Areas of Expansion in 2020 for Taurus:
Your Taurus 2020 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.
- Beliefs
- Education
- Publishing
- Travel
- Career
- Status
- Reputation
Until December 18, 2020, your belief systems, learning experiences, and hunger for adventure continue to develop, grow, and expand at a rapid pace. You are feeling more courageous and spirited as you sense that there is more “out there” for you to learn and take in. This transit is a happy one, although it can seem subtle since it runs so smoothly!
This is a time in your life when you don’t sweat the small stuff as much as you normally do. You see the broader perspective on life, and you generally feel supported, so that smaller inconveniences don’t stress you out quite as easily. Your positive outlook is notable during this cycle. Learn as much as you can now, in preparation for the next cycle beginning in December 2020 that puts your career on center stage. You’ll want to be prepared!
Your views on life in a broad sense are changing, growing, and maturing. Connections with faraway cultures, people, or a broader knowledge base can open up opportunities to grow personally. Teaching and sharing knowledge can be in strong focus. It’s a good time for publishing, writing, and media.
You might consider fine-tuning your talents and skills with higher education or experience during this thirteen-month cycle.
New learning experiences as well as “life” experiences (travel, adventures, contacts with others of a vastly different culture than yours, and so forth) are likely to emerge. Over the course of the coming year, you might have the opportunity to reach a broader audience. You might choose to learn a new language or take on other interesting studies.
From February to October, you get special support from friends and associations, or you are particularly inspired to grow, improve, explore, discover, and move outside of your comfort zone. Another influence overlaps and happens from April to November: you get a power boost forward that motivates you to learn something new or explore new ideas and/or places. Ambition increases, and so does enjoyment of what you’re doing and where you’re headed! This is a good time for feeling both motivated and inspired. People and experiences outside of your norm can affect or inspire you. You’re also no longer tolerant of procrastination or denial–you recognize your desire to grow, improve, and transform now.
This can be a time when you make friends in faraway places or who have vastly different backgrounds or perspectives than you and who enrich your life during this empowering cycle. You’re likely to enjoy opportunities to expand your experiences and to impress others. Education can be transformative now, leading to important opportunities.
From December 19th onward, Jupiter has now climbed to the top of your solar chart. Your ambitions, career, business goals, and reputation are blossoming, developing, and growing. Your talents and skills are recognized in wonderful ways, and in ways that you haven’t experienced for at least the last twelve years. All of the hard work you’ve put in begins to pay off and is rewarded – or at the very least, recognized. This influence will continue for most of 2020.
You are in the limelight in some way during this cycle. Although it’s a great period for expansion and recognition on a professional level, and you should take advantage of it, choose your projects carefully. Don’t take on more than you can handle. Watch also for gossip or mishandling of information. Be wary of situations that could get blown out of proportion or misunderstood. While Jupiter bestows gifts, these can be wasted if we go to great excess. As well, because Jupiter, which rules expansion, is in Saturn’s sign, which rules contraction, it’s best not to go overboard.
This can be a time of significant progress in the outer world, a fortunate change in status, and increased recognition.
With this transit, there are several possible scenarios that depend on your particular situation. Your hard work and effort can be recognized now. You could find yourself in a position that truly suits you. You take great pride in the work you do. For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now. You can be quite charismatic in a position of authority or responsibility. Advancement in achieving an important goal can occur now. Your reputation may be enhanced in some significant way. You have more faith in your goals and aspirations during this period of your life.
This is a time when believing in yourself, your competency, and your ability to take the lead opens up opportunities for you. For the most part, you are likely to take advantage of this period in your life in order to expand your reach. You’re in a period in which you find considerably more joy in your work or feel particularly good about where you’re heading.
You might also be managing others’ money, talents, or resources in some manner during this trend. You are especially intuitive, strategic, and smart with plans at this time, helping you advance towards your goals.
Your worldly or public status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma, an important award, or marriage — something official.
