ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19): Start the new year with a clean slate. You are in a highly creative period with no time to spare, and you cannot afford the luxury of changing your mind. So, let go of old dreams that haven’t manifested and head toward new horizons. While letting go can trigger grief for what might have been, trust in the unfolding story of your life. A solar eclipse on January 5 could activate a mindset shift in your professional life. If you have wanted to make a career change, this influence could help start the necessary chain of events, and it’s only the beginning. You have the charisma to attract attention and recognition. However, be careful to avoid situations that could compromise your reputation, as you can’t get away with much when all eyes are on you. Mars in your sign all month motivates you, which will prove helpful if exercise is on your list of resolutions. This influence also triggers your competitive drive and helps you excel in any focused endeavor, especially on January 25. With so much focus on your career, reputation, and physical health, your personal life may be on the backburner. Single Aries, embark on an adventure! You could meet potential romantic connections through travel after January 7. If you are in a relationship, be gentle with your partner. Mars in your sign and a relatively busy month fuel your inner fire and could fuel your temper. Be intentional about self-care and channel your passion into the achievement of your dreams.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20): The holiday season has drawn a close, but can you still feel a hint of the magic alive inside of you as a new year begins? Maybe you have faith that things are going to work out. Yes, it’s time to get back to work after the lull, and you feel supercharged to meet your resolutions, but magic begs for stillness. It works when you relax and flow with life. So, have faith in the big dream and your potential to realize it, especially on January 5. You are pure creative potential and will overcome any challenges with this belief intact. The lunar eclipse on January 20 reminds you of how far you have come in the past two years. You are building upon prior successes. Awaken your sense of adventure early in the month, as it’s a great time to travel for business or pleasure. Travel expands your worldview and perspective.

If you are in a relationship, be intentional about your time to connect during this busy month. Talk through misunderstandings, letting go of preconceived ideas or fixed opinions. Meet in the middle. For those of you who are single, focus on self-nurturing. With so many shifting energies, you need to recharge. Indulge yourself now and then, despite what resolutions you may have to the contrary.
GEMINI (MAY 20 – JUNE 20): As an air sign, your intellect is one of your superpowers. However, some circumstances this month need more of your intuition. Slow your mind and tune in to your heart for guidance. Realize this is an empathic period when you might perceive others’ emotions, thoughts, or attitudes as your own. In fact, with conflictual energy cycling through the collective, you may be hyper-sensitive as your perceptive abilities expand. On January 5 a solar eclipse stirs up past financial matters concerning long-term savings and investments. If you have been considering refinancing or taking out a loan, this would be a favorable time to explore options, but before signing documents, work through any underlying fears.

Though the weather may be cold where you live, keep home fires burning. Mars in passionate Aries could help, but it could also spice up your temper.

So, enjoy some you time because things could quickly change as Venus enters your partnership sector on January 7.
CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22): When you surrender to the will of the divine, you fall back into the arms of faith, a process which is ultimately freeing, but only after your ego lets go of its need for control. Perhaps you have set 2019 goals. If so, good! They will help you stay focused. Keep in mind, though, the divine could have a different plan. Surrender your need for a fixed outcome, and trust in the process. You are accepting new responsibilities and commitments in your life as you live with more purpose. You have the courage to start something new, like a relationship or business partnership, and the solar eclipse on January 5 could help speed the timeline, helping prepare you to enter a new chapter. You start the year with ambition and drive, which could help you become more of a leader in your field or in the community. This competitive edge could help you set yourself or your business apart. So, promote yourself. For extra support, you could hire an agent or representative later in the month, after January 13. As a natural caregiver, you tend to step in when those you love need help. This month, though, give from a place of free will rather than obligation. In your partnership, strive for balance by honoring your needs as sacred and setting boundaries accordingly. If you are single, the eclipses on January 5 and 20 help you release any foundational relationship fears, like intimacy, to help prepare you for big love.
LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22): Congratulations! You made it through 2018 like a star. With a series of eclipses on the Leo/Aquarius axis line, you underwent considerable growth and excelled in the process. As 2019 starts, you might feel tempted to compile a list of resolutions. While high expectations can lead to high achievement, there is something to be said for stillness. Your creative spirit needs an open heart and still mind from time to time. The solar eclipse on January 5 could activate new professional opportunities. Perhaps you could decide to accept new responsibilities at work or pursue a promotion. Go for it! Over the next several months, your day-to-day routine could change as a result of the internal shifts happing right now.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22): Sing, dance, make art, or anything to feed your creative impulses this month. Even if you have no musical or artistic talent, indulge the part of you with childlike wonder, the part that may get left behind in the frenzy of day-to-day life. Your most innocent and precious inner child needs your love and attention. Otherwise, it could act up through unhealthy behaviors or rouse a case of writer’s block. If you are a parent, you are lucky! You can engage in play with your children to entertain your inner child. Around January 1, adult children may reach out in need. Extend generosity, but be careful not to overextend yourself. If you have wanted to start a family, the solar eclipse on January 5 brings illumination to issues of fertility and timing. It could also bring exciting news if you have been trying for some time. Professionally, think about the big picture rather than worrying about details.

If you have had challenges with your children or with trying to conceive, you could find the key that unlocks the secret to different outcomes. A simple solution may not work, however, because eclipses manifest changes over time. There is no magic pill for the challenges you are experiencing right now. You must go deep within and access inner guidance, especially January 11. At the end of the month, romance is a definite highlight! Take a romantic adventure at the end of the month. Because Mars, the planet of individuation, is in your opposite sign, you may feel a slight tug of war with your special someone at the beginning of the month, especially if your schedules are hectic. If conflicts arise, you do not always have to be the one to compromise. Mars helps to activate your inner will. So, embrace your feisty side.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21): Attune your ears and start to listen in new ways. This month, you can develop and enhance your already acute perceptive sensibilities.

As an intuitive Scorpio, your inner wisdom can help you navigate life’s challenges, but you need to trust yourself.

As you raise confidence in your deservedness, you can attract experiences of love into your life.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21): Welcome to the first month of what could be the best year of your life! Jupiter transits through your sign like a bright light shining on all you do. However, you have to lay some groundwork as a foundation for forthcoming opportunities. So, try this exercise: Feel your deepest longings at your heart center.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19): After a sizeable earthquake, aftershocks can occur as the earth’s crust adjusts to the big shift. Likewise, significant shake-ups in your life — even exciting ones — may lead to emotional tremors as you ground yourself in a new normal. Last year, you likely had a few of these, with both Saturn and Pluto moving through your sign. This month, you could revisit some of those events. In light of changing times, you could have a heightened sense of vigilance right now. However, leave fear and doubt behind in 2018 by releasing judgment.

On January 5, harness the energy of the solar eclipse to super-charge your intentions. Meditate, journal, relax your mind, and still your body. Be gentle with yourself, too. Your empathic sensibilities are heightened, and you may be sensing others’ emotions in addition to your own. This is a highly creative time, and you might not feel as grounded. Honor this time as sacred, and prioritize your inner urges. Uranus, the planet associated with your sign, stations direct on January 6.

However, now you will see any challenges from a wiser perspective. By the end of the month, you will be ready to celebrate a new chapter in life.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20): January’s transits push you to the limit of your comfort zone. Step beyond it and extend a hand to a stranger, run for office, join a speakers bureau, or register for a matchmaking service.
