Transit Uranus in the 10th House

When transit Uranus is in your 10th house, you can experience change in your career. You may become restless and decide to change direction. Changes could be thrust upon you and you have to deal with it. You need more freedom to do what you want in your career, and can be attracted to careers that are unusual, or want to take an innovative approach to your career. Changes can occur for your mentors, parents, bosses, and other authority figures, and they’re less reliable. You could find yourself suddenly in the public eye or have an increase in social status, or a sudden decrease. http://www.thedarkpixieastrology.com/transit-uranus.html

When transit Uranus is conjunct your natal Saturn, sudden events can threaten the security that you were looking for before. You start to express your individuality at work You are able to have many new opportunities, job changes or professional goals. Nevertheless, you have to put in the work to make them permanent.

You break your routine at work even though it may clash with your boss or, on the other hand, you may work more independently. All the tensions that have been increasing during these years are in a moment of explosion. The worst thing is that, if you are afraid to change, tensions may increase.

You have to maintain your integrity and individuality against adversity. You can free yourself from burdens and responsibilities that are no longer contributing anything to your personal growth. You can break some association or commitment that was excessively restrictive.

You do things differently. You are able to surprise others and catch them off guard.

If you try to suppress the need to integrate your individuality into your work, or if you cling to your past reality, it can cause tensions that are not good for your health. You can now take advantage of the changes to free yourself, using your realistic vision of the world and doing it with sufficient care. https://astrolibrary.org/transits/uranus-saturn/

You have a powerful need for change now, but may not be aware of this need on a conscious level. You’ll just find yourself more bored and restless, and the normal experiences of your everyday life won’t give you enough stimulation or excitement. Even though you feel more cramped in your situation, you may experience a great fear of breaking free and exploring new ground. If you resist the urge to change your situation, external factors may intervene and sudden opportunities to completely change your situation may come up out of the blue. While this may be upsetting, you should now look deeper into yourself and see if these changes are really blessings. You have a chance to overcome the limitations of the past and experience a whole new perspective on your life direction, but things may happen so fast that you’ll feel anxious about the future. On the other hand, you may be completely conscious of your need for new experiences and initiate a dramatic shift in your life direction. You may change careers, relocate or take on new projects that are very different from what you’ve done in the past. You’ll let the excitement of this time overcome your feelings of trepidation, and making major changes in your life will give you a sense of freedom that you’d been missing. https://www.thefutureminders.com/Uranus-transits/uranus-conjunct-saturn.cfm

Transit Saturn Opposite Sun

Transit Saturn Opposite Sun

Becoming more focused often is an attribute of this cycle, although you can become frustrated and troubled if you have too many things going on. You tend to encounter certain limitations, especially if you lack direction or if you are off course. One lesson of this period is to concentrate on the primary purpose for your life, at least for the moment. However, it is possible to gain insight into deeper aspects of yourself that define you beyond this period of time.

On a practical level, you can accomplish a great deal in one area or struggle mightily due to an array of choices. The key is to limit your involvement to only one or two objectives, which you pursue to the exclusion of all others. While you still may labor to reach your goal, you generally have the perseverance or commitment to get there. However, if you have many options to exercise, then you likely will encounter impediments to their achievement, which usually means nothing gets done or at least not done to your satisfaction.

Others sometimes challenge your identity, especially authority figures who tend to hamper what you want to express. If you lack confidence, you likely are acutely aware of it now. Even if you have strong self-esteem, questions over your effectiveness or capability may emerge. One aim for this period is to make you more certain of what you know is true for yourself. This may mean that certain props get knocked out from under you, but what is true will remain, and you will know it. This is an interval to assert, or at least to recognize, your command in those domains that you have some expertise. You may protest that you have no accomplishments. Then this is an excellent time to commit yourself to the mastery of an area that appeals to you, so that you can become your own authority, thus achieving greater self-possession.

Although you generally have greater persistence now, pressing too hard to reach a desired end can hinder its fulfillment. This cycle is about time and timing. Learning when to advance and when to retreat is an important lesson available to you. Along with proper timing comes acceptance for how things are without needing to change them. This period usually has delays at some point, and your willingness to accept them as a necessary part of the process can allow you to slow down sufficiently to appreciate all that is around you and within you.

When transit Saturn is opposite your natal Sun, you feel quite lacking in strength and vitality to deal with the problems that lie ahead. ... Some people oppose your plans and you feel frustrated, when in reality it is your intentions that are being tested. https://astrolibrary.org/transits/saturn-sun

 

Progressed Venus sextile Venus Although you may not have gotten everything you want in life (who does?), You're probably pretty sure of what that is and your progress toward getting it. You're not likely to be slowed by changing your goals or unhappiness with what you've got, so it's all forward motion - at least as far as what you've got your sights on.

Solar Return 2020 Pluto Aspects

Sun opposition Solar Return Pluto (-0°59s)

You will be confronted with people or powerful situations that will put all of your strength to the test. Some of these situations will be inner conflicts and you will have to fight your own habits or negative memories that are deeply ingrained inside you. This is a year of transformation and profound changes in your personality. Don’t lose your balance and don’t react aggressively or with violence to tense situations. If you undertake some type of therapy or consultation with a professional, you will manage these energies more positively.

