Linda Lancashire’s 2018 New Year Horoscopes
March 21 – April 20th
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Just like the dark, the light has always been there and it will still be waiting for you to embrace it when you are ready. You are learning something that is going to become really big for you during the course of 2018 regarding money, peace, recognising opportunities when they present themselves and love, but there is no need to tell the world just yet. Hold onto your secrets because your ideas will become more valuable with time. Over the coming months some sacrifices will have to be made if agreements are to be reached and this means that there will be some challenges to both face and deal with indicating that your inner strength and patience will be seriously tested. Whether you crave to improve the quality of your life, attract more prosperity, nurture your relationships or accelerate your spiritual development, everything that happens during 2018 is preparing you for the next chapter of your life.
CAREER
During the course of 2018 you will find ways of making extra cash, possibly creating new jobs by employing some very clever individuals or developing enough self-belief and confidence to go it alone and work for yourself, because always remember, you are
the magic and the key to your success is within your own soul. The career sector looks particularly promising as you might acquire some new skills that could help you ascend the ladder of opportunity working towards building an excellent professional reputation and spreading your fame. As new avenues of growth are likely in the second half of the year, you will be faced with making some crucial changes and will have to rely on your quick thinking, wits and putting your excellent communication skills to good use as you navigate your journey through some tricky pathways. You may even have to rethink your strategies and current field of industry and focus your energies on reviving an old business idea that you were previously forced to shelve because the time wasn’t right. If you are already in a career that you enjoy, venture further afield to broaden your horizons and gain more experience. Once you decide on a plan of action, nothing or no one will be able to slow you down.
FINANCE
Always be very cautious when it comes to financial expenditure and investments and keep a close and tight rein on your money. People may try to take advantage of you by persuading you to do business with them. Think twice before committing yourself to anything that could result in losing money in a ‘get rich scheme’ and do whatever it takes to stay solvent and on good terms with your bank. If you receive a financial windfall, inheritance, salary increase, retirement package, dividends from an insurance or investment or any other form of money, keep this information under wraps and put it somewhere safe and do not make the mistake of broadcasting this information to all and sundry. As the year progresses, the negativity and pessimism of the past will give way to positivity as you gradually begin to see your wealth and financial security improving, providing you with a greater sense of security and well-being for the long term future.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS.
Love and romance will be high on your agenda and this year is the perfect time to seriously think about finding a mate and settling down. The year ahead will have you looking at what matters the most in your personal and intimate relationships and searching for ways of how you can get these needs met. It’s a time for seriously prioritising what and who is important and what and who you have outgrown. 2018 is a year to be really honest with yourself about to start living the life you have always dreamed about because the only person standing in your way is yourself. You are bringing a new maturity to the table and this will reflect on how you communicate with current or new partners. Just be mindful that you do not cause hurt feelings by not thinking before you speak. Always remember that loving someone also gives you the power to hurt them. During the middle part of the year you will be given many opportunities to explore different kinds of relationships and the chance to spiritually connect with someone whom you can form a long lasting union based on love, trust, respect and understanding.
April 21 – May 21
GENERAL OVERVIEW
This is the year that sees you making profound connections and introduces you to new relationships, career and business opportunities in ways that you couldn’t have possibly imagined. Some aspects could place a strain on close relationships and play havoc with your family life, so there will be a necessity to seek ways of creating a more balanced approach in your dealings with the demands of life both personally and professionally. You are highly communicative and full of enthusiasm charm and charisma, which tends to impress quite a few people upon their first meeting with you. It’s as though you are able to tune into their energies and win them over to your way of thinking without very much effort on your part. But do be careful because there is a tendency to scatter yourself too thinly at times often making impulsive decisions, behaving impetuously, displaying a devil may care attitude, but sometimes at a very great cost that cannot be easily rectified at a later date.
CAREER
You can be an exciting person in the board room because you enjoy nothing more than a jolly good banter. The difference between you and a lot of other people is that no one ever works for you, they work with you and it’s your ability to instil confidence in others that give them the confidence and courage to try new things and realise that anything is possible.
During the whole of the year, you must resign yourself to taking the rough with the smooth. You expect to experience periods of very hard work with your nose to the grindstone, alternating with periods where all your efforts are suddenly bringing rich rewards and recognition for turning negative situations into positive ones. Nothing is ever that straight forward and there is always a glitch to deal with somewhere, so you must be prepared to deal with the unavoidable changes and unexpected obstacles that will arise just when you think you may have grasped a situation, only to discover that you must change course without much notice. At times you may have to adhere to certain rules that even by your standards seem restrictive, if not a little harsh, but you have the patience, power and resourcefulness to work within those boundaries and still manage to produce some amazing results. In recent years you have been motivated to work hard towards creating a more secure and comfortable lifestyle, but burning the candle at both ends has possibly affected your health and stamina levels, so it’s also important to know when to take a break, so that you give yourself the chance to recharge your batteries. Your ambitions and aspirations will get a new direction and your position in the career market will be markedly strengthened as you continue to navigate your way through the year ahead.
