2019
Aries: you’re about to find yourself. it’s about to be hard, scary, and it almost might seem unbearable. you’re going to reach new highs that you’ve never thought you would, and maybe some new lows that will rock you. but, you’re about to find positivity within all the moments that you have. you’re about to understand yourself and your limits more than ever. you’re going to realize that all the strength you’ve ever needed was always inside of you. all of it was fucking worth it, you’re going to feel all of this.
Taurus: you are going to be in a huge transition period this year. you’re going to find immense change in your own world. it might scare you to your core, but it’s exactly what you needed. new things and new people and a new life. most of all, a totally new perspective. you’re going to open your eyes to so many things and you’re going to realize that things weren’t what you always thought they were… they’re better.
Gemini: you are about to feel free. you’re about to go through a year of letting go. you’re going to let go of people who caused you pain in the past, you’re going to let go of shit that messed you up. you’re going to realize that moving forward is the best thing you can do for yourself. you’ll find things that you enjoy doing again this year. you are going to get out of that fog, but don’t completely cross out what brought you here. it’s still a part of you.
Cancer: what a curse it is, to feel so very deeply. oh, but it is also a blessing. this year is going to give you many awakenings. you’re going to use your empathy to your advantage, you’re going to make a change in many peoples lives. seeing someone so authentic like you, gives other people hope that they can open up too, just like you. you’re going to use the things you find the most unappealing about yourself to help other people. it may seem small to you when it happens, but it’s huge. this, for you, is going to be very fulfilling. don’t forget yourself in the process, but remember that what you’re doing is important.
Leo: in 2018, you were lost. you might’ve hit your breaking point and you might’ve thought there was nothing left in you. however, you were just getting started. this year, you will find your fire again. you’ll stand up taller than you ever have and you’ll roar louder than ever. this year, you’re going to learn that you are stronger than you ever believed yourself to be. you’re going to find your confidence again, you’re going to take on this life thing on your own and make it your absolute bitch. the people who left, don’t matter. you’re not going to let them affect you any longer. you’re going to figure out who was always meant to be by your side.
Virgo: this year, positivity is going to be your best friend. you’re so used to things going wrong or not going your way, that you’ve conditioned yourself to think about the worst possible outcomes. but, what if thinking differently was actually the key to everything? you have the power to change your own mindset, and this year, whether you believe it or not, it’s going to happen. you’re going to be so caught up in living life and being busy that suddenly you’ll realize that you aren’t so afraid of being happy anymore. you will flourish, you will get the things you want. all you have to do is keep on believing.
Libra: your worth is greater and bigger than what you think. this year, you’re going to realize this. at some point, you’re going to look at your life and how you let people take advantage of you and you’re finally going to say “no more.” you are wonderful and capable and worthy of all the things you want. you just have to see it for yourself, you have to see that your life should not be lived based on making people happy that wouldn’t do the same for you. it’s going to be an awakening for you, but it’s going to be beautiful.
Scorpio: you are in the midst of chaos right now. you’re thinking that life is always going to be this whirlwind of emotions and that nothing will ever settle down. this year, you’ll find your safe place. the one you can run to when things are going bad. whether that place be an actual place, a hobby, or even a person. it’s going to bring you peace like you’ve never felt before. remember to hold onto it. you’re going to finally let go of that wall you’ve been holding up forever, don’t be alarmed when it comes crashing down. it’s going to be natural.
Sagittarius: what a year you’re going to have. first and most importantly, pure love is in store. this doesn’t have to mean romantic love, but it sure is a possibility. you’ve been holding back for quite some time when it comes to opening up your heart, but thats going to change now. secondly, when you find this love, you’re going to be faced with your natural instinct, which is to run. when this happens, don’t run. you’ll be missing out on a happiness that you haven’t felt before. learning to open up is one of the most important lessons you’ll learn in this life, you have to let it come.
Capricorn: this year, you’re going to end cutting out people and things that don’t make you happy. this is pure self care and the first step to putting yourself first. you tend to not put your needs first too often. you’re no longer going to let everyone walk all over you. you do everything for other people, and this year will be your selfish year. when you find yourself feeling bad about it, don’t. this is the start of something that always needed to happen, and you’ll find yourself much more peaceful if you run with it.
Aquarius: who you are now, might be a stranger by the end of 2019. but doesn’t it always go that way? maybe, but it’s going to be different from what you imagine. you’re going to become stable in who you are. you’re going to suddenly have an understanding of your place in the world, perhaps you might find your purpose. it’s going to come so fast and naturally, that you’re going to question what your world was before this reason for living came along. remember that this is happening for a reason, you are meant to do great things and you’re about to see what all of this means.
Pisces: joy is coming. you’ve had a rough past few years, but this year you’re going to have new beginnings and you’re going to find a new sense of self. you’re going to learn that all the bad things had to happen in order to get to where you are now. don’t try to change the past anymore, or question why certain things had to happen. just focus on here and now because before you know it all of the years are going to pass by. this year is going to be the year that you end up finding the happiness you only felt years ago. enjoy it.

