Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
Many people assume that astrology is used to predict events,

and that a recognition of astrology's validity implies an ac-
ceptance of fatalism and a denial of individual free will. Over
the centuries, astrological prognostications have certainly
played an important role in the lives of world leaders and the
fate of nations. But predictability, and the fate which it im-
plies, are far more complex issues than simply a destiny writ-
ten "in the stars", about which the individual can do nothing.
In the following pages, your birth horoscope is analysed
according to the planetary movements which are occurring
over the next year. On one level, it is a "predictive" analysis.
But its purpose is not a foretelling of concrete events. It is an
exploration of the inner changes and cycles which occur in
every individual and which often mysteriously coincide with
events in the outer world. These planetary movements will
not tell us what WILL happen. They describe the stage the
individual has reached in his or her life, and what kind of re-
sponses can be expected to external situations which might
occur at any other time, but mean something special because
of the special time at which they are occurring.
The German poet Novalis once wrote, "Fate and soul are two
names for the same principle." This profound perception of
the identity of inner and outer worlds is often difficult for the
person unfamiliar with the deeper psychological dimensions
of astrology to recognise. Carl Jung echoed Novalis' senti-
ment when he said that a person's life is characteristic of the
person. We are complex creatures, made up of many facets,
and all the different dimensions of the human psyche will
seek, sooner or later, to find their place in the light of day and
achieve expression in the outer world. But some aspects of
the personality are inherently in conflict with other aspects.
Some will elbow others out of the way because we identify
with these at the expense of other, less developed attributes.
Human development, like that of any other living thing,
proceeds in stages, in an elaborate dance of interwoven
themes. When the time is right, certain aspects of the individ-
ual will strive for expression. In order for us to achieve that
expression, we may need to create, or find ourselves drawn
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 6
to, external situations which make us conscious of what we

were unaware of before.
Some life events are not the expression of any individual need,
conscious or unconscious. They reflect great collective move-
ments into which we may all be swept up. Wars, plagues,
famines, and holocausts may supercede any individual effort
at self-awareness or choice. But in those spheres where our
lives are our own, and not merged with the collective, we may
have many levels on which to fulfill the expression of our indi-
vidual horoscope patterns. We cannot be certain whether
particular events are inevitable, or whether, with foresight,
they might be avoided or transformed. We cannot be certain
of the extent to which we are required to act out or redeem
conflicts which have been part of the family psyche over many
generations. These things contribute to what we loosely call
"fate". Also, the choices we make at any point in time may
have unforeseen and far-reaching consequences on the kind
of events which occur later on. Cause and effect may play
more of a role in "fate" than we realise. What is clear from
the study of astrology is that no outer event is devoid of mean-
ing, or unconnected with individual psychological issues.
"Good" luck and "bad" luck are not luck at all, but reflections
of what in ancient Greece was known as kairos - the right mo-
ment.
Analysis of the year's planetary movements by computer is

necessarily limited, primarily because no computer can
ascertain what an individual has learned from experiences
which have occurred in the past. Every stage in life is pro-
cessed by individual consciousness, and the degree to which
we are self-aware, and have some understanding of our deep-
er needs and conflicts, may have a powerful effect, not only
on how we respond to events, but on the events themselves.
Consciousness, rather than fate, may determine whether we
are able to turn a painful or difficult time into one of inner
strengthening and self-knowledge, and whether we can take
advantage of the right moment to develop abilities or pursue
goals which previously we might not have realised were
possible. Our choices may be circumscribed by our genetic
inheritance on the physical level, and by social and collective
factors which place limits on our possibilities for growth. We
may also be circumscribed by our own self-doubt and blind-
ness, and wind up fating ourselves through reacting blindly to
the emotions which a particular situation stirs in us.
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 7
The paragraphs which follow only sketch in the barest fash-

ion the possible areas in which outer events might occur,
according to the year's planetary movements. They focus
primarily on the inner developments, conflicts, changes and
realisations which reflect the real meaning of the time. We
perceive the outer world through deeply subjective eyes, and
interpret events in accord with our own highly individual psy-
chic constitution. One person might look at a glass of water
and say, "Ah, it's half full, there is plenty for me to drink."
Another might look at the same glass and declare, "Oh, it's
half empty, there isn't enough for me to drink." One person
might view rejection by a loved one as a reflection of the oth-
er person's failings. Another might view it as an opportunity
for a deep examination of his or her expectations and
assumptions in matters of love. When a group of people
describe the same event, they describe it in as many ways as
there are people in the group. What matters in the end is the
meaning of the time for each of us as individuals, and what
the time can offer us in terms of the greater unfoldment of the
essential self.
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 8
Chapter II
THE YEAR'S MAIN THEMES
The paragraphs which follow describe the main planetary

themes which are likely to dominate the year, and which may
permeate virtually every area of your life. They are like the
bass line in a piece of music, and set the underlying tempo
and key. Although other planetary movements may form a
musical counterpoint, highlighting specific issues in different
ways at different times over the next twelve months, these
main themes provide the overall backdrop for this particular
stage of your development.
The dominant energy
Because you are usually comfortable in the world of ideas, the

underlying energies at work over the next twelve months are
likely to prove highly rewarding. You may experience a
powerful stimulation to your thinking and communicative
skills, and there is also likely to be a lot of movement - physi-
cally, through travel, or mentally, through exploring new
ideas and ideals. Even if you find that your thinking some-
times becomes too critical or negative, nevertheless you have
sufficient capacity for reflection to utilise times of intro-
spection to learn more about yourself and the people around
you. Challenges on the material level may sharpen your mind
and push you into learning new skills, and debate and verbal
conflict may encourage you to develop your powers of self-
expression to a higher level. You may find yourself occupied
with worldly concerns which, at other times, you would rather
have avoided. But if complicated negotiations and exchanges
seem to be dragging you down, try to remember that,
ultimately, this year is likely to enhance your knowledge of
life, improve your creative skills, and enhance your ability to
express yourself in fluent ways.
Quick perceptions
This could be an especially creative time for intellectual

development and the improvement of communicative skills.
Your mind is likely to be energised and you are probably prog. Mars sextile Mercury
looking for new and stimulating subjects to explore. Your End of January 2017
level of energy, while high, is not likely to be excessive, and until beginning of August 2019
you should be able to enjoy new areas of mental exploration
2018 2019 2020

« E]qC prog. Mars sextile Mercury
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 9
without feeling agitated or driven. Furthering your education

may be an excellent choice at this time, or involvement in a
training which enhances your artistic or practical skills. Your
thinking is likely to be particularly clear and sharp, your
perceptions acute, and your responses to situations quick and
practical. Business matters should go well because you are
able to bypass others' circumlocutions and see straight
through to the heart of a problem. And in your dealings with
both loved ones and colleagues, you are probably inclined at
the moment to be forthright and open in stating what you feel
and think.
You might benefit by putting energy and effort into travel,

media interests, and a broader look at life, especially from a
philosophical or spiritual perspective. Acquiring new skills
and aptitudes in these areas may be just what you need right
now. You are likely to be quite restless and impatient with
many areas of your life, not least your own mental attitudes,
which in some ways may have become a little stale and stuck
over the last few years. You need intellectual stimulation,
and perhaps more physical exercise as well. If you don't re-
spond to this need you may find yourself becoming snappish,
irritable and impatient because deep down you are bored and
need to break out of existing mental constructs. What you
initiate at this time is likely to prove of lasting benefit to your
life - particularly your ways of thinking and communicating.
But you need to do something with the positive energy of the
time; life will not drop goodies in your lap without some
effort on your part. Take the plunge and study something you
have always longed to learn; or go for the job which you al-
ways aspired to but thought you weren't good enough to get.
Your confidence is likely to be high right now, and so is your
ability to present yourself in an assured and forthright way.
The reality of the psyche
You may gain considerable insight into the deeper levels of

life right now, and you may find that you can see through the
superficial levels of human speech and behaviour to the prog. Mercury trine Pluto
motives and patterns hidden beneath. You have always had a Mid-October 2019
certain fascination with the hidden, and you have a natural until end of February 2021
love of secrets and secrecy. This may sometimes make you
feel isolated or suspicious, although your perceptions of life
are deeper and more honest than those of many people. How-
ever, at the moment your insights are not likely to cause you
2018 2019 2020

