Areas of Expansion in 2020 for Scorpio:

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

Communication
Connections
Studies
Personal Interests
Transportation
Home
Family

Until December 18th, 2020, you continue to expand your personal interests, mind, and connections (since December 2019). You are ready to take on big projects! Your confidence in the future is very strong during this cycle that is with you for most of the year 2020.

During this trend, your communications increase and expand. Depending on your current situation and your unique personality/circumstances, this influence can play out in a number of ways. You enjoy a greater ability (and desire) to express yourself, and your personal interests grow. You might develop a mental interest or project more fully this year. 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, exciting, and rewarding 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 in terms of 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 spans from December 2019 to December 2020.

A booster transit that supports all of these efforts worth noting occurs from February to October, when you are especially creative. Communications boost romance and love in your life. Your imagination blossoms, and creative writing, speaking, and other such pursuits can thrive. It’s a good time to expand your mind and connect with others through the mind. Falling in love through the power of words is not out of question with this influence.

Another boost occurs from April to November when you can feel especially enthusiastic, ambitious, and motivated to improve your life through your studies, projects, and connections. It’s a powerful time for personal appeal through your communications, persuasion, finding your voice, and feeling a sense of mission about what you’re doing, learning, teaching, and sharing. Perhaps most importantly, you’re discovering your own deeper ambitions and aspirations, and you’re drawing upon resources and talents you may not have even known you had to push a project forward or to achieve your goals.

You might find that you travel less, if applicable, 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. Since the ruler of your money and resources sector is moving through your communications sector during this period, and your income can be tightly tied in with communications and/or transit. Word of mouth can improve your money situation.

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, or you could find that some areas expand while others contract. In fact, this can be a powerfully ambitious and positive time when you enjoy working hard at your studies or personal interests. You can find pleasure and joy through self-discipline in these areas of life, in other words!

From December 19th onward, you enjoy an influence that boosts your personal life, family, or home experience. This influence lasts for most of the period from December 2020 to December 2021 (with the exception of May 13 to July 28, 2021).

Depending on your personality and unique circumstances, this transit can manifest in a variety of ways. You are more confident about your family, living arrangements, and living conditions. While this is a rather domestic transit, relationships with anyone you feel especially connected with emotionally can benefit. You are comfortable with your position, and you may be building loving and secure connections with others. There can be special attention to the comfort and beauty of your home or a stronger desire to connect with your roots. There is a stronger ability to bounce back from problems.

Your inner world, family life, domestic activities, and domestic arrangements expand and grow. Relations with family can be especially pleasant and supportive. You might move to a new home, likely a bigger one, or expand real estate holdings. Some of you can get a mortgage or support that allows you to expand your home base. Family itself can expand, or there might be an addition to your home. Some might take on a roommate for example, or bring more friends to their home. Others might pool resources with a partner and move in together. Entertaining in the home can be emphasized if that is something that makes you happy. Otherwise, you can experience a stronger sense of peace and privacy in your home life.

Because Jupiter is the natural ruler of your solar second house of resources, you may be investing more money or resources into improving your home or family life during this trend. Home life may be more comfortable, and you can be quite security-conscious at this time in your life. In some cases, there can be income related to home products or the home itself, or working in/from the home.

Generally speaking, more positive energy is brought to your domestic world, and long-standing problems with family might be put behind you. Do be careful about overextending yourself with home improvements, or larger accommodations that are beyond your means. Your personal life tends to overshadow your professional life or material activities during this cycle. Relationships with family can improve significantly now, although pre-existing problems might be magnified initially.

This can be a good time to set up a home business or for home studies. On a more psychological level, confidence in yourself and feelings of security increase during this period.

Potential problems: Excessive money spent on home improvement, too much emphasis on the home to the point that other areas of your life suffer, or some unwillingness to expand your horizons. Avoiding or escaping responsibilities may be a problem from time to time. You may be wanting to please too many people, and overdoing things leaves you exhausted, as it seems there is never enough time and energy to meet all your needs. There can be issues, at times, when your need for emotional or psychic space interferes in a close relationship, or family and partnership can be draining you as they seem to clash at times. In early 2021, erratic experiences or ups and downs in your relationship world could impact your basic sense of security.

However, this influences overlaps with one that is mentioned below that helps stabilize you. You want to improve these areas of life, and it seems the best way to do so with this concurrent influence is to simplify. You can do some hard work getting things straightened out, but you find some joy in so doing. As well, a booster transit that occurs shortly after this influence begins (in December) is excellent for self-discipline and effort put forth to make things better.

For the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. This is a time of nest-feathering. It’s a strong time for psychotherapy and purging as you are willing to look at the root of problems. It’s a good time for long-term financial planning and strengthening your financial picture through some form of pooling of resources. There can be more power and resources available to you to establish yourself, especially through a home or property, but also for long-term business endeavors. This is a time of working hard on or around the home, but you’re enjoying yourself as you do!

