2020: Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Aries (All):
The summary of the year resides here; the details of the year are below.
There continues to be a strong focus on your career or life path goals, dear Aries, and the pressure is on!
With Saturn heading out of Capricorn this year, however, and Jupiter in the sign most of 2020, things ARE getting easier, or at the least, more pleasurable. In fact, you may very well enjoy your ambitious side, career, professional life, or managerial position far better this year. It’s a time for embracing desires and ambitions you may never have known you had, and going for it! It’s not going to be the same-old, same-old process, however. You are doing your professional and public life quite differently, and you are capable of tremendous success. The old way of doing things is pretty much dead and buried as the year progresses. It’s time for reinventing yourself.
It’s very appropriate to push your career forward this year and to put more of yourself into your work. The extra effort will be rewarded. Even so, when Jupiter moves into your social sector in December, you’ll feel a little more relieved, less pressured, and more connected with others. During this cycle, you’re appreciated for how well you get along with others more than how you’re performing or what you’re accomplishing. This is a forward-moving, optimistic time, even if there will be times when you’re a little overscheduled in your social world.
Keep in mind that even though Saturn and Jupiter move out of your career and reputation sector in December, Pluto stays, so it’s important to bring continued focus to getting the career that truly suits you and for pushing your practical and professional interests forward. The summer can bring the return of a previous condition related to your larger life plans and goals or career, and it’s time to put this problem or situation to rest.
The year is a powerful one for your professional or public life in particular. By mid-year, you’ll have largely figured out how to handle your burgeoning ambitions or worldly responsibilities and how to balance these pursuits with attention to your personal life and domestic world. Caring for family can be a strong theme, and with all that you’re juggling, you’re going to need to be creative and attentive.
The second half of the year asks you to pay special attention to how you communicate, connect, and present yourself. Polishing these things will go a long way towards your happiness and sense of fulfillment.
Mars is your ruler, and it spends the second half of the year in your sign! This is a much longer stay than usual considering Mars typically spends about 6-7 weeks in a sign. The reason for this extended visit is a retrograde cycle that occurs from September 9th to November 13th. At times during this cycle, you could feel as if you’re spinning your wheels or wasting time and energy. You may second-guess certain plans, feel some decrease in motivation or confidence, or wrestle with complicated desires. It’s a time for learning about resentment and anger, as well as your approach to asserting yourself and pursuing your goals, and how you might manage these things more to your advantage. From mid-November forward, you’ll be righting your path, understanding what you want, and finding a direct route to your objectives. This Mars retrograde is more personal than usual, and it’s strong for reorienting and redirecting you. Chances are high that you’ve been overdoing things and now you need to take some time to catch your breath!
Use the retrograde period to really get in touch with what motivates and drives you, and then put your plans into action when Mars is direct and approaching its regular speed in December.
This can also be a time for boosting a relationship with a sibling, classmate, or neighbor. There will be more to this story in 2021, but for now, things are moving in the direction of more involvement and of improvement. Love is not a big headline in 2020, which can mean that it’s mostly status quo. Some of you are finding love among childhood or long-lost friends.
As Saturn transitions out of your career sector this year, you’ll feel some pressure to perform subside. You’re still paying extra attention to your higher and long-term goals, but with less heaviness. Saturn moves into your solar eleventh house from March 21-July 1, and then from December 17th forward for a more consistent stay. With this transit, the emphasis is on more meaningful, streamlined, or business relationships, depending on your current situation.
However this energy plays out, you’re taking your associations and friendships more seriously with this transit that will last until March 2023. It’s a fabulous time, in fact, for forming a reliable connection or for quality business networking. With Saturn in supportive aspect to your sign, too, it’s a time of feeling more like you are on solid ground.
With some of the planetary pressure on its way out in 2020, there’s more room for enjoyment. Financial ups and downs or uncertainties this year ultimately lead you to discover unique and creative ways to make and manage money.

