Hi everyone and welcome to your 2019 tarot-scope for all sings. In this reading I’m going to examine the most important energies, influences that are going to take place in 2019 for all 12 signs.   Before I get into the readings I would like to say a few words about 2019 generally. Without too much exaggeration, 2018 was (still is for a few days)  very, intense, difficult, challenging, but at the same time liberating and deeply spiritual year for most people. From the first days of January 2018, the massive impact of the Plutonian energies, without delay, started transforming us, mutating us from the inside. Most of us suffered a lot of loss this year, regardless, if it was love, material values, connections, friendships, beliefs, etc. these losses were more of a blessing, than anything, because they cleansed and purified our lives, souls, minds and heart of everything that was holding us back, and towards the end of the year, the Lord of the Deep Sea, Neptune, helped by the Moon pulled up all our traumas and fears from deep within, and manifested them,  forcing us to relive them, but  all this for the sake to achieve closure once and for all. By this time most of us are extremely tired, we feel as if we did the spiritual, psychological, karmic work of 10 lifetimes in one single year, and perhaps, right now, this very second, we have absolutely no clue why all of this happened, but our intuitive nature tells us that there has to be a greater reason, it has to lead somewhere.   2019  is going to be a very important year, ruled by the highly mystical and watery Cancer energies, and the very practical and resourceful Capricorn energies.   Next year, on 5th-6th of January, starting with a Solar eclipse in Capricorn, we have the opportunity to become the person, being, that we were created to be, in other words to discover and assume our true purposes in this life. This marks the time, when all of us one way or another will hear the higher call, to become a better, smarter, more understanding, wiser and compassionate version of ourselves. The North node traversing the sing of Cancer means that, in 2019 people, who dedicated themselves to spiritual, psychological, moral, humanitarian, artistic work, are going to be greatly advantaged. It is not just a massive leap for the individual, but also for humanity. The South node traversing Capricorn is going to make scientists and engineers very bold, very brave, very desperate to prove their wildest theories, and this is going to cause the skyrocketing and incredible advancement in technologies, especially space travel, genetics and molecular biology.   While in 2018 Pluto ensured our mutation, adaptation, transformation, in 2019 Uranus is going to shock us, by triggering certain events, so that people find each other miraculously. Like minded, spirited people can get together and from groups, lovers can unite, soul-mates, twin flames find each other, people in general, will feel more connected both to each other and to the Source. You may think, this is very unlike Uranus, who likes to shock and surprise, the truth is that, this is part of the surprise, because these reunions are going to give people incredible power and courage, and when there is absolutely no fear in the hearts of the masses, revolution and uprising will follow. This may not necessarily mean violence and bloodshed without bounds, let us not forget, that Saturn in Capricorn, (part of the sky where the South node resides at the moment), which represents organizations, authority, institutions and government, are very well prepared for all of this, and the resolution is probably going to take the shape of negotiations and compromises. If you’d like to read more about 2019 general forecast, check out the article dedicated to this very topic. Now, let’s see the year 2019 for each of the 12 signs:

Aries:

Challenges and Transformation:

The Moon card indicates that the greatest challenges, which you have to overcome lie within you! These last couple of year were extremely challenging from a psychological and emotional point of view. You have been through, almost, an endless succession of cycles, where you lose yourself and your faith in people, and then you reinvent yourself and come back stronger than ever, only for something or someone to break your optimistic outlook on life once more. The truth is, things don’t always turn out the way you want them to be, even when you try your very best, perfection can not be reached, there isn’t perfect justice, morality, equity in this world and perfection, the way you see it, can simply not exist in society. Your challenge in 2019 is to master your own feelings, your dissatisfaction, your outbursts, your fiery spirits, accept the fact that perfection is not always something positive or constructive, and in fact, it’s the mistakes, imperfections, silly coincidences, that make life beautiful, fun and colorful. Do not forget that perfection, prevents evolution, and even though, you are the ultimate masters of your own fate, you do not possess the ability to see the ultimate truth, hence your choices may not always be beneficial for yourself or those around you. The 7 of swords reversed, suggests, that when you are down, angry, vengeful, do not get your way, you often adapt a self sabotaging attitude, punishing everyone around you, including your self, family and everyone who tries to help you, and this always causes you even greater pain and disappointment. You are challenged to do a massive, large scale inner work, and reevaluate, rethink everything, especially how you perceive and recall the memories of the past, because your traumas and things that upset you, and the wrong that was done to you, may not be as severe or as bad intended as you like to think. Let go of fears, let go of expectations, let go of judgment (both of the Self and others) and try to adapt a gentle, forgiving and a little bit more ignorant attitude, where you can just shut your eyes and smile on when you see something that “grinds your gears” This will not only liberate you, but will also give you a sense of freedom, of well being that you’ve only experienced in your childhood.

The opportunity:

Aries natives are going to have a major opportunity in 2019 to do something which was not accessible to them until now. For some of you the obstacles were material, lack of time, for others emotional, lack of willpower and patience. Starting from the very first month of 2019, your ruler Mars is going to enter his home sing of Aries, which will give you guys a massive boost and psychological and energetic empowerment. The Judgment card suggests, that the Divine is ready to help you and send you all the material, emotional, social etc help that you need, BUT by no means is this gonna be a lucky event, but rather a time of getting ready, training, working, studying, changing your ways, strengthening your ambitions. If you do the work, then, when the times comes, when the opportunity arises, you are gonna enter a sort of competition suggested by the 5 of wands. This can translate to very many things, so please choose the situation most relevant for you: applying for your dream job, but you have to shine, because you are gonna have to compete with other strong candidates; this could mean a BIG promotion, but you will have to meet certain conditions and of course you won’t be the only one competing; this could be an exam, a test of knowledge and mastery, which if completed successfully is going to give you a much greater financial stability, but also more freedom,; this could be romance, where you find someone you really really like, and can imagine a common future, but that person is very “hard to get” and doesn’t like strong willed people, so you will have to show great self discipline and empathy; or this could be any other competition (like gambling etc) where perseverance, ambition  and faith is needed.   This opportunity is guaranteed, as I said earlier the Divine is ready to step in and help you with everything, BUT it needs your full collaboration, psychological input, because it needs to see just how MUCH you want this.

