January 19th - February 17th
Planetary activity in 2019 focuses on your spirituality and the part you play in your community and wider society. The energies this year are all about deepening your faith and opening your consciousness, starting with a Solar Eclipse in your spiritual zone in early January – another matching Solar Eclipse in the last week of 2019 will show you how far you will have traveled on this issue this year.Throughout the northern hemisphere’s spring you will be questioning society and questioning your own values. Your intentions are pure, and you want to learn and to grow, but don’t be surprised if others find you troublesome at this time – in mid-February, around a volatile Mars-Uranus conjunction, it will be very difficult for you to get your message across and you may spark anger in some. Once Uranus shifts into your family and past zone in early March, you may also start to question your roots and to research your past more thoroughly than you have done so far. This ...Show More
Planetary activity in 2019 focuses on your spirituality and the part you play in your community and wider society. The energies this year are all about deepening your faith and opening your consciousness, starting with a Solar Eclipse in your spiritual zone in early January – another matching Solar Eclipse in the last week of 2019 will show you how far you will have traveled on this issue this year.Throughout the northern hemisphere’s spring you will be questioning society and questioning your own values. Your intentions are pure, and you want to learn and to grow, but don’t be surprised if others find you troublesome at this time – in mid-February, around a volatile Mars-Uranus conjunction, it will be very difficult for you to get your message across and you may spark anger in some. Once Uranus shifts into your family and past zone in early March, you may also start to question your roots and to research your past more thoroughly than you have done so far. This could be an unsettling experience, but hang on in there, you have so much to gain! Uranus transiting your family zone may also manifest in some shocks and surprises for the home this year – perhaps new arrivals or a change of residence.It’s in early December that you’ll truly find your spiritual calling, when bountiful Jupiter shifts into your spiritual zone. A beautiful Jupiter-Uranus trine in mid-December also links to your family, so don’t be surprised if you find that your higher purpose involves working with families in some way. Reach out into your local community and work with those who need you the most.You may come across as selfish in love this year. That’s not your intention, but your thoughts are so caught up with the bigger questions in life that you’re not necessarily on the ball with your sweetheart. In late January, a Venus-Jupiter conjunction in your community zone highlights the love you give to wider society and your friendship links in the wider world. For a while, these are your sole focus. Venus in your own sign in March highlights this rather distant approach, and when argumentative Mars shifts into your passion zone at the end of March, it could become a source of conflict.Watch out for tensions between your family and your in-laws too, especially in July when a difficult Mars-Uranus square encourages frustration and anger. July is a passionate month, with Mars bringing great energy to your love zone, but Mercury is also retrograde at this time, so you’ll need to be extra careful in how you communicate with your lover.The tensions and misunderstandings of the first half of the year do start to fade away following a New Moon in your love zone in early August. You’ll find a way to manage your time so that your sweetheart doesn’t feel cut out by your community work, and so that you can enjoy the magic you have created together. Don’t give up on your partner or yourself – it’s just a matter of finding a better balance.Your focus on community projects or philanthropic causes is also reflected in your working life this year. In January, June and September, tricky squares between Jupiter and Neptune highlight how your good intentions could be mis-used by others. Be very careful in your relationships with fellow volunteers or not-for-profit colleagues at these times. You should also take care in March, when Mercury is retrograde in your money zone – this is not a great time to make major financial decisions. Get expert advice – and listen to it!Mid-May is a more promising time, with a Full Moon in your career zone indicating recognition or progress at work. Finding meaning in your career is especially important to you just now and you may want to spend the summer months thinking about a career switch into a field you find more significant. Certainly, a Solar Eclipse in your everyday work zone in early July hints at a change of path, and quite a sudden one at that – this could come as a shock at the time, but you’ll be able to look back and see it as the beneficial influence it is.Further career progress is likely in the fall. A New Moon in your career zone in late October pushes you ever forwards and when ambitious Mars arrives in this zone in late November, you should have both the energy and the desire to make a real difference to the world. Good for you, Aquarius!Show less