FINANCE
2018 is a year of expansion, abundance and prosperity. You don’t have to impress anyone, as they already know your financial worth. You will find the confidence and determination to face and deal with any financial obstacles, legal involvements or clashes with authorities. By taking an interest in your finances and doing a bit of digging and investigating you will discover where the money has been going and this could prove to be a bit of a shock. As a result, you will feel less inclined to be as generous or frivolous with your money as you have been known to be in the past, thus making savings for the long term a priority. 2018 promises to be a year when good fortune smiles on you and when an element of luck and good timing allows you to break out of old routines and move into new areas, but it’s also important that you learn to finish what you start and make a point of never leaving loose ends to chance.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS
Right from the very start you will be ready for action and adventure and you may encounter people who will be prepared to involve and include you in their travel plans and social soirées. As the months roll by you will be given every opportunity to improve the quality of your love life, especially if you have experienced matrimonial discord or relationship power struggles. There could be some confusion regarding a previous romantic involvement that refuses to go away quietly, thus causing things to become tangled and a bit too complicated for your liking. The temptation to embark on a new affair could be overwhelming, even though you are fully aware of the consequences. A time approaches when you will grow increasingly closer to a loved one or partner, but all this calls for making a few sacrifices and compromises on your part. If a relationship stands any chance of success, you must be prepared to work as a team and creating enough time to spend enjoying one another’s company. The key to a successful love life in your case is to be completely honest with your partner. If single and hoping to find love, you will not be disappointed because there is someone out there who is also searching for someone as special, unique and individual as you. Pay special attention to your health as you are known to indulge in rich food, fine wines and generally not doing yourself any great favours. Keep your weight in check and don’t make any promises you can’t keep.
May 22 – June 22
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Giving and receiving creates balance and harmony. That which you give you will get back in abundance. Put your spare time to good use by helping someone in need as kindness makes the world go around. Versatility is your middle name and being a dual sign, you are very experienced in working an efficient balancing act. As someone who has a very low boredom threshold, you prefer it when there is a lot of activity and interaction taking place around you, not only because you enjoy socialising, entertaining but also you function at your very best when you are needed. You like to feel that you have made a positive difference to the lives of others. Because you are generally an outgoing and convivial creature with excellent communication skills, you will always attract much attention towards yourself and 2018 will prove to be one of the most amazing years you have ever lived through and survived, emerging out at the other end a stronger, complete and more spiritually evolved person than before with the promise of becoming richer and wiser for the experience.
CAREER
Massive changes within the working environment have caused concern as to which route you take going forwards. Either a massive change of direction causes you to question to climb the greasy pole or to take a more conservative and cautious approach for the next phase of your life. Unbelievable offers come to you during this period and strange circumstances may be weaving their web in your career or business that will cause you to seek advice before making any promises or signing your life away on the dotted line.
Make sure you have the right information because hearsay and gossip is rarely reliable. The whole of this year will call for an extraordinary degree of commitment if you are to make a success of a much longed for dream to manifest itself. You can expect work to be a constant hard slog and continually finding yourself under the cosh, but in truth, you always work well when under pressure and living on a knife edge, similar to an adrenalin junkie. Don’t push for ego centred ambitions, the more caring you are, rich rewards will come.
FINANCE
The way you handle your finances are about to change in some very serious ways. This is the year in which to pay off outstanding loans and debts and become more responsible with money. This is the year that sees you perfecting the art of being a ‘pound’ stretcher, always seeking a bargain, business bartering and making savings wherever possible. Frittering your hard earned cash around just won’t appeal to you any more than spending time with those who disrespect money and who have little or no direction. It’s an excellent time for setting up a financial plan for your later life or retirement by looking closely at where the best places are to invest your hard earned cash and this could include the selling and purchasing of property both in this country and overseas. Put all your affairs in order by ensuring that your Will, Powers of Attorney, etc., Trust Funds etc., are updated and that nothing is left to chance. If money is owed to you, have the confidence to go after it and insist it is repaid. 2018 is a great year to really set your stall out because the seeds that you sow now will determine what kind of harvest you can expect to reap later.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS
It’s not always easy for the ever changing Gemini, because as the sign of the twins, you were born with many sides to your personality and it can be a life time’s work finding someone who is compatible with you on all levels. For some of you, what causes even more complications is that you can really switch on the charm and enjoy nothing more than flirting outrageously, but of course, this often causes problems and partners cannot always be expected to be understanding or tolerant of your game playing. Friction on the domestic front may spiral out of control, so rather than continually feeling stressed out, frustrated and upset, start taking control by setting down some very important boundaries. You know what you want, stick to it. 2018 is the year when ‘enough is enough’. Doing things differently is what this year is about. From the very start of 2018 the planets promise you a star studded line up, so get ready to shine like a diamond, because the Spring looks like the best time for attracting love, so you should see at least one potential suitor appear who will succeed in winning your heart. For those in solid, stable and happy relationships, things will only go from strength to strength and you could also make a very important announcement before the end of the year that will be a wonderful reason for a family celebration.
