Horoscopes for the new year

ARIES - March 21 – April 19 Your biggest transit of the year will be Jan. 12, when Saturn and Pluto will be in the same zodiac spot, creating large changes in your chart’s career zone. In the middle of Aries season, Jupiter, the planet of luck, also meets Pluto, encouraging you to make moves and achieve your goals, speci cally at work. Work your hardest, because come Mars Retrograde in the fall, you will feel extremely lazy. But don’t worry, by the end of 2020 you’ll bounce right back when Jupiter and Saturn meet in Aquarius. EVENTS TAURUS - April 20 – May 20 Saturn and Pluto’s conjunction in January is pushing you to question everything. Right after Spring, Saturn will enter Aquarius, so expect more responsibilities at work —but this will not come without rewards. By the end of the year, your hustling and the people you’ve met along the way will inspire you to become more involved, whether it be socially, politically or what have you. A good bonus is you will end the year feeling well-rounded, mature and successful. Enjoy the growth. GEMINI - May 21 – June 20 More often than not, commitment is an issue for you. But this year, it’s all about grow- ing out of that. At rst, you’re resisting settling down with a new job, but by April, you’ll learn the value of dedicating yourself to something or someone. Then just be- fore Gemini season, on May 13, Venus goes into retrograde in your sign, making you Ongoing relearn everything you thought you knew about relationships.

You soon learn that hustling to present the most likable version of yourself is actually bad for you deep down. Holding back keeps you from getting the promotions, rela- tionships and friendships you want, so this year is about putting yourself rst. Once you start feeling like a whole person again, your social life gets better too. In summer, some major eclipses inspire you to start asking for the things you want but before thought were “too much.” If anybody is tough enough to handle any repercussions, it’s you. LIBRA - Sept. 23 – Oct. 22 You’ve got a big move coming up, and spectacular things will happen once you settle MUSIC in. That said, expect to put romance on the back burner — spring’s Venus Retrograde will have you believing love is dead — because you need to focus on your family, job and individual needs right now. However, by the end of the year, the Mars Retrograde in your relationships zone will end, and Jupiter and Saturn will team up in your ro- AND mance zone. Your love life will have strong potential, but by then you’ll just be happy being a strong, independent person. SCORPIO - Oct. 23 – Nov. 21 MOVIES 2020 is breaking down all those walls you’re known for building. Saturn moves into Aquarius in March, starting a new cycle in your life to focus on your home, family and any other foundational parts of your life. You’re starting to to rely on others more, which is perfectly OK — pour out your feelings. Mars Retrograde will make you feel unmotivated with your work and tness, but take this time to focus on your health. SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22 – Dec. 21 The start of the year teaches you that being more careful with your nances is something you should try. In March, Saturn — planet of restraint — enters Aquar- ius, which means you’re learning to sprinkle even more self-control onto your life. You’ll be rewriting your brain to be more organized — sounds boring, but you need it. In May, Venus Retrograde signals breakups while you recon gure how you con- New Music New Movies nect with others, and the Nov. 10 lunar eclipse clears out any leftover relationships that have hit their expiration dates. Don’t stress out: two weeks later, a solar eclipse Over Break Over Break sparks something major, giving you good feels again.
