COLOURS OF ASTROLOGY

October - December 2020

By Ann McVeigh

TIMELINE FOR FORECAST: October, November, December 2020

COLOUR FOCUS: Black

NUMEROLOGY: 2020 = Number 4 Year

RULING PLANET: Uranus Destruction Clearing, Darkest before the dawn, and Spiritual Blessings.

This is a general western Astrological forecast for the next few months.

Mars is in Aries, in its home sign but is in Retrograde September 9th to November 13th in Aries, with a war like energy. It’s not happily in Retrograde (when a planet is appearing to move backwards) here, energy is hard to come by, especially for men and with everything dying at this time of year in the Northern hemisphere we are not without hope. Have you got your plan in place for 2021?

October 1st is the Full Moon in Aries, and on the 2nd Venus goes into Virgo, connected to Olive green, love and money is hard work. Mercury Retrogrades in Scorpio until October 13th and then back to Libra October 28th to November 10th.

This is not the best time to buy technology or sign documents. The New Moon in Libra on the 16th, the Sun goes into Scorpio on the 22nd. Venus enters Libra on the 27th where it is its happiest and balance is restored. Love, money, romance, justice prevails.

Colour is soft pink and powder blue. Full Moon in Taurus October 31st on Halloween which makes 2 full moons in a month, and they say it’s a blue moon in this case, a Harvest moon. This will be a time when we fear “will there be enough food” - a feeling of physical discomfort. Dress up for Halloween whether you go out or not, take some selfies and post them online, it might just make someone’s day.

On November 3rd Mercury goes direct bringing communication forward in Scorpio and the New moon in Scorpio is definitely the time to pull out your Black

Lace Dress. On the 15th Jupiter conjunct Pluto is a Dark day indeed; viruses could still be out there causing problems. The Full Moon on November 30th and Lunar Eclipse in Gemini means that traveling could be a really bad idea. I don’t know about you but I’ll be home till January.

December 14th is the New moon total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius, where you may find a lot of fire energy in your day. If you have been feeling sleepy and not going to the gym or hot yoga studio, this will get you going and having more fun. The next day Venus goes into Sagittarius – this means socializing parties, so take out the silver purple sparkle dress and faux fur. Then Saturn moves back into Aquarius for the next two and a half years, here advancements in technology are prevalent. Saturn’s been in Capricorn representing governments, corporations, capitalism, racism, oppressive world leaders, problems in the global economy, and inequalities of all kinds. Believe it or not it’s to make the world a better place. Aquarius is revolutionary energy; it’s friendly, socializing, humanitarian energies focusing on ways to fix these problems. New Laws and Government will be held accountable - thank goodness. On the 21st the sun goes into Capricorn, and conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, which only happens every 20 years, by now COVID should have slowed down. The 29th is the Full Moon in Cancer and this is connected to the emotions, a highly sensitive time. On New Year’s Eve the moon is in magnificent Leo, say something sweet about how your sweetheart looks.

Aries March 21 - April 19

ARIES: Jupiter is now on the top of your solar chart. Your ambitions, career, business goals, and reputation continue to grow and develop. Your talents and skills are recognized now like never before. All of the hard work you’ve put in when Mars was at its best in your sign begins to pay off and is rewarding you as you get recognized. You are in the limelight, wear red & blue 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. While Jupiter brings gifts, these can be wasted if we go to great excess, one day at a time Aries.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

TAURUS: Your ambition increases, and so does the enjoyment of what you’re doing and where you’re going. This is a good time for feeling both motivated and inspired; you are no longer tolerant of negativity (2020). You have a great desire to grow, improve, and transform your entire life now. This can be a time when you make friends in foreign places, who have very different backgrounds or perspectives than you and who inspire your life during this powerful time. You are likely to enjoy opportunities to expand your experiences and you really impress others. This could be a time for educational pursuits that could lead to important opportunities in your work area. You are in the spotlight in some way during this time. Although it’s a great period for expansion and recognition on a professional level try to take advantage of anything that comes your way now. Be careful of situations that could get blown out of proportion or misunderstood. While Jupiter brings luck and gifts, these can be a problem if we spend more than we make. It can be a time of significant progress in your career, a fortunate change in status, new job or business, increased recognition.

