Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Jupiter is in one sign every year. In the year 2020, lucky Jupiter will be in your sign! This means all kinds of good things for you. But in a nutshell, it means it will be a fortunate year for you in personal terms. Your confidence will increase, yourself poise will in- crease. You will be happier - no question.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the year 2020, you have a strong feeling of having survived something. To be precise - the dark night of the soul. Some of these difficulties might linger into the beginning of the year, but ultimately these challenges will fade away. This is why you will feel in- ternally grateful and quietly happier.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You are going to be so popular in the year ahead, it's almost laughable. But to be truthful, it is not really laughable because although popularity is considered to be a wonderful thing, it's not good to "lose yourself" to the demands of others. Therefore, your challenge will be to work smoothly with everyone else, and fill their needs and de- mands, and yet, at the same time, maintain your own independence and in- tegrity. money in a big way!
Aries (March 21-April 19): This year you make a fabulous impres- sion on others because not only is it your time of harvest, but lucky Jupiter will be at the top of your chart, which gives your reputation a double boost! This is definitely your turn to put your name up in lights! By that, I'm refer- ring to a time window of over a decade. Expect promotions, awards and the adulation of your peers.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Two areas in your life will get a huge boost in 2020. The first is anything to do with travel and dealing with foreign countries. Oh yes, you will have the best opportunities to travel in 2020 that you have had in over a decade! To say that you are going places is putting it mildly. However, some of you will use this influence in a different way.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): The year 2020 will be a better year for you financially speaking because you will get richer through the wealth and resources of others. You might inherit money or assets. Your partner might earn more, which indirectly benefits you. You might get money back from the government. You might be released from a debt. Whatever the case, you will feel richer in 2020 because of an external influence.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Things have been challenging for your closest relationships in the last year. The good news is this year there will be a softening of this tension because lucky Jupiter will join Saturn in your House of Partnerships. The squeeze play will still be there, but now there will be something more joyful and more expansive as well.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The good news for you in the year ahead is twofold: You will have a fantastic chance to improve your health. And sec- ondly, you can improve your job or get a better job. If you want to stay in your job, make an effort to get better duties or a better working station or be patient because your evil boss will be transferred to Timbuktu.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are one of the luckier signs this year because 2020 is going to be all about parties, fun vacations, socializing and schmoozing with others, plus enjoying the arts and the entertainment world. You can look forward to one of the happiest years you've had in a long time.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You have much to look forward to this year because more than any other sign, you are affected by your surroundings. Colors, lighting, smells - all these things affect your mood and your sense of happiness. The good news is that in the year ahead, you will create a more beautiful home for yourself!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will be happier in 2020. It's that sim- ple. Your mind will be more positive and you will think like a winner. You will make better choices. You will expect more for yourself. You will be busier with short trips and schmoozing with daily contacts.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It's in your nature. You're an optimist and you like to think that something better is around the corner. The good news for you is that you are going to get richer in 2020. You will either earn more money or somehow receive money or inherit money. Whatever the source - the money will come!
