The following are alternate horoscopes written by a different author for all signs for the month ahead:
Monthly Horoscopes January 2020
Aries (March 21st - April 19th)
Your status in the world changes this year with planets lined up the 10th House of your Solar Chart. Your profession, role as a parent or grandparent, marriage and any position held in society is highlighted early in the year. It is time for action. Fortunately, you are an action-oriented person and well and truly able to rise to any challenge. The trick is to set your goals and keep moving forward. The steps that you take in January ensure that you slowly but surely improve your status in society as the year progresses. You received an extra boost of energy when your ruling planet Mars moves into your Zodiac Sign mid-year, on June 28.
Taurus (April 20th - May 20th)
The line-up of planets prompts you to seek more adventure in 2020. You may plan to broaden your horizons with overseas travel, study, or involvement in sporting interests. Anything that lifts your spirits and focuses you on the bigger picture is likely to appeal. Many planets are in your fellow Earth Sign Capricorn this year, as well as the erratic Uranus in Taurus indicating that it is time for action. You are being propelled out of your usual comfort zones. The trick is to think of life as being like a Disney fun park. This way you can embrace the excitement rather than feel daunted by any challenges and make most of the current planetary placements.
Gemini (May 21st - June 20th)
The cycle of life is a theme for 2020. You are well aware at the start of the year that ‘seasons comes and seasons go”. An event or person may trigger this awareness early in the year, or it may be a result of many realisations last year. Either way you feel compelled to make changes to the way that you invent your time, energy and money. Luckily you are an adaptable person, often revelling in the stimulation that comes with life changes, able to catch or dodge curve balls and revel in life’s celebrations. A Lunar Eclipse in your Zodiac Sign at the end of the year – November 30 – sparks the final realisation of this part of your life journey.
Cancer (June 21st - July 22nd)
Planets are passing through Capricorn, your opposite Sign, keeping the focus well and truly on significant others in your life. Nevertheless, the emphasis needs to be on self-care and heartfelt support of loved ones, rather than any feelings of obligation. Imagine if others were only with you, or nurturing you, because of a strong sense of duty. You wouldn’t like it. So, the planets are calling on you to listen to your heart and act accordingly. This is not selfish behaviour. You are a natural nurturer. As such if you do cut ties with some, you quickly form more lasting unions based on love. A Solar Eclipse in your Zodiac Sign occurs on June 21, 2020 highlighting a significant event, person or “aha” moments.
Leo (July 23rd - August 22nd)
New Year’s Resolutions, even if they are soon broken, set an intention for the year. Leos need to set resolutions around lifestyle. This means habits. Social scientists say that habits are formed in the emotional part of the brain. So, Leos need to examine emotional needs, form good habits and healthy lifestyles during January as a precursor for the rest of the year. Your workaday life is also important. So, you may like to examine your work/life balance or perhaps develop new skills that enhance your attractiveness as an employee or effectiveness as an employer. Starting 2020 with a healthy attitude sets you up for success, particularly later in the year in March and mid-December when Saturn goes into your opposing Zodiac Sign of Aquarius.
Virgo (August 23rd - September 22nd)
January starts the new year and also something new in the lives of Virgos. This may be linked with a creative project, or perhaps an activity or event associated with children. You may even be ready for a new romance. Whatever your personal scenario, 2020 is an exciting year with so many planets lining up in your fellow Earth Sign of Capricorn. This is the ideal time for start-ups. Finances will be of major concern to most people this year and Virgos are likely to prosper simply because you can keep on doing what you have always been doing – living a frugal life, living within your means and perhaps growing your own produce. Slow living suits you and augurs well in current times.
Libra (September 23rd - October 22nd)
Librans start the year with an action-packed home life as the planets square off in Capricorn. It is time to get your household in order, if you haven’t already. This could mean that you have visitors galore, that your family life changes with the addition or departure of a key member, or it could simply mean that you have chores that demand a focus on household management. Your usual peace-loving ways may be challenged by this extra activity. However, you know the value of home as a haven and are likely to delight in the company of loved ones as they gather around. As you establish your foundations early in the year you are putting in the groundwork for the rest of 2020.
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)
Neighbourhoods were once the hubs of social interaction with people meeting face-to-face. Nowadays social media has taken a stronger hold. You realise the value of personal interaction and are likely to be focussed on local affairs at the start of 2020. Something or someone is calling on you to connect with your neighbours, a local group or local politics during January. This may set the scene for the year. Another possibility is that your siblings have taken centre stage temporarily, or that short journeys and local transport are the focus. Whatever your personal scenario your connections to your immediate environment need attention. Clear communication is the key. Avoid conflict over money matters stands you in good stead.