The principal conflicts are brought on by people who exercise authority over you. You will fight for power in order to determine who dominates who. You could be confronted with a person who is overbearing or tyrannical, or it may be you who will dominate and be inflexible when dealing with others. This could cause ruptures in relationships and total changes in your social circle. In addition, this influence could cause breakdowns or problems with machines or equipment owned by you and could lead to disputes over the repairs.


On the more negative side, this astrological aspect could expose you to some kind of physical violence. Control your speed and stay away from people or places that could be dangerous for you.

Solar Return Pluto Square Ascendant  (5°27s)

Pluto in discordant aspect to horizon: This is a year of threats. There may be a threat to one's very existence, as in a health crisis, or a dangerous situation. There may be a threat to one's position in a group, or in the community, as someone may try to undermine your influence or efforts. Be wary of those who might sabotage. Usually their motives are power or greed. You yourself must be careful of coming across too coercive and intimidating, or dealing with others who are. You may find yourself dealing with rejection, or forced into a position you did not seek.
Since this aspect tends to coincide with potentially difficult circumstances, it may be wise to consider traveling elsewhere for your solar return, a place where this angular relationship would be removed altogether. If you are open to this possibility, consult a qualified professional astrologer for assistance.

Solar Return 2020 Mercury, Venus and Mars Aspects

Solar Return Mercury square Jupiter (6°07s)

With Mercury square Jupiter in your Solar Return chart, there will be times when you are inclined to overdo things or to promise more than you can deliver due to an optimistic, but not necessarily realistic, attitude. Your eyes may be bigger than your stomach. You may feel vague restlessness and discontent with life as it is, although you are generally in a happy mood. Elevated moods could also be rather unstable, as they may not be based on reality. Channeled well, this energy can represent creative power.

Solar Return Mercury square Uranus (5°48s)

When Mercury is square or opposite Uranus in the solar return chart, you might be subjected to psychologically stressful situations. Increased nervousness, anxiety, and irrational thinking may be directly related to these taxing circumstances. Question the necessity for excessive tension in your life. If possible, withdraw from those situations that strain your mental and physical health.

Stress is also caused by continuing disruptive changes in the information received. Startling facts and shocking realizations are possible according to the house placement for Mercury and Uranus (8th & 6th, resp.) The stream of shifting information impedes the decision-making process. Thinking tends to flip-flop with each modification. Opinions expressed may require a future retraction. The task is to think before you speak and only make decision after a thorough investigation.

The good news is that this can be a creative time if you approach problems from several different angles and do not get locked into one structured way of thinking. Use this time to be innovative and original. Brainstorm with others and channel insights into practical applications. Because your mind can be unstructured, your ability to think clearly may be interrupted by erratic impulses and an inability to concentrate over any length of time. New information and ideas might be more exciting than reorganizing what you already know. If you must work on a major project that requires sustained mental energy, take frequent breaks. Work on calming and nurturing your nervous system. You may want to practice relaxation techniques and avoid stimulants.

Solar Return Venus conjunct Venus (1°28s)

Venus to Venus, Same Gender: Compatibility with others whom you love and care deeply for is highlighted this year. You may feel in a romantic mood for much of this year. Socially you may enjoy  great popularity, as you meet people who have similar likes and dislikes. There is a sense of inner harmony and peace. There is consistency with your psychological values, as you are in sync here. You have ample opportunity to share beautiful experiences with others. This may be a year for acquisitions which you will value greatly, perhaps even receiving gifts and/or praise from others. Financially there may be gains and you seem on track, according to goals you have set for yourself. This is a year of satisfying desires, especially sensual ones. Furthermore it is a time of being treated with fairness or favoritism by others. Also you seem satisfied with your appearance and/or style. In fact, there may be favorable experiences involving your physical appearance (increasing attractiveness i.e. hair style, new clothes etc.)

Solar Return Venus Sextile Ascendant  (4°53s)

This is a year in which agreements and relationships of a very positive nature may unfold. In business, agreements lead to financial success. Many new and favorable contacts and contracts may arise, and you are encouraged to pursue these. Others seem to find you most agreeable and pleasant to be with. For the year, you exude more than your usual grace and charm. Romantic matters also are highlighted. You have a wonderful and appealing nature which draws others to you. In addition, your personal appearance is very attractive – even you like the way you look! Furthermore, others whom you find exciting and attractive come into your life, and from this, love may transpire. Things of beauty and value may also come into your possession. Financially, you tend to do very well this year, and your savings may increase, thus affording you a greater sense of financial and psychological security. You are encouraged to purchase things that will make you feel “good” about yourself, or to change your appearance in some way if you wish (i.e. clothing, plastic surgery, etc.). You may also function very well as a mediator between two opposing views, and receive compliments from both sides. If the aspect to the Ascendant is not exact, you may wish to consult with a qualified professional astrologer who can advise you on where this aspect would be more exact. The closer this aspect is to exact, the more powerful its correlation to your life experience is likely to be.