« E]qC prog. Mars sextile Mercury
C]pJ prog. Mercury trine Pluto »
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 10
inner conflict, and you may be able to express them fluently

to others. Your thinking is probably trenchant and penetrating
right now, and you are not likely to be fooled by sentiment,
deception, or idealisation. This could be an excellent time to
pursue psychological knowledge, both of yourself - through
some kind of counselling or therapeutic work - and of others.
Your attitudes and world-view are changing radically,
although gently and subtly. Your perceptions may be highly
complex and you may see subtleties which you might pre-
viously have missed. And you may also experience profound
realisations about power and the more compulsive elements
of human nature, including your own.
The only difficulty which this deep change in mental attitudes

might provoke is an intense feeling of loneliness, because
others cannot see what you see. For a while you may feel im-
patient with superficiality and annoyed by hypocrisy, and you
may find it increasingly hard to communicate with those who,
not long ago, were perfectly satisfactory intellectual compan-
ions. Truth isolates, especially truth of a psychological kind;
and you may find that certain people close to you are
threatened or disturbed by the fact that you can see through
their masks and smokescreens. This could leave you feeling a
little defensive and rather mistrustful, and you may be in-
clined to keep your thoughts to yourself. Although you might
need to be careful not to become too closed and suspicious, at
the same time you may also learn how to communicate in
subtle ways which do not reveal everything. Although know-
ing how to keep secrets can be utilised for deceptive and dis-
honest purposes, it is also essential in terms of preserving the
integrity of relationships and respecting the privacy of others.
And this positive aspect of self-containment could prove one
of the most creative potentials of this time.
---
Another important theme
There is another important dynamic at work this year, which

may sometimes support and sometimes contradict the ener-
gies described above.
2018 2019 2020

C]pJ prog. Mercury trine Pluto »
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 11
Because vision and intuition are often as real to you as con-

crete objects, you may find certain experiences and percep-
tions at work over the next year deeply inspiring and uplift-
ing. Religious or mystical feelings may run very strong, and
you may feel profoundly connected to the rest of humanity
and part of the larger life of the planet or the cosmos. Your
innate idealism may seem affirmed and verified by external
circumstances, and opportunities for creative work or a deeper
spiritual commitment may give your life renewed purpose and
meaning. Don't let optimism and a sense of inner rightness
preclude good old-fashioned hard work to make your ideals
real. There may be a danger that you may spend so much
time feeling life is wonderful that you let it slip by without
taking the opportunities which will probably come your way.
And don't forget that others may not see what you see, and
may find it hard to fly with you if you do not take the time to
share your feelings and intuitions with them. A little patience
and circumspection would be extremely useful to you during
the next twelve months, as you may leap too high too soon, or
ignore personal responsibilities which need attending to. Dur-
ing this period a great many doors could open, on many levels
and in many areas of your life. If you are willing to back up
vision with planning, persistence, and sensitivity, this could
be one of the most rewarding times you have ever experi-
enced.
Gifts from heaven
This is a time of great opportunity, if you can recognise what

is on offer and take advantage of it in a practical way. On the
emotional level you are liable to feel expansive and confident, Jupiter conjunction Sun
and may find yourself enjoying life to the full. But this is only End of February 2019
the surface of what is happening to you, and if you do nothing until beginning of December 2019
except sit back and take your pleasure, this period will merely
pass and leave a pleasant but vague memory. On a deeper
level, your sense of individual identity is growing stronger,
and you are in a better position to formulate your goals and
move forward because you are probably more certain of your
right to fulfillment and also more able to listen to your intu-
ition. Situations which might have passed you by in the past
may suddenly seem to hold the promise of future develop-
ment and gain, and it is these situations to which you should
be paying attention. This does not mean heaven will pour
goodies into your lap without effort. You may not even see
material rewards for some time; or the rewards may not be
2018 2019 2020

sr sd F^mA Jupiter conjunction Sun
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 12
material in nature anyway. But whatever you begin now

could have far-reaching consequences for your future.
In order to feel really fulfilled in life you will sooner or later

need to make your mark on the world through individual
effort and skill, and you are probably aware of this even if
you have not been able to act on the insight. If you have been
fortunate enough to make your outer life echo your inner val-
ues, you may discover new possibilities within your chosen
field of endeavour. It is in this sphere that you can best ex-
pand your life and your aspirations. Although gambling fool-
ishly with time, energy, money or relationships would prove
extremely unproductive, nevertheless you might find the
courage to explore new ventures which previously you would
have been too diffident to try. Even if an offer comes your
way which does not seem to be aligned with your present
work situation, take the time to examine it, to see whether it
might yield something of value to you for the future.
You might discover that you need to do something radically

different with your life. You might also feel extremely rest-
less, and wish to move house, travel, or even emigrate. As
long as you retain some common sense and don't abandon
people, places and situations which really matter to you, big
changes of this kind might be the very thing you need.
Because you yourself are growing and changing, your envi-
ronment may need to change as well. You may also meet
people who are particularly inspiring, or who help you to
open new intellectual, professional or spiritual doors.
Because you are probably feeling tolerant and generous, you
are likely to attract tolerance and generosity in return.
Relationships which enter your life at this time may or may
not have the potential for enduring stability, but they are
bound to be exciting and expansive. Although you may not
be in the mood for a permanent romantic commitment, you
could be happily surprised by the lasting friendships that enter
your life now. Try to be patient. You are not pursuing a pot
of gold at the end of a rainbow, but discovering new
potentials within yourself, which will take time and effort
before they mature.

jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 13
Opportunities for achievement
At the moment you have, as they used to say in Victorian

times, "good prospects". You may feel unusually optimistic
about where you are going in life, and intense restlessness Jupiter conjunction MC
may be combined with a sense that great opportunities lie just Mid-February 2019
around the corner. Try to take advantage of any professional until mid-November 2019
openings that come your way, provided they do not involve
you in illegal activities or cause you to trample over others,
because what you begin now is likely to yield fruit later and
help you to rise in life. You may be feeling constricted in
your work and limited in your goals, and you are probably
glimpsing distant horizons with greener pastures which may
make your present situation seem banal or unequal to your
potentials. If you are prepared to do the groundwork and find
the patience necessary to anchor these intuitions, you could be
opening up a much more creative and materially rewarding
phase of your life.
You may need a field of work which can allow you to devel-
op and fully express your adventurousness, love of learning,
and need to disseminate new ideas, and if your present work
situation cannot provide you with a vehicle for these aptitudes
then you might need to look around for avenues which could
prove more rewarding. At the moment you are likely to expe-
rience "luck" in such a quest - not because some impersonal
fate favours you, but because you have the right combination
of sound thinking, inspiration, intuition, confidence, and will-
ingness to take risks. But you will also need discipline and
tenacity if you are to turn potentials into solid reality. There-
fore do not expect that the heavens will open and drop a pot
of gold in your lap without your lifting a finger. The oppor-
tunities you encounter may at first seem humble; or you may
get help, advice or support from someone in authority which
could prove invaluable to you later. Don't turn this away just
because some effort is required on your part. The only neg-
ative element likely to afflict you at the moment is that you
might feel you are entitled to something for nothing. But any
"good luck" you experience is probably firmly rooted in your
own talents as well as in your past efforts to make something
out of your life. And future rewards will probably be firmly
based on any efforts you make now to turn your vision into
reality.

A challenge to faith
Your faith in life is likely to be challenged right now. This

may seem difficult for a time, but such a confrontation with
what you really think and believe could prove an extremely Chiron opposition Jupiter
creative influence on your future progress and sense of inner End of May 2019
serenity. You are probably feeling restless and restricted at until end of February 2022
the moment, and external circumstances of a sudden or un-
expected nature may dampen your enthusiasm and squash The same themes are also
certain cherished hopes. But the process at work within you emphasised by:
is more complex than a simple thwarting of goals and wishes.
The particular issues which you are facing may in some way
cast a mercilessly truthful light on your habitual ways of see-
ing life, and the philosophical or spiritual approach which you Jupiter trine Chiron
espouse. Your entire system of values could be challenged, An approaching transit,
through events or situations which seem to fly in the face of from mid-January 2020
what you have always thought to be true or right. Or you may until mid-February 2020
not have thought enough about these deeper life issues in the
past, and you could now discover that they are much more
important to you than you realised. This could provoke some
very serious soul-searching and perhaps a long-overdue
reevaluation of your ideals.
You generally tend to view relationships as opportunities for

growth on many different levels. In the main, your good faith
has probably been rewarded, in part because optimism and
trust are infectious and people tend to respond to them pos-
itively. But at the moment your belief in your good fortune
might not seem to be working. You may find it hard to use
your intuition to peer around the corner at the future, and you
may fail to understand any deeper meaning or purpose in
what you are experiencing. Life may simply seem dispiriting
and unfair at the moment, and you may not able to expand
and move ahead no matter how hard you try. During this time
you might need to accept life's darker and more unpredictable
aspects. Now you may need to reevaluate what you truly
believe in, so that you can meet life's vicissitudes in a more
tolerant and accepting spirit. Any difficult circumstances you
encounter at the moment are likely to reflect a deeper change
in your attitudes, and any depression or bitterness you feel
may indicate that somehow your faith has not been deeply
rooted enough, or has been too narrow to encompass what
you are now experiencing. Rather than reacting to outer re-
strictions or mishaps with rage or an impulsive bid to break
free and move elsewhere, try to sit still for a while, and ob-

serve what kind of responses your present situation is invok-

ing within you. There is an important and positive meaning
to the loss of faith, if you will take the time to explore it.
Try not to get so impatient with circumstances that you begin

to blunder through barriers in an effort to feel free of re-
striction. This is particularly true of financial matters, which
at present may pose problems. It is also true of your close
relationships, in which you may also feel restricted or tied
down. Any sense of restriction you experience may be com-
ing from within yourself, because you are outgrowing certain
old attitudes and might need to cultivate a more flexible view-
point. Before you make decisions which could affect your
future stability, try to see where any inner conflict might lie.
If you are hurt or disillusioned right now, you may need to
move beyond injured pride, and explore where your own un-
conscious expectations might have led you to expect more
than any human being could possibly offer. You may also
need to look for any deep unconscious assumptions that you
are entitled to exemptions which ordinary mortals must live
without. Many subtle issues could be raised during this peri-
od, including secret fantasies of an inflated kind. You may
need to find a strength and self-sufficiency rooted in real life,
not just in high hopes and ideals. You may feel a little
humbled by this period, but you will probably come out stron-
ger, wiser, and more confident.