Sagittarius (November 22nd - December 21st)
Sagittarians need to slow down after a busy 2019, however; there is still plenty of planetary action in 2020. It is time to take stock of your self-worth. This could be self-esteem, how much you value your own contribution to society, or it could be your finances. Is it time to work smart or work hard for your income? Further changes may be required as you re-evaluate a busy 2019. A Lunar Eclipse on June 6 sheds some light on personal matters and a Solar Eclipse next December 15, 2020 sparks an event that rewards your efforts. The trick is to consolidate on steps taken in 2019 and keep moving in the right direction until then.
Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)
2020 may be the Chinese Year of the Rat but it is certainly the western astrology ‘Year of the Goat’ with so many planets lined up in your Zodiac Sign. Capricorns are living examples of the adage “all good things come to those who wait’. You can move from strength to strength building on anything that boosts your personal health and happiness. Some of the astrological weather of 2020 depends on your past behaviour. In other words, Karma is at play now. If you have worked slowly and steadily towards personal and professional goals, shouldering your responsibilities then you are likely to reap big rewards this year. January is a power packed month with a Lunar Eclipse in your Sign which leads the way to a significant year.
Aquarius (January 20th - February 18th)
Aquarians need to start 2020 slowly, laying the ground work for projects that are likely to start up later in the year. January sees you working behind the scenes. The Sun is in the 12th House of your Solar Chart indicating that institutions such as hospitals, the armed forces, museums and perhaps also prisons and outback stations. Large animals are also linked with this area of astrology. So, these areas of life may be prominent in your life at the start of the year. Your ruling planet Saturn moves in and out of your Zodiac Sign this year indicating that you are working towards something significant. Experiences early in the year, whether pleasant or unpleasant, are likely to prove worthwhile in the long term.
Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)
Your long-term friendships play a positive role in your life right now. Groups and clubs may also be highlighted. It is time to set long-term goals and then garner the support that is needed. If friendship groups need to change then let go and reach out to new ones. The idea is that as a sensitive Piscean you need to surround yourself with social contacts who are positive, uplifting and inspiring. You are too sensitive to be adversely influenced by other people. The year 2020 gives you a chance to get the balance right. The trick is to learn the lesson of self-love as one of your ruling planets, Neptune, continues to wend its way through your Zodiac Sign.
Monthly Horoscopes December 2019
Aries (March 21st - April 19th)
It’s a big picture month for the Rams of the Zodiac. In other words, it is time to stop sweating the details, if you ever have, and focus on a world view. What is your belief about the world at large? What are your own spiritual or religious beliefs? Is Global warming a real issue? These are the types of queries that are at the forefront this month. It’s time to use your initiative and natural leadership skills and help others. This may involve healing, either healing your own past hurts or helping others overcome doubt and hardship.
Taurus (April 20th - May 20th)
As a Taurus you like consistency. The only consistent message that exists for you at the moment is “change”. This is not something that comes easily. However, as other Signs of the Zodiac know change can be refreshing. The trick is to discover which areas of your life need a makeover and to embrace the challenge. It is likely that the alterations required are connected with self-improvement, health and lifestyle matters. Look on the positive side. Change is as good as a holiday, so the saying goes. Perhaps you can book a life-changing holiday?
Gemini (May 21st - June 20th)
Whenever the Sun sets its course for your opposite Sign Sagittarius you are able to charter a new course, often influenced by someone nearest and dearest. This year is no exception. The time has come for some future goal setting, an overseas vacation to be booked or perhaps a spiritual retreat planned. You may be busy now but it’s important to set your intent to make changes to your lifestyle. Health and happiness are integrally related. You need to listen to messages that are being related by a personal or business partner. Taking note now saves problems later.
Cancer (June 21st - July 22nd)
The planets are strongly aligned in Capricorn, your opposing Sign indicating that other people need your tender loving care right now. You are being asked to take a more practical approach right now. It may be difficult to put your emotions to one side, but this is your challenge. Capricorn is a logical Sign. Can you be more pragmatic this month? You may feel that something is simmering under the surface, something that you can’t quite understand at the start of the month. An Eclipse on December 26 (AEDT), once again in Capricorn, sheds light.