Resolution:

By the end of the cycle, you are going to be transformed into a totally NEW you. As the strength card suggests, materially you are going to be more stable than ever, your fears, weaknesses, doubts, everything non material, that held you back is gonna be just a faint memory, and you are gonna be a rock for those people who matter to you the most in life. The Star card joining the Strength couldn’t be more positive and joyful, because it indicates that you will be just one small step away from living your dream in 2020. For many of you this could also mean the early stages of a beautiful, romantic relationship. For those of you who are already coupled, this could mean the first steps towards a new house, marriage, or even having another child in 2020.   The Star card also indicates healing of all traumas, and the sense of freedom and joy!

Taurus:

Challenges and Transformation:

The Lovers card doesn’t necessarily indicate, love or romance, but of course that aspect is also included. The year 2018 almost integrally, was a time of great challenges, difficulties and many times sorrow. In the past 2-3 years you may have lived a very dual lifestyle, in the sense that you experienced  hardship and and very traumatic events, but also love, support and help from the outside (loved ones, partner, family members, best friends) at the same time. This dual life, started weighing heavily on your souls, and you simply reached a state of emotional and psychological fatigue, which may have caused you medical problems. The Negative aspect of the Lovers card is when your thoughts and feelings turn against your body and the worries, unhappiness, or other suffocating feelings kick in, (disappointment, jealousy, insecurity etc.) they start transforming you into a zombie like person.   The challenge for 2019 is to close this chapter of life in your mind. That duality is no longer present in your life, or if it is, it’s in perfectly normal standards, (most people have a dual nature, everyone has a dark side) so you have all the power, experience and wisdom that you need to exercise a greater level of self discipline, inner mastery, and continue living as balanced as possible. In other words, the challenge is to be and stay all through 2019 your own best friends, your Nr1 supporter, to unite all aspects of your being, so that they collaborate in perfect harmony. The Queen of Swords reversed, speaks of a different kind of challenge, related to love. It asks you to not to have unrealistic expectations from your partner if you are part of a couple, or if you are single and looking not to reject everyone, who develops a romantic interest in you, or at least  not to reject them for reasons that source from the mind, cold ration, your own logic, which may be flawed. If you are part of a couple, you need to collaborate and synchronize with your partner at a soul level, not just on an intellectual level, because if you can’t connect spiritually, then you must face the sad truth that you are not in love, not real lovers,but rather merely allies. If you are single, then you must shut down you mind’s, your intellects, judgmental nature, and try to observe the world from a balanced perspective, which means the unification of both the mind, heart, intuition and of course what you body says plays an important part as well.   If you manage to go through this transformation, and conquer your own Lilith (one’s darker side in astrological terms) with self love and understanding, instead of suppressing it, then you will become a person who you were created to be (just like your governing planet Venus, an earthly representation of love, beauty of living and an inspiration to everyone in your life).

The opportunity:

The year 2019 will bring you a very different opportunity. The Moon card indicates, that your inner world, the power of your subconscious mind, your emotional body, your intuition, everything that has to do with a person’s deepest and most mysterious aspect, if going to be stronger than it every was in this lifetime. Your intuition, gut feeling, dreams, premonitions are going to be so very active, that they will help you in the most incredible and miraculous ways possible. The 2 of coins suggests balance, perfect management, garbing the most perfect opportunity at the most perfect time, successful leaps of faith, taking big risks, that are gonna lead to win-win situations, knowing instinctively what to do to get out of every tight situation.   The Coins, indicates material stability, so your intuition and your inner power is not merely gonna lead you towards greater stability, but it’s gonna take you out of your comfort zone, into the unexpected, but these are risks only for your conscious mind, your soul knows what it’s doing and why it’s doing it, and it’s gonna put you on a path towards success, or realization, or “somewhere” (in the most positive sense possible) where you’ll find something that you have always dreamed of.   What that certain something is, can not be known precisely, but what can be known, is that it’s a state of being that you’ve desired to live, experience, and it well from the depth of your soul.   Trust your feelings, trust your intuition, your dreams, all of this is going to guide you and lead you towards the fulfillment of something very important.

Resolution:

This is something truly beautiful, something unique, which rarely happens in life. Do not be afraid of the death card, because it doesn’t mean the death of someone, or loss, it means, that the day will come when you are going to be confronted with a major fear of yours, or a trauma will return from the past, giving you the chance to to banish it forever. The Death Tarot Card is associated with the number 13, which in numerology signifies resurrection. We are not talking about rebirth here, we are talking about the resurrection of a state of life that you lived when you were a child or adolescent, indicated by the 6 of cups.   Something surprising, unexpected is going to happen in your life, which will enable you to transform your life into a state, when you were the happiest.   It is extremely difficult for me to put this into words, so please try to understand this with a non linear way of thinking. I will make another attempt to try to phrase this, think about the times when your life was at it’s best, trouble free, when you were the happiest, most optimistic, excited to embrace the future, every day was a new chance for fun and adventure, filled with laughter and lightheartedness….. those times won’t be just nostalgic memories, BUT they are going to be resurrected, re experienced, and made permanent, in other words, that will be your new life.

Gemini:

Challenge and Transformation:

The reading is opened by the High Priestess, which, I may add, if one of the most appropriate cards to describe the true power of a Gemini. The High priestess represents a huge inner power, but not in form of brute strength, energy, or the sharpness of intellect, but rather wisdom and knowledge. The past 2 years Gemini natives have been through a lot of challenges, obstacles, and lived the dark aspect of the High Priestess, which is experiencing all their fears. All the things they didn’t like came into their lives,  one after another, and it was almost like Fate herself tested them from every possible perspective, every small partition of their being. They were forced to turn all their fears into virtues by finding true wisdom in every negative aspect of life, in order to survive the personal Hell. For many Gemini natives, their very lives and livelihoods were put at major risk, and they had to use all their ingenuity, diplomacy, intellect, and mental strength to survive and prevent all sort of disasters.   While, all of this sounds like someone’s personal Hell, all these negative experiences were, in fact, the biggest blessing they could have asked for, because it forced them to learn and master traits, conquer their conflicting dual nature, and helped them release their true power. The High priestess also indicates that many times during these 2 years, they were so lonely and abandoned by everyone, that they only had their own intuition to rely upon, but this caused them to develop a degree of self respect and self love, they never even dreamed of reaching in this lifetime.   Currently, there might be some Gemini’s out there, who aren’t out of the quicksand just yet, but the experience, wisdom and power they gained is without question and it is a certainty, that they will successfully liberate themselves from all bonds that are holding them back   Once, this “exam”, test of faith, judgment of their true characters, orchestrated by the Divine through the hand of fate is over, Gemini natives are gonna possess such mental and psychological strength, that nothing in life will be able to put them down or turn them against their own being ever again. In other words, they will reach the ultimate strength of a Gemini, they are going to be physical representations, avatars of their governing planet Mercury, bestowing the virtue of wisdom and knowledge upon all those fortunate enough to know and be friends with a Gemini. The King of Cups reversed, speaks of the actual challenge that they must overcome in 2019, which is to use their strength wisely. Gemini’s, especially when they are at full strength, they can very easily manipulate other people, they can play with people just like a chess player changes the position of figurines, they know which words to use and how to use those words, to convince others to to their will. While this, in life is inevitable sometimes, it’s not negative if you use this mental skill, to manipulate, and catapult a less wise person to serve their best interest and ensure their ultimate well being, but a Gemini can be very childish and can easily manipulate others for the sake of fun and games and a good laugh. The King of Cups indicates that if a Gemini chooses to use their strength in a negative way, they can severely hurt other people’s feelings and by doing to they will hurt themselves psychologically. Learn to control yourself, use your superior intellect and wisdom for the general good, and even though your airy nature may not make very empathic, you have to learn to respect the sanctity of another person’s feeling and emotions.

The Opportunity:

You have the opportunity in 2019 to be a changing force in the lives of others. The Death card in this instance doesn’t signify that your own life is going to change, or that your are going to suffer losses, but you are going to be the one who holds the scythe of death, and eliminate obstacles, sorrow, suffering, everything that stands in the way of happiness, for yourself and  for those around you.   The reason why you’ve been through so much hardship is, to learn, grow stronger, and with your wisdom and intellect, advise and help those in your life, who, are going through similar challenges, obstacles. The 4 of wands reversed indicates that you can no longer be grounded, it indicates, that you are celebrating your freedom, in 2019 neither moral, legal, material obligations are going to hold you down and shackle you, everything that you do, will source from your pure heart and generosity, and not out of obligation or being coerced in any shape or form. To add to this, the 4 of wands both upright, or in reversed position has a common meaning, which is celebration, pride, being happy, pleased, satisfied and loving who you are and the way your life turned out to be.   For those of you who are single, this can also indicate that you are going to have a LOT of admirers and people who would like to be with you, so if you are looking for love you will have a LOT of choice.

Resolution:

The Sun card indicates the ultimate expression of creativity, work that you love, a type of work which enables you to express who you are, and allow others to see the world and instances of life through the lens of your soul. It also indicates popularity, fame of some sorts, success, coming in form of appreciation and love from a wider public. The Sun is joined by the Strength card upright! This is ironic in a sense, because the combination of these 2 cards, is so beautiful and wonderful, that the only prediction that I can make is, you are going to direct your fate in the way you desire, and all possible path and choices will lead towards creativity and receiving love from others, and from the world in general.   Those Gemini that posses some sort of artistic talent…. 2019 is going to be the beginning of a wonderful journey 🙂

Cancer:

Challenge and Transformation:

The reading if opened by one of the most terrifying cards, The Tower. It doesn’t necessarily speak of material loss, disaster, break-down, but instead, it refers to your principles, to the rigidness of your way of thinking, the emotional, mental, spiritual limitations that are preventing you from living life more freely and more lovingly. The Tower signifies, that many of your principles, that guide you are based on old dogmas, education, principles which may have been forced upon you as a child, in other words CONDITIONING.   Unfortunately you’ve built many things in your life upon conditioned beliefs and perspectives, on foundations which are no longer relevant, and in order for you to undergo a spiritual, emotional and social transformation your tower has to crumble. You are given a choice, either you demolish your tower with your own free will, or the Divine will do it for you.   I know how scary all of this sounds, but behold the 9 of coins upright joins the Tower, it shows you, the reward, all the things that you can accomplish if that tower of old beliefs and outdated principles crumbles to dust! The 9 of coins signifies earthly, both bodily and emotional happiness, a state of well being, one’s personal paradise full of calm, peace and joy of living. When the walls of your tower will start to crack, when the Divine wrath is going to strike it’s roof, hold on tight and don’t despair, think of the happiness and joy that is going to follow!

Opportunity:

For Cancer natives the opportunities are quite individualized for every single person. The combination of the lovers and Queen of coins upward can have several meanings, so please follow the one which you resonate the most with: For single Cancers, this could be finding your soulmante, the love of your life! The beginning of a magical and romantic relationship! Another possible meaning is finding the most ideal business partner, who’s influence is going to catapult your career and allow you to reach very significant material gains! It could also represent a donation, a gift, a present which will make you life much easier! For Cancer natives who are in a relationship, this could mean pregnancy, the arrival of a baby, which is going to delight both you and your partner, and your relationship will be even stronger and better than ever before.

Regardless of which situation fits you the most, 2019 is going to be a very prosperous year, not only materially, but you’re going to experience love expressed in very many forms, all of which is going to delight you and make you very happy.

Resolution:

The Emperor, joined by the Fool reversed, tells a story of a BIG and LONG vacation from the troubles of life. Someone or a situation, or perhaps the opportunity described above, is going to offer you the sense of absolute safety, being protected, grounded, stable, very well looked after, so that in 2019 you are going to put the struggles of life, problems, obstacles, big goals that you are working on, life purpose aside, and just enjoy life. This could even literally mean an unusually beautiful, once in a lifetime vacation, where that which you see and experience is going to stay in your soul for as long as you live.   The Fool reversed also means childish innocence, laughter, joy, care-free lifestyle.

