With your ruling planet, Mars, entering your own sign on New Year’s Eve, you could hardly wish for a more positive and energetic start to 2019. You’re starting the year in an adventurous mood, keen to see what new horizons you can find, and this pioneering spirit will remain in place throughout the year. Take every opportunity to say yes to possibilities, even where this scares you. Be open to new learning too, whether that’s a return to school, a work-based training course or a new qualification you undertake just for personal satisfaction.Early spring in the Northern Hemisphere brings some volatile emotions to the fore, particularly as Mars conjuncts Uranus in your sign on February 13th. A lack of self-control or an inability to process your own anger could land you in trouble around that time. When Chiron moves into Aries in late February great healing becomes possible, but the process itself could well be painful. Surround yourself with those you trust and don’t be afraid to let your emotions show.During the summer and fall, love and career issues are dominant, but the Aries Full Moon in mid-October is also a chance to review how far you’ve come in terms of personal and spiritual growth. When Jupiter conjuncts Venus in your adventure zone at the end of November, you’ll understand the journey you’ve been on this year, and strange coincidences may well start to make more sense.April would be a marvelous month for a romantic getaway – the New Moon in early April is in your own sign, boosting your confidence and helping you to show your emotions to someone you love. Later that month, Venus arrives in Aries, so the time is right for either meeting someone new or for consolidating and strengthening an existing relationship. The emphasis here is on sweet and quite traditional romance, so take your time – slow the pace down and savor each moment with your sweetheart.The temperature hots up considerably in July when first Mars and then Venus move into your passion zone – any new romance formed at this time is certainly going to be memorable! In an existing relationship, this is your chance to rekindle the spark, to flirt and to remember why and how you got together in the first place. Recreate your honeymoon period and prioritize one another above all else.Come fall in the northern hemisphere, Venus transits into your love and marriage zone, followed a few weeks later by Mars. This makes September and October excellent months for a wedding or for making a serious commitment to a lover. Watch out for ego battles in October, however. Mars rules passion but he also rules anger and there is a fine line between the two. If you do find yourself bickering with your sweetheart constantly, get back to basics and re-commit to your lives together. Everyone has disagreements – it’s how you handle them which makes the difference between a good or a poor relationship.Greater success and a higher income have always been a part of your ambitions, but early this year something else creeps in too: a need for your work to be creative, beautiful, meaningful or preferably all three. You’ll get the first sense of this in late January when task-master Saturn sextiles spiritual Neptune and asks you to be sure that your work is making a difference somehow. Gentle, caring Venus shifting into your career zone in early February reinforces the same message.Once Uranus, the planet of surprises, settles into your money zone in early March, your finances become more volatile – but this energy is a good match for your pioneering spirit, and you’ll quite enjoy the challenge. Find new income streams from among your under-used skills or take a leap of faith and change career path altogether, even if that involves a pay cut. During July, financial risks could be painful - Mars squares up to Uranus, pitting your risk zone against your money zone, and not in a good way – but you can weather this storm.Eventually, any financial sacrifices you have had to make will start to pay off and the pressure will ease. Bountiful Jupiter, planet of good fortune and generosity, makes a very welcome shift into your career zone early in December, so you can expect to see rewards coming your way. A stunning Jupiter-Uranus trine also brings shocks – good ones – your way in mid-December when it activates both your career zone and your money zone. Just in time for some festive spending!Show less
