The two planets that are going to influence us the most during the coming year, 2019, are Jupiter and Saturn. These two planets are going to get closer and closer to one another during 2019, and yet – each of them will affect us in a totally different way. Saturn will bring forth challenges to do with communication, education, freedom and movement, and Jupiter will exhilarate processes of changes that were long due.
The coming challenges:
In 2019 Saturn, Lord of Karma, will take its place in the Realm of Flexibility and on the astrological “Line of Teaching”. At the other end of this line, around February 2019, the True Node will take its position. This opposition between Saturn, the lord of Karma, and the True Node which mark the place of breaking through Karmic boundaries, hints that in our personal lives we will need to find the right balance between speech and silence, learning and teaching, sharing and containment.
On the global scale Saturn’s and the True Node’s positions hint of coming challenges to do with communication, education, traveling and freedom itself.
Communication: Sadly, we might expect freedom of speech to be limited in more and more places in the world. We will probably see more rigidness and set limits, preventing ideas from being freely expressed.
Education: Saturn’s rigidness and challenges will not skip the territory of education. It seems that in all sorts of ways education will become a challenge and an issue, more than before, during the coming year. We might see countries regressing towards more traditional and/or rigid ways of teaching, and on the other side, more and more people having trouble with these educational systems.
Movement and Freedom: Saturn will challenge issues of movement and freedom itself. We might see that travelling from place to place might be more difficult in the coming year. Countries might close borders that were once open.
The Bright Side, and Solutions:
As we saw, 2019 is going to be a challenging year, but on the wider scope we need to see that the challenges and obstacles, as harsh as they may seem, are there to eventually enlighten us, to bring things that were wrong for a while to the extreme, so that forward-looking changes may appear.
The bright side of the horoscope comes from Jupiter’s position in 2019. Jupiter is the planet of luck, success and new beginnings. As doors get shut by Saturn, and as challenges appear, Jupiter will point us on the way to new solutions. New gateways will appear.
Jupiter will spend 2019 in the astrological Realm of the Gate, and from there it will lead us to brand new solutions and opportunities. Jupiter is telling us not to settle for the status-quo. . It encourages us to go forward, and find new pathways. Jupiter will push forward the coming of the new level, the new platform, that we need to arrive to; a platform which is long over- due.
On the personal scale Jupiter allows us to get through barriers and to reach brand new territories. It would ask from us to leave behind old and familiar difficulties, as we approach and embrace a new way of thinking and perceiving things. It will also help us get to a new platform much faster than we thought possible.
On the global scale, Jupiter’s location suggests that the ways of the past will not bring progress with them, and that instead of fighting the past we, as people, as the human race, need to start thinking of NEW WAYS. More and more people around the globe will see that old patterns, of all sorts, do not hold any more. The extreme situations now in education, communication and freedom will pressure the world to come to brand new solutions, and the release of inventions and ways that are already out there, but not yet actualized or as yet well-known..
We will most likely see many new inventions taking form and becoming popular quickly. New technologies and systems to do with education, traveling and the use of new kinds of energy will appear. Things that were at the embryonic stage for a long while, will finally be born and go viral.
It seems that 2019 will bring with it many challenges, but as in true labor, with the pressure and the difficulty and the extreme, there will be new things that will rush out to arrive in the void.
As always, we, each and every one of us, has a part to play in this great birth that will take place. By saying NO to the old and limiting patterns of the past, and searching for the new ways, even in the very little things of our daily lives, we are enabling the arrival of new ways into this world. And hopefully we will see the world overcoming the challenges, and moving onto a new platform. Or at least the beginning of one…
