Aries: You may want to keep the party going on into 2018, Aries and you’re torn between enjoyment and newly awakened ambition. Which will win out? There’s no reason to say you can’t have both but this calls for a compromise on your part. One big compromise may indeed have to be made in January. This all revolves around whether or not you want to keep something going – or let it go. This can be anything from a romance to your work. You’re looking closely at an area and asking if you are getting back as much as you are investing or are in fact, being short-changed. You’ll try renegotiating but if that does not work the compromise you’ll make is walking away in order to have something better in the future. Better that than to continue to compromise your values.
Taurus: Want something more? Chances are it’s not more things you crave but a bigger slice of life, love and experiences. There’s some things money just can’t buy and if we want them, we have to make them happen. That’s your task as we begin 2018, Taurus. This may mean making some changes first or stepping out of your comfort zone. If things stay the same we get more of the same and it seems you’re now way past accepting a re-heated future. The process may begin as you take a long hard look at your home and lifestyle. Does it truly sustain and support you or have you just dug yourself into a rut? Being a fixed sign you tend to resist change long after it should have taken place. What we resist persists – if only the need to do something. Don’t be afraid to embrace change and let the magic happen now.
Gemini: Act with confidence, surety and conviction now, Gemini. Time to reap what you have sown and if your harvest is coming in short, to own the fact this is down to you and no-one else. The start of 2018 is all about taking responsibility for your own life and your own decisions. In other words – owning it. Own your choices and own your power too. If you are facing blocks or frustrations you have the ability to change that. The New Year also offer you the opportunity to look to where you may have given away your power to others. Is there a balance that needs to be redressed or do you need to reclaim it? By the end of January you’re in peak position to tackle this if need be. And say once and for all what needs to be said.
Cancer: Partnerships – past, present and potential dominate the start of 2018. You’re ready for something more serious or to take an existing relationship to the next level. You are also asking questions about who is there for you. Who do you know has your back or is there for you if need be? Don’t be surprised if you are seeing whether or not people measure up to this. You want to plan and build for the future and if not exactly ‘putting a ring on it’, need to know whether or not this is something long term. See this as a reflection of your values and how you value yourself. If you’re single and seeking something lasting, you’re not unafraid to state that upfront and quickly weed out anyone who isn’t a serious contender for your heart. Here’s the funny thing about people who ask for what they want – they usually get it. Get ready for the serious side of love now.
Leo: You’re mistress or master of the art of negotiation as 2018 swings into effect. This is not a time to sell yourself short in any area – be it personal or professional. You know when to compromise on an issue and also when to stick to your guns. You could be asked to do this across a couple of key areas at the start of the year. Some of you could negotiate a new job or work arrangement. Or perhaps just more ‘me’ time in your daily schedule. Others could be looking at a key relationship and realise it has become somewhat out-of-balance. There’s no tip-toeing around this. The only way is to sit down and tackle it head-on. It may be that nobody’s the bad guy here. The situation just crept up on you and some minor adjustment gets you back on track. Single? Fate could just be at work.
Virgo: Something is about to be revealed for what it truly is and not what you would like it to be. Are you ready, Virgo? Of course, what you think it is and what it actually is may be one and the same. If so, then congratulations. You have something beautiful that’s made to last. However, others will find that person, job, situation or even something they used to love to do isn’t all it was cracked up to be. Refrain now from putting lovers especially on a pedestal as a big disappointment can ensue when they come crashing down. With anyone or anything new entering your life at the start of the year, take your time and reserve judgement for now. The 90 Day Rule isn’t a bad way to go whether it’s that new job or that potential love interest. Adopt a ‘wait and see’ approach as what you see may surprise you.
Libra: Your home, your apartment, family, roommates if you have them, your lifestyle and what makes you feel secure as well as your long term career and ambitions will play major roles in 2018. Chances are you will be facing a shift. Most probably around where you are living or even how you live. Your career is also in focus with many of you not just changing jobs but completely changing direction. This may have been on the cards for some time as many of you may have found your path no longer holds the same meaning for you. Or else no matter how hard you have knocked, those doors remain closed. These are all signs it’s time to make a new start. A new path may contain far more rewards than your old one. And I’m not just talking about money but satisfaction. Don’t be afraid to strike out.
Scorpio: How are you evolving, Scorpio? You are after all the sign of rebirth and reinvention. If you haven’t already updated your image, the New Year marks a time when some adjustment may pay off in more ways than one. People are going to be looking at you differently. It’s important now to be seen in a positive light. One of the hardest tasks we can undertake is to step outside ourselves and look at how we come across. But this is yours to explore now. People in positions of authority are not only watching how you come across but what you say too. It’s time to ensure your word is your bond. To speak and then follow through and above all, be seen as someone who knows what they are talking about. Don’t fudge things and whatever you do, don’t pretend you know the answer when you don’t. Nobody knows everything. Follow these simple rules and you could be due for a helping hand up the ladder of success for 2018.
Sagittarius: If money or lack of other resources is holding you back, 2018 promises to be a game-changer for you, Sag. However, it may be necessary to reign in that generosity your sign is known for. The bottom line is the only way to save money is to spend less of it. I know this is not what you want to hear. Having said that, you have the opportunity to lay down a financial foundation to support your future and all things Sag which usually involve experiences. Remember, adventures need to be bank-rolled. And you need a foundation from which to launch them. Getting this may involve you working diligently at something behind the scenes or for which you have to wait to see the rewards materialise. But manifest they will. It’s all about long term planning for you now Sag as opposed to living in the moment. Think of this as investing in your future. The pay-off is you get to design it.
Capricorn: Who are you really, Capricorn? This is the question you will need to answer and with some authority behind it, over the next 2.5 years. Are you your job title, your possessions, your salary, your corner office if you have one, your trophy partner (if you have one of those)? You may be in the process of reaching for any, some or even all of these things. But as you do, understand that these are merely ‘things’ and do not define you. 2018 marks a time when your ambitions are stirred like no other. You’re capable of amazing things and scaling untold-of-heights. But don’t let this be the be-all-and-end-all. Doors can open now and please remember – they can swing both ways. They can let you in or be marked ‘Exit’. This can be a time of rich rewards and let’s face it – you are thee sign prepared to go the distance. But practice non-attachment and know you are far more than just your achievements.
Aquarius: The New Year sees you examining key relationships and looking at whether they measure up. I know that all sounds very calculated and this is a good word to apply as it is all about checks and balances now. Are you seeing a return on your heart’s investment? The books have to balance in some way now and if not, you may be prepared to cash in rather than invest further. This year has a touch of fate and karma about it. People will cross your path that are ‘fated’ to influence it in some way. This is a good time to just step back and see who is helping you and who hinders you. Karma is at work and it’s pay-back time. You have either helped or hindered this person in the past and this includes past lives. Something hidden gets dragged out into the light of day. This could be someone’s real motives. Secrets won’t stay hidden now. Ensure your life is an open book.
Pisces: 2018 could see new and possibly influential connections being made. One in particular could have a massive impact on how your future unfolds. This may or may not be a romantic connection. People who are older than you or else just come across as ‘old souls’ have something to offer so be open to connecting with people from all age groups and don’t let age one way or another be a stumbling block to love. It’s all just a number. You’ve a yearning for a deeper connection and intimacy than you’ve achieved before. It’s more than just a physical connection you’re seeking but a soul one. We can usually only achieve this from experience. Lovers who have been on a journey or come from a place or galaxy far, far away could invite you to join them. There’s something larger than life about love now. Ask where you would like to journey and what you want to experience on the way there. Chances are that a travelling companion will turn up.
