ARIES (March 21st to April 19th)


Horoscope 2018 - By Quinn


Normally a well balanced, unemotional person, you would probably be amazed if you were told you could go head over heels about someone this coming year. Well there is a strong possibility of just that happening. If it does, don’t fight it, just enjoy the sensation of being in love and leave ‘tomorrow’ to care for itself - for a while anyway. You’ll have to come back down to earth sometime. While you are up in cloud nine, if that happens to you, an old friend may try to take advantage. Actually you won’t have to do much about it, other than clean up afterwards. You won’t even have suffered greatly. The old friend however, will probably be eaten up with remorse. If you are thinking of making any big purchases this year, spring will be best for a house, summer for a car, and the autumn for that new equipment, Shop around carefully, there are bargains around for you if you look and you will need to save every penny you can because, there will be a very large, unexpected expense coming up at the end of the year. Not that you’ll mind of course, unless you don’t have the funds.


TAURUS (April 20th to May 20th) You are one of those people who love change, usually for its own sake. You get bored easily. Your concentration can wander if you are not wholly engrossed with the task in hand. Well this year, all that must change. You’ve got to stick to something rigidly, no matter how bored, discouraged or annoyed you get. It will be rough going but, in the end the rewards will amply repay all the effort you put into what you are doing. If you are a motorist, drive more carefully than usual. If you work with machinery of any kind, handle it with care, follow procedures, obey rules. Short cuts will get you no-where fast - other than your GP’s surgery that is. Watch out for your possessions in the early summer. Someone has their eyes on something you own especially. If you intend a long trip away from home, make provision for your most important things. Use a bank deposit, or a friend’s storage facilities if necessary, but don’t leave anything to chance. Observe all your security rules at home and at work and you should be OK. Emotionally there may be a new ‘interest’ in the offing. Could be awkward though. A close friend is also showing interest in this direction. You may have to choose!


GEMINI (May 21st to June 21st) You are supposed to be one of the wiser signs in the Zodiac. You, however, are about to show everyone this isn’t so unless you start thinking very carefully about what you are doing. Ordinarily it wouldn’t matter a jot if you made the odd ass of yourself. This year however, you are being watched carefully by those who would give you a better position. If you mess up, you will probably lose the opportunity of a lifetime. Do watch your digestion too this year. Over-indulgence will do you no good at all. It could even have far reaching consequences - especially if you put on too much weight. You may have to pop in to hospital for a small surgical procedure. Nothing to worry about here, i’s not a dangerous condition. It could end up being debilitating for a time though so don’t chicken out if you are called! Career-wise you should be exceptionally busy until the autumn when the usual pre-Christmas doldrums hit you. Don’t be complacent however, there might not be a revival unless you put your back into things at the right time. Don’t leave planning for this time, too long either. It really is never too early in matters like this.


CANCER (June 22nd to July 22nd) You will find yourself constantly being pulled in two directions throughout the coming year. What you have to balance are your own interests against your conscience. The latter will of course involve your responsibilities and duties to family, friends and employer. The former involves your future welfare, finances and prospects. You shouldn’t be selfish but, eventually, when you have only your own two feet to stand on, if you haven’t got suitable skills and experience, you won’t have very much to look forward to, will you? You will need to take care of your health. If you go ahead with what you want to do, you won’t be able to take time off for odd maladies. Nor will you be able to afford the time for routine treatments. If any of these are in the offing therefore, take the first six or seven months of the year to get sorted out by dentist, chiropodist, optician or what ever else you may need treating.


Do you like animals? Good, there may be a new creature in your life and it will lead you a very merry dance before it settles down.


LEO (July 23rd to August 22nd) You are one of those people who can see both sides of every argument. This makes you very annoying to argue with because you will as soon take up the opposing opinion as


your own and it doesn’t seem to worry you. It bothers those you argue with however, to the extent they may try to use it against you. Tread warily therefore, especially at work. You are susceptible to colds, flu and any other itinerant virus that happens by. You can’t afford to be ill this year so take every precaution, immunisations, Vitamin.C, or any other favourite remedy you fancy. Get sufficient sleep, relax whenever you can, don’t over-do things. It may be boring but, when you see what you have to tackle from spring onwards, you’ll be glad you feel fit enough to cope. Spend more time with your family, especially in the summer. You have neglected them of recent years and the time has come to make amends. Your other half too, could do with some extra company and support, so take the hint. Finally think hard about your resources. Finances may be tight but you do have realisable assets. It may be worth considering restructuring your finances or selling a few things. The choice is yours but think hard about the options before you act.


VIRGO (August 23rd to September 22nd) Beware unexpected acquaintances bearing gifts in the spring. Depend on it, they are after something, something moreover, you would be very unwise to give them. Beware friends with hard luck stories, asking for loans. You’ll never see them again, or your hard earned money. Beware ‘unbelievable’ bargains - that’s exactly what they are - unbelievable. Don’t accept unsolicited offers, there is no such thing as a free lunch!


All that apart, your year should be enjoyable and rewarding. You will gain a great deal of satisfaction from a job well done this summer. You’ll find your social life interesting and refreshingly different. You might even find you are better off financially than you thought you would be as next Christmas approaches. There seems to be some problem with animals around August. If you have booked your pet(s) into kennels, make doubly sure they are reputable. Try to find someone who has used them satisfactorily. If you are in business, caution about a new project will be no bad thing. The idea you will be presented with will basically be a good one but, and it’s a big one, who will benefit most from its development? Not you that’s for certain!


