January 2019 Monthly Horoscopes – Summaries
Aries
January 2019 Monthly Horoscope Summary for Aries: Dear Aries, you begin the year with your own planetary ruler, Mars, freshly in your sign — in fine form, in other words! Jupiter is in full support, and Venus joins the lucky planet from the 7th. All in all, it’s a time for more courage and adventurousness after many months of some hesitation. You’re confident and enthusiastic greeting the new year. The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st can be highly romantic or emotionally enlightening as you acknowledge and embrace your true feelings on a matter. Issues about love, joy, a passion project, creative pursuit, or children can be at the forefront now. You’re especially fertile. This is also a fine month for learning and pleasurable pursuits that are a little more exotic than you’re accustomed to.
Jupiter is a rather new guest in your adventure sector — just taking off — and Venus enters this same sector just a week into the New Year, officially meeting Jupiter on the 22nd and harmonizing with Mars in your sign on the 18th. These are beautiful configurations for adventure, romance, publishing, creativity, and personal appeal. Seeking out new experiences, particularly ones that educate you, can be in focus now. Self-promotional efforts can be successful.
Still, the month features a Solar Eclipse at the top of your solar chart, pointing to critical new beginnings related to your career, social standing, reputation, responsibilities, and performance, and you’ll find that you’re going hard in both professional and personal arenas. This is likely to be the case in a general sense for most of 2019.
The chance to find a better balance between material and spiritual focus runs very high in January as Saturn and Neptune form a harmonious aspect. This is a longer-term influence that will stick around until November, and it’s just beginning to work its magic this month.
Taurus
January 2019 Monthly Horoscope Summary for Taurus: While you’re coming out of your shell and venturing out more frequently in January, dear Taurus, your feelings are running more deeply and your intimate world is richer and more profound. Venus moves into your solar eighth house where it will connect with Jupiter, and private time is special in January. Mars spends the whole month (and the first half of February as well) in your privacy sector, suggesting an essential time for repose and rest. On a psychological level, you’re inclined to reevaluate current pursuits and satisfaction levels with this Mars transit. By the time Mars enters your sign in mid-February, you’ll be clearer about what you want and how to go about getting it! Until then, get to know yourself better and explore your options.
There can be a feel-good rush that comes from coming to someone’s aid this month. Connections between Venus, Mars, and Jupiter improve your relationships and stimulate your creativity. Look for opportunities to express yourself from behind the scenes. You feel more supported and more genuinely confident now. This can be a great month for intimacy or taking action on a private matter.
The Solar Eclipse on the 5th pushes your need for refreshment. Opportunities to break the routine or get away can arise now and in the coming months. This energy might also (or alternatively) be about learning, sharing ideas, publishing, studying, or promoting. Something that connects you with a new, different, or broader audience or with different ideas and cultures can be in focus now, and it’s gratifying. A change of scene can be beneficial now.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st, on the other hand, is about home and family. There can be a nice release from an obligation or final word on a matter that helps clarify your next step. January is strong for your personal life, in general, as well as for financial support, loans, and the like. This can also be a time when a long-term friendship is forming through networks, studies, or long distances as Saturn and Neptune connect in an aspect that will influence you all the way until November.
Gemini
January 2019 Monthly Horoscope Summary for Gemini: This can be a month in which you’re pulling back a little, strategizing, observing, and researching your options, dear Gemini. Your personal life is heating up. Even so, Venus moves into your partnership sector, where it meets up with Jupiter, and it’s a time when you may not only seek out some company, you’re likely to benefit significantly from it. Reinforcing this is Mars charging through your social sector, stirring up your desire to connect with others or to a special cause. At the same time, it’s likely to stir up problem areas that may have been brewing under the surface with friends or networks.
Events or epiphanies around the Lunar Eclipse on the 21st call your attention to communications, studies, means of transportation, mobility, siblings, personal interests, and making connections. This comes at a time when you receive a call for adventure, and it can be an especially busy period of deadlines, errands, and varied activities. Your ideas or work can receive special attention now. The 23-25 is powerful for your relationships, new enterprise, and personal enjoyment and confidence. People in your life are providing wonderful motivation and encouragement now. It’s about the broader vision emerging and a nice feeling of confidence taking over, and it’s one of your best times for capitalizing on opportunities.
A Saturn-Neptune aspect that will stick with us for most of 2019 forms in January, and it’s an incredible influence for career or life path support and direction.

With a Saturn-Neptune aspect that influences most of 2019 and begins this month, this can be a good period for balancing your life in crucial ways, particularly as you are less inclined to allow relationships to consume most of your attention and you spend more of your energy on worthwhile pursuits. Relationship goals may very well inspire you to round out your life with rewarding hobbies or other satisfying activities. It’s a strong time for bringing a little more structure to your life, especially in your creative world or in your romantic life. Taking your “play” time more seriously can be especially beneficial now.
