Areas of Expansion in 2020 for Pisces:
Your Pisces 2020 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.
- Friends
- Hopes and Dreams
- Community
- Spirituality
- Rest
- Emotional Health
Until December 18th, 2020, your connections to others, group associations, and friendships continue to expand and grow. This influence began in December 2019. It’s a pleasant, supportive transit that only comes around approximately every 12 years for approximately 12 months.
This is a time for feeling considerably more confident about the future, as well as confidence in your ability to set plans in motion that will allow you to accomplish some of your most cherished hopes and dreams.
It’s a time when you are filled with ideas about the future. You are planting seeds, so to speak, aiming to get started on projects that will reap rewards in the future. While this can be exciting, try not to take on more than you can handle. Your vision is quite optimistic, and you might overestimate what you are capable of doing down the road! However, one or two projects can be inspiring and also quite innovative.
With more contact with others, whether it’s about an expanded in-person group of connections or online, you are sure to come up with new ideas and to be inspired. Others can point you in new directions. There can be a cause that you work towards enthusiastically. A new communications project can excite you and bring you into contact with interesting, helpful people. Business income should increase.
This can be a time of budding friendships and/or group involvement. New people may come into your life and seek out your friendship, or existing friendships may be refreshed or enhanced. Opportunities to advance or for new learning experiences can come through associates, friendships, and networking. For many, this can be a strong time for an internet business.
People can be friendlier than usual to you, and you may benefit from group connections or networking. You are popular within groups, and circumstances have a way of turning in your favor. You can accomplish wonders with initiatives or causes that you believe in.
You’re in great shape for enjoying the fruits of your recent labor, promotion, and successes.
Potential challenges: Over-emphasis on activities that take you away from your practical responsibilities, too often.
However, for the most part, you are likely to take advantage of this period in your life in order to expand your social life and friends base as well as to dream up exciting new paths for the future. You’re in a particularly good position for connecting with friends and benefiting from networking and putting plans into motion with booster influences in 2020: One such boost occurs from February to October and is an inspired time for enjoying your social life and feeling a stronger purpose as a result of your interactions or new projects and plans. Another boost happens from April to November and is a time of increased ambition and drive for improving your life, making the connections you need or desire, and advancing toward your goals. It’s also a powerful time for taking the lead of a group, organizing, and starting up a new endeavor, especially an innovative one.
It’s interesting to note that these very areas of life where you can expect expansion are also subject to an influence that contracts and simplifies, outlined in the next section, Areas of Contraction. Rather than canceling each other out, these counteractive influences can help you achieve a fabulous balance. You may very well enjoy your newfound self-discipline or simplification in these life departments. There may be a practical spin on your friendships or social life this year.
From December 19th onward, your spiritual world, compassion, private life, and tolerance expand and grow. This is a period for looking within and learning of your inner strength. It’s also a time for appreciating some level of solitude.
Matters from the past are magnified in your life now. You tend to sort through the attitudes that serve you well, and the behaviors that need to go in order for you to grow and improve – a cycle that lasts for the most part until December 2021 when Jupiter will enter your sign and you are ready to share yourself more fully with the world. Note that Jupiter will enter Pisces before this date for several weeks in 2021 (May 13-July 28, 2021) but will return to the sign behind yours to finish up its transit until December 2021.
This is generally a warm, protective cycle, although with Jupiter in the background in your chart, there may be some sense that you are not truly living or experiencing your life to the fullest, or that your joy in life is not as obvious to others. With so very much activity in the sector of your chart that rules private matters, anonymity, healing, and endings, this is one of the more withdrawn, reflective periods of your life. You may be exploring the hidden elements of life or developing your spirituality now.
You may also be especially compassionate and empathetic. This can be a powerful period for volunteer work, or for work done behind the scenes, in private, or in the helping professions.
Potential challenges: Escapism. You might often be tempted to escape your everyday responsibilities and challenges, and should avoid reliance on drugs, drinking, or other “glamorous” forms of escape.
Jupiter’s influence is generally considered positive, and it is, ultimately. However, it acts to magnify the area of the chart that it affects, and at times it can be uncomfortable if you are having difficulties in this area. In your case, if you are lonely or if you feel helpless, and if you have troubles facing your past, then this influence can heighten these issues. Ultimately, it’s for the good. The cosmos asks you now to surrender some of your attachments and to surrender to the unknown. Releasing control is necessary. Building your faith is the work you are doing now. While your tendency is to play a supportive role to others, if taken too far, you will need to draw some boundaries when it comes to your energy and time. There can be some strains on mental and physical health.
