Overview of 2019
The year ahead is an interesting one, filled with contradictory trends, but offering us the opportunity to find a satisfying balance. Mind you, we’re not to stick with the middle road; instead, we’re encouraged to “go hard” in different areas with very different approaches. The pairing of Jupiter in Sagittarius, which is faithful and bold, with Saturn in Capricorn, which is disciplined and conservative, is one example – they’re starkly different approaches, yet they can work side by side without too much in the way of disruption. Later in the year when Jupiter enters Capricorn, we get the chance to merge these energies in a winning combination, although these bodies don’t officially meet until 2020 and while in the next sign, Aquarius. The North Node traveling through the sign of Cancer in a year when its opposite sign (Capricorn) is dominating is another example! This does help us recognize the need to do a whole lot of work in our inner AND outer worlds. With these energies, nothing is canceled out. Instead, we’re compartmentalizing, and quite successfully at that, in certain life departments.
Until early December, Jupiter travels through its own sign, Sagittarius. With Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces, there is a lot of this kind of thing going on in 2019! Last year, Jupiter expanded our awareness of our intimate relationships, personal power, and coping skills. Now, with Jupiter in Sagittarius, a new focus comes into play. We’re encouraged to increase our cultural and spiritual awareness, expand our higher minds, broaden our experiences, and put our faith in the universe this year.We trust in something higher than us, and this gives us a sense that we are doing the right thing and that we are spiritually protected–“things will work out” is the overall attitude now.
We should guard against over-confidence if it leads to recklessness, although we have some excellent support for this with Saturn in Capricorn concurrently. In 2019, we identify strongly with our opinions, beliefs, and perceptions, and we may take it quite personally if others disagree with us! While more planets in their own signs perform particularly well, there can be some myopia or stubbornness involved which should be a concern. Kept under watch, however, we’re likely to feel more natural, straightforward, and confident in 2019.
We have a stronger sense than usual that we’re creating our own opportunities. While embracing our bolder, fierier natures seems to be more conducive to growth and expansion this year with Jupiter in Sagittarius, we’re also tuning into our Saturn in Capricorn need to hunker down and attend to our practical needs.
This is a year to be more open-handed and generous, tolerant, and inspirational. It’s particularly important–more so than ever– to practice what we preach with both Jupiter in Sagittarius and Saturn in Capricorn! However, we should watch that we don’t always prioritize speaking the truth over exercising respect and sensitivity to others. We may find particular success in travel, education, teaching, sports, publishing, and foreign cultures until early December.
We can look to the Sagittarius part of our charts for where we may be finding our joy at this stage in our development in 2019. It’s where we are expanding or improving in some significant manner. There’s a need to refine our approach to these affairs in order to realize these benefits and gains, and with the fiery, mutable sign of Sagittarius, it’s about pursuing our objectives with more confidence and optimism without going overboard. Jupiter in adventurous, and virtuous Sagittarius urges us to seek knowledge, understanding, and truth. We learn and understand that we may be limiting ourselves if we stick to the same old, same old, and we instinctively want to venture out, do new things, meet new people, and learn new things. We’re encouraged to pull ourselves out of the mundane, at least from time to time, to nourish our spirits. The idea is that following tight or rigid schedules or planning ahead too carefully will slow down our growth.
Mind you, with Saturn in Capricorn at the same time, we should be finding a balance between expansion and contraction, aiming to recognize which areas of life require a more generous and bold approach (Sagittarius) and which areas require a more rule-conscious, conservative approach (Capricorn). Fortunately, we have our charts as guides!
Jupiter feels comfortable, authentic, and in charge as it transits Sagittarius. Even so, it’s not getting much help from the outer planets as it does.
We especially value honesty, uprightness, justice, optimism, enthusiasm, truth tellers, whistleblowers, explorers, open-mindedness, faithfulness, adventurousness, and courage.
This sign can be nomadic or restless at times. We’re in search of new and inspiring ideas and adventures or experiences, preferring to learn as we do, firsthand. We may find that trips or new experiences are especially refreshing during this cycle — more so than usual. Rewards seem to emerge as we move outside of our usual routines and bounds. There can be a stronger desire to find the truth, the word, or something that helps us find more meaning. We may see more of these themes and topics in the media as we become more and more fascinated with Sagittarian energies. We should be especially mindful of becoming too self-righteous.
It helps that Jupiter is in its own sign, although it’s often acting on its own or fighting Neptune this year! We may be wrestling with our expectations, faith, and dreams from January to October, and we may need to deal with the consequences of disorganization, extravagance, neglect, or exaggeration. We need to watch carefully for a tendency to evade and avoid things, as well as for writing ourselves new beliefs or philosophies that justify this avoidance. There can be a lot of wandering, meandering, and lack of groundedness happening with this influence. We might have troubles setting boundaries for ourselves. There is a need to come down to earth from time to time. Some routines, discipline, regularity, and rhythms should be enforced to counteract this tendency. Spiritual inspiration is a potential, however, as we shed false beliefs, expectations, and paths.
Along the same timeline, Jupiter forms a minor challenging aspect to Uranus (Uranus and Neptune are semi-square), reinforcing feelings of restlessness if our dreams are no longer fulfilling or inspiring us. Watch for impractical ventures and unusual tangents with weak staying power.
Fortunately, Saturn’s concurrent transit of Capricorn this year will help us simplify, although it can also temper our enthusiasm.
Saturn transits its own sign, Capricorn, throughout the year 2019. Saturn entered Capricorn on December 19th, 2017, and will continue moving through its own sign until the year 2020. Saturn does very well in Capricorn, as its ruler, although it can be a somewhat insular, narrowly focused, and perhaps strict or stern influence. This is a time for checking in with ourselves and the structures of our lives to see if we’re following the rules and meeting our responsibilities. Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces receive stabilizing energy. Aries, Cancer, and Libra may initially balk at what feels too restrictive. Capricorn gets a bit of both. Gemini, Leo, and Sagittarius don’t understand this energy as well as most others, and will need to adjust accordingly. Leo and Sagittarius, however, are completely in tune with Jupiter’s transit of Sagittarius until December.
