Going into 2020 there are all sorts of things we want to work on. We’ve all set goals, some of us have set new year’s resolutions and we plan to keep them, even if this might be challenging. From an Astrological perspective here’s what we feel each sign needs to be working on going into the new year.
Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)
Do less, you’re already doing enough if not too much. It’s okay to slow your roll. You need to work on not letting everything stress you out or take you to an angry or aggressive place. You know that place where you can just feel yourself reverting into a bitch or an asshole. Don’t take your frustrations out on other people. Talk about what is bothering you. Learn to relax. Take a load off, enjoy the moment of things. Not everything has to be planned or organized. You don’t always have to know the direction which you are headed, as long as you are going somewhere, who cares. Throw caution to the wind this year, and let yourself feel a sense of freedom you’ve never felt before.
You could afford to give up some control. You don’t always need to drive. Let someone else take the responsibility instead, sometimes you work too hard. A little excitement in your life couldn’t hurt, in fact, it helps quite a lot, like knowing you are going away or have something fun planned to look forward to.

Some of you, well a lot of you, have that stubborn streak, don’t be afraid to let go, and just give up. Sometimes it’s not worth the fight. You’re better off staying in situations that keep you level headed because you don’t want to end up like a Bull in a china shop. That could be dangerous. If something or someone irritates you, don’t force yourself to be around this person or this place. You know you need to feel comfortable to feel okay so don’t put off meeting your personal needs.
You might want to get your affairs in order, some of you are so flaky. One minute you’re doing this, the next minute you’re that—it can be hard to keep up with you. Sometimes it can be hard to trust you, be careful about what you say about who–it may come back to bite you in the ass. Telling the truth is also on the table. Firstly, it is most important that you are honest with yourself, really know who you are and what you want. When we’re good in this department, Gemini can do great things. It’s just bad when Gemini is being pushed and pulled into multiple directions. They may enjoy the stimulation, but in the long term, it is not good for them.
You might want to work on your moods this year and trying to stay in a good one. A lot of Cancers can get down easily, and they need comforts to lift their spirits. Cancer is the crabby crab by nature, and they’ve got the dry humor to go along with it. Cancer has to work on not letting little things set them off, but at the same time work on not letting big things destroy their world. Cancer is very sensitive to whatever is going on in their life right now, especially to their environment. Cancer just needs to stay chill, and feel loved. They need to excel at something they are good at and feel a sense of self-satisfaction.
Try to do more things on your own and for yourself, and by yourself. Leo is often with people, someone, friends, they need to learn to love their own company. They also need to learn to express themselves, particularly the male Leos, they need to direct the issues in their life head-on. They need to stop worrying about being nice all the time and tell people how they feel. Leo also needs to be open to getting negative feedback from others. As much as they’d like it, things can’t always be peaceful, and once in awhile their going to have taken some smack.
Virgo could work on being less critical and less judgmental. Virgo often sees things in black and white, and this is something they need to work on. Play in the grey matter a little more. Loosen up. Relax. Enjoy yourself, stay a minute, have a good time. Virgo can have their reservations, but once they feel comfortable they will start to contribute. Compliment people while you can, and try to see the best in others before you see the worst. There are some shady people in this world, but not everyone is one of them.
We would love it, Libra, if you could make up your mind. You leave things in the air for too long that often it is too late. Don’t let it be too late with someone or something that really matters. Follow your heart, and stop listening to your indecisive head. Figure it out, whatever it is, whatever end that’s still loose, figure it out. Your next career move, your plans for the future, where you’re going to live, figure it out. Whatever the problem is, figure it out, don’t let it fester. It’s good to play it cool but sometimes you play it too cool that you miss out on opportunities, relationships, and experiences. If your body is talking to you, and it’s telling you yes, then jump into more experiences and take a more decisive approach.
How long have you been holding grudges? Are you ever prepared to forgive? Scorpio really values trust so when their trust is broken, they don’t function well. They will flat out ignore you and cut off all ties. Scorpio could value from learning to forgive people and give them second chances, seeing as it’s the human condition to mess up. Scorpio can be hardcore, and also black and white, they will easily lose interest in you if you do one bad thing. Relationships were meant to have their ups and downs, and Scorpio has to adapt to the realization that people aren’t perfect, but they still care.
Sometimes you like to tell other people how to live and act like you’re superior, and most people find it really annoying. Focus on yourself. Don’t think we can’t see your flaws, they are there. Focus on being more compassionate to others, and saying positive things. Don’t be so anal, not everything has to be done a certain way, relinquish control. You don’t always have to be in charge. Learn to listen to others and don’t just wait for your turn to talk. Other people matter just as much as you do.
Stop working so hard. Aren’t you tired yet? Where do you get your energy? Take some time to really process what it is that you want this year, what can you do for your inner spirit to help let it breathe? Stop seeking validation from people. You don’t always need someone to tell you “good job”, “you look good”, or “it was good. “Do things for others because you want to, but don’t seek their approval. Their approval does not determine your greatness. Work does not define your inner spirit, you do. Seek happiness in moments, in others, in places and people not in materials, or ceremony. Remember that not everything has to be perfect, it’s okay to make mistakes, and your flaws are what make you beautiful. They are what make you unique and what make you, you!
Sometimes your undivided attention is needed, and you are somewhere else when needed. You can be aloof. Always you are friendly, so sometimes your focus can be on meeting new people when it should be on hanging with your family more. Sometimes you might give attention to someone from the opposite or same-sex in a harmless flirtatious way, it’s not to say that you’d do anything but this is something that you could do and should be aware of. Aquarius will usually have close friends from the opposite sex.
You’ve got a bit of an addictive personality, so there’s something you need to give up whether it’s the drinking or the smoking, the shopping or online poker playing—something’s got to give. You care too much about what other people think, and what’s going on in other people’s lives, you need to just focus on yourself because chances are you’re behind in the life goal department. Meaning, you still have some growing up to do. You’re probably a bit messy or disorganized so you might want to tend to that, and get this self-care game going hard. Not just the gym, but the internal work too, check in with yourself emotionally, document your progress, ensure that you are headed in the right direction.
