Joseph Polansky - Your Personal Horoscope 2019

Very important financial things are happening now. You had a foretaste of this last year as Uranus flirted with your money house. Now, on March 7, he is moving in there for the long haul. So, in finance, expect the unexpected. By the time Uranus is finished with you, in seven years’ time, you will be in completely different financial conditions than you are now – radically different. They will also be much better. However, in order for your financial prayers to be answered, things need to be shaken up. Obstructions need to be blasted away. There is a need to learn to handle the insecurities that change brings.

Uranus is the planet of innovation and experimentation. So you are throwing out all the old financial rule books – all the old tried and true methods – and discovering what works for you personally. Experiments sometimes fail but these are temporary setbacks and you learn from them. Often, however, experiments succeed, and when they do earnings will skyrocket beyond belief. Money and earning opportunities can come in unexpected ways, out of the blue, and often when things seem darkest.

Uranus is a planet of extremes. The financial highs will be super-high, but the lows can be super-low too. Make sure you set aside money from the good times to cover the bad periods.

Uranus favours the new, and thus you’re attracted to start-up companies and even start-up industries. He rules the high-tech world – computers, software, the online world. He rules companies that are involved with new inventions and innovations. These are all alluring and you have a good feeling for them. You can even be involved in radically new technologies. In fact, whatever you’re actually doing, your technological expertise is important. By all means invest in technology – get the latest software, apps and computers.

Uranus also rules science and astrology. So astrology can be important in earnings – perhaps through consultations or investment. Your friends seems rich and seem supportive and provide financial opportunity too.

Venus, your financial planet, is a fast-moving planet (not as fast as the Moon or Mercury, but faster than all the others). In a given year she will move through all the signs and houses of your chart. (This year, indeed, she will make one-and-a-third turns around your chart – she moves faster than usual.) Thus earnings and earnings opportunities can come in many different ways, depending on where Venus is and the aspects she is receiving. These short-term trends are best dealt with in the monthly reports. The good news is that Venus will move forward all year – a financial plus, showing forward progress.

The career is unusually active this year. Your 10th house is not only the strongest in the Horoscope, but will be the scene of three eclipses in the year ahead. So there is much change happening there. With Saturn and Pluto in your 10th house all year, you’re working hard and methodically. There is a beautiful, single-minded concentration on your goals, which is 90 per cent of success. This is not the chart of ‘overnight’ success, but of success that happens methodically and through steady, persistent work. It shows success earned through sheer merit and for no other reason. You simply must be the best at what you do. It might seem slow and boring, but the eclipses will come and blast away any obstructions and, suddenly, you’ll be where you want to be.

With Saturn in your career house bosses can be more exacting and demanding, and difficult to please. The cosmic way to handle this is to give them even more than they ask for. Pick up the burdens and go the extra mile. By the end of the year, as Jupiter moves into your career house, you can expect promotions (official or unofficial) and recognition. It shows success.

This is not an especially strong love and social year. Some years are like that. Money and career seem far more important this year. The empty 7th house indicates the lack of focus. Usually this tends to the status quo: you’re more or less satisfied with things as they are and have no compelling need to make changes.

There’s nothing in your chart against love and romance, but nothing especially favouring them either. Those who are married will tend to stay married. Singles will tend to stay single.

In your chart Venus does double duty. She is both your financial planet and your love planet. Thus love and money tend to go together with you. When finances are going well, love tends to go well; when love goes well, finances tend to go well. And vice versa. Problems in love will often show problems in finance.

The good news here is that your love planet is moving unusually fast this year. Usually Venus will move through all 12 houses in a year. This year she will move through your 12 houses and then repeat the cycle for four more houses. (In effect she is moving (approximately) a third faster than usual.) This indicates social confidence – it shows someone who covers a lot of social territory. For singles it indicates a kind of fickleness in love. The love needs and desires change constantly. Someone who attracted you one month might not attract you the next.

Thus for singles I see a lot of dating in 2019, but not long-term, serious relationships. Enjoy the love life for what it is. It seems about gaining experiences.

Because Venus is moving so fast there will be a lot of short-term love trends, depending on where she is in the Heavens and the aspects that she receives. These are best dealt with in the monthly reports.

The other important development is that with Uranus moving out of your sign, you are going to be more stable in love. There is less rebellion, less need for change. This will bode well for love later on, in the future. You’re becoming a more ‘settled’ kind of person.

Friendship – a different kind of social activity – seems more active. Friendships are not only good in their own right; they will help the bottom line. Your taste in friends seems more stable than your taste in romantic partners. You like them rich and dependable. Being involved with friends and group activities definitely helps the finances. It will be good also to get involved with professional or trade organizations. They are not only helpful financially but seem to boost the career too (especially after March 7). New and significant friends will come into the picture after December 3, as Jupiter starts to make beautiful aspects to Uranus (your planet of friends).

As was mentioned earlier, parents and parent figures are having their relationships severely tested. There will be improvement at the end of year though, after December 3. There is serious love this year for siblings or sibling figures in your life – marriage would not be a surprise. Children and children figures are very focused on love, and this is 90 per cent of the secret of success. They have love opportunities as they pursue their career path or with people involved in their career. Serious love is likely from December 3 onwards (and next year too). Grandchildren (if you have them) are having a stable kind of love year – but they seem very happy.

The spiritual life, as we’ve mentioned, is very active and strong these days. Neptune has been in your spiritual 12th house for many years now and will be there for many more. Most of you are now on a spiritual path – and if it hasn’t happened yet (unlikely!) it will happen. Those of you on that path are making very good progress.

Neptune is the planet of transcendence. He gives an ability to ‘rise above’ all earthly conditions and circumstances and see things from a higher, broader perspective. This might not seem like much, but it’s very powerful. It is like looking at things from a satellite orbiting the Earth rather than from a car. We see much more. We see the broad scope of things. We measure and judge things differently. Things that seem ‘bad’ in the short term (usually something unpleasant) are seen as good when the whole, wider picture is understood.
