Horoscope glimpse for 2019
By Michael O’Connor
At the exact stroke of midnight 2019 begins, the planetary line-up is interesting, profound, powerful and somewhat complicated too. Sun and Saturn and Pluto and the Lunar South Node forming two close couplets in Capricorn, the waning Moon in Scorpio just a day behind conjunction with Venus there too, Mars at the critical 29th degree of Pisces, the last degree of the Zodiac and conjunct Chiron and Neptune is tow, Mercury and Jupiter in Sagittarius and Uranus the only planet still retrograde in Aries constitutes this complex array.
Interpreting the ‘influence’ of the planets is an art. It must always be kept in mind, as well, that how the planets align with our own, or our own company, city, province, state and country are relative. In other words, every case has to be examined on its own ground.
This horoscope provides a glimpse at the year ahead for each sign.
Horoscopes provide general interpretations and these can prove quite accurate as can be true with local, regional and even national news. Yet, how the news affects us is invariably a subjective reality.
We can liken the influence of these ‘outer’ synchronicities as like ripples with the main plop of the stone landing on our own personal lap yet each outer concentric rind represents the next level of influence such as with our family, neighbourhood, city… and, at very rare moments, the impact is global.
2019
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Seeing a bigger and a deeper perspective on reality, that aligns with your personal needs and core sense of security, will take a centre stage in 2019. With Mars in your sign as of New Year’s Day, literally, you will feel determined to get an early start. This includes exploring new territory both within and without. Important changes in your social status are featured.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Changes in or simply an activation of your core philosophy, will become evident as 2019 gets underway. While you will reserve considerable creative licence, you are likely to seek out allies, who are sure to include people of means and influence. You will be required to undergo a process of learning and, in some cases, of unlearning. Either way, you will be a force.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Breaking with tradition is likely to be true for you and in more ways than one. Clearing the old to make way for the new will be a central theme. Creating a new sense of security is literally linked to your whole state of health. Whether physical, mental, emotional or habitual, this year will amount to various modes of cleansing and you are wise to participate consciously.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
You can’t please all the people and you are increasingly more aware of this and less interested in trying. Yet, knowing which relationships are important and focusing to nurture them, above all others, will take center stage. Nurturing a deeper and more wholesome sense of faith and confidence is linked directly to the quality of your lifestyle.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Creative opportunities are steadily rising. You may have to take a few risks to succeed however. These can include confronting fears of failure or rejection. This is not the year to play it safe or be too comfortable or resist change. Discipline is a keyword for everyone and for you includes knowing how, where and when to make key investments to build for your future.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
The year 2019 for you includes answering the call. It includes rendering new modes of service to humanity. Incorporating your gifts and talents is the key to make your contributions truly meaningful both to you and others. In doing so, your confidence levels will rise. Practicality is a keyword so focus on what can prove useful to others and make a difference.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
New levels of responsibility in the world are having the effect of shaking things up close to home, and perhaps the other way around too. Expect to have more places to go, people to see, errands to run and responsibilities. The good news is that you are a born manager and tend to perform better as the challenge increases. Just remember, that sincere diplomacy works much better than dictatorship.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Changes in habitual modes of perception have and continue to get shaken and this trend will continue in 2019. Learning, unlearning and re-learning are all featured. Flexibility regarding what you deem important and to be priorities may prove necessary. You know the joke: ‘if you want to make God laugh, tell her your plans.’
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Risk, expansive and increase are keywords for you in 2019. Negatively, your financial flow could take a hit or two. Changes in your lifestyle are also consequentially likely. Positively, these changes could amount to more, not less. In either case, you will be challenged to adapt and this will include knowing when to hold, fold, walk and run.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Who and how you are will undergo another level of change this year. You will be pushed to think more about the realities, needs, and concerns of significant others. Circumstances will push you to have more faith in yourself, others and the world in general, and this could prove quite challenging at times. Anticipate changes and look to the future.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
The time has come to bring it down to earth. Some of your dreams will undergo revision and this may be true of some of what you deem to be reality, as well. Positively, your social network is increasing, if not literally perhaps at least virtually. Circumstances will also push you to make some major moves again perhaps literally or figuratively, before summer.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Changes linked to your social network will become evident early in the year. These are linked to the scope and quality and ability to communicate and network with others. Jupiter in Sagittarius will help you to take risks in your public and professional life. Of course, you have to be willing to do the work required. In many respects, this is a follow through on existing momentums.
