What’s in store for you this year?
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Element: Fire
Symbol: The Ram
Ruling Planet: Mars
Mantra for 2018: “I’m proud of who I am and grateful for my good fortune!”
Money, Job and Status
The year 2018 is looking so bright; you’re going to need shades! Finally, this is your time of harvest that occurs once every 30 years. Expect accolades, a promotion, a scholarship and a chance to realize a cherished dream. Cut your losses. While this time of harvest occurs, lucky moneybags Jupiter will be in one of your money houses. This is the year to go for a mortgage or a loan. You might receive an inheritance. Your partner will earn more. Yay!
All Your Relationships
In astrology, sex and money are related. We like to think they aren’t. We like to think that money has nothing to do with relationships – even those of us who are deeply shallow. But it aint’t true. Money problems are tough on relationships. This is why your relationships will flow more easily this year – you will be successful in your world. This successful image will have a positive affect on your closest relationships.
Home and Family
The beautiful thing about your increased wealth and success this year is that it will help everything to do with family and home run more smoothly. Money problems will diminish. You can be generous to family members. Furthermore, because you feel prouder and happier this year, it will be easier for you to get their respect. This is the perfect time to explore real estate or build a home or do anything that requires a mortgage because
you can do this so easily.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Element: Earth
Symbol: The Bull
Ruling Planet: Venus
Mantra for 2018: “I’m preparing for success with someone who’s got my back!”
Money, Job and Status
In terms of job, career and your status in life, you are preparing for a career peak in 2021. This is important to know because it gives you time to prepare. The degree to which you are ready to take advantage of this time of harvest will determine how successful you will be at that time. Your time of harvest occurs only once every 30 years – and you are just three years away from it. This means you must get performance-ready. Get further schooling or training. Travel will help to polish you with worldly smarts.
All Your Relationships
Your best good fortune this year is with relationships – virtually all your relationships! We’re talking business partnerships, marriages, close friendships, and even your dealings with members of the general public. This is where you will shine. It’s a fabulous year to get married. Whoever you marry will probably be upbeat, joyful and possibly richer than you. Furthermore, the partnership will bring you further joy and wealth. Mingle freely and enjoy the company of others.
Home and Family
Ever noticed how money keeps the kids in touch? Matters with home, family and real estate will be excellent this year because Jupiter is travelling opposite from your Sun. This means relations with partners, spouses, and close friends will be better than ever. Furthermore, because you feel this strong support from others and a warm congeniality with those who are close to you, then like a domino effect, this extends toward your relationships with family and the people you live with.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Element: Air
Symbol: The Twins
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Mantra for 2018: “I’m healthy, sexy and ready for a new job!”
Money, Job and Status
This is the best year in over a decade to get a better job or improve your job. You can perhaps get a promotion where you work. Negotiate for what you want. Find a job description that suits you better; demand better working conditions. Or you can leave – (after you found that better job that is waiting for you). Don’t let this opportunity pass you by! This blessing will not return again until 2030 – it’s a rare opportunity!
All Your Relationships
Two things that can promote positive relationships this year. The first is that your health will improve. You will feel more energetic and vibrant! This makes you more attractive to others. You will respond to someone coming into your life. Secondly, you will have greater job success this year – and success is sexy. Not only will you be more appealing to others, but you personally will be more upbeat and enthusiastic about life.
Home and Family
Late this year, Jupiter moves opposite your sign indicating that your marriage and committed partnerships will blossom and be happier. However, if you are thinking of expanding your home through renovations, be aware that in the next two years, it will be harder to get money from others. Furthermore, even though your job will improve; your partner might start to earn less. Plan carefully. The vibes will be happy but you must not count on others too much. Fortunately, you’re in the driver’s seat.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Element: Water
Symbol: The Crab
Ruling Planet: Moon
Mantra for 2018: “I deserve vacations, fun, pleasure and play!”
Money, Job and Status
This is a powerful year with your career and your reputation among your peers. Many will get kudos, praise or a promotion because something will happen that empowers you. This year your focus will shift to your outer world and how you can begin to take power. Real-estate speculation, the entertainment world, show business, and the hospitality industry are excellent areas to explore. From here on, you will work for a career peak, which is about seven years from now. This year is the turning point.
All Your Relationships
Ooo la la! 2018 is one of the best years for romance and love affairs! You might encounter love at first sight. You might meet someone through work, travel, friends or even your kids. You might meet someone while you’re on vacation. Current relationships will be more playful and light-hearted. However, Mars will be opposite your sign in the spring and late summer. This will be challenging because it makes you easily annoyed with others. So it’s a mixed bag. Romance is blessed.