Saturn will eventually meet up with Pluto in the sign, but not until 2020! In fact, Saturn doesn’t form very many major aspects to the outer planets during its transit through Capricorn.
Health issues in 2019 can be more frequently connected to the hips, thighs, arthritis, rheumatism, the spine and sciatic nerve, teeth, bones, fevers, and breathing abnormalities.
Uranus more officially moves from Aries to Taurus in 2019 after a back-and-forth transition period last year. It completes its journey of Aries on March 6, 2019, when it enters Taurus for the long haul. Uranus in Taurus is bound to shake up our attitude towards money and personal possessions, and it’s a time for bold innovations in these areas. We can expect changes to what we value on non-material levels as well, and we’re inclined to value ourselves in new ways through the course of this transit that lasts until April 2026.
For most of 2019, eclipses fall along the Cancer-Capricorn axis, and this is particularly interesting with the continued strong emphasis on Capricorn this year. This set of eclipses calls on us to seek a better balance between our attention to the outside world or our professional/public lives and our focus on developing our personal lives, family, or domestic/inner world. The final eclipse in the Leo-Aquarius set occurs in January with a Lunar Eclipse in Leo, which serves as a final thrust towards balancing romance and friendship, individual and group efforts, as well as personal and impersonal expression. With the North Node in Cancer all of 2019 (until May 2020), we are called upon to feed our foundation–all of that which we call “home,” including the foundation we have built inside of ourselves, needs to be tended to and honored. We need to pay more attention to our instincts, our deepest needs, and our feelings; and to recognize the importance of our family and our personal circle of friends and the security, sense of belonging, and safety we derive from them. We’re challenged to answer to our hearts and call upon our empathy as we step away from time to time from our practical affairs and viewpoint to consider what’s in our hearts and what’s for the best on emotional levels for ourselves and our loved ones.
While in 2018 both Venus and Mars were retrograde, 2019 is free of these apparent backward-moving cycles for these planets. Of course, it has its usual Mercury retrograde cycles and the retrogrades of the outer planets, as well, but the absence of retro Venus and Mars cycles tends to leave us feeling a little freer and less blocked. Love and desire seems a little more straightforward than it did last year.
The areas of our charts where we find Taurus can involve some shake-ups, new thinking and approaches, and radical changes in some cases. The areas of our charts where we find Capricorn involve some lessons and strengthening exercises, and they require simplifying and hard (or smarter) work. The Sagittarius areas receive boosts and blessings. In the last few weeks of 2019, Capricorn areas of our charts also thrive, and this feels particularly good since they have had in the past few years (and to continue to have) heavy energy with them. This doesn’t cancel things out; instead, it boosts the pleasure we derive from our firming up and strengthening actions.
In business in 2019, as with all other areas, there are very different themes working concurrently. Jupiter encourages a spontaneous, courageous approach to business, while Saturn wants us to be conservative. While Jupiter asks us to grow, expand, and believe, Saturn asks us to simplify, test, and question. We may need to use our better judgment on when to do what, although Jupiter would prefer we don’t plan too much ahead and instead leave some room for spontaneity, inspiration, and discovery! They’re both quite stubbornly and comfortably in their own signs, so they won’t want to compromise. However, there is one thing that Jupiter in Sagittarius and Saturn in Capricorn DO agree upon, and it’s that we need to be principled to succeed in business and career during current transits. It’s an important time for doing the right moral thing! We should also be approaching money in an entirely new way as Uranus transits Taurus most of the year. We need to deal with money and personal possessions in new ways and learn how to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge and can be an important business focus or trend. There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely. Income and the energy we put into making money can be variable.
Concerning love and relationships, Sagittarius is not especially committed or content, and as such, relationships that leave us feeling wanting or that seem to suppress our desire to grow and improve can become hard to take during Jupiter’s transit of Sagittarius. Even so, we give others the benefit of the doubt during this transit, believing in one another more than usual. Truth and justice are most important to us while Jupiter is in Sagittarius and this, combined with strict Saturn in Capricorn, suggests that we may be less tolerant of lies and deception in our relationships than usual during this cycle. We might consider exploring, traveling, and learning together to improve our connections. We’re attracted to people who are spontaneous, bold, honest, brave, and enthusiastic. There’s a revolution happening with Uranus in Taurus, too, and it’s about approaching sexuality and gratification differently. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. We’re challenging what we previously valued and we are embracing a new-age view of the feminine. Women’s “roles” in relationships are revolutionizing this year and in coming years.
Jupiter heads into the sign of Capricorn on December 2, 2019, where it finds headliners, Saturn and Pluto, already settled in! While Jupiter is in Capricorn, we attract the most good fortune when we organize and direct, conduct ourselves with integrity, are ethical and mature. We need to take a disciplined, committed, step-by-step approach to the realization of our goals, and we enjoy getting organized and in control of our lives!
We have a strong need for concrete results as we close out 2019. Our attitude towards work and practical, realistic action is positive. Our judgment is prudent and mature, but we may lack the imagination or risk-taking attitude that allows us to innovate. We need to learn to be more flexible and tolerant of weaknesses. Jupiter is in its fall in the sign of Capricorn–in other words, it is not at its happiest, most expansive position in this Saturn-ruled sign. This transit increases our commitment as we find more joy in taking charge of our lives. We’re ambitious and resourceful now.
New Year 2019 Chart
The New Year chart’s exact timing depends on where you are in the world, of course, so the above is a 0-degree Aries chart.