Key Events in 2020 for Aries:
Outer Planet Transits:
Saturn conjunct Pluto in January. This aspect can bring distinct pressures to succeed and achieve. You may be tearing something down so that you can rebuild it to be better, more appropriate, or more relevant. Since this alignment happens at the top of your solar chart, it’s about what you’re projecting to the world, particularly through your career, status, or reputation. It’s about accountability, authenticity, power, responsibilities, leadership, management, the rules, and life direction. It’s a time of working diligently on building your reputation and profession. Your approach to your life direction, management, major life structures, and reputation may go through a reworking of sorts as you approach them differently, and others see you in new ways. This influence ultimately pushes you to new heights, but there may be a fall or simply a new beginning or fresh start before you climb again.
Jupiter sextile Neptune from February to October. This transit helps us maintain a sense of proportion and to consider our morals and spiritual values as we pursue our objectives. It’s a time for connecting with idealistic and humanitarian goals, making connections with people from vastly different backgrounds than us and learning from their perspectives, and otherwise widening our experiences and broadening our minds.
With so much happening in your career and reputations sector, you need this subtle boost of inspiration, a sense of purpose, and compassion. It’s an uplifting transit that suggests inspiration can be found now. You may benefit from past work, good deeds, and experience, particularly in your profession. While you’re going hard in some areas of your life, this transit helps you find moments to detox, relax, decompress, detach, and rest. It also reminds you of the value of feeding your spirit, imagination, or romantic needs alongside your more worldly pursuits. It’s a time of increased personal meaning and purpose, particularly through your increased attention to mental and emotional health. This is a wonderful time for bringing more imagination and compassion to the equation.
Jupiter conjunct Pluto from March to November. This influence magnifies our ambitions to better ourselves or our circumstances. We can be doggedly determined to make improvements. We might also take things too far with this combination, and occurring in the sign of Capricorn, this can relate to power. As long as we channel our intense ambitions appropriately, this can be a powerful period for achievement. You want to take something to a completely new level. However we define success at this time in our lives, we’re ready to do what it takes to achieve it. There is a real sense that we can achieve something of significance now. We might focus this energy on an important project or focus it inward–on bettering ourselves through greater self-understanding. Overcoming obstacles can figure strongly during this transit.
For you, Aries, you’re striving toward more authenticity in your career or regarding your life path and direction. You receive a “power boost” of sorts to your career, reputation, or life path goals. Ambition increases, and so does enjoyment of what you’re doing and where you’re headed! You’re driven to improve your situation, whether this is about your reputation, leadership skills, or the need to follow some rules and structure or build self-discipline. You’re determined to succeed and prosper, however you define success and prosperity at this stage in your life and development. You’re embracing desires you never quite knew–or admitted to yourself–you had. While the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in January asked you to cut out inauthentic paths from your life, Jupiter-Pluto now helps you rebuild and reinvent yourself, particularly through your career or status and responsibilities.
Also this year:
Jupiter conjunct Saturn in December. This transit brings you much power to start fresh regarding your social life, networks, group associations, happiness goals and ventures, and business income. It’s a time for taking a realistic look at what you can do, assessing and surveying these areas of your life, and then pursuing what you feel you can realistically do! It’s a strong time for group goals, teamwork or collaboration, new dreams and personal objectives, causes, and friendships. What you begin now and in the coming year along these lines, Aries, can very well be significant and long-term. Important connections or associations can be made that further your goals.
Significant minor transits:
Mars conjunct Jupiter/Pluto and then Venus trine Jupiter/Pluto in the second half of March. An opportunity period for money, income, career, and reputation. You have a strong desire to make something unique and special, or to connect in powerful and perhaps profitable ways. It’s an excellent period for initiative and popularity.
You are at your most enterprising and entrepreneurial, and you’re enjoying it! This is a time for thinking big and for getting going on an important project or endeavor, setting and working towards your goals, and pursuing your ambitions directly and courageously. Your desire for more freedom and movement, or to call the shots, can be disruptive if it’s too sudden, particularly with bosses, parents, or the public, but kept in check, can motivate you to do something special. Enjoy the courage you have now and open yourself up to possibilities. Embrace your desire to improve, advance, and excel. Keeping in mind that bigger isn’t always better and that your actions have more impact than usual, you can certainly push yourself more than you typically do for worthwhile pursuits.
Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn all turn retrograde from May 11 to 15. Venus is retrograde in the sign of Gemini from May 12 to June 25. Venus hangs around its square to Neptune in May. At the time of the inferior conjunction, retro Venus is square Mars in early June, and then a Lunar eclipse occurs in Sagittarius. Life can feel a bit like drudgery during this period. Errands and routines can be overwhelming, while errors need correcting, and tasks can weigh on you, perhaps losing quite a bit of the pleasure factor. You may return to past projects, encountering mistakes that need fixing and delays that keep you in limbo.
Mars is retrograde from September 9 to November 13 in the sign of Aries (pre-retrograde shadow begins July 25th). Slowdowns, reparations, and reconsiderations are important now, and they can relate to your health, personal presentation, and desires or approach to getting what you want. There can be weighty issues and delays to manage now. You may feel less effective before things get much better.
Mars square Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto from August to December. If you’ve been pushing ahead too quickly, a slowdown now may eventually get you back on course better equipped. You can be feeling an intense desire to press forward, but obstacles seem to appear as you do. A rule or a superior might be blocking you from going where you want to go. Try not to react with impatience, as it’s not going to support your cause. This is a time for review rather than action. Challenges from the career front are ongoing, often clashing with personal plans and interests, but you get the chance to resolve conflicts after confronting the issues.

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:
With such a strong focus on the sign of Capricorn in the year’s astrology, harmonious signs have a markedly easier year than signs that are naturally disharmonious with the sign, as you are, dear Aries. Aries and Capricorn are at loggerheads with one another, so there can be some clashes to manage in 2020. Even so, there is one thing they agree on, and that’s action since they’re both Cardinal signs. Their approach to taking action is markedly different, but they do believe in making things happen.
Saturn is transitioning out of disharmony with your sign this year, and while it takes many months and much of the year to do so, it’s pulling some of the intense pressure off. The green periods next to Saturn are supportive and far less pressured times.
While Chiron in your sign is certainly easier than it clashing with Aries, it remains a strong influence and can, at times, bring its own brand of pressures. However, it’s an influence that encourages healing, growing, improving, learning, and humbling yourself to the whole process. You’re learning to take much better care of yourself on all levels–body, mind, and spirit.
Saturn’s transition into Aquarius is a particularly welcome stabilizing influence for you, Aries! It’s also suggestive of a stronger support system, and this theme is on the increase, set to develop further in 2021.
**The following horoscopes reveal the outer planet, long-term trends for each decan. While Jupiter transits last just over a year, the remaining outer planet transits last several years (an average of 2-1/2 years for Saturn, 7 years for Uranus, and so forth). This is why you can see some of the same trends continuing from previous years.

2020: Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Until December 19th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar tenth house. Increased public recognition and professional success characterize this position. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Business-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle. Your worldly or public status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma, an important award, or marriage. You may come into the limelight. Authority figures or other influential people tend to look upon you favorably, see more potential in you, and readily help you along, so work it! Something might happen now, or circumstances are such, that your career (or professional interests in general) expands, and you find more joy and pleasure from your work. You could enjoy more freedom, or possibly even responsibilities, in your career. Integrity, directness, and honesty will get you everywhere now. The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards—this is not the time to be a shrinking violet! These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Your hard work and effort can be recognized now, and you could find yourself in a position that truly suits you. For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar tenth house from January 1-May 10, and from September 13-December 19.
