Planets fan out lighting brushfires as they go. Add to this, the full moon (a drama queen in volatile Leo) eyeballs the sun in quirky Aquarius. Hold on to your sanity (your resolutions, too!) as Mercury gets set to retrograde.

Aries (March 20April 18)

Though 2020 will be about building a business or social platform, it’s hard to stay plugged in with the full moon levying mad, passionate beams on your Fun House. Go out: Pick posies! Send valentines! Experience miracles.

Taurus (April 19May 19)

Ding! Dong! The full moon’s wakeup call demands that you put your house in order — literally. The daily nittygritty can be a drag, but it must be addressed to clear the way for the good stuff that’s coming.

Gemini (May 20June 19)

As 2020 skips forward, the full moon lights a fire in your charm and chat rooms. You want to focus on the loveydovey aspects of life, but business is sure to surface. Surprise everyone by doing something darling like sending a valentine to your lawyer or accountant. Cancer ( June 20July 21)

The full moon highlights personal finances. What good is happiness if doesn’t buy pesos? Consider taking the hobbyhorse trail to fame and fortune. Something done “just for fun” could morph into money.

Leo ( July 22Aug. 21) Enough shoulda woulda coulda stuff! As the full moon beams directly on you, take a second look at those resolutions. The effort’s well within your comfort zone — considering the rewards. If there was ever a time to think outside the box, it’s now.

Virgo (Aug. 22Sept. 21)

The full moon bites you in the butt. Memories, dreams of long ago. As 2020 skips forward, you’ll confront an identity crisis. Much of it has to do with what you know — or don’t know.

Libra (Sept. 22Oct. 21)

Pssst! Here’s a secret just between us. Your luck lies

with friends and colleagues who have strong potential — possibly romantic — for you this year. In other news: Something needs attention, a workaday chore that you’ve put off. Saturn is a heavyhanded helper.

Scorpio (Oct. 22Nov. 21) Come blow your horn, Scorp — don’t expect anyone else to. The full moon lights your fame house, but the PR is up to you. Happily, Jupiter remains faithful in your communications corner. You’ll be doing what you love and do best — pushing the envelope as far as it will go.

Sagitarrius (Nov. 22Dec. 20)

As heartsandflowers day approaches, your heart goes pitter pat. Expect an amatory problem regarding travel to unkink itself as an upsydownsy week moves toward a — dare we say? — climax.

Capricorn (Dec. 21Jan. 18)

With the full moon powering your Hormone House, the big picture may be too steamy to read. Does Minerva see a Russian novel taking shape? Don’t go throwing yourself in front of a train.

Aquarius ( Jan. 19Feb. 17)

The full moon in Leo accents a relationship or contractual issue. Handle it and move on. This can be a fun thing with a nice payoff. As spring approaches, you’ll experience an inspired breakthrough. Press on, and you can look ahead to a fabulous fall.

Pisces (Feb. 18March 19)

Because you Pisceans are super sensitive, the volatile moon might be expected to rattle your cage. Au contraire! What it will really do is open you up to a practical plan regarding personal communications.

Minerva’s Mailbag

Q: I’m a Capricorn. Is life ever going to get better?

A: Saturn happens, and it’s happening to you. The big guy moves on late this fall. The best news is that Mr. Discipline won’t be back for 30 years.
