For me, 2018 has passed in a whirlwind, and as we approach the end of the year I am feeling the pressure to move forward with my ambitions and goals. While I am a firm believer that we shape our own destinies, knowing how the stars will influence what is happening in the world and in my life helps me prepare and better deal with the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities that cross my path.
This may be especially important in the second half of 2018, which promises to be a time of change, regardless of your zodiac sign. Find out what your sign can expect in the coming months to help you maximise your potential as the year draws to a close.
Fire Signs – Aries, Leo and Sagittarius
While you have probably felt like you have had a lot on your plate in the first half of the year, in the latter part of 2018 you may suddenly feel like you have more time on your hands. But don’t let your energy levels and focus drop. Invest this time in hobbies and creative outlets that have taken a back seat so far this year.
But while you are powering through, don’t forget to take time to relax. With Mars in retrograde you might feel drained of energy, so implement self-care routines to help you stay on an even keel.
With Uranus moving into the Taurus constellation, you might see some big, and possibly shocking, changes at the end of 2018. While worrying will be inevitable, these are changes that you need in your life, even if you can’t see it right away. Take this as an opportunity to step back and really understand what is important to you, and how these unexpected changes might be a blessing.
Earth Signs – Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
As Saturn transits through Capricorn, Earth signs will also see a lot of upheaval in the second half of 2018. The key to both enduring and flourishing in this time of change is to learn to adapt, which can be difficult, especially for stubborn Taurus.
A focus on clear and honest communication will also help. As Mercury, the ruler of communications reverses back and forth from retrograde several times in 2018, try to remain aware of where your failure to communicate may be having a negative impact on those around you and your relationships.
Also remember, while you can’t always control what happens in the world, you can control your response to it. If you stay true to yourself and maintain a positive outlook, you will come out of 2018 stronger and happier than ever.
Air Signs – Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
While you may be an independent person, in the second half of the year focus on supporting the people around you and connecting with your team of supporters. It is this team that will bring you the greatest joy and successes in the second half of 2018.
You have probably found yourself pulled in a lot of different directions in the first half of the year. Now is the time to define what is really important to you, and focus on those things. While you want to nurture your relationship with others, don’t be afraid to say no to things that aren’t in alignment with what you want and need right now. Good friends and colleagues will respect you for your decision, and appreciate that they get a greater part of your attention to the things that really matter.
You will have some struggles before the year ends, but just remember that not everything can be good all the time, and sometimes you need the bad times to make the good times shine brighter.
Water Signs – Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
Again, change is definitely the theme for the second half of 2018, perhaps more for water signs than any other. The best response to this turbulence is to go with the flow and bend to adapt to your new situation. This does not mean that you are at the mercy of fate – like water can carve through rock, you just need patience and determination to ensure your path is the one that you want for yourself.
As well as seeing changes in your life, expect to see changes in yourself. As Jupiter moves through the constellation of Scorpio, new experiences may change your perspective on some fundamental things. This may see you thinking or acting differently, but don’t worry, you aren’t losing yourself, you are growing and changing in your own unique way.
If you have plans that you are putting into action, you may see success in November as Jupiter moves into Sagittarius. But just because your stars are lucky, don’t sit back and wait for things to happen. Even if you are on the right path, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.