From December 19th forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar eleventh house. During this longer-term cycle, this transit brings benefits and fresh energy to networking activities, the formulation of broad, long-term goals, acquaintances, clubs, and organizations in your life. You can rely on your friends for their help and support, and your circle of friends could most certainly increase during this fruitful transit. Your long-term goals and wishes tend to be broad and perhaps unusual or ahead of the times during this cycle. You may particularly enjoy dreaming up ideas for the future. Achieving your goals tends to come more readily. Others especially value your advice and often turn to you for help. You could become more active with friends or in your community. You may have opportunities to join or lead clubs or groups. Group activities and associations could be avenues for fulfilling your goals, and you may very effectively find your voice through them. You may take special joy in sharing a common cause or ideals with others. You are especially hopeful and more inclined to believe that if you wish it, it will be! Income from your business or career is likely to increase. You might be more tolerant of others in general and of differences in values. Reaching out beyond your personal circle can certainly open doors to you and bring joy into your life during this cycle. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Also, Jupiter can bring too much of a good thing at times, and you might find that your social agenda is crammed or that you have taken on more friends or goals than you can reasonably handle.
Jupiter transits sextile your Sun. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It's natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you really enjoy life, appreciating the good things and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.
Saturn transits your solar tenth house until March 21st, and then from July 1st to December 16th. It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for you, that was two years ago! This influence is winding down and coming to an end in 2020.
This cycle represents a time in your life in which you build a secure foundation in your professional or most public life. Your standing in society comes under Saturn's scrutiny. You have found yourself in the spotlight, and whatever you've been building is now under review or subject to inspection. This can be a time for receiving recognition and career "rewards." If this transit occurs in early adulthood, it can be a time when you truly begin to face your duties as a career person or take on more significant responsibilities. Although the tenth house is a house of ambition, you do not focus on where you are going as much as you focus on where you stand. Saturn's transit of the tenth house is an eye-opening one—a time when you are working hard, taking on your fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of your hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. You become aware of what you have--and haven't--accomplished to date. You are treated to a realistic look at what you've built and achieved. You no longer view your place in the world, your career, and your reputation with rose-colored glasses. It is what it is! This helps you make corrections or changes of course.
At times you may feel exposed, publicly scrutinized, or under fire in your career during this transit. If this discomfort is great, it may be that you have been holding onto a false image of yourself. The most acute period of this transit occurs with Saturn's square to your Sun, after which pressures ease considerably.
During this cycle, your career requires important decisions and choices. Important projects may come to fruition, and this can be a time for reaping their rewards, but there can be some disappointment now as well if you haven't achieved what you wanted to accomplish. You are indeed more accountable for your choices.
Projects that you've been working on behind the scenes or that you've left unfinished might come to fruition during this period, or you could be using them to further your career. You may need to employ some caution with regards to elements from your past, as these might come before the public eye in some way during this cycle.
You may acquire a higher position now, and you are likely to feel the weight of increased responsibilities that come with it. There can be issues to handle with a parent (more likely the father) or parent figure, or a boss/authority figure in your life.
There can be more recognition of the efforts you put forth, as well as increased motivation for tackling tasks that you previously felt were monotonous or uninteresting. This can be a fantastic career peak for some, more so for Ascendants than Suns.
Saturn transits your solar eleventh house from March 21st to July 1st and then from December 17th forward (until March 2023). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for you, that is this year and 2021. This influence is only just getting started. By mid-December this year, it’s consistently transiting this area of your solar chart until March 2023.
This can point to the strengthening of ties with a special friend or group. You are more selective about how you spend your time and with whom you spend your time. Some friendships built on weak foundations may be left behind.
As well, events or realizations during this period may have inspired you to question where it is that you are going in your life. Your long-term personal goals come under Saturn's scrutiny. How you fit in with others, your affiliations with people and groups, and your peers all become serious matters in your eyes. You may conclude that your personal "circle" or your networks are superficial or somehow unsatisfying at this point in your life. You might feel some disdain for the superficial workings of casual friendships, beginning to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about "going through the motions," doing and saying the right things, and so forth. Alternatively, you might meet someone with whom you establish a serious friendship, or you might become a member of a group or affiliation to which you devote much of your time.