SIGNIFICANT TRENDS
IN EACH SPHERE OF LIFE
Because the cycles of the planets create a complex and in-

tricate pattern in the heavens, not every movement in your
horoscope will dance to the same rhythm at the same time.
There may be periods when the year's main themes seem to
fade somewhat, because some special issue has brought other
feelings, attitudes and responses to the fore. Some of these
trends and patterns may be brief and some longer-lasting,
giving variety to your life experience during the course of the
year.

1. The sphere of emotions
There may be periods during the year when matters concern-

ing your emotional life take priority in a difficult way. You
might experience some times of personal unhappiness, and
you may feel like blaming others at the time. But if you can
achieve some awareness of the deeper psychological issues
involved, you could turn such difficulties into positive learn-
ing experiences. Unhappiness is not a permanent state any
more than happiness is, even if you might feel that way at
certain moments, and the hard times will pass. Conflicts with
loved ones may occur which leave you feeling resentful or
unfulfilled, but it may be important to take such experiences
as opportunities to resolve emotional patterns from the past
which have secretly been causing you trouble for a long time.
Learning self-sufficiency
During this period you are likely to discover a new sense of

strength, self-containment and serenity. But this process may
challenge old habit patterns. You may feel as though you are Saturn square prog. Moon
carrying burdens in your personal life from which you cannot From July 2018, for several more
see any escape. You may also feel lonely and unappreciated, years
and others may seem to be insensitive, unresponsive or indif-
ferent. However, before you descend into a trough of self-pity The same themes are also
and resentment, you may need to recognise the nature and emphasised by:
meaning of the process which is taking place within you.
You are experiencing a period of emotional maturing which
could leave you with much greater self-sufficiency, and at the
moment you probably need to learn how to nourish and Saturn trine Moon
nurture yourself. The more you demand that others do some- Beginning of January 2019
thing to make you feel better, the less likely you are to get until end of November 2019
what you want, for you are likely to be as closed to them as
you accuse them of being to you. And if you try to hold on to
relationships which are passing or proving unviable, you may
be doing so not because you truly want and need them, but
because you are afraid of being alone.
In the past, you may have depended too much on unchanging

stability and structure in your environment to provide you
with a sense of safety and security. You may also have ex-
pected too much from others, secretly hoping that they would
provide a kind of parenting which could keep you protected
and sheltered from loneliness and change. Now you may
have to accept the fact that others cannot provide uncondi-

tional love all the time, and you may need to be able to take
them as they are without becoming bitter or cynical, or blam-
ing yourself for being unlovable. You may also need to ac-
cept your own limits, and understand that you cannot be avail-
able to everyone all the time. Learn to value yourself and
look after your own well-being, for at the moment it is likely
that no one is going to do it for you to the extent you might
wish. If you feel burdened with the responsibility to look
after someone else right now, you may need to learn to say
no; or, if you cannot, then you may need to learn to delegate
responsibility or find a balance which honours your own
needs as well as those of loved ones.
You are probably feeling very restricted and trapped. There

may be objective reasons for this; but equally, you may be
trapping yourself because you find it so difficult to express
what you want and don't want. You may be too frightened of
being separate and causing disharmony in your emotional life.
Yet if you are not honest with yourself and others right now,
unexpressed anger could place too much stress on your body,
or you might inadvertently alienate the very people you are so
fearful of losing because your resentment may show itself in
covert if not overt ways. In some ways, you cannot win right
now: Your choices are between self-affirmation and the risk
of loneliness, or self-suppression and the risk of long-term re-
sentment. Whatever you do, you will pay a price; inner
strength of the lasting kind does not come cheap. But
ultimately honesty about who you are will reap rewards in the
future, while dishonesty now will result in the same problem
reappearing even more powerfully in a few years' time. If you
learn to define your own needs, you may upset one or two
people. You may even have to say goodbye to one or two
people, or put up with a period of coolness or friction. But
you will also discover that you have loyal and loving support
from those who truly understand you. And if you can stand
on your own feet, you will be able to enjoy relationships
much more in the future because you can grant greater free-
dom both to your loved ones and yourself.

Encounters with loneliness
This is likely to be a time of testing in your personal life. You

are reaching a greater degree of maturity in terms of your
ideals of love and your expectations of loved ones, and this Saturn conjunction prog. Venus
reflects a fundamentally positive stage in your development. Beginning of February 2019
But increasing maturity may open your eyes not only to your until end of December 2019
own past naivety, but also to others' limits in terms of the kind
of love you hope to receive from them. You may sometimes
feel isolated, lonely, rejected or ignored by those from whom
you need the most. Long-standing relationships may go
through a difficult or hurtful time, and you may be prone to
feeling insecure, threatened, jealous or unloved. Whether
loved ones really are behaving badly, or whether you yourself
are withdrawn, difficult to reach or too demanding and crit-
ical, is a question you may need to explore. Certain painful
experiences you may encounter at this time might be self-
engendered or exacerbated by your own attitudes, because
you could be unconsciously driving others away from you.
Or you may be intolerant of things in them which previously
you found perfectly acceptable. Either way, it might be wise
to do some hard soul-searching about your values and expect-
ations in relationship. This way, once this period of your life
has passed, you will have a more realistic perspective from
which to assess which bonds you want to preserve and which
you may need to leave behind.
You may feel especially dissatisfied and discontented about

your religious beliefs and your overall world-view, and for a
time you may be unable to find hope for happiness in the
future. Whatever others are doing, they are not likely to get it
right at the moment, for your expectations are probably too
high and you are inclined to be critical of how others express
their affection to you. All this may make you feel rather cyn-
ical. You may also have to recognise that certain relation-
ships are simply not good for you and must pass out of your
life. Feelings of loneliness may also make you feel a little
desperate, and you may enter a new relationship which you
hope will alleviate your difficult feelings and offer the happi-
ness which lately has been slipping away. But be careful with
any new ties you make at this time. They may prove fulfilling
and could become extremely important in your life. But you
might also be taking on a situation which is more complicated
and difficult than you realise. Because you are likely to be
feeling insecure and unsure of your worth and lovability, you
2018 2019 2020

sr sd
G^mD] Saturn conjunction prog. Venus
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 19
may be so in need of affection and reassurance from another

person that you aren't willing to stop and ask yourself whether
your new love is really someone you like, respect and truly
want to be with.
Try to put your energy into assessing your own values, rather
than searching for someone who can make you feel less
lonely. Let partners be themselves for the moment, even if
you think they are being particularly difficult. And go slowly
with new contacts until you know more, not only about the
other person but also about yourself. You will not always feel
the way you are feeling right now, and as your self-con-
fidence returns your tastes and values may change too. If you
feel undervalued in your working life right now, the same
principle applies. Has your lack of self-value got you into
your present situation? Have you been selling your talents
and skills too cheaply? On the most profound level your val-
ues are being crystallised and made real. If you can pay less
attention to what others are doing wrong, and concentrate
more on what you yourself are doing right in terms of who
you are and what you want, you will have a firm basis of self-
knowledge and self-esteem on which future relationships -
and the future of existing relationships - can find solid and
lasting ground.
Feeling alone against the world
Whatever is occurring in your outer life, your inner state is

likely to be one of considerable tension. You may have a
sense that powerful forces are aligned against you. Inwardly, Saturn square Pluto
you could be experiencing an almost mythic battle which, End of December 2019
although external circumstances might not merit such a dra- until end of October 2020
matic interpretation, may feel real enough to you. A feeling
of threat and slight paranoia may afflict you now, and you are
probably not inclined to trust life or the people around you.
All your most primitive survival instincts are being activated,
and it may seem that the only options are total victory or total
defeat and humiliation. At the moment external pressures,
combined with powerful emotional responses, may make you
want to stand and fight ferociously, or else bow your head and
submit passively. Neither response may be appropriate, and
you might be wiser to hold the middle ground, preserving
what you know to be right for you while letting go of any
relationships, structures or attitudes which you know you
have moved beyond but which you have been clinging to
2018 2019 2020

sr sd

GôJ Saturn square Pluto sr »
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 20
because of security needs. Your life is changing because your

