What You Need to Work on in 2020 Based on Your Zodiac Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Kennesaw chapter.
Aries- Career

This year you can put your dreams into motion! Keep your eyes open for career opportunities, whether it’s an internship position or even something small that would make your resume stand out. Just remember, you get out what you put in, so put in your blood, sweat, and tears if you want to make your dreams a reality!

Taurus- Humility

In the past, you may have struggled with not having all the answers. This year the most important thing for you to work on is being humble enough to know you don’t know everything, and you don’t have to. Open yourself up to what others have to say and take a look at the world with new eyes. Be ready for emotional development and accept the fact that you will always be growing and changing!

Gemini- Self Love

In the past year, you may have struggled with how you see yourself; this could be due to pressures from others or society as a whole. It’s in a Gemini’s nature to be multi-faceted, so don’t let others make you afraid of all of these parts of yourself. In 2020 you need to focus on what you love about yourself and the deeper reasons behind why you don’t like other parts. What you see as ugly or weird others see as beautiful. Start looking at yourself, both inside and out, in the same way, you look at your friends, with love!

Cancer- Vulnerability in Love

As a Cancer having strong emotions, should be nothing new for you, but emotions and vulnerability are not exactly equal. You may be more hesitant to be vulnerable this year, whether you are afraid of opening up or scared of how someone will react. What you need to remember is that being open is nothing to be afraid of; if someone doesn’t accept how you feel or who you truly are, that is a reflection of them not on you. Do not be ashamed of opening-up, because anyone who won’t accept every part of you does not deserve even one piece!

Leo: Accountability

As the lion of the zodiac’s, you are used to being bold, but this doesn’t excuse making bad decisions or flaking on friends. This year challenge yourself to be 100% in everything you do, no excuses. Accountability could help you not only with sticking to plans but also advancing in your job or giving you opportunities you wouldn’t otherwise have. This is not to say you should ignore your limits, but be honest about whether it is a limit you have met or a distraction.

Virgo: Creativity

 As a Virgo, at times, you can become caught up in trying to be perfect and abiding by all the rules in life. In 2020 you need to allow yourself to be imperfect, and a great way to do this is by getting creative. In most art forms, rules are meant to be broken or bent; whether it’s drawing or writing, you have the power to choose what you do and how you do it. Actively try to do something creative every day, maybe write some cringy poetry or make a collage from an old magazine. Whatever you choose, make sure to allow yourself to make the rules and to let your imagination control the narrative!

Libra- Self Trust

In the past year, you may have let yourself be influenced by those around you, both negatively and positively. This is the year to take control of yourself and get to know who you are and what you want. Drown out the voices around you and listen to what you have to say first! Trust your gut, and don’t allow others to convince you otherwise. This is your year to be comfortable with yourself and learn to trust how you feel.

Scorpio- Allowing Yourself to Speak Up

Scorpio’s are known as the mysterious signs, and while this can be a positive trait, it can also keep you from opening up or speaking up. 2020 is your year to get to know your voice and use it as much as possible. It can be easy to keep your opinions to yourself, yet at the same time, those opinions could drastically change a conversation in a positive way. You need to practice using your voice to stand up for yourself or others and present new ideas. Whether it is contributing to a conversation in class or simply not allowing a friend to walk all over you, it’s time to speak up. Your voice and your ideas are essential, and the world needs to hear them!

Sagittarius- Mental Health

This year you need to put your time and effort into taking care of your mental health. This year when you have extra time, you should think about what you want to work on in your mental health. Ask yourself, what do you struggle with, what makes you uncomfortable, or simply what do you want to heal. This doesn’t mean 2020 is going to be mentally draining or hard for you, but it is simply a reminder that you should always put energy into your mental health. Healing mental scars may seem like hard work, but in the long run, it will make your life smoother and more comfortable.

Capricorn- Self Acceptance

With modern American culture, it can be hard to feel positive about yourself unless you fit into a specific set standard, yet, those cookie cutters tend to be unrealistic and outdated. This year you should focus on looking at yourself without the lense of society and truly accepting who you are, instead of who you think you should be. You need to sink into yourself and embrace the gifts that make you an individual. In 2020 there is no need for you to be anyone but yourself!

Aquarius- Knowing Your Limits

It can be easy to overexert yourself, but in 2020 you should focus on knowing when to stop. Balance is vital in all parts of life, which is why it can be important to cultivate it now. Pay attention to what is too much for you and who is too much for you. You need to put your needs first this year and allow yourself to feel comfortable and safe in all situations.

Pisces- Self Worth

The most important thing for a Pisces this year is simply knowing their worth and not settling for anything less than that. You need to be unapologetically yourself and realize that anyone who doesn’t like that doesn’t deserve you. Working on knowing your worth will help you treat yourself with respect you deserve and grow your confidence. Don’t let anyone treat you like you are less than you know you are!
