Your stars for 2018

-

LIBRA (24 Sept-23 Oct) LOVE

If you’ve been hanging on to a relationsh­ip that has lost its lustre, move on at the start of the

year. A fresh romantic opportunit­y is on the horizon if you open yourself up to it. Obey your humanitari­an impulses, as your passion for a worthy cause makes you extremely attractive to others. It may be difficult to find time for dazzling romance in the autumn, because work will become very demanding.

LIFE

Sharing your skills and time with those in need will be gratifying. Delays that prevent a legal transactio­n from moving forward will vanish around April. In meetings and interviews in August, a little self-promotion will go a long way to helping you climb up the ladder. Taking up a spiritual practice, or donating money to charity, will put you in the path of good fortune. The more you do for others, the more help the universe will send you. If you’re yearning for a change in October, look into discount travel packages to romantic destinatio­ns.

MONEY

By focusing on your blessings, you’ll attract money-making

opportunit­ies. Career changes will mean a steady income in spring, and most of your money worries will be gone by October. Accept a lucrative job offer in November.

SCORPIO (24 Oct-22 Nov) LOVE

Mars in your sign as the year begins heralds a lively month

when it comes to love. It’s time to overhaul stale relationsh­ips, which means you need to be honest about your feelings – and be willing to give each other more space and freedom. You will easily outshine romantic rivals in the autumn. Single? Your charisma will attract the attention of a mysterious newcomer.

LIFE

Jupiter in Scorpio will nudge you

to promote your gifts. Trust that you’ll achieve your long-term dreams. You may change jobs or go through a stressful time in May, but this will ease by August. Your increased sensitivit­y in the autumn will benefit both personal and profession­al relationsh­ips. You crave excitement, and may develop a sudden urge to take up something new. Variety is the spice of life – and relationsh­ips – which is why you should break from routine. Since you’re determined to enjoy a wide range of experience­s in 2018, you’re in for an exciting time.

MONEY

Push your personal ambitions during the first half of the year. If you aren’t being properly compensate­d for your efforts, ask for a well-deserved pay rise. Making money from your creativity is a distinct possibilit­y. Perhaps it’s time to channel your energy into arty pursuits.

SAGITTARIU­S (23 Nov-21 Dec) LOVE

Issues between you and a partner or best friend will be brought into the open between March and July. Once you’ve dealt with problems causing you the most concern, you’ll feel more able to let the barriers down and allow people in. Your closest friends respect your feelings, and will prove they are emotionall­y supportive. Spending time alone will be therapeuti­c in December.

LIFE

Adopting a mindful attitude will help you take life at a slower pace. Look inward. This is your chance to grow and nurture your talents, but only if you’re honest with yourself. Your career prospects take an upward turn. You’ll get satisfacti­on working on a job where you’re learning as much from others as they are from you. You may have to work behind the scenes to prove your worth, but retreating will give you a chance to experiment. Treat this as a trial period. Hard work will attract bigger and better assignment­s, so keep on pushing through.

MONEY

Social events and travel could cost more than planned, which may cause problems further down

the line. Unexpected money from an inheritanc­e, refund or dividend will buy you more freedom in November. Use the money wisely, because once it’s gone, it’s gone. Spend it on something useful.

CAPRICORN (22 Dec-20 Jan) LOVE

Being busy at work and socially shouldn’t mean you allow romance

to fall by the wayside. Make sure you’re not trying to do too much on your own. Delegate smaller chores to your colleagues, and make room in your life for pleasure – as well as work. Expect to face obstacles such as balancing work and family commitment­s between April and September.

LIFE

Your New Year’s resolution will be to overcome all hurdles that have been preventing you from

achieving a cherished goal. With Saturn, you’re likely to come up against some heavy challenges. Persevere and you’ll progress. In the autumn, you’ll settle into new circumstan­ces or routines. Talking about worries will resolve them. There’s an unmistakea­ble air of goodwill surroundin­g you during the first half of the year – take advantage of this by delegating some of your responsibi­lities. You’re working hard to ensure your longterm security, and your efforts will be rewarded very soon.

MONEY

Having structure in your finances is very effective. Try reviewing your money situation every month and creating a regular payment plan. The year ends with your finances on the upswing. Try not to splurge too much at Christmas!

AQUARIUS (21 Jan-19 Feb) LOVE

You’ve always enjoyed working with others who share your

humanitari­an principles. You and a partner will be on a mission in the summer to make people more aware of their environmen­t. Getting involved in a charity drive will keep you motivated. Single? Volunteeri­ng for a worthy cause will put you in the path of romance. You could meet someone at an animal shelter or environmen­tal agency.

LIFE

Spend time at the start of the year

thinking about the future. You may need to analyse the past before you can move forward. Taking up an unexpected offer in April could lead to something wonderful around October. Self-analysis is something you regularly have to do, so you know you’re on track towards your goals, making the right decisions and mixing with the right people. When you see that things are going well in your life in the summer, you may feel the time has come to stretch yourself further. You won’t regret it.

MONEY

Don’t let a business opportunit­y pass you by in February. Keep financial and business plans secret between March and July. When you lack the necessary resources, recycle old materials. Support for a charitable effort will be welcomed by your circle of friends.

PISCES (20 Feb-20 Mar) LOVE

If a loved one is giving you a hard time, you’ll understand why by the

end of February. A trip overseas will leave you feeling like the main character in a romantic novel. Single? You’re sure to find romance on this journey. If you’re married, you could gain in some way through an in-law’s wisdom during the family month of December. You’re never too old to learn something new.

LIFE

No matter what hurdle you come up against in 2018, you’ll find a way

around it. Because everything you take on will be a success, and your approach to sorting out problems is quick and effective, don’t be surprised if, by the end of the year, you’re promised a promotion. Keep alert for new opportunit­ies. Relationsh­ips will liven up throughout the year, and new experience­s will be good for you. Follow up personal and work-related incentives to travel. The more versatile you are, the more successful you will be.

MONEY

Apply for a new job in March, and you’ll make a good impression. In summer, try making money out of teaching people valuable skills – think of things that you have spent years cultivatin­g. Put off a costly one-off purchase in November, as you’ll get it cheaper in December.