Weeding out what seems now to be superfluous social associations from your life is very likely at this time as you become more serious about what you want, on a personal level, from your life. You take a hard look at the role you play in others' lives, and you consider exactly what it is that satisfies you and contributes to your happiness, beyond marriage, romance, career, religion, and so forth. At some point through this journey, you should begin to find ways to bring definition and articulation to your innermost wishes and hopes for your personal path. A more solid sense of belonging might be experienced now. You know on whom you can rely, and they know they can rely on you!
You might gain increased responsibilities when it comes to a friend or group affiliation. Some of you could experience a leaner but also more conscientious period for income from a business. Some might take on responsibility for a partner's children. You might decide to contribute to your community in significant, tangible, and practical ways during this transit. There can be nice opportunities to make long-lasting connections. You can have more influence in a group, possibly quite naturally taking the lead. Its a time for making solid plans for your future.
Uranus continues to transit your solar second house all year
Uranus transits your solar second house this year. This transit can bring about changes to your value system. Some of you are moving towards a less materialistic value system, and others may be encountering unexpected circumstances that bring about a fluctuating or uncertain income. There may be a trend towards Uranus-ruled areas as the primary source of income in your life, such as through new technologies, science, computers, the Internet, or metaphysics, but this can also point to sideline businesses and income. You are also inclined to take a few more risks with your finances, or unusual ways of making money could be in place during this cycle. The best advice for increasing your earning power now is to nurture your latent inventive or progressive, future-oriented talents. Until then, you could be battling some unpredictability or fluctuations in these areas.
Indeed, your attitude towards money or personal possessions is evolving during this long-term cycle. There can be an element of the unexpected or avant-garde that colors your financial picture. There may be new situations developing that are exciting but perhaps a little disruptive with business, work, sexual relationships, or finances.
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar twelfth house this year.
This is a mostly pleasant placement for this mysterious and elusive planet. You're likely to find some joy and reward through some forms of solitude. Dreams are rich and involved. You are paying special attention to synchronicities, signs, symbols, and omens in your life. You're building your faith in all that is "unseen." You may be developing your psychic powers during this long-term transit.
The acute elements of this influence are behind you.Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar tenth house this year. The acute elements of this transit are long behind you. This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes to your career or long-term goals. Ambition is rather intense during this phase! In fact, there can be times when it seems to take over your life. The need to find deep significance with regards to your social standing or professional life becomes apparent. Some of you might attract negative attention from superiors or from others in your field who are jealous of, threatened by, or finding fault in the work you do. However, any trials and tests that could be stimulated now will push you onto the right path and challenge you to become stronger and more confident in your own abilities. On the other hand, this can be a powerful time of influence in your career. Some of you may be changing jobs or long-term professional goals. Some might continue along the same career path but alter their goals and duties since Pluto acts to reform and transform. Others might discover a deep inner need to grow and develop their existing careers or businesses, uncovering ambitions that they never knew they had! Fears of underperforming can come to the fore under this influence, and it's time to find ways to eradicate them. Expectations transform now. Intensity and passion are craved, and mediocre simply will not do! Try to guard against Pluto downfalls such as paranoia, extreme pressure, and controlling or manipulative behaviors. Find ways to detox and destress.
All of 2020, Chiron is conjunct your Sun or Ascendant. Chiron conjunct your Sun (or Ascendant) is a healing influence. Others look upon you with more respect, tolerance, and acceptance. You don’t feel the need to prove yourself, and that feels good. You have the chance to shine, largely because you are projecting yourself with self-respect and modesty at once. You are especially appealing and charming during this transit just by being yourself. Opportunities–both personal and professional–are likely to present themselves as a result. You are not looking for credit for what you do, which frees you up to get it anyhow! New friendships are likely to emerge this year–supportive ones. As Chiron illuminates the wounds you have accumulated over the years with regards to your self-esteem, this may not be the most comfortable of transits at the outset, but you are given the chance to work on these issues and find ways to heal them. Openness to the process is crucial. You'll be learning to love yourself, your body, and your style.
