CAPRICORN

21 Dec to 19 Jan

Work

Your career will be a big source of strength and creativity. Capricorns know how to work hard, and this will fulfill their desires and career ambitions. Venus will inspire you to come up with innovative ideas that will catch the attention of your bosses, but you might have to deal with some jealousy from coworkers. Expect major changes in the middle of the year. A relocation may occur, or you may get transferred or a promotion at work.

Love

Your love life will be the result of your past actions, and your idea of what love and a relationship mean may change. Your partner may be more assertive and aggressive, which can cause turmoil. Stay calm and keep your temper under control. Now is a time for compromise if you want to keep your relationship steady. Learn to accept your partner’s imperfections. If you’re single, you’ll appear more attractive to people. You may get a call from ex-partners, but ignore them if you’re over them.

Finances

Finances will be your main focus this year. You’ll be extra busy during the first half of the year... busy making money, that is. Some Capricorns will enjoy spending money on things they love while others will save like never before – both extremes aren’t good because there should be a balance. You’ll need to hold off the desire to shop impulsively. Good investment deals may arise. Expect financial help from friends and family.

Health

This year’s planetary line-up guarantees good health for the whole year. There will be variations in your diet and exercise regimes, but your good health will be unaffected. You might run into some minor issues during the first half of the year, but expect impeccable health during the latter half. Your mental health will be stable even if you can get quite stressed. Capricorns with weak nerves and problems with their limbs will need to take rest.

AQUARIUS

20 Jan to 18 Feb

Work

You will experience major changes in your career and start on long-term projects that will bring better opportunities. You’ll have good relations with coworkers and bosses, and will have a pleasant work environment in the office. Teamwork will be rewarding for some of you, but hard work will be what brings you to the next step in your career.

Love

You’ll feel intense emotions throughout the year. It’s a wonderful time to relax with your partner and solve any problems that have arisen in the past. Mars and Venus will help you understand your partner better, and if you’ve been having fears about your relationship, they will fade away. There will be many pleasant and affectionate moments peppered throughout the year. Single Aquarians will attract partners naturally, and should be who they really are always because that’s the best way to draw others to you.

Finances

You may encounter some problems if you’re not careful with your spending. Change your financial priorities and learn to say no to things you don’t need. Expect some major expenses this year, which may take the form of medical treatment for a member of your family. Keep to your financial resolutions and your bank account will not take too much of a hit.

Health

You may run into health problems this year, and may often feel fatigued. Try not to push yourself too hard, physically. An optimistic attitute is the key to good mental health and the strength to move ahead in life. Maintain a healthy diet and relax periodically to keep stress at bay. By the end of 2017, your health will start to improve.

PISCES

19 Feb to 20 Mar

Work

You’ll do well in your career and will have good relations with bosses and coworkers. You’ll achieve your professional goals and ambitions, and those in the business field will enjoy good outcomes from their hard work. With success comes more responsibility, and you’ll need to learn how to embrace it. You’ll face tough competition; consider upgrading your skills so you’re ready to take on future challenges.

Love

Your love life will be very dynamic this year. If you’re single, you’ll meet your ideal partner, and if you’re in a long-term relationship, there will be a refreshment of loyalty and dedication. If you act impulsively, you may create tension and problems in your relationship, so keep the peace. If there are issues between you and your partner, it’s best to talk it out. The year will be full of great opportunities for fun and travel, but it’s passion and commitment that will keep you going.

Finances

This year, you’ll make more high-value purchases and investments. It would be wise to refrain from impulsive shopping. Keep track of your spending. Better yet, put some money in the bank to save for a rainy day. The first half of the year will be excellent for purchasing big ticket items like a new home or car. You must be careful when it comes to making big purchases. On the bright side, the end of the year will bring in some money.

Health

Your good health and mood will result in high energy levels, all of which are gifts from Mars. Channel your energy into something useful and creative. Consider changing your lifestyle, as it may have a positive impact on your personality and health. Don’t forget about exercising regularly to stay in shape. Those who indulge in vices such as smoking or drinking will finally be able to quit these habits.