Ways to guess rising signs - Part one
By identifying how the elements and modalities of the signs might play into real life, we can help narrow down the guess of a person’s rising sign. It’s impossible to know for sure unless you have their birth certificate. However, having two options for their rising sign for example is better than twelve or not knowing at all. As always, planets or aspects in first house or to the rising sign (ascendant) will affect how one person appears at first. Take this with a grain of salt. Modalities coming soon :)
Elements:
Fire - Look for overt confidence and/or boldness in their gaze, movement and way of greeting. Are they impulsive? Do they have a regal aura? Are they outgoing or laughing a lot? Appearing very comfortable in most situations and not afraid to take up some space? Would you consider them fierce? What about enthusiastic and a warm nature with a lot of friends? Can you easily observe what they are feeling? Are they straightforward or feisty with their words? (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Earth - Look for politeness and one who minds their own business. Subtle confidence. Do they appear quiet, stoic and/or serious? Is there a modest, down to earth or humble vibe to them? When you speak with them, are their words cautious, blunt or honest? Can you sense that they are reserved and grounded in reality? Would you feel unsure approaching them without any reason and not knowing them priorly? Do you think they are more logical than emotional? (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Air - Look for an easygoing vibe. Do they seem scatter minded? Are they non-confrontational? Would their expressions brighten when an interesting topic comes up? Have they tried to debate about it or excitedly share ideas with you? Were they a little quiet or relaxed at first? Well mannered and accommodating when speaking with you? Lightheartedness. Are they passionate and knowledgeable about a topic or cause you’ve stumbled upon on in conversation? Are they friendly and sociable yet detached? (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Water - Look for quietness and emotion. Not the bold emotion like fire elements but more of a muted, underlying emotional complexity. Do they come off as kind, passionate and/or caring? Are they approachable one day and not so much the next? Would you feel more open and comfortable telling them how you feel compared to another stranger? Is there a soft or intense vibe to them? Moodiness and a melancholic type of feeling. Could be intimidating when angry. (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Ending this year on a high note:
-Reevaluate the events in your life this year. Some of it will be bad, some will be good. That’s okay, that’s the course of life.
-Review the goals you had at the beginning of the year. Were they fitness related? Health related? Skill related ? How many of your goals were you able to achieve?
-Write a plan for achieving some of the goals you haven’t been able to achieve yet. Realize that a successful year isn’t necessarily you smashing all the goals you had, it’s you actually going through the process of your goals. It’s you adapting them according to your personal situation. It’s you trying, regardless of the barriers you’ve faced.
-Remember that it’s not a race, so don’t try to rush into fad diets or ill-informed decisions. Quality over quantity all the time.
-Think about your mental health. Have you grown as a person this year? Do you feel more in tune with yourself spiritually? If not, how can you remedy that? Have you been putting off cutting off toxic people or even seeing a psychologist? Have you been treating your mind kindly?
-We all have hard decisions to make. Did you make any hard decisions lately? Do you need to make a hard decision? This decision needs to come from you, but you do need to know that your life is about YOU. Of course, having children or a significant other changes things, but you need to be aware of what you can and cannot accept in your life. What will make you happy? What decision will put your soul at ease?
-Think about what’s important to you right now. Take a moment to appreciate all the people and things that make you happy. If possible, treat yourself. You deserve it.
-Always changing, always growing. What goals do you have for next year? I like to compare us to Pokemon, always evolving to a better, more powerful state. What will make you more powerful next year? Is it studying better? Starting that risky venture? Dedicating more time to your fitness and health?
-Did you take risks this year? What did you learn from them? Would you do it again? My grandparents always encouraged me to take risks in my youth(within reason) because we have less to lose(e.g business ventures when we don’t have children to take care of or traveling while we’re single). Have you tried to achieve any of your riskier goals? Why or why not?
-Are you happy with where you are right now? Of course we always want to change and grow, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be happy with where we are and how far we’ve come. We all face obstacles in our lives and therefore only we truly know how much footing we’ve gained each year.
-Yes, winter is cold and dark but it’s also shrouded in happy holidays. Allow yourself to feel the excitement for the new year and the holidays. Dedicate some time to family and friends. Try to de-stress.
- If you don’t feel fulfilled enough this year or if you feel inspired to do something else this year then plan out one of your goals. So much can still be done in your life. Travel, fitness journey, finding a new job, having proper study habits, putting yourself out there etc. You don’t have to wait until January 1st to expand your goals.
-Say: “I did this! I can do this! I’m strong, I’m smart and I’m capable.” Realize that this is so true. You’re strong and capable and you’ve grown and you WILL continue to grow.
-Meme culture is self-deprecating, which I feel can be harmful because we tend to accept that we aren’t the best and we don’t put up much of a fight. If you have that mindset try to free yourself from that way of thinking. We’re all ordinary people, that doesn’t mean that we can only do ordinary things.
-Make someone happy. There’s nothing more heartwarming than making a person smile. Volunteer, help a friend or a stranger, make someone a gift or surprise them with something they’d love. It’s winter, so even just donating food or clothes will make you happier because you’ll know that you had part in making someone’s life better.
-Make a 2018 bucket list. Fill it with small things that would make you happy like going to a musical, decorating your apartment according to the holidays, finding a new favorite book (am I the only one who can’t not read a few good cheesy romances in the winter? Give me all the sappy stories to read when snow has hit the ground).
-Expand your circle. I always say this but it’s a great way to expand your mind. Have a conversation with someone older than you, talk to someone who’d quieter than you. Listen to people’s life stories.
-Take the time to appreciate beauty. The Christmas lights. The sparkle of snow. A person’s smile. A sweater. Laughter. Take it all in.
- Let your holidays feel as magical as they felt when you were a child. Remember that time when movies like Home Alone felt different? They felt more epic. Snowfall felt more important. We looked up at the sky. Do all that again or find things that will make your holidays feel perfect.
-If you’re single and you don’t want to be, maybe put yourself out there now. Shoot your shot. Take the time to think about how much you are as an individual. Realize that relationships aren’t needed for happiness. Don’t let not being in a relationship dampen your mood. You can make you happy just as well as another person can.
-If you’re in a relationship, think about how you can help make their holidays more magical too.
I hope this list helps anyone who feels that they want to make sure that they exit 2018 the right way!
is anyone else just going through life like “yeah i just gotta get past this last difficult week and then it’s smooth sailing from there!” but like… every week