Where we find Capricorn in our charts, we’re firming up, refining, and perfecting in 2019; and where we find Sagittarius in our charts, we’re discovering more joy and opportunity this year until December. Saturn fixes, balances, and gives us lessons whichever sign, house, or point it visits. Jupiter teaches too, but uses a far different approach, aiming to open us up and fill us with faith and courage to explore and discover. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto play their parts, too, of course, as do the inner planets and luminaries on a smaller scale, and my yearly horoscopes (overviews of which are below), monthly horoscopes, and daily horoscopes interpret their roles in the solar charts of each sign.

Aries
The year 2019 brings fabulous energy for both work and exploration, dear Aries. While you can receive some seemingly very different messages this year, it’s a period with immense potential for advancement and enjoyment once you find a way to fit everything in.
On the one hand, you have heavyweight planets pushing you to perform and accomplish this year (and much of the next). It’s a power period, although it may not be until the tail-end of 2019 when you really come into your own in this respect. It can be a time of quite a bit of hard work and recognition. You’re challenged to simplify and streamline, but also to take charge, particularly with your career and responsibilities. Changes are necessary in the process, and while you can feel overtaxed and possibly pressured at times, these are improvements that will benefit you for years to come!
On the other hand, you have Jupiter encouraging you to explore, discover, and enjoy life to its fullest. This means stepping out of the office or out of your comfort zone from time to time and making the most of your time away. Adventure, travel, and learning may be on the agenda now, and these can be immensely satisfying.
Still another strong force this year is about your home and family or personal life. You’re encouraged to devote special time to these areas of life, and not just superficial attention, but pouring your heart into what you’re doing. How will you manage all of these things? You do receive some help from Saturn itself with time management, but you may feel like you’re juggling things from time to time until you get into a comfortable groove. The idea is to make full use of your time when you’re working hard to achieve your goals, when spending time with family or taking things easy, and when you’re enjoying some hearty recreation.
Particularly from your birthday period forward in 2019, you’re in a wonderfully creative period when you’re more able to compartmentalize in healthy ways, fully tuning out work while resting, for example, and working with few distractions when you’re pursuing your goals.
You’re closing an important chapter in your life as Uranus moves out of your sign permanently in March. Uranus was in Aries since 2010, pushing you to find yourself and assert your independence. Now that it’s moving on, you’re likely to feel more settled and less rebellious or triggered. Uranus moves into your resources sector and will stay there all the way until 2026, and you now begin a phase in which you treat your money, business, and possessions quite differently. It can be a time of some upheaval and unpredictability, but also innovation and progress with these matters. Changes in these areas can free yourself up for an opportunity period with your work and health from the end of August through September. Whether money means freedom to you or freedom is about detachment from certain possessions, this is a time of an evolving relationship with your material affairs.
The year 2019 can be an active and satisfying period for publishing, sharing your ideas, and learning new skills that will boost the upcoming career boon, starting in December and running through most of 2020.
By December, you’ll feel not only more ambitious but also more capable of handling your ambition and reaching your goals! You’re embarking on perhaps the most potent period for your career or life path goals of your life.

Taurus
You’re in a wonderful period for self-discovery in 2019, dear Taurus. Uranus moves into your sign more consistently from March forward (last year you had a sneak peek of this energy), and Jupiter spends much of the year boosting your intimate world. The potential for growth and improvement is tremendous.
Jupiter in your solar eighth house until December is powerful for your intimate life. This is a period that’s potentially rich for enjoying private time, better self-understanding, or for developing a close relationship. It’s also a powerful influence for gaining others’ support, which can take the form of loans or moral support. Love is rich and deep in 2019.
But while you’re developing a rich, profound connection with a person or a project, you’re exploring your independence with Uranus now in your sign for seven years! You’re naturally a peace-loving sign, but with Uranus in Taurus, freedom may be more important to you than keeping the peace these days, and this is a radical change on some levels. People around you may feel as if they’re dealing with a brand new person at times in 2019 and beyond.
Uranus awakens your consciousness to areas of your life in which you’ve felt restricted. There may be unexpected events that free you from confining situations or past conditioning patterns. You are more inspired now, and your personality bubbles with bursts of enthusiasm. There can be a significant break from the past that propels your life forward. It’s important to watch for rebellious behavior — to aim to act rather than react. Uranus transits can be times when there is a significant new influence, person, or path in your life that rather dramatically deviates from your version of normal. Those born from April 20-27 are most affected by this transit in 2019, while this energy is stirring for the rest of the sign.
Your mental outlook, belief systems, studies, and personal interests continue to be in strong focus this year. In 2019, you’re challenged to get your daily affairs into order in addition to extra attention to your more lofty endeavors. There are details to handle! Skills development may seem a little tedious with all of your larger interests in play, but it can be very useful and rewarding, and perhaps quite necessary.
Use the power of Mars in your sign from mid-February through to the last week of March for moving personal plans and interests forward. Love and creativity are in especially good form late August through to the end of September. Feelings can come into your life very suddenly now — this can be like a starburst on an emotional level. Still, there are complications in love this year – things need sorting. All year, but especially after your birthday month, watch for overreaching. Chances are moderating behavior will help simplify your life.
Long-term friendships may be forged this year, particularly through networks, personal interests, studies, the internet, and long distances. There may perhaps be some conflicts between friends and lovers or blurred boundaries in a particular relationship. You have Saturn and Pluto encouraging you to simplify and improve your life this year, and Neptune inspiring you, all the while with Uranus exciting you and demanding changes. Saturn’s support of your sign helps keep you grounded and stable, even with all of the changes and new desires brewing now, which is comforting for you as a Taurus.

