Pisces

February 18 – March 19

In order to discuss 2019, we have to go back to the last six weeks of 2018, when Mars, which is the planet of ego and action, was positioned in Pieces. It takes Mars about two years to go around the zodiac, and during this period it moves through the 12 signs. So what you’ll have learned while it was in Pieces during late 2018 will contribute to what you’re thinking about, what you’re weighing up, and the ideas you’re considering in early 2019.

There are two important turning points for you during this period. And ironically, they’re on the same day. First there’s the New Moon in your sign, the Pieces New Moon, on March 6. This always constitutes a sort of a personal new year, a time when you pause and think about what works, and what doesn’t. But, also, in this case, you’ll be considering what you learnt while Mars was positioned in your sign during the final weeks of 2018. While you’ll have been aware of some, and may have had made plans, other situations will have been more complex, so you needed time to think things through or it simply won’t be the moment to take action.

But also on the same day, Uranus which is itself the planet of innovation and breakthroughs, moves into a new position. Because Uranus is a new approach to both existing situations and into whatever arises, and its position accenting your own point of view, you’ll need time to think. To ask questions. To reflect on your existing options and those that will arise during 2019, and the coming years. Basically, this is about taking a very different approach to elements of your life that either were stable, or seemed unchanging – that is, you had very few options. Perhaps that was once the case.

With powerful events shifting the balance in the world around you and, therefore, in your own life, it may well be that suddenly you’ll be able to explore what you want to explore, to consider options that weren’t previously available.

You might feel under pressure to take action. However, if your mind is unclear or you are short of facts, it’s worth bearing in mind that with Uranus accenting your point of view, and what you’re able to learn until 2025, there’s no rush to say, decide or commit to anything.

Or alternatively, you may recognise that it’s time to consider some changes or to do certain things differently. While in some cases you may know exactly what you want to do right away, looking at the planetary setup for 2019, which will be as rich and exciting as it is unsettled, you’ll find that you need to weigh things up, and often.

What’s more, it may not be until September that things are clear. Between having and a powerful presence of the heavenly bodies, the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all in the part of your chart that has to do with close alliances – and with the Full Moon in your sign, the Pieces Full Moon on the 14th, also accenting such matters, there’s every suggestion that discussions will be illuminating and unexpectedly profitable. Explore everything. The more you learn, the better equipped you’ll be to make wise decisions.

True, as you begin 2019, September might seem a long way away. But as you begin reviewing what you’ve been doing, reflecting on your existing priorities, and think about what you’re doing now,

With powerful events shifting the balance in the world around you and, therefore, in your own life, it may well be that suddenly you’ll to consider options that weren’t previously available

you’ll find that the actual circumstances you’re dealing with are shifting, and because of that, you’ll be relieved there’s no hurry to make changes or long range decisions.

Jupiter is the planet of growth and good fortune, and only just moved to accent the structure of your life in late 2018, and it remains there until December 2019. This, too, suggests that ideas will come from out of the blue, as well as wonderful opportunities, or events that are in your best interests. And here too, this isn’t about doing a single thing a single way but, rather, is about considering your options, rethinking what you want - and thinking about them again.

Take that approach as you begin every month of 2019, and each decision you make will create a basis for the next decision. And so you’ll find that you’re achieving far more than you would have believed possible when the year began.
