One of the biggest astrological shifts that 2020 brings quite early on in the year is Saturn’s transit to Capricorn. This shift truly shakes things up, both physically and energetically, as stuck energies start to move ahead in a focused, goal-oriented direction.
Over the past several months, many clients and friends complained to me about feeling stuck, listless, worried, anxious and dull. While the intention was there to take action and to make many things happen, things never got going. Combine this with India’s unspirited economic climate, and you start to absorb the wearisome and dreary energy. But Saturn is moving into Capricorn to shake all that up!
This Friday, 24 January 2020, Saturn moves into his own house of Capricorn seeking accountability for your actions and handing out appraisals for your work in the last couple of years. A strict taskmaster and disciplinarian, Saturn takes no prisoners while handing out cut and dry sentences while reviewing your life and work.
Saturn’s energy is always to the point, never beats around the bush, doesn’t know how to sugarcoat bitter pills, and gets straight down to brass tacks. Being the natural tenth house of the zodiac, this transit affects career in general for most of us, and for Aries in particular. Your hard work pays off, and you realize that all along when you thought that nobody cared and nobody watched when you worked in silence and by yourself, Saturn was always watching. In 2020, you will get the results and evaluation of all your work.
Here’s how the next two and a half years (2020 till mid 2022) will be for each of the signs. This is analysed from your ascendant sign as per your Vedic astrology chart. If you don’t know your ascendant, contact www.goldenswanhealing.com
Aries
Have you done your duty to society and, more importantly, to yourself? Your highest responsibilities, your dharma, and your karma will come under the scanner. If you have been slacking at work and trying to take short cuts, you will soon realize that they fall flat and don’t bring the desired results. The planets in Capricorn in your natal chart will determine the shift in relationships, especially at the work place. Saturn rewards complete honesty with the self, and it doesn’t care for those who hustle for survival or instant success.
Taurus
This is a good period to learn new subjects, gain knowledge, and immerse in universal knowledge. You will cross paths with teachers and mentors that trigger long-held beliefs in you. Be open to new ideas, and flow like water around the rocks. Take care of your father’s health. You will want to pay attention to your marriage, too. Both income and expenditure increase.
Gemini
You will be pushed toward spiritual work and occult arts. You will want to know more about mantras and remedies to shift energies to a more positive place. There could be obstacles to your path through delays and rejection — much more than usual. Be aware of this, and without getting upset, move forward gently with grace and compassion. It’s especially important to not upset anyone or to project your discomfort on to others.
Cancer
Your relationships will be front and centre during this transit. Marriage and work relationships come under stress. Saturn teaches detachment and emotional control. These will be put to the test for you in the next two years. In 2020, May to September could be especially stressful. A move of residence or job is also highly likely. Hold on to your savings and don’t yet invest in anything big.
Leo
This is a good time for work success. You will find that your bosses and seniors at work are pleased with your contributions. A promotion and/or raise are in order. You may even be given extra responsibility. You do need to take care of your health and ensure that you are investing in your long-term health management. Now that things are going well for you, be mindful of not getting too brash or egotistical in your interactions. This, like everything else, is also a phase.
Virgo
There could be stress in the relationship sector. If you’re planning to marry or deepen your commitment to a loved one, you will realize that there is more planning to be done before you can tie the knot. You will go through a phase of questioning your philosophy and the role of religion in your life. If you’re at that phase in your life, you will want to have children of your own, or spend more time around children.
Libra
Pay attention to your domestic life. Its demands weigh heavily on you because all you want to do is run away to work. But you need to bring more harmony to life at home. Spend more time with your family at the dining table talking about life and their interests. Work could also be stressful but it’s nothing that you cannot handle. You will be able to use your stoic emotional stability to get work done. Your mother’s health needs your attention.
Scorpio
You will want to bring greater balance to work and life. It’s not going to be only about work, you will also include play in your schedule more consciously. This will improve your health and relationships a great deal. There is a focus on personal fun and happiness. You will want to spend more time doing things that truly bring you joy. You could travel slow, simply for the pleasure of movement rather than to tick places off your bucket list. Pay attention to your health in the second half of the year.
Sagittarius
Put away savings for a rainy day. You may feel the stress of unexpected expenses. Go slow and spend only on the things that you absolutely need. Your immediate family members may cause some mental stress and agony. You will have to address their role and importance in your life. You will have to also create healthy boundaries with them so that you can stand tall in your full strength and power. When talking to people, be calm and use a soft voice. Don’t use harsh words or a hurtful tone.
Capricorn
You will face the tussle between your mind and your heart. You will want to flow with your heart’s desire but your mind is asking you to be more pragmatic. This affects relationships. When you follow the heart blindly, it may make you feel good momentarily but you will have to bear the consequences over the long term. The period demands much relationship management. You may begin to feel let down and isolated. Take time to be by yourself and don’t jump to any conclusions.
Aquarius
Put a lid on expenses! You will find that the bills pile up and you’re unable to see where you’re spending so much despite your lifestyle not having undergone a major change. Be smart about your finances and don’t spend on anything unnecessary. You will be tempted to travel for pleasure and to explore the world. At any other time, this is a good idea but not in the coming year. It will lead to wasteful expenditure. Instead, focus on growing your spiritual knowledge. Setting up a daily routine will help you manage your stresses.
Pisces
This is a good transit for you, bringing many positive results. You will have a great relationship with your children, deepening your understanding. Work also fares well, and your relationships, both personal and professional, improve. Finances are looking good, too. You will look to travel and gain more positive life-affirming experiences. This is a good year for expanding your horizons.