Gemini May 21 - June 21

GEMINI: While you are attracting others magnetically especially during the Solar and Lunar Eclipses, this will play a big part in your love life, but you could be a little recluse or hesitant about pushing forward when it comes to love. Ask yourself this, “what does my heart truly need” to really understand myself more intimately. At this time you’re likely to take a good look at what changes to make to your personal image, beauty, finances, and love relationships. Try to find time for fun as well, wear blue & yellow to help brighten your day. Mars is retrograde at this time slowing down your social life, not something that sits well with you. There can be some heavy issues and delays now. If your dreams are not manifesting fast enough, make some modifications to your everyday life until Mars goes direct. There can be a return to an old friendship or troubles from the past resurfacing in a current one.

Cancer June 22 - July 23

CANCER: October starts out very intense but something’s from the past are coming back in a positive way due to the mercury retrograde in a water sign. New career paths developing will feel like you are almost like reinventing yourself. Cancer, if you’re single you might feel very alone, your life might suddenly need a plan to find someone special and strong, a committed partnership. Please don’t lose hope, it’s just temporary, try to hear the messages the universe is sending you through this experience, meditation and positive affirmations work for me. Basically Pluto has been in your 7th house of committed relationships and hidden enemies since 2008 and until 2023. Saturn is there so it hasn’t been easy, but there is good news and some much needed relief when they both move forward into Aquarius in mid-December. Many hard lessons were learned and now it’s time to put what you learned into action, like the way a butterfly finds a new life. With Jupiter in our 7th house some of you could be making a commitment this year. If a relationship cannot withstand the tests of time, remember that relationships “lost” during a Saturn transit to your partnership sector generally are not good for you in the long run. If your wedding plans were delayed or signing contracts, look at it as a blessing. Next year will be better and 2022 even better. It is awakening you to a new way of life, the past is gone forever, nothing could be worse than 2020. Say yes and show up to all invitations with Venus in Scorpio in your 5th house of romance. Dress in your most vibrant red dress and black lace stockings, heads will turn.

Leo July 24 - Aug. 23

LEO: Leo you are the King or Queen at love or work, and things are looking good. Venus in Libra October 27th and Mars in Aries will makes you feel marvelous. Maybe you moved or got a new job with more money and your relationships received a boost of energy mid-December. Your ability and powers in business negotiations begin to grow and expand until December 2021. You will be more successful in a partnership or improve your relationship status at this time. You are in the limelight and good may come your way in career matters. If it’s a new partnership the time is now, opportunities will arise, or bringing fresh energy to an existing committed relationship will emerge. If a relationship comes into your life now it can be successful and happy with benefits. Sometimes, this transit absolves an existing partnership, but if this is the case, it is likely to come as a relief, or it is a “blessing in disguise.” Meeting someone better for you at this point in your life may be the reason for this, although it’s important not to jump into something new blindly. Your ability to get along with others is enhanced as you are especially willing to compromise, and you are more attractive than usual. Pull out that gold dress, silver strappy high heels and do your hair up in a big way.

Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 22

VIRGO: So Virgo all the difficult plants in Capricorn making us all crazy, are in your 5th house of creativity, romance, children, joy, self-expression and bring you happiness. With Jupiter and Pluto so powerful together as they have moved through much of 2020, you’re very determined to do things right this year. Whether it’s a new love or love of self, be kind to yourself and let it happen. Jupiter in Capricorn is there until December 17th then moves into your 6th house of work and health, so expect improvements in this area. Saturn is a disciplinarian, and while it brings powerful and useful lessons, it’s also a serious and heavy influence. By December 17th, Saturn will have moved into Aquarius and your solar sixth house of work and health, but before it does it will leave a gift. Try to get to some festive house parties in December, meet up with old friends, wear something comfortable but throw in a sparkly scarf that matches your outfit and let your hair down.

Libra Sept 23 - Oct. 22

LIBRA: With Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn in your 4th house of home, you are moving towards improved emotional foundations with regards’ to home and family life. At this time you will benefit in a powerful way if you reconstruct your life either physically or emotionally at home. After all “home is where the heart is.” De-clutter, throw out what no longer serves you, put in a new vegetable garden, saltwater pool, or gazebo? In December you get a powerful new start regarding fun in your romantic life, children and perhaps a new hobby, as Jupiter and Saturn are going into your fifth house. Mars is in your 7th house, so it is time to bring your sexy back. A new powder blue sparkle dress with knee high boots should do the trick.

