Remember last year when every possible planet was in retrograde and it seemed like when it wasn’t dreary, it was a time to pause and reflect? Well, 2019 is gearing up to be a completely different story, at least at the beginning anyway. Our spiritual contributor Shawn {of Witchy Wisdoms} tells us what’s in store for the new year.

Currently, all planets are stationed direct, which means 2019 is off to a great start. When the planets are in direct motion, they are doing exactly what they are supposed to do {cue Mercury not messing up any technology, at least until March 5th!}.
But let’s take a minute to talk about Venus.
Venus governs love, money, and pleasure and last year, Venus was retrograde in Scorpio, the sign of death, sex, and taxes {talk about opposites}. The influence of that came across as a big shake-up romantically and fiscally. We reflected on how deep and loyal our partnerships actually were, and how our relationship with money affected us. Scorpio lives in the shadow and goes very deep, so by coupling that energy with the reflective nature of a retrograde, a lot of folks became pretty uncomfortable, and made some big changes.
The 9th Sign of the Zodiac: Sagittarius
Venus then went directly into Scorpio at the beginning of December, which caused an action on the feelings that the retrograde brought us. Now, however, Venus has moved into the ninth sign of the zodiac, the Archer, Sagittarius.
Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign, which means they love action, adventure, and change. As the travelers of the zodiac, Sagittarians are known to make big moves and shoot straight. So what does this mean for Venus?
What It All Means
Venus, the sweet, charming, and irresistible goddess that she is, would rather chill than “make moves,” but when Sagittarian energy is brought into the realm of love and money, we’re getting sh*t done.
While Venus is in Sagittarius, you can expect that you don’t have time for BS – you will be fun, flirty, outgoing, and ready to take some risks. This is a prime time to get off of your dating app and go meet someone new or try something different.
If you’re in a relationship, now is the time to go on an adventure together. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, so it’s time to look at the big picture of your future together. Go on a trip, or flex your daredevil muscles and do something on your bucket list.
In terms of money, Sagittarius is not afraid to dream big. Take this time to map out your financial goals and shoot that arrow straight for them. This is your year to conquer, and Venus being in Sagittarius means it’s ready to make that happen.
