January 2019 Astrology Predictions

Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr

“The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr

It’s a new year, new start.  Make your resolutions well.  However, don’t set yourself up for a fall, only to say to yourself “maybe next year….”. 

Every day, every hour is a new start.  Every moment is a choice to embody those things which you know you can and should be.  Every moment is a microcosm.  Every segment of eternity is still eternity, is it not? 

Don’t worry if you stumble and fall, it’s meant to be that way.  Invariably we all have something “dumb, stupid or embarrassing” in our life.  If we were all “perfect” it would mask the subtlest of errors, the most imperceptible delusions would remain. 

It’s good that we mess up, because then the egoic tower of Babel can’t get too high.  Imperfection is “perfect”. 

Pull yourself together and get back up on that horse.  No, you didn’t have a “perfect year” the only one keeping score is probably just you anyway.  Just be you right now.  Be your best, do your best, where you are….now. 

Time is an illusion anyway.  The past, the future; both highly subjective creations of the human mind to try to make sense of things, should have little bearing on your state of mind and being in the present moment. 

So, take that unsolicited piece of advice with you into 2019. 

Solar Eclipse January 6, 2019

Anyway, January starting us off very quickly gives us some significant astrological pushes, there is a partial solar eclipse on Jan 5/6.  Partial eclipses are not usually that significant, however this unique line up of the Sun, Earth, and Moon in 3D coincides with the planet Uranus also turning direct in the sky. 

Moreover, the Sun, Earth, and Moon line up in the same sign that Saturn and Pluto are occupying, sidereal Sagittarius.  So wherever Sagittarius/Scorpio (sidereal/tropical) falls in your chart, there are some new developments almost certain to occur. 

Planetary Chaos and Change

2019 precedes 2020, maybe one of the most pivotal years of the 21st Century, in my opinion.  Some things are lining up for a fall economically, politically and socially; then something new will take their place. 

When we don’t get our lessons, when our mental, emotional and spiritual density (if you can imagine such a thing) prevents us from further growth, then the Universe takes to crack open that dense shell of insufferable obstinancy with its cosmic crowbar. 

So, get ready for anything.  Will 2019 be better than 2018?  I’m thinking no.

The new year may begin with maybe more than it’s share of challenges, but still offer opportunities for tenderness and sensitivity.  (Sun conjunct Saturn, Moon conjunct Venus)

March 2024: A World without Equinoxes or Solstices

In March we come to the Vernal Equinox, when for about a month night and day are of about equal length, hence the word equinox.  There is one day when they are exactly equal and that is the Vernal Equinox, March 20. It is thereafter that one starts to gain dominance, for the Northern Hemisphere it is the day, while in the Southern it is night.  For the Southern their part of the globe actually moves away from the sun, hence the decreased light.
