The Astrology of 2020

Chart your year and plan the next 12 months with this essential astrological guide that combines Kabbalah, Astrology and Mythology. The first part of the book provides you with an outlook of the year 2020 while the second part details the astrological trends for each zodiac sign. What days are good for finance? When are favorable dates for love and relationships? When should you watch your health? When does Mercury Retrograde? What does it mean that 2020 has Venus and Mars retrograde? When are the eclipses and what do they mean?For decades, astrologers and stargazers around the world looked forward as well as dreaded the arrival of the year 2020. While some prophesized disaster (coming from Greek: dis-aster, against the stars), others identified the year as the dawning of a new era. What can we expect from a year whose numerology, 4 and 22, suggests both bereavement and mastery over the mysteries of life? What can we make of the fact that we have six eclipses instead of the usual four with one falling right on the Summer Solstice and another smack on the birthday of the USA? What does it mean to have a "Great Conjunction" of Jupiter and Saturn right on the Winter Solstice? What does it mean that Mercury retrogrades while Venus and Mars also appear to orbit backward? And, most importantly, what should we do about that rare conjunction of Saturn (Lord Karma) and Pluto (Lord of Death)? The last few times this conjunction took place, the AIDS epidemic broke out, the Cold War started, and World War I begun! In Chinese Astrology, 2020 is the Year of the Metal Rat, the first of the animal wheel, the initiator of a new cycle. In addition, Jupiter and Saturn's grand alignment right on the Winter Solstice, the ancient birthday of the gods of light, takes place in Aquarius, the sign of altruism, humanity, and hope. Perhaps this year will be the true dawning of the Age of Aquarius and, with the help of our positive intentions, we can herald a new age of enlightenment, freedom, and equality. Get ready for a grand year and learn how to navigate the signs and synchronicities with this GPS for the soul.