inner nature is changing, and you are contacting deeper levels
and needs within yourself which you may not have given
sufficient acknowledgement to before. Your real battle may
be between that in you which knows it is time to bring a
chapter of your life to a close, and that in you which fears any
change over which you do not have absolute control.
The issues which are triggering your feelings may vary enor-
mously; but the effects are likely to be felt in your emotional
and sexual life, as well as in your attitude toward life's mys-
teries. You may experience profound shifts in attitude, and
may discover darker, more primitive feelings and attitudes
than you might have realised you possessed. You may also
discover the extent of your emotional power and intensity,
and will probably not be able to ignore the strength of your
feelings. Your reponses to people and situations may not be
governed by reason at the moment, but by passion. This
might not be not a bad thing, because you could feel much
more alive; but you may need to be careful not to unleash
your passions in ways which could be destructive to you.
Because you are likely to feel threatened, you could react by
attempting to gain absolute power over those who seem to
threaten you. This could invoke deep enmity and opposition,
which would make your life much more difficult. This is not
a time to bring in the big guns, for you may risk being de-
feated in your attempts to achieve what you want. Small guns
might be more appropriate; even better are the attributes of
patience, diplomacy, and the capacity to watch and wait.
Present conflicts may have roots in the past, and it is possible

that, around seven years ago, you made certain decisions
whose consequences are now facing you, or you began a new
venture or relationship which is now being put to the test.
You may need to look to the past, to see where certain
attitudes of your own, developing slowly over the last few
years, have helped to create the opposition you might now be
experiencing. You may have been too rigid, or too unwilling
to consider others' viewpoints; or you may have been too in-
sistent on having absolute control. Control and power are in
fact the deeper themes which underly this period in your life.
You may need to explore just how much you need power,
personal or worldly, and what you are prepared to do to get it;
and you may also need to recognise that compromise does not
have to mean defeat or humiliation. You could discover your
2018 2019 2020

jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 21
own hidden power-drives through facing opposition from

others' equally powerful need to control. Jungle warfare
would not be appropriate at the moment, no matter how much
you might feel like waging it. If you are able to avoid the
more savage human tendencies to retaliate and destroy, you
can emerge from this time with a much deeper sense of
strength and potency.
That feeling of destiny
At the moment it may feel as though fate has come to meet

you in your personal life. During this time your experiences
with others are likely to be coloured with dramatic intensity Pluto conjunction prog. Venus
and punctuated by events, or perceptions of events, which For several years, until
seem quite beyond your ability to control. Your beliefs and November 2019
world-view may be challenged right now, and you may need
to reevaluate all you thought was true and right in terms of
religious and moral assumptions. Encounters with those from
different cultures and backgrounds could transform your out-
look. Out of this could come an authentic and heartfelt
commitment, which offers you a stronger and more enduring
code for living. On the most profound level you may have to
look more deeply at your values, your assumptions and pre-
conceptions about love and sexuality, and your definitions of
male and female roles. Most importantly, you may have the
opportunity to look beneath the surface at what really goes on
between two people - and what really goes on within you.
This is a time when emotional honesty, and a willingness to
face the darker and more possessive or destructive elements in
your interaction with others, could yield enduring insights and
rewards.
You may experience what is sometimes called a "fated en-

counter" at this time, and you may become involved with a
person or group which exercises a peculiar compulsion over
you. This fascination may not necessarily be sexual, but it is
likely to be passionate. Equally, you may experience this
kind of compulsive emotion through a partner who feels
powerfully drawn to someone else. But whether a new
relationship enters your life, an old one leaves it, or a battle
must be fought to preserve an important bond, something of
your own old attitudes will have to die in the general confla-
gration. Your capacity for love is deepening; you are facing
just what commitment to another person really means. You
may have to accept the dark side of a loved one, or even the
2018 2019 2020

« sd sr sd J^mD] Pluto conjunction prog. Venus
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 22
loss of someone dear to you, because such experiences are

fundamental aspects of life and love. Whatever happens dur-
ing this time, you have probably rarely, if ever, felt so in-
tensely, nor had access to so much insight into yourself.
Try not to behave possessively or compulsively, even if the

desire to keep or control what you feel is yours may some-
times seem overwhelming. Any attempt to possess loved
ones may drive them away, for possession transforms love
into a power battle which no one ultimately wins. The more
compassionate and generous-hearted you are able to be - even
under provocation - the better you can handle any intense
feelings which are bubbling away under the surface. Jeal-
ousy, compulsive attraction, depression, brooding resentment,
or intense feelings of rivalry may be part of the emotional diet
for a while. If a new relationship appears simple and un-
complicated, watch out; it is likely to prove far more complex
as time reveals more truths about you as well as your loved
one. Emotional commitment may seem desperately important
at the moment, and a marriage or formal commitment may
seem right or necessary. But you probably need more insight
into your own unconscious motives before you sign anything
that binds you too tightly. Sexual passion may run high right
now, and this may provoke anger and resentment if you are in
a relationship where the responses are likely to be cool.
Whatever life brings you during this period, it will stretch and
deepen you. Try to enter into new experiences with as much
understanding and generosity as possible. If you didn't recog-
nise the power and reality of the unconscious psyche before,
you will by the time this period of your life has passed.
Emotional turbulence
You may experience considerable emotional turbulence dur-

ing this period. Powerful emotions and instincts are being
activated within you, which may make you feel disturbed or Pluto square prog. Moon
threatened. You may be aware of compulsive feelings which Beginning of November 2019
might give you the sense that some fate is at work in your life. until mid-June 2020
"Fate" in the colloquial sense - an impersonal force or power
that dictates events - is probably an inappropriate term. But
certain deep-rooted patterns from your childhood and family
background may be at work beneath the surface of conscious-
ness, and you may be facing an emotional situation which
activates memories and experiences belonging to the early
part of your life. You may have to contend with some kind of
2018 2019 2020

« sd sr sd J^mD] Pluto conjunction prog. Venus
JôB] Pluto square prog. Moon sd
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 23
relationship conflict or separation during this time, marking

the end of a phase of your emotional life and the beginning of
a new one. Or you may find yourself faced with some of the
darker aspects of human nature, which could make you feel
disillusioned, depressed, or powerless. You are not a victim.
But at the moment you might sometimes feel like one. Your
habitual expectations of others, or perhaps of yourself, may,
at the moment, be challenged by circumstances and behaviour
which you find hard to countenance.
It may be wise to let go of any relationship now passing from

your life, rather than struggling to hold on to a situation which
may no longer be viable. Your need to hold tightly to the
symbols of material security may be proving impossible to
fulfill at the moment, and you may be required to learn great-
er emotional self-sufficiency as well as facing your deeper
motives and needs. Try to avoid getting into a power-struggle
with those close to you. Jealousy, possessiveness, resent-
ment, and spite are destructive feelings which, even if you ex-
perience them, need to be contained rather than unleashed;
and it would be unwise to attempt to control others in an
effort to preserve your security or restore a sense of potency.
You may feel rather anxious at the moment. If so, it is likely
to be the natural outgrowth of the changes taking place within
you. You are outgrowing certain aspects of your psycho-
logical inheritance, and you will probably feel much freer and
able to relate more spontaneously when this time has passed.
Make the effort to look inward, and try to maintain objectiv-
ity. You may gain considerable insight into any ways in
which you may have been expressing too much dependency,
or expressed it in unconsciously manipulative or negative
ways. Such insight can free you from many long-term resent-
ments and hurts. Although your feelings may be turbulent
during this time, keep your eyes open and your perceptions
clear. The wisdom you acquire can deepen and enrich your
life.

jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 24
2. The sphere of the physical world
Matters concerning your physical and material life are also

likely to prove important, but some of these may turn out to be
quite difficult. You may have to face challenges over the next
twelve months which make you question your work and your
place in the world, and frustration - with yourself, with money
issues, or with employers or colleagues - may bring your tem-
per to boiling point, or generate an unhappy sense that you
have failed in some way. Try to keep your mind focused on
what you can learn from such situations, and what your own
contribution to the difficulties might be. With patience, effort,
and consciousness, you could turn mundane difficulties into
opportunities for developing strength, commitment, and te-
nacity. Later on, when the time of difficulty has passed, these
qualities, because they have been hard-won, could help you to
anchor your talents and abilities firmly in the world.
Questioning the future
Thoughts of mortality and feelings of life's sadness may be

with you much of the time right now, and you are likely to
swing between feeling the future is just opening up and feel- Jupiter square Saturn
ing it is closing down. You may experience conflict with a End of December 2019
partner, or feelings of restriction within a close relationship. until mid-January 2020
But you may also realise how certain fears and inhibitions
might have made you secretly attempt to control loved ones.
You have probably always had some difficulty in reconciling
natural optimism and enthusiasm with a defensive emotional
withdrawal following difficult experiences, and this conflict
may have contributed to your being both foolhardy and ex-
cessively cautious at different periods in your life. Now you
may be trying to come to terms with a gap between your faith
in life's bounty and your awareness of life's limits, and there
are moments when you are likely to feel deeply dispirited,
fearful, depressed, or cynical about beliefs and ideals you
once held. Try to take plenty of time to make decisions of
any kind, since your swings in mood may make you feel
overly optimistic one moment and overly pessimistic the next.
Many opportunities may lie waiting for you to take them, yet
unreal expectations or indecision may make you overextend
yourself. Equally, you may have to keep on going, even if a
cynical inner voice tells you to quit. You will probably have
to make important decisions during this period, particularly in
relation to your working life or a domestic situation which
2018 2019 2020