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your Scorpio 2020 Horoscope reveals 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.

Communications
Transportation
Mindset
Daily Life
Making Contacts/Connections
Home & Family
Security & Familiarity

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 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 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 Scorpio. This year, those born with a Scorpio Ascendant of 21 to 30 degrees, and those born from November 14-22, 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 (this year), 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 from December 2019 to December 2020, 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. 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. However, this is also 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 (Capricorn) and performs very 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 Saturn transited here was from 1988-1990 – it doesn’t happen often!

With the concurrent Jupiter transit this year, 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! In January, in particular, you are determined to rebuild and succeed. Circumstances may be that you need to restructure.

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 your personal life, home, family, your roots, domestic activities, living conditions, and security. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life — as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Those 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. Saturn will transit this area of your chart 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 Scorpio. This year, it impacts mostly those born with a Scorpio Sun from October 23-25 and those with a Scorpio Ascendant of 0-2 degrees–a very small window. For the rest of the Scorpio Suns and Ascendants, this influence is up and coming!

You are becoming especially security-minded and you have a stronger need to live a more organized life. Some of you may be a little more private about your home life during this cycle. This is a good time to be more frugal due to your increased desire to feel secure and safe. You have or feel more responsibility to your home and family now. There may be some restrictions experienced in your living conditions or arrangements or circumstances tie you to your home or a particular place.

Tests can come to your home or personal life this year. The responsibilities and demands of domestic life can run high. There can be a feeling that others are not as sympathetic to you, or that they leave you alone to your own defenses during this period. In truth, you are learning how to stand on your own two feet, as well as to meet your responsibilities and to fix whatever it is that you have let slide in the past. At the end of this cycle, you’ll have built a stronger foundation. You’ll see yourself and your family more clearly, and your expectations will be more realistic as a result. It’s a good time to organize and structure your home life, and your mind can unclutter as you simplify things.

You can be filled with desire, or circumstances create a need, for more structure in your home life. This is also a time for the very beginnings of a business project for some, and especially for those with a Scorpio Ascendant. This is a career-building stage. It’s vital that you get your home and personal life into order so that you can move forward feeling rooted and secure. The last time Saturn transited here was from 1991 to early 1994. The very beginnings of a special long-term project/business can emerge in 2020 and 2021.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed:

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

Partnerships
Agreements & Negotiations
Contracts

All year, you’re part of a trend, lasting until 2026, in which partnerships and relationships with others can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You are more attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric or unstable as close partners during this period; or you attract these types of people into your experience. You are learning about giving freedom to others, and this isn’t always easy. Trying to force convention or tradition on partnerships will be a lesson in frustration during this period.

This long-term trend continues until April 2026. This year, you benefit most from it in March and April, when travel, adventure, learning, new ideas, and perspectives can open you up to exciting experiences with someone special. Some of you can be partnering up and publishing or learning something valuable in 2020.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:

Your 2020 Scorpio 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.”

Communications
Transportation
Education
Learning & Sharing Ideas
Intimacy
Finances

Communications, learning, and daily life continue to transform this year. This can be an excellent period for studies, writing, and communicating, although there is a tendency towards intensity that can work against you at times if you’re not careful.

There may be some challenges related to these changes, most notable in September and October, when you may be battling a need for more depth, connection, or intimacy, making it difficult to meet the demands of daily life.

However, 2020 is a powerful time for communications, personal influence, and persuasion. In January, reworking something from the ground up may be necessary, but it can have long-term benefits. The year as a whole is a time for much applause and appreciation from others, however, as well as fabulous rewards for your efforts, particularly from April to November. It’s a good time to write, speak, publish, or guide. You’re moving ahead, embracing your ambitions, and recognizing the need to change, reform, and renovate your projects.

In 2020, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to affect your communications sectors and relate to your perspective, studies, publishing, sharing ideas, and transportation, but you’re moving into a trend that affects income, support, and intimacy. The North Node transits your adventure sector until May, and you continue to benefit greatly from expanding your perspective. One of the major keys to happiness now is learning to reach out and connect beyond your usual bounds. Seek personal growth through expanding your horizons, such as through higher studies, philosophical pursuits, travel, or adventuresome experiences.

Do what you can to learn as much as possible about your trade. There may be an important beginning or culmination in education. If you are in business, a writer, or the like, you might reach a wider audience. Big changes in transportation and mobility may be in the works. You’ll be learning important things, picking up new interests and possibly ending some, and making meaningful discoveries. Changing the ways you communicate and connect may be in order, and can lead to bigger and better things.

Particularly around the June, November, and December eclipses, themes related to shared finances, support, dependency, intimacy, and power dynamics are strong. You’re encouraged to share yourself with others in satisfying ways.

From May forward, you’re challenged to improve your financial picture. Your finances are evolving in important ways in 2020 and will continue to do so in 2021. Dependencies on others are revealed and could feel uncomfortable at first. 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. There is a real need to share yourself with others in empowering and effective ways.