Gemini
The year 2019 is potentially very strong for those of you seeking a happy partnership, dear Gemini. Others tend to be supportive, helpful, and positive forces in your life. You’re likely to derive much joy from your relationships, and more likely, one special one in particular. Challenging relationships, or challenges IN relationships, tend to be left behind in 2019.
At the same time, you have some sorting to do in your intimate life or regarding shared finances, emotional and financial support. Saturn and Pluto continue to push through your intimacy sector, demanding you straighten things out. This can mean dealing with or managing debt to better serve you and your future. Saturn, in fact, is not as worried about short-term happiness as it is concerned with long-term success. So, if you need to deal with some temporary discomfort related to finances, relationships, and personal comfort in order to straighten out your life, then Saturn is okay with it. For example, if you are dependent on someone or something, such as through an unhealthy habit or addiction, the detox period can be challenging, but totally worth it in the long run. That’s what this Saturn transit is about.
By March, Uranus finally moves on from your friendship sector. This can mean your social life settles down, becoming more predictable, or at least, less uncertain. Uranus has been bringing excitement and some unreliability with friends, groups, and associates for years. Now, Uranus is moving on. Ideally, you’ve met some inspiring people and learned a great deal more about your associations and which ones represented you well. Uranus’ new seven-year transit of your privacy sector helps release you from unconscious habit patterns, perhaps stirring up your private life in the process. Slowly but surely, you’re detaching from problematic elements of your life in preparation for Uranus’ transit of your sign when you’ll be starting fresh. This may be a time of radical changes in alliances and allegiances. Aim to free yourself from outdated ideas and attitudes that are keeping you attached to unhealthy paths.
Eclipses for you this year are mostly focused on finances, possessions, and possessiveness. You’re encouraged to improve your ability to rely on yourself and to boost your income, and you have all the right tools to do so in 2019.
A power period for moving personal plans forward and for asserting yourself arrives from the first of April to mid-May. An especially creative period for your home and family life is likely from the last week of August through September.
Relationships are rich and complicated, with you coming through ahead overall. New ideas are brilliant. There can be continued general uncertainty about career or life path directions with Neptune’s long-term transit of your solar tenth house, and perhaps some problems related to this issue in a partnership, but some steady support for getting on the right track via a Saturn-Neptune aspect in 2019. Your expectations even out. You’ll be seeing definite improvements to your life as you let go of unhealthy expectations and pressures. You more readily find guidance, and you might stumble upon a helpful person or project at this time that can change your life, particularly related to career.

Cancer
The broader themes of 2019 include partnering and independence, along with your work, health, and habits, dear Cancer. There is a continued focus on partnerships and getting along with others, as well as a new theme in which you’re exploring your ability to stand on your own two feet. You’re encouraged, in fact, to take the lead! Tied into these efforts involves improving self-care programs and your health and habits. More joy can be discovered in your daily routines and your work this year, and this helps you thrive across the board.
Until December, Jupiter transits your solar sixth house, boosting the availability of work as well as your joy in having a daily purpose and successful routine. 2019 can be a year of increased job satisfaction and vocational fulfillment. There can be times when you feel you’re juggling since you frequently experience a call to explore beyond your daily routines. Travel, publishing, sharing, and education can compete for your time, but as long as you don’t stretch yourself to the limits, this is a robust year for work.
Areas of uncertainty and confusion, but also of potential inspiration, continue to be education, travel, publishing, belief systems, and personal philosophies. This year, however, you’re likely to feel more directed, grounded, and purposeful than usual, even if some of these areas remain undefined. A partner or special friend can help reinforce your ideas, or bonding with an extended family or people with whom you share a common interest can be especially rewarding. A partner or a relationship can inspire you to reach new heights, explore new places or ideas, or to learn a new skill.
A big shift this year involves Uranus transiting your social sector. You had a sneak peek of this in 2018, and this year, it sticks with you from March forward. This is a lively, although colorful sporadic, transit that excites activities and connections with groups and friends for the better part of the coming seven years! Your very sense of belonging is in flux during this lengthy transit when you may be finding yourself through your associations. There can be new friendships or changing interests that connect you with an all-new crowd. Unusual or colorful people and alliances can figure strongly in your life now.
Uranus is leaving your career and reputation sector behind, and these areas are likely to stabilize, although Chiron is taking its place, and you have more “work” to do involving getting to know your place in the world, your life path, and the right career for you. You need these things to authentically reflect your personality at this stage of life. This is a strong transit for the healing professions, and it’s a long-term one.
An exceptional period for studies, interests, writing, and communicating or transit arises from the last week of August through September when a concentrated focus on your solar third house suggests you should keep your eyes and ears open for exciting projects.
With the Uranus move, too, you’re feeling less rebellious or challenged by the rest of the world, which helps you to discover your true calling more organically. This is about feeling, exploring, and intuiting rather than reacting, and it’s good for you. The outer planets that challenge you this year are fewer, overall. The ones that do are Saturn and Pluto challenges coming from your partnership sector, and one-to-one relationships are the central area of potential strife and tension. By December, Jupiter moves into this same position along with these heavyweight planets, and while it will also be in opposition to your sign, Jupiter helps you find more joy and pleasure in your one-to-one relationships. This wonderful influence will stick with you through most of 2020.

Leo
The bigger headlines of 2019 for you involve romance, creativity, work, service, and health, dear Leo. These are areas of increased activity and reward.
Jupiter is now in its own sign and, in your solar chart, journeying quite happily through your sector of joy and heart. This transit provides a terrific boost for your spirit. You’re motivated to pursue your heart’s desire, whatever that may be at this point in your life’s journey. Romantic and creative pursuits expand and fulfill you more than usual (until December) after which Jupiter heads into an already busy area of your chart: the house of work, health, routines, and habits. There, it works its magic, stimulating more fulfillment, joy, and success in your daily affairs and inspiring you to improve your work and health.
