Areas of Expansion in 2020 for Sagittarius:

Your Sagittarius 2020 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Finances/Income
Self-worth
Comfort
Communications
Transportation
Attitude & Outlook

Until December 18th, 2020, money, personal possessions, valuables, and self-worth continue to expand, increase, improve, and grow. Your desire for security and comfort is hearty now, and you’ll pursue these things with more confidence and verve. You feel that you deserve more!

This is a strong time for buying long-term valuables. You are likely to make bigger decisions about your material resources during this period.

This cycle that started in December 2019 is strong for attracting more money from your professional endeavors and for expanding a business. Be careful if you are suddenly in the position to receive, for example, a credit line or sizeable loan – spend wisely. You should certainly watch for overspending.

Potential difficulties: Be on the alert for an attitude towards money that is careless. If you are accumulating personal possessions too quickly, this can lead to clutter and disorganization. If you’re overconfident about your ability to make money, then you might take foolish risks, such as borrowing from your future. Watch for over-indulgence. Be extra careful if lending or borrowing.

Otherwise, this is a good period for bringing a fresh, positive, and confident attitude towards your own self-worth and value, and to your practical affairs, including work. You could be more enthusiastic or optimistic about earning a living. A money problem may clear up. A major purchase or sale can figure strongly.

You have another concurrent influence, outlined in the section immediately below, that helps to counteract the difficult potentials of this influence. As well, you seem to have the practicality and vision to bring your dreams into concrete manifestation this year.

As well, there are two booster influences that support expanding your resources, developing your talents, and improving your money situation. From February to October, there can be material benefits related to your home, family, or real estate. Improving home life can tie in with a better income or attitude toward money and talents during this trend. Another booster that spans from April to November pumps everything up–you’re ambitious, confident, and ready to pour all of yourself into building your talents or resources. This is a power period for talents, money, and business.

Your personality, confidence, and verve can add to your income during this period. Earning your way is more important to you than usual in the year ahead. It can be a time of a pleasant feeling of self-sufficiency. There can be powerful changes in how you view your money, resources, assets, personal belongings, and natural talents or earning power during this period.

From December 19th onward, you do well as a messenger of sorts during this period, as you do more learning, educating, spreading ideas, disseminating information, communicating, and facilitating communcation between others. You can have a stronger desire to reach others through your ideas. Others find you particularly amusing, informative, and pleasant to be around. The thing to watch for most is that you diversify too much and don’t accomplish very much due to being too scattered. There can be gains through short journeys, siblings, writing, ideas, promotion, or mental interests.

You are ready to take on big projects. Your confidence in the future is very strong during this cycle that is with you for the most part until December 2021 (with the exception of May 13 to July 28, 2021).

During this transit, your communications increase and expand. Your ability and desire to express yourself are greater now, and your personal interests grow. Good fortune with vehicles, transportation, through siblings, and with the communications industry can be experienced during this cycle. You are more perceptive, and others are more receptive to your ideas. New opportunities to communicate can open up to you. This can be a busy period for learning.

Potential problems: Taking on too many daily activities, communications, new interests, and learning endeavors or studies can be a problem now. Don’t overload your plate. There can be a real tendency to want to do it all, forgetting your limits regarding time and energy. Taking on too many projects or becoming too entrenched in details can cause problems.

However, for the most part, you are likely to enjoy more opportunities through your communications and contact with others during this cycle that will color most of 2021. You could feel especially driven to pursue your personal interests, particularly in December. It’s a time for practical application.

You might find that you travel less and that you are busier locally. Your thinking is more upbeat, positive, and forward-looking, and so is the way you express yourself. In fact, this is an excellent time for improving your communication skills and your general attitude or mindset. There can be important opportunities through meetings, courses, teaching, and connections made in the neighborhood or through siblings. Some problems with siblings or neighbors could be put to rest now, although they might be magnified initially in order for problem areas to come out into the open and finally be resolved. Some of you might return to school or take some courses.

There can be increased communications with siblings, classmates, and peers in general during this period. You could be finding that transportation options now available make life a little more enjoyable.

Interestingly, these areas of life in which you’re expanding overlap with the areas of contraction influence outlined in the next section. While they are opposite influences, this doesn’t cancel the influences out! Instead, these transits coexist. You may be able to blend them successfully. In fact, this can be a powerfully ambitious and positive time when you find joy in working hard at your studies or personal interests, perfecting your communications or a project, and learning or sharing ideas and information.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your Sagittarius 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.

