Your Astrological Guide to Making 2020 the Best Year Ever

Let the stars show you how to have the best year ever! Here is your Zodiac-based guide to love, health, happiness, and success in 2020.

Keep in mind, that the stars can only do so much–they light the way, but you have to make the first step.

Aries (March 21-April 19) 

Aries, fools rush in… and sometimes, so do you. 2020 is the year to cut it out. Your impulsive streak is going to get you into more trouble than it’s worth in the coming year. While playing it safe–or at least cautious–doesn’t come naturally to you, the consequences of reckless are just too high.

On the romance front, beware of arguments that seem to flare up out of nowhere. Chances are good that there is a reason for the fight–you just haven’t noticed it. Instead of fighting fire with fire by escalating the anger, take a step back and cool off. Then approach the problem like an adult and have a conversation instead of a blow-out.

In terms of your career, this could be a fantastic year for you–as long as you stay focused! Pick 2-3 realistic goals and work toward them. That’s going to turn out a lot better for you than taking on every challenge that comes your way.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) 

This could be the Year of the Bull–if you’re willing to stay flexible! I know that’s tough for you, Taurus, but the truth is that you’ve been stuck in a rut for a while. Maybe it’s only been for a few months; maybe it’s been for an entire decade. No matter how long you’ve been trapped in the same old routine, now is the time to change.

Every area of your life will be improved this year by saying “yes” to every opportunity to step outside your comfort zone. Take a spontaneous trip. Join a club and make new friends. Change up your hairstyle.

It would also be a good idea to work on your literal flexibility, Taurus. Try a yoga class or some other exercise that focuses on loosening up those joints.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) 

Gemini, this is it. 2020 is your chance to finally start crossing those big projects off the list. Your Zodiac sign has a reputation for starting stuff and never finishing. Are you going to let that happen this year? Heck no!

The trick to finishing more projects is to stay focused. That’s why learning to meditate is going to be huge for you this year. Focus is a skill that you can improve over time. Get in the habit of starting your mornings with some deep breathing and meditation instead of coffee and social media.

As the Zodiac sign most affected by Mercury Retrogrades, be sure to mark those tricky times on your calendar!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) 

Hey there, lovely! The stars have a special message for you, but it might be hard to hear. The thing is, this year… you need to put yourself first.

That’s tough for Cancerians like you, who are giving and self-sacrificing to a fault. But the truth is that you are doing everyone a disservice by spreading yourself so thin. However, self-care isn’t all bubble baths and pedicures. It means taking a long, hard look at your life.

The coming year will be a great one for your love life. If you’re currently partnered, you’ll be taking the next step together or finding a deeper level of intimacy. If you are single, then all signs point to a love connection in your future!

Leo (July 23-August 22) 

It’s safe to say that, from your perspective, every year is the Year of Leo. However, 2020 will pose an unusual number of setbacks and stumbling blocks. You will be challenged–but you’ll also rise above, stronger and more fabulous than ever. If anybody can handle it, you can.

It’s not all doom and gloom. A new fitness routine or other focus on your health will pay big dividends in 2020. You might even find yourself considering a career change (or at least a side hustle) related to wellness. In fact, looking for a new job or an entirely new field might open up new paths that you’d previously overlooked.

When opportunities arise, seize the day! At the end of the year, you’ll regret the chances you missed.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) 

Virgo, you are happiest when everything goes to plan. Unfortunately, in 2020 almost nothing will be that simple. It’s going to be a year filled with change–and maybe a little chaos. That’s something you struggle to cope with, but you’ll need to learn resiliency if you’re going to thrive.

In practical matters, it’s a good idea to sock back a little extra money in your savings account for a rainy day. Anticipate a major expense this summer–possibly related to your car or home. As long as you’ve been prudent with your money, you will be fine even when presented with an unexpected bill.

This is also a very good year to learn something new. Sign up for a class or take an online course to expand your knowledge. It just might end up opening doors to new opportunities!