June 23 – July 23
GENERAL OVERVIEW
This is the year that sees you making a huge advancement in areas that have caused you much frustration, feelings of entrapment and uncertain where your destiny lies. You will be more in touch with your emotions and it will be easier for you to express your feelings and communicate on a level that will allow others to understand and appreciate just how difficult life has been for you during recent years. Your confidence and rising social skills will help you to attract all kinds of new people into both your personal and professional world, some of which will be in a good position to offer you help, support and encouragement because 2018 sees you breaking free of a lifestyle that has held you back for so long. During the second part of the year things are going to start moving quickly, so try to pace yourself and don’t take on board more than you can handle at any one time because there will be plenty of opportunities for you to spread your wings and fly. Your hidden talents and creative gifts will surface to the fore helping you to discover just what you are capable of once you put your mind to things. No matter what you are aiming to achieve, there will be a great incentive to reach your goals.
CAREER
Establishing security will be your number one goal because you need a career that makes you feel safe. You tend to nestle into a job with the same spirit that you use to create a warm household. As a natural homebody, in some cases, home based work will suit you the best. 2018 might prove to be one of the hardest working cycle in your entire life because there is so much to do and the very thought of embarking on a new project will fill you with excitement and enthusiasm. You could experience a few ups and downs and be forced to deal with some very awkward people, so it’s important that you learn how to deal with situations efficiently and with confidence rather than allowing your emotions to cloud your judgement.
It’s important that you listen to your intuition and know when to keep a healthy distance between you and certain characters. Always be mindful of people who may be in your circle but who are not in your corner. Fortunately, you will be blessed with a myriad of golden opportunities that will serve to help you excel in search for job satisfaction where others will see you as a bright light and an inspiration for them to follow your example.
FINANCES
Purchasing a home, buy to let, renting, leasing, business enterprise or sinking your money into a good, long term investment will all prove worthwhile if you are serious about upgrading or changing your current status in life. It looks as though you are going to sail fairly smoothly where finances are concerned, probably because you will keep your head well and truly screwed on the right way, whilst simultaneously keeping your wits about you at work on devising a few excellent plans for your long term future.
Be prudent when it comes to money, always spending carefully and prioritise what is important and what is unnecessary. There could also be some very unexpected news concerning a monetary windfall involving you as a beneficiary to a Will or Legacy made in your favour or some lucky numbers that could change your life forever.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS
2018 will bring some memorable moments mixed with bitter sweet moments that could present you with a few challenges to deal with and important decisions to make. There could be an element of turbulence in a current relationship with a few stormy moments to overcome, so good communication with your partner is vitally important if you are to move forwards in your relationship. A secret related to your romantic choices could also be revealed, so discretion must be exercised because this year is not the time to trust anyone you harbour doubts about with your deep seated thoughts and feelings. There could also be a temporary separation until you are sure of what or who you really want. If single and serious about meeting a soul mate, luckily you will not be alone for long and you can look ahead to a bright light at the end of the tunnel you have found yourself stuck in. Romantic opportunities will arise when you least expect and the end of the year could see you looking forward to some very interesting developments between you and someone you find totally irresistible and drawn towards like a magnet. If marriage is on your mind, it sounds as though this year will provide the setting for a very special personal celebration and if you are currently sharing your days with a soul mate, then you may even consider blessing your union and reaffirming your vows.
July 24 – August 23
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The coming year ahead promises to be very eventful, fast moving and demanding of your time and energy.
Your patience will be seriously tested at times and you will often need to take a few steps back, just to give yourself a breather and time to re-evaluate and reassess your position. It’s important that you begin to put yourself first and not forever finding yourself at the bottom of the food chain. 2018 is about you, your needs, requirements, aspirations, dreams and turning ambitions into a reality. Always trust your gut feelings, even if you do not like what they are saying, because they are there to help and protect you. In some cases, it’s time to put your foot down, say ‘no’ and mean it. No more dithering and no more feeling guilty because it won’t get you anywhere. The dominant theme of the year is confusion because so many choices will be on offer. The only mistake you could make is by denying yourself an opportunity because you do not feel strong enough or able to hoof yourself out of your comfort zone and try something completely new. The arrival of 2018 sees you with a new level of energy and heightened popularity, which will enable you to stay focused on matters of importance and setting goals that will continually stretch your capabilities.
