You're ready to undergo a profound transformation in 2019. This past year has been a time of sifting and sorting. You have weighed what you need against that which no longer serves you. A clear picture of your new life is emerging. Take the plunge. Embarking on an exciting career path is strongly advised. Don't be afraid to assume more responsibility. Launching your own business or taking the helm of a big department will be a welcome challenge. It will be gratifying to put your leadership skills to work.

Getting closer to someone you love will be rewarding. You're ready to let down your defences with a person who utterly adores you. By seeing yourself through their eyes, you'll become more confident. You'll also be more kind to others, as well as yourself. A teaching opportunity is worth taking. Treating your students with courtesy and respect will inspire them. Suddenly, pupils who never performed well will impress the entire organisation with their superior work. You make an excellent mentor.

You intend to improve your day to day existence in 2019. This doesn't just mean improving your diet and taking more exercise. It also involves making more time for creative pursuits that make you happy. Putting your thoughts down on paper each morning will be transformative. By this time next year, you could sell a screenplay, novel or memoir for a handsome profit. You've always had the makings of a successful author. If you're already a professional writer, you could soon produce a masterpiece.

Devoting more time to pleasure should be your New Year's resolution. You're a conscientious person who often puts your own needs aside for the sake of loved ones. It's time to put the emphasis on your needs. Enjoy more vacations, creature comforts and romantic outings. Take your cues from a loved one who thinks well of themselves. When you pattern your behaviour after theirs, you'll command more respect. You'll also get into the habit of having fun and letting problems roll off your back.

You're longing to break free of an oppressive situation at home. 2019 invites you to become more independent. This could mean anything from moving into your own place, breaking away from a toxic relative or gaining greater control over your emotions. Landing a steady job that pays well will make a tremendous difference. Not only will you be able to support yourself, but your confidence will soar. Stop buying into a negative image that has been imposed on you since childhood. You're capable, talented and worthy.

Changing your outlook will pave the way to a happier and healthier 2019. You tend be highly critical in a quest for perfection. Rather than offer feedback on what's going wrong, give only praise and encouragement. Above all, compliment yourself at every turn. This encouragement will improve your relationships and cultivate progress. It's much easier to be motivated when you're working for an appreciative person. No matter if you're trying to inspire your staff or yourself, this positive approach will be successful.

Improving your financial situation is a good goal to set for 2019. You have the potential to launch a successful business from your home. Operating from your own office will save time, money and aggravation. It will also help you cultivate a healthier work-life balance. Opportunities involving property, banking and manufacturing will be especially profitable. Alternatively, you may find yourself managing a large group via teleconferences. People enjoy your hands-off approach. When you trust employees to do their best, they will.

Your intense personality prompts others to do your bidding. Be ready to demand special favours. When service workers go above and beyond the call of duty, heap them with praise. Send a complimentary letter to their employer to keep the positive energy flowing. When you give people the appreciation they deserve, you become a magnet to more helpful individuals. Don't be surprised when you connect with experts who will assist you with a blog, podcast or screenplay.

You'd like a greater measure of privacy in the New Year. Even a social butterfly like you must rest their wings from time to time. Stop accepting every invitation that comes your way. Reduce your presence on social media. Above all, take some solitary holidays. Keeping your own counsel will improve your financial situation. Instead of spending money on status symbols and expensive outings, you'll save your hard-earned cash. Soon, you'll have a nest egg that will make you feel safe, secure and immune from market fluctuations.

You're excited about the future. After putting time, money and effort into a childhood goal, you're finally seeing results. 2019 will be a time of tremendous accomplishment. The secret to your success is a willingness to accept help from others. Instead of insisting on doing all the work yourself, you gratefully delegate tasks to people who are inspired by your ambition. Together, you'll create something of lasting value. Don't forget to thank these angels when you are asked to give a speech at a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Undertaking a new role is a worthy goal for 2019. Whether this means leaving a predictable job for a more rewarding career, serving as the representative for a charity or getting involved with a political cause does not matter. The important thing is to command the spotlight. You'll enjoy getting fame and acclaim for your visionary ways. Both progressives and conservatives will be receptive to your suggestions, thanks to your practical approach. You don't want to burn bridges; you want to extend them.

You're ready to embark on a grand adventure. Spend 2019 exploring unfamiliar territory. Travelling overseas, acquiring more education or developing your personal talents are all possibilities. Avoid the conventional path at all costs; it will just stunt your growth. Friends in high places are delighted to see you pursuing lofty ambitions. They'll do everything in their power to help you. Allow them to write references, set up interviews and arrange introductions. In 2019, who you know will be just as important as what you know.
