2020: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Libra (All):
Note: The summary of the year resides here; the details are below.
The year 2020 brings fantastic renovations to your personal life, home, and domestic or emotional world, dear Libra. It’s a powerful time for making changes that improve your living conditions, self-esteem, and comfort levels. You’re finding more joy in bringing order to your home life this year, and you’re determined to make things better!
While you’re doing your personal and domestic life differently–and it’s a considerable focus–you’re also challenged to branch out and expand your horizons. This might happen through contact with people from an entirely different background than yours, travel, or higher learning.
First, your ruler, Venus, spends extra time in this area of your solar chart (from April to August), and you’ll be questioning whether your current lifestyle is fulfilling you. Next, the North Node moves into this area for an 18-month stay. You receive a nudge towards adopting beliefs that genuinely reflect the current “you,” and you’re learning about your need for self-expression through adventure–or non-routine activities and experiences.
You’re finding your voice, and you’re more interested in new ways of enjoying and expressing yourself in 2020. There may also be some drama surrounding communication, modes of transportation, mobility, neighbors, or siblings this year and the next. Different channels for communicating and methods of commuting can result, and they may include new publishing avenues, communication equipment, a new set of wheels, or other such facilitators.
You may not be quite so attentive with your health, diet, regimes, and work, which can be the source of guilt or worries at times. It can be all too easy to overlook or gloss over some of these things this year. It may benefit you to pay a little more attention to structures and routines in your life. As well, there can be issues with shared resources or sharing in close relationships, whether it’s about intimacy or money. Keeping a close eye on these matters can help you greatly.
There has been heavy energy in your solar fourth house in recent years. It’s best to watch that you’re not so attached to your own agenda that power struggles result from this tight-hold. Helping you this year is Jupiter as it transits your home sector, motivating you to improve your personal life. You might discover and embrace a deep-seated ambition that you didn’t know you had as it relates to your domestic world.
This is an excellent year for you to get in touch with yourself–what you truly want from life, what childhood conditioning issues are damaging you or holding you back, and just how much power and strength you possess. Help friends understand that you’re often self-absorbed these days for good reason. They’ll see you emerge a brand new, largely more confident person before year’s end.
As the year progresses, you’re reaching a turning point with recreation, romance, and pleasure. You’re coming out of your shell and ready to share yourself with the world. New adventures, whether on the physical or mental plane, await. You may very well monetize a hobby. But first, getting organized and prepared makes the most sense. A solid relationship or project can result.
Mars has an extended stay in your partnership sector in the second half of 2020, exciting a close relationship, but also bringing up areas of tension. It’s time to deal with issues that have been keeping a relationship stagnating. If someone keeps overruling you, now is the time to correct things.
You’re in fabulous shape for a special trip, course, or adventure this year, and it comes at just the right moment–after you’ve spent a lot of time in your safe space. It can be most welcome to move outside your comfort zone just a little in 2020.
Key Events in 2020 for Libra:
Outer Planet Transits:
Saturn conjunct Pluto in January. This aspect can bring pressure 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 in your home and family sector, you can feel pressure to pull something apart in order to rebuild it from the ground up, and it can relate to your personal life, support system, foundation, home, or family. It’s a time for identifying areas that are no longer structurally sound and then making a commitment to make changes. Emotionally, you’re learning about self-reliance and inner power.
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.
Libras are in great shape for improving their daily routines and home situation so that work and health benefit. You can be improving relationships with family and co-workers through increased understanding. With so much happening under the hood, you need this subtle boost. It’s an uplifting transit that suggests a new way of looking at your work, services, and health can benefit you greatly.
While this year is about hard work and determination in many ways, this transit helps you find moments to detox, relax, and enjoy yourself. It also reminds you of the value of feeding your spirit and imagination alongside your more worldly pursuits. It’s a time of increased personal meaning and purpose, particularly through your job, self-care programs, and family initiatives. You might also feel more valued and valuable in the work you do, and inspired to take better care of yourself.