CAREER
With so much spark and energy, you can be exciting, charismatic and a great communicator, but with your wide range of interests and passions, it can make it difficult for you to stick to one thing in particular because of all the distractions surrounding you. The coming year will act as a wave wiping out the pressures of last year. Actions speak louder than words so let your performance do the talking, because you are certainly going to make very good first impressions that will all lead to new and influential doors opening. How you market and sell yourself will inform others about your special gifts, attributes and how you can be beneficial to one another. Associating with the right people will enhance your prospects with spectacular results. This is an excellent year to build and mend bridges with individuals whom you may have experienced misunderstandings with previously, but it’s also important that you do not get carried away by making promises that you cannot keep because you have your good reputation to consider.
FINANCE
2018 is a good year for relocation and change. Certain business connections you have will be complicated but it’s very important that you do not lose interest too easily in a venture that could eventually prove to be a roaring success and financially lucrative. You have a natural ability to spot a bargain and to read the financial market trends by instinctively knowing when to buy and when to sell stock, property and when to make investments. It will be necessary for you to be sensible with money as it’s important that you keep an eye on monies coming in and going out of your accounts and not giving way to the temptation of spending money you have not got, especially when it comes to loan and credit card agreements, because once borrowed, it will all require repaying later. What you are realising is that you cannot take anyone nor anything for granted.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS
The past has had a great influence in how you are now dealing with personal relationships and some event that has taken place previously is responsible for determining your values and what you find important in your life is experiencing a complete metamorphosis which is bound to affect many of your decisions in the year to come. There is a growing sense of maturity regarding your emotional side that will pave the way to a happier and brighter love life. A distracted mind has made it difficult for you to cope emotionally with certain relationships and even though you have done the right thing by giving yourself some much needed personal space. Normally you are bright and sparkling, spreading light everywhere, but the transition from last year to this is proving difficult. Those who are already with a special someone will be
focused on making the relationship even stronger and a last minute change of plan or a short journey could hold the key to your heart’s desire as cupid will certainly be shooting a few arrows your way throughout the year.
August 24 – September 23
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Right from the very start, the New Year promises to bring some much needed changes because numerous delays have previously stunted your progress and caused much frustration. Your powers of persuasion will help to settle arguments and reassure people that you speak with confidence, knowledge and experience. You are observant, analytical and always very eager to help others. Often you are the only one who can succeed in doing something the way it should be done because you think of the finer details that others rarely consider. 2018 sees you carrying refreshing energy as you aim high with a determination to carry out and complete your plans to the letter. You must have no qualms about happily waving goodbye to numerous individuals whom you thought you could put your trust in and have recently discovered that was not the case at all. If you have been feeling trapped, stale and without direction, new windows of opportunity will open wide letting the sun shine into your world.
CAREER
No doubt you will be thinking about your long term prospects and what you have accomplished so far. Can you see how much you have grown, developed and evolved? Have you learned to slow down and pace yourself or are you still travelling at warp speed? Will you ever learn to master your perfectionism and will you ever stop expecting so much of yourself and continually beating yourself up? You are alert and meticulous about everything and so no stone will remain unturned on your watch. You may find yourself greatly influenced by a new mentor or someone you respect and admire greatly. Trying to maintain a balance between work and home is not always easy, but your aim this year will be to succeed in areas which you previously neglected because the demands of life were so great the price you paid was so high. What life is trying to teach you is that you are not doomed to failure, but rather that you are learning to define yourself by working in a career that offers you the chance to discover who you are and what you are capable of achieving once you set your mind to it.
FINANCE
During 2018 your financial affairs will be no trifling matter, so watch your spending because you could so easily find yourself dipping in and out of your overdraft facility and risk incurring expensive bank charges. Whilst the focus is on your income, you could well be thinking about starting a brand new business venture with the intention of branching out in a direction never yet explored. Here you could so easily see your money increasing more rapidly than you initially anticipated, giving you a fantastic feel good factor that will all add to your confidence and self-esteem improving. Making your money go further and getting a lot more value for it will be your sole intention for the coming year. The middle part of the year may well see an uplift in your fortunes because of an unexpected financial safety net suddenly appearing. Seek professional help before buying and selling stocks and shares, especially if this is a new venture. In business, trust your instincts and always be careful in who you speak with regarding the subject of your finances and business affairs.
LOVE AND ROMANCE
You are very traditional in every aspect of life and strongly believe in family values and principles because you like to do everything properly, legitimately and above board. You will often prefer to take the tried and tested path rather than experiment with the unknown because you know for every action there is a consequence and you have your reputation and good name to uphold, plus the fact that you dislike confrontation, stress, drama and chaos. Close family and loved ones always take priority, anything or everything else comes second after that. For singles or those seeking companionship, love is in the air, which could start with a holiday romance, online dating or just meeting someone unexpectedly. You will encounter a whole range of interesting new people, some of whom will become very important in the years to come. Friends can become lovers, but don’t let a moment of weakness ruin a friendship. Boundaries need to be put into place from the start if you are to avoid complications later. Friends with benefits simply will not do for anything long term and especially with someone as sensitive as you because it’s likely that you will be the one who always gets hurt and let down in the end. 2018 could also see one particular relationship or love gradually fading away or turning into something that you no longer recognise nor even find appealing. Weddings, engagements and civil partnerships are on the cards for many of you as happy endings are in sight. This is a great year to be happy and to make the most of what is on offer.
