Cosmopolitan South Africa — January 2018

JANUARY 2018 | COSMOPOLITAN 125

Lifecast
This year might not
start off like a party
but hang on – all that
adulting will bring epic
results soon. Switch to
game-on mode: sleeping,
eating, and being as
focused and responsible
as befi ts your grown-ass
self. That means fi ghting
for your vision at work
and, in April, asking for
a raise. By December,
you’ll get all the praise.
A restorative home that
feels in line with the big
life you’re building will
be a boon, so feather
your nest if you can.

don’t already have a cuddle buddy, you

might start warming up to a potential SO.

This is the time for someone thoughtful

and considerate who will pay attention

and get you. Your intuition and emotions

are both at an all-time high, so listen to

your gut and go for it. And with the rest

of your life getting serious, let yourself

relax and be playful with your boo.

Lifecast

You Leo ladies are so fi erce,

you’re basically the wonder

women of the Zodiac. This

year, new ventures will play

to your awesomeness. Don’t

waste time: lay the groundwork

for triumph now. That might

mean long hours working

behind the scenes – but

at the end of all the effort,

big opportunities will put

you in the spotlight. Come

August, everyone will see

the superhero you are. In

spring, fl ex your social

skills to grow your circle.

SUCCESS DAYS:

Lovecast

Your personal life will

be a priority at the year’s

start, especially when a

new love interest enters

your world in January or

February. By June, you’ll

be in peak honeymoon

stage, and you may

decide to take things

further by November.

Communicate so neither

of you sets unrealistic

expectations – and

get comfortable with

compromise (never

your favourite thing!).