Home and Family
You have to be patient with others this year, especially in the spring and then again in the late summer while Mars is opposite your sign. Plus because you are more powerful this year, it could create difficulties within your family dynamic. By becoming more powerful, you are upsetting the status quo of the last decade. Just tell yourself you can either “Be right or be in a relationship.” And remember – this is the perfect year for a family vacation!

Mantra for 2018: “This is the year for me to build my Leo castle!”
Money, Job and Status
You will be productive in 2018 because you will work hard. Simple. You will give everything your all. Do not be judgmental of coworkers and think they are slackers. They do not have your motivation. You will take pride in your work; and you will want credit for what you do. You are preparing for your debut; and so you will do everything you can in order to get ready. At times, you might feel overwhelmed. Fear not. You are up to this challenge! Nevertheless, treat your body like a tool that has to be well cared for.
All Your Relationships
Singles might meet someone through work or through a family member because your relationships get a wonderful, positive boost. From May to November, it will be a testing time because Mars is opposite your sign, making you annoyed with others. Remind yourself what you would lose if that person were gone? Too often we focus on the faults of others and forget the wonderful things that attracted us to them in the first place.
Home and Family
Everything about home and family will improve this year. Family members will be generous to each other. It’s a fantastic year for real estate. Buy and sell, or buy for the first time because whatever you buy will be a financial benefit. This is a great year to improve your home through renovations. You can rent something bigger and better. Your family might expand through marriage or birth. You might improve your home by buying beautiful things that make you feel richer. This is a great year for home, family and real estate – the best in over a decade!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Element: Earth

Ruling Planet: Mercury
Mantra for 2018: “The more positive I am in life, the more life is positive to me!”
Money, Job and Status
This year your optimism will increase and you will be more hopeful about achieving what is important to you. You will be less inclined to sell yourself short. You’ll be more inclined to think “I can do that!” You will educate yourself. Your confidence, optimism, increased knowledge, and willingness to speak up will bring you success this year. Your plans for the future will be more ambitious. This means you are the reason for your success this year. You are the magic!
All Your Relationships
Your relationships will improve this year because you will be more positive, upbeat, optimistic, generous plus more intelligent and aware. All these qualities will be more enhanced than they have in over a decade. When you speak, you’ll be PowerPoint on steroids! Singles will attract people to them because optimistic confidence is sexy. Existing relationships will be deeper and enriched because you will have the courage to be more honest and the wisdom to know where to draw the line.
Home and Family
Because your communication skills are so great this year, you will deal more skilfully with family members. However, Mars makes you playful! If you are a parent, you will have more fun with your kids. However, Mars is also aggressive and daring, which means you might have conflicts with your kids. Be patient. Patience is the antidote to anger. So this will be your challenge this year. You can also teach siblings, relatives and kids because no one is a better teacher than an enthusiastic student.

Element: Air
Symbol: The Scales
Ruling Planet: Venus
Mantra for 2018: I am deeply appreciated and compensated!
Money, Job and Status
This year you can make more money. Yay! You might get a raise or make money on the side or get a better paying job. Areas that get a boost are the entertainment world, the hospitality industry, professional sports or working with children. You can also improve your earnings through work-related travel or dealing with foreign countries. Perhaps importing/exporting? Focus also on publishing, the media, higher education or anything to do with the law and medicine.
All Your Relationships
In 2018, Mars will activate your House of Romance and Love. Expect to encounter new love in a breathless, unexpected, sudden way. Someone will just blow into your life! You might meet this person on a vacation, or through the entertainment world, the hospitality industry, or through children, or through your own creative expression in the arts. Whether you are active in sports or a spectator – you might meet this person in your sweats (Hmmm).
Home and Family
In the next two years, you will secure your home to create a safe refuge in the world. You might move; or do something basic like repair the roof or renovate. Now is the time to solidify your home and family relationships because you need to lay your foundation for the next 30 years. For some, this means increased responsibilities with a parent. This is a time of beginnings, and the first thing you are doing is laying a solid foundation for the next few decades.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Element: Water
Symbol: The Scorpion
Ruling Planet: Pluto
Mantra for 2018: This is my lucky year! I must make the best use of this advantage!
Money, Job and Status
This is a marvellous year for Scorpio! Lucky Jupiter is now in your sign to stay until November 2018. This is a huge blessing that comes only once every 12 years. This means you will attract opportunities in work-related travel and dealing with foreign countries. You will also attract new chances to explore and expand avenues in medicine, the law, higher education, publishing and the media. You will definitely increase your sphere of influence.
All Your Relationships
All your relationships will improve this year because you are happier. Why? Because lucky Jupiter is in your sign for the first time in 12 years. It makes you happier, more content, more relaxed and yet, at the same time, more confident and eager to expand your horizons. All of these qualities make you more attractive in the eyes of others and definitely more approachable. Furthermore, with Jupiter in your sign, you will attract people to you. Everyone wants to see your face.
