Areas of Expansion in 2020 for Virgo:

Romance
Creativity
Joy
Self-Expression
Work
Health

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

Until December 18, 2020, your creative, playful, and romantic side continues to expand and develop. This is a powerful time for self-expression, new forms of entertainment, and romantic explorations. This transit began near the end of 2019 and extends until mid-December 2020.

Your focus is now on having a fun time, enjoying life, and expressing yourself in freeing, rewarding ways. Your romantic and creative worlds grow and expand. Your desire to express your unique side and creativity increases. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and you are more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so!

Romantic opportunities tend to abound during this cycle; or chances to kick back and have fun, express yourself in unique ways, and pursue hobbies and entertainment are abundant. Creatively speaking, you can be filled with ideas and plans for realizing a dream.

This can be a fertile time on many levels, physically and emotionally. This influence is associated with casual dating and exploring romantic possibilities more so than binding relationships.

This enhancing, supportive influence is also strong for good fortune with your home and family.

Potential negatives: Excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments. Throughout this transit, you may need to come to a balance between attention to friendships and community and attention to romantic and creative needs.

However, for the most part, you are likely to feel supported and confident during this approximately year-long cycle. A booster occurs from February to October and is a magical influence for your relationships. Creative partnerships might be formed during this period. Partnerships can be enhanced with increased attention to creativity, imagination, and recreation. Another booster occurs from April to November, and it’s powerful for your ambition, drive, and sense of personal power. You can be determined to make something of a creative project, for example. You are also in an excellent position to make positive changes to your life during this period.

Interestingly, these areas of life that are set to expand are the same areas set to contract (see the Areas of Contraction section below). These opposite influences don’t act to cancel the individual influences out. Instead, they coexist and you may get a chance to blend them to your benefit. This can be a productive time when hunkering down or committing can be joyful.

From December 19th onward, your work, daily routines, and health endeavors begin to expand, improve, and grow. This is a time when your work projects or duties expand, or you have increased opportunities for employment. You can be so confident in your ability to take on projects and endeavors, however, that you overload your plate, so do watch for that. Even so, Saturn’s concurrent transit can help keep you in line and productive. This influence is with you for the most part until December 2021.

This influence can play out in a variety of ways depending on your current situation. You find more joy in your work (as long as you don’t overload), self-improvement endeavors, and taking care of your health. If you provide a service to others, it is likely to prosper, largely because you’re enjoying it more. You are especially successful in hiring people to work for you, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. It can be easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle or significantly improve an existing one.

Work tends to be very available to you in the year ahead! You can be very focused on what really matters to get ahead, and recognition for your efforts may be forthcoming.

You are proud of how useful you are to others during this cycle. The more integrity and honesty you bring to your services, the more “payback” you will receive. Health may very well prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, can be more successful than usual. You are bringing fresh and original ideas to the work you do and the services you offer. Overload or the magnification of problems surrounding work can be experienced during this cycle. There is a tendency now to focus on the details of your work, and you might sometimes feel a little overwhelmed with monotonous tasks. There may be an inclination to put on some weight during this period, but watching for a tendency to indulge can help.

Your work might involve more services or the assisting of others during this cycle, and for some, health-related or healing professions can be attractive at this time.

Challenges may occur sporadically during this period with the need for time away from your duties either to take care of yourself or of others requiring care, or the consequences of taking on so much that you have trouble taking time for yourself.

However, for the most part, this is a good time for winning appreciation for what you do or for your skills, enjoying what you do, for finding work, and for working relationships. Something interesting happens at the start of this transit (in December)–Jupiter and Saturn join in your work and health sector, and it’s a time of quite a bit of ambition, common sense, and the ability to materialize your plans. It’s a powerful time for getting started on a healthy lifestyle change or to discipline yourself to get a job done, and done well!

Home and family may be closely tied to work and health during this period, which can mean you are joining with family to improve health, working from home, bringing more organization or order to your home, or other such connections.

