Your Personal Horoscope 2019. Joseph Polansky
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.
Much of what we have discussed in recent years still applies this year. The transit of a long-term planet such as Neptune is not really an ‘event’ but a process. It is a string of many events, all leading to one thing. So, the dream life is very active – and you should pay attention to it as the dreams will be significant and revelatory. Your ESP (extrasensory perception) faculties are getting stronger and stronger. Your intuition is much more reliable this year than in previous years, as Neptune is receiving better aspects from the other planets. (You will see even greater improvement after December 3.) Without this intuitive element, sacred literature doesn’t yield much insight. This must be read as much by the heart as by the mind. Often the intellect can’t understand certain passages, but intuition reveals the true intent. There will be many supernatural kinds of experiences this year. (Some call these synchronistic experiences – meaningful coincidences.)
One of the spiritual challenges this year comes from the power in your 10th house of career. This will tend to pull you in a worldly direction. There is a need to succeed in the world and in your outer goals. And, often, this will conflict with spiritual values. In the world it’s ‘dog eat dog’: get to the top any way that you can. So this internal struggle will need to be resolved. There are no rules for this. Some people marry the two urges by pursuing a worldly career and doing charity and pro bono work on the side. Some people actually choose a spiritual-type career – either ministry or working for a non-profit organization or a company that caters to these things. Some people pursue their worldly career but work to do it in a spiritual way. Each person finds their own solution.
The other spiritual challenge you face has to do with Uranus’s move into your money house. This, as we’ve said, brings sudden changes to the financial life and the ups and downs can be very extreme. There is a need to handle financial instability in a spiritually correct way. Eventually you will learn this; Uranus is a genius who knows how to do his job.
Meditating on the affluence of God will be a great help. In the midst of all the changes and challenges, the Divine flow of affluence never ceases and never wavers. Concentrating on that – developing faith – will get you through with flying colours. Faith is a muscle that needs building up, just like every other muscle.

A wild and challenging month is ahead, with never a dull moment. Nevertheless, the month seems successful. You’re just working harder. You begin your year in the midst of a yearly career peak. Your 10th house of career is very powerful, with half the planets either in it or moving through. Not only that, a solar eclipse on the 6th (in America it’s on the 5th) also occurs in your 10th house. This is the first of three eclipses that will happen in your career house this year. You can’t be bothered with home and family issues right now. You’ve got to focus on the career – the demands here are powerful.
The solar eclipse brings career changes, which can take many forms. In some cases people actually change their career paths; usually though, the eclipse indicates changes in your company or industry. Sometimes the government changes the laws or the rules and regulations. The rules of the game change. Often this will bring personal dramas in the lives of parents, parent figures, bosses and authority figures. The change is not usually very comfortable while it’s happening, but with hindsight it can be seen as beneficial. A parent or parent figure in your life has to make important financial changes. Every solar eclipse affects the children and children figures in your life and this one is no different. It will be a good idea to reduce your schedule until the 20th, and especially this period. The children should avoid risky kinds of activities over the eclipse period.
We will also have a lunar eclipse on the 21st, which also affects children and children figures as it occurs in your 5th house. So let them take it easy over this period too. Like the previous eclipse, this one affects the finances of a parent or parent figure. He or she needs a course correction as their financial thinking and strategy have not been realistic, as the events of the eclipse will show. Every lunar eclipse impacts on the home and family. So there can be some crisis at home – perhaps a major repair or a personal drama with a family member. The lunar eclipse will reveal flaws in the home that you didn’t know were there, giving you an opportunity to correct them. The dream life will tend to be hyperactive this period, but shouldn’t be given much weight. The emotional plane of the whole planet is roiled up and disturbed (even animals are more edgy), and your dreams are more like ‘psychic waste products’ stirred up by the eclipse. Get them out of your system and go on with your life. Family members need more of your patience. Emotions are running high.
The other headline this month is health. This needs more attention until the 20th. Make sure you get enough rest. Keep your focus on the essentials and don’t fret the trivialities. From the 5th to the 24th, back and knee massages will be very helpful.

Health is much improved this month, but still needs some attention. Enhance the health through calf and ankle massage until the 10th, and with foot massage afterwards. Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope, has been in your sign since January 1 and will still be there until February 14. Aries tend always to be in a rush, but more so now. Haste can lead to arguments and accidents, so be mindful on the physical plane. Be especially mindful from the 11th to the 14th as Mars travels with Uranus. Friends should also be more mindful.
There are interesting and happy financial developments this month. On the 3rd Venus, your financial and love planet, crosses the Mid-heaven. The Mid-heaven is the highest point in the chart and perhaps the most powerful point in the Horoscope. Thus she is exercising more influence. This spells increased earnings. In addition, your ruling planet Mars moves into your money house on the 14th, indicating great personal focus here. You have the financial favour of bosses, elders, parents and parent figures. Pay rises, official or unofficial, can happen. You spend more on yourself. You adopt an image of prosperity – people see you this way. Your good career and professional reputation enhance your earnings. What I also like here is that the financial planet, Venus, is in Capricorn from the 3rd onwards. This shows sound financial judgement and a prudent approach. Your financial decisions should be good, and it’s a very good time to set up budgets, savings and investment plans (and stick to them). This is a time to build up wealth for the long term.
Venus crossing your Mid-heaven is good for the love life too. It shows that love and social opportunity will come as you pursue your career goals (and, in many cases, with people involved in your career). Love is high on your agenda this month. Just as in finance, you’re more prudent in affairs of the heart. You favour successful and powerful people, people who can help you careerwise – and you’re meeting these kinds of people too. Singles could be tempted by relationships of convenience these days. Love seems very practical. There is a romantic or social opportunity