Mars has just moved into your intimacy sector, and this transit can serve to ignite your passions for a particular pursuit. You’re taking a matter more seriously, and you’re excited to pour your energies into something you love. In fact, without something substantial and absorbing, you may feel a little restless. Working behind the scenes can be useful and attractive now. You can feel especially confident about taking care of lingering problems and putting them behind you.
Venus heads into your home and family sector on the 7th, finding good company in Jupiter, already a guest there. January promises to be a particularly strong month for your emotional life, inner world, and domestic pursuits. You’re seeking more warmth, beauty, enjoyment, balance, and peace in your personal life and on the home front now. In fact, you’re actively creating this atmosphere, and it feels good to do so.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st reminds you of the importance of rest, replenishment, and reflection. Your body may be giving you a strong message to rest. Allowing yourself some time for stillness, rest, and rejuvenation can do wonders for you now. This can also be a time of an important idea, hunch, or intuitive flash that sets you on a new, more fulfilling path. Your true feelings about a matter can emerge now, and they’re unmistakable! You do enter a rather busy cycle around the same time of this eclipse, and of course, this requires some juggling and balancing, but you’ll find it easier than usual to arrive at that sweet spot with current cosmic support.
Libra
January 2019 Monthly Horoscope Summary for Libra: You usually begin the year with a stronger focus on family and home matters than other life departments, dear Libra, and 2019 is no exception. In fact, the Solar Eclipse on the 5th is about new beginnings and happenings along these lines. Even so, the month holds much promise of social activity and focus on personal interests, making connections, intellectual stimulation, and relationships.
For one, Mars begins its transit of your partnership sector, animating your relationships or stirring up strong feelings for someone in particular. Venus moves into your communications sector on the 7th, and as your planetary ruler, suggests where your heart is. Sharing your ideas and making connections can be in pleasant focus. Jupiter is a relatively new guest in this area of your chart, and as Venus, Mars, and Jupiter connect in lovely ways in January, you’re likely to enjoy some lively, stimulating, and creative connections, not only with people (or more likely, a special someone) but with projects, ideas, and pursuits you find wonderfully fulfilling. Relationships improve, build, and elevate in January.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st echoes these fun themes, occurring in your social sector and pushing your true feelings about a person or project to the surface. Your passions and affections are hard to dismiss at this time! Your next step or the right path to follow becomes quite clear as a result. This can be a time of a sweet release, epiphany, or turning point.
You also benefit from a Saturn-Neptune transit that forms this month, but that will stick around with you all the way until November. This aspect points to the strong potential for your work and home life combining in both magical and practical ways. Your dreams are big, but you’re keeping your feet on the ground. Home, family, work, and health matters all benefit from a more balanced approach. Your routines improve as you pay attention to your material and spiritual needs rather than prioritizing one over the other.
Scorpio
January 2019 Monthly Horoscope Summary: January is excellent for focusing on building and developing current projects, ideas, and personal talents, dear Scorpio. You begin the year with Mars newly transiting your work and health sector, and this is an especially motivating influence for taking care of your daily affairs with more confidence, courage, energy, and initiative. You want to be on top of things! You may be feeling a little competitive, and it’s of the motivating, pleasant variety. Allow this energy to fuel you to take care of matters that truly need your attention, even if they are not exceptionally glamorous. It’s a wonderful month for doing the type of work that powers your life in crucial ways, but that may be going on behind the scenes. You’re not afraid to get your hands dirty in the process, and you can accomplish much.
There are two eclipses in January, and the Solar Eclipse on the 5th occurs in your communications sector. Your interests are expanding, and you may feel ready to push a project or line of study forward. It’s a fine time for turning over a new leaf regarding making connections or honing your skills. The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st relates to a career or reputation matter that is now turning a corner. The realizations you experience now help you make a decision that you may have toyed with for some time. While your emotions may feel too strong at the time of the eclipse, as you process them in the week following, you’re likely to gain tremendous clarity about the right path for you.
Saturn and Neptune form a harmonious aspect now, and this longer-term influence will continue to support you until November, benefiting your communications, relationships, self-expression, and creative pursuits. You’re communicating and connecting in inspired but also very practical, useful ways. You’re finding it easier to balance out your hard work with imaginative pursuits now, and this helps round out your relationships and daily life.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope for January 2019: January is a wonderful month for taking charge of your practical affairs, dear Sagittarius, but it’s also quite excellent for your personal life, confidence levels, and romantic world. Venus joins your sign on the 7th and meets with Jupiter on the 22nd, encouraging your sense of fun and personal appeal. You begin the month (and the year) with Mars newly in your romance and creativity sector, boosting your confidence and stimulating your desire to enjoy and express yourself more fully.
A Mars-Jupiter trine is enterprising and creative – it’s a potentially wonderful time for winning a competition or trying your hand at a new endeavor. Romantic attention is likely. Creative and romantic matters strengthen, your charm is hearty, and your ability to gain others’ confidence is powerful. Think big, share your affections liberally, and bask in the glow of positive feedback!