Uranus at the top of your solar chart is a powerful influence on your social standing, reputation, and career aspirations. You had a sneak peek of this energy last year, and now (from March 2019 forward), it’s sticking. This influence is with you for the coming seven years, exciting your ambitions and also encouraging you to redefine what you want to do with your life. You may recognize talents that you never knew you had, and this can be a sudden, exciting discovery. Your life path or professional life may be changing now, and for some, there can be challenges dealing with current authority figures that motivate a break from the past. It’s a time of more experimentation or attention to alternatives regarding your career or reputation. If you’ve felt confined or inauthentic in these areas, this transit is likely to address these problems. There can be times when your need for independence can dominate and drive many of your actions.
While problems related to shared finances or financial support can continue this year with Neptune’s long-term transit of your solar eighth house. However, you enjoy opportunities for increased stability or clarity with these things as Saturn gives Neptune support, and vice versa. This can be an excellent time to make changes to your current lifestyle that will benefit you for years to come. You are better able to manage your time, balancing out hard work with inspiration. You are more aware of the need for a balanced approach in your relationships, with money, and regarding diet and habits. The eclipses this year also encourage you to find a better work-rest balance. The North Node’s transit helps you to avoid becoming lost in minutia and to consider, at least from time to time, your deeper feelings and needs.
While you’re inclined to work very hard both on work and health or self-care, you’re also finding a better balance in your life through self-expression, leisure, and play. From December forward, though, you’re likely to put most of your efforts into your practical affairs, and thoroughly enjoy yourself as you do. Until then, it’s a time for expanding your leisure time, enjoying a special romance, or taking great pleasure in a special hobby or creative pursuit. 2019 can be a particularly fertile year on physical or creative levels.
Tidying up your routines continues to have strong significance now. You’re thinking about the long-term, not only making things work for you right now, and with Saturn in your solar sixth house, you are ready to make a few sacrifices regarding immediate pleasures if it will help make your future and the longterm more secure. It’s a maturing process that’s happening now, and it’s largely directed towards your work, services, health, and habits. Do watch for overdoing the work angle again this year. Even so, you’re heading towards a stellar period for these areas of life that sticks with you through 2020, and it begins in December. Skills development is favored now in preparation for the opportunities this upcoming period promises.

Virgo
The year ahead is both stimulating and stabilizing, dear Virgo. While Neptune continues to oppose your sign this year, suggesting some lack of direction, you have several outer planets in supportive aspect, including ambitious Pluto, steady and practical Saturn, and exciting Uranus.
Chiron leaves its challenging aspect to your sign this year, too, and while it doesn’t flow along with you, there is less pressure on you to find yourself through your relationships. This takes some of the pressure off relationships themselves, although you might continue to hold some high expectations of them. You’re in a fabulous position to hone a creative talent or skill and to explore new and exciting topics or lines of study. You’re also discovering new ways of expressing yourself that feel right.
Until December, you’re in a terrific position to improve your home and family life. This can be about moving or upgrading your living conditions and arrangements, or simply finding more pleasure and joy in your domestic world. You are less inclined to want to move about beyond your own familiar environment, taking comfort in and deriving pleasure from being somewhat of a homebody. Mind you, Uranus moves into your adventure sector from March forward, and this can excite your senses, stimulating interest in enjoying some new adventures, whether on the physical or mental plane (or both).
You’re opening your mind to new ideas and concepts, and opening your heart to new experiences and ways of approaching your life with this long-term transit that supports your efforts to make small, meaningful changes. It’s a robust period for sharing your ideas, travel, publishing, higher education, and alternative beliefs.
While there has been a lot of (and very necessary) attention to your personal life, a romance, or creative endeavors again this year, the eclipses and the North Node of the Moon’s transit encourages you to reach out to others, include them in your plans, gain support from friends and give back to them, a group, or the community. It’s a time for gaining more perspective and balance.
Neptune continues to transit your partnership sector, and since it’s such a long-term transit, it continues to be a time of trial and error as you explore your expectations of others and wrestle with some tendency to project your ideals on others. This year, you’re less likely to allow your relationship goals interfere with your seeking of fulfillment in other areas of life. Let relationship goals inspire you to better yourself for best results – you get support for this as Saturn and Neptune form a harmonious aspect most of the year.
The year is potentially brilliant for your creativity. You’re exploring new ways of expressing yourself and your self-confidence improves as you pull out of yourself and greet the world with more positivity. Your desire is to make a mark. At the same time, you may be embracing the reality that you need more structure in your creative world in order to advance your skills. There is a dance involved with this – finding the right balance between structure and spontaneity is within your reach this year. The last week of August through to the end of September is a brilliant period for personal opportunities as a planetary lineup forms in your sign.
Your innate flexibility and adaptability are in stronger form in 2019. More than usual, you don’t want to be told what to think, and you’re inclined to explore and experiment with new ideas and concepts. At the same time, you are expanding your inner life and domestic world, making serious improvements to your living conditions and family relationships.

Libra
The year 2019 brings fantastic energy for learning, connecting, studying, and sharing, dear Libra. It’s a time of new interests and motivating communications. New channels for communicating and getting around can open up to you. There is more to do with reworking and renovating your home life or family relationships this year, and by December, you’ll find much to enjoy in so doing. In fact, you’re embarking on a powerful period for making improvements to your personal life. Until then, you have skills to develop and ideas that inspire and excite you, and you’re likely to enjoy a busy pace.
Uranus leaves behind your partnership sector for good after spending seven years there, and now more permanently moves into your intimacy sector. Unexpected events and feelings are stimulated regarding your intimate life, financial life, and support. On some level, you’re seeking more freedom with your sexuality, in your relationships, and regarding support. Your values are changing as you detach yourself from certain connections in your life that you previously thought little about. Changing circumstances may contribute to this new philosophy of life, or a new mindset or approach leads to changes in your life regarding your attachments.