August 24 – September 23
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The Universe is poised to bless you with lots of good luck and fortune throughout the year. As a person, you will feel more jovial, optimistic and energised about the future because you always love new beginnings and 2018 proves to be a year you will not forget in a hurry. Right from day one, it’s as though there is simply no stopping you because you are succeeding in getting your head into gear and making progress in both your working and personal life. Rewards are just around the corner and all you have to do is believe in yourself and your abilities like never before. 2018 will be an action packed year for many reasons as you begin an adventure of travel, exploration and personal growth, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. You may form a few interesting, philosophical connections with like-minded individuals who you share common interests and friendship with, but above all because you will find an inner peace that has evaded you for so long.
CAREER
As you enter 2018, forecasts show right from the very start that your intention is to take a more serious attitude with your career. Although you are driven to succeed, there is also the occasional tendency to become bored and lose interest if favourable results do not happen quickly enough, which then sees you galloping towards the next big thing and so the cycle continues. Going self-employed is a great idea as long as you stick at it and not be put off by slack days or the money not pouring into your coffers as promised. Changing career direction is on the cards, so prepare yourself for some tough job interviews and meetings that require a great deal of mental and emotional stamina. You can expect a few plot twists if you are working with a cross section of society, but because you have a good, general understanding of how people think and tick, you will be several steps ahead of them and able to accurately predict outcomes and prepare yourself for the next course of action. You are excellently equipped to deal with all these challenges and learn valuable lessons along the way.
FINANCE
The arrival of 2018 heralds the beginning of a brand new chapter and as long as you keep a level head and remain mindful of financial incomings and outgoings, teaching yourself to balance the books and steering a steady ship will provide you with a superb
feel good factor and a greater sense of security for the long term. There is a strong indication that you could be the recipient of someone else’s generosity and if you are left a lump sum, the question is, what do you intend doing with it? If you have previously gone overboard with spending, you have to be prepared for the consequences of not taking personal responsibility from the start. This year indicates a turning point in your approach and dealings with money and where you can make a few long overdue adjustments to your spending habits.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS
The hotly awaited arrival of 2018 will commence with a few unexpected surprises and a possible change of heart. You can expect quite a few emotional upheavals because feelings change and what you thought you may have previously wanted no longer fulfils your needs or desires. You will find the inner strength to fight your battles and make your point felt and understood, because once you have made your decision regarding a certain relationship there will be very little chance of you changing your mind. You won’t shy away from experimenting with new ideas and people and your thoughts could well be consumed by someone who is not available and out of reach, thus causing you to feel restless and uncertain
but you may not receive the reassurances and personal guarantees which you seek. Singletons looking for love may be tempted to try online dating, social clubs or other ways of meeting new people. It’s a big world out there filled with lots of beautiful people who are on the same mission as you, searching for their one true love, their soul mate. Be patient, hang in there because you won’t be disappointed as love is in the air for so many of you.
October 24 – November 22
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The powers of the Universe are bringing you gifts of boundless energy and the renewed hope of better, richer, happier and more positive times ahead. This is a year of complete transformation and the chance to discover your real self, who you really are and your true purpose on this planet. This is also an important time for wounds to heal, health to improve and continually working on improving your well-being and lifestyle. Gone are the toxic friends, lovers, people who only served to drain your energies and drag you down. By starting to believe in yourself more and realising that you are every bit as good as the next person, you will start going places and have the power and wherewithal to enjoy some extraordinary big achievements. Never live a life of regret because all your past experiences have led you to this point in time and now you can look forward to embarking on the most exciting journey of your lifetime. Unconventional and progressive you will find yourself gravitating towards things, people and interests that appeal to you and choosing to associate with individuals whom you find interesting and inspirational because alike always attracts alike and birds of a feather flock together. A new dawn is breaking and this is now your time.
CAREER
Your confidence is growing and things, situations and life tests which you once found daunting and overwhelming are starting to be so much easier to deal with. You are learning to recognise opportunities and dodge certain obstacles so that you can take the fast track path of least resistance to the life you deserve and have worked so hard towards achieving. You are developing new skills and also learning to trust your judgement and intuition on every level. You will be asked to put your wealth of experiences into practice and most especially in your career and business dealings. Many doors will open for you if you take yourself and your talents seriously. Decisions you have made, challenges you have faced, projects you have immersed yourself in and countless hours you have spent researching information and even some of the relationships you have built will all begin to reap the riches and finest rewards you could ever wish for. Have faith because the universe is full of abundance promising you the best is yet to come.
