this is your tragedy…

aries: for you 2020 will be the year you finally take initiative and make a decision on something you’ve been questioning for a while. with mars spending a good portion of the year in your sign you will begin to look after yourself more and work harder for the things you want. you will also finally let go of personal blockages and self-doubt and find yourself being more confident and assertive.

taurus: you will face a lot of changes, especially within yourself. this could be a physical, spiritual or emotional change but one thing is certain: you will come out of 2020 as a new person. next year will also offer you a chance to get out of your comfort zone and change your routine-oriented life. this is a good thing as it will make you more flexible and open to new ideas. you will feel a sense of ease and inspiration throughout the year.

gemini: next year will be the year of romance for you. venus will be spending more than a third of the year in your sign so you can expect 2020 to be fun and indulgent, especially during the summer. next year definitely won’t be boring for you and there’s a huge chance you’ll find that special someone or improve your current relationship by a lot. just watch out for your laziness and tendency to procrastinate as that will be increased during the year.

cancer: with jupiter opposing your sun you might find yourself more restless and more open to expand your horizons. you will also be experiencing enhanced intuition and spirituality. money also may come to play here and you will have no difficulties gaining it but be wary of being overindulgent and spending it excessively. next year you will also be the one who brings joy into your relationships, both platonic and romanitc — but remember to take as much as you give.

leo: if you haven’t felt like yourself lately this is bound to change next year. you may have lost your confidence and spark due to hardships during previous years but this will change in 2020. you will be experiencing a variety of new things, especially with romance. the beginning of the year may start out confusing or slow for you but as it goes on you will feel more like you belong.

virgo: 2020 is an excellent year for you to make goals and accomplish what you want, as it will be an efficient year for you. you may feel a bit confused or “out of it” during your natal planet mercury’s retrogrades but regardless this will be the year that you start taking responsibility for your own happiness and stop burning out for others.

libra: as chiron ventures further into aries and opposes your sign, 2020 may be a year of pain but it will also be a year of lessons and a year where you get stronger. as your natal planet venus spends a good portion of the year in gemini, you will be more open and communicative in general but especially with your thoughts and emotions. the good thing is you’ll be more focused and decisive throughout the year but strong emotions and competitiveness also may arise. 

scorpio: you will be more at ease next year and feel more optimistic as your natal planet, pluto will be conjuncting jupiter for a good portion of the year. during this time around you may also feel like it’s easier to achieve all the things that you want. you will find balance in the things you do and your positive change will not only affect you but those around you too. an abundance of money may come to you and you will be sure to save it or spend it wisely as pluto will also be conjuncting saturn, the planet of perseverance too.

sagittarius: next year will have a karmic feel to you, like all the things you have been doing, whether good or bad, will pay off next year. as the south node resides in your sign starting from mid next year, you may find yourself feeling more familiar and content with the things you already have. you will also be spending more time with friends and family and the people who bring you comfort.

capricorn: you may have felt like your efforts haven’t payed off or that you don’t get recognized enough but this is bound to change in 2020. as jupiter is residing in capicorn this year you may surprisingly find yourself exhibiting all the traits of jupiter  — optimism, indulgence and a desire to have fun. your personal relationships will also improve and there’s a good chance you’ll find love in 2020. whatever you do next year will feel easier and lighter than the previous ones.

aquarius: in 2020 you will find stability and a routine, you may also expect yourself to work harder but with ease and be sure with the things you want. due to your natal planet uranus residing in taurus you may find money and new personal possessions come your way. you will connect with your friends and family on a deeper level and feel a more open, preserving connection with them. 

Aries: Lots of teasing, makes fun of you but absolutely adores you. The sort of person who will kick your ass but only when you really need it. Not subtle, if she needs attention you’ll know by the large colorful sail on her back.

Taurus: Takes this whole commitment thing very seriously. Enjoys the little things, a love language of shared time. Made entirely of molten metal. Creative, always working on something. The best thing you can do for her is listen. 

Gemini: Could talk for hours about anything with anyone, but has a tendency to get too deep too fast. Lives primarily off a diet of wild berries and fish. The sort of witty and sarcastic humor that can turn off some people, but the perfect match for others. Hibernates for the winters.

Cancer: Will worry about you even when she knows its okay. Constantly thinking about your safety and happiness. Needless to say, a bit of an overthinker. Always there for you. Hasn’t had a physical body since 1687.

Leo: The sort of person to always see the best in a situation. Excited by the simple things in life. An infectious smile. An even more infectious miasma of spores. 

Virgo: Sarcastic, dry sense of humor that can take some warming up to if its not your type. Smart as a whip. Not a terribly emotional person. Will brush off compliments, so when you get a chance to get deep with her, cherish it. Insecure about the network of roots that keep her circulatory system functioning.

Libra: A caring, but fair person. Youll have to meet her halfway. I think she has a knife. The sort of person who would do anything for you. Yeah that looks like a knife. But if you cross her she’s karma incarnate. She definitely has a knife.

Scorpio: In public shes relaxed, smooth, an eternally cool person. Has feathers a handful of choice passions that make her light up like a firework. She isnt used to talking about them, so if you can take a genuine interest she’s yours forever.

Ophiuchus: No eyes, but senses light through her skin. Can be nervous on the uptake, but constant, gentle attention will make her feel safe enough to open up. Not used to sunlight. Try a thick, soft cloak.

Sagittarius: An emotionally straightforward person who knows her needs and will tell you exactly what they are. A supremely down to earth person who has this relationship thing down pat. For some reason she will not stop smashing random objects with a bat.

Capricorn: An attentive person who notices the smallest things for better and for worse. A temperate person who seems to have her own weather and a taste for practical jokes and evenings staring at the star they orbit. 

Aquarius: Enjoys spending time with you working on things. Runs on hydrogen fuel cells. The best thing you can do with her is build something together, whatever it may be. Supported by a system of hydraulics. Tends to be pretty quiet, but when she feels comfortable she shows a silly, playful side that few see.