Solar Return Mars trine Mars (8°28s)

As such, you may experience success in new activities. You tend to feel confident and assertive. Success in competitive matters is promised, and so too is enjoyment in recreational and/or athletic endeavors. Furthermore the year highlights a passion for life, and an increase in passion in general. Thus there may well be exciting and satisfying sexual experiences. There may also be a strong -- even arrogant -- ego nature. Basically you are well motivated and you are in sync with your natural physical and energy
expression.

Solar Return Mars Trine Ascendant (2°48s)

This is a year of great motivation to do things successfully. You seem highly charged and energetic, and very self-directed. Your pioneering spirit can be a great aid in starting a particular (or many) new ventures. You seem eager to try new things.

Solar Return 2020 Moon Aspects

Solar Return Moon in Gemini


This is a year of emotional adjustments. You may feel pulled in a number of directions, and you could find yourself very busy and perhaps in demand. If the Moon is afflicted, you may feel behind schedule and you may have difficulty keeping up with the pace of your life.

Solar Return Venus Conjunct natal Moon (4°05a)

You will respond sensitively and sympathetically to the demonstrations of love and affection from others. You will enjoy social encounters and, if you are available, you might meet a special someone and fall in love. Your intuitive powers will increase and you will feel very protective and caring toward your loved ones.

Hard aspects to Venus are not explicitly problematic, although they have their issues. You feel a lot of desire this year.

Generally, there is more social activity, and your sensuality is strong this year. You look to satisfy your “sweet tooth” for pleasure. Your urge for affection may be temperamental, but insistent when active.

Solar Return Moon Opposition Mars (4°59s)

Within six weeks you may feel very energetic and highly motivated. Many of your activities seem to be going great, and much of your success is due to your own enthusiasm and hard efforts. During this period you may either start new ventures, or find yourself thoroughly immersed - and enjoying - things that have recently been started. There is a sense of "newness" about you, of adventurousness. There is also a healthy sense of competition, and you fare well in activities with others. You have a "passion" for life, and in fact your physical passions may be highly aroused. In addition, you exhibit very fine leadership skills, combined with a healthy pioneering spirit. This is an excellent time to plan things you want to go well.

Hard aspects to Mars can bring with them confrontations and moments of emotional anger. This is largely because you are far from indifferent on an emotional level this year. Your passions are aroused and it is hard for you to step back and objectively review any given situation. You can be emotionally impulsive during this period of your life, and your hunger for new experiences can reveal itself in restlessness and/or impatience.

Solar Return Moon Trine Jupiter (7°00s)

Moon sextile or trine Jupiter in the solar return indicates a positive outlook on life. This can be a year of happiness and contentment. You should be optimistic about the future and your potential for success. Use your talents and abilities to advance professionally or evolve spiritually. Expansion into new areas is advantageous. The house placement of Jupiter should indicate where expansion is likely to occur.

Solar Return Moon trine Uranus (6°42s)

You will be on the lookout for people who will interest you and help you to escape your daily routine during this year. You will have the desire to move in a more independent way and will want to express your emotions freely. The changes that will come will be very beneficial and will help you to achieve the freedom that you will need and seek out. Your imagination, creativity, and intuition will increase. You will conceive very original, new ideas that will be of much benefit to you. You might even have an idea for an invention, particularly something which could be used in the home.

If you are in a stable relationship during this time, you might want to make some changes which you believe will make your relationship more fulfilling. It is important that you make some changes in your daily routine. If you act in an intelligent and organized way, your changes will be beneficial and constructive. If you participate in some group activity, there is a possibility of you becoming the leader and wanting to propose some changes in its structure. There also could be unexpected changes in your home environment that will help you to live with more comfort and freedom. Your intuition will sharpen and this could bring the possibility for some psychic or mystical experiences during this year.

Solar Return Moon Trine Ascendant (0°41a)

This is a year of many positive changes which effect you emotionally. Very intimate relationships may be cultivated, or solidified (as in marriage). You are well aware that others care greatly for you, and as a recipient of that love, your own inner nature is moved deeply. Your emotional needs are fulfilled. In the eyes of the public, you are held in very high regard. If you wish to make changes in your residence - either relocate or remodel your home - this year denotes success. In all matters dealing with the family or real estate, this portends favorable results. It is a year to nurture and be nurtured, to care and be cared for. It is potentially a year of a great and special love.

Solar Return Sun square Solar Return MC (4°28a)

You could meet with obstacles or oppositions in your profession during this year. You will have to work and sacrifice more in order to achieve the position that you desire. Don’t get too obsessed with blaming others though because it could be due, in part, to the fact that you reject the ideas and opinions of others. Due to your negative attitude, your social life could also be affected. You will feel that your objectives are not in tune with others and will insist on doing things your own way. You will probably prefer working alone as much as possible this year so you will not have to deal with opposition from others.

Situations not related to your profession could also be problematical for you. These could be things like disagreements with your partner or business associates, problems in your home life, or your own lack of enthusiasm for and trust in your own projects. It is important that you define your goals and that you work with perseverance to achieve them without letting anything get in your way.