FINANCE
On a larger scale, 2018 will provide plenty of lucky breaks and ample opportunities to take every advantage of expanding your financial interests and investments because there is some serious money to be made and it’s vitally important that you dare to dream big and go for gold! Chances of investing money overseas must be examined carefully before you agree to anything, because there are always hidden clauses in every contract, so make sure that you heed professional advice and go with your gut instincts before signing legal and binding documentation. You are wise to remain disciplined and frugal when it comes to money, thinking twice before spending it. This is not a year to be reckless, it’s a year to be constructive and sensible with your hard earned cash. Use your resources to invest wisely and climb up the rich list because you deserve to. By all means invest money on technical equipment, computers, electrical items and anything that serves to promote and further your education and assists your advancement. The monetary seeds you sow during 2018 will define the harvest you can expect to reap in the future.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS
The New Year brings some level of mystery, intrigue and spirituality to your personal life and there will be much operating behind the scenes that you will prefer to keep strictly confidential. Broadcasting your private life to the rest of the world is not for you, partly because you have serious trust issues and also you demand and expect total loyalty from those closest to you. Not everyone enjoys finding themselves in the limelight or the subject of discussion. With a little nudge in the right direction it is entirely possible and a lot easier than you think to break free of the past and start making plans to liven up your social life and manoeuvre yourself towards a much stronger position for meeting new, like-minded people that you connect with either romantically or for friendship. This is your year of moving forwards and realising that until you do cut yourself free from the past. The key word to focus on is ‘freedom’, the freedom to choose whichever path you wish to proceed on next and above all, always remain true to yourself.
November 23 – December 21
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Prepare yourself for a year of many changes, twists and turns at almost every corner that will affect your life in more ways than you care to imagine as you enter a ‘no limits’ zone when ‘anything goes’ is possible. Some of you will be seriously considering giving up indulgent habits, some expensive and others toxic that do your health and image absolutely no favours whatsoever. Your reactions and attitude to situations will determine your success to a great extent because by changing your thinking, everything around you will suddenly change and look different to before. You may even find yourself feeling not so cut off and disconnected from your family and loved ones as bridges are rebuilt and old wounds are allowed to heal. Have the confidence in your decision making and make this a year when you finally learn to love and accept yourself for the amazing, beautiful and talented person you are. Plans to travel will always interest you because you love to escape from routine and go exploring. Relocating, starting afresh and giving yourself an opportunity to find yourself will appeal to your desire to seek spiritual enlightenment, development and new meaningful friendships.
CAREER
You couldn’t wish for a better start to the New Year as the planet of Good Fortune is in exactly the right place for your professional and business life. You know your worth and should make sure that others appreciate what you do for them, so don’t be afraid to ask for a promotion, salary increase or the opportunity to study and better yourself. The universe is encouraging you to have faith, take a chance and be brave because a well thought out calculated risk could pay off in more ways than you could possibly envisage. Some exciting new doors will open that will awaken your interests in trying something different, out of the ordinary and that which appeals to your sense of adventure. Associating with the right people can make a huge difference to your prospects because as you well know in this world, it’s not what you know but who you know, so start rubbing shoulders with those that matter and leave nothing to chance. Turn on the charm and use every skill in the book to land your dream job that promises personal fulfilment and a fat pay check to enhance it.
FINANCE
You can be reckless with your money and your plans for the future are not always thought out carefully enough. You love change and become easily bored, so a spot of retail therapy is often used as a quick fix. The state of your finances will continue to occupy your thinking and could prove worrying from time to time. It’s important that you do not undersell yourself in business transactions or when agreeing your salary at a job interview. By now, you should know, beyond a shadow of a doubt how you deserve to be treated and your money and savings should reflect this increased sense of self-worth by enjoying rich rewards for your hard work, but you must also learn to juggle more efficiently than in previous times. Managing your wealth is a very delicate balancing act, but 2018 strongly indicates being a year when you will discover ways of reinventing yourself and starting a brand new chapter that will attract success, security and prosperity.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS
The arrival of 2018 sees you full of energy, enthusiasm and vigour for developing a newer and happier love life either with your current partner or with someone new on the scene. There could also be a case of love at first sight where there will be no stopping you from pursuing the object of your desires. You have a great sense of humour and people love to be associated and attached to you. You make them laugh and smile, cheer them up and will always make friends wherever you go. Your magnetic personality and winning smile will no doubt land you in all kinds of mischief, but life is for living and we only come this way once. As a risk taker, dare devil and a force to be reckoned with, the year will be richly filled with all kinds of unexpected surprises, some welcomed and some most definitely not, but that’s the name of the game. Your social life will be the envy of many as they attempt to keep up with you, but mostly full of energy and vitality, you will always lead the way forwards and others will always follow.
