Words by Krista Meridian
ARIES
Possessing intense ambition, those born under the sign of Aries carry the energy of the trailblazer. These fiery people fully embrace dominating uncharted territory, self-proclaiming themselves as undefeated leaders. In the year ahead, Aries will experience situations that are related to their power in the public arena. In January and December, there will be two major eclipses that begin and end the year, ensuing the astral area that rules profession, achievement and social standing for Aries. Life should feel more grounded and stable, with little room for unbalanced individuals or unstable gigs.
TAURUS
From their treasured fashion labels to well-placed antiques, Taurus loves to acquire possessions of great value. The material world makes them feel secure and in turn, they become a presence of security for others. Their laugh is bountiful and their touch feels reassuring, but encourage them to change an aspect of their life and they will personify the angry resistance of the bull. Uranus officially enters the sign of Taurus in 2019, and this planet’s unpredictable quality can shake up the steadiest of people. Expect surprises in career, unexpected lifestyle changes and a new interest in technology.
GEMINI
Imagine the essence of Gemini as fraternal twins with vastly different personalities and interests, yet they both share a childlike curiosity to relate to the world. The innate duality of this sign allows Gemini to connect with both views of a discussion, as they can also see contradictions within themselves. Geminis can be spotted by their quirkiness, a comic-book backpack, a silly license plate or simply writing notes with scented magic markers. Geminis will attract their own partners in 2019, as Jupiter’s year-long stay in the area of interpersonal relationships will attract friends and lovers who are of an opposite nature.
CANCER
The adage, “home is where the heart is” couldn’t have more validity for the moon-ruled sign, Cancer. Emotionally attached to their dwelling, Cancer has an instinctual ability to build a home that is safe, protective, warm and filled with subtle hints of beauty. Once the people of this water sign feel that they have an anchor-like connection to their foundation, they will feel secure enough to create structures and spaces that make Earth feel like a better home for everyone. However, find them in one of their crabbier moods, and they will be snug in a cashmere throw, withdrawing into their shell. This need to withdraw will appear repeatedly in their relationships throughout 2019. For Cancer, the keyword of the new year is structure.
LEO
To create, or not to create? That is the question. Action for the fire sign, Leo, must be inspired by love, artistic expression or recognition as the leader, entertainer or hero. They can be quietly dignified or the vibrant life of the party. With Jupiter travelling through Leo’s domain of romance, drama and talent, anything that can be visualized can be achieved. In 2019, Leos may also experience health issues related to work, so being cautious of burning out is a must. Leos who feel constrained in their current career will take leaps of faith that will grant them more freedom.
VIRGO
Symbolized as the virgin, Virgo religiously believes in the purification of any system, including mind, body and soul. Their practical intuition and appreciation for detail make their creative efforts pristine. Despite appearing detached, they fully express themselves when being of service to others, which they do on their own terms. Virgos can expect changes in their daily routine in 2019. The new year will provide Virgo with experiences that solidify their foundation and they have the dexterity to do it carefully, and in good time.
LIBRA
Balance is a transcendental concept, shown in the balance of the scales to the universal laws of evolution. True to their nature, Libra finds balance right in the middle, especially in relationships. People of this airy sign always seek a partner to balance them out. Libras without a partner likely compensate with gourmet desserts, tranquil music and muted color schemes. The new year may be the year Libra meets a significant other, likely through work or a joint project. Mars, the astral body of drive and ambition, is in Libra’s zone of marriage and official relationships for a significant amount of time in 2019.
SCORPIO
Scorpios are well acquainted with the philosophy, “change is the only constant in life.” From experiencing highly-transformative experiences that are out of their control to inciting metamorphosis consciously, they know that it takes descending into their depths to ascend to their heights. The new year could bring Scorpio a lover who will bypass their intensity and dismantle their guard. Saturn transiting through Scorpio’s third house of communications indicates that being careful with words throughout 2019 is imperative, as they may have a tendency to linger and not be forgotten over time.
SAGITTARIUS
Graced with a gift of vison, Sagittarius has a force of foresight that enables them to see possibilities where others see none. They are likely well-read in different religions, spiritual practices and occult theories. Having the freedom to travel when the mood strikes is a priority to them, so their relationships and career must grant them the opportunity to roam. Beyond their Bohemian haircuts and exotic-print blazers, lies a sparkling wisdom that keeps them grounded throughout life’s journeys. The adventure of the upcoming year could bring an extra gleam of optimism and benevolence.
CAPRICORN
They may appear distant, aloof and cold, but Capricorns value their time above all else. If the matter at hand is frivolous, they are uninterested. Capricorns are highly resourceful, using the tools available to them to reach a goal or solve a problem. Their inclination is to be well-informed, as this shows through their “in the know” conversation, down to their appreciation of timeless clothing brands. In 2019, Uranus will be making a shift from Capricorn’s base of family, roots and foundation into the zone of creativity, passion and romance.
AQUARIUS
Like a strong cold wind, the air of Aquarius can inspire either rigidity or knock things over. The fixed air sign can embody one of the two polarities: one who values tradition and structure or one who challenges the norm with innovative pursuits. When they are not involved in humanitarian work, they are sporting their favorite gray hoodie and laughing at the flubs in current events. The new year will bring Aquarius much more content to laugh at in the news cycle, but Aquarius’ personal life in the upcoming year will involve undergoing a deep spiritual quest within. Saturn, the air sign’s co-ruler, rests in the domain of spirituality, dreams and intuition.
PISCES
With a slender physique, dreamy eyes and a stride that can be mistaken for floating, Pisces is the embodiment of divinity. What’s often withheld about Pisces is that they have an inborn desire to transcend from the physical world. They prefer to dwell in emotions, dreams and fantasies. Pisceans will have to keep their eyes wide open in 2019. With Saturn in Pisces’ house of friendships, social circles and group aspirations, there are lucrative opportunities for collaborating with others to reach a common goal.
