An Equinox membership. A far-flung meditation retreat. A transformative new haircut. For those with their sights set on a new-and-improved beauty or wellness regimen, one of the following might be written in the stars for 2020. Here, astrologist Susan Miller, who launched a pop-up shop inspired by the four zodiac elements with Bloomingdale s earlier this month, predicts the ways in which the new year will impact each sign—and how it will translate into the beauty and health realm. Set your resolutions accordingly.
Aries, March 21 – April 19
"Aries has the most spectacular career year coming. It
s a wonderful time and they
re going to see themselves in new light. They are on fire! So it
s time for a refresh on their beauty look, perhaps talking to a hairstylist about getting a new cut or color. But at the same time, they
re going to feel pressure, so they need an activity that
s going to help them release that tension. They should look to fitness classes, like boxing or kickboxing, where they can be challenged and fully immersed."
Taurus, April 20 – May 20
"Taurus is going overseas to places they never thought they
d get to see. This means they
ve got to pack up and streamline their beauty products. And, bring extra sunscreen because they
re going to be out and about! They
re not going to be anywhere near a gym, so they should pack resistance bands, which are great to have on the road. Plus, more and more hotels have wellness programs that include morning meditations and yoga classes. Take advantage if you can!"
Gemini, May 21 – June 20
"In 2020, Gemini is all about money. But the money they get is in chunks, not parsed out in a paycheck. When it comes in bundles, you can decide how to use it better than if it comes consistently in small amounts, so seize the opportunity and invest in getting active. They can now afford to get a personal trainer, or join that expensive gym with a sauna and other extras that make it a more uplifting experience. And don
t forget, Geminis are high-strung, so get massages when you need them too!"
Cancer, June 21 – July 22
"Cancer is the sign most likely to get married or engaged this year. There will be a lightness and happiness in this union. Take advantage of this twosome energy by doing activities together, like tennis or a workout class. If you
re single, you can still experience that collaborative effect by working one on one with someone, anyone, who
s going to make you better in a very customized way, like a nutritionist."
Leo, July 23 – August 22
"Leo is the sign most likely to be fit and strong in 2020 because they have Jupiter in the fitness house. It
s impossible to lose—and they
ll do more than they ever thought they could. But Leos get bored, so they should be sure to build a program that
s a little different than what they
ve done before. Test-drive a new sport or take lessons. The only thing I
d caution is that they shouldn
t go overboard because they
re going to be very enthusiastic."
Virgo, August 23 – September 22
"Virgos have the best romantic prospects of the whole Zodiac. With lots of dates, events, and reasons to go out, they
ll definitely be motivated to look and feel their best. They
ll need even more fun evening clothes and beauty products to go out! You know, in September, we have the harvest moon and it rules the part of medicine where you
re using organic products to take care of yourself. So they
ll be very interested in new cosmetics that don
t have any harmful ingredients. Virgos are the ones who really look at the labels!"
Libra, September 23 – October 22
"For Libra, everything about their chart is screaming real estate! If they want to rent or buy, this is the year to find that dream apartment or house. Or, they can renovate and redecorate their current place, changing the lighting and finding great new pieces of furniture to change everything. Since they
ll be busy running to showrooms and Home Depot, it will be easiest for them to stay active at home with something like Peloton. They
ll have the space!"
Scorpio, October 23 – November 21
For Scorpio, the third house of communication is lit up, which effects how well they speak, write, and negotiate. It will make it a big year, and they
ll do well. And because they
re doing so well, there will be an emphasis on travel. But because it
s going to be busy, it will be short travel. They
ll be able to go on active little short vacations, doing more natural things like running on the beach or hiking. So it
s about finding those places you can go to get away from the merry-go-round of life. Have fun working out or doing the sport you love while you
re there!"
Sagittarius, November 22 – December 21
"Sagittarius has more money coming in, but it
s not in chunks, it
s in their paycheck coming regularly. It
s a nice boost up! They will feel it and it will give them options. For Sagittarius, travel is such an overarching need, so they
re going to get plenty of exercise just exploring all the different places they visit. They
re so curious, so they walk a lot wherever they go on a trip. So, of course, they need lots of sunscreen, but they also love stumbling upon other natural products they can incorporate into their routine while traveling."
Capricorn, December 22 – January 19
"For the past two years, Capricorns have really had to keep their hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road. There wasn
t a lot of time for fun. But now, all of that changes. They
re finding themselves at the right place, at the right time. Their health is improving, their optimism is coming back. They
re entering a new lifestyle, which means a refresh to their look and beauty regimen. Most importantly, it
s time to get serious about using the right skincare products for your age. What worked in your 20s isn
t going to work quite the same in your 30s, so investigate new products, as well as get more facials."
Aquarius, January 20 – February 18
Aquarius is getting ready for the new year, and they have to decide what stays, what goes. So if anything has been troubling them, this is the year to go to a therapist and talk about it. You
ll be lifting that off your shoulders, and your energy will return. There
s a strong emphasis on the subconscious, so they might try transcendental meditation, or, because they love electronics and their favorite place is the app store, try the latest mindfulness app. They
re always ahead of the curve. They
re always first!"
Pisces, February 19 – March 20
"In 2020, it
s all friendships, all new people coming in. It
s a hugely social year! Since Pisces is one of the most compassionate and evolved signs, they should embrace more gentle exercise, perhaps something Eastern like yoga or Tai chi. Or, there
s exercising in water, of course, which is very easy on the joints, as well as a dancing workout, like jazzercise, because Pisces loves music and it motivates them."