Until May 5th, the North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar fourth house, and some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your private life, home, and family. You need to let go of your tendency to over-manage your life and others' lives, to relax your standards of perfection and achievement, and to avoid falling victim to living through the eyes of society instead of valuing our own personal (as opposed to professional/status) achievements. By working on your inner foundation and your "base", success will ricochet back to your public and professional lives. And, of course, your domestic world is sure to improve by leaps and bounds.
From May 5th onward, the North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar third house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through learning, communications, and connecting. You need to learn to listen to others so that you discover the value of true communication and exchange and to see both sides of a situation. Learning to slow down, to be sensitive to social graces and networks, and to sensitize yourself to others' needs and communications, will release you from nervous tension and help you achieve more happiness and inner balance.

Aries (Born April 1 to 10) – 10 to 20 degrees Aries (2ND DECAN):
2020: Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
This year, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar tenth house. During this cycle, increased public recognition and professional success are very possible. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Business-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle. Your worldly or public status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma, an important award, or marriage. This can be a time for coming into the limelight in a significant way. Authority figures or other influential people tend to look upon you favorably, see more potential in you, and readily help you along, so work it! Something might happen now, or circumstances are such, that your career (or professional interests in general) expands, and you find more joy and pleasure from your work. You could enjoy more freedom, or possibly even responsibilities, in your career. Integrity, directness, and honesty will get you everywhere now. The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards--this is not the time to be a shrinking violet! These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Your hard work and effort can be recognized now, and you could find yourself in a position that truly suits you, and this can be especially true for your talents, reliability, and practical insight. For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now. You can take great pride in the work you do. This is a time when believing in yourself, your competency, and your ability to take the lead opens up opportunities to you. It's a powerful period for innovation and progress.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar tenth house, from January 1-May 10, and from September 13th forward.
Saturn transits your solar tenth house (until March 2021). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that was last year! You are now taking this transit increasingly in stride as you get more comfortable with this energy. Saturn is no longer square your Sun.
This cycle represents a time in your life in which you build a secure foundation in your professional or most public life. Your standing in society comes under Saturn's scrutiny. You have found yourself in the spotlight, and whatever you've been building is now under review or subject to inspection. This can be a time for receiving recognition and career "rewards." If this transit occurs in early adulthood, it can be a time when you truly begin to face your duties as a career person or take on more significant responsibilities. Although the tenth house is a house of ambition, you do not focus on where you are going as much as you focus on where you stand. Saturn's transit of the tenth house is an eye-opening one—a time when you are working hard, taking on your fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of your hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. You become aware of what you have--and haven't--accomplished to date. You are treated to a realistic look at what you've built and achieved. You no longer view your place in the world, your career, and your reputation with rose-colored glasses. It is what it is! This helps you make corrections or changes of course.
At times you may feel exposed, publicly scrutinized, or under fire in your career during this transit. If this discomfort is great, it may be that you have been holding onto a false image of yourself. The most acute period of this transit occurs with Saturn's square to your Sun, after which pressures ease considerably.
During this cycle, your career requires important decisions and choices. Important projects may come to fruition, and this can be a time for reaping their rewards, but there can be some disappointment now as well if you haven't achieved what you wanted to accomplish. You are indeed more accountable for your choices.
Projects that you've been working on behind the scenes or that you've left unfinished might come to fruition during this period, or you could be using them to further your career. You may need to employ some caution with regards to elements from your past, as these might come before the public eye in some way during this cycle.
You may acquire a higher position now, and you are likely to feel the weight of increased responsibilities that come with it. There can be issues to handle with a parent (more likely the father) or parent figure, or a boss/authority figure in your life.
There can be more recognition of the efforts you put forth, as well as increased motivation for tackling tasks that you previously felt were monotonous or uninteresting. This can be a fantastic career peak for some, more so for Ascendants than Suns.
Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar first house this year.
