January 2019 Horoscopes

Happy 2019 to you! The two eclipses during January symbolise the darkness before the dawn in some respects. Wherever you're feeling in the dark about a situation, or under pressure about how to move forward at that time, the message is hang in there because just like the eclipse the light returns with time. Eclipses indicate long-term change, and the planets are certainly in transformation mode, especially up to mid-month. New structures and forms are emerging that better accommodate current needs and plans, but that means old and outmoded ways have to be let go of...


Aries
21st March – 20th April
Focused, feisty Mars is your ruling planet, and it’s moving into your sign on the 1st. This is fabulous symbolism to start the new year, suggesting you are more than ready for 2019 and all it might bring. It’s not all plain sailing this month (which is just how your Mars energy prefers it), especially midmonth and around supermoon lunar eclipse time on 21st when its easy to take your eyes off the ball, but there’s a lovely new moon eclipse on the 6th that speaks of new long-term plans and ambition taking shape in weeks and months to come. Perhaps a new or renewed career path.

Taurus
21st April – 21st May
An eclipse on the 6th is about the shape of long-term commitments to come. Future paths for 2019 are formed from looking in new ways at current situations. In other words, there’s a broadening of your horizons and opening of your mind taking place, and it means the steps you’re taking in weeks and months to come are something to appreciate and feel proud of yourself for taking, because change is often uncomfortable at first. Events around the supermoon eclipse on 21st speak of this and of how to turn your old discomfort zone into something you can relax into.

Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
There’s an important new moon eclipse on 6th. It’s theme for you over weeks or months to come is new territory and unknown territory, with all the sense of adventure and uncertainty that brings, and about the practicalities of making changes that build up into something designed to last. So for example, you’re focused on making clear plans and commitments, and doing baby steps or manageable chunks. It might not feel easy midmonth, but that doesn’t mean you’re not on the right path. The supermoon eclipse on 21st brings important information or communication, but also misunderstandings or misgivings if you judge books by their cover. All in all, it’s a powerful start to 2019.

Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
2019 starts strong and it looks like that’s the way it means to go on, as there are two eclipses this month, indicating significant events with long-term impact. The first eclipse on the 6th is in your relationship chart. It’s all about new or renewed commitments, as well as a kind of clear the clutter vibe, where you’re ready to let go of who or what is in the way of your future. There’s also a theme of new or improved relationship with finances and income, and this is echoed in the super-powerful supermoon on 21st. In other words, self-worth and financial worth are inextricably linked for 2019.  

Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
There are two eclipses this month. Eclipses set the theme for weeks or months to come, and the first one on January 6th is about how you’re on a mission to get things sorted. Seldom have you felt so inspired by the idea of a new year meaning a new you. It’s sensible to be ambitious with 2019 resolutions, because for the foreseeable you’re in the mood to commit and stick with them. The supermoon eclipse on 21st is in your own sign, which indicates love and partnership have your attention. The new you that is emerging has different priorities in a relationship, so its about redefining what is now important.

Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
2019 begins with one of the most creative months of the year for you. The new moon eclipse on 6th is a doorway into new creative projects or ambition, so whatever you like to pour your heart and soul into is stepping up to new levels now or in weeks and months to come. This area of your chart is about romance too, so there’s lots happening in matters of the heart; including new or renewed commitment. It’s the practical and productive path you’re interested in this month, and events around the supermoon eclipse on 21st are likely to reflect all this in a big way, as the time feels right to move certain things forward.

Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
The powerful new moon eclipse on the 6th is in your chart of home and family. Eclipses have long-term impact, so events around that time tend to carry significance. This one speaks of preparation and plans for new foundations, new structure, and new beginnings. January is not without its challenges, especially mid-month, but that helps you reassess priorities and find a new sense of balance too, especially in relationships which are benefitting from much more open communication and discussion. Full moon eclipse on 21st is about balancing more play and less work; and being willing to risk stepping into new territory, just for the adventure.

Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
2019 opens with two eclipses in January, on the 6th and 21st, and eclipses often coincide with events that stay important for weeks or months to come. Events revolving around communication or information might be a theme of the first one, bringing great new opportunities to move things step by step to success via dialogue and discussion. Also, you’re in a super-practical mood, which is the only way to deal with what’s unclear or nebulous (especially mid-month), as it keeps things straightforward for yourself. The second eclipse on the 21st is a supermoon, on the theme of more recognition for work and career; so it’s about putting yourself out there and allowing your work to be seen.

Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
Events seem designed to bring out both your ultra-practical side and your wild adventurous spirit. A powerful eclipse on the 6th grounds you in reality, totally into the mood to sort things (finances in particular), and make a plan for later. As the month goes on you keep the discipline to stick to New Year resolutions, but you also have this untameable nature that insists on doing things that you probably need to make resolutions about afterwards. Rather than keep that side of you in check, keep things in perspective instead, especially midmonth and around the supermoon eclipse time on 21st, as the urge is strong to over-reach, or to leap too far on faith alone.

Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
It’s your time of year; a whole new year opening with up to 5 planets in your sign, which is an indication of busy, intense focus that suits your style and approach. There’s a rare new moon eclipse in your sign on the 6th that sets the tone for many months to come, meaning you’re not willing to settle for less than a productive, well-planned, industrious, and rewarding 2019, beginning right now. There’s plenty happening this month that can’t be planned for and plenty not under your direct control, which can be frustrating at times, yet sometimes can work better than you could have imagined. The supermoon eclipse on 21st might be one of those times.

Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Early January is a lesson in going with the flow; meaning this is not the time to push against your own desire to clear the clutter, define some boundaries and limits, and enjoy the sense of new commitments and responsibilities. This is the message of the new moon eclipse on 6th, and it comes at a time when it’s easy to forget that you don’t have to micro manage or control every detail in order to achieve and succeed. Then there’s a fabulous supermoon eclipse in your relationship chart on the 21st that moves stuck situations and turns stalemates into soulmates. Maybe not overnight, but quicker than things have been moving recently.

Pisces
19th February – 20th March
There’s an element of holding your nerve required for January, as it’s all about good timing. Easy to forget this under the circumstances as there’s so much happening. A new moon eclipse on the 6th is bringing new or renewed friendship. It also speaks of finding the right crowd on your wavelength; those you resonate with and share the same values. Eclipses are long-term influences, so this runs from January to weeks or months ahead. There’s also a supermoon eclipse on 21st, emphasising your super-organised approach. You might not know all the details of your vision for 2019 yet, but you know the value of patience and preparation.