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.
We want to take something to a completely new level. Whichever way 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, Libra, you’re striving toward an improved emotional foundation, home life, and domestic world. It’s a time when beneficial, powerful, and long-term renovations occur on either physical or emotional planes (often, both). You are determined to make improvements that go deep in your home, family, and personal life. It’s an excellent period for purging, emotional renewal, and starting fresh. It’s also a powerful time for a new home or the beginning of a major long-term initiative or business–something that supports you for years to come.
This booster influence increases your ambition to make serious and long-lasting improvements to your domestic and personal life, and it all starts on the inside.
Jupiter conjunct Saturn in December. This transit brings you much power to start fresh regarding your leisure activities or romantic life. It’s a time for taking a realistic look at what you can do, assessing and surveying things, and then pursuing what you feel is your due. You may be making a happy commitment to a project or to improving your life. It’s a wonderful time to monetize or solidify a hobby.
This can be a productive time when hunkering down or committing can be joyful. You may be solidifying a relationship, combining the responsible and more romantic elements of your interactions very successfully at this time. In some ways, your creative or romantic life or recreational pursuits are expanding and developing, but that in other ways, there are restrictions, more discipline, and simplification. For some, one project or relationship ends while another one begins, and this time around, it’s more serious and focused.
Significant minor transits:
Mars conjunct Jupiter/Pluto and then Venus trine Jupiter/Pluto in the second half of March. This can be an opportunity period for partnerships, one-to-one relationships, intimacy, family, money, and home life. It’s an excellent period for improving your emotional life.
You may be filled with enthusiasm and motivation regarding a home, family, or personal matter. Strong feelings drive you into action. You might pioneer a new venture or make moves towards growing, building, or expanding a current one. Home, security, and family can be big motivators now.
You’re filling up with courage and stronger resolve, and this can very well get you over a major emotional hurdle. A major new long-term project, as well as projects involving home development and family activities, can get a push forward. Creative improvements might be made to the physical home as well as to family life. Plans and initiatives for having fun and making your accommodations more livable can be in place now.
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 and hangs around its square to Neptune in May. At the time of the inferior conjunction in early June, retro-Venus is square Mars and then a Lunar eclipse occurs in Sagittarius.
For you, Libra, the pleasure factor in your life regarding current interests, ideas, studies, and adventure in your life comes in question. It’s a time for discovering what you truly want and need, and there can be some unrest until you see the light.
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 in your relationships, particularly partnerships. There can be weighty issues and delays to manage related to a close connection, legal contract, or negotiation.
You have the chance to reassess how you’ve been dealing with others, and you may be finding new and improved ways of connecting. Taking things slowly is most beneficial.
Mars is square Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto from August to December. Challenges between personal space or family and partnerships can be ongoing now, but you get the chance to resolve conflicts after confronting the issues.
New and Full Moons/Eclipses:

Every year, we see challenges and opportunities in different areas. It’s my hope that understanding these areas of potential disruption and ease that you can make the most of these trends by seeking out the opportunities and managing the challenges.
The following chart shows the outer planets and other points in relation to your sign, revealing whether they are harmonizing (green) with or challenging (pink) Libra:

Grey is neutral (no direct relationship, but can be picky, nagging),
Pink is challenging (the planet is in direct, challenging relationship to your sign),
and Green is easy and supportive (the planet or point is in a direct, harmonious relationship with your sign).

It’s clear from the table above that there are more challenges than neutral and harmonious influences in 2020. This can be a year of working harder in various areas of life, but you are setting the groundwork for wonderful improvements in the years ahead.
Saturn is moving into harmony with your sign this year, although it’s a gradual process. By 2021, it will be consistently in harmony and supportive aspect to your sign–a stabilizing influence.

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:
In years when the outer planets are challenging us more than supporting or overlooking us, as is the case for you in 2020, it’s important to avoid stress. Of course, knowing that these planets are in disharmony with your sign can put you on the defensive!
