining Saturn in Aquarius in December will be Jupiter for one year. This particular combination brings long-term opportunity and benefits from past investments, friends and previous commitments. Good fortune comes from the magnetic charm of the Jupiter/Aquarius combination as new people come to replace old acquaintances. Success in television, music, computers, electronics, science, any profession that requires a broader vision, is likely to happen during this Jupiter aspect. Jupiter will be in Aquarius form December 20th 2020 - May 14th 2021.
In addition to all the above cycles Pluto still remains in Capricorn and will retrograde, April 25th - October 4th, with its usual undermining influences, plus the transformational healing aspect. Uranus still in Taurus, retrogrades August 25th - January 14t 2021. During this time ti will be obvious that financial structures, both personal and business need to be redefined and unexpected reversal of fortune for some is likely. Neptune still in Pisces, retrogrades June 23rd - November 298th. Surprises are likely as the “veil” is lifted to reveal certain things that have been hidden for a while. This is a transit where wearing “rose-colored glasses” will likely not bring positive outcomes or results. Absolute clarity/honest, discernment is needed. A great cycle for creating anything of a visual nature.
2020 is going to be a year to remember as many, many things are going to change, hopefully for the better. The retrogrades are really “shadows” from the past, past karma to be looked at understood and removed, because they will continue to follow, causing uncomfortable scenarios that will get worse until the truth of their existence is no longer feared and can be courageously eliminated.