With the North Node of the Moon transiting the top of your solar chart in the sign of Cancer, you’re receiving some strong encouragement to attend to your professional life with more emotional openness, heart, and nurture or care. It’s a time for establishing a better work-home balance. This is a period for putting yourself out there more often, even if this is not your natural inclination at this point in your life’s journey. Pushing yourself just a little out of your comfort zone can pleasantly surprise you now.
This is a powerful period for putting more confidence in your studies and learning. You’re connecting more easily with others this year. Your mindset is especially positive, and this opens up new opportunities for you. There’s more curiosity, movement, and liveliness in your daily life in 2019. Do watch for overextending yourself by taking on too much work or too many personal interests, as optimistic as you are that you can handle it all! Too much of even a good thing can become burdensome. With Jupiter square Neptune this year, it’s a good exercise to remind yourself of your normal or usual boundaries and limits to check in with whether you may be pushing too far.
Your work and home life are likely to combine in both magical and practical ways this year as they’re connected via a Saturn-Neptune sextile for most of 2019. This can be a good time for working from (or on) the home for some of you, or family motivates or supports your work more than usual, for example. Your dreams are big, but you’re also keeping your feet on the ground.
Even more focus on your domestic world — and constructive attention at that — is in store from December forward. You’re entering a power period for straightening out your home life, family, personal life, or living conditions, and it feels especially good, rewarding, and satisfying to do so. Until then, it can be immensely useful to work on problem areas and compulsive or automatic behaviors that are keeping you from thriving, and 2019 is particularly good about getting you to confront them. With so much activity at the bottommost part of your solar chart, you may be a little too insular or focused on your inner world and personal life, and sometimes you need to pull away from it just a little to gain perspective. That’s what the North Node in your career sector is encouraging you to do.

Scorpio
Your personal finances come into focus, and nice developments regarding your earning power are in store in 2019, dear Scorpio. Virtually all year, Jupiter expands your feelings of abundance and satisfaction and should bring a profitable and productive period if you avoid the pitfalls of overspending.
You are likely to feel more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living, and you may choose to develop your talents or otherwise boost your earning power. There can be opportunities to improve your future financial situation. A significant purchase or sale is possible this year. Keep in mind that feeling good could bring you to the stores as you temporarily forget about the future! This is a stronger potential with Jupiter’s square to Neptune. Try to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket.
You may experience some conflicts between your desire for security and a stable income and your needs for entertainment, romance, creativity, or pleasure. Expanding your resources is important to you now, and so are taking a few risks and enjoying your bounty! It can be challenging to accommodate both needs at once. The excitement in your romantic and social life may distract you from increasing your earning power. Love and money may mix poorly at times this year, as expectations can play with your usually powerful common sense.
Learning, study, and communications projects continue to consume a lot of your time, and perhaps even more so than in previous years. This year, you’re encouraged to expand your horizons and to get out and about more often. Coming up for air will do you a world of good and help balance your life out. Emotional openness is an essential goal in 2019. Loosening your grip just a little on your projects or studies can help you gain perspective.
Uranus moves into opposition to your sign this year and will stick around for seven years. You had a sneak peek of this last year, and now this transit is sticking (from March forward). Big changes in the dynamics of close partnerships (personal and business ones) are necessary as Uranus moves through your partnership sector, shaking up the status quo. You will need to allow a partner more freedom and space, and there will be times when you feel that you suffer as a result. However, it can also be a time of brand new approaches to relating that are exciting and rewarding, even if at times they feel uprooting.
A long-standing influence leaves your life in 2019, and it’s one that wreaked some havoc on your daily schedules and work. In 2019, you might find that you begin to lead a more scheduled, organized life. Ideally, you’ve discovered more joy and perhaps your calling related to work and service or daily routines.
New developments related to friends, networks, or group associations are exciting from the last week of August through the end of September.
A useful aspect between Saturn and Neptune benefits your communications, creative pursuits, and relationships this year. Your judgment is quite good for making long-term plans, and a romance or creative endeavor can be both inspiring and practical. Making a dream work in the real world can be satisfying. It’s an excellent year for developing skills that will benefit you greatly as you enter the next phase of your life. From December forward, you’re beginning an especially powerful period for studies, learning, and connecting.

Sagittarius
This is set to be one of your banner years, dear Sagittarius! The year 2019 finds your ruler, expansive Jupiter, in your sign until December, and you can similarly find yourself more comfortable in your skin in 2019, feeling very much your true self. In truth, many Sagittarians have felt out of their element in recent years, largely due to a Saturn transit to their sign followed by Jupiter in the background of their solar charts. The year 2018 was an improvement, but also found you a little reclusive. Now, there is a sense that they’re back on track, coming out of your shell, and more confident than ever.
While you’re expressing yourself more freely and joyfully this year, you’re also paying more attention to your practical affairs. You have two heavyweight planets in your sector of money, income, and personal resources, insisting that you simplify, transform, and shape up these things. It can be an essential time for developing and honing your talents, watching your money more closely, reducing or getting rid of redundancies, and treating yourself with more respect. The idea now is to take care of your resources so that they take care of you! Wherever Saturn is currently transiting, we may face some lessons, but while there can be some need to downsize or clean up your act, it’s not anything you can’t handle, and it will serve you exceptionally well going forward.