ARIES

21 Mar – 20 Apr

Work

Even if you prefer working solo, there will be plenty of opportunities for fruitful collaborations this year. After May 9, you will feel more creative and daring, which will go a long way in helping you to achieve your career goals. While Arians are known for being risk-taking, you’re advised to think twice before making any rash decisions, especially when it comes to choices that will have a long-term impact in your life.

Love

Your love life will be quite explosive during the first six months of the year. Because this sign thinks that their way is the only way, they strive to get love and respect from their loved ones, even if it means forcing them for acceptance. In April, however, there will be demand for fair treatment from your nearest and dearest, and you will have to adjust to their behaviour and expectations. If you aren’t eager to change the situation, you may be putting your relationship at risk.

Finances

You won’t have to worry about money this year, thanks to the good placement of Venus, but you should improve your financial situation by saving more and cutting costs. Investments should be made wisely, and you should only seek financial advice from professionals in the field or close friends. Given your strong financial position, you’ll have amazing opportunities, new choices and positive outcomes.

Health

This year, you will be in shape both physically and mentally. Because Arians are sensitive and give 100 percent of themselves in all that they do, you may find yourself fatigued. Stay calm and avoid unnecessary health risks. Rest is the best way to keep yourself energised, so clear out your schedule and spend some time in nature or with loved ones regularly. Physical exercise is important but don’t push yourself too hard as it can do more harm than good.

TAURUS

20 Apr to 21 May

Work

Your work relations will become more pleasant and harmonious, which will in turn put you in a collaborative mood. While you may have doubts about joining forces with others, you will find that it will be fruitful. The most favourable period to look for a new job is between June and October 2017. There will be a lunar eclipse in August that will bring a change. You will learn to manage your goals and expectations, and will improve on the manner in which you deal with people.

Love

Saturn will reside in Scorpio after October 10, and it may cause you to consider that your partner or family members are responsible for the issues they are facing. Possessiveness and jealousy issues will arise. If you’re in a long-term relationship, the topic of marriage will come up. However, the long transit of Venus through Aries and Pisces may make you feel as if you don’t have any freedom in your relationship. You’ll have to find the courage to deal with any old problems that are still present.

Finances

You should spend more money on things that bring you security and cut down on buying stuff you don’t truly need. Younger Taurians need to learn that wasting money on things will only bring problems in the future. Saving is always a good idea, especially if you know that the money will help you in the long run. 2017 will not be a bad year for you financially, but make sure you spend wisely.

Health

The main thing that will dictate the condition of your health this year is your diet. A balanced diet will give you lots of energy and if you maintain one, you will not have any health problems at all.

My Reading Room

LUCKY JEWELLERY

The lush green hue of the emerald, the birthstone of Taurians, signifies new beginnings, wisdom, growth and prosperity. The PANDORA May Droplets captures this in a breathtaking way with flashes of vivid green.

GEMINI

21 May to 20 Jun

Work

You’ll take it slow when it comes to accomplishing your goals. This will not slow down your working process, and will instead allow you to contemplate everything you’ve achieved so far. If you weren’t able to finish anything last year, now is the time to dedicate yourself to completing those goals. You may also change professions – this year is all about change and pursuing the things you love. Be open to learning new skills. You should not, however, expect anyone to support your ambitions, and learn that you don’t need anyone’s approval to pursue your dreams.

Love

Prepare to understand love in another way. This year, you’ll take a different path when it comes to love and will finally end relationships that weren’t good for you. You’ll also seek new partners, though if you want your relationship to succeed, you should look for new solutions. 2017 brings many chances for adventure, even for those who are in a committed relationship. Married Geminis won’t have any problems relaying their needs and desires to their partners, but make sure not to waste time on arguments.

Finances

Even though you don’t usually have to worry about money, this year, things will change. 2017 is time for long-term investments that will bring you a steady growth of income. You’re also advised to seek a raise. Some deals at work may bring you more money than you’ve ever dreamed of, so be alert. Clear all your debts and finish the year without worries; the following year will bring even better financial security.

