HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2019: A SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE STARS
This is a summary of Jan. 2019. A page like this for every month will be covered in our Vedic Astrological Transit Guide for 2019-20 . Larger articles on each of these events will also be covered.
JANUARY 2019:
Saturn conjunct the Sun starts the New Year in 2019 on a somber note but Saturn is Cazimi which can deeply spiritualize the energy but still leaves us a bit depressed the first few weeks of January until it completes its combustion on Jan. 16th.
Venus move into Scorpio on Jan. 1st also leaving the friendly confines of Libra to move into enemy territory where sexual passions are stirred and deep psychological grunge comes up to be healed.
We also have a Partial Solar Eclipse Jan. 5-6th which will be visible in the Northeast of China, Mongolia, Japan and eastern Russia and the western most part of Alaska. Eclipses impact the countries that they are visible in most and not sure we need to activate problems in China which is a Capricorn rising country with the eclipse happening in the 12th house of loss and expenditures at about 22 degrees Sagittarius.
Uranus goes stationary direct at Aries 5 degrees on January 6th restoring power to technological advances and invention. While easy to predict, the 7 years of Uranus in Aries will foster new military weapons and inventions and we have seen much in the news already about new Chinese and Russian supersonic planes.
Sun is conjunct Pluto in Sagittarius at 26 degrees on Jan. 11th. This may mark and trigger a new crisis or transformation in the Trump vs. the Deep State battle that has pitted the dark forces that run our government like the CIA and FBI and their battle with the President who seems to have aligned himself with the US military generals.
This has been playing out for the past few years since the election but we think that a huge trigger will happen around this conjunction and continue with Pluto conjunct the South Node (Ketu) in the mean node system on March 28th but having a strong orb of influence of 3 degrees March through early May. Throw Saturn into the mix within 3 degrees this spring and you will get a lot of intensity. The last time we had Saturn/Pluto/Ketu conjunct in the sign of Sagittarius was in 1517 when Martin Luther started the Reformation. Expect Vatican scandals to move to the forefront this spring and they may not be able to cover-up their pedophile mess and many may leave the church over the coming years as the truth comes out.
Sun moves into Capricorn on Jan. 14th to start the new Vedic year and start the upward march of the Sun’s energy into July and the start of a new business cycles and business expansion energy. Called Makara Sankranti. It is a larger event than you might imagine. In the Vedic calendar, it is the real beginning of the New Year where the days start lengthening, and more light descends on the planet. Surya, the Sun God, is regarded as the symbol of divinity and wisdom, and is one of the most important planets (heavenly bodies) of the zodiac and our daily lives. It represents a new kind of New Year – a “new beginning” for which we want to strengthen the Sun within in our lives.
Apart from a harvest festival, Makar Sankranti is also regarded as the beginning of an auspicious phase in Indian culture. It is said as the ‘holy phase of transition.’ It marks the end of an inauspicious phase, which according to the Hindu calendar begins around mid – December. It is believed that any auspicious and sacred ritual can be sanctified this day onwards. It represents realization, transformation and purification of the soul by imbibing and inculcating Divine virtues.
Total Lunar Eclipse on Monday, January 21st at 7 degrees Cancer will be impact and be visible in most of North and South America, the eastern Pacific, Euro and Middle East and most of Africa so it has a huge coverage and it is occurring on a Monday, the day ruled by the Moon.
Mercury moves into Capricorn on Jan. 20th and conjunct the Sun on January 29th and Venus into Sagittarius on January 29th.
Mars gets trined by Jupiter into January 25th between Scorpio and Pisces creating a rich spiritual association and connection for spiritual courage and transformation. The impact of this will be felt the last few week of January particularly for the signs of Scorpio and Pisces but Sagittarius and Aries will feel it but not without some 12th house challenges.

What fellow astrologers are saying about last year’s edition:
“This almanac is truly a masterpiece and labor of love. Barry is a gifted astrologer and writer. I have written yearly forecasts for over 30 years and understand the work, knowledge and dedication involved. It is so complete with everything a beginner or advanced student of astrology would need. The references to the planet’s transit through the signs, nakshatras, aspects, dates and times, plus their interpretations is fantastic. He even covers the effects these will have on individual countries. I am sure I will be referring to this manual frequently throughout the year.”

What critics are saying: “Barry’ Poetic Tour de Force unveils lays of psychological wisdom that heals the troubled soul.–Jamie Bateman
The book is accessible for people who do not know much about astrology and is meant for a larger audience and only small parts of it are technical .
SUMMARY:
The deepest purpose of astrology should allow us to see the Maya or illusion that runs through our mind and blocks us from seeing our own Divinity. Astrology should reveal our hidden patterns and not just affirm what we know about our self already. It is our hidden patterns and blind spots which get us into the most trouble and cause us the most suffering. It takes courage to look at them, bring them into the light and transforms them but that is why we are on the planet. It is much like Bill Murray in Ground Hog Day (1993). How many times do we have to repeat our lives and relive our pain or do we realize our flaws and actively work on them and transform ourselves into a more conscious and active and loving and compassionate person. In this brilliant collection of essays divided into 7 sections, Psychological and Emotional and Spiritual Dimensions of Vedic Astrology, Secrets of the Houses, Blind Spots. Spiritual Astrology, Relationship and Techniques, Barry reveals material beyond the ordinary in unveiling our True Self beyond the illusion. The great spiritual teacher Yogananda was fond of saying that most of what we call the spiritual battle is really a psychological battle and once that battle is won, the spiritual battle is a short one. This book aims to support you in deep spiritual growth with profound psychological insight.
Barry’s spiritual and psychological approach to astrology seeks to cut the puppet strings of the planets that impact our emotions and psychology and bind us to self-blame, doubt and fear, and anger. This useful guide will help you navigate your life.
