Twenty-twenty is shaping up to be a big year full of change, challenge and triumph. Yasmin Boland reveals what’s in store for you in our annual horoscope guide.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
ALL ABOUT ARIES. Ruled by blazing red planet Mars, you’re the fireball of the zodiac. You take the party with you wherever you go, and we love you for this. You charge through life at full speed – go for it, but remember that not everyone can keep up with you. Also, you have a temper that can melt plastic!
2020 overview
2020 will be high pressure for you but it will force you to transform into the best person you can be. Your challenge now is to leave behind the old you and allow a new you to be reborn. Work will play a large part in this process.
Your 2020 affirmation: When you’re stressed, remind yourself, “Pressure turns carbon into diamonds.”
THE best time of year for you to change your life
All of 2020 is potentially amazing for you, but mid-January and early April are stand-out periods.
When it comes to love in 2020
You have as good love stars as anyone else but you also have incredible work stars. The potential problem is that you could work so hard you leave little time for romance. Be warned!
Best time to make money
Making money online will really work for you this year – whether that’s about running a site or doing online consultations. Early March looks especially auspicious.
You also need to know that September 10 to November 14 sees your planet Mars going into a rare retrograde cycle. This is a reminder from the universe to slow down.
Try this, for the good of your soul Slow down. Breathe. Create a morning routine dedicated to calm.
Fashion notes
Wear red – and anything else that sets pulses racing.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
ALL ABOUT TAUREANS. Your symbol is a bull and they can be both stubborn and raging. But you’re also ruled by Venus, the planet of pleasure and caresses. Summing up: you’re strong, earthy and gorgeous.
2020 overview
These are amazing times to be a Taurean, thanks to the relatively recent arrival of the planet of electricity and changes, Uranus, in your sign. If you’re feeling like you’ve stuck your fingers into the great socket of life, now you know why. Manage this long cycle with regular grounding; take your shoes off and walk on the earth.
Your 2020 affirmation: “I am liberated from the ties that bind!”
THE best time of year for you to change your life
With the planet of radical change, Uranus, in your sign, change is inevitable for you now. Go with it.
When it comes to love in 2020
The danger now is that you’re evolving as a person and leaving your partner behind. If you’re attached, make sure you keep them up to date with where you are in life and what you’re planning.
Best time to make money
Mid-year looks extra promising. Golden 2020 rule: the more financially independent you can be, the better.
You also need to know that You should work very hard from January to March, because the efforts you put in then are likely to pay off long-term, once Saturn moves into your career zone on March 22.
Try this, for the good of your soul Once a week (at least) take yourself off into nature to relax.
Fashion notes
Taureans are all about earthiness, so look to organics such as natural cottons and breezy linens in neutral tones for your style fix.
Gemini May (21 – June 20)
ALL ABOUT GEMINIS. Without Gemini, there would be no conversation, no exchange of ideas and no fun flirting at parties. You are the social butterflies of the world, in the nicest possible way. And you’re smart. Yes, of course one can talk people into and out of things, but does that mean you should? Check your heart before you engage your mouth and you won’t go too wrong in 2020.
2020 overview
If you have overspent recently, use the 2020 energy to rein in things, and disciplined Saturn will help you. By mid-year, Geminis who wish to travel for work or study abroad, have super supportive stars.
Your 2020 affirmation: “All my relationships are evolving!”

Fashion notes
Geminis change all the time, so your style is ever-shifting and eclectic.
Cancer June (21 – July 22)
ALL ABOUT CANCERIANS. Ruled by the beautiful silvery moon, which waxes and wanes, you have a well-deserved reputation for being mysterious, highly emotional and nearly always nurturing. Just as you are there for people, they tend to be there for you. This is a good thing, as you can also be quite needy sometimes!
2020 overview
The good news for you is that at least some of the pressure of the past few years is finally going to ease off. March to July gives you breathing space, so take some time off if you can.

So even though you still have a chance to fulfil your life potential and purpose, which can be as intense as it sounds, there should be more fun (and travel) in the new year.

Fashion notes

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
ALL ABOUT VIRGOS. Virgos are the quiet achievers of the zodiac. You’re helpful and modest and we all love you. Make sure you aren’t too modest for your own good, though. You can’t do enough for other people, but issues arise when you do so much that you end up becoming resentful. That’s toxic.
2020 overview
The good news for you is that it looks like you’re going to have more fun in 2020. You tend to minimise your own need to let your hair down at the best of times, but this condition became acute in 2019. Thankfully the worst of that cycle is over and while you’re probably still a little bit too diligent for your own good, overall 2020 should bring more fun.
Your affirmation for the year: “The most important people in my life inspire me!”
The best time of the year to change your life
February, July and October all bring chances for you to dream it and do it!
When it comes to love in 2020

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
ALL ABOUT LIBRANS. Librans live to relate. You’re happy when you’re with a best friend or a lover, and happiest when your lover is your best friend. You’re suave and debonair, stylish and sometimes just a tad, dare we say, looks-obsessed or sometimes even vain.
2020 overview
The pressure at home, with family specifically and your private life in general, is lightening at last. Yes, there will still be fireworks but there should also be a lot more fun, too. In relationships, the roller-coaster ride is over and the healing has begun. If you’ve become addicted to someone who is just too unpredictable, this is the time to make self-love your priority.
Your affirmation for the year: “All my relationships are healing.”
The best time of year for you to change your life
In April, when massive shifts in your personal life are likely. On March 8 anything could happen and it could be exciting.
When it comes to love in 2020
Focus on people who make you feel good and who can help you to heal any past traumas. Avoid people who seem to want to see how far they can push you. Your toughest time is when you don’t have anyone special in your life. Luckily you’re an amazing flirt and attract admirers wherever you go, naturally.
You also need to know that Introducing a daily spiritual practice will be life-changing. When you sit in silence to meditate, for example, amazing things happen. Clarity comes. Answers come.

No-one could accuse you of being a social flibbertigibbet. We get it. You’re profound! Just don’t insist that we also “go there” every time.
2020 overview
You’re now under the influence of the planet of mayhem and madness, Uranus. It has taken up residence in your seventh house, where it’s sending beams of craziness and daring you to break out of anything in your life that feels restrictive. This year is about you really learning to drive this energy. Dropping any control-freak tendencies will really help you.
Your affirmation for the year: “Live and let live!”
The best time of year for you to change your life
At the end of June you’ll have the best chance you’ve had in 12 years to really transform.
When it comes to love in 2020

2020 overview
This year sees a series of rolling connections between your planet Jupiter and boundary-dissolving Neptune, the planet of the divine.

2020 overview
You are the sign with the biggest astrological drama in 2020. Planetary patterns playing out in your sign mean you can do just about anything you set your mind to now.

It’s a massive year for you as the mighty planet Saturn makes its first foray into your sign in 30 years. You have tons of lessons to learn from this cycle.
