What changes are most likely to happen in our lives in 2019?

Will we finally find that elusive love relationship?

Will we begin a new career or job that gives us a chance to really make a difference?

If we’ve had financial problems, will we finally fix our finances?

Take a look at your horoscope and see what might lie ahead for you in 2019!

Capricorn (December 21—January 20)

Working hard and fulfilling your ambition is the main focus for 2019.

If you can establish firm boundaries and leave time for your social life, you might also find a marriage partner. Just make sure not to spend too much time at the office and not enough on your relationship. Doing so can lead to drama, breakups, and makeups, which can be both upsetting and distracting to your life goals.

It’s possible you will be attracted to a person who is even more dedicated to climbing the ladder in their career than you are. But if you choose a partner wisely this year, you can build a relationship that will last for the long-term and might even end up in marriage. A big promotion is also likely to occur for you.

Aquarius (January 19—February 18)

This is your year to make a huge discovery. You may take one of your brilliant ideas and turn it into a new business. Or, you may take your idea and use it to get ahead in the company you now work for.

This is also a great year for hanging out with friends, socializing, and enjoying parties. At one of these events, you’ll meet someone with whom you will feel an easy, genuine bond, which could eventually lead to a committed relationship. But first, you will need to develop a friendship with them.

You are charismatic and a natural conversationalist. So, make sure that the most important quality you share with a love interest is your ability to communicate together—otherwise, you’ll be bored and ultimately, unsatisfied with your new love. Also, be honest with the other person about your need to have freedom outside of your relationship to enjoy time with friends and other activities. If you establish your need for independence, you’ll avoid potential conflict in your relationship.

Pisces (February 18—March 20)

Have you been thinking of volunteering for a long time? This is your year to finally find an organization or a group to give your time to.

This is also your year to find the soul mate connection you have yearned for, if you commit yourself to socializing in public instead of just dreaming about it. You will meet someone who is giving and spiritually oriented like you—and who loves animals. But make sure to take the blinders off and see a potential love interest for who they are, and not whom you wish they would be. By doing this you will avoid feeling like a victim who has been deceived.

You are likely to meet a love interest in a setting where you are of service or volunteering, as opposed to a social event like a party. Your new relationship will allow the other person to give to you instead of you just catering to their needs. If you choose wisely, this could be the year where a long-term, committed relationship comes into your life and stays.

Aries (March 20—April 19)

You love to argue with people in your personal and work life. This may have resulted in upsets that interfered with you advancing in your career. This year is the time to be less impulsive and combative. Be more diplomatic and take time out to listen to other people before giving them a response.

As far as relationship opportunities are concerned, this could be your year to have a big change in your love status. If you meet someone you have great chemistry with, try to establish your relationship at a slower pace. Get to know them and let them get to know you. If you heed that advice, an exciting relationship may develop for you this year.

As far as your health is concerned, avoid being a daredevil because you could find yourself in an accident.

Taurus (April 19—May 20)

You love the finer things in life, such as great food, wine, clothes, and cars. Avoid overindulging as it could lead to weight gain or excessive spending.

This is also the year that features romantic relationships that come through your work or business. You may find a love connection with a supplier or even a customer. It’s also possible that you may have some unique professional relationships this year. Look for a special opportunity where someone serves as a mentor to you—or, it’s possible that you may serve as a mentor to someone else. You may find a job opportunity where the owner wants to teach you his or her business so that you can take it over one day. That relationship could also turn romantic.

Gemini (May 20—June 20)

One of your best features is that you are such a curious person. That curiosity will result in you finding a new career opportunity you’d never considered before 2019. Check it out because it could be intellectually exciting!

This will be one of your most popular years for socializing and having lots of options to find Mr. or Ms. Right. In fact, expect to be dating at least two or three people at the same time as you sort out who you feel the greatest love connection with. One of the best ways to find romance will be through travel. By traveling you will either meet a love interest or discover whether you and your current partner are truly compatible. One of the big issues you’ll face will be whether or not you can settle down and be faithful to one partner (or whether they can be faithful to you).

Cancer (June 20—July 22)

You have wanted to be a parent for a long time. This year may bring you an opportunity to “mother” or mentor someone who needs your nurturance. For some, this may be the year to have a child. For others, it can be a time to care for someone in a romantic relationship. The catch is that it will also come with responsibilities, such as having to do more to keep the relationship alive than you are accustomed.

As the year progresses, the pressures of additional responsibilities will test your loyalty and commitment to this relationship. Do not allow yourself to be too self-sacrificing. Make sure to set boundaries in any new relationship. If you are in a more well-established relationship, you will have to make sure to set limits to avoid your partner becoming too dependent on you (or you on them).

