The Astrology of Love & Sex, by
Annabel Gat. Chronicle Books LLC,
680 Second Street, San Francisco CA
94107, chroniclebooks.com. 287 pages,
hardcover, $19.95. Digital editions
available.
It didn’t take more than a quick
thumb-through to find that this is not
your grandma’s astrological compatibility
manual, but then it is not your grandma’s
world anymore either. As an example:
in a quick thumb-through of a couple of
the introductory chapters, without much
effort I came up with
words and phrases like
dominant, submissive,
kinky, “sending nudes,”
“postcoital cuddles,”
and a single use of a
word that began with “f”
and did not end in “...
abulous.” And no I was
not just looking for the
juicy parts, but mention
this just to let the reader
know up front that
this book approaches
compatibility in the
honest and forthright
way people approach
8 Horoscope Guide
by Kenneth Irving
love, sex, and relationships in general
in the 21st century, whether in private
conversation, on the Internet, on cable
channels, or even on broadcast TV.
This is, as the book’s subtitle says,
a “Modern Compatibility Guide,” and
I suspect for that reason alone it will
gain a wide readership in no time at all.
Modern it is in the sense I just brought
up, but it is also modern and refreshing
in the way Gat approaches astrology
itself. Her advice is based entirely on
Sun signs, but she covers what doubters
and critics might have to say about that
in the first few pages
by explaining what
astrology is, what it
can and cannot do, and
knocking down some
of the misconceptions
about it. Following that,
she manages to explain
how sign compatibility
works, in clear and
understandable language,
and then spends a few
pages on a quiz that will
get the reader inside the
book and checking it
out in detail before they
know it.
 The writing is the best, and between
the author’s style and the way she has
organized the book, it is both entertaining
and instructive, and the design of the
book is absolutely beautiful. You will
not fall asleep while reading it, because
there is something to pay attention to on
every page. Annabel Gat’s The Astrology
of Love & Sex would make a great gift
book for a friend or lover, but it is way
more than that, and I have no trouble
recommending it for anyone interested
in astrology, as well as for astrologers at
all levels.

Star Sisters: An Astrologer’s Memoir
of Twin Loss by Linda “Moonrabbit”
Zlotnick. Moon Rabbit Press. 232 pages,
paper. $20.00. Digital editions available.
The depth of grief one twin feels at
the death of the other is difficult for
the “un-twinned” like this reviewer to
understand, but reading this memoir
makes that grief real
and close-up, so I
now understand it a
little better. From the
astrologer’s point of view
I can also understand
how, as she says when
speaking of her sister in
the next-to-last chapter,
“...it was the study of a
chart cast at the moment
of her death, a death
chart, that helped me
make sense of my loss.”
This book begins with
the author at her sister’s
death bed, where she
carefully notes the time,
and some days later, with the shock
subsiding, she goes to her office to do
the death chart (her first, as she says).
At that point she realizes that her twin
sister, Lou Ann, died “...at the exact
beginning of our second Saturn Return,”
and feels that this sends the message
that she (Linda) is about to start on a
new path.
Despite the fact that it begins
with a timed event, this is not a book
about astrology as such, though we
do learn something about the life of
a professional astrologer. It contains
not a single chart, nor even, unless I
missed it, any data from which one
could construct a chart, as it is meant
to convey a larger human story. As the
author goes through her memories of
life with her family, her twin sister, her
wife and the two children they raised
together, occasionally a reference to a
chart, absent data, does come into the
narrative. However, I’m not marking
this as a deficiency, but rather noting it
so there is no confusion
about why I recommend
this to people who
know and use astrology.
The technical side of
it matters, but how we
make use of it in our
lives is the real point.
Star Sisters is an
example of the best use
possible of how that
works, and that makes
it meaningful and
informative even for
those who are not twins,
yet have experienced
profound grief from the
loss of a loved one. P

Your kabalistic message for January
A
ccording to the principles of
numerology, the year 2020 reduces
to 4 (2+0+2+0=4), a number that
is associated with concentration, hard
work, and applying your best efforts to
getting the job done. This is a year to be
introspective and reflect on how you can
become a better person and live up to
your goals. You can use your talents and
skills to pay it forward and give back to
the community in the form of mentoring,
volunteering, and generally doing good
deeds.
We add the number for the current
year to the month number (January is 1,
December is 1+2=3) to your own birthday
number (1st=1, 31st=3+1=4) to calculate
your vibration for the month.
FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 1st,
10th, 19th, and 28th of any month
Venus-6 vibrations send a message of
love and romance, which is the perfect
way to begin the new year. Celebrate
with your significant other, but remember
that your resolutions include improving
communications so that you do not brood,
or hold onto bad feelings. Straighten out
misunderstandings right away and do not
go to sleep angry. If you are single, go out
with friends who may introduce you to
someone special. Set your sights in that
direction and your soul mate may soon
appear.
10 Horoscope Guide
BY THE
NUMBERS
FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 2nd,
11th, 20th, and 29th of any month
Uranus-7 vibrations may bring the
unexpected even when you think you
can control what lies ahead. Since life
does not always work out that way, a few
curve balls may be thrown at you, so be
prepared. Develop a Plan B so you can
switch goals easily if those you set for
yourself don’t turn out exactly as you
planned. You may discover that the new
direction you take works out even better.
Just stay aware, and stay open to what the
universe provides.
FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 3rd,
12th, 21st, and 30th of any month
Mars-8 vibrations will encourage you
to get back in shape after indulging a
little too much during the holidays. Place
physical exercise high on your list of
New Year’s resolutions. This can include
competitive sports, taking a daily run, or
working out in the gym. Persuade your
significant other or close friend to come
along so you can transform a repetitive
activity into a social one. This is the best
way to relieve stress and to stay healthy
and fit.
FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 4th,
13th, 22nd, and 31st of any month
Neptune-9 vibrations create an envi–
ronment where your creative expression can
thrive and prosper. Find an isolated space
or studio where you can transport yourself
to another realm. Let your imagination take
you on a journey that can be expressed
through music, art, poetry, dance, or any
artistic medium to which you gravitate. The
form is not as important as a finished project
that you can be proud of and present to those
who believe in you. In doing so, you can
inspire others to pursue their own dreams.
FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 5th,
14th, and 23rd of any month
Sun-1 vibrations will place confidence-
building at the top of your list of New
Year’s resolutions. Everyone needs a boost
now and then, especially if a major project
you were working on has not come to
fruition. Don’t brood about it. You have
two choices: get feedback on how to take it
in a new direction or leave the old enterprise
behind and start fresh with a completely
new idea. Focus on your accomplishments,
move forward, and ask for assistance and
support when you need it.
FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 6th,
15th, and 24th of any month
Moon-2 vibrations are going to encourage
you to put family first especially since seeing
everyone over the holidays made a lasting
impression. With email, texting, and Skype,
it is easy to keep in touch with those who live
miles away and whom you hardly ever see.
If you are on the outs with any relatives, or
if you had a disagreement over the holidays,
take the high road, apologize, and move on.
Life is short and, as you’ve already noticed,
blood is much thicker than water.
FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 7th,
16th, and 25th of any month
Jupiter-3 vibrations may open up
new opportunities for advancement that
you never thought possible. The catch
is that you may need more training or
certification to qualify for a new position.
That should not be a problem since there
are so many educational programs in
which you can participate, whether they
take place in person or online. While it
may seem laborious to hit the books, it
will be most advantageous for you. Think
about long-term ramifications rather than
short-term inconvenience.
FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 8th,
17th, and 26th of any month
Saturn-4 vibrations will provide you
with a reality check, as it forces you
to come down from the euphoria and
pandemonium of the holiday season.
Be prepared to resume your schedule,
which includes catching up on the work
that is most important to you, whether it
is a career or volunteer activities. Pace
yourself so that your routine includes daily
physical exercise and regular healthful
meals. Apart from work, set aside time to
do enjoyable and relaxing activities with
people you love.
FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 9th,
18th, and 27th of any month
Mercury-5 vibrations may bring a new
world of networking invitations that will
allow you to meet people who share your
interests, some of which are fascinating
yet obscure. This could lead you to joining
a study group, book club, or intellectual
meeting that have absolutely nothing to do
with your day job. Delegate responsibilities
on the home front and ask for help if you
need it. That way you do not have to forfeit
any activities that arouse your curiosity or
bring you joy. P

FORECAST
by Jackie Slevin

Moving planets in the sky in January
present us with dynamic and ever-chang-
ing patterns that can bring opportuni-
ties for progress, times of frustration,
and moments of inspiration. This column
describes your Sun sign’s relationship to
these patterns, providing helpful insights
to guide you through the changing scene.
ARIES
HLOVE: First Week. January’s chill
extends into your love life, but camarade-
rie among friends hits the high notes. An
instructor catches your eye. Second Week.
Here comes Cupid, with his arrow per-
fectly aimed. Heartthrobs are charismatic,
with a need to help others. Third Week.
Venus in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus,
placing romantic pursuits in unusual set-
tings; attractions are instant and magnetic.
Fourth Week. Venus squares Mars, mak-
ing passion sizzle, and then it conjoins
Neptune, sending love to transcendental
heights. Ride the wave.
HMONEY: Your values undergo a change,
to put it mildly, with Uranus in Taurus, the
house of your cash flow and possessions (the
2nd). Spontaneous purchases and sudden
donations come into focus, along with the
need for a different method of paying your
monthly bills and managing your income.
On the 10th, Uranus stations direct, creating
a turn of events in your spending, and you’re
incline to give away whatever you don’t need
to those who are less fortunate.
HHEALTH: On the 13th Venus enters
Pisces, your house of rehabilitation and
convalescence (the 12th). Rest and relax-
ation work best near the water, a steam
room, or a sauna. A long soak in a hot
tub works wonders for your overworked
muscles and nerves. Actively working out
in a gym isn’t high on your list of priorities
now; you’d rather take it easy. The Moon
transits Virgo on the 14th in the house of
medical issues (the 6th). Micromanage
details here.
TAURUS
HLOVE: First Week. A casual introduction
in a circle of friends becomes something
more. Music and art are grist for the mill.
Second Week. You’ll look twice at a new
neighbor, courier, or commuter. Family
values are front and center. Third Week. A
heartthrob opens new doors of discovery,