Health

Your health will be much better this year, but you’ll need to really change your diet for that to happen. When it comes to mental health, you may not do so well and may suffer a breakdown. Try and cut down on vices such as smoking and drinking and even eating when you’re not hungry. Pessimism and bad thoughts can also affect your health, so pay more attention to your bad habits and diet. Vitamins and supplements will help keep your energy levels high.

CANCER 

21 Jun to 20 July
Work
You can expect a successful and good year at work, but this doesn’t mean that things will go smoothly. In any case, you should be able to handle anything that comes your way. Also, gentle Cancerians will have a good relationship with their bosses. Even though this is one of the most goodhearted signs in the zodiac, you can still make enemies if you’re not careful. Invest your energy in achieving your goals and you will get to where you want to be.
Love
Expect things to go well in your love life this year. Any feelings of guilt you have is unfounded; just let it go and enjoy your life. If you’re already in a relationship, make sure you avoid sensitive topics that could lead to arguments. You and your partner need to talk about everything, including your deepest desires. If you’re single, you’ll meet a lot of potential partners this year. The second part of 2017 will be much more rewarding than the first, and love will find you.
Finances
This year will be a great one for you in terms of finances, and money will easily come to you in all forms, from a salary bump to inheritance. This year, you can freely make long-term investments. Your professional growth will have a positive influence on your finances. Be sure to diversify your savings – invest in real estate or keep a bit in the bank. Whatever you do, don’t keep all your money in the same account.
Health
If you had health troubles last year, don’t worry, things will be much better in 2017. Mars, Saturn and Jupiter will give you the energy necessary for improving your physical and mental health. Cancerians will be more optimistic this year, so do what makes you happy. Stay active and get rid of bad habits to dramatically improve your health.

LEO

21 Jul to 21 Aug

Work

You may face some trouble with bosses and co-workers, but your strong relationship with clients will still put you on their good side. Saturn and Venus are the planets that will help Leos in their professional ambitions and motivate them to climb the corporate ladder. This year is an excellent time to create long-term deals. Build up your confidence and you’ll come out of every situation a winner.

Love

Your love life will gain momentum this year. You’ll have a lot of time to spend with your partner and the first half of the year will bring some nice, sensual moments. As the year goes by, you may find yourself in a dilemma and may end up having two love interests (or end up in two relationships!). Now is the time to pick one, as this predicament can last till the final month of the year. If you’re single, you’ll build new relationships and will be excited and optimistic about it. Socialising is important, and the second half of the year may bring interesting twists such as moving in with your partner.

Finances

Expect lots of financial opportunities this year. Whether it comes from work or risky investments, money will still come to you and it’ll be wise to make long-term investments this year. Your financial situation will improve as the year progresses, so treat yourself to something nice.

Health

2017 will bring back recurring physical problems because you’ll be more active than before. Try not to go overboard with your workouts, and ensure that you maintain a balanced diet. This year is a wonderful year for introspection and spiritual pursuits; yoga and mediation will help you attain peace and harmony in mind and body. Saturn and Venus will boost your general health in the second half of the year, but be prepared for your emotional health to take a hit somewhat.

VIRGO

22 Aug to 22 Sep
Work
Frequent changes will occur in your career. Nothing should be taken for granted, so give it your best and success will come to you. During the last quarter of the year, remain calm and everything will work out. False promises may be made to you, so be careful of negative friends or coworkers. Virgos are advised to rely only on themselves and their instincts this year.
Love
2017 may bring some surprises in terms of your relationships. Misunderstandings have to be fixed with communication. Mars and Venus will be helpful if you’re single, and will help you find your ideal life partner. Some twists and turns may occur – keep cool and you’ll be fine. Some singles may go through the year without any serious encounters. On the bright side, you’ll get 122 the stability you crave some time around the end of the year.
Finances
This year will be relatively stable for you in terms of finances. However, you’ll spend more compared to previous years, so you’ll have to stay focused and put effort into improving your financial situation. Refrain from overspending on luxurious things. Analytical Virgos need to use their best assets (detail-orientedness and sharpmindedness) before making big investments.
Health
You’ll generally have high energy levels and be in a great mood this year. Stress will not be able to affect you, and your positive attitude and courage will help you go through life smoothly this year. Hardworking Virgos need to learn how to relax. Remember to avoid all confrontations and emotional upheavals and remain optimistic. Eat well and rest well to keep those energy levels up and be kind to others for more good vibes. Yoga is perhaps the best physical activity for Virgos, as it can strengthen their bodies and relax their minds.