However, it’s always wise to consider that horoscopes can’t and won’t predict tragedy–they only show which energies are challenging you to make changes and which are encouraging you to reap the rewards of previous challenges.
So, if for example, Saturn or Pluto is square your Sun or Ascendant, it shouldn’t lead you to the conclusion that something awful will happen to you. Instead, it’s a period when you see the flaws, inconsistencies, and problem areas more clearly. If, for example, you’ve not gone to the dentist for a while for whatever reason, there will likely be a time when a problem tooth will demand you do. This is that time, metaphorically speaking!
The interesting part is that you’ve been pressured by Saturn and Pluto for years, and while there’s more to this story in 2020, you now have Jupiter helping you out, driving you to make improvements, and making it not only easier but more enjoyable to do so.
Areas of change–besides the home life emphasis discussed above–seem to be shared resources, debts, support, and intimacy. You’re less attached to things in these areas, and this changes your approach to them completely. You’re doing money, dependencies, attachments, jealousy, and even sex differently with Uranus in your solar eighth house again this year.
This is a powerful year for inner development, home life, family relationships, and foundations or feelings of security and safety. Your confidence grows. Go big in these areas, but know your limits!

2020: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Until December 19th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar fourth house, and you are likely to see benefits to home, family, property, and domestic comfort matters. Much joy and pleasure can be found in your family connections and experiences and/or your home life during this cycle. An increased sense of security and safety may be derived from your domestic life. Improvements to your home life, family, and basic psychological foundation are in focus. You might find that inner and personal experiences are more important to you than more worldly ones during this cycle. Opportunities to buy or sell real estate for financial gain may present themselves. Home improvements and renovations are favored, as is moving to a new dwelling (more spacious or larger homes are likely now). Some of you may buy or sell a house, and others may welcome a new addition to the family. You may move to a larger or more comfortable home; or you might enhance your existing home in such a way that makes you feel happier, perhaps by de-cluttering your space. Long-standing family problems may be ironed out. Relationships with parents and other family members go well. You may find special enjoyment through getting in touch with, or researching, your roots or family traditions. There could be a family reunion (if advisable), vacation, or another event that gives you a stronger sense of connection to your family. The family may help you financially or an inheritance is possible for some of you. You take more pleasure in nurturing others. A stronger sense of psychological well-being may come now, as you take less interest in more worldly ambitions and activities. 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.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fourth house from January 1-May 13, and from September 13-December 19.
From December 19th forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is transiting your solar fifth house. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits and experience growth in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store. Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun. For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else's creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby. Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward. Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth. You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For those of you who are single, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it's more likely to be a casual relationship than a committed partnership. Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence in speculative investments. Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you've always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy single life, and so forth. Those with artistic or athletic talent can be especially successful and prosperous at this time. Your creativity and social life are stimulated this year, and plenty of opportunities to express yourself uniquely and creatively are likely to present themselves. You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around! 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. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of a good thing, and it's always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments. However, for the most part, you are likely to feel supported and confident during this approximately year-long cycle. This is a time for trying new things, beginning new ventures, and sticking your neck out. Creativity finds a successful channel or outlet.
Saturn transits your solar fourth 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.
Saturn here urges you to get serious about home, family, and domestic concerns. You are building your nest, not in a "plumping your nest" sort of way. In fact, you may be stripping some things away - perhaps even downsizing or de-cluttering - and adding structure to your domestic life. This can benefit you greatly in the long run!
During this transit, you're likely to face issues surrounding your attachments to the past. Sometimes this manifests as literal re-organization of your home. Moving house is not typically associated with this transit as it would if, for example, Uranus was the transiting planet. If moves are made, you might encounter some resistance in yourself or the move might be a source of stress and worry; or you may be downsizing.