20 Horoscope Guide
and you’re all eyes and ears. Information is
processed and internalized. Fourth Week.
Instructors, advisers, or cross-cultural peo-
ple spark an interest and you’ll take it and
run. Good fortune follows.
HMONEY: On the 3rd, Mars enters
Sagittarius, the house of your partner’s
income, credit cards, insurance, loans,
and debts (the 8th). Extending yourself
beyond a comfortable financial boundary
is a temptation, along with an interest to
invest in a cross-cultural venture. The
Moon transits Gemini on the 7th and 8th in
the house of your cash flow (the 2nd), pre-
senting you with clever ways to keep your
assets circulating toward the profit margin.
Diversification wins the day.
HHEALTH: Hanging out with friends
leads to sharing meals, second helpings,
and rich desserts. An additional inch
on your waistline may appear, but your
dogged determination burns it off slowly
but surely. The Moon transits Libra, your
house of health maintenance (the 6th), on
the 15th and 16th. A serene approach here
turns medical appointments into social
events with discussions about maintaining
balance while exercising, placing yoga and
workouts into sharp focus. Alternate forms
of medicine spark an interest.
GEMINI
HLOVE: First Week. Mars enters
Sagittarius, inclining partners to demand
freedom or simply take it. Travel
plans are on the agenda. Second Week.
Communications are interrupted or
become misinterpreted, but clarity finally
arrives. Cupid hovers over someone in the
upper ranks. Third Week. Passion heats up
while performing career-related tasks with
a heartthrob, but commitment is elusive.
Fourth Week. The scenario leans toward
falling in love with someone who’s out of
your reach or is already in a relationship.
HMONEY: On the 10th, the Full Moon in
Cancer lights up the house of your assets
and income (the 2nd). Expenses related to
food and family members are your number
one priority, and budget cuts or additions
will be implemented as necessary. Prized
pieces in collections are considered for
purchase or for sale, and emotional attach-
ments in these matters run deep and wide.
The Moon transits Capricorn on the 22nd
and the 23rd in the house of debt (the 8th).
Pay it down.
HHEALTH: Your delicate nerves are
often functioning on overdrive, and wind-
ing down isn’t one of your strong points.
Uranus stations direct in Taurus on the
10th, in your house of behind-the-scenes
activity (the 12th). Your definition of
relaxation will undergo a sudden, abrupt
change, and regaining your composure
comes more quickly and opens doors of
opportunity in the process. Bad habits
that impact your health are addressed and
you’ll take steps to correct them. They’ve
eluded you in the past.
CANCER
HLOVE: First Week. Mars in Scorpio
transits your house of romance (the 5th).
Desire runs deep, but be aware of ploys
for control. Second Week. Venus enters
Pisces, casting your eye toward an advis-
er, teacher, or cross-cultural bon vivant.
Travel and education enter the picture.
Third Week. Cupid flies over kitchens,
restaurants, and service providers. Envy
and outbursts appear on the 17th; hold
your temper. Fourth Week. Venus in Pisces
sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn, giving you a
chance to launch a relationship with a high
achiever.
JANUARY 2020 21
HMONEY: On the 16th, Mercury enters
Aquarius, the house of insurance, your
partner’s income, credit cards, and debt
(the 8th). Two days later Mercury squares
Uranus in Taurus, creating unusual mone-
tary conditions that demand your attention
followed by a quick fix. The New Moon
in Aquarius on the 24th sets up a different
set of circumstances with your long-term
security and financial management, and
progressive methods will be put to good
use. Unusual investment opportunities
pique your curiosity.
HHEALTH: The Full Moon in Cancer on
the 10th activates the house of your vitality
(the 1st). Pamper your stomach with famil-
iar foods, but keep your medicine chest
stocked. Mars enters Sagittarius on the 3rd
in the house of your diet, medical matters,
and daily routine (the 6th). Going over-
board on your favorite international cuisine
comes into focus, along with sampling
one you’ve never tried before. Having too
much of a good thing sparks indigestion,
but you’ll pay the piper in good time.
LEO
HLOVE: First Week. Mars enters
Sagittarius, your house of romance (the
5th). A cross-cultural or globetrotting
heartthrob sends you on a love chase.
Second Week. Talkfests and community
gatherings set the stage for hot-button
topics and mixed interpretations. Opinions
come on strong. Third Week. Cupid creates
a scenario of hot pursuits backed by an
educated approach and free-thinking prin-
ciples. Righteousness plays a role. Fourth
Week. The New Moon in Aquarius trig-
gers the house of relationships (the 7th).
Unusual liaisons are in the offing.
HMONEY: Mars enters Sagittarius on the
3rd in the house of speculation, high-risk
22 Horoscope Guide
ventures, sports, and entertainment (the
5th). On the 13th, Venus enters Pisces,
your house of shared incomes, credit cards,
insurance, and debt (the 8th). This level of
activity in these two houses can make your
bottom line plummet through excessive
high living or through prospective borrow-
ing and lending based on much hope and
few facts. Carefully analyze the fine print
before you spend.
HHEALTH: Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto
transit Capricorn, your house of health
maintenance (the 6th). This cluster of plan-
ets highlights knees, joints, skin, and hips
as weak spots that need pampering and a
watchful eye. Rashes, sprains, and den-
tal troubles loom large, and you’ll either
spend more time than usual at the phar-
macy or in a doctor’s office. On the 10th,
the Full Moon in Cancer illuminates the
house of downtime and convalescence (the
12th). The way to your heart is through
your stomach.
VIRGO
HLOVE: First Week. A kind, gentle soul
with an appreciation for the arts enters your
line of vision. Rapport happens instantly.
Second Week. The Full Moon in Cancer
lights up your house of friends (the 11th).
Conversation concerning food and shelter
forms a bond. Third Week. Persnickety
criticism morphs into skilled assistance
that serves a loving and humanitarian pur-
pose. Your aptitude for organization and
detail shines. Fourth Week. A love interest
takes root and blooms slowly. Kind ges-
tures and good manners leave an indelible
impression.
HMONEY: Glitches in bookkeeping are
a clarion call for you to find minor mis-
takes that are causing the major problems.
Within minutes corrections are made and
the columns balance to perfection. While
this damage control is seemingly effortless
to you, others are impressed with your
ability to meet the challenge. Watch out for
rash or dubious expenditures on the 20th;
your mate may spend needlessly, extend
credit, or assume debt. Your eagle eye can
avert a possible financial mishap.
HHEALTH: On the 14th, the Moon tran-
sits Virgo, your house of vitality (the
1st). Allergies, reactions, food fetishes,
prescription problems, and pharmacy runs
come into the crosshairs and you’ll prior-
itize accordingly, despite inconveniences
to yourself or others. The New Moon in
Aquarius on the 24th activates the house of
medical matters, your diet, and your exer-
cise regimen (the 6th). You’ll seek out the
most progressive trends in these areas and
implement them into your daily routine.
LIBRA
HLOVE: First Week. Your partner doesn’t
follow the crowd and insists on pursuing
specialized interests. You’ll look twice
at a neighbor. Second Week. Passions
take a back seat to rational thinking and
humane objectives. Equality will trump
unbridled desire every time. Third Week.
You’re attracted to someone who thinks
outside the box and leans toward pro-
gressive trends. Gaps are bridged and like
minds meet. Fourth Week. The New Moon
in Aquarius on the 24th triggers the house
of romance (the 5th). Cupid sends a text.
HMONEY: On the 10th, Uranus stations
direct in Taurus in the house of your
partner’s income, insurance, inheritances,
mortgages, financial settlements, and debts
(the 8th). Abrupt changes in these areas
require you to make snap decisions, but
you’ll carefully weigh all the pros and cons
to arrive at an impartial conclusion, despite
time constraints. Plans may unravel quick-
ly, but the resulting chaos opens doors
of opportunity that previously you would
have ignored.
HHEALTH: Venus enters Pisces on the
13th in your house of medical matters,
exercise, and your diet (the 6th). Social
occasions and errands of mercy get in
the way of keeping timely appointments
with doctors and dentists, so you’ll either
reschedule or place them on hold until fur-
ther notice. Sweets and fine dining seduce
you, as indulging here hits the high notes
of sophistication. Strenuous activities will
be postponed; you’re having too much fun
to fret over discrepancies in your body
mass index.
SCORPIO
HLOVE: First Week. The Moon transits
Taurus, your house of relationships (the
7th), inclining you to rely on your mate
for financial decisions. Second Week. On
the 13th, Venus enters Pisces, your house
of romance (the 5th). Cupid sweeps you
off your feet. Third Week. Events tran-
spire at a rapid pace, and passion moves
in. Sweethearts are creative, sacrificial,
and compassionate; cooperation thrives.
Fourth Week. If your love life appears too
good to be true, read between the lines for
possible misinterpretations.
HMONEY: On the 3rd, Mars enters
Sagittarius. the house of your cash flow
(the 2nd). Your spending will be sprin-
kled with far-flung ideas that are oriented
toward education, adventure, or cross-cul-
tural pursuits that include a touch of whim-
sy. Overspending looms large and the
technicalities of counting your change or
reconciling your accounts falls by the
wayside. Big plans need reining in, but
you’re caught up in financial prospects
JANUARY 2020 23
and possibilities. Manage wisely on the
20th and 21st; otherwise cash falls through
the cracks.
HHEALTH: An interest in medicines
that used internationally but not in your
locale takes root and flourishes, sending
you to the Internet for more information.
Familiar remedies no longer suit you, so
you’ll investigate and experiment as you
seek alternate forms of treatment. Noting
another’s malady, particularly one of your
mate’s, becomes a turn of events in your
search and makes you determined to find
a product to relieve pain or effect a cure.
SAGITTARIUS
HLOVE: First Week. Making commit-
ments to sweethearts isn’t one of your
strong points, Sagittarius. A love interest
may give you a dose of your own med-
icine. Second Week. Pretzel logic is rife
in dialogues with your significant other.
The truth sets you free every time. Third
Week. You’re attracted to someone with
an interest in alternative forms of medicine
or progressive education, or both. Fourth
Week. Cupid gives you a break and pres-
ents you with a sassy go-getter who’s as
freewheeling as you are.
HMONEY: The Full Moon in Cancer on
the 10th lights up your house of finan-
cial settlements, insurance, mortgages, and
debt (the 8th). Family issues are front and
center, and they involve long-term mone-
tary security. Put a plan of action in place
to ensure peace of mind in your future.
On the 22nd and 23rd the Moon transits
Capricorn in the house of your cash flow
(the 2nd). You’ll seek the finest at bargain
prices.
HHEALTH: Uranus stations direct in
Taurus on the 10th in the house of phy-
sicians, health maintenance, diet, and
24 Horoscope Guide
hygiene (the 6th). Information regarding a
medical issue has a shocking impact with
a ripple effect, and causes you to take an
about-face in your plan of action regarding
your health. An abrupt change of doc-
tors, prescriptions, or medical procedures
throws a monkey wrench into your daily
routine, so the closer you stay to natural
forms of healing, the better you’ll cope.
CAPRICORN
HLOVE: First Week. You’ll look twice
at someone in a quiet corner. Start a con-
versation and see where it leads. Second
Week. The Full Moon in Cancer lights
up the house of relationships (the 7th).
Partners become Mama or Papa Bear.
Third Week. Opportunity knocks for a
romantic fling; be gentle with transporta-
tion and communication issues before they
erupt and unravel. Fourth Week. Putting all
your cards on the table opens the commu-
nication lines and clarifies murky facts and
misunderstandings.
HMONEY: On the 10th, Uranus stations
in Taurus in the house of kids, teens,
sports, hobbies, romance, and entertain-
ment (the 5th). A sudden turn of events
in these matters can consume your hard-
earned dollars, but you may be having
too much fun to notice, or to be willing to
invest in developing a talent in order to see
what happens. The New Moon in Aquarius
on the 24th activates the house of your
income (the 2nd). Savvy decisions here
impact future plans.
HHEALTH: Mars enters Sagittarius on
the 3rd in your house of convalescence
and self-destructive habits (the 12th).
A philosophical approach to self-care
with solitude or meditation boosts your
well-being and keeps your spiritual out-
look intact despite conflicting opinions
from colleagues and mainstream reporting.
Withdrawing from social media and taking
a walk in the park helps you more than
surfing the web. Eliminating career-related
tension recharges your batteries. Increased
exercise helps you blow off steam.
AQUARIUS
HLOVE: First Week. At the moment, you
can take it or leave it; your mind is preoc-
cupied on present and future technological
upgrades. Second Week. Witty banter and
intellectual discussions spark a romantic
interest, despite disagreements on certain
topics. A community project brings intro-
ductions. Third Week. A new neighbor
catches your eye, and conversation fol-
lows. Similar interests lay the groundwork
for a friendship that leads to something
more. Fourth Week. Cupid sends you and
your sweetheart into private quarters, and
love comes bursting out all over.
HMONEY: Venus enters Pisces on the
13th in the house of your assets and income
(the 2nd). Holding onto your heard-earned
dollars is harder than usual; money goes
out to friends and loved ones in need and
for purchases that lean toward luxury. On
the 27th Venus conjoins Neptune in Pisces,
inclining you to spend lavishly on music,
the arts, or tickets to an entertainment
venue. Your tendency to count the pennies
goes on hold, especially if Cupid enters
the picture.
HHEALTH: The way to your well-being
is through your stomach, particularly on
the 10th when the Full Moon in Cancer
lights up the house of your diet, medical
matters, and your daily routine (the 6th).
Reveling in your favorite cuisine at home
or in a restaurant brings a singular satis-
faction that nothing else can match. Once
your food needs are sated here, you’re able
to tend to family and household matters
that spring up from nowhere and need your
attention.
PISCES
HLOVE: First Week. A new face in a
group attracts your attention with their
articulate conversation and breadth of
vision. Second Week. The Full Moon in
Cancer lights up the house of romance
(the 5th). A declaration of love knocks
you backward. Third Week. Best friends
become lovers, but commitment is moot.
Free-thinking and freedom of expression
is your umbrella. Fourth Week. A sacrifice
is required in order to immerse yourself in
a relationship, but in all likelihood you’ve
already done it.
HMONEY: Embracing a different set of
values impacts your spending and saving.
Shopping in different stores or venues adds
to your coffers in the form or making do
with less, and the outcome pleases you.
Skimping in other areas leaves you free to
spend more on hobbies, dining out, enter-
tainment, and your love life. Adjusting
accordingly is easier than you thought, and
the sacrifices become par for the course.
In the bitter end your bottom line will
balance.
HHEALTH: On the 11th and 12th the
Moon transits Leo in the house of medical
matters, diet, exercise, and your daily rou-
tine (the 6th). Wellness becomes dependent
on feeling good about yourself and cele-
brating your creativity in front of an audi-
ence, no matter how small. Appreciation
is the medicine you can’t buy anywhere,
but you’ll know where to find it. The New
Moon in Aquarius on the 24th stimulates
your house of solitude, rehabilitation, and
convalescence (the 12th). Find new ways
to break old habits. P

 Tomorrow’s News
Headlines in the Making
T
here is so much going on with
the planets this month, that it is
hard to know where to begin. A
good deal of the action centers on Saturn
and Pluto, yet focusing on what might
happen is not as simple as it might seem
at first glance. The big event, as noted
in the Key Aspects table, is centered
on the period from the 10th to the
13th, starting with a lunar eclipse just
a hair’s breadth away from a Saturn-
Pluto conjunction that is itself just nine
minutes of arc away from being exact. If
there is anything keeping such a scene
from being a complete train wreck it
is the fact that the South Node, which
had been toying with those two planets
26 Horoscope Guide
January
2020
by Anthony Grady
earlier in the year, has now moved away.
However, the Sun squaring Uranus on
the 23rd complicates the picture. Since
a transit of the Sun to an outer planet is
relatively quick compared to something
like two outer planets aspecting each
other, under some circumstances we
would have given this later contact only
a sentence or two. The fact is, though,
that there is a certain kinship between the
square on the 23rd and what happens with
the eclipse, Saturn, and Pluto during that
earlier period. Both periods involve the
Sun, so both could center on people with
power, whether political or economic.
The time from the 10th to the 13th looks
very much like a power struggle of
the sort that we might see when, say, a
legislature tries to reign in (or throw out)
the person at the top. If so, the follow-up
with Sun squaring Uranus could very
well identify a reaction by that individual.
A historical example, and a favorite
one at that, combines some of the same
planets we see separately this month, but
in a single incident. The example is useful
not just for that reason, but also because
people who watched events unfold in that
earlier incident felt a real sense that the
nation and its political institutions were
quite suddenly in serious trouble. This
sense is hard to convey to anyone too
young to have witnessed what came to
JANUARY 2020 27
be called the “Saturday Night Massacre,”
on October 20, 1973. The short version
of the story is that President Richard
Nixon, under investigation by a special
prosecutor, and by a House committee
considering impeachment, suddenly
announced he was firing that prosecutor,
and eliminating that position entirely,
in order to avoid handing over tape
recordings made during meetings in the
White House. In protest, the Attorney
General and his Deputy Attorney General
both resigned. The public at large
expressed outrage at an abuse of power
that they sensed was meant to withhold
the details of a crime that started with a
break-in and continued with a cover-up
28 Horoscope Guide
that had already been revealed in public
testimony by people who had worked in
his administration or for his re-election
committee. The complete story can be
found easily in online news archives, and
sources such as Wikipedia.
I invite readers to do a chart set for
Washington, D.C. at 8:00 p.m. EDT on
October 20, 1973, the published time
for when the Attorney General arrived
at Nixon’s office to work out what was
to happen that evening. The public
announcement occurred about half an
hour later. At that time, Saturn was 4
degrees past the South Node, and squaring
Pluto within less than half a degree; Mars
and Jupiter were square within about 8
minutes of arc, and Mars was about 2
degrees past a trine to the North Node,
while the Sun was a little over 3 degrees
past a conjunction to Uranus.
The point here is that the configurations
in that chart and the January aspects are
similar enough that we can expect to
see events with a similar tone stretched
over three weeks during January. This
is not to predict something that is an
exact match of that 1973 event, but
rather something reminiscent of it. It
could happen here or in another country,
in fact. But it is fair to say that January
could well feature some shakeup of this
type, so we should keep this in mind as
we follow the news. P

M
ore years ago than I care to
remember I was faced with the
problem of writing a predictive
article about a presidential election that
was several months away from the party
conventions, and with multiple candidates
still in contention. Many of these candidates
were relative unknowns, or at least untried
outside of the fact that most held lower
political positions. On top of that, of course,
there was the fact that almost none of them
had reliable birth times, if indeed they had
publicly available birth times at all.
My effort at making any sense of that
election wasn’t much on the mark, though
it did remind me that observation is more
useful than textbook thinking. My analysis
of these candidates’ prospects required
me to use natal aspects and outer-planet
transits, and I tended to treat those transits
in a rather traditional way. For example, a
candidate receiving a square or conjunction
of Saturn or Pluto to his natal Sun would
get a thumbs down, and a candidate whose
Sun received a trine to Jupiter might get
a thumbs up. In fact, it turned out quite
the opposite, and when I went back to
look at it after the election was over, the
30 Horoscope Guide
by Kenneth Irving
basic picture seemed to be more like this:
a candidate was helped by hard aspects to
the Sun (e.g., squares or oppositions) from
Saturn and Pluto and hindered by aspects to
the Sun (especially trines or sextiles) from
Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. Looking at
only the natal Sun and only these patterns
seemed useful for separating the early drop-
outs from the rest of the pack. During
presidential years after that, I paid attention
to such patterns, and found them moderately
useful except when a third-party candidate
was involved. I hasten to add here that I’m
not saying these are the only astrological
factors that apply to success or failure in an
election, but rather that they seem to have
some validity as a contributing factor.
Over the years following this
observation, I wrote a few more election
articles, made a survey of past elections,
and spent time keeping watch over the rise
and fall of various politicians in between
presidential years and came to feel that
the basic observations just described were
sound, but only if used carefully. One
example of this was the 2016 election,
when there were so many aspects between
the outer planets that there was no obvious
way to apply those rules. For that reason, polling as this is written (Joe Biden, Bernie
I judged that one as too close to call, and Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren) get little

with Biden having been crowned

mentioned above, Saturn and
Pluto, are in a close relationship
to each other all year long, with
Jupiter and Neptune thrown into
the mix as well. This makes
for a real challenge not just to
the candidates, but to those who
would predict their performance
over the coming months.
In that respect, the close

