I’m publishing this as a quick reference for you all. It is a modified version of an Ephemeris astrologers use when looking at natal charts, transits, and retrogrades.
I have omitted the Moon phases, as these are almost a category all of their own. Maybe I’ll get to it before the end of the year. But, I’m really busy, so maybe it will wait until we get into the next year.
I encourage all readers to refer to this when life meets hurdles that cannot be explained easily, and can be explained by a transit or a retrograde. Remember in astrology, ‘this too shall pass’.
So, here we go with a look into 2020:

I hope this helps as a quick reference to transits and retrogrades during 2020. As you might see, both Mars and Mercury will be retrograde at the time of the 2020 election in the United States. I will be posting an in-depth article on this as soon as I can finish my research, collate the raw data, and write it. It should be up by the end of the month, as most of my research is finished.