Leo:

Challenge and Transformation:

The reading is opened by the Fool card, which means, that the challenge, which you have to overcome already started in 2018, and it’s probably not something that you can achieve or fully complete in 2019. This is more like a very long and ongoing process, which speaks of the transformation of the self. In this case the Fool card means problems, traumas, disappointments, hurt, heartbreak which occurred in the past, slowly rooted it’s self deeply in your subconscious, and for some of you it may have turned into minor psychological problems like recurring anxiety, depression, the inability to trust another person, low self esteem or low self worth. There is no quick fix to all of this, you can’t just snap your fingers and erase that which is so deeply rooted in you, and it also doesn’t depend purely on your will, you can choose not to feel bad, and not to dislike parts of yourself, but that doesn’t fix the problem forever. However, the Wheel of Fortune reversed, simply means that this process is not yet complete, BUT in 2018 there were major improvements, and 2019 is going to be a huge leap towards recovery and emotional healing. When these 2 cards join forces, it means that you are definitely on the right path, and slowly, but surely you are being cleansed of everything that doesn’t have a place in your soul and mind anymore, so it’s not really a challenge, because you are already doing it, you just have to be patient and kind to yourself, because with each passing day the future looks even brighter, and everything you went through is a major advantage in the present, because it made you smarter, cleverer, more cautious, more intuitive, and you can sniff out a toxic narcissist from miles away.   Leos are generally magnets for extremely toxic, deceitful, bad intended people, but 2019 they will have an extremely difficult job, if they intend to use and abuse you and deceive you, you are slowly but surely becoming your strongest manifestation!

The Opportunity:

The Sun card joined by the Knight of Wands speaks of emotional freedom. In 2019 you might find yourself in a totally different light! The Sun card indicates the birth of new and long lasting sincere friendships, you are going to meet people, who are going to change you life and make it a much happier, nicer and adventurous place. The Knight of Wands also speaks of having fun, and doing things that you’ve always dreamed of, activities that may have some risks attached to them. This could be trying out some extreme sports, visiting exotic places, taking part in competitions and tournaments and winning them. It could also mean that you have the opportunity to transform one of your hobbies into a source of income and have LOTS of fun while doing it.   For those of you who are single, the knight of Wands, tells you that in 2019 you are going to be more flirtatious, more passionate, and you are going to be fantastic lover. While The Knight of wands doesn’t mean a steady relationship based on pure and unconditional love, it does mean unforgettable encounters, passion and romance on full blast, so rest assured that you are going to live some very intense steamy moments and are gonna make a couple of friends with benefit very satisfied and happy.

Resolution:

The Wheel of fortune appears once again in your reading, and this time it’s even upright, which is fantastic news! This card appearing 2 times in a reading signifies that 2019 is a very important year for you guys and lots of important divine orchestrated events are going to take place. Some of those will be liberating closures, while other events are going to be fantastic new beginnings. You are going to be in the right place at the right time on many occasions all throughout 2019.   The 6 of coins, which joins the Wheel of Fortune, is wonderful news, those of you who are dealing with debt, loans, mortgage, any sums of money that you may owe, somehow, possibly with the help of someone dear, or maybe with the help of Divine (lotto, scratchcard, online casino games, other forms of gambling), either integrally or a significant part of your debt is going to be erased.   Those of you don’t necessarily have debts or it is very insignificant, but are going through financial, material hardship, things will turn around, someone is going to help you upgrade your life from a material point of view. This could mean a very well paid job, a BIG donation from someone, or getting into a relationship with a very wealthy partner , who of course is going to spoil you! In very rare cases, when you, the Leo native, is the one who is enjoying wealth and prosperity, it’s you who are going to save the life of another person in need, and by doing so you are going to create very powerful good karma for yourself, which is going to show in every single area of your life!

Virgo:

Challenges and Transformation:

The reading is opened by the Strength joined by the Moon card. This challenge is something mostly spiritual and psychological in nature. Virgos are being challenged to have much more faith in themselves in 2019. This isn’t just some random advice, or general truth, there is history to this. Virgos natives in the past 10 years went through a very slow, but steady professional evolution. They learned new things, they mastered certain crafts and traits, they formed partnerships and alliances with other professionals, they witnessed the rise and fall of businesses, entrepreneurs, artists, projects etc. they had the opportunity to learn from others, to do works, activities, jobs that you never imagined of ever doing, they achieved small and big successes and failures alike. While none of this is unusual, one could easily say that this is just general truth, but while all of this is just everyday life for most of us, for a Virgo native, these experiences are pure alchemical gold. They may not feel it, they may not know it, they may not believe others when they hear the truth, but thanks to their hard work and perseverance of the past 10 years, they are infinitely stronger, than they realize. The saying “they don’t know their own strength” fits this situation like a glove. Virgos blessed by their ruler Mercury, gathered and processed all this information, and with their meticulous, precise, almost artificial intelligence like minds transformed it into pure strength. A gold mine, a fountain of infinite power, endless reserve of inspiration and ideas, ingenious solutions to everything…. just that they don’t realize it …. yet.   The Moon card signifies that the true challenge is to totally shut down their fears, irrational parts of the mind, even their intuition, because the experience and power that they have overpowers everything, they KNOW everything they need in order to achieve what ever their hearts desire, all they need is courage and a little bit of self belief!

Opportunity:

The Devil card, doesn’t mean that they have to play dirty or commit evil acts, instead, it means that Virgo natives learned from past mistakes, and know that compromises have to be made, and colleagues, family members, bosses, business partners, lovers, friends, in other words everyone who is close to them and matters, sometimes have to be manipulated for their best interests.   Mercury the planet of wisdom and communication rules Virgo, who is the representation of earthly and practical wisdom, (as opposed to Gemini), so Virgo natives can be very persuasive if they really have to be. And it is exactly this ability of their which is going to allow them to conceive a master plan, or maybe convince a very influential person or an institution to help them, offer them support and resources, all of which is going to lead to fulfillment and happiness.   The 9 of coins means that Virgo natives are going to do something for a community, this could be as small as their families or as big as a town, or a region, but their action, their work, their plans or project is going to unite a lot of people and create a sort of community spirit, which will be the biggest dream of a Virgo native manifested into reality.

Resolution:

The High Priest joined by the King of Cups can translate to various different things:   In a material sense the High Priest signifies a legal commitment, so this could be marriage, buying a house, getting a mortgage to buy a house, getting a new job at an institution (city council, bank,   government, mayor’s office), getting public recognition for something. Also, from a material point of view it could represent the birth of an institution (firm, association, charity, non-profit organization). From a spiritual perspective, especially that it is joined by the King of Cups, it means faith rewarded, it means happiness and well being achieved through spirituality or spiritual practices. For some Virgo natives, especially males this could mean fatherhood, for female natives this could mean motherhood by adoption. (for animal lovers this could also signify a new pet, but not just any pet, something that you’ve always dreamed of)   This combination could also signify, that someone from your family or circle of friends(very close friend) is going to share a source of major happiness and well being with you, in this case the High priest being a symbol of your bond and alliance.

