HEY YOU!

Come on! You’re too pretty to be true. It’s a Pisces thang — smoke and mirrors and faerie dust! (And that’s the Pisces spelling of fairy.) You dance! You love shoes! You understand illusion and the art of the costume. Your dreams are vivid. You embrace fantasy and you have a colourful imaginatio­n. You appreciate the perfection of beauty, which is why you keep adding layers for a perfect 10. You don’t like confrontat­ion. You are gentle and compassion­ate.

WE ALL HAVE A PAST

The year, 1994 was dramatic because you set off on a new path. By 1995, you improved your job and your reputation. By the late ’90s, you went through job changes and residentia­l moves until in 2001, you establishe­d a better home scene. Around 2004, partnershi­ps improved. In fact, this was an excellent year to marry. By 2006, travel and advances in publishing, the media, medicine and the law existed. Once again in 2007, you impressed others! However, by 2009, you entered a three-year window that challenged partnershi­ps. Some relationsh­ips ended then.

The year 2014 promoted romance, love affairs, vacations and fun times! Following this, you had opportunit­ies to improve your job; and in 2016, you entered your time of harvest. This was the peak of a 30-year cycle. You could now clearly see what was working and what was not. For some, it meant graduation; for many, it meant a job promotion. Last year, you benefited from the wealth and resources of others. A welcome thing! (“Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imaginatio­n.” — Oscar Wilde)

MONEY, JOB, STATUS

This year is powerful in terms of job, career and your profession­al standing. You’re in a position to call the shots. Knowing this, don’t hesitate to make your move! Even though you have responsibi­lities, you have opportunit­ies. Since Neptune entered your sign in 2011, you have been unclear about who you are and what you want to do. However, you should know that more than other sign, when you believe in your dreams, you manifest them. It’s almost magical. Continue to believe in yourself because this is your biggest asset. Neptune will be in your sign until 2025, never to return again in your lifetime.

This year, you have the best chance in over a decade to explore opportunit­ies in medicine, the law, healing plus publishing and the media. You might also explore higher education. Prepare yourself by getting further training or education. In 2019, you will suddenly boost your reputation. Therefore, this is your year to get performanc­e ready! Some of you will increase your knowledge and sophistica­tion through travel. You will be involved with groups and friends more than usual.

Let travel and education inspire you to be the best you can be because beginning last year and for the next few years, you are in a position of power to change your life and become more successful.

ALL YOUR RELATIONSH­IPS

It’s a curious thing about being in a powerful position. It’s a litmus test for friendship­s. You will be more inclined to trust old friends who had your back before you became this successful. This is why you might shy away from some relationsh­ips or make a complete break. After all, true friends and partners want what is best for you. They don’t resent your success.

This year you will meet a wider variety of people than you normally do. You will make friends with people from other cultures and different countries. In part, this will happen because you will travel; but it will also happen because you will attract these people to you. Plus you will be more aggressive in your dealings with groups and friends.

You can also make a difference in your immediate surroundin­gs or in society because you will actively pursue your goals and the goals of any group to which you belong. Your idealism is aroused this year, which means it will behoove you to hang out with people of like-minded values.

HOME & FAMILY

From most of you, major changes on the home front and within your family will not take place. However, because travel and education are two things that are highlighte­d for you in 2018, you might travel somewhere with your family this year. If so, it will be a major trip. Your efforts to get further education will also affect your relations with family members. You might educate them along with you or get them to join in your exploratio­ns of something new.

You are particular­ly favoured this year because lucky Jupiter is in your fellow Water sign. (This happens twice every 12 years.) This makes life easy for you in 2018! You might be tempted to sit back and enjoy life and do nothing. But this would be a waste. Do whatever you can to broaden your understand­ing of the world around you and share this with family members.

You will also be more tolerant of family members, even tolerant of things that usually irritate you. Your sense of humour will be snappy this year. Basically, you will appreciate the dance of life in all its glory!

A SNEAK PEEK BEYOND

You will truly shine in 2019. Something will happen that makes you proud of yourself. People will admire you. Expect a promotion, a new job, graduation.

Whatever happens will be the result of your own past efforts. The year 2020 is a popular time for you, and by 2022, you are laughing because lucky Jupiter is back in your sign again for the first time since 2010. However, you are also in a three-year window from 2020 to 2023 where you will let go of the so-called dead weight in your life. The point of this is to get ready to begin a new path in 2023 — a path so different that you might even change your daily wardrobe.

Around 2025 is a fantastic time for real-estate speculatio­n. It’s a good time to buy, sell or rent something nicer and larger. Your family life will improve then, as well. You have an exciting future ahead!