While Saturn is asking you to be responsible with your money, Uranus wants you to find a more authentic approach to your job, daily life, and routines. This can be tricky at times, but manageable. You’re moving toward a fresh approach to your work and the daily details of your life. Irregular schedules and perhaps some disruptions and tensions are possible this year as you adjust to this influence. Your working hours may become non-traditional, or a job may be unconventional. You are restless with routines and tend to answer to your own internal rhythm rather than paying attention to society’s (and nature’s!) rhythms. Work that is limiting or lifeless drags you down more than usual. It would be wise to find work that offers you not only variety and stimulation but also the chance to invent and create. You may also take an interest in alternative health methods. You would benefit greatly from yoga or other mind-body therapies now.
It’s also interesting to note that Uranus is leaving your sector of romance and creativity for good in March since it’s been such a long-term influence. This can point to some settling down and more reliability with romance, relationships with your children, creative projects, and hobbies, whichever of these is applicable.
Uncertainty about living arrangements or conditions can figure strongly in 2019, too, and can sometimes throw you off your game. This is due to an ongoing Jupiter-Neptune square that holds some potential to waste your time or could lead to passing over opportunities, only if you let it. Watch for procrastination and escapism, especially, and for attaching yourself to impractical ventures. It’s fine to shoot for more, but setting your sights too high may lead you to miss out on real opportunities that are right in front of you. The key may be to accept that some areas of your life are up in the air and to focus as much as possible on what you do have some control over.
You may be dealing with control or possessiveness issues this year as Saturn and Pluto are pushing for a new way of approaching what’s yours and the North Node is encouraging you to round things out with a healthier approach to sharing and support, which seems to compete with your desire to be self-sufficient. Your best bet is to look for opportunities to turn around a problematic emotional or financial situation. You get tremendous support this year for your efforts to take charge of your finances, develop your talents, and find new ways to make money from hidden or current resources, as well as for business development.
Most of 2019 is about exploration and discovery as you test your boundaries, express yourself, and enjoy greater confidence. As the year advances, there is a stronger focus on building upon the fabulous new ideas you’ve picked up during this intuitive, spontaneous period. You’ll be more interested in concrete results, and with Jupiter, your ruler, heading towards alignment with Pluto as you close out the year, you get tremendous cosmic support for achieving them.

Capricorn
2019 is an important year for making improvements and working hard, dear Capricorn. There can be times when you may be working in the background or so involved in what you’re doing that you seem as if you were! However, you’re laying down the groundwork for bigger things to come, which may arrive as soon as 2020.
It’s a powerful time for getting your affairs in order. When Jupiter enters your sign in December for a yearlong stay, you’ll get a nice boost of forward-looking energy, and you’ll feel like you’re taking off.
Until then, Jupiter moves through your solar twelfth house — for most of 2019. Activities that take place “behind the scenes” or otherwise privately are especially beneficial during this period. This is a time when you can rid yourself of self-destructive tendencies, deep-seated fears, and deeply-ingrained tendencies towards guilty feelings. Jupiter can feel much like a guardian angel in this private area of your solar chart. Meditation and retreats may be particularly beneficial to you now, acting to regenerate and invigorate you.
It can also be a time when you’re wrapped up in a project that is not yet ready for release. You may need some extra time or solitude to complete everything you want to accomplish now. It’s a stellar period for enjoying laying down the groundwork for a future pursuit. You’re sure to enjoy your quiet time more than ever.
At the same time, Saturn in your sign is pushing for a little more accountability, revving up your ambition. Although Jupiter and Saturn are very different energies, and there can be times when the year 2019 feels disjointed, there is also incredible potential for finding a healthy balance — a work hard, rest hard type of thing!
Saturn in your own sign can, at times, feel a little rough — stark, even. However, it’s also a time for cleaning up your act in various ways, getting back on track, and starting anew, preparing for easier times to come. You’re relying on yourself more so than usual. Sometimes, you might feel left to your own devices. However, you can also discover that you function quite well in this position. You’re building your self-reliance now. Saturn is your planetary ruler, in fact, and you understand its energies more than most.
As well, Saturn receives beautiful although subtle backing from Neptune this year, and it’s a great support system, not necessarily in the classic sense but on the levels of faith and inspiration. You’ll enjoy improved communications and self-expression this year. Learning and studies flow well in 2019. Transportation options may open up to you. New and improved ways of getting around or connecting can change your life in crucial ways.
Jupiter square to Neptune much of the year requires some attention. There can be times when you’re led astray by out-of-control dreams or perhaps some escapism. You should probably watch for speaking too soon on matters, or jumping into contracts or agreements before you’re truly ready for them. Otherwise, it’s a fine period for expanding your mind to embrace new possibilities, even if all of the details are not yet ironed out.
Uranus is leaving your home and family sector in March, this time for good! This also means it’s no longer challenging you. In fact, it’s now supporting you and will continue to do so until 2026. You’re leaving uncertainty with living arrangements and conditions or family matters behind you this year.
Uranus in your solar fifth house is a relative newcomer and a long-term guest that brings excitement – perhaps even thrills – but also possible instability with romance and creative output from time to time. You’re discovering your inner child and getting in touch with your creative muse, and there can be some ups and downs in the process. These things are not something you can schedule or control! You may be attracting unusual, progressive, alternative, or erratic people into your world now, particularly on a romantic level. You can also deal with matters of independence and personal freedom with your children or in your dating life, if applicable. All in all, this is a wonderful transit for loosening you up and encouraging a more casual, natural, and creative approach to expressing yourself.
The year is intensively Capricorn-focused, and this means you’re continuing to focus on personality development and independence, self-assertion, and self-expression. You also have a strong push towards balancing this all out with partnership, and you’re encouraged to find a balance through special attention to a special someone.

Aquarius
The continued emphasis on your solar twelfth house means 2019 is another year of relative quiet, withdrawal, and repose, dear Aquarius. However, Jupiter’s transit of your social sector for most of the year helps round this all out. On the one hand, you’re inclined to keep to yourself, work on things behind the scenes, and keep a low profile. On the other, you’re enjoying a social boost — a boon, even!