Pluto from January to November
is most interesting in who it

Shining Future!
The planets’ bright promise
for the year 2020

he celebration begins! Pop
open a bottle of champagne,
sparkling water, or apple juice,
and celebrate! 2020 has arrived with an
impressive lineup of astrological events
that will move us onward and upward
toward a brighter future. The planets
can at times seem to both help or hinder
us as we move along, but the real key to
that brighter future is us, and we can do
the best to reach it based on how aware
we are of planetary movements, and
how we deal with them the challenges
they present.
To give just a small example of what
we face, 2020 features six eclipses,
two more than usual, four of which
will be lunar eclipses and two of which
will be solar eclipses. Another good
example is the conjunction of Saturn
and Pluto in January, an event that
occurs about once every 35 years.
The last such conjunction occurred in
November of 1982 in Libra, marking
a time of thoughtfulness that would
have led to discussions and decisions
about our goals in life. This year it
happens in Capricorn, a sign of finality
and decisiveness that will have many
of us making changes we have long
considered.
Three other major cosmic transitions
are key features of the year: Jupiter
and Saturn entering Aquarius, and the
North Node entering Gemini. Saturn
will tiptoe into Aquarius in March,
the North Node makes his move into
Gemini in May, and Jupiter will join
Saturn in Aquarius in December. Added
to that are actions involving the inner
planets that bring us three Mercury
retrograde periods, accompanied by
the usual havoc interrupting travel and
communication, as well as retrogrades
by Venus and Mars. Venus retrogrades
in the sign of Gemini in May, while
Mars does so in Aries, his own sign, in
September.
If you look back over the last two
paragraphs, you’ll see that three inner
planets will be taking a look back at
the past with their retrogrades, as two
outer planets plus the Nodes give us
a look at the future by entering new
signs. Another point to keep in mind
is the way in which these movements
emphasize the three Air signs: Gemini,
Libra, and Aquarius. The Air element
focuses us on matters relating to how
we think and how we express our
thoughts to others. As one example of
what this could mean in a presidential
election year, we might for a change
find that issues turn out to be more
important than personalities. Due to
Mercury going retrograde in Pisces,
Cancer, and Scorpio, the Water element
has its say, perhaps by bringing back
sentimental thoughts of times past. But
as to the future, let us now take a more
detailed look at what the Sun, Moon,
and planets working together will bring
us month by month in 2020.
Detox, De-Stress, Desire
January: The first of the six eclipses
of 2020 will be a lunar eclipse at 20
degrees of Cancer on January 10. Every
such eclipse is in essence a heightened
Full Moon, and its energy is usually at
maximum strength for about five days
after it occurs. This means that from
the 10th through the 15th everyone you
know may seem to be overly sensitive,
and perhaps a bit moody. On the other
hand, highly intuitive people may find
JANUARY 2020 33
that their innate creative talents can
be used in a more refined and positive
way.
As Cancer is ruled by the Moon,
the barometer of our emotions, our
feelings will be easily activated, and
our response to both happy events and
sad circumstances may at times be over
the top. Try to find ways to detox and
de-stress yourself when it seems that
you have an urge to lose your cool,
whether through losing you temper or
losing control of your sense of humor.
Saturn is close to Pluto all month
long, with an exact conjunction between
the two occurring on January 12, 2020,
at 22 Capricorn. The meet-up between
these two power players promises to
bring subtle, yet long-lasting changes
to individuals and countries alike.
Shifting and shaking vibrations will
occur in the political realm, with world
leaders exiting their positions, often in
an uncooperative manner.
You may experience upheaval in
either your personal life or in your
career with this aspect, especially if
this conjunction occurs in the 1st, 4th,
7th or 10th houses of your birth chart.
People who have their Sun, Ascendant
or Moon in the signs of Capricorn or
Scorpio will also feel the effects of this
aspect very keenly. We can all use this
Saturn-Pluto period to really reflect on
our life goals. If you aren’t moving in
the right direction, now is the time to
stop, change direction, and get back on
track.
An interesting highlight of the
month will be the Chinese New Year
on January 25, starting a year that lasts
until February 11, 2021. 2020 is the year
of the Rat, and the element paired with
34 Horoscope Guide
the Rat is Metal. The characteristics
of a Rat year are in keeping with the
characteristics traditionally applied to
the rat itself. Rats are very tenacious,
determined and steadfast. They have
enormous staying power and are
constantly busy. Rats love to hoard
items, and are considered to be very
social creatures who love to travel in
packs and like to have fun.
The Metal element is connected to
yin energy and is expressed through
a feminine vibration. Metal element
energy is very strong, very forceful,
and very ambitious, and gives people
the desire to become leaders, and the
stamina to accomplish any goal to
which they set their minds. The Year
of the “Metal Rat” promises to be one
of potent power and energy, and thus a
great year to make your dreams come
true.
February: The month dedicated to
romance, hearts, and flowers, leads off
with a different slant to St. Valentine’s
Day. Venus, the planet of love, is
conjunct Chiron, the planetoid known
as the wounded healer, on the 10th in
Aries. This potent love aspect will be in
force from February 8 until February 12,
ending two days before St. Valentine’s
hits on the 14th.
Venus conjunct Chiron is an aspect
that will encourage you to deal with
your love issues, without flinching and
without excuses. Why do you keep
making the same relationship mistakes
over and over again? Discovering the
answer to that question will give you the
ability to make the right love choices,
the key to finding and keeping love.
Long-term couples should consider
what they can do to keep their life
together more exciting and romantic.
Mercury enters Pisces on February 3,
and then turns retrograde on February
16. This is of course a time to review,
renew, and revisit every aspect of our
lives, particularly where our lifestyle is
concerned. By the time Mercury turns
direct on March 9, we should have a
new and better game plan in mind.
March: Enjoy the relatively quiet
lull at the beginning of the month, since
the astrological action is quiet at first,
but picks up after the middle of the
month. The big event, and the one with
the most ramifications, is the entry of
Saturn into Aquarius on March 21. The
planet of longevity, duty, responsibility
and karma will stay in Aquarius until
March 7, 2023, and during this time
many changes will occur in our lives,
and in the world around us.
Mars, the dynamic planet, enters
Aquarius on March 30 and is conjunct
Saturn at 0 Aquarius until the 31st. This
aspect is one of extreme determination,
so if you are trying to kick a bad habit,
now is the time, as the Force will be
with you! Try not to dig in your heels
if things don’t seem to be going your
way, as the attitude of “my way or the
highway” won’t win you any friends,
and may cause you to make quite a few
enemies.
Straight to the Chase
April: On April 4, Jupiter, the planet
of largess, will be conjunct Pluto, the
planet that likes to go to extremes, at 24
Capricorn. This aspect will stay in play
until April 16, quite a bit of time for its
vibrations to be felt in the world and in
your life. Choosing the moderate path
will be very difficult, if not downright
impossible. By the way, during this time
be prudent when you go to the grocery
store, and resist the urge to stock up on
frozen dairy treats, especially if fudge
or caramel is involved! Calories will
seek you out!
Venus enters Gemini on April 3,
and, due to its coming retrograde on
May 13, stays four months in that sign
until August 7, giving the romance
planet a greater and more specific
impact on our lives than usual. For
some of us our love thoughts may be
less romantic and more practical, so
we could, for example, find ourselves
asking questions like, “Well it is a lot of
fun...but what do I really want from this
relationship?” Other people may cut
straight to the chase, deciding to steer
clear of any romantic commitments
for now, if only so they can be free to
play the field as they see fit. Still other
people may do exactly the opposite,
suddenly deciding to pledge everlasting
love to someone who just walked into
their lives. One more thing, though:
Venus will trine both Mars and Saturn
for the first few days of the aspect,
bringing a delightful sense of adventure
coupled with a desire to bond closely to
someone. You have been warned!
May: Venus, the planet of love and
money, turns retrograde on May 13 at
21 Gemini, and it will stay retrograde
for six weeks, turning direct on June
25 at 5 Gemini. This is a time to hold
off on making major changes to beauty
routines. Consider waiting until the
end of June, after Venus is direct,
before deciding to alter your hairstyle,
change makeup, or buy new clothes.
If you make a wardrobe change when
Venus is retrograde, you may later
JANUARY 2020 35
regret the decision. People who decide
to experiment with a different way of
dress during Venus retrograde, often
end up donating those clothing items to
a thrift store.
June: The North Node, an
astrological indicator of good fortune,
enters Gemini on May 5 for an
18-month visit, leaving it on January
18, 2022. The North Node in Gemini
will put an emphasis on all things
connected to that sign. People will
delight in exploring new horizons,
and may experience a desire to learn
a new language, study a new subject,
or move to a new part of their town or
neighborhood.
Two eclipses take place this month.
The first, a lunar eclipse, happens
on June 5, as a Full Moon in 15
Sagittarius. Since Sagittarius is a Fire
sign, this Full Moon eclipse promises
to stir up tempers, and bring aggressive
behavior out in all of us. The second,
a solar eclipse, on June 21, 2020,
coincides with the start of the Summer
Solstice. The New Moon will be at 0
Cancer, signaling the beginning of the
three-month summer season. Cancer
loves home and family, so people
may decide to visit relatives during
their vacations, or connect with family
members online.
Mercury turns retrograde for the
second time on June 17 at 14 Cancer.
It will turn direct on July 12 at 5
Cancer, so if you’re planning to travel
before the 12th, be sure to check your
boarding passes, and don’t lose sight of
your passport. Jupiter is conjunct Pluto
at 24 Capricorn starting on June 30, but
the aspect will be effective from the
middle of June through the middle of
36 Horoscope Guide
July. Try not to get too much sun, and
wear sunscreen and a large hat if you
decide to play by the shore, or sunbathe
outside in the backyard.
Lull in the Action
July: Saturn, in retrograde motion,
reenters Capricorn on July 1, after
dipping a toe in Aquarius, the sign
of the Water-Bearer. It will be back
in the sign of the mountain goat for
a brief period, and then fully return
to Aquarius on December 17. While
Saturn is back for a final tour of
Capricorn, his powers will be at their
height, since Saturn rules this sign.
You will have another chance to
revisit the issues that came up in your
life during the time Saturn was in
Capricorn. This planet governs wealth,
wisdom, and old age, and believes
in the virtues of common sense and
practicality. No more daydreaming
when Saturn is in this sign; instead, he
wants you to make concrete goals for
yourself, and stick to a settled plan.
A lunar eclipse takes place on July 4,
2020, at 13 Capricorn. This Full Moon
eclipse will emphasize the need to get
back to basics. Consider establishing a
routine in your life, one that will enable
you to get to work on time, and be in
bed at a reasonable hour. Sometimes
we need discipline in our lives, at least
temporarily!
August: Back in the day, before
people had home theaters with 50-inch
plasma screens, if you wanted a wide-
screen cinematic experience, you went
to the movies. If you happened to see a
film that went on for hours, there would
of course be an intermission. This
happened years ago when I went to see
the movie Gandhi on the big screen.
The intermission was a lull in the action
that gave everyone a chance to get up
from their seat, brush off the popcorn,
and stretch their legs. In similar fashion,
August of 2020 is our intermission
month. Be grateful for the downtime
as you rest, relax, and enjoy the lack of
heavy emotive vibrations. Swing in a
hammock, look at the clouds, weed the
garden, and read a good book. In a few
short weeks, the cosmos will wake up
again, and you will be off to the races,
astrologically speaking.
September: Mars, the warrior
planet, turns retrograde on September
9 at 28 Aries. Mars rules Aries, and is
extremely powerful when transiting his
sign. Traditionally, when Mars turns
retrograde at 15 Aries he loses some
of his energy, but that effect will be
mitigated since he is in his own sign.
However, until Mars turns direct on
November 13, you may discover that it
is hard to get your mojo working. If you
find that you don’t want to exercise,
call a friend and ask him or her to meet
you at the gym. Having a buddy to
work out with can restore your desire
to get fit.
Element of Surprise
October: On October 13, Mercury
turns retrograde for the third and last
time this year, this time at 11 degrees
of Scorpio, and it will stay in retro
motion until November 3, the day of
the presidential election, when it goes
direct at 25 Libra. Scorpio is a very
intense sign, filled with passion and a
zeal to uncover the truth in every aspect
of life. It may be hard to keep secrets
during this retrograde phase, so keep
all confidential paperwork under lock
and key.
November: The presidential election
will take place on Tuesday, November
3, 2020. The Moon will be in Gemini
all day and all night, giving the election
an element of surprise. Gemini is a
very changeable sign, so the results
may swing back and forth constantly
as the votes are tabulated. Mercury will
be retrograde during this election, so a
recount could be ordered, and the final
tally not known for several weeks, or
even months.
There will be a lunar eclipse on
November 30, in Gemini at 8 degrees.
This Full Moon will impart a very
vibrant energy to the world. People
will be in very chatty moods, and you
may discover that you are accosted by a
neighbor who wants to fill you in on all
the juicy details of the latest scandal to
hit the block.
December: The last of the six
eclipses takes place on December 14.
This solar eclipse at 23 Sagittarius
will give us a strong urge to spread a
little charity to those in need, so you
may find yourself wanting to spend to
help others. Saturn reenters the sign of
Aquarius on December 17, followed by
the December 19 entry of Jupiter into
Aquarius for a year-long stay, until
December 28, 2021. A new generosity
of spirit will overflow in people, and
a renewed desire to be tolerant of the
choices of others will be the order of
the day. Jupiter and Saturn end the
year with a fortuitous conjunction in
Aquarius on December 21. Changes
are on the way, and some of them will
be important to each of us, and to the
world as well. Stay tuned! P

 The Three Loves of
Queen Victoria
A story of affection, jealousy,
and mystery
by Jule Winham

38 Horoscope Guide
 In the history of the United Kingdom,
the Victorian era was the period of Queen
Victoria’s reign, from 20 June 1837 until
her death on 22 January 1901…In terms of
moral sensibilities and political reforms,
this period began with the passage of
the Reform Act 1832. There was a strong
religious drive for higher moral standards
led by the nonconformist churches, such as
the Methodists, and the Evangelical wing
of the established Church of England…
Wikipedia entry for “Victorian Era”
L
ong after her death Queen Victoria
has undergone an image makeover.
The legendary Queen’s reign lasted
from 1837 until 1901, and in portrayals
of her in popular media such as film,
television, and books, the Queen has often
been portrayed as a dowdy, humorless,
woman. Victoria’s famous (and possibly
apocryphal) phrase, “we are not amused,”
and the unsmiling face that we see in
official portraits, are often taken as
symbols for all that was wrong with the
stiff, starched era that bears her name,
and she herself is depicted as essentially
lacking in deep emotions or passions,
something underlined by her lifelong
attachment to her deceased husband,
Albert.
Brush the cobwebs off that antiquated
image and open your mind to a new
view of the Queen, who ruled throughout
most of the 19th century. Thanks to
media interest in her life in recent years,
Victoria’s image, from her lifestyle to
her personality to her love life, has been
revised. As dramatizations, even the best
of such shows is not likely to contain the
whole truth as a historian might judge
it. However, an update was certainly in
order, so now we can take a fresh look
at the Queen, along with the three loves
of her life.
In recent years, there have been several
productions in film or on television about
Victoria that dealt with her private life,
and each one has offered a new look at
the Queen, as well as at the era in which
she reigned. The most recent and detailed
of these is the series Victoria, whose three
seasons (with more possibly to come) aired
on PBS (Public Broadcasting System) in
its Masterpiece anthology, which so far
has focused on the marriage of Victoria
and Albert. The Young Victoria, a movie
produced in 2009, also dealt with their
relationship. However, two other movies
have chronicled close relationships with
men that occurred after Albert’s tragic
death at age 42: Mrs. Brown, made in
1997, and Victoria and Abdul, made in
2017.
These films were based on fact, not
fantasy, so it is noteworthy that Victoria,
The Young Victoria, Mrs. Brown, and
Victoria and Abdul, all portray Queen
Victoria as a very passionate and intelligent
woman, someone fully aware of herself,
her desires, and her role as Queen of the
British Empire.
Three Loves
Let’s look at the three loves of Queen
Victoria, one by one. Her first love was of
course Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha, her husband for over twenty years.
Marriage was important to Victoria, as it
was to any woman in her era, but she was
not interested in just a ceremonial match.
The future Queen of England wanted
to be wed to someone she truly loved,
and desired, and despite some initial
misgivings about him, she found that
person in Prince Albert.
JANUARY 2020 39
 Queen Victoria, named after her
mother, was born on May 24, 1819, at 4:15
a.m. local mean time in London, England.
She had her Sun, Ascendant, and Moon
all within a few degrees of each other in
Gemini, a Mutable Air sign. The Mutable
quality has a very fluid energy. People
born with a Mutable sign in any of these
three key chart locations tend to change
their minds frequently, in part because
they value variety in life. In other words,
change is a constant for people with a
strong Mutable emphasis...pun intended.
The combination of qualities found in
Gemini, with the Mutable providing the
love of variety, and the Air contributing
the ability to put their minds to good use,
means they are good at sizing up the most
complex of situations. Their heads rule
their hearts, so they are able to analyze
their emotions very easily, and despite
their natural friendliness, they have a
certain amount of detachment in the way
they relate to others. Despite this, they
love to socialize, and can easily strike up
a conversation with anyone they meet.
When it comes to love, they can be very
40 Horoscope Guide
fickle when entering a new relationship,
but once settled into it they are perfectly
content to stay for the long term, including
marriage.
The two planets most associated
with love and sex are Venus and Mars,
of course, with the first governing our
love nature and the second in charge of
our sex drive, so it is interesting that in
Victoria’s chart these two are in Aries.
With Venus and Mars here, the need to
find love and to have a fulfilling sexual
relationship was a primary motivating
factor in Victoria’s life. Everything else,
including motherhood, and her role as
ruling monarch, seemed to take second
place. Lacking dependable birth control
in that era, the Queen had nine children
with Albert, and was said to openly resent
the fact that each year or so she became
pregnant. Victoria, in contrast to the strict
moral tone of her era, was honest about her
enjoyment of intimacy with her husband.
Victoria’s first love and her only
husband, Prince Albert, was born just three
months after her, on August 26, 1819,
in Coburg, Germany, at 6:00 a.m. local

mean time. Albert’s Mars at 23 Gemini
is sextile Victoria’s Venus at 26 Aries. A
positive aspect between these two planets
is an indication of sexual compatibility in
a synastry reading, a comparison of birth
charts in order to judge how two people
will interact with each other. His Venus at
20 Leo is trine Victoria’s Mars at 17 Aries,
giving him the ability to give a very warm
and protective love to his wife. Albert’s
Mars in Gemini made him open-minded
where sex was concerned, and he would
not have hesitated to have a healthy sexual
relationship with Victoria.
The couple tied the knot on February
10, 1840, at 1:00 p.m. at St. James
Palace in London. Looking at a marriage
chart gives us a good indication of the
energy surrounding the marriage. Points
of contention can be shown, as well as
points of peace and happiness. In this
case, all the indicators point to a union
of lasting happiness. The Ascendant for
the marriage chart is at 6 Cancer, the sign
most associated with domesticity. The
Ascendant ruler, the Moon, is found in
Taurus in the 11th house. This is a very