Libra:

Challenge and Transformation:

The challenge for Libra natives in 2019 is a pretty tough one, because it isn’t anything material, social, it has very little to do with the outer world, it’s a deep psychological one, where they have to travel deep inside their psyche, and dig up those answers, those hidden aspects of their personality, which causes them to dislike, reject even hate solitude and loneliness. I know that hate is a very strong word, but Libra natives governed by Venus are simply created and blessed with all the skills, traits and personality to be natural diplomats, social people, defenders of love, natural born romantics, dreamers, people who act as a bridge for all forts of inter-human connections to be made. It is the sacred duty of every Libra native, to link people together, to enable the birth of friendships, partnerships, relationships etc. So, it comes as no surprise, that they need to be around people, they always need something to do, they always have to focus on another person, other than themselves. 2019 is going to be influenced by very strong Capricorn energies, governed by Saturn, it will restrict everything that Libra natives represent, but only for a short while! This restriction, blockage brought on by Saturn is not a punishment, but an act of justice. This justice is necessary, because Libra natives these past 3-4 years were so occupied with trying to find their place in the world, helping loved ones, especially their partners, parents, best friends etc that they neglected their own inner self in the process. So, before they can continue  fulfilling their natural roles in the lives of other people, first they have to embrace and learn to accept and love solitude and loneliness. True loneliness, is the biggest fear of every Libra native, not because they dislike themselves, or that they don’t like spending time alone, but because not being able to express themselves, share their feelings, bombard the world with their romantic and idealistic visions, and most importantly not getting the understanding and attention they need from others is equal to being imprisoned, tortured by their own minds, immediately putting the blame on their weaknesses and imperfections. Saturn and everything that Capricorn represents, will give birth to such periods in the life of Libra natives on more than one occasion in 2019, but going deep within their souls, and applying all the knowledge and mastery that they gained the past 3 years, will enable them to switch off the excess of emotions, limit their thirst for love and attention, and instead of feeling sorry for themselves, they will embrace the solitude and give themselves all the attention, love and understanding they need by focusing their energies on a hobby or activities which they are very passionate about.   The Hermit card joined by the Knight of Coins, tells us that 2019 is going to transform Libra natives, into their most stable, sturdy, reliable, resilient version, giving them the power, chance, material resources to be the knight in shining armor for those present in their lives, in a total unconditional manner. With their new found stability, strength and mastery of the self, they won’t need anything in return, not even gratitude, or a thank you, because they will have the full support of their own being and all their inner resources, which will greatly exceed anything they could possibly get from an other person.

Opportunity:

The Empress, joined by the Knight of Cups, is possibly a dream come true, The Empress signifies fertility in all aspects of life. This translates to everything they touch, every plan they follow on, every project, idea, lucrative purpose is going to be prosperous and give birth to new sources of abundance, new connections, new possibilities, an expression of one’s inner power manifested on the physical plane. From an astrological point of view, this clearly means the blessing of their governor, Venus, who will act both as a Celestial and Earthly muse and guide, transforming Libra natives into a sort of metaphorical Midas, in other words everything they touch will turn into “gold” (emotional, material, moral, value or virtue). The Knight of Cups signifies that all throughout 2019 Libra natives are going to be in a constant state of flow, so expect lots of surprises, lots of adventures, meeting new and interesting people, possible from other cultures, which always fascinated you, the opportunity to express your artistic talents, the chance to greatly improve your health and lifestyle, and spending a considerable amount of time near water (in nature).   Last but not least, The Empress linked with the Knight of Cups means love in every possible form. (love for another person, love of animals, love of nature, love of an activity, admiration of beauty, love for nature, and of course the realization that despite lots of bad things happening in the world, it still is a beautiful and wonderful place, and you are gonna feel blessed to be here, in this time line).

Resolution:

This is a very unusual combination. The 8 of swords is usually a card with negative meaning, especially if it’s in the upright position, BUT in this case, it means something very positive. The Lovers, don’t necessarily mean partnership or finding love, but it means that you will receive the power to attract into your life, everything that you love! It’s very easy to adapt this to your own situation, just think what it is, that you would really like to attract into your life, this could be a new job, new career, new studies, romantic relationship, material values etc. The 8 of swords acts as a very powerful filer, a spider web, where you are the spider! It’s very easy to attract many things in your life, but that which we attract, doesn’t always suit our needs perfectly, or it doesn’t necessary satisfy us in the long run, that is why this “filter” play such an important role, because you will block out all the things, people, friendships, toxic people, illusions, society’s filth, and only go for the things that match your needs, the things that offer you the satisfaction that you seek, without any hidden catches! Just like, a spider can take down a prey that is many times stronger than the spider it’s self, for the simple fact that they prey is immobilized, it can not act, similarly Libra natives will successfully manage situation which are much larger, tougher or complex than they have the skill or power to manage under normal conditions. Of course, the spider web is very important, because everything that you desire will get stuck in your web, but it’s not yours until you go and claim it. Those natives who are brave and bold and have perfect trust in themselves (this is the exact reason why you are also being challenged to face solitude, to develop self discipline and perfect trust) will go for the biggest things, those who are shy and do not like to take risks will have to settle for smaller, less rewarding things.