Interestingly, these areas of expansion are also subject to contraction (see the section immediately below). These influences don’t cancel themselves out. Instead, they co-exist and they can stir up some wonderful productivity. You may be working hard but thoroughly enjoying it as you do!

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity: Recreation, Romance, Creative Pursuits, Work, Routines, Health

Recreation
Romance
Creative Pursuits
Entertainment
Work
Daily Affairs
Health & Habits

Your Virgo 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 governs creativity, dating and romance, pleasure, children, hobbies, and creative pastimes. 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 transitioning out this year after approximately three years in force. 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 Virgo. This year, those born with an Ascendant of 21 to 30 degrees Virgo and those born from approximately September 14-22 are most directly affected.

Tests can come to your romantic life during this cycle. For those of you who are single, there can be some reluctance to enter into light-hearted romantic relationships. If you do, you do so cautiously, and you are attracted to more mature or stable people during this cycle. Because you are more discriminating now, the pickings might appear to be slim.

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. Those Virgos who are in committed partnerships could find the romantic or fun element of the relationship becomes a strong area of focus during this cycle, for better or for worse. Keeping this aspect of your partnership alive requires work. A romantic partner could feel like a “heavy” at this time, and you might feel restricted in terms of making acquaintances and enjoying other people’s company. For those single and looking, be careful that you don’t project a negative attitude without even realizing it, as this can intimidate some. Those of you who are parents could feel the weight of responsibilities towards children during this cycle. They may require more of your attention now, although this can be rewarding.

However, for many others, this is a time when a relationship stabilizes and it feels great. In fact, this can be a generally more stable or steady time in your life, and this is exactly what you need at the moment.

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 it might 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.

You are particularly ambitious about making changes and improvements in these areas in January. Something seems to need to change or break down before it’s rebuilt. Radical changes can occur, in fact, and you may very well be the one to make the call–love and creativity need a different approach for you to be fulfilled.

You may be solidifying a relationship, combining the responsible and more romantic elements of your interactions very successfully this year.

You can be filled with desire–or circumstances create a need–for more structure in all or any of these areas of life, including children, romance, creativity, and recreation. This can be a truly wonderful time for feeling balanced and steady. Firming up areas of your life that have become wasteful can benefit you in many ways. This can be a good time for realizing a dream or goal, particularly along creative lines. The last time a similar theme occurred was from 1988-1990.

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 work, health, daily routines, employees, pets, and habits. 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 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 Virgo. This year, those born with a Virgo Ascendant of 0 to 2 degrees, and those born from August 23-25, are most directly affected.

Tests can come to work and working relationships during this cycle. Responsibilities in your daily life can weigh heavily – they appear magnified. Do be sure that you are tending to your responsibilities, and not letting them pile up. Some of you might even experience some form of loss or scandal on the work front, or possibly some heavy-handed activity and powerplays with co-workers. However, this is only in extreme cases.

For those of you unhappy with your job or out of work, you are not likely to jump to grab just any position that comes along now. You are looking for something mature, long-term, and reflective of your values. However, because you are more discriminating now, the pickings might seem to be slim.

The monotonous part of your work can seem harder to take, and it’s up to you to work on restructuring enough to make it work for you. Try not to see flaws, complain, and leave it at that. Take it upon yourself to make whatever adjustments you can that will improve your working conditions. The rewards may be slow to transpire, but they’re great when they do come!

This can be true of daily routines, not just working conditions. Health matters might be a little more problematic than usual. Even so, these are likely to be minor problems that can be fixed with extra attention. Essentially, this transit gives you a kick in the pants to get your self-care programs into good shape!

While the work we do may sometimes feel too routine or boring, it can also give us a strong feeling of purpose. We want to be needed, we want to help and support others, and to do our share. If you’ve been overdoing a supportive role, or if you’ve been scattering your energies and haven’t truly noted just how much you do, then Saturn here will stimulate you to tidy up. In the end, you can, in fact, feel more joyful about the services you provide and the support you give, after taking a realistic look at these things and making the necessary adjustments.

