Aries (Mar 20 – Apr 20) 

2018 is a year that grows on you, especially as you slowly find yourself feeling on top of everything you delve into. Your control isn’t aggressive, but gentle and smart. It brings with it the ability to empathise with those around while managing to maintain command at the workplace and home. Financial gains through smart planning and investments could result in monetary abundance and a sense of security to ease current worries.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) 

We all understand that hard work pays, but from April 2018 you will experience what this truly means. You will be rewarded not merely when it comes to your career; your family too will be proud of your efforts. Expect to travel, be it for recreation or international projects. This is not the year to limit your thinking; allow yourself the freedom to think big and act big. What sets you apart is your calm, but determined resolve.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

What’s different about you in 2018 is that you are fairer and kinder to yourself. Your bright energy plays a role in creating improved balance in your life – be it in what you eat, the exercise routine you choose, the hours you work, the sleep you allow yourself, the company you keep and sometimes how you allow yourself to just do nothing! You will find small travels turning into large voyages of the mind, creating enlightening experiences.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 23) 

How peaceful it is when we experience unity and harmony in our lives. You will find 2018 giving you just that. Your family, colleagues at work and even your maids will be unified in your cause. This all comes from the vantage point from which you will be seen or perceived to be at. You will have a clear understanding of situations and know-how to tackle all the pieces of the puzzle. Your charm could just spell magic.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23) 

Fiery actions and being completely absorbed in your mission is how you walk, or shall I say, fly through 2018. In all your zeal, you will feel a silent contentment, a peace that you have managed to attain a zen-like efficiency in how you function in all areas of life and yet end up being more creative than ever. Your creativity may just take you through unexpected pastures – you will fall in love with what you discover about yourself.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 23)

Independence in thought and action could pave a strong path through a year that sees you face resistance. You’ll have the sensibility to brush off  uncertainties, take learnings in your stride and walk out feeling confident and ready to take on anything. Your foresight helps you make some informed financial decisions and also take charge of your health. 2018 shapes your personal and professional life and polishes you into a fine gem.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 23)

Expect the first five months of the year to stall a bit, but then, also expect the remaining seven months to recover lost time. You strike a chord with those around, especially with loved ones and your partner by being more forthright in your decision making, which will be seen as a welcome change. Having more conviction in your decisions will help you grow your business, or see you receive an increment in your salary.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 22)

Facing important situations and having to make important decisions will be quite the pattern for you. However, this should be much expected as 2018 is a year in which you maintain stellar control and poise through your clear and fresh mindset. You make it all look like a piece of cake with your abilities to multi-task and perform to optimum levels. Allow yourself to bask in this glory, enjoy the stability achieved.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 22)

Usually restless, you will find yourself surprisingly calm. You will want to stick to your comfort zone by building stronger bonds with friends and family. Once this emotional side to you kicks in, you will love being at home and just being available. It’s this time off that sees you develop and hone a creative side. You could find yourself exploring different forms of creativity, be it through art, photography or even filmmaking.

Capricorn (Dec 23 – Jan 20) 

Yes you have it all, you have all the tools to success. You may not realise this yet, you have slowly but surely been extending your skill set. In 2018, you manage to extend this by developing what you may feel is missing — you then bring it all together and forge towards respect and recognition. Taking some disappointments on the chin, you keep your values intact. Expect this year to help you venture ahead.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Expressing yourself through your choices makes you quite an admired person, but it will also help you propel your life towards goals you want to achieve. Your sensibilities and desires will come together as you find yourself in a position to fulfil something you have been waiting for – you may buy that home you have always wanted, or land that dream job, or even splurg on something special. It’ll be a milestone.

Pisces (Feb 18 – Mar 20)

As you settle into the new year, tackling your finances by either getting them in order by rectifying earlier errors or by just working on new avenues of gain will be of prime focus. Have faith that your decision-making will be intelligent and will create opportunities for further growth. If you still find yourself lacking confidence, then don’t feel sheepish to take advice. Let 2018 be the year you dedicate to money.