FôG Jupiter square Saturn
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 25
you find restrictive or limiting. Yet you are not likely to find
such decision-making easy.
Although it may seem that others are responsible for any feel-
ings of hurt or restriction you experience at the moment, you
may discover that it has really been you, at least in large part,
who has secretly ensured you could not be hurt through
adopting rigid or defensive attitudes. Experiences of loss,
separation or financial or professional difficulty may be the
triggers for deep insights. Try to see whether or not you
might have contributed to a present crisis - or are responding
to challenges in ways which are more negative than they need
to be. Something deep within you is being freed from
bondage right now. Your sense of your own failings and lim-
itations may be too great, and you may have denied yourself
many emotional and creative outlets because you feared fail-
ure or rejection. Now you may be able to see where these
blocks lie. You are growing and moving beyond the
structures, internal and external, which you have built around
yourself for reasons of security and social acceptability. You
may need to pursue a new field of work, or a new relation-
ship; but such changes, if they are required, need to be made
with care and reflection, not impulsively out of frustration and
anger. Try not to indulge your impatience; you are more
likely to need calm reflection and a recognition of your own
contribution to any present impasse. This could be an im-
mensely fruitful time, if you can maintain the balance
between a realistic assessment of your limits, needs and abil-
ities, and a growing sense that life holds many possibilities
which have previously been denied you and which you may
now be urgent to pursue.
Not getting what you want
Frustration and anger may make this time rather difficult,

although its end result is likely to be greater discipline, te-
nacity and self-confidence. You may find that increased re- Saturn conjunction Mars
sponsibilities and obligations, failure to achieve particular End of February 2019
goals, or a lowering of energy which makes work more until beginning of January 2020
difficult, contribute to your sense that you are not being al-
lowed to do what you want in life. During this period you are
likely to feel particularly resentful if circumstances or people
get in your way. It is probable that someone or something
may indeed curtail your freedom of action, and you may need
to understand why this might be happening and how to deal
2018 2019 2020

FôG Jupiter square Saturn
sr sd G^mE Saturn conjunction Mars
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 26
with it in the most constructive way. Because you are in-

clined to feel irritable and impatient, you may provoke
quarrels with others or make sudden, impulsive decisions for
very questionable reasons. You may also be careless in your
dealings with the material world, and if you are not alert to
your own mood your impatience might make you drive reck-
lessly or take risks which you would avoid or handle differ-
ently at other times. The most irritating thing one can say to
an impatient person is, "Be patient!" - but this is exactly what
you need to tell yourself, several times a day.
Your sense of frustration is likely to be focused on your

efforts to achieve greater recognition and authority in your
working life. It is here that, if you are not conscious of sup-
pressed anger, you may inadvertently provoke others' anger or
incur opposition to your wishes and plans. If you do encoun-
ter hostile people who appear determined to thwart you, con-
sider first whether they really are trying to oppose you, or
whether you are interpreting their behaviour in this way even
though their requests or wishes are perfectly appropriate and
justifiable. Consider also whether any quarrel that erupts may
be as much a reflection of your own obduracy as the other
person's. You are not the most amenable or receptive of
people at the moment, and you may not be fully aware of
hidden resentment which communicates itself to others in
subtle but powerful ways. And because frustration may under-
mine your sense of potency and masculine confidence at the
moment, you may be inclined to try to compensate by assert-
ing your authority over others - perhaps in insensitive or in-
appropriate ways.
The deeper meaning of this time is concerned with the devel-

opment of inner discipline and the capacity to harness and
direct your will and energies toward realistic and achievable
goals. If you can view your situation from this perspective,
you may be able to turn an otherwise frustrating period into
one of hard work with good, solid results and rewards. Your
self-will may be colliding with some fundamental laws of
mundane reality, and you may need to develop a spirit of
compromise and patience. Try not to become aggrieved and
bitter. If someone else seems to be treating you with in-
sensitivity or harshness, it may be important for you to learn
to withdraw quietly and wait, rather than reacting just as in-
sensitively and harshly out of wounded pride. You are prob-
ably learning one of life's simplest but hardest lessons: We
2018 2019 2020

jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 27
cannot always have or do exactly what we want. You might

also discover something very important about whether you
have truly been decisive and self-motivated in the past.
Perhaps you have a pattern of putting yourself into situations
where you wind up failing, or doing what others want. If so,
this could prove a valuable discovery because you can only
change what you are conscious of within yourself. With re-
flection and patience, this could be an enormously strengthen-
ing and maturing time, when you really begin to take charge
of your life.
---
3. The mental sphere
The development of your mind, and the cultivation of new

skills, may also occupy a lot of your energy at different times
during the year. The life of the mind is as important as the life
of the heart and the life of the bank account, and this time
could prove very important in enhancing your level of knowl-
edge and the application of your talents. Try to take advant-
age of any opportunity to pursue new areas of study and new
spheres of interest, and if you have the chance to acquire
useful skills on the practical level, make use of the time in the
best possible way. Such opportunities may not always be
available, and you might be surprised at how life opens up
when your perceptions are changed and expanded.
Bright ideas
The world may seem sunny and benign right now, and you
may feel unusually optimistic and willing to view life from a
more philosophical point of view. Problems which in the past Jupiter conjunction Mercury
may have merely depressed you may now seem like lessons End of January 2019
from which you can learn and grow. You are likely to be rest- until end of October 2019
less, but not destructively so, and your restlessness will prob-
ably make you want to explore the world and learn more
about life from a universal rather than a personal perspective.
Your intuition is also likely to be alive and active, allowing
you to make connections between different experiences or
different facts so that you can see patterns where before you
may only have seen chance or random information. You
might also be inclined to ask bigger questions about bigger

issues, for you are able to look beyond your immediate expe-
riences and explore the deeper meaning of religious symbols
and ideas. You may also feel particularly 'lucky' in some
ways, although luck is not really what is at work in your life.
But opportunities may appear which you never expected, and
you might find solutions to problems you thought insoluble,
largely because intuition combined with an open mind, plus a
positive and inclusive outlook, can lead to what looks like
luck accompanying your efforts.
You can, of course, simply enjoy the high spirits of this time,
and then it will pass. But if you are wise you will try to take
advantage of the opportunities offered to you, especially those
which concern the development of new skills and new spheres
of interest and study. Although you may not see immediate
material rewards, you will be planting seeds for the future, for
you have rarely been so open to life's potential bounty and ex-
citement. Travel may prove particularly important to you
now, not merely because it is fun, but because you may make
new contacts and develop a broader outlook which will
benefit you greatly later. Don't just trust your luck and
gamble with money and resources; this could provide tempo-
rary fun and perhaps some material reward, but it could also
prove a waste of time and cost you more than you can afford
to lose. This period is not about making a quick financial
"killing". It can offer you a powerful expansion and deepen-
ing of your mental attitudes, and a crystallisation of in-
tellectual and creative potentials which need further work and
effort to anchor in life. Take this time seriously, for you are
being offered a glimpse of a potential future for which you
can now begin to lay the groundwork. And anything you
learn and discover right now is likely to become a lasting part
of your world-view, which will go on enriching your life for
many years to come.
Broader vision
This is an excellent time to seek greater independence in your

working life. You may be more confident than usual, and
more determined to find individual channels to express your prog. MC sextile Uranus
abilities and talents. You may feel very restless and frustrated Mid-April 2017
if you are confined within a hierarchical or institutional until end of May 2019
structure at work, and you could fruitfully use this time to
learn new skills and make new contacts so that you can move
toward greater self-sufficiency in the future. You may also be

drawn to unusual interests, especially in so-called 'New Age'

subjects, or to new technological or scientific work, and you
may want to be more involved with the larger human family
in some kind of humanitarian effort or activity. Your mental
outlook is changing and expanding, and your world-view is
likely to be more tolerant and inclusive. This could have
profound effects on many areas of your life, as you begin to
discern those spheres where a rigid or conventional outlook
has blocked the road to many creative possibilities.
At work as well as in your private life you probably need

room to explore different cultures, world-views and spiritual
or philosophical ideas, and this may entail changes in your
relationship with employers, work colleagues, and those in
authority over you. You may also have to make certain ad-
justments in your personal life, if you have been adhering too
strenuously to a conventional social or sexual role. But you
don't necessarily have to create a crisis or alienate those
around you to benefit from the positive energy of the time. At
the moment you probably have the objectivity, enthusiasm
and vision to find ways of expressing new ideas while still en-
listing the support of others. You may receive assistance
from friends who sympathise with your point of view, or rec-
ognise potentials in you which deserve cultivation. Try to
take advantage of the opportunities now presenting them-
selves. If you have been constrained in the past by fears or
security needs, you may be able to achieve a more detached
perspective which allows you to see the pattern of your life on
a broader level. This could give you the confidence and cour-
age to move out into the unknown.
However, you may also encounter some problems, especially

in communication with others and in the general tenor of your
mental attitude during this time. If you find yourself unusually
negative, critical or depressed, try to find out what is really
troubling you, rather than taking it out on others or in-
advertently causing difficulties in material affairs because
you are not conscious of your own negativity.

