Lifecast

Breaking news: this is the year you

learn to put your needs fi rst. You’re

going into 2018 needing self-care and

refl ection, so fi nd a way to give yourself

that space by leaning more on your team,

both at work and with friends and family.

Seeing everyone come through for you

will feel great – you just need to give

them the chance. A career shake-up

in April could set you on a new path

that’ll bring everyone together to cheer

for you and your success in September.

SUCCESS DAYS: 13/6, 9/9, 9/11

Lovecast
The love bug will bite
when you least expect
it. In January, you and
your boo will be in sync
in more ways than one

• which means a whole
  lotta sexy time! But
  make yourselves leave
  the cocoon now and
  then – time with friends
  will only intensify your
  connection. If you’re still
  buzzing around on your
  own in July, one of your
  most alluring moments
  of the year, a super-sweet
  suitor might capture your
  heart. You’ll be tempted
  to keep things on the
  DL, but just be sure
  your other half is
  feeling the secret.
  SEXY DAYS:

Born in September?

Your birthstone is the

royal-blue sapphire.

It stands for wisdom,

and helps to ward

off evil.

Lifecast

You pull off focus

and fl exibility with

so much ease, and you

know exactly what you

want. Some awesome

job opps will open up

• just because they’re
  not what you expected
  doesn’t mean you
  should automatically
  pass. February brings
  new beginnings, and
  a meeting in May will
  yield an aha moment.
  Resist distractions in
  July, when you’ll be at
  your most productive,
  then let your focus shift
  home in the spring for lots
  of QT with loved ones.

Lovecast

You’ve a lways been

a social butterfl y but

now your charm is extra-

irresistible. Your love

forecast for the fi rst half

of the year is smoking-

hot. If you keep things

light-hearted in June,

August could bring

something serious.

More than one of your

major relationships could

reach a turning point,

so keep your priorities

top of mind. When your

nurturing side shines

through in October, make

sure whoever you’re with

values snuggle time as

much as a big night out.

SEXY DAYS:

18/1, 6/3, 6/8

Born in October?

Mystical opal, swirling with pastel shades,

is your birthstone. It’s known for bringing

confidence, and symbolises faithfulness.