Money
Income
Resources
Communication
Transportation
Studies

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 governs personal finances, income derived from your own efforts (this excludes shared finances and financial support through debts and rebates), personal possessions, self-esteem, personal talents, and personal values. 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 until near the end of the year 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 Sagittarius. This year, it will directly impact those born from approximately December 13-21 and people who have a 21-30 degree Sagittarius Ascendant.

Tests can come to your financial affairs during this cycle. You are challenged to better manage your personal resources and to come up with a fair and realistic assessment of your value or worth. You may be necessarily more cautious about entering into heavy financial commitments during this period, and more cautious in general with spending. Worries can surface about your earning power, but as you progress, the ideal end result will be a stronger sense of what you are capable of earning, better spending and saving habits, and a more realistic budget. Cutting back on some luxuries may be in order, but you may just discover that the security you gain is more important than the luxuries you let go.

Saturn performs very well in the sign of Capricorn as the sign’s planetary ruler. This should be a rewarding cycle for coming to a better position regarding the management of your material resources. You are exceptionally security-minded at this time and you can begin or step up savings plans. Any innate organizational and budgeting traits you possess are highlighted now. Look for overlapping or unnecessary expenses and other redundancies, and aim to rid yourself of material clutter. Your natural talents can contribute more to your personal income than previously. The last time this transit occurred was some time ago – from 1988-1990.

In 2020, January is the most intense for these themes. You may need to tear something down so that you can rebuild it and improve your life. For most of this period, you can experience a positive attitude and a sense of joy through increased responsibility and feeling on top of things.

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 communications, learning, and local transportation. 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 beginning this year! While it’s weaving in and out of influence in 2020, you’ll experience it more consistently from December 17th forward. Saturn will transit this area of your chart until March 2023.

This transit can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Sagittarius. This year, those born with a Sagittarius Ascendant of 0 to 2 degrees, and those born from November 22 to 24, are most directly affected.

Challenges can come to your communications during this cycle. You may be more guarded and particular with your communications, taking things quite seriously and somewhat fearful of making mistakes. You may feel pressure to produce ideas, and to make them work in the “real world”. A certain somberness in your outlook may be characteristic of this phase, as it could be a time of worry. It may seem like acquaintances and sometimes siblings are blocking your growth in some manner, and these relationships may be strained as a result. Although you have a desire to make contacts, you are now rather preoccupied with learning or other mental projects, and you may view idle chit-chat as a waste of time.

You may feel an unusual pressure to structure your time and effort and to cut out communications that seem unnecessary. You may at times feel rather overwhelmed by such things as errands, red tape, and other such day-to-day “disruptions.” By the end of the transit, however, you will have ideally gained a greater depth of understanding, having focused on information and communication that you really can use to feel more effective in the world.

You also have a concurrent influence that helps to balance you out in these areas of life for the most part from December 2020 to December 2021, outlined in the section above (Areas of Expansion). This positively boosts your experiences. You can find enjoyment and fulfillment in your efforts and self-discipline!

There is a great need now to structure your life by way of schedules, managing daily details and your time more effectively. There can be some problems with local transportation — getting from point A to point B. Communications can be delayed or lost, perhaps impeding certain projects. Disputes with relatives or neighbors are possible when Saturn is challenged in this area of your solar chart. Publications or announcements may not be received as well as they would at other times. There can be some restlessness or an urge to get out and about, but you might feel weighed down by your daily responsibilities.

There can be issues with mobility and transportation during this transit, and mechanical breakdowns can present challenges. Ultimately, these things lead to improvements and more efficiency. As well, this is a time of increased practicality and esteem. You are more reliable than usual. You procrastinate less. Teaching can be in strong focus. There can be a greater love of the less glamorous aspects of your work, studies, and projects, and you are capable of tremendous effort to further your goals.

During this cycle, Saturn is in one of the signs that it rules (Aquarius) and performs decently well in this position. This gives more power to your communications sector – you are functioning on your own terms. You understand the need to structure and organize your daily affairs and communications implicitly. The last time this influence occurred was from 1991 to early 1994 – it doesn’t happen often!

With the concurrent Jupiter transit for much of the period from December 2020 to December 2021, you’re challenged to both expand and contract in these areas of life, and finding a good balance can be especially beneficial. Your communications can be particularly effective, and your projects can be both satisfying and profitable or rewarding. This is a strong time for producing and enjoying it as you do! It’s also a time for improving your communications and transportation systems to increase your income. Teaching or guiding can supplement your income.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed:

Your 2020 Sagittarius Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

Work
Health
Habits
Routines

All year, you’re part of a long-term trend in which your work, daily routines, and health can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting! You can bring fresh insight to your work now, although there can be times when you’re impatient with rules and schedules. Daily routines can be chaotic and your energy tends to be up and down.