Scorpio Oct. 23 - Nov. 22

SCORPIO: What’s going on Scorpio, do you have hidden talents you are not even aware of? This is a powerful time for achieving, and discovering new goals. Do you want to teach people what you know or want to take a course so you can take what you know to a new level? Why not, you have till the 17th of December and then it’s all about your home and family life. Why not paint the bedroom, black walls come to mind or red pillows, this is your sanctuary and the sky’s the limit. Time for Black Lace Dresses and stilettos if you’re going to be home in the winter months, you might as well keep things hot and interesting especially on the full moon in Taurus October 31st.

Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 20

SAGITTARIUS: Planet Jupiter is going through your second house of luck and earnings until December 17th. You are likely to see and enjoy benefits to your earning power and value system. Jupiter in this part of your chart could very well bring a profitable and productive period. You feel more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to save money for a rainy day as you attract more income. This is not a time to gamble or take financial risks. Saturn is here till December 17th holding you accountable, Jupiter and Saturn will go into your 3rd house of higher education and communication. Look back at 12 years ago, and did you go back to school or do some kind of training at work? Also with Saturn here it causes us to slow down and pay more attention to what is around us in our everyday life. With Venus in the 12th house love may be behind closed doors or a secret love affair, and that’s kind of exciting. Then Venus will go into your first house December 15th - you are looking hot, sexy, and beautiful. Great time for a new hair cut or full day at the SPA.

Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20

CAPRICORN: Mars is in your 4th house of home - are things like kitchen appliances breaking down? Energy is stagnant till Mars goes direct November 13th. Mars square Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto now until December; challenges are on the home front, confronting the issues that have been ongoing. Once Saturn moves into Aquarius you will feel like a Phoenix coming out of the ashes and if you have been wearing black it’s time to pull out the earthy colours, olive green, or copper with gold running through it and looking very Goddess like, Gaia comes to mind. Jupiter in your first house of self,“look at me I’m wonderful”, will bring benefits to you for change and help improve your life. There will be new adventures and bringing about a whole new you. Then it goes into your second house of money (sweet!), we all want some improvements in our finances and so use this influence wisely.

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb. 19

AQUARIUS: Jupiter has been in your solar twelfth house all year, showing you the benefits and yes, joy and putting an end to outdated attitudes or situations in your life. Once it goes into your first house of self, mid-December, you can now expand yourself into who you have become to the world and how people see you on a whole. Be careful of weight gain so walk and move frequently, but it does help bring more clarity, purpose, and structure into your life, to things that have been lacking and sometimes bringing you down the last 12 years. At the same time Jupiter enters your sign just two days after Saturn enters Aquarius in December for the next 2 and a half years. While Jupiter expands, Saturn constricts. Fortunately, even though these planets have many opposite functions, they tend to work together quite well. In fact, they may be considered a power team. You can feel the incredible powerful energy coming into your life, very productive and effective from December forward. You can find a lot of pleasure and joy in exercising more self-discipline and initiative. Until then, there is quite a bit of inner work or preparation to do, and you have Jupiter helping you on these fronts this year, many burdens are now behind you. Uranus continues to shake up your personal or domestic world. Changes on the home front, with family, or with living arrangements, I will talk about this more in 2021.You may frequently feel as if you’re on the verge of something great this year Aquarius, and you are! Patience will benefit you greatly now as you prepare and plan in 2021. With so many new beginnings for you next year I think that you need to bring out the red lipstick, wigs, fun hats, hot pink boas and plan a house party with your closest friends and family.

Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20

PISCES: With Mars in your 2nd house of money and self-worth, things have been good, but will slow down September 9th till November 13th. A lot happened this year. How are you feeling about your self-worth? Don’t get too down on yourself, with Venus in Virgo in your 7th house in October you are getting along with your partner very well, as well as other people or your relationships in general. With Jupiter conjunct Saturn in December in Aquarius, be careful to take care of your mental and emotional health. Reach out to close friends and family more often so you have warmth and love at this time. Even if you don’t feel like going out for a long walk or to parties, put on that beautiful Indigo dress and magnificent smile that lights up a room every time, my sweet sensitive Pisces.