This may not be a time when you feel particularly brave in the outer world. However, reorganization in your home, and more importantly, in your soul/personal life, embodies the true nature of this transit. Many will go through a major "spring cleaning" inside. Limitations that came from early family conditioning will be brought to the fore. At first, there may be some frustration with your life to date, and how you may have limited your opportunities because of early conditioning. A feeling of being alone and unsupported in life may dominate at times now. Some may experience some distancing or frustrations regarding your parents. Family obligations may seem to get in the way of your experience of pleasure and of the achievement of your personal goals. There may be some emotional distancing as well in your home environment. Your current living conditions may feel restrictive, limiting, too small or cramped (physically and/or emotionally). Delays and slowdowns may be experienced in the areas of health, mobility, and career.
However, all of these things occur so that you start work on making improvements and in order that you face your responsibilities, become more self-sufficient, and more organized. Ultimately, you are learning to rely on yourself and to take care of things that you may have previously neglected but that have undermined your confidence in yourself and in your life! Working from home is a strong possibility during this period. Bringing more structure and discipline to your domestic life may be in order, and is likely to work very well in your favor. By the end of this transit, your home is likely to be in tip-top shape and family life should be more organized.
Saturn transits your solar fifth house from March 21st to July 1st and then from December 17th forward (until March 2023) for many of you. It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for you, that is this year and next. This influence is only just getting started. By mid-December this year, Saturn is consistently transiting this area of your solar chart until March 2023.
Saturn's influence is rather somber and serious, but also responsible and practical. You are getting serious about fifth house matters: romance, relationships with children, your creativity, and pleasure. Serious about pleasure? Yes, indeed! While you may not spend a whole lot of time living it up at parties, bars, or entertainment venues, you are likely to take your hobbies more seriously. In fact, this is an excellent period for monetizing any personal hobby - turning it into a business, even if it's a sideline one. Bringing more structure to your play time or to a creative talent can also figure strongly now.
If you have children, they may need more discipline or structure than they previously did at this stage. Some of you may be welcoming children into your life and discovering all of the responsibilities that come along with it. Others who already have children may find that they're at an age that requires more attention and discipline, or structure.
In the romance department, Saturn's influence can go either way. For some, romance may feel lacking or a romantic relationship could be more practical than fun. Tests or pressures on an existing romance could figure now. Casual relationships and dating may be nonexistent, or lean. For those of you who have recently entered a romance, you are beginning to look at it more seriously and critically. For others, a romantic relationship stabilizes and becomes more serious. Some of you will meet a new romantic interest who is perhaps older or mature, thus "meeting Saturn" through a person.
Those of you who are dating might feel some loneliness, as it can be hard to find what you are looking for at this time. An existing romance may be tested but strong ones strengthen further. A romantic partner could feel like a "heavy" at this time, or you might feel restricted in terms of making acquaintances and enjoying other people's company. In other words, there is somewhat heavy energy surrounding fifth house matters. For those single and looking, be careful that you don't project a negative attitude without even realizing it, as this can intimidate some.
Creatively speaking, you are a little more serious in your approach. You might be turning a hobby into a business now, or you might find that there is less time for creative hobbies, pastimes, amusements, and entertainment. Your work can require more show, drama, creativity, and entertainment value, and may be a hobby-turned-business. Romance and work can be tied together in some significant way. Some of you could be working hard on, and putting a lot of effort into, creative hobbies or pastimes.
Saturn trines your Sun this year, and this helps you to better focus on your goals. This transit is a stabilizing one–others know they can rely on you, and you on them! Your vision is all the more realistic now, and pleasingly so. You work steadily and determinedly towards your goals. Authority figures and elders tend to look favorably upon you. This aspect goes a long way toward steadying and balancing your life. This is a wonderful time for self-discipline.
Uranus continues or begins its transit of your solar eighth house this year.