December 22 – January 20
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The New Year will bring about a much greater sense of serenity, peace and tranquillity, something that you have been so lacking but needing and searching for, but somehow it always eluded you, up until now that is. 2018 looks optimistic and full of promise now that you are finally emerging out of that long dark tunnel and coming out into the sunshine. The past has taught you and made you aware of how your choices have affected the present day and your experiences are now guiding you towards a happier and hopefully, less complicated future. Always be your own person and refuse to fall prey to false friends and financial frauds, instead, protect yourself by listening to your gut instincts because they are always accurate and will guide you well along your journey of life. You can look forward to much more fun, happiness and opportunities to do things, go places and meet new people like never before. This is indeed your time, so make the most of it because you have waited all your life for this to happen.
CAREER
You have worked hard and compromised a lot to reach this point and now you are about to join the success wagon train because your efforts and talents are about to be recognised, bringing with them the rich rewards and the promise of much more in the future. It’s time to emerge out of the cloisters and let the world know what you are capable of achieving. Think twice before offering to bail out, accommodate or subsidise those who are too lazy or irresponsible with their money and expect you and others to pick up the tab, because you will get no thanks for it. This is the year that sees you venturing far ahead in your professional life, making enormous gains along the way both personally and financially. It’s an excellent time to start new ventures and feel confident enough in yourself to give things a chance to work out in a way that you would have previously doubted. Be prepared to find yourself clocking up the mileage travelling up and down the motorways and highways like a yoyo. There will be times when you will not know how to get off the merry go around because so many demands will be made upon your time, but it will be all good fun, so enjoy the ride.
FINANCES
Expect plenty of financial growth and right from the very start of 2018 it’s important that you start putting yourself and your own interests first rather than everyone else. Events from the very start of the year indicate that you could earn yourself a lot of money but choosing wisely which areas you invest in, not allowing yourself to get into too much debt and generally being sensible. Being careful isn’t boring, it’s being responsible, realise and working on always remaining in full control of your finances, even though you can afford the best. By the end of the year, an exceptionally healthy financial period is strongly indicated that will provide you with the peace of mind of a safer, secure and solidly structured future that will provide you with a comfortable lifestyle.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS
This year there will be much warmth in your relationships although not all of you will be necessarily seeking permanence, but rather companionship that gives you the freedom to be yourself, giving you outings, friendships and a social life but with no strings attached. Always be mindful that some people want it all ways and are not happy unless they are having their cake and eating it, that is not your way! For the unattached romantics who have been patiently waiting for the ‘right one’ to appear, and who have almost given up all hope of ever finding them, take heart, because something magical is about to happen that will restore your faith in the universe once more. No one can rush these things, but what is meant for you will not go past you and if you are meant to meet your soul mate, then you will. 2018 looks positively wonderful for those who have found themselves in the lonely hearts club, because miracles do happen, so just watch that space. If you are already in a strong and steady relationship, then the bonds between you will be strengthened as time goes on bringing a brand new meaning to the world ‘love’.
January 21 – February 19
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The sense of determination you put towards your goals is unparalleled. You will even surprise yourself when you realise just where your talents lie and whilst success is written in the stars, neither will it come easily. There will be delays, obstacles and forces beyond your control to contend with, so much so, that at times, your patience and your sanity will be severely tested. Despite these occasional hurdles, you will make excellent progress making you realise the importance of stretching yourself and not giving into complacency. This is a year all about inner learning and connecting with other like-minded people, because in turn, you can all help one another. Pay attention to your health and general well-being by revamping your diet and getting more fresh air and exercise. Sitting around like a couch potato will do you no good at all, in fact, it will slow you down to the point where you may as well operate in reverse gear. Overseas travel, luxury holidays and exploring new and exotic places will make all your hard work worth the effort.
CAREER
Your career life should bring you more contentment than hardship over the coming months. You can expect to find yourself sitting at a massive crossroads during the early part of the year because it’s time for you to change direction and do something different that will not only get you noticed, but provide you with a comfortable lifestyle plus giving you a higher element of freedom. Creative ideas could so easily be turned into a lucrative business and because you are blessed with wonderful people skills and the ability to connect with all types of individuals, you could find yourself in great demand both professionally and socially. For those of you who prefer being employed because you like to know where you stand, there is a strong indication that you will be looking for a job switch, especially if you feel you have reached a dead end where you are currently placed. Take a good look around at the employment market because there will be something tailor made especially for you that ticks every box and is indicative of you enjoying a brand new chapter in life.
