What does the first half of 2018 hold for you regarding love, money, work and health? Our fabulous GLAMOURSCOPE writer Leigh Goldberg reveals all.
Aries (21 March-19 April)
Like actress Elle Fanning, you’re determined, fiery and a natural born leader. This is your year for taking charge of your cash, stabilising your career and revelling in romance.
Love Single? You’ll be focused on commitment and finding someone relatable. The stars predict an eccentric character. If involved, expect mental stimulation and wild, sensual nights.
Soul mate Aquarius, with their high standards, are on your radar. A fellow Aries or a Capricorn could also spark interest. Just know that Aries/ Capricorn combos can be challenging.
Work Stability and leadership are your goals, which is great since you don’t like being told what to do. A promotion may be coming your way, especially around 18 March-16 May. The rules for 2018 are action and consistency. Then again, action is never a problem for a brave warrior Aries.
Money Accounting will be easy. It’s the right time to invest in your home and to make money through property.
Health You may overindulge during this period, but this won’t last as you crave exercise naturally. In fact, a marathon is on the cards.

Taurus (20 April-20 May)
Like model Gigi Hadid, you’re sensual, determined and reliable. Get set for amazing career, financial and romantic opportunities. Add sexual pleasure and the first half of 2018 will see you owning your beauty as the butterfly inside emerges.
Love If you’re in a relationship, expect to deepen your bond as commitment is important to you, or move on. If single, you’ll yearn for a relationship. But there’s a strong likelihood of a magnetic attraction to someone completely the opposite.
Soul mate Earth and water signs, especially Capricorn and Scorpio, are your catnip, and there will be common ground with Capricorn.
Work Media and communication, from journalism and public relations to teaching, are ideal, although your diverse interests may see you taking on an extra career.
Money Start thinking about who you can trust, as you may need a business partner. Your money is tied to other people this year – which may also mean an inheritance.
Health You love cooking and eating, just make sure to get plenty of exercise. Outdoor activities, such as walking, suit you most.

Gemini (21 May-20 June)
Like supermodel Naomi Campbell, you’re chatty and adaptable. This year asks you to be gentler with yourself and to find new ways to make money. Love will have a fantasy vibe with many passionate moments. And work? There will be more opportunities for leadership.
Love If single, stop dreaming and get out there. You don’t need to be perfect to attract love, and the stars predict sexy flings. If involved, romance, fantasy and passion will dominate your love-life. Make time for intellectual bonding, too.
Soul mate You’ll encounter a range of mates, including mysterious Scorpio, adventurous Sagittarius and emotional Cancer. Other possibilities: earthy Taurus, dynamic Capricorn and charming Libra.
Work Meaningful work will be especially important, and you’ll get involved in a charity. Your job will feature feminine energies and children, and there may also be a career change.
Money Marriage or business partnerships will bring financial gain. Karma is strong and the more generous you are, the more you’ll receive. Be creative and go with your own flow, and money will come.
Health Detox regularly, watch out for urinary tract infections and stay hydrated. Make sure to guard your sexual health in light of all the sexy encounters.

Like model Winnie Harlow, you’re creative, enthusiastic and generous. The start of the year asks you to give more where money is concerned, while still looking out for number one.

Money Projects related to children or different forms of communication in the technology sector are likely to result in financial gain. Business dealings may also involve your mother or motherly figure – or assets belonging to her.

Money Expect financial stability, as you gain control over expenses. More time will be available to structure your money, so put some cash aside in investments that will yield a big return. Financial goals need to be mapped out. You’ll be spending on luxurious items that will make you feel more feminine.
Health Nerves will definitely take strain. Stick to natural foods that increase serotonin levels. Drink calming teas, like peppermint, chamomile and lemon balm, and de-stress by exercising. Have your thyroid checked.

Soul mate A mysterious Scorpio will give your body the sexual healing it needs. You’ll delight in a somewhat hedonistic lifestyle with a Taurus. You may also attract social Aquarius whose mind will fascinate you.
Work A work-social life balance is important at this time. When an abundance of creative energy comes to you, go with the flow and trust your instincts. You may work with children and there will be lots of fun to be had.
Money Any secrets regarding your finances will surface. It’s time to gain control – stop hiding from the paper-work! You may also have to deal with matters of inheritance.

Like actress Aishwarya Rai, you’re seductive and passionate. It’s time for new beginnings, breaking away from the old. A marriage proposal could happen when you least expect it.
Love It’s true that you keep most of your thoughts hidden in love, but you need to open up in order to connect more deeply with your loved one. For couples, talks of marriage may occur. If single, you will feel the need to settle down, and will look to all sorts of avenues to make this happen.
Soul mate Gemini and Aquarius may cross your path, but these relationships can be difficult. A fellow Scorpio will be around for mind-blowing sex and a Capricorn for a shoulder to lean on.
Work Change is afoot. You may even decide to join the family business or work from home. Your job may involve technology, as well as humanitarian work. You’ll have higher aspirations and will put in the effort to attain them.

Like actress Zoë Kravitz, you’re optimistic, freedom-loving and honest. Money will come easy to you, supporting you if you decide to take time off for your own pleasure. It’s an expansive year bringing many opportunities for love.

Soul mate Expect to attract a generous Leo or a Sagittarius. You may also attract your complete opposite in the form of a Gemini who will keep you on your toes. Virgo will interest you but not for too long – their view on the world is too narrow for you.
Work Sturdy relationships with colleagues and a harmonious work environment will be important to you. You’ll strive to be a pioneer in everything you’re involved in, which may include law, art, beauty, interior or graphic design and counselling.
Money All good karma relating to money will find its way back to you. The key now is to take all that good fortune and invest it into something that will bring you long-term interests.

Soul mate A sensitive Cancer will intrigue and challenge you as they are your opposite. Gemini may come into the picture, as well as Sagittarius who will expand your world. Pisces will also offer everything you need to bring calm into your ambitious world.
Work It’ll be a great start of the year if you’re a teacher. Your wisdom and knowledge will be sought after. Your writing skills will also be noticed at work and it’s a huge year for publishing and media. Your work will also benefit from any additional courses. Don’t be shy to take on management roles.
Money Improve your financial status, as money-making efforts will intensify. Mastering technology will help you with this, especially where you can connect with a lot of people online. Take breaks in between to avoid burnout.

Soul mate The first half of the year sees you attracting a fellow Aquarius, fun-loving Leo, mysterious Scorpio, stern Capricorn and an adrenaline-loving Aries.
Work The beginning of the year sees you feeling restricted with too many responsibilities. It’s likely you will be placed in a top position, and with your temperament and skills you can definitely handle it. Things will change in the second half of the year where you’ll feel more free.
Money It’s a lucky year for financial wins. Money is coming your way – hang in tight! Educating yourself on how to best invest your money will pay off. Expect some financial dealings with your mom or someone who you see as a motherly figure.
