JANUARY 2019 PREDICTIONS

January jump-starts with ‘half the zodiac’, including Saturn — the taskmaster — in Capricorn, the ‘sign of karma and responsibility’, with a solar eclipse in Capricorn on Jan 5th, energizing ‘an interesting start to the year’.  “We will be shown in no uncertain terms how we are reaping what we have sown: substandard health, mental instability, growing poverty for certain sections of society, brewing tensions, increased violence and aggression, continued environmental destruction, and additional species bordering on extinction.  Capricorn is the sign of the stern but fair parent, the wise authority figure, who says it’s time to sort ourselves out.  It’s time to get real and behave more like adults in the world.  Wherever in life you are childish, immature, unrealistic or unorganized is likely to be revealed now.”

“Your Sun-sign will determine the area of life you need to simplify or get serious about.  ARIES:  get more serious about your direction or purpose in life.  TAURUS:  strengthen a practical and realistic philosophy to implement your dreams.  GEMINI:  face your inner demons and fears to help you move forward.  CANCER:  focus on commitments in your relationships.  LEO:  health and work require greater commitment and simplification.  VIRGO:  seriously follow your heart & creativity.  LIBRA:  focus on creating a happier home & solid foundation.  SCORPIO:  commit to communicating and get your message out there.  SAGITTARIUS:  take a practical approach to the material side of life, especially on organizing & simplifying your finances.  CAPRICORN:  get serious about everything, including yourself; take charge of restructuring your whole life.  AQUARIUS:  greater commitment directed to your spiritual or inner world, explore the mysteries of life.  PISCES:  commit to your future, your goals, and implement them; be more serious about your friendships, providing more of a parental energy in them.”

“There is much we need to release — to make headway with our respective missions, and the lunar eclipse on Jan 21st, will help us do just that.  Uranus squares this eclipse, assisting us in realizing new potentials.  Open to being more experimental, less set in our ways, during this new eclipse; new approaches will work well, in implementing new ideas and possibilities.  There is a tremendous amount of cardinal energy at work this month, which is likely to result in plenty of dynamic action.”  It is an auspicious “time to set things in motion.  Set goals and work toward them — such things having a far greater chance of success than usual.  Set your intention for your year ahead and do one small thing to honor that intent.”

“Venus is aligned with Jupiter for much of the month, there should be no shortage of positive enthusiasm.  Whatever our individual Capricorn lessons, it could soon feel much less of a chore and more of a source of joy and achievement.”  Releasing and simplifying can top our list of resolutions, and add: Connect to joy!
