SOPHIE’S SOLAR RETURN CHART 2020
SUN
As you know, you have your Sun in Gemini! The Sun sign is your life mission to complete and in Gemini your mission is to learn, network and communicate your knowledge. Your easy-going attitude means your social, loveable and friendly to all. As your brain gets easily bored, you are always reaching for a book or something new to discover and understand. You love information and communicating what you have learnt to others. Your thirst for learning and curious nature is what makes you, you. So, in keeping with your true Gemini style, what are you going to be wanting to learn in this specific year ahead?
For 2020 your sun will be in the 12th house. This means you will be wanting to learn about how to connect with your higher self. You will learn how to drop or dilute your ego and righteous sense self. You will be able to detach from this world, seek meaning and understanding from something bigger than yourself and connect with it. This means you may lose boundaries of self and identity as you connect to something more universal and on an unconscious level.
You will be extremely receptive to others, what they can teach you and absorb everyone else’s energy – you need to protect yourself this year from feeling to stretched and blended from your own core. Yet your mind and heart will be so open and inviting, it would be a shame not to fully throw yourself into this opportunity. It will be an extremely awakening and illuminating year.
For 2020 your Mars will be in the sign of Pisces in the 9th house which is about taking action and putting energy into expanding and learning the subconscious part of your mind. Learning how to truly disconnect with this world and it may take an event or something to happen which will give you the drive and desire you need to embark on this mission. However, this mars in Pisces will square your Sun in Gemini. So, you will have the challenge of not knowing how to assert this energy effectively onto yourself. Your biggest learning curve this year will be learning how to connect on a deeper, higher level of consciousness and then connecting with it and using it on a personal level successfully. Much is to be gained from mastering this presented challenge.
MOON
For 2020 your Moon will be in Leo in the 3rd house. You’ll have an energy which screams sass, courage, bravery and heart. The Moon in Leo can be quite sensitive and take things to heart if their pride is damaged. You know who you are, so stand up for yourself and be the proud lion you know you are. You may find the year full of high and dramatic events and emotions, where your heart is pulled around and tested…mainly by your family. Your family will play a big part in your life this year and need you a lot. I feel like you have a lesson you will be learning from your family, or maybe you have something to teach them. Let’s see how it plays out.
You will have an overwhelming need to understand people on an emotional level this year. You want to touch other people hearts and feel love running through your veins. Going back to your Sun mission, this may be quite an empathic experience and you will start receiving more and more communication from others through their body language and energy, rather than rational thought and normal means of communication. Moon in the 3rd wants to learn and craves knowledge. In Leo this is knowledge is for arts, dramatics and adventure. Want to study this year or pick up a vocation? It would be a great time to learn something Leo-esque which will fulfil you spiritually and emotionally. With the Moon in the mutable 3rd house, you will be able to adapt your feelings and instincts this year easily in line with the new things you learn – you will go with the flow and change course several times.
ASCENDANT
For 2020 your Ascendant will also be Gemini. You will enter the world this year with your curiosity at the tip of your tongue. You’ll ask questions about everything, wanting to understand and to learn. You will also be very friendly and extremely approachable. Everyone will find it easy and comforting to ask you questions and seek your knowledge. Being sociable and chatty may get you into trouble from time to time, however it will be a light hearted telling off and laughed at. For everyone knows you have your head and heart in the right place.
MERCURY
For 2020 your Mercury will be in Cancer in the 1st house. In a positive light you will be able to communicate emotively and compassionately. You will always be thinking how you can seem helpful and supportive to others and offer a comforting chat to anyone in need. In a negative light this can mean you may clam up about things you don’t want to talk about or sensitive subjects which you don’t want to elaborate on. Mercury in Cancer can be guarded with their own thoughts and feelings because helping others feels more satisfying, which will ultimately make yourself feel more whole, knowing you’ve helped someone else. You’ll be driven by being mothering and a matriarch for everyone around you.
It will be nice for you to reconnect with people from your past and start communicating with them again. This year will be great to be nostalgic and use your past influences in your now everyday life.
MAKE THE MOST OF THE DAY
Your exact Solar Return will hit at exactly 05:58am on the 29th of May 2020. The next 24 hours from this time is your year ahead in miniature. From 05:58am on your birthday until the following day, try do things which you want to bring into your life over the next year. Firstly, take some time to digest this information and set your intentions for the year ahead. Then anything you want to bring into your life this year, do a little bit of it or make a start over the 24 hours. For example, if it is to read more books, perhaps order a book, read for 30 minutes or start a new one. This way you are setting the tone of welcoming in this activity into the next year of your life.
Enjoy and good luck!