FINANCES
Aquarians like to feel in control of their lives and especially their finances. You like to know where each penny is being spent and you can be secretive about your money because you dislike others knowing your business. Wisely, you will only tell people as much as they need to know and no more. Although there will be several opportunities during 2018 to create wealth, you must be especially careful when it comes to property, heirlooms or luxury items by obtaining a second opinion, more than one quote or valuation so that no one succeeds in manipulating you into a corner with their ridiculous purchase offer. In the same vein, do not succumb to lending money which you know may never be repaid, no matter how many promises are made. A serious approach to money is essential if you are to rebuild your reserves of savings and work towards establishing yourself in a much stronger, safer and more secure position. As the year progresses you will begin to notice financial worries lessening confirming that more prosperous times are only around the next corner.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS
The coming year is all about doing things that little bit differently than before and making a point of seeking out and finding joy, inner peace and contentment in your most intimate relationships, but that does not mean that everyone will be allowed into your inner sanctum, only the chosen, privileged few will receive a personal invitation. The chances are that you will begin to distance yourself from certain people whom you no longer share any common ground with or those you feel the relationship is very much one sided with little or no benefits to you. Love and romance looks interesting, especially if you now feel ready to spiritually and emotionally connect with someone to share your life with. Life experiences have resulted in you changing your priorities and personal views so much that it’s likely that you will be very drawn towards new people and social activities that are completely different to the ones you were previously interested in. This could all lead to you being less independent and aloof when meeting people for the first time, but this can also be a wonderful thing as opening up to others allows them to get to know the ‘real you’ and the chance for you to enjoy a deeper understanding of your inner being as you both travel together on the voyage of self-discovery and partnerships.
February 20 – March 20
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Get ready for a fated year because your story is written in the stars. Whatever your situation, you can certainly look forward to an exciting year filled with laughter, drama and the unexpected, so don’t be afraid to open the first page of your new book. Yes you have faced many hold ups, delays and restrictions littering your path, but you have had many important lessons to learn that have all contributed to you arriving at this point and make no mistake, Pisceans can be extraordinarily successful when given the chance to express themselves. You are the gentle communicators with a soft touch that pleases others and it’s this ability to win people around to your way of thinking that will help you find the strength and courage to work hard at making 2018 one of the most memorable years ever. What you think you want and what is good for you are two different things, so be patient, because what is meant to be will be, make no mistake. Not one to sit still for long, your restless nature will want to surf the internet travel agencies looking for last minute holiday bargains with the intention of visiting new destinations and perhaps sunning yourself on a tropical beach where there are no mobile phones or access for undesirables to locate you easily. Health matters show signs of improvement as you begin to take charge of your well-being, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
CAREER
The New Year starts by hinting that there could be an element of travelling and exploration connected to your career. The Autumn will be an excellent time to forge ahead in style by bringing your business energy to the fore and focusing on creating all those changes you have been promising yourself, but found yourself restricted and held back each time you tried to make some kind of progress. Your determination to turn your life around will inspire others and win you new friends and a possible business partnership that could make you very rich. If you are a professional, your status will elevate and the chances of a good salary increase into the bargain. Of course, there will be times when you may have to put socialising to one side until you have more time once you have met deadlines and all your work is up to date. If you are interested in changing career direction, this is the year to do it. Focus your energies on restructuring your CV and arranging job interviews. At the meetings, show your assertiveness and interest by asking all the right questions and then decide if that particular job description ticks all the boxes for you. For others, retirement from work does not necessarily mean retirement from life, but indicates that you could take on voluntary work, studying and putting your time to good use.
FINANCES
The subject of money will never be far away from your thoughts and conversations with others. Past events may have seen your financial resources totally depleted or you may have been involved in a partnership that witnessed money disappearing out of your bank account without any prior warning. Be mindful that you can’t afford to take too many risks and always remain responsible for your finances. Your business acumen could lead to some awesome money making plans and ideas so it’s important that you start implementing them and wait patiently before losing interest and heading off in a new direction. Just because something is not working immediately does not mean it won’t work at all. The biggest and most successful money makers plant their seeds, watch the sprout and then grow.
LOVE AND ROMANCE
2018 is a year of pure magic, but it’s also important to distinguish what is real and what is an illusion, is a relationship real or are you just kidding yourself? Right from the very start of the New Year you should be prepared to expect the unexpected when it comes to love, romance and relationships. Promises may be changed, retracted or broken, so don’t set your heart too quickly on somebody who talks the talk but fails to walk the walk, because people are not always what they portray themselves to be. Some of you will only be interested in having some wild, romantic flings because you are not yet ready for a long term commitment, preferring to sow your wild oats and stuff the consequences. This is not a year for putting all your eggs in one basket because you will have options and choices at your fingertips and after all the disappointments you have previously experienced, do the only sensible thing and take your time and choose wisely, not settle for second best. Marriage or a serious relationship is definitely there for you, but the question is whether it’s advisable. In these cases, you have to be one hundred percent sure, otherwise the stress and cost of a break up could leave you wanting and short changed. For some of you, friendship and companionship will tick every box as you begin to form a long lasting relationship with someone who shares the same values as you and whose energy compliments yours. A good sense of humour is essential, but so is a kind and generous heart.