affectionate sensual sign, so it is a very
favorable placement for the Moon in a
marriage chart, especially when it is also
the ruler of the Ascendant.
The marriage of Victoria and Albert
was one of deep mutual love, and sexual
passion was a part of that love. Victoria
wrote shortly after her marriage of how
much she enjoyed her wedding night,
and added the intimate details of Albert
helping her put on her stockings and her
watching him shave. She enjoyed the
activities that any newly married couple
would experience, and was very happy in
her status as a new bride.
Jupiter is in the 5th house, which deals
with children, love affairs, and creativity,
so they produced nine children, all of
whom survived into adulthood. Venus
is in Capricorn in the 7th house in this
chart, a sign associated with longevity, and
lasting commitments. The 7th house itself
is the house of long-term relationships,
and Venus is of course the planet of love.
Truly this couple loved each other,
and they had a very happy marriage, until
Albert died on December 14, 1861, a very
JANUARY 2020 41
dark day for Victoria. He had suffered
from stomach problems for several years,
and though there is speculation about
what might have produced them, his
cause of death was officially diagnosed
by the Queen’s physician as typhoid
fever. After Albert died, not only was
Victoria plunged into mourning, but
she wore black for the rest of her life.
She had relied on him for his affection,
counsel, and support throughout their
marriage, and she became reclusive after
his death.
Despite her abiding love for Albert,
a time came when she was energized
by the companionship of a second man,
her long-time Scottish manservant,
John Brown. Victoria needed a lot of
emotional solace after Albert died,
and increasingly turned to Brown for
companionship, perhaps for advice, and,
so it was rumored at the time, for
intimacy. He was from the Highlands,
and had originally worked for Victoria
and Albert at Balmoral Castle, their
hideaway home in Scotland. He was born
on December 8, 1826, in Aberdeenshire,
Scotland, time unknown, and his Sun at
15 Sagittarius is conjunct the Queen’s
Uranus. Brown stayed by her side
until his death at the age of 56, on
March 27, 1883, in Windsor Castle. The
Queen wrote in her diary of how shaken
she was at his death from a bacterial
infection, and how much she missed
the companionship of her dear friend. If
anything, this seemed somehow worse
than Albert’s death.
During the years they were together,
John actually started sleeping in the
bedroom next to the Queen’s bed
chamber, fueling rumors that the pair
were secretly married. Victoria’s
42 Horoscope Guide
daughters laughed among themselves
that John was “mama’s lover,” the news
media became aware of the situation
and began to call Queen Victoria Mrs.
Brown. A fictionalized version of the
romance was spotlighted in the 1997
film Mrs. Brown, starring Judi Dench
as Victoria and Billy Connolly as
John Brown. Dench received an Oscar
nomination for Best Actress for her
role, and said the film kicked off her
Hollywood movie career.
We can only guess at the details of the
relationship between the two, as Queen
Victoria’s diaries have been opened
more to scholars than to the public at
large, and Brown’s diary was destroyed
by palace insiders at his death. However,
we can probably say safely that what she
had with John Brown was closer to her
relationship with Albert than to her third
“love,” Abdul Karim, the story of which
was depicted in the 2017 movie Victoria
and Abdul. Judi Dench again took on the
role of Queen Victoria.
The film details the relationship of
Victoria and Karim, who began his
time with her as a household servant.
At some point, he complained to her
that the menial work he was expected
to do was beneath his education and
talents, and thus she gave him the
title of “Munshi,” a term of respect
meaning clerk or teacher. Victoria first
saw Abdul on June 23, 1887, when he
served her breakfast. She reportedly
said that she was taken by “his fine
countenance” and thought he was very
handsome. We know only a probable
birth year for Karim, but if we take
a look at the day of their meeting we
see Venus at 16 Leo, trine the Queen’s
natal Mars, a transient energizing
aspect that can spur an attraction, but
not necessarily a sexual one.
The Queen was so taken with her
Munshi that she requested that he stay
on as her personal servant and teach her
Hindustani. The relationship lasted for
over 13 years, and Victoria’s family felt
that as time went on, Karim was taking
advantage of the Queen, who was 68
when they met, and 81 when she died.
There is little doubt that the relationship
was Platonic, if for no other reason than
the Queen’s age at their meeting, but over
time the close relationship and Karim’s
slow acquisition of various benefits that
included money and land made him an
object of envy. She was very intolerant
of such ill feelings, and in fact considered
them largely racial, due to the close
partnership of a dark-skinned foreigner
with a white woman. Of course, his
influence died with the Queen, at which
time he and his relations were ordered
to turn over all correspondence, photos,
and the like, involving the Queen, which
he did. Unknown to his tormentors,
however, he kept his diary, which
includes photographs and magazine clips,
and it was kept under wraps by his family
until it was released in 2010, setting the
record straight from his side.
When Victoria died on January 22,
1901, at 6:30 p.m. GMT, she was 81
years old, having ruled the British
Empire since she was 18. She had left
instructions with her personal physician
that she wanted to be placed in her coffin
along with specific items, including a
plaster cast of the hand of Prince Albert,
and various other cherished personal
possessions of his that she had saved.
But in that list she also included a lock of
Brown’s hair, his photograph, and some
letters from him. Beneath Victoria’s
staid exterior beat a very passionate
and affectionate heart, one that deeply
needed and appreciated the love and
companionship she had received over
the many years of her reign. Though
she wore her wedding ring, on the third
finger of her right hand was a ring given
to her by John Brown, and that had
belonged to his mother.
Long live the Queen!
***
An Astrological PS: It is interesting to
note that the life of Queen Victoria has
been presented in recent years by actors
and actresses born in the mid-1980s,
and thus have Uranus in Sagittarius.
What goes around comes around, as
Victoria’s Uranus in Sagittarius seems to
be the trigger for the latest round of media
attention she has received.

Victoria’s friendship with John Brown can

Points to Affair with Brown,” as well as
a New York Times article dated August
31, 2014: “A Queen’s Forbidden Love,”
which notes some specific gossip about the
Victoria-Brown relationship, but also lists
all the items placed in Victoria’s coffin.

with Abdul Karim can be found in “The

ou increase your chances for
success when you time your actions
according to the positions of the
planets. For example, the area of your life
associated with Capricorn in your birth-chart
is in the spotlight now, as five planets visit
that sign this month. The Sun and Mercury
spend approximately the first half of January
together in Capricorn, while Jupiter, Saturn,
and Pluto are in this sign all month, and
beyond. This is an excellent time to review
your recent decisions and activities, and then
decide what your next move should be.
Mars represents action, energy, and desire.
As it moves through your chart, it prods you
to take the initiative, to attack problems, and
to turn desires into actions. From January
3 to February 16, Mars is in Sagittarius, a
Fire sign that craves excitement, and is often
associated with behavior that is reckless or
risky.
This year’s first eclipse, a lunar eclipse,
occurs on January 10 in Cancer at 20
degrees. Because this is a lunar eclipse, you
will probably experience its effects on an
emotional level. This trend can last up to
six months, even longer if the eclipse occurs
on a degree occupied by one of your natal
planets or chart points.
To learn more about what the planets’
movements may mean for you, read the
forecast for your Sun sign. If you know your
rising sign, read that section also, to obtain a
more complete forecast.

by Pat Strickland
ARIES SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
On January 3, Mars, your planetary
ruler, enters Sagittarius where it remains
until mid-February. During this time, you
may be active physically, intellectually,
emotionally, or professionally. You
want to be in control of any endeavor or
relationship in which you are involved.
Be wary if you get an urge to take any
unnecessary risks; such behavior can
result in accidents or other types of
trouble.
Your solar 10th house is the scene of
important action, as the Sun, Mercury,
Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all moving
through that sector. This house represents
your ambitions, achievements, and life
outside the family. Conflicts can arise
if you have business obligations that
are at odds with duties you have that
are associated with being a member of
a family. Strive to spend as much time
taking care of career or business needs
as you spend seeing to your family
obligations.
Power days: 1, 5, 11, 14, 19, 25.
Eclipse bulletin: Make sure that
honor and truth guide all your actions.
Be true to yourself, and you won’t go
wrong.
TAURUS SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
On January 1, Venus, your ruling
planet, is in Aquarius, your solar 10th
JANUARY 2020 51
house. This can be helpful for careers and
business. You may even be attracted to
people who are powerful or in leadership
positions. Your beliefs and education are
sure to be important, as the Sun and
Mercury spend time in your solar 9th
house; Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are
in this house all month, and beyond.
This is an excellent time to review your
priorities, and if necessary, change them.
From January 3 to February 16,
Mars is in your solar 8th house, calling
attention to shared possessions, family
finances, or your intimate life. If you
and your partner have priorities that
are very different from each other’s,
problems can arise. Try to achieve a
balance in all areas of your life.
Power days: 6, 8, 14, 17, 18, 22, 28.
Eclipse bulletin: The lunar eclipse
in Cancer on January 10 emphasizes
your thoughts and location. During the
following six months, you may get a
new neighbor, or the area where you live
in may change in some way.
GEMINI SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
Mercury, your planetary ruler, spends
the first half of the month in Capricorn,
where the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto
also reside. These three latter planets are
in this sign all month, and beyond. Your
intimate needs and your willingness to
share possessions may have an increased
importance during this time. Meanwhile,
Mars in Sagittarius from January 3 to
February 16 indicates activity in your
close relationships. Conflicts can arise
if your needs are very different from the
needs of people who are close to you.
Your fears and self-limitations could
lower your self-confidence and cause
52 Horoscope Guide
other problems, now that Uranus is
in your solar 12th house. If grief over
lost loved ones, or any feelings of guilt
trouble you, replace them with happy
thoughts and memories of pleasant
experiences. Say a prayer and do some
slow, deep breathing. Moderate exercise
can be helpful, so get up and move.
Take a walk, even if only inside your
home.
Power days: 1, 5, 8, 15, 19, 22, 30.
Eclipse bulletin: Let go of any
possessions and human connections that
no longer serve you in a positive way.
CANCER SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
Your celestial ruler, the Moon, keeps
you emotionally busy. The January 10
lunar eclipse in Cancer is particularly
significant for you, as it may bring a
personal need or problem to the forefront.
Feelings are likely to be involved. You
may experience a shift in your outlook
during the following six months or so.
You may change your hair color or style,
or switch to a different type of clothing.
On a different level, you may decide to
completely change the way you approach
new people or experiences.
With Mars in Sagittarius from January
3 to February 16, you may have a heavy
workload or other tedious obligations.
You need to protect your health. Avoid
people who have colds, viruses, or other
contagious diseases.
With several planets visiting Capricorn
and your solar 7th house now, your close
relationships are especially important.
You may enter or end relationships
within months. If someone you care
about leaves, think of the relationship as
having served a purpose, then move on.
 Power days: 1, 5, 8, 15, 19, 22, 30.
Eclipse bulletin: Be open to making
changes within your relationships. Never
allow anyone to abuse, demean or take
advantage of you.
LEO SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
When January opens, your celestial
ruler, the life-sustaining Sun, is in
Capricorn, where Mercury, Jupiter,
Saturn and Pluto also reside. This can
be a good time for you, if you focus on
improving your health and your work
habits. You may experience changes
at the workplace, or your job may be
eliminated. Keep in mind that your
physical and mental condition affects
your ability to work and to help other
people. A pet animal may have a special
importance during this multi-planet
transit.
If you feel an urge to take risks while
Mars visits Sagittarius from January 3
to February 16, be very careful! Avoid
dangerous behavior such as gambling,
reckless driving, drug use, drinking
alcoholic beverages, or unsafe sex. Such
activities have consequences.
Power days: 5, 6, 14, 15, 19, 22, 30.
Eclipse bulletin: People think of you
as a role model. Keep this in mind if
you are tempted to do anything illegal
or shameful. Behave like a leader in
your family, community, profession, and
social circle.
VIRGO SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
The Sun and a number of planets
spend time in Capricorn this month;
some remain much longer. This heavy
emphasis spotlights the sector of your
chart associated with recreation, risk,
and flirtatious romance. Steady behavior
is more important than usual at this time.
With Mars in your solar 4th house
from January 3 to February 16,
important things will take place at
your home. You may be active there
seeing to the needs of a family or
visitor, doing work brought from the
office, or trying to resolve personal
problems. Accidents, arguments, and
misunderstandings can occur. Be sure
to lock all outside doors and windows,
as break-ins can happen.
On January 16, Mercury, your ruling
planet, enters Aquarius, where this
planet will be until February 3. During
this time, you may do mental work or
think about your job, health, pets, or
obligations.
Power days: 1, 5, 8, 15, 19, 22, 30.
Eclipse bulletin: Set new, more
specific goals and deadlines. Stay
focused as you work to attain them.
LIBRA SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
Venus, your governing planet, spends
the first 13 days in your solar 5th house,
your pleasure zone. You just want to
relax and be yourself. This is a great
time to express your feelings through
love, hobbies, games, creative work, or
entertaining.
An extremely rare triple transit is
occurring now, as Jupiter, Saturn and
Pluto are in Capricorn. You can use
this energy to organize your domestic
arrangements to suit your needs and
desires. Let the people you live with
know exactly what you want at home.
Don’t be shy. Speak up!
Daily life becomes busier while
Mars visits Sagittarius from January 3
JANUARY 2020 53
to February 16. You learn new things
and meet new people. You are eager to
make your point in conversations and
documents. Don’t be rude, arrogant or
pushy. That also applies to when you
are behind the wheel. Be careful when
walking.
Power days: 6, 8, 14, 17, 18, 22, 28.
Eclipse bulletin: Unexpected events
can lead to amazing opportunities. Be alert
and stay open-minded.
SCORPIO SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
While your co-ruler Mars visits
your money zone from January 3 to
February 16, your spending habits have
an increased importance. You may have
big bills or unexpected expenses, but
you can still use your income and other
resources wisely. If you need extra cash
or emotional support and look for it now,
you may get lucky.
Your thoughts, attitudes, and com–
munication style are in the spotlight
now, as Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all
in Capricorn and your solar 3rd house.
If you want to improve your life, the
first thing to do is to forgive yourself for
errors in judgment, then improve your
attitude. If you have been affected by
sibling rivalries or other conflicts with
your relatives, compromises may help
resolve the problem. Be cordial, but don’t
be a doormat.
Be good to your body every day. Have
a massage, backrub, manicure, pedicure
or herbal bath. Love your body as it is.
Power days: 1, 5, 6, 11, 14, 28, 30.
Eclipse bulletin: Find out all you can
about your family heritage. As the years
go by and loved ones pass away, you’ll
be glad you did,.
54 Horoscope Guide
SAGITTARIUS SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
The first six weeks of this year are
busy for you. Mars is in Sagittarius from
January 3 to February 16. Enjoy the rush
of energy, but don’t push yourself too
hard, especially during the first week
or so of this transit. When Mars is in
your sign, though you may be active
physically, mentally, or emotionally, you
also need to take the time to relax.
Jupiter, your planetary ruler, is slowly
advancing in Capricorn, where Saturn
and Pluto also reside. With all these
planets visiting your solar 2nd house,
your finances or ethical values are sure to
receive attention. If your birth chart hints
that you are really lucky, you may receive
a financial windfall this year. Don’t
count on it! Check out every financial
deal before you become involved with
it. Any excess or extravagance has the
possibility of leading to trouble.
Power days: 5, 8, 14, 18, 19, 22, 23,
28.
Eclipse bulletin: Give serious thought
to your financial security. Cultivate a
prudent attitude toward spending. When
the inevitable financial need arises,
you’ll be prepared.
CAPRICORN SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
When January opens, the Sun is in
your sign, and you can shine! It’s only
natural if you think and speak mainly of
yourself and things that can affect you,
as Mercury is in Capricorn until January
16. Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn, your ruling
planet, are in Capricorn . With all these
planets in your sign, you are sure to be
active and perhaps slightly self-centered.
This triple transit offers a real once-in-a-
lifetime opportunity. Grab it!
 While Mars is in your solar 12th
house, from January 3 to February 16,
you may be doing confidential research
or activities you prefer to do alone. Use
this time to rest, gather strength, and do
quiet work. Although you may be slightly
low in energy, you can finish jobs that
are almost completed, and then decide
what your next move should be. This is
an excellent time to get in touch with the
spiritual part of your personality, through
meditation, prayer, music, reading, or
yoga. Nurture your soul.
Power days: 6, 14, 15, 18, 22, 28, 30.
Eclipse bulletin: Protect your public
image. Think of yourself as a “brand,”
and always present yourself in only the
most positive way. By the way, having
good posture is important and impressive.
AQUARIUS SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
Your secrets and the most confidential
part of your life are emphasized, as
Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are in your
solar 12th house. The Sun is also there
for the first 20 days, as is Mercury for
the first half of January. While all these
bodies are in the same sign, you have
access to enormous energy you can use
in whatever way you desire. Be sure to
use this energy for positive activities.
This is an excellent time to nurture
your spirit through meditation, prayer,
music, reading, or yoga. If you can get
away for a day or two, you can go on a
brief spiritual retreat.
Your thoughts and communication
style are emphasized while Mars is
in Sagittarius. The pace of your daily
life may become faster, or you may be
in touch with more people than usual.
You are eager to get your message
across in conversations and documents.
That’s fine, as long as you aren’t smug,
sarcastic or pushy. The same advice
applies to when you drive any vehicle.
Power days: 5, 6, 13, 14, 15, 22, 25,
27.
Eclipse bulletin: After the lunar
eclipse on January 10, you may face a
job loss or changes in your duties. A
health need may arise for you or a pet.
PISCES SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
You can accomplish worthwhile
objectives while Mars visits your solar
10th house, from January 3 to February
16. You have enough time to successfully
complete at least one job that showcases
special or unique abilities you possess.
Show the world what you can do, working
on your own. Managers, judges, parents,
employers, and other authority figures
have an increased importance during this
time. Don’t initiate confrontations with
people who have power over you.
If you put your mind to it and make it
your number one priority, while Jupiter,
Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn, you
can attain at least one cherished goal.
(A client of mine bought a cabin in the
mountains, something she had always
wanted.) Make it clear to your associates
that you really intend to reach this goal.
Then do whatever is necessary (and
legal) to get what you want. Put your
desires first, ahead of other people’s, for
a change, at least for a while.
Power days: 1, 5, 6, 14, 15, 18, 23, 27.
Eclipse bulletin: To increase your
chances to succeed, become friends with
influential people who support your
efforts. They can enhance your image and
reputation. P

here is little question that the
direction you take this year
depends on the interplay of
the aspects and sign changes among
Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto, with the
other two outer planets either sitting
on the sidelines (Uranus) or making an
occasional contribution (Neptune) to
the ever-changing cosmic picture. All
of this revolves around settling what
seems to be the purpose underlying
Pluto’s long-term residence in your sign,
which has been to slowly awaken your
thoughts about where you are in life,
in your relationships, and in the world
outside of your private life. There is no
universal answer to what those thoughts
might awaken in each person of your
sign, so you have to work this out for
yourself during the time Pluto remains

by T. H. McMichael
in Capricorn, which it will leave in 2023.
This year is special because of Pluto
being visited by Jupiter and Saturn, a
powerful pair that when acting together
tends to clarify issues and focus us on
purpose and direction in life. It’s up to
you to ask the questions you feel you
need to ask in order to define your own
future, and this year just happens to be
a very good time to do it.