This can be a time for coming into the limelight in a significant way. Authority figures or other influential people tend to look upon you favorably, see more potential in you, and readily help you along, so work it! Something might happen now, or circumstances are such, that your career (or professional interests in general) expands, and you find more joy and pleasure from your work. You could enjoy more freedom, or possibly even responsibilities, in your career. Either way, it’s a move for the better in your mind. Integrity, directness, and honesty will get you everywhere now. The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards–this is not the time to be a shrinking violet!
In December particularly as Jupiter and Saturn align at the top of your solar chart, there can be the chance to clinch a project or job or to handle a responsibility. There can be a career peak of sorts happening now.
Interestingly, while this influence encourages you to expand, grow, and reach for the stars in the areas of career, you’ll see that another theme in your life, explored below (in the Areas of Contraction section), encourages the opposite. This can help you come to a productive balance. Ideally, you don’t swing between expanding and contracting.
Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:
Your Taurus 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.
- Beliefs
- Education
- Worldview
- Travel
- Career
- Life Path
- Reputation
Until March 21, 2020, and from July 1st to December 16th, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach involve the sector of your solar chart that rules higher learning, belief systems, travel, and adventurous experiences. 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, however, will endure and strengthen further.
This influence leaves your life in December of 2020 and is essentially wrapping up this year after sticking around for a few years now. You’ll feel it most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Taurus. In 2020, it impacts those with Sun in Taurus born from May 12th forward or with an Ascendant of 21-30 degrees of Taurus. However, it’s an influence that’s just happened or is up and coming for some of you, and “in orb” for the third decan of Taurus — in other words, relevant for all Taureans.
Tests can come to your belief system or learning endeavors during this cycle. The need for reliable, solid, practical training can become very apparent now. You might scrutinize the belief system that you have held to date, and question your faith – in others, in yourself, and in life itself. You are seeking out practical and workable solutions to problems.
You might find that your ability to leisure-travel or engage in higher learning is limited during this period, for whatever reason. Travel may be for business purposes only. You may not be as adventurous, preferring to stick around home and your neighborhood, or perhaps for some, stuck there. This can also be a period of teaching others what you have learned.
The term of this transit is one of greater realism and practicality. You feel more capable of meeting your responsibilities. Life feels robust and stable, and the benefits of this influence are likely to be felt most strongly when Saturn officially forms a trine to your Sun or Ascendant. You are likely to enjoy many opportunities to set your life in order. Saturn is in very good shape, transiting in harmony to your sign and also transiting the area of your solar chart that it rules.
This is also a valuable time for the learning and study of practical skills and brushing up on your knowledge. You’re challenged to look at life and your future more realistically and practically. There can be important accomplishments in publishing or education for many of you.
This year in January, sharing ideas and beliefs can be gratifying and rewarding. Boosting a key relationship through shared activities or finding a key relationship through learning or activities outside of the usual bounds can figure strongly.
From March 22nd to June 30th and December 17th forward, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach involve the sector of your solar chart that rules career, reputation, responsibilities, long-term goals, and your life path. This is the most public area of your chart. It depends on your age or the current stage of your life, this area of your solar chart relates more to your career path or your responsibilities and public life. Authority figures are ruled by this sector of the chart as well. Again depending on your current circumstances, these can be parents, bosses, managers, the government, and teachers.
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. You can help this process along by actively strengthening vulnerable areas.
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 is felt more strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Taurus. In 2020, those most directly affected by this transit are those born from approximately April 20-22 and those with an Ascendant of 0 to 2 degrees Taurus.
During this cycle, your career requires critical decisions and choices. Major projects may come to fruition, and this can be a time for reaping their rewards, but there can be some disappointment now as well if you haven’t achieved what you wanted to accomplish. You are certainly more accountable for what you have and haven’t done.
Projects that you have been working on behind the scenes or that you’ve left unfinished might come to fruition, or you could be using them to further your career. Your career might involve more altruistic goals or helping others could figure strongly. You may need to employ some caution with regards to elements from your past, as these might come before the public eye in some way during this cycle.
You may acquire a higher position now, and you are likely to feel the weight of increased responsibilities that come with it. There can be issues to handle with a parent or parent figure, or a boss/authority figure in your life.