Mistaken impressions
This is likely to be a time of confusion, when you may be un-

certain of what you think and unclear about what you
perceive in the outer world. Fact and fantasy may get badly Neptune square Mercury
mixed up, and you may misinterpret the motives and actions End of April 2019
of those around you as well as exhibiting a curious blindness until mid-February 2022
about your own behaviour. This is not a good time to make
important decisions, especially those which require a clear The same themes are also

also be a bad moment to try to express your point of view in
any definitive way, since your viewpoint is likely to keep
shifting and you may not be sure of what you believe in. Be
particularly careful to avoid important business decisions or prog. Mercury sextile Neptune
transactions involving money, because the likelihood of mis- Beginning of December 2018
interpretations, misunderstandings or even downright until end of March 2020
deception is very high right now. Try to sit tight and explore
what is happening inside you. Although your ability to move
clearly and confidently in the outer world may be somewhat
impaired at the moment, your inner world is likely to be rich
and alive, and your imagination is extremely active. This
could therefore be an excellent time for creative work, and for
involvement in subjects which require intuition and inclusive
thinking rather than hard common sense.
On a deeper level, your attitudes about life are being

challenged by something within you which doesn't want to
deal with reality at all. There is a childlike and romantic ele-
ment now being activated, which prefers life to be a fairy tale.
Such propensities to idealise and fantasise could prove a seri-
ous problem if you are trying to make sense of important
matters in the outer world. You have always had a strong in-
clination to inject reality with the stuff of your own dreams
and fantasies, sometimes creatively and sometimes to your
detriment. You are particularly inclined to do so now. You
may be seeking escape from external pressures at the mo-
ment, and your usual clarity in sifting through and making
connections between diverse ideas may be subtly undermined
by a longing to be exempt from life's challenges. You may
find yourself entertaining the childlike belief that if you
ignore or forget about something, it will go away. Try to be
conscious of any propensity for evasiveness right now, and
don't try to avoid what you do not want to see. If you indulge
in such escapism, you may leave yourself open to exploitation
by others. You may also justify deceiving them as well, even

if you believe you are being perfectly open about what you
are doing. You may encounter people who are dubious or un-
reliable right now, and you are not responsible for them or
their actions. But you are vulnerable to being sucked into
plans and deals which, at saner moments, you would carefully
avoid. If you allow this because of willful blindness, it is in-
deed your responsibility.
Although this period may prove troublesome in external life,

it could prove extremely rich and productive on inner levels.
Try to delay important decisions as much as possible, and
concentrate on what is opening up within you. The child
within may be full of dreams and fantasies of a vivid and
archetypal kind, and if you can translate these into some kind
of creative form you may discover talents and potentials you
didn't know were there. You may find that you are a natural
storyteller, with a gift for writing; or you may find that you
have a deep love of and understanding of music or drama.
This could be an excellent time to explore the arts and find
out what moves you. You are also unusually open to the in-
visible levels of life, and may be drawn to healing and spiritu-
al or psychological exploration. This could prove enormously
creative for the future, deepening your perceptions so that you
are not limited by the confines of material reality. Such con-
tact with hidden dimensions of reality could be the deepest
and most positive meaning of the time. It is up to you
whether you take advantage of it.

4. The spiritual sphere
What gives meaning to any emotional, material or intellectual

challenges and changes you might encounter is your spiritual
life, and here too you may experience certain important
changes in perception and attitude. Such changes may be
subtle and slow to register on your awareness, but they may
profoundly influence the way you experience and interpret
what happens to you over the next year. Never underestimate
the importance of the meaning you assign to events, because
the clearer your vision, the more likely you are to work with
the time in constructive and creative ways. You may experi-
ence a deeper sense of connection to the greater whole of
2018 2019 2020

IôC Neptune square Mercury sr sd »
C]qI prog. Mercury sextile Neptune

jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 32
which you are a part, although such a feeling may not remain
with you all the time. You may also be open to new ideas and
ways of looking at life which make the world seem bigger,
richer, and more meaningful.
Invisible realities
You are likely to be in an otherworldly mood at the moment,

and you may find yourself experiencing deeply mystical feel-
ings, highly coloured fantasies, and even psychic or telepathic Jupiter conjunction Neptune
encounters which make you acutely aware of other, more Mid-February 2019
mysterious levels of reality. You are also likely to be feeling until beginning of November 2019
particularly sympathetic to others, intensely aware of the suf-
fering in the world around you, and inclined to involve
yourself in work which contributes in some way to human
welfare. This period could constitute a kind of revelation, for
your idealism is being activated and your desire to feel part of
a larger unity of life is powerfully alive. You may encounter a
teacher or guru who seems to possess answers you have al-
ways sought but never before found, or you may feel inclined
to join or participate in a particular religious or spiritual path
or movement. You are more able to follow your heart and
your intuition now, and are probably not inclined to apply too
much intellectual questioning to what you experience.
Such exalted and heightened feelings and perceptions can also

lead you into trouble - precisely because they are exalted, and
because you may not be very interested at the moment in
applying the faculties of discrimination and common sense to
the people you encounter or the beliefs you might be drawn
to. A very young, naive and sensitive side of you is being
constellated right now, and you may be seeking a perfect
world in which there is no more pain, suffering, conflict or
greed. These feelings are very beautiful and, on one level,
perfectly valid; but they may also collide seriously with your
own and others' human limits. You might therefore be more
vulnerable to disappointment and disillusionment than at oth-
er times in your life, especially in matters concerning your
professional goals and public reputation. It is not that your
heightened perceptions and intuitions are untrue or wrong.
They may be deeply true, and may give you a profound sense
of unity with all living things, and a renewed feeling of faith
in life and its ultimate goodness. But you may not be inclined
to distinguish between fantasy and reality at the moment, and
consequently you may be gullible and susceptible to others'
2018 2019 2020

sr sd F^mI Jupiter conjunction Neptune
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 33
promise of ultimate truths, unwilling to recognise the ordinary

humanness of a beloved, or resistant to exercising care in
material matters. Because you may feel in touch with higher
realities, you may believe that you no longer have to concern
yourself with lower ones; and the lower ones may turn out to
be quite a problem if you do not keep your feet on the ground.
This is not a time to gamble with time, energy and resources.

You may judge things not as they are, but rather, as how the
child in you hopes they might be in a perfect world. Involve-
ment in humanitarian concerns may be deeply appropriate and
right for you. But make sure you know whom you are dealing
with, and to what purpose your investment of time and sub-
stance is aimed. A new relationship - whether romantic or not
- may provide wonderful experiences of deep emotional and
spiritual communion. But there is no assurance that it will
survive or fulfill you in everyday life - or even that it is what
it appears to be. A teacher or guru may indeed be able to in-
spire you and open your consciousness. But you may need to
integrate these teachings with your own individual values and
experience, rather than opening your soul and your wallet
without question. In short, be careful. This may be a moving
and beautiful time, in which you experience things which re-
main a permanent source of faith and inspiration in your life.
But the magic will not last forever, and you may need to make
sure that you have not allowed important matters to fall into
chaos while you float on a sea of dreams.
However, you may also experience times of doubt and dis-

illusionment, and you may wonder whether what you believe
in is really worth the investment of energy and faith. Such
periods of spiritual depression could, however, prove reward-
ing in the long term, because they may provide valuable in-
sights into unrealistic expectations or too rigid a world-view
or spiritual perspective. If you can reflect on what is happen-
ing, rather than falling into cynicism, the testing times you
experience may ultimately help to shape an enduring faith in
yourself and in life.

