A celebrity astrologer has revealed the New Year’s resolutions each star sign should make – and stick to – for the coming year, from building a savings portfolio and writing a book to honing a lean physique in the gym.
Hollywood zodiac expert Nicolas Aujula shared his predictions for 2020, revealing the goals each sign must aspire and adhere to – with financial security being the top priority for Leo and social media detoxing essential for Gemini.
Fitness should be the focus for fire and air signs, with Aries benefiting from self-disciplining exercise like yoga and Libra excelling at exciting workouts like Zumba and ballet.
Improving communication is key for water signs, with Cancer and Scorpio both likely to find professional success if they hone their public speaking skills and master the art of the written word.

ARIES (21 MARCH – 19 APRIL) – BEING PATIENT
Always ‘on the go’ Aries should step out of the fast lane in 2020 to practice the art of patience and self-discipline.
‘It’s time to take a chill pill in 2020. Try something like yoga or meditation to help aid discipline and calm,’ Nicolas said.
‘Allowing others to do their thing without constant interference and nagging can really help your relationships to prosper. Remember, it’s not always about you!’
Lucky number: 9
TAURUS (20 APRIL – 20 MAY) – GO OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE
Homebody Taurus thrives on routine and is often reluctant to move into uncharted territory, but stepping outside usual comfort zones will create countless opportunities over the next 12 months for any Bull brave enough to do so.
‘Create some magic by committing to try something new a few times in 2020,’ Nicolas said.
‘It can be big or small, but if you allow yourself to feel the discomfort of the unknown, it will stimulate creativity and new ideas.
‘Get dirty by going paint balling or really challenge yourself by skydiving!’
Lucky number: 6
GEMINI (21 MAY – 20 JUNE) – SOCIAL MEDIA DETOX
Constantly connected Gemini is known for their love of socialising and chit chat, but 2020 should be a golden opportunity to spend less time on apps and more time in the real world.
‘Swap your one hour Instagram stalk obsessing over the lives of others for a walk in nature. Or, instead of writing posts on Facebook, spend time doing something creative with your hands,’ said Nicolas.
‘Take the chance to focus on and prioritise yourself this year.’
Lucky number: 5

CANCER (21 JUNE – 22 JULY) – SPEAK UP
The coming 12 months is all about assertion for caring Cancer, who must speak up to have their voice heard.
‘Write that book you’ve thought about for years, participate in community meetings or even launch a YouTube channel to share your insights,’ Nicolas advised.
‘What you have to say will be well received and open doors to new opportunities.’
Lucky number: 2
LEO (23 JULY – 22 AUGUST) – SAVE MORE MONEY
Luxury loving Leo must step away from high end shopping to avoid squandering money in 2020.
Nicolas urged typically extravagant Lions to make a concerted effort to save a decent percentage of income over the coming 12 months.
‘Looking into investments can bring great dividends if you can be patient enough to wait for results,’ he said.
‘You can still enjoy life – it’s not always about how much you spend.’
Lucky number: 1
VIRGO (23 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER) – BE YOUR OWN PUBLICIST
Modesty and integrity come naturally to Virgo, but their humble persona often means others miss out on what they really have to offer.
‘Allow yourself to be acknowledged in 2020 and learn to market your skills more through daily conversations, based on what you’ve already achieved,’ Nicolas advised.
‘Remember, it’s not boasting – merely stating fact! New work opportunities will come your way as a result.’
Lucky number: 5
LIBRA (23 SEPTEMBER – 22 OCTOBER) – GET FITTER
Known for their laid-back and sometimes self-indulgent nature, the time is ripe for Libra to put down the Christmas chocolates and focus on achieving long term fitness goals once and for all.
‘Don’t stick to the old routine because you won’t get the results. Mix things up by combining dance, Zumba, power lifting and spinning,’ said Nicolas.
‘Libra can expect health and well being to be key in 2020.’

SCORPIO (23 OCTOBER – 21 NOVEMBER) – USE YOUR WORDS
Intense, deep thinking Scorpio doesn’t always find it easy to share what’s on their mind, but the coming 12 months provide an opportunity to express more and reap the benefits of clearer communication.
‘Try putting your ideas, inspirations and thoughts into words every day, no matter if it’s fiction, poetry or just note form,’ Nicolas said.
‘Putting your thoughts to paper give them form that can inspire action, and who knows – you could be on to a literary winner.’
Lucky number: 9
SAGITTARIUS (22 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER) – KEEP ENERGY UP
Adventurous Sagittarius must manage their rebellious streak in 2020 and maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid burnout.
‘To fuel your inner fire, you must ensure your body can keep up with your mind,’ Nicolas said.
‘This means getting at least eight hours sleep, making time for relaxation and ensuring that other people are not making too many demands of you.’
Lucky number: 3
CAPRICORN (22 DECEMBER – 19 JANUARY) – TAKE UP A NEW HOBBY
Known for strong work ethic and self-discipline, Capricorn should loosen the reins a little and try something new and exciting in 2020.
‘This year is all about making time for hobbies, to find enjoyment and pleasure through something you’ve always wanted to do,’ said Nicolas.
‘Whether it’s photography, art or pottery, give it a go – embracing pleasure and entertainment is key.’
Lucky number: 8

AQUARIUS (20 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY) – AVOID OVER-CRITICISM
Straight talking Aquarius is always trusted to tell the truth, but 2020 is a time for holding black overly blunt opinions – especially when no one is asking for notes.
‘Taking a step back in social situations will avoid unnecessary hurt and awkward encounters,’ Nicolas advised.
‘You’re still free to think whatever you want – just knowing when to say what is key.’
Lucky number: 8
PISCES (19 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH) – RELEASE RESENTMENT
Sensitive Pisces is prone to holding onto negative emotions, so releasing resentment should be the number one goal for the Fish in 2020.
‘Being a sensitive soul, holding onto resentment can really get you down,’ said Nicolas.
‘You don’t have to forget or compromise your own boundaries, but hanging onto anger does hurt you in the long run.
‘Learning to forgive will help you feel lighter. Light some incense and let it go.’
Lucky number: 3