Ultimately, you are looking for a more authentic expression of yourself regarding work, service, or daily life, and while it can be a little chaotic for now, you are learning to tap into your “inner genius.” It can be challenging to tap into your intuition on a schedule, and that’s what you need to manage now–finding the right balance.

This is an important time for keeping open to change and current developments regarding your work or health. The most modern types of technology can transform your work. Staying in touch with current developments in your field gives you a nice edge. During this period, watch for nervousness, tension, and changes that interfere with your comfort, health, and equilibrium or work output.

You need more excitement or variety in your work, and you seem to do better when setting your own pace. Jobs may be freelance or unusual during this cycle.

Note that this influence kicked in more consistently from March 2019 forward and runs until April 2026! This year, March and April are particularly strong months for the benefits of this transit. Improvements to your practical world, work, finances, or health can be groundbreaking and can be tied in with research, support, a partner, or finances.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:

Your 2020 Sagittarius 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.”

Finances
Values
Shared Finances
Partnerships

Attitudes towards finances and possessions, as well as money itself and personal values, continue to transform this year. Life lessons might occur in order for you to get in better touch with self-worth, principles, self-defense, and money attitudes. Changes might occur in your source of income or your level of income can change. You may have to face control issues and possessiveness, and learn how to better manage this part of your life. This trend is very long-term–it’s been part of your life for many years, and will continue to influence you for years to come.

There may be some challenges, particularly in September and October, when there can be a clash between a partnership and need for company and a compulsion to feel secure, comfortable, and safe. You’re being asked to do more sharing and supporting, and this seems to compete with your desire to be self-sufficient.

Overall, however, 2020 brings wonderful energy for improvement with money, relationships, income, and talents. Look for opportunities to turn around a difficult emotional or financial situation. You get tremendous support this year for your efforts to take charge of your finances, develop your talents, and find new ways to make money from hidden or current resources, as well as for business development, particularly in January, when you’re more disciplined, and from April to November, when your ambitions ramp up and you can move mountains as a result.

In 2020, the North Node continues to challenge you to improve your financial picture. Your finances are evolving in important ways. Dependencies on others are revealed and could feel uncomfortable before this discontent moves you to make necessary changes. The ways you handle money need to change, but also your attitude towards how effectively you can make an income, save, and depend on yourself. You experience a strong need to eliminate things you no longer need. You might find that your attitude towards moving forward improves in direct proportion to your ability to rid yourself of excess baggage – the literal leads to the figurative. Shuffling around your finances is likely. Even so, a new theme is emerging that relates to independence and partnership.

The North Node in your intimacy sector until May/June points to a real need to share yourself with others in empowering and effective ways, particularly around the eclipses in January and June-July that continue to pull up themes related to shared finances, support, dependency, intimacy, and power dynamics. You’re encouraged to share yourself with others in satisfying ways.

An evolution of your personality and your partnerships begins this year, and it will continue to figure strongly through most of the year 2021 as well. Your definitions of “me” and “you” are transforming. Issues of personal courage, confidence, and independence come to the fore. Personal appearance, your body, and your image become especially important. For some, marriage or divorce will be an issue. For most, carving out a personal identity that includes a significant other who furthers their own personal growth will come into strong focus. Particularly around the eclipses in June, November, and December, you’ll be discovering where you stand when it comes to partnerships and independence.

The North Node in your partnership sector from May/June forward reinforces this theme. You are called upon to face up to your needs and desires to partner effectively. You are pushed towards better balancing and understanding of your needs for independence and for partnership this year.

Romantic relationships, children, and creative contacts can be the source of increased consciousness or inspiration in 2020.

Your Planetary Ruler in 2020: Jupiter is your planetary ruler.

Last year, Jupiter spent much of the year in your sign, and you may have been coming out of your shell and recognizing important goals and ideals. This year, you want to lock things down. It’s not as much about self-discovery as it is about taking concrete steps towards realizing your objectives. As well, you have an increased desire to settle in and enjoy your recent wins!

Jupiter’s retrograde cycle in 2020: May to September

Jupiter’s retrograde periods every year are natural cycles of introspection and extra rest or periods of reflection, and in 2020, Jupiter is retrograde from May 14th to September 12th. Jupiter connects with heavy planets (Saturn and Pluto) this year, and it can be a time for recognizing your limits AND your ambitions. Still, you can be especially focused on enjoying yourself, building a nest, and finding new ways to feel more secure and comfortable.

*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.