Scorpio:

Challenge and Transformation:

2019 is going to be a very active and lucrative year for Scorpio natives. The year starts with a positive astrological context, where their native ruler Pluto, is residing in Capricorn, along with Saturn. This means that career, work, life-purpose, finance wise you will have the opportunity to upgrade your lives, and achieve goals which you have been tirelessly working on for many years. However, success and and evolution comes at a cost, which is, to stay focused on your path, and do all the things that will be needed at the right time. Hasty decisions or delays may greatly disadvantage you and have the risk to put you back to square one. The High Priestess signifies, that you instinctively, intuitively know when and what to do, but the outside world (friends, family, associates etc.) may unwillingly give you bad advice and following them will certainly lead you down the wrong path. There is absolutely no bad intent here, quite the contrary, but you know what they say, something which is good for a person, may not be the same for another. The challenge symbolized by the High Priestess is to fully trust you non-linear way of thinking, your gut feeling, your intuition, because that holds the absolute truth for you. Pluto your ruler, is the keeper of very many secrets, and never forget that Pluto has an eternal companion Charon, the gatekeeper between our world and that beyond the veil, so the only way it can guide you, lead you, is if you embark on his boat and travel together with him.   Please notice that the Chariot card, appears 2 times in your reading, which means that if you unite all the force and wisdom that you possess, and let no one, expect yourself steer those 2 horses, you are going to journey towards the realization of your goals. And this is exactly why the Chariot joins the High Priestess, because only your intuition, your innate wisdom can steer those 2 horses, which represent the unity of your mind and soul.

The Opportunity:

The Judgment card, joined by the 5 of swords reversed can translate to more than one situation, but these can happen simultaneously, they do not exclude each other.   One of it’s meaning is, you have the opportunity to recover a debt, or someone who owes you something, regardless what it is, material or not, it going to finally honor you by repaying that which they owe you. Another meaning is karmic, perhaps you have been disadvantaged in one or more stages of your life, (childhood, adolescence etc), so the Universe it’s self is ready to compensate you, for that which you missed out from. This could mean studies, travels, material goods, emotional support, climbing a step on the social ladder, a boost in career etc. The 5 of swords reversed also speaks of justice, but a different kind. Emotionally you will find the strength and wisdom, to forgive someone who impacted your life very negatively and caused you to suffer from low self esteem for a long time. This could also take the form of an apology or an act of self sacrifice in your benefit, symbolizing their desire to put things right.

Resolution:

Once again the Chariot makes an appearance, joined by the Justice card. 2019 is going to be all about justice and equity, that which is owed to you karmically, morally, socially or legally is going to be fulfilled. The Chariot individually means success, evolution, the completion of your will, advancement towards a brighter and happier future, towards greater material and social stability. But it also means a very important travel. This can be related to work, but it could also mean an unforgettable experience.   The Justice card speaks about legal justice. If you happen to have a trial, court case, are waiting for some documents or decision in your favor from an institution, then it’s going to manifest in your favor. But in rare cases this can also mean inheritance, legal documents that have to be sorted out for the purchase of something big, life changing like a house, business, association, freelance.

Sagittarius:

Challenge and Transformation:

The reading is opened by the Devil card joined by the Lovers. This combination is so complex that it can give birth to several meanings. The Devil card speaks of a self sabotaging attitude, which can lead to very severe consequences in 2019. Jupiter, your ruler is at home, in your part of the sky, so it will expand both the positive and negative aspects of a Sagittarius native. If you have addiction problems like smoking, unhealthy eating, you like alcohol or other substances, gambling, excessive gaming or any other form of escapism, eating disorders, steroids etc. you are being challenged to try your very best to stop or cut down, because the powerful Capricorn energies that dominate 2019 can cause you to suffer severe physical or psychological damage, which could be even fatal.   On a non physical level, the Devil card signifies your superior intellect, your emotional and spiritual maturity, the clarity with which you perceive all aspect of life, which obviously gives you a spiritual advantage. Your compassionate nature, almost compels you to intervene when someone dear to you faces difficulties, and use your life experience and intellect to help and guide them. The challenge here is, to hold yourself back from doing this, you must accept the fact that excessive help, makes another person lazy, and you only delay their psychological and spiritual evolution, thus creating bad karma for yourself, even though what you do is something positive and compassionate. Sometimes in life, it’s much better to just sit back and let fate unfold, the Lovers card in this case signifies, that if you truly love someone, let them live their life the way they want it, even though you may clearly know, that they are making a mistake or are headed down a unsuccessful path, intervening, and correcting their mistakes forcefully, won’t produce any other benefit, than you feeling good about yourself. The Lovers card can be seen as the positive version of the Devil card, so the challenge is to hold yourself back from getting involved too much in the lives and decisions of loved ones, and supporting them passively. This applies especially to those Sagittarius natives who are parents, and risk having a conflictual relationship with their children by suffocating them with too much love and care. This can also be the case when you are in a long term relationship, you may risk separation if you shackle your partner with too much advice and wisdom. The generalize this part a little bit, the challenge for Sagittarius natives is to learn to hold back, and practice a non suffocating form of love and care.

Opportunity:

The opportunity for Sagittarius natives is surely a blessing from their ruler Jupiter, who recently entered it’s home sing, and is going to stay there for most part of 2019. The World Card joined by the 6 of coins speaks of a Divine gift, a present, a reward, which will come to you in the most surprising ways possible.   This could be a win, a manifestation of pure good fortune, a donation, the highest expression of love and appreciation, an event which will be remembered and treasured for the rest of your life.   While, it is impossible to know what shape or form divine intervention will take, the 6 of coins ensures us that it’s not just a feeling, or an emotion it’s something which is material in nature as well, and that something is going to last.   Whatever it is going to be, the happiness that it will bring will change your relationship with the Divine forever, because it will be a supreme expression of the love which the Universe has for you!

Resolution:

The Moon card joined by the 3 of Cups is a very unusual combination. It speaks of a source of happiness, of joy, feeling alive, feeling blessed, emotions of deep gratitude and love, but the event it’s self isn’t something that is going to happen directly in your life. You are going to be part of it, your are going to take place in it, but it will only benefit you indirectly, because you are going to be included in something wonderful which is going to happen in the life of another person, someone very close to you. This can be a family member, a very very close lifelong friend, life partner, child etc.   In other words something amazing, very positive, almost miraculous is going to take place in the life of someone who means the world to you, someone who you love more than life it’s self, and the happiness and joy that you are going to feel are gonna be empathic in nature, as the Moon card signifies. The 3 of cups clearly means that, whatever this event is going to be, it’s gonna be celebrated, and you are certainly one of the main guest at that party. In some cases this could be a wedding, where you are invited to take the highest honorary position, the arrival of a baby, where the celebration is the christening, it could also be a massive ground braking success of your life partner or child, someone very dear to you who suffers from a life threatening condition will miraculously recover, or in rare cases this could mean the birth of the most beautiful friendship that you’ve always dreamed of.