JANUARY 2020 57
the year can become advantages sooner
than you think, but action on your part
is required. Make a plan, get busy, and
move forward.
Born January 11-January 19: If
you have been wondering what the next
step along your life path should be,
October and November may bring the
answer. Keeping a positive outlook will
help you make the right move.
A Bright Path...
JUPITER is in your sign from the
beginning of January through the 19th
of December, giving you a head start
with a positive attitude and a viewpoint
that always looks to the way ahead,
and spends little time worrying about
what happened on the road behind.
Even if you are naturally somewhat
of a pessimist, this planet’s special
point of view can actually give you an
advantage this year, if you pit that frame
of mind against Jupiter’s tendency to be
unrealistic in its optimism. Jupiter and
Saturn are such opposites that some
astrologers see them coming together as
a kind of lose-lose proposition, but the
fact is that they actually bring out the
best in each other, allowing you to look
to the future in a realistic way, and thus
make your life better.
...to a Realistic Goal
SATURN is of course indicated by
the word “realistic” at the end of the
previous paragraph, just as Jupiter is
indicated by the word “unrealistic.”
The Jupiterian quality that gets so much
praise from astrologers is of course its
tendency to make us so sure that today
is better than was yesterday, and that
tomorrow will be even better. However,
58 Horoscope Guide
this kind of thinking can lead us to
measure our success in purely material
ways, hoping that we will convince
others that there is something special
about us: how we look, how we dress,
and what crowd we hang out with—
and often on both borrowed time and
borrowed money. Saturn left to its
own devices cares little for keeping up
appearances, and will instead focus on
the long term. What lasts and has value
is what matters most. Appearances do
count for something, though, so when
Jupiter and Saturn work together our
efforts to improve our lives for the
better produce solid results we can be
proud of.
Shortstop
URANUS is a bit like a shortstop,
not part of either the infield or the
outfield in a game where all the home
runs are going to right center. For those
not up on baseball terms, we just mean
that Uranus is up to nearly nothing this
year when it comes to the outer planets,
not even coming up with a single exact
aspect with any of them over the next
12 months. Though it is on the receiving
end of a nice trine from Jupiter that is
four degrees away and separating as the
year begins, after that it bides its time
in Taurus, and waits for future glory.
Perhaps next year?
Put Me in Coach!
NEPTUNE is more in the game
than Uranus this year, though it is
interesting that each of the three outer-
planet contacts it experiences is a
sextile from Jupiter; one on February
20, another on July 27, and a final
sextile on October 12.
 Job Well Done
PLUTO has been tending to business
in Capricorn since late January of 2008,
at a time when Jupiter in Capricorn was
completing a trine to Saturn in Virgo,
so it’s appropriate that toward the end
of its stay (though it still has three slow
years to go), Jupiter and Saturn show
up to do a dance with it right near the
end of that sign. The meaning of it is
essentially a message that Pluto’s work
is done, and it will soon be time to go.
With this serious trio interacting near
the end of your sign, you should ask a
serious question “Where do I want to be
in three years, and what do I need to do
to get there?”
Your Action Timetable
MARS begins this forecast period in
your solar 11th house, Scorpio, and ends
the period in your solar 4th house, Aries.
The dates when it moves into each sign
during the year ahead signal a shift in
focus for your interests and activities.
Right timing and right action are aided
by knowing where Mars is and where it’s
going in relation to your birth sign.
November 19-January 3 (2020):
An energetic planet like Mars in an
energetic house that has to do with
completing plans and working with
groups of like-minded individuals will
liven up your life considerably over the
next 45 days, so get ready to move and
keep on moving. Mars at its best here
is good for organizing and networking,
so you are likely to find yourself more
involved than usual in a social scene,
testing out your leadership skills. Don’t
overdo it, and always leave the back
door unlocked so you can make a fast
exit on January 3!
January 3-February 16: If you
didn’t leave yourself a quick exit, you
may find yourself regretting it now, as
Mars in your solar 12th is the lowest
point of your energy cycle. Though
you may not be sleeping in all the time,
you’re not likely to want to go out much
either, or to be in group scenes for all
that. Take a rest. You’ve earned it.
February 16-March 30: Okay—
time to wake up and get going! Your
energy returns, and you are ready to
pick up the pace in your life, which is
good. On the other hand, during the first
week or so of this period you may be
prone to overdo everything from work
to exercise, so try to stay cool and pace
yourself. This is a time to finish the old
work and start on the new.
March 30-May 12: Mars in the
house of your personal cash flow (the
2nd) is great if you are someone who
makes a living buying and selling,
but not so great if you are an average
worker or retiree. In the first case, your
trading instincts can be sharper than
usual now, and your ability to make a
deal better than ever. In the second case,
be careful, especially if your income
is either modest or just plain fixed. A
tendency to spend without thinking
could get you in trouble.
May 12-June 27: As the red planet
journeys through your solar 3rd, you’ll
find your mood and your mode much like
it was during the November to January
period above—lots of interaction with
groups, as one example. However, in
that earlier period you would have been
interested in partnering with others,
while here you are more of a lone wolf,
promoting your talents and your skills.
June 27-September 9 (direct): Your
JANUARY 2020 59
solar 4th has much to do with home
and family, so sit down and relax as
you’ll be devoting more time to both
until the 6th of January next year. If
you happen to be in real estate or home
repair, this could be a great time for
your business. If not, you still may
find yourself thinking seriously about
making changes around the house.
Wait on that for now, though.
September 9-November 13 (retro–
grade): Mars is now retrograde in your
home sector, and that’s the reason
for the advice to wait. This is a great
time to plan a home project, but it is
not such a great time to try to do one.
Contractors disappear, shipments don’t
show up, and so on. So sit down and
make a plan.
November 13-January 6, 2021 (direct):
Now it is time to get down to serious
business regarding anything you want
to do around the house. Take care,
though, and don’t take on any of the
tough projects on your own. Accidents
are more likely now, so be the foreman
and not the worker bee.
When MERCURY is retrograde
in motion, messages and other com–
munications can be delayed, and travel
plans often need to be altered on short
notice, causing no end of frustration.
It’s all right to make such plans during
Mercury retrograde, but you should
be cautious about carrying them out
until the planet of communication
moves direct, and then only after you
confirm and reconfirm everything.
During this forecast period, dates for
Mercury retrograde are: February
16-March 9, June 17-July 12, October
13-November 3.
VENUS can make you confident
60 Horoscope Guide
about your appearance and attractive–
ness in any social or romantic situation
when it is in a trine, sextile, or
conjunction aspect to your sign. Dates
for these aspects during this cycle
are: January 13-February 7, March
4-April 3, October 2-October 27,
November 21-December 15.
Month by Month
January—With Mars in your solar
12th from the 3rd onward, slow down
and take some time to relax. Divide
your time into two main activities,
the first of which is to go over your
finances (the simple ones that have to
do with paying checks and bills, and
not the complicated stuff like taxes or
investments). Just make sure everything
is fine, and then look for something fun
to do.
February—Though you may have
the gift of gab at the beginning of the
month, don’t depend on it too heavily,
as Mercury retrograde on the 16th
may slow you down in the talking
department. That doesn’t mean you
should be completely silent. If you
have an important message to deliver
or idea to convey, write it down, have
a spouse or friend proof it for you, and
then hold onto it until...well, we’ll tell
you when.
March—As Mercury retrograde has
drifted back into your personal finance
house, take some time to check out
your work in this area from back in
January. And speaking of looking back,
take out that piece you wrote last month
and put it in circulation. Your ideas can
inspire others, and put you out front on
an issue that is important to you.
April—This is a month for planning
personal projects and for discussing
issues relating to a place where you
work (paid or volunteer) with others.
This may not be terribly exciting, but
it does need to be done from time to
time. Toward the end of the month
if you begin to feel creative, indulge
yourself.
May—This is a somewhat slow
time as well, as you may find yourself
wanting to change decisions you have
made in the last couple of months,
especially those that involve the
workplace or partnerships. If you feel
lucky, think again, as Jupiter goes
retrograde in your sign on the 14th.
Buy a lottery ticket for fun, maybe, but
remember that it’s entertainment, not
an investment.
June—Partnership discussions you
may have started last month could slow
to a stop if they’re still going on now.
If this happens around the middle of the
month don’t fight the trend, as Mercury
goes retrograde on the 17th. Pick this
up later.
July—Saturn, which went retrograde
in May, moves back into your sign now,
something that may tend to make you
overly cautious at a time when you
need to be in forward motion at all
times. Don’t be surprised if a partner,
spouse, or good friend jolts you out of
your slow-motion ways and gets you
moving, and don’t forget to say thanks.
August—If someone did indeed get
you moving last month, this may be a
good time to bring up things with that
person you’ve been meaning to discuss.
If it involves income or expenses you
share in one way or another, you’ll find
that the two of you are on the same
page for the most part. Go ahead and
talk it out and make some decisions.
September—Some balance is
restored to your life when both Jupiter
(12th) and Saturn (29th) go direct in
your sign. These two working together
for you are very good for planning
and starting long-term projects of a
serious nature. A job change, maybe,
but something meant to better your life
over the long term, for sure. Get busy.
October—You may have been quite
busy last month, so with Venus in your
solar 9th on October 2nd, consider
a vacation now. This is one you need
to plan ahead, but the most important
thing to consider is when to end it, as
Mercury will go retrograde on the 13th,
and you want to be home by the time
that happens. When you get there, start
thinking about a move up in your social
status or your career.
November—Been thinking about
that last sentence in the previous
month? Good, as from the 3rd to the
13th in particular you’ll be in a good
position to make some moves to
improve your life. You could have a
nice talk with your boss, or do some
public relations work through either
local or social media, and will find
people very receptive to you and what
you have to say.
December—Take a little time off
from self-promotion until the 19th,
by which time Saturn and Jupiter
will both be in your personal finance
house. Remember what we said back in
September about long-term projects of
a serious nature? If you have actually
started implementing them by now,
move them forward more quickly; if
not, then get started and keep at it. The
future awaits! P

T
his month. I want to talk about
Mars, who enters blunt old Sag-
ittarius on January 3 and remains
there until February 16. Considering that
Mars in Sagittarius has the whole sky to
shoot at and/or attack, I’ve had a hard
time deciding which outer planet deserves
our attention this month. After much con-
sulting with oracles and my neighborhood
soothsayer, I finally decided to deal with
transiting Mars’ aspects to natal Pluto.
And in honor of the famous bluntness of
Mars in Sagittarius: that, as they say, is
that.
Let’s start by looking more deeply at
Sagittarius. As we know, it is the Mutable
sign in the fire triplicity, and mutability
has often seemed to me a characteris-
tic of fire – as does expansion. We can
sometimes control fire and make it seem
non-Mutable, but anyone who has fol-
lowed the attempts to fight the increasing-
ly-large fires that have raged throughout
the country in the past several years has
surely noted that those fires can change
course and magnitude very quickly. They
move as the wind dictates, and people who
think they can predict where a large fire
will go often regret it later (assuming they
survive).
Humans have to some extent learned
to control fire, and eons ago our ancestors
learned how to create it from friction. But
62 Horoscope Guide
A Cosmic
Perspective on Your
Personal Transits
For January 2020
by Tim Lyons
when humans have used it domestically,
they have done so carefully, building ves-
sels to contain it. People have long sensed
that fire has mutability within it, and that
the combination of fire plus mutability
can wreak great destruction if you don’t
take care. Yet we don’t see Sagittarius as
a destructive sign. Why?
Consider the Horse
Every sign has destructive capacities,
of course, and though we can see pretty
easily the problematic side of constantly
shifting fire, we should also note that
the same symbolism – a constant and
far-seeing inspiration – seems essential to
any healthy social structure. We must, of
course, try to domesticate that fire as much
as possible if we wish to make use of it,
but in doing so, we must take care not to
exert so much control as to dampen the
fire itself. It seems to me that individuals
strong in Sagittarian energy, particularly
when it connects to vocational markers,
may experience frustration when asked,
as so often occurs in the modern world, to
tie their inspiration to routine or repetitive
tasks.
Consider the horse, part of Sagittari-
us’ symbolism. It has a raw and chang-
ing energy; wild horses roam. However,
humans found out long ago that they
could domesticate the horse and a number
of other large mammals. According to
historian Jared Diamond, this domestica-
tion of large mammals played an integral
role in the development of civilization, as
those areas of the globe that lacked large,
domesticable animals – the Americas
standing as a prominent example – devel-
oped differently from those that had them.
Thus some civilizations developed “guns,
germs, and steel” while others did not, and
the former conquered those who lacked
them, with the guns and steel appearing
through weapons and the germs infiltrat-
ing into native societies to decimate the
population. I am simplifying his theory,
but details can be found in Mr. Diamond’s
book titled (what else?) Guns, Germs, and
Steel.
As to horses in particular, humans long
ago found out that they could ride them,
and a man on a horse in most cases has an
immense military advantage over a man
on foot (in most terrains, at any rate), and
the horse also increases one’s capacity in
transportation, in hauling objects, in hunt-
ing, and in farming. It came to seem, at
least to the riders, that humans belonged
on horses. My point here is simply that the
horse – the raw energy within Sagittarius
– increased the human capacity in many
ways related to social development and
expansion – and this increased capacity
seems central to the meaning of Sagittari-
us. Thus Sagittarius thrives in arenas relat-
ed to change, development, and learning,
but may struggle with stasis.
The centaur symbol gives us a horse
with a unique kind of rider, for rider and
horse in this case are one being. This
symbolizes increased social capacity and
motility. It seems that Sagittarius symbol-
izes a kind of wisdom and capacity essen-
tial to the development of organized soci-
The Mars-Pluto Challenge
The strongly Sagittarian among you
may prefer abstractions to fact; never-
theless, I present some things that seem
to qualify as factual: between January 3
and February 16, Mars moves through
Sagittarius. In doing so, he will make
challenging aspects for anyone with
Pluto in a Mutable sign.
Transiting Mars opposes natal Pluto
in Gemini for those born: 1883/4/5-
9/1912, 10/1912-7/1913, 1/1914-5/1914.
Note: Though only living centenarians
need apply here (if indeed, any actually
read this column), transits often bring
historical figures to the fore as well.
Transiting Mars squares natal Pluto
in Virgo for those born: 10/1956-
1/1957, 8/1957-4/1958, 6/1958-9/1971.
Transiting Mars conjoins natal Pluto
in Sagittarius for those born: 1/1995-
4/1995, 11/1995-present.
ety, for in society we organize and channel
the raw animal energy that seems an inher-
ent and essential part of us. Sagittarians
may find living in a society that rewards
specialization and narrowness difficult;
however, in a wisely-organized society,
one’s basic animal drives can find many
creative outlets. Thus, Sagittarius leads
to Capricorn, as the former emphasizes
the drive for principles without which
organized society (Capricorn’s specialty)
cannot arise.
Of course, Sagittarius has a tendency
to go for the abstractions and to leave the
particulars and the implementations to
others. He has a great love for the afore-
mentioned principles, for abstractions that
purportedly apply to all human beings –
even including social ideals that we could
JANUARY 2020 63
see as principles of behavior that apply
to all of us in all situations. Though the
principles in question may vary, I cannot
think of a human society that did not arise
both from and through them. Like other
Mutable signs, Sagittarius serves as a tran-
sition. On the one hand, this is due to the
constant motility and mobility of the sign,
and on the other hand it is due to the fact
that the principles will seem empty, even
foolish, until people apply them to their
lives in definite ways.
Direction and Aim
Speaking of which – that is, of people,
humans – in Sagittarius we have one of
the four zodiac signs with a human fig-
ure as part of the symbolism (Gemini,
Aquarius, and Virgo being the other three).
This suggests a close connection between
the potency of the sign and some quality
that distinguishes us from other creatures.
As far as we know, no other creature on
earth – and, almost certainly, no other land
mammal – has created, let alone lived by,
such notions as truth, justice, the American
way, perfidy, punctuality, and so forth.
Sagittarius’ symbol tells us much about the
conscious direction and aim of the animal
parts of our nature. That the archer has the
whole sky to shoot at reminds us of our vast
capacity and vision; that he must have an
aim and a purpose tells us that our capaci-
ties must, in the end, go in one direction or
follow a definite arc.
Mars in Sagittarius often acts with blunt-
ness because he feels that he acts on prin-
ciple. When operating positively, this can
bring great benefit, for Mars in Sagittarius
wants to bring the world into alignment
with principles and will act forcefully to
achieve that end. More problematically,
of course, Mars in Sagittarius can insist
64 Horoscope Guide
that others follow his principles and refuse
to recognize or legitimize any that differ
markedly from his own. Mars in Sagittarius
wants to act on a vision, and though visions
serve as abstractions, Mars here will work
to ground the abstraction through tangible
action; the horse element in Sagittarius
stays closely connected to earth while the
arrow element seeks specific targets from a
vast array of possibilities.
So we have a possibly fruitful combi-
nation of drive and initiative (Mars) com-
bined with vision and a sense of possibility
that draws its potency from a grounded
sense of practicality. In Sagittarius, Mars
can have a remarkably restless quality, a
sense of always wanting to “get on to the
next thing” as part of an ongoing quest
for meaning. This position can suggest a
constant dithering in the realm of ideas,
mistaking people for principles and having
difficulty living in the moment without the
application of abstraction. However, when
these difficulties arise, they do so from a
sense of potential and a capacity for vision
or wisdom that seems, as far as we can tell,
unique to humans on this planet.
Your Highest Principles
First of all, any Mars-Pluto interaction
has to do with the power of action. It also
has to do with the power that comes from
the unconscious. Obviously enough, the
problems that arise with this planetary
combination have to do with acting blindly
or obsessively, as psychological complexes
take over a person’s action. In such cases,
a person may act blindly, because driven
by unconscious factors. In addition, this
combination suggests two kinds of blind-
ness working together in unfortunate ways:
the first kind of blindness has to do with
ego’s tendency to see all situations purely
in terms of what ego wants, as a result of
which tendency a person will act as if with
blinders on; the second kind of blindness
has to do with the power of the unconscious
mind. In combination, we may witness ego
blindly driven to seek the most unfortunate
kinds of power.
Second of all, any Mars-Pluto interaction
has to do with the rate at which one does
work – and, as we will see, this tendency
can have a fruitful relation with Sagittarius
love of acting on principle. Mars represents
the energy principle, the centrifugal drive
through which creatures exert force on the
extensional world. Thus Mars has to do
with survival drives, and, as I have said in
previous columns, as we walk about on this
planet, we must exert centrifugal force con-
stantly to prevent ourselves from collapsing
from the force of the atmosphere. However,
when operating as a conscious force, Mars
tends to act in one direction, not in all direc-
tions at once, like our inner centrifuge seems
to do. Thus Mars has to do with focused
action, with getting what we want, when we
want it, using force to get our way.
And, of course, we generally think that
we know what we want. However, when
Mars makes a challenging aspect to Pluto,
we may not know. Why? Because Pluto has
such a powerful connection to the uncon-
scious mind and the complexes that seem to
rule the roost in that hidden domain. When
transiting Mars contacts natal Pluto, we may
find ourselves with very powerful urges, but
not know precisely where they come from.
Those urges may seem well-nigh irresist-
ible, for according to myth we cannot gain-
say or change the decrees of the Lord and
Lady of the Great Place Below. Thus when
visited by what seems a demand from Pluto,
we may feel that we can’t resist and thus we
may feel powerless.
This brings us to the paradox of Mars-Plu-
to. If we become identified with what we think
we want (Mars), we may lose the power to
control ourselves; however, if we recognize
that we must act to transform situations around
and within us, this transit can yield great power
and insight – and in equal measure. Only by
letting go of our desire for control can we deal
effectively with these transits, for once we give
up that desire, the unconscious messages may
appear more clearly even if they often appear
in messages from the extensional world.
The previous paragraph gives us some
insight into something we see in many peo-
ple with Mars-Pluto afflictions in the natal
horoscope: when they act for themselves,
they often find themselves disempowered;
when they act for the greater benefit, they
can bring about great change. Thus these
aspects may prove helpful in a crisis, for
crisis-laden situations often bring us out of
ourselves. At the same time, we should tread
carefully, as one of Pluto’s messages may
suggest that by doing such-and-such we can
bring about general benefit, though from
an objective point of view we can see that
the benefit would go only to ourselves. The
Underworld Ruler feels under no obligation
to act straightforwardly. Try to suss out
your inner motivation before you act. Take
care when acting on impulse, particularly if
that impulse drives you to take advantage
of others. Instead, seek others’ advantage.
Trust that by so doing, you will receive your
reward, for Pluto guards hidden treasures.
As for mutability, particularly the Sagit-
tarian variety: act on your highest principles
as you try to bring about change; seek to
raise consciousness and appeal to the intelli-
gence of others in all situations; choose your
targets carefully; work with others toward
goals all will see as important; yoke body
and mind together. P