Uranus is the Awakener, and often "awakens" your consciousness to areas of your life that it touches in disruptive, exciting, or surprising ways. This is about your personality, image, body awareness, and manner. As such, there may be unexpected events that free you from confining situations or past conditioning patterns. You are more inspired this year, and your personality fairly bubbles with bursts of enthusiasm. Impulsiveness is something to watch out for, however. Your need for freedom can be so strong that you leave cherished things (or people!) behind. Alienating those close to you may occur now if you're not careful. At the very least, people around you are surprised by your more rebellious and risk-taking nature. While you shouldn't resist change now, you should avoid entirely impulsive behavior. With Uranus, remember to act rather than react. While rebellion is sometimes necessary, eventually you'll want to feel truly free to be yourself.
Changes with the image you project to others, and perhaps your personal style and appearance, take place during this period. For some, they can be radical. You might go through a series of personal makeovers. You are breaking free from the expectations of others now, not only or even with your style or look, but also with your personality. Your behavior tends to be more spontaneous or obviously independent. Freedom of personal expression is immensely important to you now, and if you turn a few heads or raise some eyebrows in the pursuit thereof, you don't particularly worry about it! This can be an especially eventful period of your life when you make big changes, especially to areas of your life that have become too routine or that are lifeless and no longer truly represent you.
While Uranus has moved on to the sign of Taurus which is related to your solar second house, Uranus only very briefly reaches the degrees of your decan this year, and will only dip in more consistently in your second house in 2021-2022.
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar twelfth house. This is a mostly pleasant placement for this mysterious and elusive planet. You're likely to find some joy and reward through some forms of solitude. Dreams are rich and involved. You are paying special attention to synchronicities, signs, symbols, and omens in your life. You're building your faith in all that is "unseen." You may be developing your psychic powers during this long-term transit.
Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar tenth house this year.
This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes to your career or long-term goals. Ambition is rather intense during this phase! In fact, there can be times when it seems to take over your life. The need to find deep significance with regards to your social standing or professional life becomes apparent.
Some of you might attract negative attention from superiors or from others in your field who are jealous of, threatened by, or finding fault in the work you do. However, any trials and tests that could be stimulated now will push you onto the right path and challenge you to become stronger and more confident in your own abilities. On the other hand, this can be a powerful time of influence in your career. Some of you may be changing jobs or long-term professional goals. Some might continue along the same career path but alter their goals and duties since Pluto acts to reform and transform. Others might discover a deep inner need to grow and develop their existing careers or businesses, uncovering ambitions that they never knew they had!
Fears of underperforming can come to the fore under this influence, and it's time to find ways to eradicate them. Expectations transform now. Intensity and passion are craved, and mediocre simply will not do! Try to guard against Pluto downfalls such as paranoia, extreme pressure, and controlling or manipulative behaviors. Find ways to detox and destress.
The acute elements of this Pluto transit are behind you in 2020.
This year, the North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar third house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through learning, communications, and connecting. You need to learn to listen to others so that you discover the value of true communication and exchange and to see both sides of a situation. Learning to slow down, to be sensitive to social graces and networks, and to sensitize yourself to others' needs and communications, will release you from nervous tension and help you achieve more happiness and inner balance.

Aries (Born April 11 to 20) – 20 to 30 degrees Aries (3rd DECAN):
2020: Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
From March forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar tenth house. During this cycle, increased public recognition and professional success are very possible. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Business-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle. Your worldly or public status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma, an important award, or marriage. This can be a time for coming into the limelight in a significant way. Authority figures or other influential people tend to look upon you favorably, see more potential in you, and readily help you along, so work it! Something might happen now, or circumstances are such, that your career (or professional interests in general) expands, and you find more joy and pleasure from your work. You could enjoy more freedom, or possibly even responsibilities, in your career. Integrity, directness, and honesty will get you everywhere now. The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards--this is not the time to be a shrinking violet! These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Your hard work and effort can be recognized now, and you could find yourself in a position that truly suits you, and this can be especially true for your talents, reliability, and practical insight. For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now. You can take great pride in the work you do. This is a time when believing in yourself, your competency, and your ability to take the lead opens up opportunities to you. It's a powerful period for innovation and progress.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar tenth house, from March 3-May 10, and from September 13-forward.
