YOUR 2019 CAREER HOROSCOPES

ARIES

This is an excellent year to show just what you’re made of as you could gain strength and stability in your career. In the first two months of 2019, you’ll get the chance to correct any mistakes that linger from

2018, making this a fortunate opportunity to begin the year with the benefit of hindsight. Get set for big changes, especially from July to September. The new projects and areas that you have been developing during the past eight-year cycle are ready to blossom, so take steps to strengthen your position at work, while also being ready to step into new fields.

CANCER

Your status is changing and this will feel exciting, but may also be destabilising. And yet the world will offer so many opportunities, you’ll feel hard-pressed to turn them down. Your success will lie in discerning which opportunities will lead to fulfilment; and which lead to variety but are without substance or meaning, especially in the period February to March. There will be several flashpoints, especially in January, July and December, that will ask you to make informed choices. Consult experts and those with more experience than you, to help with decisions. And ultimately, consult your intuition: it’s your inner radar.

LIBRA

If you love your work, you’ll thrive in 2019. And, if you don’t, you will be ready to look for work that has more meaning for you. As a result, you’ll prosper, and you may even be surprised by the degree of wealth and self-esteem you build. Developments in April and May may well alter your approach to your work schedule, and the Libran New Moon on September 29 could reset your work and daily routine entirely. Motivational Mars in your career zone in May and June, and then in your own sign from early October to mid-November, will help you thrive.

CAPRICORN

The partial solar eclipse on January

6 will kick-start a buoyant year.

For some Capricorns, this year will be memorable for bringing changes into your personal life; but for many, this will be the year when your career is transformed. So, if you’re looking for career progress, this is the year to promote your skills in your preferred area and to take steps in new directions, too. The Libran Supermoon on March 21 will shine a light on the activities that provide a sense of purpose and achievement, so keep an eye out for opportunities to promote increased happiness at work.

TAURUS

There are going to be new opportunities for you this year, as Uranus, the celestial game-changer, enters your sign and brings your need for change out. Anything in your life that no longer resonates will be up for an overhaul in 2019. Just be careful that, when making career changes, you consider their long-term implications. Be ready to collaborate with someone who has the same goals as you financially. However, it’s vital you check that their principles and career goals align with yours, or you may find that your activities work-wise will not resonate on a deeper level later in the year.

LEO

Considerable developments career-wise will be driven by practicalities in your daily schedule so that it suits you better, not only financially, but also health-wise. January and December’s events will offer opportunities to streamline your work and boost finances. You may be ready to broaden your horizons work-wise; or will be drawn to something new. Potential for a collaboration or business opportunity could be fruitful, but you must decide if some collaborations will simply be distracting. Events mid-year, especially, may ask you to consider how your well-being is impacted by your work and vice-versa; and to make changes accordingly.

SCORPIO

The year starts on an optimistic note, with a busy time motivating you to boost your career. This could be a lucrative year, and part of your decisions surrounding career development will inevitably revolve around income. A new horizon is likely to appeal, and you may feel more inclined to step in a new area after March. However, to ensure you avoid making mistakes and don’t overestimate your circumstances, it’s important that you create a solid foundation first of all, such as regular income that will tide you over while you make changes; or a secure home or office.

AQUARIUS

Bountiful Jupiter suggests you’re ready to flap your wings in a new direction; and also to step to a new level at work. This is especially the case for January-born Aquarians. February Aquarians will enjoy boosting your career through networking with groups and organisations. Freedomloving Aquarians will feel a strong draw to take a break from the daily grind and to enjoy an adventure. If you do, ensure you have a solid budget in place to avoid losses and debt. For some, though, the draw towards freedom may simply manifest as insisting on more ‘me’ time in your daily schedule.

GEMINI

Be prepared for new opportunities and to re-evaluate how you see your work moving forward. Are you willing to ‘go alone’; or are you invested in several collaborations? You’re ready for a two-pronged development: both to broaden your horizons - and to co-operate and even compromise within the work arena with other professionals, as this could maximise your options. Early March to mid-April; early July to mid-August and early November to early December are the times to be super-careful with career decisions. Think about your long-term goals to ensure you gain longevity through important opportunities.

VIRGO

You’ll appreciate the opportunity to put down solid roots and to gain ground in many of your work projects, especially those that took you into new terrain in

2018. You may be inclined increasingly to work with a large organisation or network to see a project thrive. Don’t be afraid to be inventive and creative. A new investment or the chance to put in place a realistic budget will boost your coffers. The period from the end of August until mid-September is a particular flashpoint when you could make a dream come true, especially if your planning is impeccable this year.

SAGITTARIUS

Jupiter in Sagittarius until early December will encourage you to take risks with your career, so make sure your plans are based on facts not supposition. Avoid going into debt and focus on gaining a strong foundation in your chosen profession.

In February, March, July and August you are likely to feel ambitious and industrious. A new interest will be appealing, and as long as it provides a strong foothold, this could be beneficial in your career development. Early December, you will likely crave security, so avoid allowing yourself to go off-track through speculation earlier in the year.

PISCES

You’ll appreciate working with groups and organisations this year. If you already work with large groups, you may also be attracted to humanitarian work, and to establishing yourself as a key figure within a movement or ideology. However, you may feel idealistic about some ventures, so ensure that, while you reach for the stars, you keep your feet on the ground. Jupiter in your career zone will predispose you to broadening your horizons. Your career could blossom, but you must equally beware of overwork and avoid burn-out, as you may overestimate the extent of your energy levels this year.