The sky is the limit
A time of restlessness and "itchy feet" is likely to occur now,

and you may be conscious of all the potentials you haven't
developed and all the opportunities you have passed by. Jupiter square Jupiter
Although such discontent is neither negative nor entirely un- End of December 2019
founded, nevertheless you may need to carefully review your until mid-January 2020
life over the next weeks to determine whether you really need
to make radical changes. You might need to rethink the ways
in which you function in relationship, and the expectations
you have of others. This may involve a confrontation with
your partner, which you might be wise not to try to avoid.
Although you may be full of intuitions and hunches about
possible future directions, this is probably not the moment for
action and decision-making. It is a time when you can ex-
pand your viewpoint and look at life from a broader perspec-
tive; and this can help you to see where you may have been
too identified with old structures, or too closed in your think-
ing.
Don't be too impulsive right now, however restless you might

feel. You are in a state of flux, and although new ideas and
new visions may emerge, nothing is likely to take clear shape
for a while. Examine those areas where you might need
greener pastures and broader horizons. Travel might be good
for you right now, not just for enjoyment, but also as a way of
getting a new perspective on people and life. Exploration of
ideas and subjects which help to expand your intellectual and
spiritual viewpoint could also prove inspiring. You may feel
very bored with the status quo, and inclined to feel restricted
even if no one is restricting you. This could be because some-
thing in you has grown beyond your previous confines, leav-
ing you feeling as though your life isn't fitting into its usual
container any more. This time is a kind of antechamber, in
which you may need to pause and take seriously the feeling
that there are more chapters unwritten and more paths to ex-
plore. The real time for action may come a few months later.
But seeds for the future are being planted now, in your mind
and imagination, and you should try to be conscious of just
what kind of seeds they are.

5. The sphere of the Inner Self
Deeper and more profound than events occurring in any of

these spheres is the development of the Self, which underpins
everything that happens to us in life. This is the real heart of
the mystery of fate, because if there is truly a destiny at work
in individual life, it lies within, and the astrological configu-
rations only reflect, at any given time, opportunities for this
hidden development pattern. You may only experience
glimpses of this inner pattern at work, through realising that
some experience is vitally necessary even if it is painful. You
may also sometimes sense the purposefulness of what is hap-
pening around and within you, even if you cannot find a
rationale for what you sense. Through particular feelings and
situations which make you grow, you can establish a strong
connection with the inner world, even if your heart is sore or
you are encountering trouble on the mundane level. But this
kind of connection depends on how willing you are to look
inward at the deeper pattern of your life, regardless of how
you are feeling at the time, or toward whom you feel it.
A time of sunshine
Over the next months a strong sense of purpose, and an ability

to express what you feel and value most deeply, are likely to
colour the habitual way in which you interact with others, and prog. Ascendant trine Sun
as a result you can be who you truly are with greater ease and Beginning of July 2019
confidence. A new inner authenticity may give you not only until mid-December 2021
greater personal magnetism but also a greater capacity to
create the kind of environment and lifestyle you have always
wanted. A powerful need to make your mark on the world
through a position of responsibility may make you wish to
reevaluate both your goals and your personal life. This sense
of inner identity and purpose may leave you freer than ever
before to pursue your goals in the world in a manner which
involves no falseness or pretence. At the moment you are
whom you appear to be, and others are likely to respond and
offer you their support because they sense your authenticity,
inner authority and strength. Any new relationship you enter
at the moment is likely to reflect these qualities of authentic-
ity and honesty, and you may discover an enduring friendship
or partnership in which you can truly be yourself. You may
be intensely aware of yourself as a special individual with
something unique to offer, able to define your values and
2018 2019 2020

Q]pA prog. Ascendant trine Sun »
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 36
opinions without needing the approval of the world around

you.
Such inner confidence will not necessarily protect you from

life's challenges, and you may experience conflict of one kind
or another in other spheres of life. But deep inside you are
likely to feel unusually stable and at peace with yourself right
now, and you may have a deeper commitment to making the
most of your abilities and creating something really special
with the talents you were born with. Because of such a will-
ingness to accept who you are and work within the limits life
has set, you can meet challenges in a spirit of optimism and
faith. You are probably not inclined to rely on defences to
protect yourself at the moment, and can therefore bring much
greater honesty and generosity to your dealings with others.
You are probably also not inclined to turn to others for advice
on who to be and which way to go. In fact you may find that
others lean on you at the moment, seeking to benefit from the
strength they sense in you. Because you are likely to follow
your own vision, your creative potentials will not be ham-
pered by others' expectations or your own dependency. Make
the most of this positive and extremely creative time. If you
have any talents or abilities which you feel you have not
valued or developed sufficiently, now is the time to make
something of them. You may be pleasantly surprised by the
ease with which you can express yourself, and by the enthusi-
asm with which anything you create is greeted by the outside
world.
Life can be a struggle
You may feel as though life is a battleground right now.

Although external circumstances may not be all that difficult
when viewed objectively, nevertheless you may experience Pluto square Pluto
every challenge or obstruction as a life-and-death struggle. Beginning of February 2019
Deep survival instincts are being mobilised in you, and you until end of December 2021
may react by attempting to assert control over your environ-
ment in overly emotional and compulsive ways. It is possible
that you will have to relinquish something important to you -
a relationship, a particular social or professional position, an
existing financial situation, or an inner set of attitudes toward
yourself and toward the world. You may be very conscious
of growing older, and you may have to relinquish the fantasy
that your life contains endless possibilities. You might have
to come to terms with your human limits during this time, in
2018 2019 2020

Q]pA prog. Ascendant trine Sun »
JôJ Pluto square Pluto sr sd sr »
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 37
subtle but powerful ways. Certain old patterns, probably in-

herited from your roots and family background, could now
prove unviable, and you may need to learn to interact with
others on a new basis, with less unconscious maneuvring
beneath the surface. Try to look inward, rather than engaging
in battle with people in the outer world. The more insight you
have into yourself, the more you will be able to let go grace-
fully of what is ending, and preserve what is truly your own.
Slowly and inexorably, you may experience a profound

change in your understanding of the mysteries underpinning
the surface of life. This change may not be willing, but
ultimately it is positive, because you can let go of outworn
responses and attitudes which you are now outgrowing. You
may also share this changing world-view with others of your
own age group, who, like you, may unconsciously have per-
ceived the basis of survival as equality and equilibrium in
relationships and society. The world is changing, and you will
have to change with it. Whatever you experience in your per-
sonal life, it is a small piece in a much larger picture of trans-
formation which is occurring all around you. Try to let go of
what needs to pass from your life, and you will be able to
emerge from this time stronger, wiser, and more trusting of
the invisible patterns which underpin your own as well as all
human development.
Power and powerlessness
You may experience intense passion as well as intense frus-

tration during this time. Your will and desire-nature are being
powerfully activated, and you are probably in no mood for Pluto conjunction Mars
compromise. You never really have been, since you have al- Mid-February 2017
ways had a strong will; and you have probably also encoun- until beginning of January 2020
tered conflict with other people on several past occasions,
because it is hard for you to accept restrictions or compro-
mises of any kind. You may be more aware of goals and aspi-
rations than ever before, and you probably have plenty of en-
ergy to pursue what you want. However, so intense is your
determination likely to be that you will inevitably collide with
limits of one kind or another - your own, those of others, or
those inherent in life itself. Because you are feeling unusually
self-willed, this does not mean that clocks will speed up to
accommodate you; nor does it mean that other people will
cease to want things which may be different from your own
desires. For this reason you need to combine intensity and
2018 2019 2020

JôJ Pluto square Pluto sr sd sr »
« sd sr sd J^mE Pluto conjunction Mars
jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 38
determination with a realistic appreciation of how far you can

push others. The danger is that you may try to ride roughshod
over the wishes of those around you, invoking antagonism
and opposition which could waste your energy and engage
you in power-battles which will not help you achieve your
goals.
You may be more aware than ever before of wanting to

achieve independence and recognition in your chosen field of
work. It would probably be appropriate for you to pursue such
needs; you could accomplish a great deal during this time,
because of your newfound energy and determination. But
you need to bear in mind the importance of sensitivity to the
rights of others. If you find yourself the victim of someone
else's anger or opposition, you may need to ask yourself
honestly what you are doing to invoke it - consciously or un-
consciously. It might not be your goals which need changing;
but it may be the manner in which you pursue them. Or you
may have to face the fact that there are elements of darkness
and ruthlessness in every human being, including you; and
this could help you to find the compassion to forgive anyone
whom you feel has behaved toward you in a thoughtless or
insensitive fashion.
If you have been uncomfortable asserting yourself in the past,

you may try to stifle the intense desires which are now surfac-
ing, because you might fear "rocking the boat" and upsetting
others. But suppressing powerful feelings at this time could
prove very destructive. Such feelings, if stifled, will probably
express themselves indirectly, and others may oppose you
without your even realising you are provoking them. Bottled
up resentment could also be a product of repression, and this
could take its toll on you, not only emotionally but physically
as well. Try to be honest about your feelings, but learn to
contain them at the same time. It is likely that you will want
to break down certain restraints or limits in your life, so that
you can have what you want without interference. Such feel-
ings are perfectly normal for the process you are experienc-
ing. But they need to be contained and balanced by sensitiv-
ity to others' feelings, and a willingness to accept compromise
when this is required. Don't get too stubborn, and learn to let
go when the message is clear that you cannot proceed any fur-
ther. If you pit yourself against all limits, you may wind up
defeated and humiliated. If you move forward with determi-
2018 2019 2020

jap2.2019 as.19036.242-1 39
nation, consciousness, and care, you could achieve great

things.
One of the tougher times
This is likely to be one of the bumpier times, when both exter-