There is stronger joy in being of service to others, but do be careful that you take care of yourself as well.
Still, for the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. Your perceptions heighten. Your ability to make sacrifices for others increases, and you can build your confidence in yourself as you help and support others.
Interestingly, another influence on the very same areas of life, outlined below in the Areas of Contraction section, is a contracting influence. This means that you can reach a wonderful balance. With self-discipline, you find more joy and confidence. Shortly after this transit begins in December, Jupiter and Saturn meet, and you can be extremely productive. It can be a time for working on a project in advance of a launch date or for putting a long-term project behind you. Your career may involve work behind the scenes. You may be in a processing or hatching stage with a venture.
Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity: Friendships, Causes, Wishes, Spirituality, Privacy
Your Pisces 2020 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.
Until March 21, 2020, and from July 1st to December 16th, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that rules friendships, group and community involvement, and personal dreams and ideals. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.
This influence is with you on and off in 2020–it’s phasing out this year! It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Pisces. In 2020, those most directly affected by this transit are those born from approximately March 11-20/21 and those with an Ascendant of 21 to 30 degrees Pisces.
Tests can come to your friendships during this long-term cycle. You may be more discriminating when it comes to making new friends, or circumstances are such that you spend less energy on networking and involvement in your community or in teams and groups. Existing friendships may experience some tests or trials during this cycle, and one or possibly more friendships may end. Those that are true, however, will strengthen. In fact, this can be a wonderful period for forming or strengthening a lasting alliance with a person, group, or cause.
Keeping friendships strong and healthy requires effort. Friends or group affiliations may seem more demanding of your time and energy now, or you might feel stress about how much of yourself you put into your social obligations. There can be some strain on a friendship due to an increased focus on other areas of life for some of you. Friendships or causes can drain you at times if you are giving too much while ignoring your own needs. There can be stress from both personal and social camps as each area of life demands much of you (or you want more from these things!).
Alternatively, 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 naturally taking the lead. It’s a time for making solid plans for your future.
This is a rewarding period overall, particularly if you focus more on long-term benefits and less on short-term frustrations. Saturn is in a sign that it rules, Capricorn, and in your solar chart, where it feels very comfortable, and performs very well here as a result. The last time Saturn moved through Capricorn was from 1988-1990.
In January, you may be breaking something down in order to rebuild something stronger. Since Jupiter is transiting the same area of your chart concurrently, you can experience a nice sense of purpose and balance through these activities. There can be a stable yet fulfilling friendship or cause that both grounds you and brings you joy this year.
From March 22nd to June 30th and December 17th forward, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that governs spirituality and retreat. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.
This influence is only just getting started this year. While it’s weaving in and out of influence in 2020, you’ll experience it more consistently from December 17th forward all the way until March 2023.
It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Pisces. This year, it will influence those born from approximately February 18/19-21 and with a Pisces Ascendant of only 0-2 degrees the most. The rest of the sign will feel its influence more directly later on.
All that lies beneath the surface in your life is now coming up for inspection, and you are forced to do some serious “spring cleaning” of your psyche. Getting rid of outdated attachments, and examining and discarding irrational fears, is not only necessary for further growth and development — it’s ultimately a huge relief. Do your best not to dwell on past failures or guilt for what you haven’t done during this cycle. Detach yourself from these things as much as possible. Put things to rest. This can also be a time when you give of yourself to others, as you are valuing charity more than usual. You could be struggling with issues of self-worth, and this is a fine time to really explore what it is that holds you back from going after what you want and deserve in life.
You could feel that you are dealing with endings more than new beginnings in some areas of life during this transit, as you let go of outdated attachments and unconsciously prepare yourself for Saturn’s transit of Pisces beginning in March 2023, when you will work diligently on reworking your individuality and personal identity. You are somewhat introspective at this time and you might isolate yourself from others in some manner—a process that tends to come naturally at this point.
There can be a retiring, somewhat withdrawn or private element to your personality during this phase. You may need to watch that people in your life don’t feel rejected by your withdrawal. Health issues, generally of a psychosomatic nature, may come to the fore. You may be attracted to alternative ways of living, and to self-study fields, such as psychoanalysis. There can be much to learn and enjoy during this cycle. With Saturn in the background of your chart, you might often feel quite free of constraints. The last time Saturn moved through Aquarius as it is doing now was from 1991 to early 1994, and similar themes can emerge now.