Capricorn:

Challenge and Transformation:

It comes as no surprise that the challenges, that await Capricorn natives in 2019 are mostly psychological and emotional in nature, due to the fact the the North node of the Moon recently entered the sing of Cancer, which greatly increases everyone’s emotional vulnerability, and to add to this, the South node moved into their own sing (Capricorn), which at the beginning of 2019 makes them very auto-critical and unforgiving towards themselves.   While, this doesn’t sound like a massive challenge in it’s self, let’s not forget that Capricorns can be extremely judgmental and unforgiving towards themselves. Saturn being in it’s home sing empowers these natives equally in both a positive and negative way, the negative aspects can manifest as a self punishing and self destructive attitude. The Tower card is a perfect representation of this astrological configuration, which also highlights the fact that, the challenge Capricorn natives have to overcome in 2019 is to be gentle and kind towards themselves, by reevaluating those events of the past which had a negative impact on their love life or careers, all the mistakes they may have done, all the bad decisions they may have taken. This isn’t something new for Capricorns, they always tend to value the lessons of the past, but perhaps this time, everything has to be processed, or better said reprocessed through an emotional filter. If they manage to give less importance to the practical aspects and the practical outcomes of the situations which caused them distress, and put the main focus on what they were feeling, what emotions were driving them at that time, they will find a totally different truth to things, and the past, all the things they thought they knew, are going to take a very different shape and color. The 7 of swords speaks about the influence of some extremely toxic people, who they kept very close to their hearts, and the selfishness, narcissistic tendencies of those people who they sacrificed for was the major cause for all their bad decisions, and the negative influence which distorted the perceptions of Capricorn natives in the past. The true challenge here, is not just to reevaluate the past, and take the blame off from the Self and place it on those people who were the true authors of their suffering (and these people are either a very toxic partner, lover, close friend, or if we’re talking about career, then a boss, manager, director, direct superior), but to develop inner skills, a 6th sense so to speak, to identify negative, selfish, manipulative people before they can get too close and do some serious damage. The 7 of swords also suggests, that maybe, such a person is present in their lives, even as we speak, but their true intention still remain hidden and concealed, but not for long. That is why, it’s of the utmost importance to give way to emotions, to empower one’s intuition, to learn the true lessons of the past, to remove any misaligned belief, any illusion of the mind, so that the past can be seen and remembered for what it really was and how event really happened.

Opportunity:

The Sun card is joined by the Wheel of Fortune upright.  This is a wonderful combination, which means that Capricorn natives are going to enjoy a change of scenery. The Wheel card represents an event orchestrated by the divine which will help Capricorn natives to find and attract new people into their lives. These new friends are going to have a massively positive impact on every single area of life, and these new friendships are destined to last forever. It may be possible, that some of these new connections come from different corners of the world, all of which means that Capricorn natives are going to travel and see a lot of new and exciting places in the next 10 years. In fact, traveling, sight seeing, enjoying the pleasures of life in the company of like minded and spirited people, who they have a deep emotional, spiritual and even professional connection with, is going to be a source of major happiness in their lives.   Those Capricorn natives who are currently single, might change their status in 2019, because one of the possible meanings of the Wheel of Fortune is divine synchronicity, which will connect them in the most unexpected and mysterious way with their soul-mates or twin flame.   For those, who are going through material, financial difficulty,  the Wheel of Fortune can translate to a very fortunate event that will change their lives from a material perspective. The Sun card doesn’t signify wealth and prosperity without bounds, but rather a very comfortable and enjoyable lifestyle, where optimism and hope rules one’s emotional state.

Resolution:

The Empress joined by the Moon card signifies, that 2019 is going to start of a big change, but for each Capricorn native this change is going to suit their own personal needs. In other words, those areas of your life in which you were either disadvantages, or you intentionally neglected, are going to undergo a very positive change, and thus starting the journey towards total balance. Those of you who weren’t very lucky in love, will have the chance to live and experience everything that you’ve been left out of, the physical, carnal aspect having priority, which by the end of 2019 is going to transform into a stable relationship and in the coming years possible marriage.   Capricorn natives who are trying to buy/build a house or change homes, the Empress card signifies that this is going to be possible, with the best outcome, however this may not be fully under your control, because the Moon card adds a bit of mystery to where your new house is going to be. The Empress can also represent the birth of a business, or the chance to become a successful freelancer.  Last but not least, it can also translate to fertility and childbirth, so those natives who always dreamed of having children, 2019 is the year when your family is going to grow.

Aquarius:

Challenge and transformation:

The reading is opened by the Magician joined by the 4 of coins reversed. The meaning of the combination is pretty clear: you are being challenged to loosen your grip and let go of your desire to be fully in control of every area of your life. The Magician card, usually signifies the manifestation of one’s plans, and Aquarius natives are one of the best people in all the zodiac to create the perfect architecture, best blueprints for most areas of life. Mastery, knowledge, careful planning, meticulous calculations, diplomacy, negotiations are all very familiar tools for an Aquarius, and ultimately these represent their true power, the mastery over the elements, the symbolical power of their alchemy, through which they bend the course of life and the events that take place, to their will. While most people would love nothing more than to accomplish this, and be masters of their own fate, there’s also a dark side to all of this: when they accord a much bigger role and importance to the ego, then it is needed, then the manifestation of their will can take a very dark turn. And this is no secret to an Aquarius, they know too well that when they give into their egos, it’s like a ticking time bomb. 2019 is going to be a very important year, because Uranus, their ruler and guardian will form many astrological aspects with the other planets, greatly empowering, catalyzing and advantaging them in areas of of life which have to do with one’s place in society, one’s relationship with the self and other people alike, that is why it is imperative that you stop trying to control everything in your life, and give less importance to that, which you desire to accomplish, that which you desire to gain, and make place for Fate’s hand to guide you. If you allow yourself to be receptive to the impulses that  the Universe sends your way, and if you learn to live a more spontaneous and less planned life, you will enter a state of flow, where Uranus will shower you with pleasant surprises, empower you to change and eliminate things from your life that do not serve you, in a gentle and loving fashion, and guide you towards greater love and wisdom. However if you do not stop trying to control everything, and  everyone in your life, Uranus, is going to turn everything and everyone against you, until one way or another you will put a leash on your ego and keep it under control.

