Holy heck, it’s an entirely new decade. And it’s not just your iCal that says things are different—the universe is acknowledging it, too. On the astrological front, January is all about pushing forward and doing your best to bring more beauty and ~harmony~ into your life.
You’ll find yourself dreaming about how magical your life could be, if only work and other day-to-day stuff weren’t an ish. Uranus goes direct on the 10th, stirring up a rebellious, unpredictable energy. You’ll be ready to get out there and just do your thing (whatever the heck that is) already. Then, on the 13th, Venus moves into Pisces, encouraging you to surround yourself with friends—they just make you feel heard, ya know? By the end of the month, you’ll be all about that self-care routine. After all, the more you look out for number one, the better it is for everyone else in the long run.
Here's what else is in store for you this month, according to Donna Page, a professional astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology.
ARIES (MARCH 21–APRIL 19)
Get ready, Aries, because 2020 is your year. Mars moves into Sagittarius on the 3rd, making you feel up for anything and ready to take on the world. Oh, someone says you can’t do this and that? That’s cool, tell it to someone who cares. You’ll feel super active this month, even if you’ve fallen out of exercising lately. Suddenly, you’ll form some awesome new gym habits (boxing, anyone?) and stick with them.
The full moon on the 10th highlights your work/life balance, making you wonder if all those extra hours you’ve been logging lately are really worth it. Then, when the Sun moves into Aquarius on the 20th, you’ll make some new connections to give you a solid boost on the career and personal front.
TAURUS (APRIL 20–MAY 20)
So…you’ve got kind of a weird-but-awesome energy going on in the first part of the month, Taurus. The full moon on the 10th makes you feel like everything is just ~gelling~ for you. Things are cruising at work, your social cal is packed, and you’ve even been working out on the reg—go, you! But, at the same time, things will also feel super intense in allll areas of your life (gulp).
If you’ve been phoning it in at work, you’ll start to feel a little insecure about where you stand. That can light a fire under you. Maybe it's time to look into taking some extra courses to build up your knowledge—it never hurts, after all. The new moon on the 24th brings up some new ideas about your career, helping you figure out how to make things happen for you on the work front. Maybe it’s a new job, or maybe it’s just being more productive when you’re in the office. Whatever it is, once you land on a plan, you’ll be golden.
GEMINI (MAY 21–JUNE 20)
You totally aced your gift-giving game this year, buuut now you’ve got to deal with the bills. The full moon on the 10th stirs up some worries about your spending. Did you blow too much over the holidays? Tbh, it’s really about your mindset and getting a handle on things. Don’t stress it—you’ve got this.
Things have been seamless at work, and you can plan on that continuing. Now isn’t the best time to make a big move, so just keep crushing it on the job, and the rewards will come. The new moon on the 24th has you dreaming up your next big adventure. Now's the time to plan that trip of a lifetime to Peru with your BFF. You’ll feel more chill just thinking about it, trust.
CANCER (JUNE 21–JULY 22)
Sure, you’ve heard "new year, new you" enough times already to make you automatically roll your eyes at the phrase, but Mars is making it happen for you this month. You’ll be all about doing everything you need to get your sh*t together on the health and life front this month. Suddenly, you’ll ditch that junk food habit, go into beast mode at the gym, and Marie Kondo your whole dang life.
Stressing over your career lately? You’ll suddenly feel the urge to take a beat and just chill on all that. Your job pays the bills, and that’s never a bad thing. If it’s not perfect, that’s okay—you’ll get your dream gig eventually.
LEO (JULY 23–AUGUST 22)
The holidays can be rough, but luckily Mars is here to do you a solid in the aftermath. It’s in a sector of your chart about getting out, letting loose, and just having fun. Btw, dancing can be really powerful for you right now, since you’ll really need something that feels creative and is physically active. Even if you’re not a total J.Lo on the dance floor, just crank up some tunes at home and have at it.
On the career front, you’ll be ready to make a change, so update your resume JIC something new and exciting comes along. Keep in close contact with your work buddies around the 24th—one of them knows someone who can help you get promoted or hook you up with another, even better job.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23–SEPTEMBER 22)
Family stuff can be…well, you know. And when Mars moves into a sector of your chart about home and family, you might have a few "differences of opinion" with your loved ones about how your place should look. For the record: If you live there, you get to decide.
For the first half of the month, Venus is in a sector of your chart about daily routine, making you ready to get sh*t done already.

You’ll be all about your health and how you can do yourself a solid in the long run.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23–OCTOBER 22)
You’ve got some stuff on your mind, Libra, and sometimes you want other people to know it. When Mars moves into a sector of your chart about communication on the 3rd, you’ll be a little more opinionated and outspoken than usual. And, tbh, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
You’ll also start to have a solid think about how much you like (or dislike) your job this month. The full moon on the 10th is in your house of career, inspiring you to mull over what you want to be known for on the work front. Spend some time **actually** thinking over what your next steps should be before you take them, mkay?
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23–NOVEMBER 21)
Money is kinda important for helping you do the things you want to do in life (because, money), and you’ll be hyper aware of that around the 3rd when Mars moves into a sector of your chart about finances. You’ll have to start thinking about your natural talents and how you can use them to increase your cash flow. That Etsy shop you’ve thought about opening for ages? Now’s the time to go for it.
Then, the full moon on the 10th is in a sector of your chart about education, travel, and your ideals. Are you still learning new things to help improve yourself? And, if not, how can you actually make it happen? It doesn’t have to be anything major: Look into an online course, or check out a new podcast. You’ll be better for it in the long run.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22–DECEMBER 21)
Mars moves into your sign on the 3rd, inspiring you to do whatever you want whenever you want it. You’ll feel strong, assertive, and ready to take on the world.

The new moon on the 24th pushes you to find new knowledge that’ll make your everyday life easier. Wait, there’s a new gym opening up on your block? Time-saver! Have a mental check-in with your career this month, too. Is there new stuff you can be learning to help push you forward? If so, it’s time to get on that.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 19)
Happy birthday, Cap! Clearly, you’ve got your own back more than anyone else in this world, but sometimes you do little things that unintentionally trip you up (sorry, but it's true). You’ll be more than aware of them around the 3rd when Mars moves into Sagittarius. Don’t just brush those things off—actually do something about it.
Venus is in your second house of money this month, making it a great time to do some bargain shopping. The new moon on the 24th is in your house of money, making it a great time to come up with new ideas for your job. If you’re just over your current work situation, now is definitely the time to look for something new.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20–FEBRUARY 18)
It’s easy to put your friendships on autopilot, but this month you’ll give them a little extra TLC, thanks to Mars in your solar house of friendships. Make plans with the group chat to catch up over brunch, or have your best buds over for a potluck dinner. Simple things will go a long way.
Later, the full moon on the 10th makes you want to focus a little more on your health. Are you doing everything you can to take care of yourself? If not, what needs to change? On the career front, you might feel a little testy about doing grunt work. Remember this: If you just buck up and do it, it gets done faster.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19–MARCH 20)
You’ve been told a million times that you’re talented, Pisces, but you’ve got to actually believe it to move forward at work. Luckily, Mars is here at the beginning of the month to remind you of that fact. Own your strengths, and you’ll be able to put your career dreams into action.
You’ll feel super fulfilled in your relationships this month, but you also might get a little swamped from trying to cram everyone in. Just know that it’s okay to say "no" here and there—your friends won’t abandon you over it. When Venus moves into your sign on the 13th, you'll look and feel amazing. Get out there and werk it—you so deserve it.
New decade, new challenges.