The chance for a new beginning or commitment to a money goal arrives with a Solar Eclipse on the 5th. The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st can bring to light a matter of spirit, adventure, or learning. There can be the fruition of a major project, something published, or a turning point reached in your studies. Epiphanies can be significant enough to change your perspective or even your life path. Announcements, awards, or completed projects can generate quite a bit of attention.
A Saturn-Neptune aspect forms this month and will stick with you until November, helping to ground you. You may be focusing on savings or simplifying and decluttering, which helps boost your home and family life. This influence helps ensure you take care of both your practical and spiritual needs.
Capricorn
January 2019 Monthly Horoscope for Capricorn: With a Solar Eclipse in your sign this year, dear Capricorn, you begin 2019 with a clean slate and fresh energy for reinvention. The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st, though, is more about financial, ownership, and intimate matters and can involve a sweet release, perhaps of an obligation. Resolution of a problem can feel freeing now. Love and partnership can be in some level of flux this year as you are redefining yourself and exploring your independence. These themes are strong in January.
The month begins with Mars at the bottom of your solar chart and special attention to your heart and home. Jupiter is in your privacy sector, too, reinforcing the personal, private, and inward focus that often dominates January’s energies. Projects on (or in) the home can be satisfying. Excess energy is best channeled into constructive projects and improvements. Otherwise, there can be some tension. Mind you, if problems have been brewing in your personal life or with family, they may need some airing now, and Mars here has a beautiful way of pulling everything up and out into the open. It might feel disruptive in the moment but can help clear the decks.
Mercury finally enters your sign on the 4th after a lengthy hiatus (for quick-moving Mercury) in your privacy sector, and you find your voice, wanting to be heard or to share your thoughts. Venus heads into your solar twelfth house on the 7th, however, and there is more rumination to do and possible hesitation regarding your feelings. This is healthy and natural as Venus closes out a cycle and you prepare for a new one in February when Venus enters your sign. A secret or private relationship can be in focus for some of you this month. A Saturn-Neptune sextile forms at the tail-end of the month, and it’s an especially beneficial influence that will stick with you until November, helping you find inspiration, particularly in your studies, personal interests, and communications.
Aquarius
Aquarius Monthly Horoscope Summary for January 2019: January is mostly a month of repose for you, dear Aquarius, but offers up some nice opportunities to connect and enjoy yourself as you unwind. The Lunar Eclipse on January 21st is personal to you as it’s the final eclipse in a set that has been occurring in both your sign and your opposite sign. This can serve as a cosmic nudge towards change in a relationship or a final decision about a matter. A friendship may blossom now. You’re magnetic, interesting, and attractive – even more so than usual. It’s a time for gaining some attention.
Until then, you may be a little more private or insular than usual. It’s a natural time of year for some retreat, withdrawal, or a sabbatical — emotional and physical renewal before your birthday month. For many of you, this is likely to be symbolic only but important as you recharge and refresh. Some things may be up in the air now, and these things need additional time to mature. It’s not the time to rush.
Even so, the month (and year) begins with Mars entering your communications sector, and you can be raring to go on some levels, likely with personal interests, projects, or studies. The motivation to learn or express yourself is strong. Do watch for impatient moves and words.
As well, Venus enters your social sector where Jupiter is already transiting, and connections with friends or networks can be sweet and satisfying. Venus-Mars-Jupiter keeps you engaged, creative, popular, and curious despite the private theme in January. This focus on both personal renewal and your social life, in fact, is quite representative of the presiding themes of the entire year of 2019. You’re expected to fully enjoy your downtime and social life in the period ahead.
Pisces
Pisces January 2019 Monthly Horoscope Summary: January is potentially busy and rewarding, dear Pisces, and you can be quite focused on matters outside of yourself — your social life, work, and business. You begin the year with Mars having just moved out of your sign and into your resources sector. This pulls the focus off personality development and onto money-making or building and developing stages of a project. It’s a good time for innovative ideas and actions. You’re a self-starter at this time of the year.
At the same time, you enjoy Jupiter at the top of your solar chart and its pleasant prompts to shoot for your goals and challenge yourself to accomplish a little more than usual. You’re happily ambitious this month and the next. Venus helps out from the 7th, boosting your reputation and your enjoyment of your duties as it moves to the top of your chart, joining lucky Jupiter there. It’s a fine month for exploring your passions, especially in the material world, and for gaining the support or approval of others, particularly higher-ups.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 21st is powerful for a culmination related to work or health that has been in the pipeline for a couple of years. There can be a nice release or final word on a matter. This happens just when a cycle of increased attention to your emotional world begins, which nudges you towards finding just the right work-rest balance. The focus should be on both physical and mental health, and this becomes especially obvious if you’ve been prioritizing either one over the other.
A Saturn-Neptune aspect forms in January and begins its magic, helping to ground and direct you. This bolstering influence will stick with you until November, and you’re likely to find a fine anchor in a friendship, group association, or cherished dream or cause.