nal and internal conditions challenge you to define who you
really are and what you stand for. On the outer level you may Chiron opposition Saturn
experience some frustration, restriction, or disappointment. Beginning of July 2019
On the inner level, your defences are being challenged, and until beginning of March 2022
you may feel particularly vulnerable, inadequate, or de-
pressed. This is not a good time to make grand plans or The same themes are also
gamble with time, money, energy, or emotion. Yet all is not emphasised by:
lost. Although you may feel distinctly "down" for a while, an
important process of change is taking place within you which
could leave you wiser, stronger, and more confident in your
inner resources. Your main difficulty is likely to lie in how Saturn trine Chiron
you respond to the outer events which might trigger a neg- End of December 2018
ative emotional state. While you may not be able to alter until beginning of November 2019
what occurs in your life at this time, you have many choices
in terms of your reactions. Deeper reflection could help you
deal intelligently with any changes, obstacles, or major
decisions which may now face you.
All human beings develop defences against being hurt by life,

and you are no exception. You may secretly be quite self-
protective and defensive in your close relationships. You
may fear rejection or abandonment, and deep down you prob-
ably don't trust others' loyalty. These defences may now be
challenged, and this could trigger many old feelings of
vulnerability and inadequacy which are rooted in your early
life. At the moment you may sometimes think it's all too
much to cope with. Feelings of depression and hopelessness
may accompany deep anger at life's unfair treatment of you.
However, it is possible that your unconscious defences
actually need to be challenged. You may be too rigid in
certain ways, or too closed to life and other people. Although
this may give you the illusion of security, it may also leave
you feeling caged or imprisoned in some way, or unable to
enjoy spontaneous emotional or creative expression. On the
most profound level you may discover that such defences
cannot really protect you from life at all.
Although you may not find this time easy, try to bow grace-
fully to the inevitable. If you are hurt, don't be ashamed to

turn to others for support, so that you can experience the

transformative and healing power of human comfort and em-
pathy. Your pride might be badly injured right now. But
pride may not be of much use to you at the moment, and you
might be wiser to let yourself be human and allow others to
offer comfort and understanding. You may intensely aware
of those areas of life in which you have always felt vulnerable
or inadequate in some way. Facing these honestly, without
self-blame, could help you to take a more objective and less
self-denigrating view of your own failings. You may need to
learn to accept your limitations as a perfectly natural aspect of
being human. Try not to meet whatever winds are blowing
your way with too much stiff resistance. It is better to bend
than to break, and if you fight too hard against circumstances
right now, you may come away feeling defeated and under-
mined. Try to consolidate what you have, materially, emo-
tionally, and spiritually. But recognise what you must let go
of, and relinquish it as gracefully as possible. Your defences
are not wrong or pathological; they are necessary and human.
But they may need to be more flexible, so that you can allow
life to flow in.
Coping with the fidgets
You are likely to be feeling rather fidgety and discontented at

the moment, especially with yourself. You are probably long-
ing for change, particularly in your lifestyle and image, and Jupiter square Ascendant
you may find your immediate environment stale or restrictive. End of February 2019
But it is likely that you aren't very clear about just what kind until mid-November 2019
of change you need. You may be behaving in an unusually
muddled and confused manner which surprises you as much
as anyone else. Athough you no doubt want badly to express
who you are and have others acknowledge and appreciate it,
you may inadvertently be doing it in an uneven and some-
times exaggerated way. It is likely that you need to have a
close, hard look at your lifestyle and personal image at the
moment, to see whether it is the right time to alter or even
radically transform your appearance, dress, and general man-
ner toward others. You may also need to examine your inter-
action with those close to you, particularly your partner, to
see whether you might be expecting too much, or projecting
onto others qualities which in fact secretly belong to you.
Such reflection is essential if you wish to avoid stepping on
others' toes and intend to thrash around trying to discover how
best to be yourself. Probably you are living within the limits

of a role and image which have grown too tight for you, and
you may need to be a little more adventurous and more con-
fident in your own potentials. But first try to define what this
role is, and why you have adapted it, before you make
decisions which might be too impulsive or reactive.
You may also experience considerable discontent in your per-

sonal life. Relationships which previously seemed satisfying
may now seem restrictive or lacking in vitality, and you may
find yourself resentful because you feel your partner isn't as
exciting as you might wish. Or you may experience your
partner displaying such an attitude toward you - perhaps
because you have been denying your own need for change
and excitement and have become overly restrictive yourself.
Either way, this is not a good time to go rushing off because
you are feeling antsy. You probably won't feel that way for
long, and you could damage or even destroy valid relation-
ships which, while perhaps needing change, may be very ful-
filling in the long term. Try to see where your own attitudes
and expectations of others may be making your life boring or
constrained. It is not up to your partner to provide you with
inspiration; it is up to you. The more you are able to express
the restless spirit of the time in constructive ways, the more
likely you will be to experience a renewal of magic in those
bonds which are valid. And if you do need to move on, you
might be wiser to do so after sound reflection, and with a
minimum of clumsiness or insensitivity.

CONCLUSION
The Greek philosopher Herakleitos once wrote that nothing is

permanent except change. The human psyche is always in a
process of change and unfoldment, and the planetary configu-
rations which reflect your pattern of development over the
next year will change to new configurations which reflect new
patterns over the years to come. When we miss opportunities,
they usually come back again in a different form and on a dif-
ferent level, because life not only changes but moves in
cycles, reflected by the planetary cycles in the heavens. What-

ever "fate" might be, it is not a rigid design which denies us

freedom to choose, grow, make mistakes, re-choose, and grow
again.
Each of the sections given above describes planetary patterns

which, at core, will be shared at some time and in some way
by other human beings. What we experience is not as unique
as we might think; we all go through joy, pain, good fortune,
loss, loneliness, togetherness, light and darkness, and we all
have certain needs and drives in common. But the timing and
distinctive expression of your constantly changing growth
pattern is unique to you, and so too are the individual heart,
mind, body and spirit which experience that pattern. What-
ever might occur in your outer life over the next year, finding
meaning in it, and connecting that meaning with who you are
and what you really seek in life, can unlock previously un-
suspected funds of energy and creativity, and can give you a
greater range of choices in the future. We are taught as chil-
dren to "use time wisely". What does this mean? Perhaps the
most profound meaning is that time has qualities, and each
moment of time has a special meaning for us as individuals.
And understanding and working with these qualities and
meaning can transform how we experience the circumstances
of our lives.

Technical Information
In order to create this analysis, the following astrological factors have been examined:
- major progressed aspects (conjunction, opposition, square, trine, sextile) of the Sun, Moon,
Ascendant, MC, Mercury, Venus and Mars to natal planets and angles.
- major aspects ( conjunction, opposition, square, trine, sextile) of transiting Pluto, Neptune, Uranus,
Chiron, Saturn, and Jupiter to both natal and progressed planets and angles.
- conjunctions and oppositions of transiting Mars to both natal and progressed planets and angles.
- aspects between progressed planets, especially progressed new and full Moons.
Special importance is given to stations of transiting planets close to natal planets and angles. Im-
portance has been given not only to the nature of the specific progressed or transiting planet and
aspect, but also to natal configurations which echo the progressed and transiting aspects, to house
positions of natal, transiting and progressed planets, and to the overall balance of elements and con-
figurations in the birth chart. Internally the results of the Psychological Horoscope Analysis are used
for the evaluation of each chart.
Because the importance of any transit or progressed aspect is not limited only to the time of the pre-
cise aspect, but extends for some time before and after, orbs of aspect have been used. These recog-
nise the buildup and gradual diminishing of the energy of a particular planetary movement. Con-
sequently some configurations are described which may not reach exact aspect until the following
year, but which are already beginning to show their effects, or which have already made an exact
aspect in the previous year.
The report which results from these considerations is assembled from selected interpretation text
sections. Not all transits or progressions which occur during a year are included in the printed report,
only those selected by Liz Greene's model of interpretation. As in all works by Liz Greene the Plac-
idus house system is used.
The transit graphics
The timing of the transits and progressions within the focus period of this report is visually
represented by 'transit bars'. They are printed in the graphical overview on page 4 and on the bottom
of each page where the interpretation of a transit or progression is given.
A transit bar begins at the moment when a moving planet enters for the first time into the orb of a
natal planet, and it ends when the moving planet finally leaves the orb and doe not return into it (un-
til the next full cycle). When the planet is in orb, the bar is reprsented by a full line. A planet can
leave the orb and return later into the orb. During this time the bar is represented by a dotted line. A
planet can change its direction of movement; when it becomes retrograde, this time is marked with
'sr' for stationary retrograde. When it becomes direct again, the time is marked with 'sd' for sta-
tionary direct. The moment when a transit (or progression) becomes exact is marked with a little ' on
top of the transit bar.

The Month Table (page 5)
Some entries in the month overview table are marked with (2). Please check the sidebar of the in-
dicated page carefully. The mark (2) indicates that in the given month it is not the primary transit
which is activating an issue but one of the secondary transits or progressions listed below the
primary event in the sidebar.
