Aries: March 21st – April 19th

Your impulses. 

You have to take control over your emotions. You cannot lash out at someone when you are angry. You cannot quit your job on a whim. You cannot break up with someone because you suddenly feel suffocated. Think things through before you take action so that you don’t end up regretting your choices.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

Your grudges. 

You should be going into 2018 with a clean slate, a fresh outlook. You don’t want to waste the year thinking about the ex that cheated on you or the friend that wronged you. Leave those grudges in your past. Accept that those people are gone now. Don’t keep thinking about them. Don’t keep focusing on what is behind you, because it will stop you from moving forward.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

Your lies. 

You tell little white lies without even thinking, because in your mind, they are completely harmless. But in the long run, authenticity will get you farther than flattery. You can’t keep lying. Not to your friends. Not to your person. And certainly not to yourself.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

Your big heart. 

You are too nice. You do too much for other people and too little for yourself. If you follow your big heart, you are going to end up running all over the place, trying to keep everybody happy. But once in a while, you have to do something for yourself. You have to remember it is okay to be selfish. It is okay to care about you.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

Your stubbornness.

It’s hard to admit, but sometimes, you are wrong. Sometimes, you are the one who should say sorry. In 2018, you have to remember it’s okay to admit that you don’t know what you’re talking about or that you made a mistake or that you changed your mind about something. You’re only human. You screw up, just like the rest of us.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

Your planning. 

It’s good to know where you’re going in life — but sometimes, you have to be flexible. Spontaneous. Adventurous. You can’t always plan what is going to happen to you. You have to learn to live with change. You have to learn to think on your feet, because not everything can be planned out months in advance.

Libra: September 23rd – October 22nd

Your negativity. 

If you expect bad things to happen, then they are going to happen. You have to stop assuming that the world is out to get you. You have to stop victimizing yourself. Think positive. Think big. Don’t be afraid to let yourself dream because you are afraid to fail. You need to take chances. You need to be brave.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

Your drinking. 

Alcohol isn’t the answer to your problems. When you are upset, you shouldn’t reach for a beer. When you are celebrating, you shouldn’t reach for a shot glass. You shouldn’t rely on alcohol to numb your pain or increase your happiness. There are better ways to cope with life. You don’t want to become reliant on something so toxic.

Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21st

Your libido. 

You have what it takes to be a good boyfriend/girlfriend. You have what it takes to stay loyal. You just have to ignore your impulses. You have to make a conscious choice not to cheat. A conscious choice to stick to one person because they make you much happier than jumping from bed to bed does.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

Your work ethic. 

You need to work for a living. You need to make money. But you do not need to burn yourself out. You do not have to keep pushing yourself until there is no energy left inside of you. It’s good that you care about your career, but you can’t overwork yourself. You can’t sacrifice your mental (and physical) health for a paycheck.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

Your timeline.

You can’t compare where you are in life to where your friends are now or where your parents were at your age. You are exactly where you are meant to be. You can’t fault yourself for still being single or for not reaching your career goals yet. You are doing perfectly fine.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

Your exes. 

You have to stop texting them. You have to stop being friends with them. You have to stop thinking that there is a chance you are going to get back together with them. In 2018, start fresh. Find new people to offer your heart to. Don’t run back to the past. Don’t let history repeat itself.