In 2020, with Jupiter concurrently transiting this area of your chart until next year, you’ll find more joy, pleasure, and confidence in taking care of your spiritual needs and regarding your increased self-discipline.
Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed in 2020: Communications, Connections, and Transportation
Your 2020 Pisces Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.
All year, a longterm cycle reestablishes itself, now consistently, for the coming years (until 2026). This influence revolutionizes the ways you communicate and connect with the world around you.
During this cycle, communications, learning, and connections may be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You are opening up and expressing your more unique ideas. Your daily life is bound to be very colorful. Regular encounters with neighbors, relatives, and acquaintances, as well as everyday activities and business activities, are all changing quite dramatically. In addition, your basic mental attitudes are evolving. Your interests can become quite eclectic during this cycle. Studies may be erratic or part-time.
Relationships with acquaintances, neighbors, students, and siblings, and learning endeavors are exciting and engaging. You may become aware of some new and especially useful information, which puts a whole new slant on your life. There can be times when you feel a little scattered or when dabbling can leave you feeling overwhelmed.
Your personal interests expand, and your ideas are different, unconventional, and innovative. New technologies or methods can open up new experiences or channels for transportation and communication.
While you’re not typically a person who blurts things out too quickly, this can be a theme now and in coming years! Be sure you make words work for instead of against you. In 2020, you benefit greatly from a quirky, open, and honest style in March and April that benefits your creative and romantic life in particular.
Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation
Your 2020 Pisces Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.” The following areas are the major areas of transformation for you in 2020:
- Friendships
- Groups
- Romance
- Creativity
- Home & Family
Attitudes towards friends and group involvements continue to transform this year. This period is excellent for publishing, networking, and connecting. You’re in a strong position to advance your interests through your connections with others, and the experiences you have are rewarding, educational, and empowering, to boot. Happiness and fulfillment through the expansion of your mind, widening your social circle, travel, and connections to people of a different cultural background than you are indicated. Your idealistic nature is stimulated, and you are likely to yearn for a connection to more spiritual or idealistic pursuits. You gain a stronger sense of belonging through connection to something larger than yourself.
Challenges with these matters are more likely in late September to early October when attention to your home or family life can clash with your friendship or happiness goals. There can be a strong temptation to take on too much, but this can lead to overload.
However, opportunities through these changes are likely to present themselves throughout the year. In fact, you have excellent boosters with you now. Friendships or group associations that haven’t empowered you or are no longer doing so may be left behind, but this makes room for more authentic, empowering connections. From April to November in particular, you are determined to make improvements and positive changes to your social life.
Eclipses this year continue to challenge you to express yourself more creatively and openly, especially until May/June. Friendships, group associations, creativity, and romantic involvements are evolving in important ways. New group associations may be made, friendships can expand, and you are challenged to find a balance between your romantic life and your connections with friends, particularly around the eclipses in January, June, and July.
With the North Node moving through your amusement/creativity and romance sector until May, you can benefit greatly from expressing yourself more playfully and uniquely. Don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd now!
From May forward, it would benefit you to pay more attention to home and family life — this is where you find your greatest joy and challenge. There is a real need to get your domestic life into order, as this can bring fantastic benefits and much joy to your life. While public and personal lives seem to compete, you have every opportunity to come to the right balance. This influence is particularly strong in July, November, and December, but will continue to unfold through most of 2021.
Your Planetary Rulers in 2020: Neptune and Jupiter are your planetary rulers. Neptune is in your sign again, all year, reminding you of your special magic. This transit is with you for many years to come! Jupiter spends most of the year in Capricorn and in favorable aspect to your sign. In fact, your rulers harmonize with one another from February to October, and this helps aid your self-expression and your overall sense that you’re flowing along and more often than not in your comfort zone in 2020.

*It’s important to note that birthdates for Sun signs are always approximate since the starting date and time varies a bit every single year. If you were born on one of these cutoff dates (commonly known as a “cusp”), you can get a definitive answer using a Sun Sign Calculator. You can also write reports@cafeastrology.com with your birth information and we can let you know your true Sun sign if you were born on or beside the approximate date range given for any sign of the zodiac.
**If you want to know your Ascendant, find out with an Ascendant calculator, such as our What’s My Ascendant?, but do note that an Ascendant cannot be determined for unknown birth times. Note that the modern Ascendant calculators use a timezone atlas that is very precise for dates after 1970, but there are nuances for birthdates before 1970 that are better captured in the Free Report section.