Home and Family
Just as your relationships will improve this year, your relations with family members will also improve because you are more patient, more enthusiastic about life, and more accepting and tolerant of whatever goes on around you. You are also more content and happier. These qualities promote a more harmonious relationship with family members. You are now entering a two to three-year window with a strong chance for a residential move in the next two to three years.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Element: Fire
Symbol: The Centaur
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Mantra for 2018: Timing is everything. My personal good fortune arrives this year!
Money, Job and Status
This year you’re in a holding pattern until November when your ruler, lucky Jupiter, enters your sign to stay for a year. Extreme good fortune! (This will not occur again until 2030). Meanwhile, it is wise to organize your finances as well as you can. You will also be intellectually and verbally aggressive about going after what you want because fiery Mars will stimulate your speech. Go slowly.
All Your Relationships
It’s time to discover your values. Who is best for you? Where should you put your efforts? What kind of job you should have? Like a karmic conspiracy, two planets force these questions. Saturn wants you to define your values; while Jupiter hones your spirituality. These two different planets travelling through two different parts of your chart are working for the same goal. This year some relationships will show you what you don’t want to be. Some relationships will show you what you do want to be. It’s a time of personal evolution.
Home and Family
Many issues regarding home and family have been confusing since Neptune entered your Fourth House in 2012. This influence makes you think a lot about what your perfect home life would be. What would be your ideal home? What country would it be in? Would it be urban or rural? Are you alone in this house or with a partner? When Jupiter enters your sign in November, your confidence will get a huge boost. And suddenly, many of these wishy-washy issues will become crystal-clear.
Lucky Days for 2018

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Element: Earth
Symbol: The Mountain Goat
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Mantra for 2018: More than ever before - my future is an open book.
Money, Job and Status
This is an important year because your ruler Saturn is now in your sign for the first time in 30 years. The last time was from 1989-1990; and before that 1959-1961. These dates mark when you left a lot behind and moved forward to something new. This is what is happening again this year. You are on a new path to reinvent yourself in the next seven years. Your responsibilities will continue to be considerable and your accomplishments will be great. With surprisingly little effort, your life will flow more easily this year. It’s time to advance your position.
All Your Relationships
This is one of the most popular years you’ve had in over a decade. You will meet new friends. You will also join new clubs and organizations. You thrive well in clubs because you like to combine your desire to socialize with being civic-minded in a helpful, supportive way. Seek out like-minded people to perhaps work for broad social reform. This year whatever you put out will come back to you multiplied. Remember this.
Home and Family
Stock the fridge because you will entertain more at home. Clubs and organizations will gather there because you are so popular. You will be strong in your role in the family – stronger than usual, and probably bossy. You will direct the efforts of others and perhaps renovations; and you will entertain more. You will also spend money more freely by buying special things for your home, especially items related to technology and modernizing your home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Element: Air
Symbol: The Water Carrier
Ruling Planet: Uranus
Mantra for 2018 : I accept my success with modesty and gratitude.
Money, Job and Status
This is one of the few years in your adult life when lucky Jupiter is at the top of your chart. The last time this happened was in 2006; and the next time it will happen will be in 2029-30. This will give you opportunities to move ahead in your profession. People will admire you! It’s a time of kudos, acknowledgements and promotions. Many will have more work-related travel and deal with foreign countries and people from other cultures. It’s your year to put your name up in lights!
All Your Relationships
Relationships will be tricky because you appear to be successful, and others admire you. Nevertheless, you will start to let go of people, places, relationships, jobs and possessions. This is inevitable. It will impact your closest friendships and partnerships. If you are planning to leave a partnership, the handwriting is on the wall. However, most of you will not leave your partnership and will have to work with the change of “letting go” together in conjunction with someone else.
Home and Family
Three influences will impact your family this year. The first is you will be happy; and if you’re happy, family members will feel happier. The second influence is that Mars will help you to work on family projects, home repairs and physical activities (Some might feel you are too bossy). Be mindful. The third influence is that you will go through closets, garages and storage spaces getting rid of stuff. You will start to consider bigger decisions like a change of job, residence, city or maybe even your country.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Element: Water
Symbol: The Fish
Ruling Planet: Neptune
Mantra for 2018: I want to travel and educate myself this year!
Money, Job and Status
This year you can call the shots. Yes, you have responsibilities but you also have opportunities! 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. Increase your knowledge through education and travel.
All Your Relationships
Success is a litmus test for friendships. You 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. 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, because you will travel; but also because you will attract these people to you.
Home and Family
Major changes with home and 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. If so, it will be a major trip. You will also be more tolerant of family members, even tolerant of things that usually irritate you. Your sense of humour will be snappy. Basically, you will appreciate the dance of life in all its glory.