While this period can be a tad difficult at times, particularly when Saturn forms a square to your Sun or Ascendant, there are some dazzling spots, making it a rewarding period overall, particularly if you focus more on long-term benefits and less on short-term frustrations.
In December, Saturn meets Jupiter in this area of your chart, and you can reach a career peak of sorts. It’s a fine time to show the world what you can do. Successes can be realized now. A project at which you’ve been working hard can culminate.
Saturn is in another sign that it rules, Aquarius, during this period, and performs well here as a result. The last time Saturn moved through Aquarius was from 1991-early 1994. Many of you (especially those with a Taurus Ascendant – What’s My Ascendant?) will enjoy a career peak of sorts at some point during this cycle — this is a time of achievement, accomplishment, harvest, recognition, and the taking on of new responsibilities. If you’ve cut corners, however, this can be a time of dealing with those consequences and making things right.
Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed:
Your 2020 Taurus Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.
- Spirituality
- the Past
- Private Life
- Personality
- Independence
All year, you are compelled to make changes. This exciting transit lasts a total of approximately seven years. For now, you’re feeling the beginning rumbles of change.
The image you present to the world and your personality begin to change quite rapidly now and in the years ahead. You are embracing change, pushing yourself beyond your normal limits, expressing your independent streak, and taking a few personal risks.
Potential negatives: While personal changes are necessary and perhaps inevitable, foolish risk-taking and pointless rebellion are not! You don’t need to throw away everything from your past or totally clean your slate in order to express your independence. Tame your urges to rebel if it’s just for the sake of it, or to prove something to the world. Answer your instincts rather than simply react to others if you feel restricted or confined.
Otherwise, this is a time for discovering your own unique path, and you may be making a bit of a splash as you forge ahead. Your sign has a reputation for being quite content and easygoing, as you tend to seek out harmony, sometimes at all costs. However, this new theme in your life suggests you won’t risk feelings of being confined, limited, or unauthentic just for some measure of peace.
Changing your career path can be in focus now, and it affects your sense of freedom and the expression of your personality. For some, becoming your own boss can be in focus.
Particularly in March, new interests or studies can be especially beneficial for you, pushing you forward.
Tauruses most affected by this transit in 2020 are those born April 22nd to April 30th and those with a Taurus Ascendant of 2-11 degrees Taurus.
Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:
Your 2020 Taurus 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.”
- Beliefs
- Travel
- Attitudes & Outlook
- Communications
- Transportation
- Studies
- Money/Finances
Attitudes, belief systems, and learning continue to transform this year. You may be purging some of the beliefs or attitudes that no longer work for you. There can be a wonderful exposure to a new perspective, lifestyle, or culture. Some of you might publish creative work and meet with success.
You are in excellent shape for boosting your life experiences or studies, particularly from April to November. Opportunities to explore the world or expand your experiences emerge. Meeting people or studying new ideas or topics can be life-changing.
In 2020, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse sets mainly occur in your communications and money sectors. Until May, you have a genuine need to reach out, connect, make contact, learn, and communicate, as these things can bring wonderful benefits and much joy to your life now. From May onward, building a solid income or boosting your resources becomes both a challenge and a rewarding experience.
You are learning to ask for what you deserve and to take charge of your earnings. From May forward and throughout 2021, there is a real need to manage your income, resources, valuables, and talents, as well as great benefits for doing so.
Your Planetary Ruler in 2020: Venus is your planetary ruler. Venus is retrograde from May 13th to June 25th, 2020. (Keep in mind there are preamble and hangover periods involved with this, and to be cautious, consider the dates from April 9th to July 29th). This is not an ideal time for new endeavors, beginnings, or launches, but is useful for looking back and learning from the past. Rest, reflect, and reconsider.
More power to you when your ruler is in your sign, and in 2020, this period is from March 5th to April 3rd, and Venus is forming some beautiful aspects to outer planets throughout this period–a brilliant time for you.

*Note: Why are Sun sign dates approximate? Because the beginning and end dates and times vary slightly from year to year. So, for example, the start date of Taurus can be April 20th, 1999, at 8:48 AM Eastern, but the next year, Taurus begins on April 19th, 2000, at 2:39 PM Eastern.
