Your Personal Horoscope 2019. Joseph Polansky

Retrograde activity among the planets is still intense this month, but less so than in July. On the 2nd, Mercury starts moving forward, and on the 11th Jupiter moves forward. But on the 12th Uranus starts to go backward. Again, patience, patience, patience. With this many planets retrograde, the cosmos is urging you to be more perfect in all that you do. Little mistakes can delay things even further. Go slow, steady and perfectly. This is, ultimately, the fastest way to your goals.
You have been in one of your yearly personal pleasure peaks since July 21, and this continues until August 23. It is not irresponsible to have fun now. It will actually increase earnings and lead to love. It will also have a positive impact on your health and well-being. The cosmos is often counter-intuitive.
The month ahead looks to be prosperous. It is a good kind of prosperity. A happy prosperity. Venus, your financial planet, will be in your 5th house until the 21st. This shows luck in speculations (I especially like the 8th and 9th for this). The 8th and 9th are days of very strong financial increase. It shows money that is earned in happy, joyful ways and that you’re enjoying the wealth you have, spending on fun and leisure and joyful activities. Those of you in the creative arts will find your work more marketable. Children and children figures seem supportive (and you could be spending more on them too). One of the problems here can be overspending. You earn easily and you spend easily. You’re an impulse spender. However, this will change after the 21st as Venus moves into Virgo, your 6th house of health and work. You will have more financial caution. You will seek value for money. You will be less speculative and down to earth. You will earn from work and productive service. Job seekers should have good success from the 23rd onwards as there are many job opportunities happening – even those of you already employed will have opportunities for overtime or second jobs.
Love is happy this month too. The 8th and 9th not only bring financial increase, but happy love opportunities and meetings. Love doesn’t seem too serious these days. Love affairs rather than serious, committed relationships are indicated. You just want to have fun and you’re probably attracting these kinds of people too. Love opportunities happen in the usual sorts of places this month (until the 21st) – at parties, resorts, the theatre and places of entertainment. After the 21st the workplace becomes a venue for love. But love can also happen as you pursue your health goals or with people involved in your health. One of the problems with Venus in Virgo is hyper-perfectionism and hyper-criticism. Do your best to avoid this – even in your thoughts.

On July 3 the Western social sector of your chart started to become powerful. This means that the planetary power has been moving away from you and towards others. This month the planets are approaching their maximum Western (social) positions. Thus, since July 3, there has been less personal independence. There has been a need to develop the social graces and to get things done by consensus rather than by direct action. It is a time to let others have their way (so long as it isn’t destructive), and to allow your good to come to you through others. It is a time to take a vacation from yourself, and put others first. This, as we have said before, is not especially saintly; it’s just the cycle you’re in. Changing conditions that irk you is more complicated now. Best to make a note of them and make the changes later on, when you’re back in a more independent cycle. While this period brings a lessening of independence, it is wonderful for your love and social life. (Independence is a wonderful quality, but not such a good thing for love.) On the 23rd, as the Sun enters Libra, your 7th house of love and romance, you enter a yearly love and social peak. So romance is in the air, and you’re in the mood for it – open to it.
Venus’s solstice, from the 15th to the 18th, is the announcement of the coming social shift. She pauses in the Heavens (in her latitudinal motion) and then changes direction. And so it is with you. There is a social pause and then a change of direction.
In the meantime, with your 6th house of health and work very strong, it is a good time to do all those boring, detailed jobs that you normally hate to do. You’re more in the mood for this type of work and they should go easier and faster. It is good that you’re very focused on health this month as the care you take now will stand you in good stead after the 23rd, when health becomes an issue.
After the 23rd, up to 60 per cent of the planets will be in stressful alignment with you at times. Your normal superabundant energy is not up to its usual standard. If you feel tired, take a nap. Recharge. No vehicle can run with no fuel in the tank. Work more calmly and shift activities. Don’t fret over trivia. Focus on what’s really important. Until the 14th enhance the health by massaging the reflex point to the small intestine. After the 14th, enhance the health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report. Pay more attention to the kidneys and hips. Massage the hips regularly. A herbal kidney cleanse might also be a good idea. The good news is that good social health (which you seem to have) will reflect positively on your energetic health.
Venus moves into your 7th house of love on the 14th, where she is powerful in her own sign and house. So your finances should be good. Social grace and likeability are always important in your financial life, but this period even more so than normal. Joint ventures and partnerships could also happen.

This month your 7th house of love becomes even stronger, with Mars’s move into there on the 4th. He joins the Sun and Venus, meaning that two out of the three most important planets in your chart – the Sun and the ruler of your Horoscope – will be in your 7th house. This signals a lot of social power. Your yearly love and social peak is even stronger. Your personal popularity is at its height. You’re there for others and they feel this and appreciate it. You’re a good friend to have these days. You’re also personally more romantic. Singles will have many love opportunities.
Health is still very much an issue this month – especially until the 23rd. Keep in mind our discussion of this last month. The problem this month is that your 6th house of health is empty after the 4th, and so you might not be paying enough attention here – and you should. Enhance the health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report. After the 3rd pay more attention to the colon, bladder and sexual organs. Most of you will tend to be overactive sexually – best to keep it in moderation. Don’t deprive yourself, but don’t overdo it either. A herbal colon cleanse might be a good idea, and you will respond well to detox regimes. Health and energy will improve after the 23rd, when the planetary stress is greatly reduced.
Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope, has his solstice from the 4th to the 11th. He pauses in the Heavens in his latitudinal motion, and then changes direction. It is interesting that this happens as he is changing signs and houses – leaving your 6th house and entering your 7th. So there is a personal shift of gears for you. You become more social.
But there is another shift that Mars is announcing. He is crossing from the lower (night side) of your chart to the upper (day) side. Thus, the upper half of the chart is now totally dominant: 80 per cent (and sometimes 90 per cent) of the planets will be in the upper half of the chart. Now the career becomes all consuming. Last month (on the 18th) your career planet, Saturn, started to move forward after many months of retrograde motion. Things are starting to move forward in your career and you’re ready to take advantage. All systems are go. You are successful now, but you haven’t even touched your