LIBRA

23 Sep to 22  Oct

Work

Expect an excellent year in your career, especially if you’re involved in intellectual work. You’ll have many opportunities to enrich your knowledge in areas that can lead to better career development, and may even pursue studies related to your career of choice. If you don’t improve yourself, you’ll remain out of the competition for a higher position. Maintain good and harmonious relations with bosses and co-workers and tell them that you enjoy working with them.

Love

Your love life will be a bit problematic, but since Librans are the most seductive sign of the zodiac, you may get back with old partners or win new love interests. Refrain from putting your partner in tense situations, and if you have high expectations of your partner, you may be let down. The first half of the year will be extremely emotional and impractical; the second half will be a steadier time. Balance is the most important thing for a good relationship, and that should be every Libran’s watchword.

Finances

You may spend more than you can afford this year. Thankfully, you’ll also have plenty of opportunities to improve your financial situation, and will have chances at promotions, deals and grants. New contacts will help put your finances in order, if not in a better situation than before. In any case, make sure not to take it all for granted. It’s high time to save some money for rainy days.

Health

This year, you’ll be energised and won’t have any major health problems. Stay active and start doing sports to keep yourself in shape. Venus and Mercury will bring in lots of good energy in the first half of the year, but it needs to be used constructively. The second half of the year might ignite an artistic pursuit that could satisfy your soul. Watch what you eat to stay healthy throughout the year.

Venus will help you improve your relations with co-workers, and Mars will give you the energy to keep going. Optimism is important. Scorpios in the science industry will have amazing success.

Love

Your love life will be better than ever this year, thanks to help from Mars and Venus. You may have to make compromises every now and then in order to keep your relationship free of problems. If you’re single, you’ll find the partner you’ve been looking for. If you’re married or in a relationship, you should share your secrets if you want to have a healthy and good relationship. 2017 is also a good year for marriage.

Finances You will not have financial problems this year. If you overspend during the first months of the year, don’t worry, the continuous flow of money will put everything in balance. Now is a good time for long-term investments.

Health

Your health will be better than it was before, and you’ll have lots of energy and be in a good mood often. Channel your energy into doing good deeds such as humanitarian or volunteer work. Pay particular attention to your stomach and nerves this year.

SAGITTARIUS

23 Nov to 20 Dec
Work
Work will take up a lot of your focus. Although you may work hard, only good work will be noticed, so you’ll need to make sure you don’t do a bad job. This year will be a good time to further your studies, especially if you think it would greatly improve your career prospects. 2017 will bring new contacts, which may be very beneficial for your career. Root out any misunderstandings with peers and authorities at work. Kick off new projects, because the timing is excellent and will bring growth and success.
Love
You’ll have an electrifying love life this year and will be far more emotional than the previous year. If you’re single, get ready for lots of fun times ahead. If you’re in a relationship, you’ll have to watch your words because they could lead to misunderstandings. People will find you very attractive. Venus might make it hard for you to make decisions when it comes to relationships. Sagittarians are advised to stay with one partner, as having more than one will make it super complicated. If you’re thinking of confessing certain issues to your partner, think twice. A steady relationship may be endangered because of a third party who will be extremely manipulative. Unwanted relationships need to be ended by any means necessary. Socialising will bring temporary fun but will not satisfy your emotional needs.
Finances
Your financial status will not be as rosy as the previous years’ and you’ll have to work really hard to make ends meet. Keep in mind that spending money on inexpensive things is far more dangerous than making large but wise investments. Family and friends will help you go through hard times. Long-term investments will tide you through the year and be useful for the future. You’ll have an easier time financially as the year unfolds.
