Your Personal Horoscope 2019. Joseph Polansky

been dealing with death and death issues. In some cases it was literal death. In other cases, only encounters with it. The dark angel has been hovering around you, letting you know that he’s around. These trends continue in the year ahead. You can cooperate with this energy in a positive way by getting involved in personal transformation and re-invention. This is a form of death and will satisfy the angel. It is not physical death but a kind of psychological death – we die to our old selves.

      Neptune, your career planet, has been in your 10th house of career for many years now, and he remains there for many more. This shows a need – an urge – for a spiritual-type career – something that is idealistic. More on this later.

      There is another interesting observation about the year ahead. The upper half of your Horoscope – the day side – contains all the long-term planets. This means that the lower side of the Horoscope will never dominate this year. There will be times when it is relatively stronger than usual (and we will discuss this in the monthly reports), but it will never dominate. Thus in general 2019 is a more career-oriented kind of year. Insomnia could be a problem for some people.

      Your most important interests in the year ahead will be love and romance (until December 3); sex, life and death issues, personal transformation and reinvention; career; friends, groups and group activities (until March 7); and spirituality (from March 7 onwards).

      Your paths of greatest fulfilment this year are finance; love and romance (until December 3); and sex, death and death issues, personal transformation and reinvention.

      Health

       (Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. In days of yore there was no difference, both of these perspectives were identical. But now there could be quite a difference. For a medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health practitioner.)

      Health should be good this year. There are only two long-term planets – Jupiter and Neptune – in stressful alignment with you, which is a big improvement over previous years. And by the end of the year, as Jupiter moves into Capricorn in December, there will be only one long-term planet stressing you. There is much improvement happening in health and energy. Furthermore, your empty 6th house indicates that you’re not that focused on health, which I read as a good sign. You have no need to concentrate on it – health is basically good.

      Sure, there will be periods in the year where health is less easy than usual, and we will discuss this in the monthly reports, but these are temporary things caused by short-term transits. They are not trends for the year.

      You can make your good health even better. Pay attention to the following – the vulnerable areas of your Horoscope (the reflexology points are shown in the chart above):

      Important foot reflexology points for the year ahead

      Try to massage all of the foot on a regular basis – the top of the foot as well as the bottom – but pay extra attention to the points highlighted on the chart. When you massage, be aware of ‘sore spots’ as these need special attention. It’s also a good idea to massage the ankles, and especially below them.

       The lungs, arms, shoulders and respiratory system. These are always important areas for you, Gemini. Regular arm and shoulder massage should be an integral part of your health regime. Tension tends to collect in the shoulders and needs to be released.

       The colon, bladder and sexual organs are also always important. There are some spiritual healers who say that all disease begins in the colon, so keeping it healthy is a very good idea. Herbal colonics would be good if you feel under the weather. Safe sex and sexual moderation are always important for you.

       The spine, knees, teeth, skin and overall skeletal alignment have become important in recent years, ever since Pluto, your health planet, moved into Capricorn, and this has been reinforced by Saturn (the planet that rules these areas) travelling with Pluto since last year. So regular back and knee massage is good. If you’re out in the sun use a good sunscreen. Get regular dental check-ups. Give the knees more support when you exercise.

       The gall bladder, which has only become important in recent years.

      Your health planet Pluto rules surgery generically, and has been in your 8th house of surgery for many years now. Not only that, the planet that actually rules surgery in your chart – Saturn – is also there, travelling next to Pluto. So you have probably had some surgery in recent years. There is a strong tendency to it, and it will probably be recommended to you. Sometimes these things are necessary. But it is good to explore detox regimes too – these same planets signal that you respond well to them. In many cases detox will do the same thing, but it will take longer.

      Your health planet in the conservative sign of Capricorn shows that in health matters you’re conservative. You gravitate to orthodox medicine. And, even if you opt for alternative therapies, you tend to choose old and established therapies – the ones that have stood the test of time.

      Saturn and Pluto both rule sex in your Horoscope. (Pluto is the generic ruler; Saturn is your actual ruler.) The presence of both in the sign of Capricorn, your 8th house, suggests a need to reduce extraneous sex – to focus more on quality rather than quantity. Less but of a higher quality is preferable to more of lesser quality. If you stay alert to your body you will know when enough is enough.

      Home and Family

      Though it is not generally known, home and family are always important to Gemini. They’re not really famous for this. They’re more famous for their brilliant minds and communication skills. Keep in mind that the ruler of their Horoscope, a very important planet, is also the family planet – the ruler of the 4th house.

      Important though home and family are, this year they are less so than usual. The 4th house is not a house of power – love and career are much more of a focus. As our regular readers know, this tends to the status quo. You seem more or less content with things as they are and have no need to make major changes.

      But this aspect can also show other things. If family problems arise (God forbid) it’s probably due to lack of attention. To correct the issues, you’ll have to pay more attention.

      A parent or parent figure is likely to move or renovate the existing home in the coming year. There can also be the fortunate sale or purchase of a home. It looks happy. If this parent figure is of childbearing age, she is more fertile than usual. The other parent figure needs to be more careful about alcohol and drugs. The body is more sensitive than usual – it is becoming more spiritualized – and could overreact to these things. One of the parents or parent figures will benefit from spiritual-healing techniques this year, particularly from March 7 onwards. He or she should read as much as possible on this subject.

      Children or children figures in your life seem involved in major repairs in the home. A move could happen late in the year – from December 3 onwards. This, though, seems stressful and complicated and there could be many delays.

      Siblings and sibling figures are having a quiet, stable kind of year. There’s nothing against a move, but nothing especially supporting one either; 2020 seems better for a move than this year. Siblings and sibling figures have many job opportunities all year, and especially after December 3.

      Grandchildren (if you have them) can have many moves this year. They seem unsettled – nomadic. This trend will continue for many more years.

      If you’re planning major repairs or construction work to the home (or of a home), August 13 to October 4 is a good time. If you’re redecorating or planning minor repairs, or buying art objects for the home, August 21 to September 14 is a good time.

      The family finances seem stable and more or less the way they were last year. The finances of one of the parents or parent figures in your life will start to stabilize this year after being erratic for many years.
