2020: The Year of Limitless Opportunities and Challenges… Predictions by Sundeep Kochar

Year 2020 is one of the most fascinating years from the Astrological perspective. This year will be exciting and challenging, depending upon how we act and react to situations. Most of us tend to react to situations and look for remedies. Those who take things in the right spirit and move forward are the ones who will benefit the most from this year.

For starters, Jupiter has just transited to Sagittarius from Scorpio, and will stay in its own house till 19th Nov 2020. Technically, Jupiter will impact its own house and the houses of Aries, Gemini and Leo Zodiac. Meanwhile, Saturn will transit from Sagittarius to its own house Capricorn from Jan 24th. Which means that the ‘Sade Sati’ will commence for Aquarius. ‘Sade Sati’ is the 7 and a half year long period of Saturn (Shani). On the other hand, Scorpio will be out of Sade Sati effects.

The major transit influencing planets namely Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu are either in its own house or exalted. The chances of occurrence of major events in ones’ life increases significantly. The nature of the results depends on the placement of each planet in the respective individual charts.

Houses barring Virgo will be impacted directly or influenced by one of the three major transit planets, and all the houses that has exaltation or friendly houses will be impacted by one or more of these transiting planets. Hence, this year is going to be a major crossing point for many people, and one should really try and take full benefit of this transit.

The general prediction is that the world will witness major turbulence, and many economies worldwide will experience major recession. As challenges of global events will impact and consume individual luck and events, it is necessary for every individual to understand the mysteries of the new year.