There could be some ambiguities or unexpected happenings surrounding non-income sources of money during this long-term transit. This includes such things as shared resources with a close partner, alimony, taxes, loans, and so forth. At times, this unpredictability could throw you off balance. This position might also indicate a period of uncertainty surrounding your intimate relationships, and/or some experimentation with your sexuality.
You will be learning a lesson in detachment during this cycle - sudden changes in the support you receive from others can force you to become more independent financially, for example. Prepare yourself for fluctuations by settling as many debts as you can. Watch for gambling or risk-taking with money (and a partner who may be doing same).
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar sixth house this year.
Neptune here may cast some "fog" over your working life, health, and habits. You are more susceptible to medications, chemicals, and other such things during this long-term cycle, so keep this in mind. Stress more easily affects your health. Some confusion on the job may be part of the picture, or your job may be steering toward compassionate service, charity, or other helping professions. Neptune's presence here makes it rather challenging to stick to regular schedules and routines. There can be some level of disarray in your daily life at this time. Watch closely for carelessness or neglect when it comes to your health. Your motivations or attitudes toward work can gradually change during this transit.
The acute elements of this influence are behind you.Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar fourth house this year. The acute elements of this transit are long behind you. This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes in your home or family life and your psyche. Your needs for nurture transform and evolve. Pluto transiting your solar fourth house is a very long-term transit that gradually brings changes to the basic domestic structure. Your connections to family members can evolve on a fundamental level, especially in terms of responsibilities, support, or roles. There can be a retreat into yourself during this cycle as you explore, on a very deep level, your roots, childhood conditioning, and feelings of personal security. If you have been feeling somewhat of a victim in your family relationships, for example, then this will be a time when you feel it more acutely and feel the need to do something about it. Buried resentments come to the fore and demand to be handled. Avoid focusing on regrets or dead-end situations, as the tendency to obsess over things that can't or shouldn't be changed runs very high. By the time this transit ends, however, you are more equipped than ever to go after exactly what it is that you want in life. Superficial areas of your life will be removed or transformed, and you are freer to express your authentic self.
Until May 5th, the North Node transits your solar tenth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your career and public life. This is a time for putting yourself out there and for meeting your responsibilities.
From May 5th onward, the North Node transits your solar ninth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in.

2020: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
This year, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar fourth house. During this longer-term cycle, you are likely to see benefits to home, family, property, and domestic comfort matters. Much joy and pleasure can be found in your family connections and experiences and/or your home life during this cycle. An increased sense of security and safety may be derived from your domestic life. Improvements to your home life, family, and basic psychological foundation are in focus. You might find that inner and personal experiences are more important to you than more worldly ones during this cycle. Opportunities to buy or sell real estate for financial gain may present themselves. Home improvements and renovations are favored, as is moving to a new dwelling (more spacious or larger homes are likely now). Some of you may buy or sell a house, and others may welcome a new addition to the family. You may move to a larger or more comfortable home; or you might enhance your existing home in such a way that makes you feel happier, perhaps by de-cluttering your space. Long-standing family problems may be ironed out. Relationships with parents and other family members go well. You may find special enjoyment through getting in touch with, or researching, your roots or family traditions. There could be a family reunion (if appropriate), vacation, or another event that gives you a stronger sense of connection to your family. The family may help you financially or an inheritance is possible for some of you. You take more pleasure in nurturing others. A stronger sense of psychological well-being may come now, as you take less interest in more worldly ambitions and activities. 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.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fourth house, from January 1-May 13, and from September 13th forward.
Saturn transits your solar fourth 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 here urges you to get serious about home, family, and domestic concerns. You are building your nest, not in a "plumping your nest" sort of way. In fact, you may be stripping some things away - perhaps even downsizing or de-cluttering - and adding structure to your domestic life. This can benefit you greatly in the long run!

Moving house is not typically associated with this transit as it would if, for example, Uranus was the transiting planet. If moves are made, you might encounter some resistance in yourself or the move might be a source of stress and worry; or you may be downsizing.