Seek ways to balance your activities and responsibilities. This is also an excellent time for simplifying and structuring your life. Because the energy of this theme is comfortable and understandable to you in these areas of life, you may very well welcome the structuring energy of this transit on your daily routines.

Especially in December, you’re determined to make something work and you’re especially capable. Disciplined efforts to advance can pay off now. You are feeling happy to discipline yourself, enjoying your work or health pursuits more as you put in the effort.

Saturn is in another sign that it rules, Aquarius, during this period, and performs fairly well here as a result. The last time Saturn moved through Aquarius was from 1991-early 1994.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: Travel, Mind Expansion, Education, Enlightenment, Discovery, Sharing

Education
Publishing & Sharing
Beliefs & Ideas
Adventure & Travel

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

Good news for you: until 2026, Uranus is in supportive, positive aspect to your sign, suggesting a gentle nudge toward experimenting and connecting with your uniqueness.

All year, you’re in a lengthy period (lasting about seven years!) in which your belief systems and knowledge change and develop. You experience a spiritual awakening of sorts. Travel opportunities may arise, or new topics or adventures, whether physical or menatal, open you up to new experiences.

Learning needs to be exciting or cutting edge for you in order to keep your interest, but while you are less interested in traditional subjects or methods of learning, if you are on an educational path, be sure to “endure” some of these things so that your training is relevant to your career goals. Life experiences are slightly unpredictable and quite exciting. You are embracing change and easily incorporate changes into your personality.

Note that this influence is now consistently with you for many years ahead (until April 2026). It’s a wonderfully supportive, gently stimulating and motivating period. In March and April of this year, you’re in particularly good shape with these themes related to travel, education, or publishing. You may be connecting with friends or groups that inspire and excite you or encourage you to grow and expand your mind and experiences.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation: Love Affairs, Children, Recreation, Friendships

Love Affairs & Romance
Children
Recreation
Hobbies
Friends
Community
Career
Reputation

Your 2020 Virgo 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.”

Love affairs can bring intense personal transformations again this year and beyond. This is a very long-term influence that has already been present in your life for many years and will be with you for many years to come. You may be meeting people who turn you inside out, and through experiences with them, you learn more about your own power over your life. While experience is good – it builds character – protect your heart and your body by employing some caution with new people in your life.

Of course, there can be some periods of friction involved with this evolution, and in 2020, this may be particularly so in January, when there can be some pressure to make things happen, and in October, when strong pulls toward your work or career and responsibilities, with compelling draws towards fun or romantic avenues.

In 2020, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to challenge you to balance your personal life with the community, but only until May.

The North Node influences your sector of friends, groups, community, and happiness goals until May/June. These areas of life will be the source of much joy and interest as you are challenged to make improvements here. Eclipses reinforce this theme. This is a time for exploring your need to connect with a cause, group, or your community. One of the major keys to happiness during this period is learning to team up with others successfully instead of going it alone or pushing too hard to stand out as unique.

From May/June forward, you are challenged to embrace and improve your career, life path, responsibilities, and reputation. You may be called upon to sort out your life plan. This is about discovering your needs to balance professional and personal life. Nurture your desire to feel accomplished and to meet your responsibilities for best results now and through most of 2021.

Your Planetary Ruler in 2020: Mercury, your ruler, travels quickly through the signs, covering a lot of ground in any given year.

Mercury’s retrograde periods are times for reflection and perhaps some backtracking.

In 2020, Mercury retrogrades three times, which is not unusual, and these periods are from February 16 to March 9 (in Pisces and Aquarius), June 18 to July 12 (in Cancer), and then October 13 to November 3 (in Scorpio and Libra). These times require reflection, reassessing issues, and taking things a little more slowly.

More power to you when Mercury is in your sign, and in 2020, this occurs from August 20-September 5. Your ruler is also in especially good shape January 1-2, January 8-11, and May 4-10.

*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.