Leo (July 23rd - August 22nd)
Your workaday life has been the focus recently, and continues to be during most of December. However, all work and no play makes for a dull life. You need to find ways to make your daily life more fun. This could mean taking a break after an Eclipse that occurs on December 26 (AEDT) or you could find ways to spark up your days. If nothing else try taking a different route to work, adding a bunch of flowers or a candle to your work place or entertaining your colleagues with a daily funny story. Small pets can also brighten your day.
Virgo (August 23rd - September 22nd)
So many planets are in your fellow Earth Sign Capricorn which augurs well for a productive month. The Sun is sitting in the 4th House of your Solar Chart indicating a strong connection with home and family. Hence this is the ideal month to catch up on housework, enjoy family events or perhaps indulge in some recreational cooking or gardening. You may also have a significant association with a child, or children, this month particularly around December 26 when a Solar Eclipse occurs in the 5th House of your Solar Chart.
Libra (September 23rd - October 22nd)
Home and family are your anchor this month, however; you also need to connect with others. Neighbours, siblings and extended family all feature. If you have been meaning to take a short trip, attend a neighbourhood meeting, catch up with a sibling, write emails, make calls or pen a bestseller then this is the month to get started as the Sun is sitting in the 3rd House of your Solar Chart. The 3rd House is all about communication. So, reaching out to others through any form of connection be it word-of-mouth or travel is important.
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)
A tidy house is a tidy mind could be your motto during December. For various reasons it is an ideal month during which to put your house in order. You have a message to communicate and the best way to get started is to put your foundations right, and perhaps to establish a home study or office. A trip to the stationery shop may provide some much-needed amusement. Be careful not to spend too much money. Money matters are likely to receive a boost, but only if you ensure that your income is more than your expenditure.
Sagittarius (November 22nd - December 21st)
A very busy year slows down, or should do if you listen to the messages from the planets. Your ruling planet Jupiter moves out of your Sign on December 3 into slow and steady Capricorn. This heralds a time to consolidate changes that have occurred during 2019. An Eclipse on December 26 is likely to highlight what you can let go of and what needs to be maintained. Money is likely to influence your decision. As the Sun traverses your Zodiac Sign you can take a moment or two to celebrate your achievements and reassess your goals.
Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)
Your Zodiac Sign is brimming with planets right now. Not only that but there is a Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on December 26. What does this all mean? Well it is certainly your time to reap a few rewards from the challenges that have faced you in recent times, particularly if you have tackled these responsibilities with integrity. Capricorn is all about slow and steady achievement. So, keep going. More work is required and more rewards are coming. Adopting spiritual practices that encourage patience, compassion and simplicity. Others are likely to need your guidance in these matters in the year to come.
Aquarius (January 20th - February 18th)
It is time to connect with friends, or groups and clubs, that support your own hopes, dreams and wishes. Recent changes may have given you more time to pursue your own interests. So, fill your calendar and start socialising. Most Aquarians love a good cause whether it be environment, local or global politics or something else close to your heart. What is yours? How do you want to be of use to humanity? You now have the opportunity to answer these questions, renew your faith in a cause and move forward.
Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)
Your professional life is highlighted during December. While others may be winding down for a Christmas break, depending on where you live, you are ramping up. Perhaps your career makes extra demands this month. Alternatively, you may be seeking more recognition, training or a promotion within your chosen profession. It is also possible that your marital status is the source of extra attention for various reasons now. Whatever your personal scenario you are able to move forward on your chosen path. Satisfaction, dedication and enjoyment are to be sought.
Monthly Horoscopes November 2019
Aries (March 21st - April 19th)
Looking back is not your usual modus operandi. You are a go forward at full throttle type of person. Nevertheless, this month is about looking over your shoulder just to make sure that you are not dragging matters from the past along with you now. Memories, dreams and flashbacks are all signals that you might need to do a bit of emotional housekeeping. This can be a profound period during which symbols and synchronicity play a big part. Compromise and strategy are also required now with your ruling planet Mars in your opposing Sign of Libra.
Taurus (April 20th - May 20th)
When the Sun moves into Scorpio, your opposing Sign, then other people become the focus. It is time to negotiate your way through tricky waters within a key personal or business partnership. Scorpio is the Sign of emotional intelligence and deep waters. Therefore strategy, tact and an intimate understanding of the issues involved are called for this month. You may need to start with greater awareness of your own needs, before you can commit to another person or business contract. You are in the long-term process of learning to adapt as the planet Uranus traverses Taurus.
Gemini (May 21st - June 20th)
Lifestyle matters are the forefront this month. This means everything that you do on a daily basis. As the saying goes, habits form behaviour, behaviour forms character. What habits do you need to change? Do you need to eat more healthily? Exercise more? Tidy your living or work space? These are the matters that need attention now. The minutiae rather than the big picture. If you think of photography then it is time to change the telephoto lens to a macro. Observe the details that need to be altered.