By the end of this transit, your home is likely to be in tip-top shape and family life should be more organized.
Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar seventh house this year.
With its long-term transit of your partnership sector, Uranus has a way of shaking up close relationships or you may receive a shake-down of sorts related to how you view others and partnerships. Some of you can feel that it's hard to truly rely on a partner or a partnership. Lifeless or outworn relationships may become harder to bear. Some trial and error in relationships is par for the course with Uranus in this sector of your chart. People in your life may be surprised at your displays of independence. You don't care for taking orders, and any attempts to limit you are likely to be met with great resistance or downright rebelliousness on your part.
There can be some relationship tension as you explore ways to break free from restriction. Some of you could experience erratic or rebellious behavior in a close partner, and this could have you on your toes, wondering what's next. Sometimes this transit relates to periods when sudden relationship changes occur, whether it's a sudden move out of or into a partnership. You may be attracting someone who is unusual, different, or who is entirely not your usual "type." In fact, this is a powerful time for breaking out of limiting relating patterns and starting fresh. Your relationships require new or fewer "rules" now.
While Uranus is transiting the sign of Taurus which is the sign on your solar eighth house, Uranus very briefly reaches the degrees of your decan this year, and will only dip into your solar eighth house more consistently in 2021-2022.
Only those born on October 4-5 and those with a 10-11 degree Libra Ascendant will experience the Uranus transit to the eighth in 2020. (For the rest of you, this transit will happen in 2021 or 2022.) For these few:
There could be some ambiguities or unexpected happenings surrounding non-income sources of money during this long-term transit. This includes such things as shared resources with a close partner, alimony, taxes, loans, and so forth. At times, this unpredictability could throw you off balance. This position might also indicate a period of uncertainty surrounding your intimate relationships, and/or some experimentation with your sexuality.
You will be learning a lesson in detachment during this cycle - sudden changes in the support you receive from others can force you to become more independent financially, for example. Prepare yourself for fluctuations by settling as many debts as you can. Watch for gambling or risk-taking with money (and a partner who may be doing same).
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar sixth house. Neptune here may cast some "fog" over your working life, health, and habits. You are more susceptible to medications, chemicals, and other such things during this long-term cycle, so keep this in mind. Stress more easily affects your health. Some confusion on the job may be part of the picture, or your job may be steering toward compassionate service, charity, or other helping professions. Neptune's presence here makes it rather challenging to stick to regular schedules and routines. There can be some level of disarray in your daily life at this time. Watch closely for carelessness or neglect when it comes to your health. Your motivations or attitudes toward work can gradually change during this transit.
Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar fourth house this year.
This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes in your home or family life and your psyche. Your needs for nurture transform and evolve. Pluto transiting your solar fourth house is a very long-term transit that gradually brings changes to the basic domestic structure. Your connections to family members can evolve on a fundamental level, especially in terms of responsibilities, support, or roles.
There can be a retreat into yourself during this cycle as you explore, on a very deep level, your roots, childhood conditioning, and feelings of personal security. If you have been feeling somewhat of a victim in your family relationships, for example, then this will be a time when you feel it more acutely and feel the need to do something about it. Buried resentments come to the fore and demand to be handled. Avoid focusing on regrets or dead-end situations, as the tendency to obsess over things that can't or shouldn't be changed runs very high. By the time this transit ends, however, you are more equipped than ever to go after exactly what it is that you want in life. Superficial areas of your life will be removed or transformed, and you are freer to express your authentic self.
The acute elements of this Pluto transit are behind you in 2020.
This year, the North Node transits your solar ninth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in.

