It has been a little more than a month since Walter Mercado died, and many Latinos still feel a hole in their lives where the iconic astrologer used to be. The Puerto Rican spiritual adviser was such a reliable source of guidance that it’s understandable that many people feel wary of trusting anyone else with the immense responsibility of interpreting their destiny. And with 2019 coming to a close and a new decade quickly dawning, the future feels more uncertain than ever. Every day that we’re inundated with news (both personal and political), it feels like the world is coming to an end.
But luckily, the universe provides enough bounty for everyone and in a myriad of ways. There is an abundance of spiritual advisers across Latin America and in the U.S. who are ready to help you find your footing on the path to your life’s purpose. These Latin American and Latino astrologers might offer you exactly what you need, and that includes plenty of predictions for 2020. Sure, starting a new year can be daunting, but there’s something comforting about having a bit of mystical insight to help guide the way.
From political change to personal growth, this is what spiritual guides predict is written in the stars for the upcoming year.

Lilana Zùñiga
In Colombia, spiritual adviser Lilana Zùñiga uses tarot cards to make several predictions for the South American country’s leaders. The stand-outs are Claudia López, who made history this year being elected the first woman and queer mayor of Bogotá, the country’s capital, and President Iván Duque, who’s had a troubling 2019 with nationwide protests against his administration. Zùñiga says López will see a lot of support in her first year but that her success will depend on who she surrounds herself with. For Duque, she senses energies of labor and determination and notes that he’ll need to make definitive decisions about the country, whether they’re liked by the masses or not.