At work, you may have an opportunity to volunteer for a project that could lead to a promotion and a big raise. Take it, if it is offered.

Leo (July 22—August 22)

This is your year to be a leader at work. You may have an opportunity to lead a team or receive a promotion where others will depend on your guidance. This job opportunity could also result in a large bonus at the end of the year.

In your romantic life, your great personality will make you extremely popular to the opposite sex (or those of your own sex). The biggest danger you will face is becoming too self-involved. Make sure not to ignore your lover’s needs by making the relationship “all about you.” If you allow your generous, loving nature to shine through, this could be the year to create the soul mate relationship you’ve longed for.

One of the ways that you can feel a great connection to your partner is by taking a romantic vacation together where you make vows to one another or renew the ones you made years ago. Even if it is not your normal nature, make sure to spend time communicating your feelings and working through any difficult issues. If you do, you’ll become closer than ever.

Virgo (Aug 22—September 22)

Work, work, work! You spend too much of your time working and this may have caused your life to feel unbalanced. This year is an opportunity for you to reorganize your work and personal life so that you can enjoy your relationships and have more fun. If you commit to this, you will likely meet someone with whom you can have the kind of love relationship you’ve been looking for.

But avoid being Mr. or Ms. “Picky.” Your perfectionist nature has gotten in the way of your finding a “dream lover” in the past. If you are less critical of yourself and practice more self-acceptance, you’ll find yourself falling more deeply in love with the other person. This relationship may also bring with it certain restrictions, such as a lover who can’t hold down a job or who has a disability that requires your understanding and support. That won’t be a problem for you, because you could make a big return on one of your investments this year.

Libra (Sep 23—October 24)

This is a year of self-improvement for you. You tend to be such a people-pleaser that you subordinate your needs to give others what you think they want. You will finally take a personal development class or see a counselor who will help you with this problem. You’ll continue to be popular, and have lots of romantic opportunities, but make sure to take your time and choose wisely before committing to one particular person.

In the past, you’ve been attracted to people who were beautiful or handsome at the expense of valuing more lasting qualities required in a long-term relationship. You are ready to have more depth in your relationships. By mid-year you’ll find a relationship that offers you both the physical attraction and emotional satisfaction you have been yearning for. You’ll know this person when you meet them because of your ability to talk with them as if you have known them for years. This relationship will be your opportunity to have a deep and meaningful connection that could lead to marriage (or at least a more intense relationship).

Scorpio (Oct 23—November 22)

Avoid the tendency to seek revenge on someone who has done something unkind to you. It will take too much of your energy and rob you of using your talents in areas that will improve your life, such as at work. If you use your resourcefulness, you could find an even better job this year where you can make much more money. Start looking!

You will yearn for a deeper connection that you can only achieve with one person. So, resist being a hermit and selectively choose social events where you can meet a person of character and depth, like you. Make sure to stay away from parties where drinking is the main event. Instead, find social opportunities where people use their minds, such as a book lecture, or where they use their hearts, like a volunteer activity. The person you finally meet is likely to be deeply involved in building their career, so make sure to be patient and understanding in allowing your relationship to blossom.

Sagittarius (November 21—December 21)

This is a fantastic year for you to travel, especially abroad where you can have a great adventure! In your travels, you will make some exciting new friendships this year. But since you enjoy your freedom so much, expect relationships to come and go throughout most of this year. You won’t mind, since you enjoy coming and going as you please and not having to answer to anyone.

You are usually attracted to relationships that start out with excitement and “hot” chemistry. Unfortunately, they fizzle out quickly. You may meet someone in your travels who is highly educated and possibly from a foreign country. This person will fascinate you and have the kind of qualities that will make you think of finally settling down, if you are ready.

This may also be the year where you are promoted or find a job that allows you to advance by taking on greater responsibility and leading others to complete an important goal. Take initiative and don’t be afraid to take risks when it comes to trying something new in your career.

Whatever your sign, this is your year to go out in the world and find what brings you joy and happiness—whether that’s finding a new relationship, improving the relationship you’re already in, finding the dream job you’ve long wished for, or improving your finances and enjoying greater prosperity.

We should never forget that we are each masters of our own destiny.

As the English philosopher, Sir Francis Bacon, wrote in 1632, “Wiser astrologers believe that there is no fatal necessity in the stars, but that they rather incline than compel.” Yet, in ways that may be hard to understand, the stars surely bring us all opportunities to achieve our goals and make our relationship dreams come true.

It is truly up to you!