JANUARY 2020 73
 ARIES March 21st to April 20th

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE

1st-8th: Innovative ideas. Embrace the arrival
of the new year with a plethora of innovative
work projects that are on the horizon, Aries.
When Mercury conjoins Jupiter in your solar 10th
on the 2nd, jump right into your professional and
volunteer activities. Colleagues will be more than
happy to listen to your ideas about how to move
in a new direction.
9th-16th: Staying busy. With a confluence of
five planets in your solar 10th you will have little
breathing room outside of work, yet you will love
every minute of it. Between organizing projects
at your day job and taking on a new role in a
group you belong to, you may hear rumblings
from your family that they have not seen much
of you lately. Do your best to balance your time.
17th-23rd: Social time. The Sun enters your
solar 11th on the 20th, so you may wind up
increasing your volunteer responsibilities. That
will prove to be fulfilling, but don’t forget to make
time for friends, especially those you have not
seen since before the holidays. Try to fit in going
out with colleagues after work hours for a meal
or drinks. Lots to do, so pace yourself.
24th-31st: Public speaking. The New Moon takes
its place in your solar 11th on the 24th, so you may
become even more enthusiastic about participating
in that group or organization whose meetings you
regularly attend. If you are passionate about its
purpose, you may be asked to take a leadership
position or to give talks meant to support its
activities and increase membership.

74 Horoscope Guide
 DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR ARIES
1st Wed.—A Ram is also a sheep, Aries, and sheep can be
docile. Your gentle side emerges in your interactions with over-
ly proud authority figures, but you’ll put bullies in their place.
2nd Thurs.—Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Capricorn, your
house of status and reputation (the 10th). Bosses issue
pronouncements that leave no room for misinterpretation;
pay heed.
3rd Fri.—Mars enters Sagittarius, your house of international
travel, higher education, foreign languages, in-laws, and advis-
ers (the 9th). Ethical issues loom large, as does globetrotting.
4th Sat.—An unexpected event arises that impacts your cash
flow for better or worse. Financial decisions demand that you
think on your feet; a heavy-hitting expense only hurts for a
minute.
5th Sun.—Yesterday’s money issues fade into the back-
ground as you find clever ways to deal with the deep cuts in
your budget. Higher-ups dispense practical advice; implement
it.
6th Mon.—Treating yourself to a gourmet meal, entertain-
ment event, or social outing can put you in the red, but a
little discipline and economizing will go a long way. Have fun
anyway.
7th Tues.—The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
giving you a chance to work independently behind the scenes.
Your productivity increases and impresses the top brass.
8th Wed.—Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
allowing you to use your imagination to correct a career-relat-
ed dilemma. Delegation and creativity win the day.
9th Thurs.—Additional expenses are on the horizon for home
upgrades, but conflictin opinions generate disagreements.
Opinions clash, but a compromise is reached if you work at it.
10th Fri.—The Full Moon in Cancer shines in the house of
home, real estate, and family roots (the 4th). The ties that bind
are strengthened, and financial security is part of the picture.
11th Sat.—Expenses related to living it up accrue swiftly and
raise alarm bells, but you’re having so much fun you’ll rational-
ize those payments you’ll make at a later date.
12th Sun.—Mercury conjoins Pluto in Capricorn, your house
of ambition and career pursuits (the 10th). A complicated task
at your job creates a conundrum; work on it.
13th Mon.—Venus enters Pisces, your house of solitude,
rehabilitation, charity, and hidden enemies (the 12th). Spying
is successful; indulgence exacts a heavy toll.
14th Tues.—A health-related issue generates confusion and
controversy, but once the details are clarified the microman-
agement begins. Professional consultations help you on your
quest.
15th Wed.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus,
providing you with assistance behind the curtain in a financial
matter. Cupid presents a love interest that would otherwise
go unnoticed.
16th Thurs.—Mercury enters Aquarius, your house of friend-
ship, community projects, teamwork, and aspirations (the
11th). Group dynamics flow; everyone’s on the same page.
17th Fri.—A minor financial problem requires adjustments
in your accounts receivable and payable. Credit card issues
sneak up from behind as fines and fees accrue.
18th Sat.—Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus,
bringing problems with connections and communications.
Gaps arise in getting your point across, producing irrational
comments.
19th Sun.—Educated opinions tossed about among col-
leagues enhance dialogue and boost camaraderie. Cross-
cultural perspectives open new avenues for enlightening
discussion.
20th Mon.—Long-distance travel plans are on the table for
discussion, but other people’s input can interfere. Obstacles
related to cost, destinations, and schedules appear.
21st Tues.—Ethical discussions surround you, but your
patience is short and you’ll want to move forward with your
own agenda. Educational issues need attention; tackle them
now.
22nd Wed.—An authority figure lightens up on rules and
regulations, but you’ll do what’s expected anyway. Observe all
the rules, and you’ll be on your way up.
23rd Thurs.—Venus in Pisces sextile Jupiter in Capricorn
gives you power behind the throne and puts you in the catbird
seat. You’ll take control in your rugged, individualistic way.
24th Fri.—The New Moon in Aquarius activates the house
of group dynamics, teams, clubs, friendships, and worthy
causes (the 11th). Shared interests bring strong and lasting
bonds.
25th Sat.—Shop talk with like-minded colleagues raises
new topics and rehashes old ones. Keep the common touch
when interacting with others; don’t let discussions become
too theoretical.
26th Sun.—Venus in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius,
bringing cross-cultural people into your social circle who
stimulate your interest in seeing more of the world. Cupid
flies overhead.
27th Mon.—Venus conjoins Neptune in Pisces, making you
an angel of mercy behind closed doors. Helping the disad-
vantaged highlights your willingness to venture where others
won’t go.
28th Tues.—Mars in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces,
making it difficult to categorize right and wrong and separate
fact from fiction. Travel plans go awry and ethics fall by the
wayside.
29th Wed.—Patience isn’t one of your strong points, and at
the moment it’s not in your vocabulary. Taking immediate
action on a particular matter leaves well-wishers in the dust.
30th Thurs.—A colleague is exaggerating a situation out of
proportion, but you’ll stay calm and get the facts. Reporting
them to all and sundry informs, clarifies, and enlightens.
31st Fri.—Higher-ups place hurdles in your path, but you’ll
surmount them all and still keep moving forward. Comparing
notes with a pal shows alternate routes and solutions to
problems.
JANUARY 2020 75
 TAURUS April 21st to May 20th

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE

1st-8th: Set your sights. With Mercury, Jupiter,
Sun, Saturn, and Pluto converging in your solar
9th, the time is right to expand your knowledge
and improve your skills, Taurus. Consider
options such as a higher degree, vocational
certificate, or training program. An opportunity
that once seemed out of reach may await you:
set your sights on it and move forward.
9th-16th: Eyes on the prize. The Full Moon
(lunar eclipse) shines in your solar 3rd on the
10th, followed by Uranus stationing direct in
your sign that same day. You are more than
ready to start a new educational journey, which
may mean more travel between home and work
and school. While it may not be easy, keep your
goals in mind, and your eyes on the prize.
17th-23rd: One step at a time. When Mercury in
your solar 10th forms a square to Uranus in your
sign on the 18th, you may have a bit of difficulty
staying focused. You have so many original ideas
but not enough time to complete them all. Put one
foot in front of the other, and finish one project at
a time, as embarking on multiple projects at once
is a good way to go nowhere fast!
24th-31st: Creative goals. Venus conjoins
Neptune in your solar 11th on the 27th, so
spend time with a group of friends who used to
see each other on a regular basis but seem to
have drifted apart. Arrange a visit with them to a
concert, film, or art gallery, as a way of reminding
you to set creative goals for yourself. The time
you set aside for this will not be wasted.

76 Horoscope Guide
 DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR TAURUS
1st Wed.—You’re as solid and steady as they come, Taurus.
A colleague notices your practical approach and implements it.
Higher-ups and partners rely on your savvy business acumen.
2nd Thurs.—Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Capricorn, your
house of higher education, international issues, spiritual pur-
suits, and ethics (the 9th). Gather the facts; discard all theories.
3rd Fri.—Mars enters Sagittarius, the house of your partner’s
income, borrowing, and lending, and debts (the 8th). Fines and
fees will escalate quickly; pay what you owe now.
4th Sat.—Your nuts-and-bolts outlook gets a workout as you
become enamored with progressive ideas. New methods of
making financial transactions are brought to your attention.
5th Sun.—Getting your point across to an adviser or
cross-cultural individual flows easily once the basics are in
place. Preserving an art form from the past is something you’ll
embrace.
6th Mon.—New career objectives are on the table for dis-
cussion, and some reach across cultures and dispel outdated
methods of production. Modernity boosts profits, implement
the changes.
7th Tues.—The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
giving you a chance to help a friend in need, by using your
talent and appreciation for the arts. A quick fix requires ready
cash.
8th Wed.—Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
opening dialogue about sensitive topics and paving the way
for you to become immersed in a novel, movie, or educational
topic.
9th Thurs.—Siblings, cousins, and neighbors bring good
news that needs your follow up. Local events are in conflict
with media and cross-cultural headlines; bridging the gap is
a challenge.
10th Fri.—The Full Moon in Cancer lights up the house of
cars, commutes, information, and communication (the 3rd).
Emotional intelligence becomes magnified, and takes center
stage.
11th Sat.—You’ll give a big ego a wide berth and go on about
your business. Home improvements are on the agenda, so
you’re willing and able to make them happen.
12th Sun.—Mercury conjoins Saturn in Capricorn, your house
of instructors, in-laws, academics, and special journeys (the
9th). You’ll seek the proof in the pudding.

projects, friendship, and group dynamics (the 11th). Your reli-
ability and sensitivity make you standout in the crowd.
14th Tues.—Your standards for kids and teens just went up a
notch, and you’ll enforce them gently but firmly. Extracurricular
activities are scrutinized for possible elimination.
15th Wed.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus, pre-
senting you with new faces in the crowd that quickly become
friends. Romance may follow, but not in the way you planned.
16th Thurs.—Mercury enters Aquarius, your house of status,
higher-ups, and your career (the 10th). Technological advanc-
es help you up the ladder when you explain them to your boss.
17th Fri.—Open enemies plot a subtle strategy but you’re
standing firm no matter what. Partners disagree with your
agenda and seek to manipulate it, even though you won’t
budge an inch.
18th Sat.—Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus,
showing you how progressive trends make outdated meth-
ods fade into the background. Favor the tried and true, but
embrace the new.
19th Sun.—Learning about cutting-edge developments in
investing and long-term financial security puts you in the inner
circle. Applying them as a business model gets you noticed.
20th Mon.—You’re off and running with a new financial idea,
but others have their doubts. Interest rates escalate, along
with credit card balances. Promises made are not delivered.
21st Tues.—Travel plans are on the table, but you’ll want to
remain parked on the sofa. Your partner’s spending increases
despite your pleas to economize. Time to adjust the purse
strings.
22nd Wed.—Rules and regulations are coming on strong,
but you don’t see the logic in many of them. Outworn habits
are discarded, but controversy arises due to differences of
opinion.
23rd Thurs.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn,
placing Cupid in a classroom, law office, or en route to a
far-flung destination. Similar perspectives give you grist for
the mill.
24th Fri.—The New Moon in Aquarius activates the house of
authority figures, career pursuits, status, and rank (the 10th).
Changes here incline you to think differently about your job.
25th Sat.—Talking to higher-ups brings your objectives into
sharper focus, and you’ll entertain the thought of pursuing
a different path. Technology makes your decisions easier
to make.
26th Sun.—Venus in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius,
creating problems with worthy causes and fundraising. Keep
a sharp eye on the cash box to avoid money being misspent.

house of friendship, aspirations, and teamwork (the 11th).
Sacrificing comes easy for a friend or for something bigger
than yourself.
28th Tues.—Lending a hand to someone in need highlights
your ability to roll up your sleeves and present tangible results.
Sob stories get short shrift; get busy and watch results
manifest.
29th Wed.—Usually you move at a slow, steady pace, but
now you’re in a hurry to tackle a personal matter and solve it
quickly. Innovative solutions produce the best outcome.
30th Thurs.—A financial fracas needs to be handled behind
the curtain, and it’s best to see it through without any
interference. Bills are paid and the fallout is swept under
the carpet.
31st Fri.—Culture clashes and differences of opinion create
stalemate. Keeping the communication lines open is the only
way to move forward and reach a compromise.
JANUARY 2020 77
 GEMINI May 21st to June 20th

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE

1st-8th: Mo’ money. As the new year gets
underway, financial opportunities may present
themselves, Gemini. When Mercury and Jupiter
form a conjunction in your solar 8th, on the 2nd,
start to work on finding new and reliable ways
to save or invest with less risk and more reward.
Even modest amounts in an annuity or a tax-free
retirement account can improve your savings.
9th-16th. Talents and limits. The Full Moon (lunar
eclipse) highlights your solar 2nd on the 10th, so
rearranging your finances should take priority.
As you think about investment opportunities,
look at ways to earn more, perhaps including a
small home business you can work on in your off
hours. Consider every possibility, but know both
your talents and your limits.
17th-23rd: Learning the realities. After the Sun
enters your solar 9th on the 20th, an online or
evening course to learn more about the realities
behind the possibilities you are looking at might
help. If you lack the time for this, start small by
placing items for sale on websites like eBay or
Etsy. Believe it or not, people are willing to pay
for things you’re ready to throw away!
24th-31st: Weighing your options. On the 25th,
with Mercury in your solar 9th forming a sextile to
Mars in your solar 7th, discuss your hopes and
dreams with your significant other or someone
close to you whom you can trust. That person
can help by supporting you, and by playing
devil’s advocate can help you weigh different
points of view and come to the right decision.