Libra (September 23-October 22) 

Follow your gut. Libra, you tend to litigate things to death, weighing the pros and cons of every decision until you are paralyzed with doubts. In 2020, it’s all about taking the leap.

What does that mean in practical terms? If you have a chance to travel, you should absolutely take it. Single Libras should try going on dates with a variety of people. Partnered Libras should be open to more spontaneity in their relationships. If your dream job pops up on your computer one day, apply for it!

It’s also a good idea to shake up your diet and exercise routine, Libra–or, let’s be real, to start a health routine. You’re going to need a lot of energy for all the adventures in your future!

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) 

Scorpio, 2020 will be a year of ups and downs. Unfortunately, you’ll either be lucky in love or work… but not both. While it’s unlikely that you’ll have to do something really dramatic, like tearfully choosing between your dream job and the love of your life, it’s possible that romance and career will be at direct odds with each other in your life.

Spend some time thinking about your priorities near the first of the year. Having that clarity will benefit you throughout 2020 as you face some big choices. If you own a home, you might end up selling it this year, so keep that in mind as you consider remodeling or redecorating projects.

When it comes to your health, you would do well to get in touch with your Water element roots and take up swimming, rowing, or even aqua aerobics this year. Exercising in the water is a great way to manage stress and get some cardio while taking it easy on your joints.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) 

This year is going to be so, so important for you, Sagittarius. 2020 marks the turning point of the decade, and you need to ask yourself if you’re going to keep living the same way for the next 10 years.

Honestly, the answer might be yes. If you’re happy and content with your life, then don’t let your wanderlust ruin a good thing. All change is not necessarily for the better, and there’s no reason to start over just because you’ve got a decade’s worth of FOMO.

However, if you’re worried that you have fallen behind your peers in the game of life, maybe it’s time to start doing things a little differently. For one thing, you need to take better care of yourself. Could you cut back on junk food or partying? Maybe shopping or other impulsive behavior? That kind of stuff takes a toll on you (and your wallet) over time.

Capricorn (December 23-January 20) 

The hardest thing in the world for a Capricorn is letting someone else take the lead. But that’s exactly what you’re going to need to do this year. In order to be successful in 2020, Cap, you need to delegate.

In the past, you may have been held back from success by your ego. You don’t have to do everything yourself. In fact, you shouldn’t try. This advice will have practical repercussions next year if you attempt any kind of DIY project on your own. Ask for help from an expert or take a class instead of trying it solo.

If you are in a relationship, you should make an effort next year to speak the love language of your partner. They may be feeling unsure about how much you care, so show them through actions that are meaningful to them. Single Capricorns should probably put love on the back burner as you focus your limited energy on career concerns.

watercolor illustration of Aquarius

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) 

2020 is going to confront you with a major decision. How much will you give up to follow your dreams? Aquarians tend to have bold, iconoclastic dreams that don’t always make sense to society at large. Are you willing to face the judgment of your peers and loved ones? Are you will to stand out in a crowd? Are you willing to sacrifice your comfort to live your truth out loud?

That sounds pretty heavy, but it’s not every day that we face the dawn of a new decade. This is a chance for you to decide the course of the next 10 years.

Travel may be in your future; because of your affinity for Air, planes are a better choice than boats or trains. In addition, you should be especially on guard for financial scams in 2020 as unscrupulous people try to prey on your generous heart.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) 

Pisces, the coming year has plenty of ups and downs–and a few surprises–in store for you. Creatively, it will be your most fulfilling year yet. You are going to finish a major creative endeavor, master a challenging skill, or possibly earn a diploma or certificate. In any case, big kudos are coming your way!

Personally, however, the year will be more of a mixed bag. There’s a potential for heartbreak this year, especially if you allow yourself to get swept away by your feelings. There’s also boundless capacity for healing if you are open with the friends and family who already love you unconditionally.

Finally, it’s time to rethink your wardrobe. You aren’t going to be taken as seriously as you should without a few tailored, professional pieces in your closet. Green, blue, and teal are your power colors, so consider investing in a suit featuring those hues.