Opportunity:

The Star card is joined by the 3 of cups reversed signifies, that the opportunity that will advantage you in 2019 is not a material one, but a very important realization, a moment of epiphany, if you will.   2018 was an extremely difficult year for most Aquarius natives, some of you suffered material losses, others ended long term relationships, other were betrayed and back stabbed by people you expected this the least from, and while you did you very best to recover psychologically, you know too well that he wounds are not totally closed, they’re merely cauterized.   Events are going to take place in your life, especially in March, which will shed a great clarity on your situation, in the sense, that the events that hurt you so deeply, were the greatest blessings, because you will come to realize the fact that if they wouldn’t have happened when they did and how they did, your life would be an unbearable living hell due to the fact that the snowball would have reached a critical state, it would have been too much for you to psychologically handle. The Star card signifies a total change of heart, they way you feel about the past, it represent a sense of spiritual, material, emotional freedom and the pure joy of living a life with no strings attached.   In fact, the Universe was your greatest ally and friend, because it removed a source of great stress and sorrow from your life, whatever that might have been (a person, an unfaithful partner, a business which took up all your time, a fake friend etc), just that the time, when it happened, your soul was clouded by pain, and you couldn’t see the blessing for what it truly was. In other words, it is very painful to remove a malevolent tumor from one’s body, and the recovery is slow and full of aches and pains, but at the end of the day it also saves a life and gives way for new hopes, and dreams.

Resolution:

The Hanged man joined by the Justice card represents recovery from injustice done to you. Partially it represents karmic justice, where the Universe is going to intervene to compensate you for any possible hardship, pain and suffering that you endured in the past. This compensation can come in form of financial success, recognition of your talents, skills, an award that you achieve professionally, if you happen to be an artist, or perform artistic, creative work, this might be your path to fame and success, it could mean the successful completion of higher education or other forms of studies.   From a social, material perspective, this justice can mean a court ruling in your favor, official papers, or documents which protect your rights, or perhaps a compensation of some sort. It could also represent the completion of a divorce, giving back your freedom.   The Hanged man can also represent, that you will get the opportunity to put your own mistakes right. These mistakes refer to unwise decision that you may have taken in the past, or you may have followed bad advice which put you in disadvantage.   Regardless of how this justice plays out, one thing is for sure, emotionally, materially, socially 2019 is going to offer you a greater sense harmony, equilibrium, balance, you will feel, that after a very long time, you finally can enjoy your life, do things that bring your pleasure and satisfaction, and all the things that caused you stress and pain are going to be just a faint memory.

Pisces:

Challenge and Transformation:

For Pisces natives, the true challenge is not precisely linked to 2019, it may have already begun, and you might be in the middle of reaching a state of clarity and divine guidance to prevent things from going wrong. The Chariot card signifies a plan, project, decision, course of action, that you already started in 2018, which at that time seemed like a very good idea, and you had the feeling that it couldn’t possibly go wrong. The Hanged man signifies, that while your own vision, your own contribution, the way you originally thought things through was indeed a safe and sound plan, other peoples influence, intervention, “help”, expertise, advice distorted the direction towards which your Chariot was and is traveling. You either came to the realization, or are going to reach this conclusion very soon, either by the very end of 2018 or the first 3 moths of 2019, that you need to stop your Chariot from moving, because you either have to turn it back and upgrade or modify it, or you have to follow a different path, a different road, because the current one leads to loss, too many complications or the cost of success is way too high.   The Hanged man seems a little bit scary, because it implies a small loss, and extra sacrifices, but there is no need to worry, clarity, inspiration, new ideas are heading your way, and your challenge is simply to identify where the problem lies, and direct your plans towards a safer, risk free road, even if the journey takes a bit longer than you expected.

Opportunity:

The Death card speaks of ending and loss, termination, break ups, all of which are going to be your own decision. You have absolutely nothing to fear, because those endings, signify your personal victory over all the things in your life which bind you, keep you in place, and prevent you from living the life that you desire and deserve. Pisces natives are symbols of self sacrifice and sometimes an excess of compassion, comradeship, which makes you guys a magnet for people, who like to profit off you, and drain you from every bit of emotional energy and creativity that you can spare.(sometimes even more) It is these relationships that have to be terminated, in order for you to reach freedom, and start nourishing your own soul and body and recover your personal power. This could even mean the end of a partnership, end of a job, end of a friendship, the withdrawal from a group, the separation within a business etc. The most important aspect of this, is that it’s not going to be painful, there is absolutely no sorrow or hard feeling in this, but rather as the Ace of Cups (the most positive card in the Tarot) suggests, this will be the key to your ultimate happiness, emotional satisfaction, feeling good about yourself, being present, alive and happy in your own life, and sharing your inner and outer values with those people, who actually deserve it, and those people who also are there for you unconditionally. The Ace of Cups can also represent true love, or a love story which you can only see in movies. It could also mean total empowerment of the self, the creation of your own personal Heaven.   To add to this, we must highlight the fact that Pisces is a water sing governed by Neptune, so the Ace of Chalices, the divine gift of the water element, translates to a state of absolute bliss, the true gift of Neptune.   In very rare cases the Ace of Cups joined by the death card, means witnessing a miracle, a direct manifestation of the Divine.

Resolution:

Pisces natives are going to be truly blessed in 2019 because yet another Ace appeared in their reading. Aces, regardless of their element represent a gift offered by the Universe, a divine reward for one’s loyalty, compassion and tireless effort to help people in need, and strive to make the world a better place. Undoubtedly from ll the sings of the zodiac, it is Pisces natives who know the meaning of true selflessness and compassion, so it is them who the Universe would reward the most for their hard work. The Fool card represents a new beginning, it bears the number 0 (zero) which in numerology is the beginning of a new cycle, birth, start of a journey. Those of you who are thinking about starting a new business or taking your current one onto a who new level, like expansion, for example, 2019 is definitely going to be your year.   The best part of the reading is that it doesn’t even require your input, the Ace of Coins represents a material gift from the Divine, which can take an infinite number of forms, (from lottery jackpot to a donation, or a surprise inheritance which you never even knew about) so this new beginning is going to take place after you receive the necessary resources from the most mysterious sources in the most miraculous ways.