78 Horoscope Guide
 DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR GEMINI
1st Wed.—You like to keep your options open, Gemini. A
boss emulates your policy here and wheels and deals with
a successful outcome. Your input is vital and helps pave
the way.
2nd Thurs.—Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Capricorn, making
you aware of shenanigans, mistakes, or undue increases on
financial statements and insurance premiums. Take action.
3rd Fri.—Mars enters Sagittarius, your house of confronta-
tions, competitors, and relationships (the 7th). Partners will
demand freedom, or simply take it; draw battle lines.
4th Sat.—Your attempts to enjoy some downtime are inter-
rupted despite your efforts to keep them in check. A personal
matter can rattle your delicate nerves; take it nice and slow.
5th Sun.—Now you’re able to relax on your own terms, and
do some daydreaming in the process. Escaping into a book or
movie stimulates your imagination to new frontiers.
6th Mon.—You’re able to function as the power behind the
throne in certain situations, and your skill and aplomb here
makes others take notice. No one is the wiser to some of
your cover-ups.
7th Tues.—Brainstorming sessions are productive, but dif-
ferences of opinion are rife. Much can be accomplished once
everyone’s gotten past personal offenses and bruised egos.
Move forward.
8th Wed.—Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
setting the stage for intriguing conversations and private
solutions to public concerns. Back room deals solve many
problems.
9th Thurs.—Ideas about spending and budgeting are easily
exaggerated, but a willingness to splurge brushes up against
facts and figures that act as a reality check and more econ-
omizing.
10th Fri.—The Full Moon in Cancer illuminates the house of
your assets and income (the 2nd). Expenses related to home
and heart prevail, but a sudden turn of events may be costly.
11th Sat.—Your engaging wit keeps everyone upbeat and
entertained, and an off-color joke or two gets the party going.
Open communication with your mate will hit the nail on the
head.
12th Sun.—Saturn conjoins Pluto in Capricorn, turning your
ability to connect the dots into sleuthing for clues, trouble-
shooting, and probing mysteries. Tackle debt management.
13th Mon.—Venus enters Pisces, the house of your reputa-
tion, status, and career (the 10th). Higher-ups show compas-
sion, and creativity will be encouraged on the job.
14th Tues.—Organizing your joint finances flows smoothly,
but this task may divert your attention from professional
commitments. Switch gears; put your “twin” to work.
15th Wed.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus, letting
you work behind the scenes in order to produce superior
work. Higher-ups are impressed with your output and move
you up.
16th Thurs.—Mercury enters Aquarius, your house of higher
education, ethics, media, in-laws, and instructors (the 9th).
Discussions here focus on abstract topics and futuristic ideas.
17th Fri.—A nagging health issue sends you behind closed
doors for a breather. People who work under you in the chain
of command are secretive and sly; a plot may be brewing.
18th Sat.—Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus,
placing quarrelsome people in your midst. Private conver-
sations can clear the air. Computer and phone problems
proliferate.
19th Sun.—You and your mate discuss everything from A
to Z and create a game plan for your future in the process.
Memories of the past can send you both on jaunts to far-flung
places.
20th Mon.—Partners are hard to pin down, either with time
commitments or with following through on responsibilities.
Persistence is required; your best efforts seem futile. They
aren’t.
21st Tues.—Relationships become a game of touch and go,
but you won’t push too hard to tie anyone to home, hearth,
and family duties. Take control; your turn to flit about comes
later.
22nd Wed.—Financial worries rise to the surface, and
seasoned professionals, including your boss, provide invalu-
able advice and assistance. Follow up and accelerate debt
payments.
23rd Thurs.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn,
making you stand out among the in-crowd in office politics
and professional pursuits. Someone’s generosity surprises
you.
24th Fri.—The New Moon in Aquarius triggers the house
of long-distance travel, higher education, legal issues, and
in-laws (the 9th). Progressive ideas make an impression.
25th Sat.—Discussing yesterday’s topics places you among
free thinkers who embrace technology and promote humane
projects. Talkfests can last until the wee hours; you’re hooked.
26th Sun.—Venus in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius,
placing Cupid in your vicinity, whether his presence is conve-
nient or not. Obstacles and conflicts come to the fore.
27th Mon.—Venus conjoins Neptune in Pisces, inclining
members of the top brass to disappear and enjoy themselves.
Good fortune lands in your lap in career endeavors.
28th Tues.—Mars in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces,
bringing unusual introductions and disappointments in rela-
tionships. A wolf in sheep ’s clothing is circling the wagons;
take heed.
29th Wed.—Take some much-needed downtime to relax as
you shut out the world for an hour or two. Afterward catch up
on emails, voice messages, bills, and other correspondence.
30th Thurs.—Colleagues and partners are in a rush to get
somewhere and you’ll keep up the pace despite a full agenda.
A quick handshake paves the way for a new and exciting
friendship.
31st Fri.—Disturbing subjects rise to the surface, but open
discussions provide a clear-headed approach to addressing
the problem and then solving it one way or another.

80 Horoscope Guide
 DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR CANCER
1st Wed.—Your ability to empathize with others extends to
members of the younger generation. Wisdom offered here
is taken to heart, and your appreciation for the arts comes
into focus.
2nd Thurs.—Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Capricorn, inclining
your mate or an opponent to exaggerate information out of
proportion and use it to your disadvantage. Gather the facts.
3rd Fri.—Mars enters Sagittarius, your house of medical
matters, diet, chores, hired help, and daily routine (the 6th).
Furry friends keep you active; staff members are cross-cul-
tural.
4th Sat.—Spending quality time with free-thinking friends
boosts your confidence and ability to interact in groups and
on social media. Clubs and community projects attract your
attention.
5th Sun.—Communication lines are open with your mate and
with like-minded pals. Brainstorming sessions result in a plan
of action that includes financial gain now and later.
6th Mon.—Opinions clash on spending plans and cost-ef-
fectiveness. Your business acumen takes center stage with
fundraising efforts that bring in more than enough money.
7th Tues.—The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
enabling your mate to show true compassion, kindness, and
forgiveness. There’s a flurry of activity in private quarters.
8th Wed.—Mercury sextiles Neptune in Pisces, giving you
a chance to speak persuasively about higher education,
spirituality, cross-cultural issues, and ethics. Heads turn in
your direction.
9th Thurs.—Petty differences become a tempest in a tea-
cup. Reframing the situation brings a new perspective and
wisdom to reach compromises and solutions. Present the
bigger picture.
10th Fri.—The Full Moon in Cancer lights up the house of
your appearance, outlook, and vitality (the 1st). Your emotions
blaze at full throttle; so does patriotism and your family.

center stage, along with impulsive spending and high prices.
Pets and staff members get the full measure of your tender
loving care.
12th Sun.—Mercury conjoins Pluto in Capricorn, your house
of competition, confrontation, and relationships (the 7th). Your
mate becomes a sleuth and uses your astute observations.
13th Mon.—Venus enters Pisces, your house of international
travel, media, instructors, and in-laws (the 9th). Assistance
and solutions in these areas land in your lap; embrace them.
14th Tues.—Specific information is required to move a situa-
tion forward, and you’ll know where to find it. Your mate lends
a hand, but watch for conflicts at a later date.
15th Wed.—Unexpected cross-cultural connections are
inspiring and open doors for opportunities to travel, explore,
and establish new friendships. Cupid nocks an arrow.
16th Thurs.—Mercury enters Aquarius, the house of your
partner’s income, financial settlements, and debts (the 8th).
New methods of paying bills enter the picture.
17th Fri.—Cupid’s arrow lands on someone you’ve encoun-
tered in a group setting. Responding to love’s call is optional,
but the romantic connection may be weak at best.
18th Sat.—Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus,
bringing startling news about insurance, interest rates, loans,
and friends. Process the information before you act on it.
19th Sun.—A new way to tackle a household chore comes
into play, and technology plays a role in it. Cross-cultural
medical treatments attract your attention, and furry friends
predominate.
20th Mon.—Housekeeping goes on hold while you explore
matters that are more interesting and educational. Hired help
may fail to meet your expectations; meals are rushed.
21st Tues.—Much like yesterday, but tasks are often left
unfinished due to incomplete information, interruptions, or
rushed schedules. Pets are listless and off their usual diets.
22nd Wed.—Your significant other is taking a no-nonsense
approach to cooperation and delegation of duties. Jump
on their bandwagon and you’ll see how relationships really
work.
23rd Thurs.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn,
setting the stage for you to apply yesterday’s lesson in give
and take. Traditional values take root and grow for better
or worse.

of insurance, financial settlements, credit cards, taxes, mort-
gages, and debts (the 8th). Innovative solutions arise in these
matters.

unnecessary fines and fees, and you’ll find clever methods
through technology to pay off what you owe. Spread the word
to others.
26th Sun.—Venus in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius,
sending you into a whirlwind of indulging in international
cuisine and socializing with sophisticated people. Live it up.

bringing disillusionment among hired help and coworkers that
can bring unwelcome changes to your health regimen.
29th Wed.—You’re able to work around authority figures
and make your own rules, at least for a few hours. Others
flock to your relaxed but effective system of getting a job
done on time.
30th Thurs.—A boss’ overspending becomes a bigger
problem than you bargained for, and you may have to sweep
some additional expenditures under the carpet to offset
further trouble.
31st Fri.—Outside influences create obstacles in pursuing
certain career goals, and the most effective way to remove
them is to change your tactics and then follow your own
advice.

house of health maintenance, hired help, chores, and your
diet (the 6th). Minor changes here can have major ramifi-
cations.

romance, sports, and entertainment (the 5th). The playing
fields are rife with action, and Cupid’s arrows resemble an
archery contest.

employment embrace technology in unprecedented ways.
Progressive tactics are implemented that accelerate profit.
5th Sun.—Career endeavors flow smoothly, and people who
work under you in the chain of command are skilled, helpful,
and ready to assume responsibility. Much is accomplished.
6th Mon.—You and your mate differ on matters regarding
spending and celebrating. Tedious tasks are shouldered with
a resigned attitude and the outcome is in proportion to your
effort.
7th Tues.—The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
giving you a chance to save on staple products and make
do with less without feeling a pinch. A little sacrifice goes a
long way.
8th Wed.—Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
placing more information in front of you regarding wellness,
financial gain, hiring help, and pet care. Solutions highlight
creativity.
9th Thurs.—Help comes from private and unusual sources
regarding a health issue or medical problem. Both time-hon-
ored and progressive treatments are considered for personal
gain.
10th Fri.—The Full Moon in Cancer illuminates the house of
privacy, self-destructive habits, downtime, and rehabilitation
(the 12th). Emotional triggers shed light on bad behavior.
11th Sat.—Your charisma ratchets up a notch or two, bring-
ing Cupid front and center. An unforeseen turn of events at

receivable and payable highlights superfluous spending. Get
back to basics; dine and party at home to save money.

ing it easy for you to connect with like-minded people. Career

sive trends. Lighthearted dialogue can win hearts.
20th Mon.—Cupid hovers over a globetrotter, scholar,
instructor, lawyer, or coach. Opinions come on strong, and

25th Sat.—Talking about trying something new and different
leads to experimentation and discoveries that are adapted for
present and future use. Cutting edge equipment is in order.
26th Sun.—Venus in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius,

than that.

of credit, debt, insurance, other people’s resources, and
financial settlements (the 8th). Kindness overflows here.

lending, particularly among friends or in groups. Stay
grounded.
29th Wed.—Your patience with confrontations on social
media is limited at best, and you’re tempted to ignore it as
you discover something new that has riveted your attention.
Pounce.
30th Thurs.—An intelligent and articulate person attracts
your attention, and you’ll want to cover new ground with
them. A shared academic or cross-cultural interest is the
tie that binds.
31st Fri.—An overloaded work schedule prevents you from
traveling or moving forward on a project. Discussions with
your partner focus on seeing the bigger picture on a certain
topic.

84 Horoscope Guide
 DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR VIRGO
1st Wed.—You get the job done, Virgo. Recruiting others to
help undertake an unpleasant task works to your benefit, and
your significant other pitches in too. Instructions are clear.
2nd Thurs.—Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Capricorn, your
house of entertainment, risk, children, sports, and romance
(the 5th). Big plans here need to be narrowed down and
focused.
3rd Fri.—Mars enters Sagittarius, your house of family roots,
real estate, and elders (the 4th). The ties that bind become a
bit too tight for your liking; plan a day trip to blow off steam.
4th Sat.—A fanciful theory is clarified and brought down to
brass tacks. Now you’re listening, and absorbing the informa-
tion to boot. New frontiers are opened for your exploration.
5th Sun.—Explaining a complicated process to others high-
lights your practical side and your communication skills. Kids,
teens, and athletes will pick up on your message.
6th Mon.—Cupid’s on the scene, but his signals are hard to
decipher. Planning a trip, a party, or a sporting event falls into
place, and the finishing touches will make others take notice.
7th Tues.—The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
opening a window of opportunity for you to take charge in a
situation with children, artists, and anything related to water.
8th Wed.—Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
enabling you to dispense information more creatively than
usual. Drawings, emojis, and texts will speak volumes.
9th Thurs.—Rules aren’t being followed in your domestic
environment, despite your penchant for implementing order
and system. Pets are undisciplined, and your elders do their
own thing.
10th Fri.—The Full Moon in Cancer illuminates the house of
friendship, community projects, clubs, teams, and aspirations
(the 11th). Worthy causes forge deep, lasting connections.
11th Sat.—Unusual circumstances arise in private quarters,
and your approval isn’t required. Mom, Pop, or an older family
member is more open to discussing past and current issues.
12th Sun.—Saturn conjoins Pluto in Capricorn, your house
of love affairs, kids, sports, creativity, and entertainment
(the 5th). Intense confrontations here have long-term con-
sequences.
13th Mon.—Venus enters Pisces, your house of open
enemies, competitors, opponents, and partners (the 7th).
Compassion and forgiveness win the day here, and so does
your pity.

takes center stage as you roll up your sleeves and do what’s
necessary. Sweethearts reap the benefit of your organiza-
tional ability.

the beaten path attracts your attention; strike up a friendship.
16th Thurs.—Mercury enters Aquarius, your house of
medical matters, chores, your daily routine, meals, and hired
help (the 6th). All your quirks about health issues come to
the fore.
17th Fri.—Dubious information brushes up against educated
discussions; your discerning ear will separate the wheat from
the chaff so you can use it to best advantage.
18th Sat.—Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus,
presenting you with unforeseen verbal volleys that can be
simultaneously humorous and hurtful. Intuition produces
static.
19th Sun.—Your razor-sharp observations are put to work in
your home, assessing repairs, costs, and workflow priorities.
Older family members sharpen your already astute analyses.
20th Mon.—Your patience for family responsibilities is
limited, so get out from under them and have an adventure;
if only for an hour or two. Partners don’t meet your current
expectations.
21st Tues.—A like-minded colleague acts as a nurturer,
taking you in hand for instruction, or to work on a community
project. Kids and teens set up a strategic plan.
22nd Wed.—Applying traditional values to your love life
raises the bar and can turn a romance into a committed
relationship. Practical goals are part of the picture here; reach
for them.
23rd Thurs.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn,
bringing compassion and ambition into partnerships.
Opponents play a fair game but aren’t overly aggressive, and
neither are you.
24th Fri.—The New Moon in Aquarius triggers the house of
medical treatments, pets, staff, chores, job skills, and your
diet (the 6th). Trendy meal plans and tech upgrades will
manifest.

or vitamin rivets your attention, and you’ll want to spread
the word. A staff member possesses skills you’re interested
in learning.

presenting obstacles in partnerships and in domestic under-
takings. Differences of opinion over spending are high on the

of relationships (the 7th). Divine love rises to the surface, and
you’re moved by it. A little miracle will go a long way. Follow it.
28th Tues.—Mars in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces,
throwing a smokescreen over yesterday’s magic. Compassion
takes center stage, but tiny seeds of doubt take root and grow.
29th Wed.—Your partner’s spends more frivolously than
you’d like, and your rational approach to finances prevails.
Home upgrades cost more than you bargained for; elders
speak their mind.
30th Thurs.—Expenses on kids,sports, hobbies and enter-
tainment escalate, so you’ll have to rein them in. Your
penchant for economizing and celebrating simple pleasures
enters in.
31st Fri.—An aggressive stance on paying down debt comes
into focus, and your talent for bookkeeping saves the day as
you create a budget that suits all and sundry.
JANUARY 2020 85
 LIBRA September 23rd to October 22nd

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE

1st-8th: “Relative” planning. Spending quality
time with family will be important in the year
ahead, Libra. A confluence of planets in your
solar 4th, means you need to make a special
effort to maintain better communication with
members of your immediate and extended
family. The holidays make it difficult to stay in
touch, so do your best to make it happen.
9th-16th: Art of compromise. With Mercury,
Saturn and Pluto all conjoining in your solar
4th on the 12th, the keyword for this week
is “intensity.” Family matters sometimes bring
conflict, so you may be asked to mediate if
two family members disagree. Bringing people
together is your strong suit, so use your talents
in the art of compromise to make things right.
17th-23rd: Loving feeling. Venus in your solar
6th forms a sextile to Jupiter in your solar 4th
on the 23rd, so your feelings of appreciation
for those you love will be evident to all. Those
feelings extend to everyone who touches your
daily life, even when you disagree with them.
Your acceptance of others leads you to amass
friendships and gain the respect of others.
24th-31st: Have a great time. The New Moon
in your solar 5th on the 24th should prompt
you to think of this as a new beginning for
physical activities like skiing, swimming, and
dancing. If you are involved in an artistic pursuit
make time for it amid personal and professional
responsibilities. Do your best to integrate all
these activities into your life.

