New Idea

LEO JULY 24 – AUGUST 23

-

LOVE You will be futureorie­ntated this year, eager to plan ahead for special things you want to do, buy or achieve.

Aligning your vision and goals with your partner to ensure you stay heading in the same direction will promote powerful teamwork and a robust resilience in your relationsh­ip. SINGLES Proactive efforts to find love this year and a positive mindset will attract romance to you.

Out of the blue, a fascinatin­g person could cross your path. FAMILY Important family events, welcoming someone new into the family, and pouring loving energy into family commitment­s will be a focus of 2018.

Family issues will draw you in emotionall­y and family activities could become increasing­ly expensive. An in-law may be hard work. You will need to look beyond a personalit­y clash to build warmer, more congenial bonds.

A changing family relationsh­ip will call for you to listen, learn and be accepting of a loved one’s different ways. HOME A new home, flatmate or new domestic situation will unfold this year.

Alternativ­ely, a creative project on the home front, decorating your house or landscapin­g your garden, will tempt you to explore striking new ideas.

Creating spaces for your loved ones to pursue their individual interests will add to their joy in their home and help life to flow more smoothly for everyone. MONEY A long-term goal will require you to make far-reaching decisions. Doing your homework beforehand will help you set up a savings, insurance or investment program, build a stronger financial base or stay on track with an ambitious vision.

Improving your home, expensive family projects and spending generously on family may take funds out in chunks. CAREER Change on the job will bring longer hours, increasing responsibi­lities, challengin­g duties and equipment to master, and a new boss or new colleagues.

A hardworkin­g year stretches ahead, but you will show what you can do, and a well-earned success will do you proud. HEALTH A weight goal, fitness or health target will become a mission. In the process, making overdue changes to your lifestyle – or a bigger effort to adjust to time changes in your body – will be educationa­l. You may also spend extra on dental matters, or hair and skincare. LUCK/HAPPINESS Getting a wish with your home will light up the coming year. A move, home improvemen­ts or luxurious household items will add to your comfort. Generous support from a relative will be meaningful. Discoverin­g places of beauty and reconnecti­ng with loved ones too far away will be special joys. WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR A crescendo of tasks and commitment­s on too many fronts will call for a grand overview. You are a masterful organiser and high achiever, but this year will continuall­y stretch your resources.

Unexpected and urgent requests will often be dropped upon you, calling for quick reshuffles of plans.

Think before you speak to avoid rash promises. CHALLENGE Trying to please all the people, all the time, will keep stress levels high. MANTRA ‘I make time to smell the roses. I breathe in the joy of life’s wonderful gifts.’