Cancer (June 21st - July 22nd)
It is time to access your inner child. What does that mean? Play, fun, freefalling without a care in the world. Think creatively. What can you do that is fulfilling in the freest sense of the word? If someone gave you a million dollars what would you do with your time? The answer to these questions gives you the impetus to plant some seeds this month. If you have been too busy looking after those who rely on you then you may not instantly have the answers. November then becomes a time to explore possibilities.
Leo (July 23rd - August 22nd)
This time of the year is usually one in which you need to get your house in order. This can mean anything from tidying and redecorating to repairing and renovating. Your house, and perhaps also your housemates, need attention. If your job requires you to work away from home then you need to maintain a strong connection to where you belong. Otherwise you may feel a little lost without your usual comforts. Homesickness is a strange phenomenon and can teach much about your true feelings. Family comes first this month.
Virgo (August 23rd - September 22nd)
Your ruling planet Mercury has turned Retrograde indicating that this is a month during which you may have second thoughts about many areas of your life, but most particularly matters connected to your immediate neighbourhood and relatives, such as siblings. It is time to question whether your critical thoughts hold truth. Behind every person is a story, one that requires understanding and compassion not judgment. The same can be said for yourself. You need to soften, rather than lower, your standards.
Libra (September 23rd - October 22nd)
November starts with a little self-reflection as you ask yourself what people, projects and plans are worthwhile. This gives you the impetus to discard what is no longer worthy and to move forward with a lighter load. By November 25, when your ruling planet combines with the effervescent Jupiter, you are ready to leap forward in many areas of your life, but particularly in key relationships. You are lucky in love and money as long as you remain true to yourself. You need to know your own worth before others recognise it.
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)
November sees a boost in your personal income which in turn sees you focus on your own health and happiness. The planets are lined up in a way that suggests meaningful exchanges that boost your self-esteem and your financial health. The planet of communication, Mercury, is Retrograde in your Sign. Therefore, you do need to think carefully before you speak, write or accept a contract. Nevertheless, careful planning at the start of the month heralds success by the end when Mercury heads forward again.
Sagittarius (November 22nd - December 21st)
November is often a time during which the Archers of the Zodiac need to slow their pace and recharge the batteries ready for another gallop forward. This year is no different. Like many of your Zodiacal colleagues you need to re-evaluate your activities. In your case the planet Jupiter has given you plenty of opportunities this year. Now you need to assess your priorities. As much as you would like an endless stream of energy even your fiery enthusiasm has limits. So where to next? What are your most important goals? And can you narrow the options down a little?
Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)
Self-development continues to be a theme as the planets Pluto and Saturn wend their way slowly through your Zodiac Sign with any indication of relief yet. These are serious times for Capricorns with not much light relief. The trick is to keep your eye on the end game. This is not instant gratification but rather all good things come to those who endure and wait. Your endurance and patience pay great dividends in the near future when lucky Jupiter moves into your Sign. So, take a deep breath knowing that the end is in sight.
Aquarius (January 20th - February 18th)
Your status improves in November. You receive recognition for your achievements in your professional life or in a group or club. It is possible that you are promoted either at work, or to an office bearer’s role in a club. Planets are high in your Solar Chart placing you high in your public roles. In some cases, your relationship with authority figures such as parents, bosses or government officials could also be highlighted. You can make the most of the high esteem in which you are held to further your own professional goals.
Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)
At long last the planet Neptune, to which all Pisceans are tied, is turning direct heralding happier times. A dreamer at heart, you can now move forward with a plan or project that is close to your heart. This may be connected to the arts, philanthropy or spiritual pursuits. Your patience is about to be rewarded. This is not an overnight success matter, but rather something that you can now gradually move forwards, rather than experiencing frustrating delays. You still need to be sensitive to everyone’s part in your vision.

The Moon is at her most optimistic and upbeat in Sagittarius. We are motivated by a need to seek the truth, and we are ready to pursue a new vision. We are not interested in details just now. Instead, we focus on the big picture. New experiences and adventures satisfy a deep emotional need. Spontaneity is the key. We may also be inclined toward overdoing and overstating. We don't want to plan ahead, and prefer to "wing it".
The Moon in Sagittarius generally favors the following activities: Adventurous activities that involve "winging it", travel, higher education, starting publishing projects, advertising, sports, physical activity.