LIBRA (September 23rd to October 23rd) You may be in for hassle from a younger family member. You may be in for some heartache from this direction too. Don’t be pushed into doing things to help that will pull you down. Be hard. In this instance you’ll have to be cruel to be kind. In the end it will be seen who is the wiser. In the meantime, you may have to take a lot of flack from other family members and friends. There is a family celebration coming off this year too and you should be closely involved. Don’t go too mad with the spends though. You will have other calls on your finances as the year progresses.


Finances on the whole, won’t be too bad. You may not be as flush as you would like (is anyone?), but you’ll always be able to find enough for what you want. There will even be some unexpected luxuries. A blast from your past may set you back on your heels. It may even upset you. Actually you may find an unexpected advantage coming from this reunion though not necessarily involving the actual person concerned. There may be travel involved with all this and you could find yourself at the end of the year, in a quite different place and position.


SCORPIO (October 24th to November 22nd) If you are in to fun, this should prove a fun year. If you are of a serious turn of mind then it will probably be an annoying year because all those surrounding you will seem to be in a mood to make merry at every opportunity. As the memory of Christmas and the New Year fade, this will prove increasingly irritating and you’ll be tempted to send them all packing. Don’t do anything on the spur of the moment, you’ll live to regret it. Some friendships, even those of long standing, will simply not survive such treatment. Watch yourself around March or April. You may be a touch accident prone. Nothing serious mind, but it could be inconvenient, and it will certainly be expensive. On the subject of money, this may be a year of ups and down. You will have a number of large expenses and there may be a reasonable windfall on its way too. Don’t try gambling on the strength of this though because it won’t bring you in anything worth remembering. This windfall, if it comes, will be of an entirely different nature. You may receive some important news in the autumn. Don’t ignore it and don’t underestimate its importance. You have some very exciting times in the offing, probably next year but there will be preparations to make so be sure you’re ready.


SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd to December 21st) An old adversary might make contact in the autumn and try

to mend a few fences. Go carefully, there is probably a hidden agenda! Caution should be your watchword, occupation and hobby- wise, throughout the coming year. Take no chances, no short cuts. Follow procedures, rules and regulations and you won’t go too far wrong. Of course, if you feel you have to do some things in a hurry, take appropriate precautions first, just be extra careful that’s all!


Health-wise, follow the same policy. Avoid chills, infections and the results of neglecting your diet. Take regular, rhythmic exercise. Eat sensibly. Relax at least once a day - properly, and try not to get too uptight about anything. Socially you can afford a spot of reckless behaviour. You need to get out more, to enjoy yourself, to see a bit more of the world and life than has been your habit so far. Accept those invitations you might normally decline. Visit those places you usually feel ‘not quite your sort of thing’, you might be surprised just how much ‘your thing’ they actually are. Early on in the year, you might get an odd request from a family member. Think before you decide. Accepting could tie you up till next summer or even longer.


CAPRICORN (December 22nd to January 20th) This will be a year of change and opportunity - if you want it to be. A great deal depends on your attitude to those who have something to offer. As always, the stars can only show possibilities, not certainties. What you have to do is look at what’s on offer and act accordingly if you fancy it, simple really. There may be some money shortages around mid-summer. They may be difficult to resolve unless you take them very seriously. If you have to call on the services of your bank manager, be sure you have a good case made out or you won’t stand a chance. Don’t underestimate any health niggles you suffer in the spring. Colds can easily turn into something more serious if they are neglected, so can flu. Remember, nothing is as important as your own health and if you have to give up a few day’s work to recover from some seemingly minor malady, it could well save a longer period of inactivity later on. A family problem could get in the way of your social arrangements


around May/June time. Don’t shirk your


responsibilities, doing so could have long standing ramifications. The last thing you need this year, is a family feud especially as it could cost you a great deal of time and money to repair the damage.


AQUARIUS (January 21st to February 19th) You have always been a bit inclined to go at things without prior thought. As a result, you often have to spend time and energy sorting out the problems this can cause. This year you could get into serious hot water by continuing this habit. So, for your own sake, think carefully before you tackle anything, think twice before you give any opinions and plan every move you make well in advance. From the social point of view, if you have regard to the above, you will have a very happy year. You should be much in demand amongst your old friends and well supplied with new ones. If you are looking for romance however, you will have to look further afield. There are new relationships in the offing but an important one is not to be found close by. You are going to have to travel for what you want. Finances should be reasonable, there are no big deficits starred. However, a great deal depends on how you manage what you have. If you are careless, you will only have yourself to blame if some of your reserves start trickling away. Watch out for an unexpected announcement come summer, it could mean the end of a long-standing association and a small, but regular income.


PISCES (February 20th to March 20th) This should be a year of opportunity for all Pisces subjects. It also promises to be a year of change. How you use these changes depends on what you want from your future. You will have to be very single minded or the chances as they present themselves, will simply slip through your fingers. Money may well be something of a problem especially in the first quarter of the year. Be careful how and on what you spend your hard-earned cash, and don’t be too eager to lend any to ‘friends’, no matter how seemingly close or how ‘good’ the cause.


Health-wise, you should have few problems - other than those of occasional over-indulgence. Some of these however, may have far reaching effects on your social standing so, if you value your reputation, be very careful indeed. Think twice before you make any decisions. What you could do is consider your weight. You might be either over or underweight. Either way you will feel a whole lot better generally if you start sorting yourself out. Finally, keep a weather-eye on one of your friends. This person is heading for trouble. Make very sure you don’t get drawn into it too.
