It’s time to put energy into your career and finances and begin getting ahead. Even tough you’re in a comfort zone with your job, you can advance in 2019.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20) You might feel like putting your travel plans on hold until next year. You may be very busy with your workload during the holiday season. Avoid feeling that you need to solve every family crisis and just be a good listener. The new Moon in Capricorn brings a promotion.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 21) Your life picks up speed especially in the financial area, since the planet Jupiter moved into personal income zone in November. There are many decisions about increasing your net-worth through property and investing over the next year. Seek monetary advice and diversify.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22) Family and domestic matters take center stage. If you’ve been carrying the financial weight for children and siblings, you may begin to taper off and stop feeling obligated. Home repairs may need to be finished before the new year. A creative idea for a new business is temporarily stalled.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 19) You are coming out of a very difficult cycle, but there’s no time to skip a beat. You are on the fast track with work and career. You will keep your options open regarding work with travel or being a district manager. Travel plans keep popping up but look better in March.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) Your mental powers get a boost from the Cosmos right now, allowing you to meet peers who share the same views. This is a time of networking and connections, where you might enter partnerships that include, publishing, health or education. Your vision begins taking shape.