People love being around you, and you them in 2019, more so than usual. You benefit from your connections, too. Yes, you require lots of downtime and space to recharge in between, but you thoroughly enjoy sharing, feedback, and camaraderie with others.
Another big change this year involves your planetary ruler, Uranus, moving into the sign of Taurus for the long haul — until 2026, in fact! Taurus is a fellow Fixed sign — stubborn, persistent, and loyal like you but is from the Earth family rather than your Air, and you don’t always understand its energy (unless you have Taurus strong in your natal chart). Taurus may feel a little too set in its ways, traditional, and practical for your liking at times, and now that your planetary ruler’s sitting in its sign for years to come, you’ll need to grow more accustomed to it. No worries — you have a lot of time to do so — but there is an adjustment period involved.
Interesting to note when an outer planet moves to a new sign is not only where it’s going but what it left behind. This is because it’s been affecting one particular area of your chart for many years, stirring up change and some instability, too. In your case, this was your solar third house. Learning, studies, transportation, and general mental outlook have all been impacted. These were areas that were up in the air, changeable, and erratic, but also opportunities for new insights and excitement. You’ve diversified your interests and explored your options. Going forward, these things are stabilizing and settling down. For some, this means settling on a course of study after a lengthy period of uncertainty. In 2019, you’re likely to enjoy better daily schedules and routines and more focus on your studies with fewer distractions.
Now, Uranus is transiting your sector of home and family (starting in March), and these are areas of some upheaval. This can happen on a psychological too (or instead) — you’re not always feeling settled with your living arrangements or in your inner world, and you’re on a journey of finding yourself now and in the years ahead. If you’ve been rooted in one place, this may change, even if you’ve felt quite fine in your position. You may experience an itch to make a change, or for some, it’s something that is now necessary. Moving may happen, and it can be a relatively sudden thing for some. Others are seeking a change within their homes or with their living conditions and there can be much activity in the domestic environment.
This influence stirs up quite a bit in the psyche, too, and Aquarians will find a lot is going on psychologically in 2019 and beyond. This is particularly prominent from 2019-2020 with a strong emphasis on your solar twelfth house reinforcing the focus on your inner dynamics. This is a time when you can be holding onto a secret or private concerns and worries, such that despite 2019’s social focus, there’s much going on under the hood. This can be a revealing although often quite private time in your life.
Your intimate world gets a boost from the last week of August to well into September. It’s a fine time for close relationships, family life, loans, and support.
2019 is a year for excitement about new opportunities, projects, and friendships or group associations. It’s one of the best periods in twelve years for connecting with like-minded people and enjoying good company. At the same time, eclipses and the North Node point to an important period for improving your habits, schedules, and work or health routines. You’re challenged to pay more attention to routines, and you may be surprised just how well you do with some good habits in place. It’s a good time for finding more meaningful work.

Pisces
The year 2019 puts much emphasis on your social life and your career or responsibilities, dear Pisces, with some lessons to learn and tidying up to do, but also excellent opportunities to advance your goals.
You may be receiving wonderful feedback for your work, efforts, or talents, and this inspires you to do your best. It’s an exceptional year for work success and improved relationships with bosses, parents, teachers, and the like. People in high places take a shine to you. Or, you take on a managerial role and feel comfortable in that role. Having a plan or a well-defined goal in mind can improve your life at this time. Your enthusiasm is brilliant now.
Again this year (and part of the next), Saturn’s influence may depress business earnings for some, but Jupiter’s influence is excellent for your reputation and career. As such, some of you may find it easy to deal with modest earnings because you’re enjoying your work so much, or it can be a necessarily leaner time as you prepare for bigger gains at a later date. For others, it’s a time of less interest on material rewards and intense focus on burgeoning ambitions to excel and perform at your best.
Even so, Uranus moves out of your money house permanently beginning in March, and this can help steady, settle, and stabilize your resources and finances after a rather lengthy period of some unpredictability in these areas. Of special interest, too, is where it’s going now since Uranus spends seven years in a sign and is known to destabilize and excite the senses. From now until 2026, Uranus will transit your sector of communications, mental interests, the mind, mental outlook, transportation, and connections. This transit changes how you learn, think, communicate, and connect. New interests can come on suddenly this year and beyond. You’re challenging some of the beliefs or modes of thinking you’ve held and employed for most of your life now, and it can lead to breakthroughs and perhaps some interruptions in your studies or daily life. It’s an exciting, although not always consistent, period for learning and sharing.
This growing need to develop and diversify on mental levels can take you interesting places in 2019. There is likely to be some trial and error involved with your interests and studies, and you may want to watch for sudden attractions to impractical ventures.
A wonderfully reinforcing aspect in play for most of the year involves your modern ruler, Neptune, and its stabilizing aspect to Saturn. This is a subtle but helpful transit that supports your efforts. While there is undoubtedly a tendency to go over the top or to waste some opportunities this year (due to Jupiter’s square to Neptune), you’re practical overall and you can find nice support from a good friend or network, or strength from immersing yourself in a special cause or project in 2019.
Personal and professional goals may clash. This can go either way: either you’re inclined to overdo both to the point of exhaustion or to stay in a state of limbo, unsure where to put your energies. Do your best to avoid either extreme and seek out some balance for best results now. Neptune’s transit of your sign isn’t known for its clarity, but you do have some support for a stronger sense of direction this year with Saturn’s sextile to Neptune and Jupiter’s transit of your solar tenth house, so take advantage.
Love can be unpredictable at times this year, and you have the North Node encouraging you to find yourself creatively or romantically. Don’t be afraid to stand out for your special traits and to express yourself more freely and spontaneously. From the last week of August through to the end of September, a power period for partnerships arises.