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) – 20 to 30 degrees Libra (3rd DECAN):
2020: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
From March forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar fourth house. During this longer-term cycle, you are likely to see benefits to home, family, property, and domestic comfort matters. Much joy and pleasure can be found in your family connections and experiences and/or your home life during this cycle. An increased sense of security and safety may be derived from your domestic life. Improvements to your home life, family, and basic psychological foundation are in focus. You might find that inner and personal experiences are more important to you than more worldly ones during this cycle. Opportunities to buy or sell real estate for financial gain may present themselves. Home improvements and renovations are favored, as is moving to a new dwelling (more spacious or larger homes are likely now). Some of you may buy or sell a house, and others may welcome a new addition to the family. You may move to a larger or more comfortable home; or you might enhance your existing home in such a way that makes you feel happier, perhaps by de-cluttering your space. Long-standing family problems may be ironed out. Relationships with parents and other family members go well. You may find special enjoyment through getting in touch with, or researching, your roots or family traditions. There could be a family reunion (if appropriate), vacation, or another event that gives you a stronger sense of connection to your family. The family may help you financially or an inheritance is possible for some of you. You take more pleasure in nurturing others. A stronger sense of psychological well-being may come now, as you take less interest in more worldly ambitions and activities. 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.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fourth house, from March 3-May 13, and from September 13-forward.
Saturn transits your solar fourth house this year. This transit will run until 2022 for your decan.
Saturn here urges you to get serious about home, family, and domestic concerns. You are building your nest, not in a "plumping your nest" sort of way. In fact, you may be stripping some things away - perhaps even downsizing or de-cluttering - and adding structure to your domestic life. This can benefit you greatly in the long run!
During this transit, you're likely to face issues surrounding your attachments to the past. Sometimes this manifests as literal re-organization of your home. Moving house is not typically associated with this transit as it would if, for example, Uranus was the transiting planet. If moves are made, you might encounter some resistance in yourself or the move might be a source of stress and worry; or you may be downsizing.
This may not be a time when you feel particularly brave in the outer world. However, reorganization in your home, and more importantly, in your soul/personal life, embodies the true nature of this transit. Many will go through a major "spring cleaning" inside. Limitations that came from early family conditioning will be brought to the fore. At first, there may be some frustration with your life to date, and how you may have limited your opportunities because of early conditioning. A feeling of being alone and unsupported in life may dominate at times now. Some may experience some distancing or frustrations regarding your parents. Family obligations may seem to get in the way of your experience of pleasure and of the achievement of your personal goals. There may be some emotional distancing as well in your home environment. Your current living conditions may feel restrictive, limiting, too small or cramped (physically and/or emotionally). Delays and slowdowns may be experienced in the areas of health, mobility, and career.
However, all of these things occur so that you start work on making improvements and in order that you face your responsibilities, become more self-sufficient, and more organized. Ultimately, you are learning to rely on yourself and to take care of things that you may have previously neglected but that have undermined your confidence in yourself and in your life! Working from home is a strong possibility during this period. Bringing more structure and discipline to your domestic life may be in order, and is likely to work very well in your favor. By the end of this transit, your home is likely to be in tip-top shape and family life should be more organized.
The more intense or acute elements of this transit are happening for you this year, after which you grow more accustomed to the energies.
There can be some feelings of being blocked or stalled, by circumstances or by others, while Saturn squares your Sun. It can be difficult to feel that you're moving forward under this influence. In fact, you're not moving backward. Instead, you're moving forward slowly but surely. Treat delays as chances to perfect what you're doing, and you'll be much better off emotionally!
As Saturn squares your Sun, distinct pressures can begin to build up. More responsibilities on your shoulders could weigh you down a little, and life slows down a tad. Dealing with Saturn squares involves recognizing the need to slow down, face reality, and humble yourself a little. Pressures from your professional life are possible but needn't be overwhelming. You are likely to have new or increased responsibilities, and it might take some time to get adjusted to them. Your ego may be a little frail at this point, and, as a result, you may be harder on yourself than you need be. Sometimes, this coincides with physical energy dips. Much can be accomplished during this period, however. Although you may not see immediate results for your efforts, important groundwork can be laid for the future.
Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar seventh house. With its long-term transit of your partnership sector, Uranus has a way of shaking up close relationships or you may receive a shake-down of sorts related to how you view others and partnerships. Some of you can feel that it's hard to truly rely on a partner or a partnership. Lifeless or outworn relationships may become harder to bear. Some trial and error in relationships is par for the course with Uranus in this sector of your chart. People in your life may be surprised at your displays of independence. You don't care for taking orders, and any attempts to limit you are likely to be met with great resistance or downright rebelliousness on your part. There can be some relationship tension as you explore ways to break free from restriction. Some of you could experience erratic or rebellious behavior in a close partner, and this could have you on your toes, wondering what's next. Sometimes this transit relates to periods when sudden relationship changes occur, whether it's a sudden move out of or into a partnership. You may be attracting someone who is unusual, different, or who is entirely not your usual "type." In fact, this is a powerful time for breaking out of limiting relating patterns and starting fresh. Your relationships require new or fewer "rules" now.
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar fifth house this year, as it has been doing for a number of years.
This very long-term transit can cast some initial "fog" over your heartfelt endeavors, including romance and creative projects, after which you tune into a more spiritual path regarding these matters. During this transit, you are highly romantic, but also somewhat prone to self-deception--seeing what you want to see in a lover rather than what really is. Being "in love with love" is quite probable now. Love can be very romantic for you, but it can also be complicated or downright elusive! You may find yourself falling in love with someone unattainable or attached, for example; or you might attach yourself to someone who you deem needs "saving." Use some caution if this is the case. Drama in romance can be lovely, but too much of it will only leave you yearning and perhaps even heartbroken. Caution with gambling is also necessary. You are more imaginative under this influence, however, and you might take up a very artistic hobby or other satisfying creative outlets. This is a positively brilliant period for discovering or enhancing your artistic talents.
However, those born with the Sun or Ascendant at 20 to 21 degrees Libra will see the very beginnings of Neptune’s transit to the solar sixth house this year:
Neptune here may cast some "fog" over your working life, health, and habits. You are more susceptible to medications, chemicals, and other such things during this long-term cycle, so keep this in mind. Stress more easily affects your health. Some confusion on the job may be part of the picture, or your job may be steering toward compassionate service, charity, or other helping professions. Neptune's presence here makes it rather challenging to stick to regular schedules and routines. There can be some level of disarray in your daily life at this time. Watch closely for carelessness or neglect when it comes to your health. Your motivations or attitudes toward work can gradually change during this transit.
Pluto begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar fourth house this year for those born approximately from 20 to 25 degrees Libra.
This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes in your home or family life and your psyche. Your needs for nurture transform and evolve. Pluto transiting your solar fourth house is a very long-term transit that gradually brings changes to the basic domestic structure. Your connections to family members can evolve on a fundamental level, especially in terms of responsibilities, support, or roles.
There can be a retreat into yourself during this cycle as you explore, on a very deep level, your roots, childhood conditioning, and feelings of personal security.

By the time this transit ends, however, you are more equipped than ever to go after exactly what it is that you want in life. Superficial areas of your life will be removed or transformed, and you are freer to express your authentic self.
Pluto continues its lengthy transit through your solar third house this year for those born with 26-30 degrees Libra. This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes in your mindset. This is a time for deep thinking, exposing truths, research, and investigation. You might question a lot of things, including knowledge and information you've learned in the past. You might begin an intensive line of study during this period. You may have disdain for superficial or fluffy conversation, preferring deeper subject matter. Expectations transform this year. Intensity and passion are craved when it comes to your personal projects, interests, learning, and communications, and mediocre will no longer do in these areas! You’ve been going through this process for many years now.
This year, the North Node transits your solar ninth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in.
*Please note: starting and ending dates are not fixed for any sign and they can vary slightly depending on the year you were born. If you are born near one of these dates and are unsure of your Sun sign, see What’s My Sun Sign?.