88 Horoscope Guide
 DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR SCORPIO
1st Wed.—You plumb the depths, Scorpio. The Moon transits
Pisces, your house of love affairs (the 5th), inclining you to
immerse yourself in Cupid’s domain until later in the day.
2nd Thurs.—Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Capricorn, your
house of commutes, communication, siblings, and neighbors
(the 3rd). Cutting-edge information makes a difference now.
3rd Fri.—Mars enters Sagittarius, the house of your paycheck
and possessions (the 2nd). Flagrant spending depletes your
coffers; so do extravagant gifts. Distribute what’s unused.
4th Sat.—Your significant other sends you a bolt from the
blue. Unforeseen changes occur in partnerships, and unex-
pected confrontations press deep buttons. Seethe quietly.
5th Sun.—Yesterday’s shock to the system is worked out by
perusing the details and discussing them. Money matters fall
into place after you’ve economized on the finer points.
6th Mon.—Communication lines are buzzing about business
matters that show a profit. Home and hearth need attention,
but you’ll put them on hold; right now you have other fish
to fry.
7th Tues.—The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
giving you an opportunity to meet a prospective love interest
or engage in artistic pursuits. Disputes occur about money
going out.
8th Wed.—Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
setting off imaginative discussions about literature, the arts, or
education. Kids and teens open your mind to new possibilities.
9th Thurs.—An instructor, adviser, or cross-cultural person
instigates discussions about a sore point, but then points the
way to reaching the middle ground. Opinions are coming on
strong.
10th Fri.—The Full Moon in Cancer lights up the house of
higher education, international travel, and legal issues (the
9th). Events here can effect both partnerships and money.
11th Sat.—Authority figures boast and throw their weight
around. Increasing your income without undue effort is on the
agenda, and possibilities arise in far-flung locations.
12th Sun.—Mercury conjoins Saturn in Capricorn, your
house of siblings, commutes, information, and neighbors (the
3rd). Facts and figures will speak for themselves here.
13th Mon.—Venus enters Pisces, your house of romance
(the 5th). Cupid arrives in all his glory, and the possibilities
have you swooning. Art, music, and natural beauty take you
to new heights.
14th Tues.—Community projects require a high degree
of organization, and your contributions are highly favored.
Helping hands make light work; you’ll steer the ship well if
you’re asked to.
15th Wed.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus,
enabling a prospective sweetheart to enter your line of vision.
Excitement is on the agenda, and traditional values don’t
apply.
16th Thurs.—Mercury enters Aquarius, your house of family
roots, home, and real estate (the 4th). Your typically suspi-
cious approach here opens up to a more abstract analysis.
17th Fri.—Doubts about your partner take your line of think-
ing down a dark alley, but it’s in your best interest to walk into
the sunshine to avoid unreasonable or unfounded accusations.
18th Sat.—Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus,
creating obstacles to getting your point across to others,
particularly your partner. Comments reach a flash point; tread
carefully.
19th Sun.—Conversation flows again with plans for current
projects and future travel. Education is a high priority in both
scenarios, with a focus on progressive undertakings.
20th Mon.—Bills need paying, and more are coming in.
Impulsive spending becomes an issue that needs careful
handling, and romantic pursuits can pave the way toward
overindulgence.
21st Tues.—A lackadaisical or philosophical approach to
accounts receivable and accounts payable gets you through a
rough patch, but won’t provide you with a conclusive outcome.
22nd Wed.—Information needs to be processed before you
act on it. Harsh facts speak loud clear, so putting your own
spin on them won’t alter the story one bit. Dodge the bullets.
23rd Thurs.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn,
making it easy for you to express your feelings about a sweet-
heart. Shouldering responsibility makes others take notice.
24th Fri.—The New Moon in Aquarius stimulates the house
of your home and family (the 4th). An unforeseen event
here brings state-of-the-art technology front and center.
Use it well.
25th Sat.—Mom, Pop, or an older family member swaps
stories from another time and place. New methods of storing
documents and information are implemented on an everyday
basis.
26th Sun.—Venus in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius,
stoking the passions this sign is noted for. Cupid’s on the
prowl, and a hefty tab at the end of the evening is on his
agenda.
27th Mon.—Venus conjoins Neptune in Pisces, sending you
to the heights of romance with the lover of your dreams. Make
it count, and don’t let false hopes leave you out on a limb.
28th Tues.—Mars in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces,
bringing unrealistic expectations about finances. Temptation
to spend over your head needs to be avoided; stand your
ground.
29th Wed.—Minor health issues are swept under the carpet
because you’re too intent on moving forward, and uncon-
cerned with allegedly petty delays. Pets and staff members

90 Horoscope Guide
 DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR SAGITTARIUS
1st Wed.—Tending to home and hearth isn’t high on your list
of priorities, Sagittarius. Nevertheless you’ll take a more active
role here and act as the power behind the throne.
2nd Thurs.—Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Capricorn, the house
of your assets and income (the 2nd). Keeping a sharp eye on
your bottom line prevents you from overspending.
3rd Fri.—Mars enters Sagittarius, the house of your perspec-
tive, appearance, and vitality (the 1st). Your need to roam
and wander is triggered, and once again you’re off to parts
unknown.
4th Sat.—If having a furry friend at your side is part of your
profile, they’ll generate more excitement than usual, breaking
the ice at social gatherings. Service dogs’ skills will stand out.
5th Sun.—Making do with less frees you up to experiment,
improvise, and create. Economizing on minor items adds
more to your coffers than you thought; analyze your budget
and adapt.
6th Mon.—Your penchant for overindulging on food and drink
comes into focus, but you’ll know your limit and acknowledge
it. Tightened finances will only purchase so much.
7th Tues.—The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
turning your attention to household issues and family con-
cerns. Verbal volleys come on strong, but you’ll eventually
clear the air.
8th Wed.—You tell it like it is, but you’ll interject kind words
and compliments to make the medicine go down easier.
Communicating with elders is highlighted for its compassion.
9th Thurs.—You’re attracted to a prospective love interest
whose passion for education and free thinking matches your
own. Commitment eludes both parties, but you’ll still have fun.
10th Fri.—The Full Moon in Cancer lights up the house of your
partner’s income, credit cards, taxes, insurance, and debts (the
8th). Adjust accordingly here as sudden changes arise.
11th Sat.—Your educated opinion is called on, and you’ll
give it loud and clear, letting the chips fall where they may.
Travel plans are on the table for discussion, and you’re already
on board.
12th Sun.—Saturn conjoins Pluto in Capricorn, the house of
your possessions and paycheck (the 2nd). A reality check pre-
vents certain undertakings, but you’re determined to find a way.
13th Mon.—Venus enters Pisces, the house of your elders,
home, and real estate (the 4th). Compassion takes center
stage here, and the ties that bind will take on a new meaning.

career project that requires long hours of hard work. You’ll
deliver the goods, and your performance helps you up the

creating unexpected social conditions in family dynamics.
Pets or hired help set off unforeseen events that have upbeat
repercussions.

munications, cars, commutes, siblings, and neighbors (the 3rd).
Your hail-fellow-well-met approach crosses social barriers.

ramifications, but take some downtime for yourself. You’ll
need it.
18th Sat.—Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus,
setting the stage for your verbal arrows of truth to hit their
targets for better or worse. Double-talkers better stand back.
19th Sun.—Your erudite observations make others sit up
and take notice, and others will flock to your dialogue. A day
trip brings out the best in you; explore, discover, learn, and
tell us about it.
20th Mon.—Sitting in one place becomes more difficult than
usual, so you’ll need to get outdoors despite weather or work
schedules. Domestic chores go on hold while you wander.
21st Tues.—Disarray in your cash flow demands your
attention, but reconciling your bottom line requires more time
and effort than you bargained for. Duty calls and you must
respond.
22nd Wed.—The give and take of parenting comes into
focus, and you’ll get new insight about setting limits and
setting up a reward system. Positive reinforcement becomes
a two-way street.
23rd Thurs.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn,
inclining you to spruce up your home and spend quality time
with members of the older generation. Empathy comes on
strong.
24th Fri.—The New Moon in Aquarius activates the house of
transportation, connections, commutes, and information (the
3rd). The Digital Age brings changes in one of these areas.
25th Sat.—Spreading the word about yesterday’s techno-
logical impact brings more insight and news about current
capabilities and future possibilities. Past performance pales
in comparison.
26th Sun.—Venus in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius,
placing Cupid in a real estate office, in the great outdoors,
or right in front of you. Passion sizzles, but don’t make any
commitments.
27th Mon.—Venus conjoins Neptune in Pisces, forging loving
family bonds that are based on faith, sacrifice, and the highest
good. You’ll go along with the flow, and relish your role in it.
28th Tues.—Mars in Sagittarius squares Neptune in
Pisces, adding a dash of dysfunction in your plans for
home and hearth. It’s all in good humor, and you’ll all
adjust accordingly.
29th Wed.—Romantic pursuits come and go quickly with
someone who craves freedom and adventure as much as you
do. The roles of pal and sweetheart can be interchangeable.
30th Thurs.—Financial restrictions cramp your style and
impact your ability to roam around to your liking. Boots on the
ground are the best alternative to booking a long-distance trip.
31st Fri.—Cupid flies in again, and as long as the conver-
sation is upbeat, progressive, and educational all goes well.
Spirits are dampened if the subjects change to mundane
topics.

92 Horoscope Guide
 DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR CAPRICORN
1st Wed.—You always seek practical results, Capricorn.
Lending assistance in a worthy cause makes you roll up your
sleeves and pitch in, and you’ll expect colleagues to do the
same.
2nd Thurs.—Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Capricorn, the house
of your perspective and vitality (the 1st) Big plans need close
scrutiny before you present them to others. Ideas will take root.
3rd Fri.—Mars enters Sagittarius, your house of solitude,
rehabilitation, destructive habits, and charity (the 12th). Action
is taken here with a philosophical approach. Agreement isn’t
required.
4th Sat.—A child or teen displays creative or athletic ability,
and you’ll want to see it developed. Sudden changes at home
make you think on your feet so you can maintain the status
quo.
5th Sun.—Someone from the younger generation helps
you capitalize on ideas and put them out into the public eye.
Innovations open doors of opportunity that would otherwise
go unnoticed.
6th Mon.—Your penchant for having the finest leads to excess
and takes its toll on your bottom line. If the expense is for
yourself you’ll think twice. If it’s for a child you’ll go all the way.
7th Tues.—The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
presenting introductions to new neighbors. Opportunity knocks
to call upon your creativity, kindness, and deep sensitivity.

giving you an appreciation for literature, music, and the uses
of imagination and visualization. Empathy is easily aroused.

pursuits leaves you feeling out of control. You’ll regroup
quickly.
10th Fri.—The Full Moon in Cancer shines in the house of
partnerships, confrontations, opponents, and enemies (the
7th). Family issues rise to the surface; so does protection.
11th Sat.—Saving for a rainy day takes on a new meaning as
you develop a strategy to eliminate debts. Planning in secrecy
works for the moment; you’ll explain the minor points later on.
12th Sun.—Mercury conjoins Pluto in Capricorn, making you
probe information until you get to the bottom of what you’re
trying to grasp. Discretion is required here, and you’ll oblige.
13th Mon.—Venus enters Pisces, your house of commutes,
communication, siblings, and neighbors (the 3rd). Compassion

state-of-the-art technology in billing and in tracking your

dling.

presenting hurdles for you to jump as you overspend on
romantic pursuits, entertainment, and training for the younger
generation.
19th Sun.—Help comes from behind the scenes in money
matters, even if it’s only finding a few loose dollars in your
pocket. Friendly advice zeros in on a personal problem; now
solve it.
20th Mon.—Much-needed downtime gives you the time and
space you need to decompress. Avoiding cell phones and
social media frees your mind for more creative enterprises.
21st Tues.—For you, taking care of business is synonymous
with taking care of your family. The latter takes precedence
now, and all your energy and resources go into nurturing
loved ones.
22nd Wed.—You’ll give credit where credit is due, especially
pertaining to industrious individuals who are on their way up
the ladder. Appreciate and compliment as you please.
23rd Thurs.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn,
highlighting your good manners, social graces, and ability to
work the room. Generating good will gets you noticed and
admired.
24th Fri.—The New Moon in Aquarius stimulates the house
of your values, resources, and cash flow (the 2nd). Seeds are
planted for revolutionary changes here; prepare to adjust.

placing Cupid around a commuter, neighbor, or someone
who works behind the curtain. Freewheeling folks lighten you

domestic concerns is limited; minor details are placed on hold.

planned for repairs or family issues causes much conster-
nation.
31st Fri.—Disagreements about domestic concerns escalate,
but open discussions present options and clear the air. Short

94 Horoscope Guide
 DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR AQUARIUS
1st Wed.—Your viewpoint is often at odds with that of others,
Aquarius. Needing to do your own thing at all costs has its
own price tag, but you’ll readily pay the tab.
2nd Thurs.—Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Capricorn, your
house of rehabilitation, charity, self-undoing, and solitude (the
12th). Minor issues here can become highly exaggerated.
3rd Fri.—Mars enters Sagittarius, your house of friendships,
humanitarian outreach, teamwork, and visionary goals (the
11th). Camaraderie here escalates as you work for a worthy
cause.
4th Sat.—Your emotional equilibrium gets a jolt, but its effect
can bring unexpected pleasure. Impromptu gatherings do
much to facilitate establishing strong ties.
5th Sun.—Open communication lines with kids, teens,
athletes, artists, and sweethearts lay the groundwork for
practical plans of action at a later date. Line up all the facts
and figures now.
6th Mon.—Overspending on entertainment and luxury can
put you in the red, but its effect is temporary. You’ll find more
economical ways to satisfy your expensive tastes.
7th Tues.—The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
giving you a chance to make financial plans without involving
others. Once you’re done, check your work carefully.
8th Wed.—Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces,
making it easy to get your point across in creative, humorous
ways. Jokes and a play on words can put you in the spotlight.
9th Thurs.—Your work ethic is legendary, but undertaking
the tasks of two or three people makes others look twice at
your organization and efficiency. The details all fall into place.
10th Fri.—The Full Moon in Cancer illuminates the house of
health matters and daily routine (the 6th). Partners may take
on the role of care-givers, as Cupid aims his arrow.
11th Sat.—Saving for a rainy day takes on new importance
as you take a hands-on approach to paying down debt and
economizing on insurance policies and high interest rates.
Be creative.
12th Sun.—Saturn conjoins Pluto in Capricorn, the house
of your quiet time, secrets, and dreams (the 12th). You are
inclined to stay close to home, but your imagination wanders
far.
13th Mon.—Venus enters Pisces, the house that identifies
the things you value (the 2nd). You may feel the impulse to be
generous, but count your pennies before you give them away.
14th Tues.—Discriminating outlooks on world affairs links
you with like-minded people and presents a wide berth to
those with different points of view. Open dialogue wins the
day.
15th Wed.—Facilitating cooperation in teamwork and group
dynamics is easy for you. This helpful attribute ratchets up
as you recruit folks for a common cause. Cupid flies in, too.
16th Thurs.—Mercury enters Aquarius, the house of your
appearance, vitality, and perspective (the 1st). Your penchant
for abstract thinking increases; progressive conversations
follow suit.
17th Fri.—You may find yourself torn in two directions
between your professional and domestic responsibilities.
Emotional upheaval is kept under check but tensions rise
without warning.
18th Sat.—Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus,
generating sharp words, computer problems, and trouble
with electronics in general. Impatience quickly escalates
into anger.
19th Sun.—Camaraderie reigns supreme as you mix and
mingle with like-minded pals. Dialogues are futuristic and
educational, making others stop and lend an ear to learn
something.
20th Mon.—Much like yesterday, only topics focus on
ethical, legal, or cross-cultural issues. Blunt comments and
outspoken opinions lead to flare-ups, confusion, and social
awkwardness.
21st Tues.—Overly optimistic causes lead to unrealistic
expectations or deep disillusionment. Finding a workable
common ground requires a reality check and an organized
plan of action.
22nd Wed.—Activity behind the curtain appears to be sinis-
ter, but the outcome has a positive, if personal, effect. A little
act of charity will go a long way toward helping someone in
need.
23rd Thurs.—Venus in Pisces sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn.
Compassion and practicality join forces, but keep dreams
of true love to yourself. Revealing them is for another time..
24th Fri.—The New Moon in Aquarius activates the house of
your vitality and appearance (the 1st). A change in hairstyle,
eyewear, or wardrobe attracts attention, with comments to
follow.
25th Sat.—Your memory bank is unlocked, and stories are
shared among those with similar experiences. Bonhomie
spreads, but pining for the past doesn’t enter the picture.
Look ahead.
26th Sun.—Venus in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius,
creating romance in a new face among colleagues. Private
liaisons can become a two-edged sword; keep everything on
the up and up.
27th Mon.—Venus conjoins Neptune in Pisces, your house of
values, finance, and cash flow. Your heart leads in issues in
which your head should come first, so tread carefully.
28th Tues.—Mars in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces,
setting off private matters that require discretion and silence.
Investigate the facts carefully before you make any judgment.
29th Wed.—You’ll want to change decor or an annoying
situation in your home, but need to establish a strategy before
you begin. Hasty action here will create regrets at a later date.
30th Thurs.—An older family member helps you from behind
the scenes; you’ll appreciate the gesture and add your own
input for additional insight. The outcome pleases both parties.
31st Fri.—Certain restrictions on your home front create
impatience and anger, but an elder acts as the voice of reason
and presents other possibilities and solutions. Listen carefully.