Saturn transits your solar tenth house this year. This transit will run until 2022 for your decan.
This cycle represents a time in your life in which you build a secure foundation in your professional or most public life. Your standing in society comes under Saturn's scrutiny. You have found yourself in the spotlight, and whatever you've been building is now under review or subject to inspection. This can be a time for receiving recognition and career "rewards." If this transit occurs in early adulthood, it can be a time when you truly begin to face your duties as a career person or take on more significant responsibilities. Although the tenth house is a house of ambition, you do not focus on where you are going as much as you focus on where you stand.

The more intense or acute elements of this transit are happening for you this year, after which you grow more accustomed to the energy.
Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar first house. Uranus is the Awakener, and often "awakens" your consciousness to areas of your life that it touches in disruptive, exciting, or surprising ways. This is about your personality, image, body awareness, and manner. As such, there may be unexpected events that free you from confining situations or past conditioning patterns.

This can be an especially eventful period of your life when you make big changes, especially to areas of your life that have become too routine or that are lifeless and no longer truly represent you.
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar eleventh house this year, as it has been doing for a number of years.
Neptune here can cast some "fog" over--and add some color and imagination to--your social life. You could face the need to draw some boundaries with friends and the demands of others. It's possible that your loyalty to certain groups or friends may have been misplaced, for example. You might experience a subtle yearning to belong with a friend or a group who/that shares your own ideals. This can lead you to attach yourself to unusual, more spiritual, or downright wacky friends...colorful ones, at the very least!
However, for those born with the Sun or Ascendant at 20 to 21 degrees Aries will see the very beginnings of Neptune’s transit to the solar twelfth house this year:
This is a mostly pleasant placement for this mysterious and elusive planet. You're likely to find some joy and reward through some forms of solitude. Dreams are rich and involved. You are paying special attention to synchronicities, signs, symbols, and omens in your life. You're building your faith in all that is "unseen." You may be developing your psychic powers during this long-term transit.
Pluto begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar tenth house this year for those born approximately April 11 to 16 or from 20 to 25 degrees Aries.
This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes to your career or long-term goals. Ambition is rather intense during this phase! In fact, there can be times when it seems to take over your life. The need to find deep significance with regards to your social standing or professional life becomes apparent.
Some of you might attract negative attention from superiors or from others in your field who are jealous of, threatened by, or finding fault in the work you do. However, any trials and tests that could be stimulated now will push you onto the right path and challenge you to become stronger and more confident in your own abilities. On the other hand, this can be a powerful time of influence in your career. Some of you may be changing jobs or long-term professional goals. Some might continue along the same career path but alter their goals and duties since Pluto acts to reform and transform. Others might discover a deep inner need to grow and develop their existing careers or businesses, uncovering ambitions that they never knew they had!
Fears of underperforming can come to the fore under this influence, and it's time to find ways to eradicate them. Expectations transform now. Intensity and passion are craved, and mediocre simply will not do! Try to guard against Pluto downfalls such as paranoia, extreme pressure, and controlling or manipulative behaviors. Find ways to detox and destress.
Pluto continues its lengthy transit through your solar ninth house this year for those born April 17th forward and at 26-30 degrees Aries. This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes to your belief system. It can have the effect of gradually transforming your belief system and general outlook on life. Some of the beliefs that have carried you to date may seem outdated or superficial, and events and circumstances in your life prompt you to adopt new beliefs and visions or to alter those you've had in the past. Expectations transform again this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do. You may meet people, go places, or learn new things that change your way of thinking during this interesting transit. You’ve been going through this process for many years now.
This year, the North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar third house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through learning, communications, and connecting. You need to learn to listen to others so that you discover the value of true communication and exchange and to see both sides of a situation. Learning to slow down, to be sensitive to social graces and networks, and to sensitize yourself to others' needs and communications, will release you from nervous tension and help you achieve more happiness and inner balance.
