~Edgar Cayce

6th Chinese Zodiac Sign-Snake (Western Zodiac Virgo)– born in these years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013. Your wisdom will grow during the year, making this an excellent time for the snake often referred to as the Great Wisdom- the Kundalini. You will be attracted to all that is connected to or related to spirituality, which will become the focal point of your life. This new focus will create an inner evolution that will result in a search for your life purpose and destiny. You will suddenly find yourself making career choices that focus on humanity and are in service to others.
Finance: There may be a few bumps in your financial road on the way to success. With your new-found focus on others, it is essential that you watch your expenditures or you will end up in debt and unable to help anyone financially, including yourself. This is a year to be frugal and be mindful of the law.
Love: This is the year of activity. If you are in a relationship this is an excellent time to create a project together or combine one you are both doing separately. Be cautious of allowing monotony to creep into your relationship. If you have been considering having a child this is an excellent year to start or increase your family. If you are single but in a relationship, this may be the year you will get engaged and begin to plan your marriage. If you are single and yet unattached 2018 may be the year your flighty heart gets kidnapped. Enjoy the ride.
Dreams: As the snake, you are the symbol of the Kundalini, Great Wisdom, in your dreams. To be bitten by a snake in your dreams is to absorb knowledge; The more significant the snake, the higher the wisdom. Your nightmares will be messages of health and love in disguise. Embrace your nightmares, face your fears, and you will prosper in health, wealth and love. Ignore your dreams and they will haunt you until they get the respect they deserve and demand.
7th Chinese Zodiac Sign-Horse (Western Zodiac Libra)-born in these years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2014. The Brown Dog Year will be a lovely time for Horses to enjoy themselves as the year may contain many surprises. It is crucial for you to be forewarned about this because as a horse you abhor the unforeseen. Tune into your dreams for hints to changes on the horizon.
Finances: It will be in your best interest to act quickly if changes appear to disrupt your career and financial schedule. Your income schedules may bounce from high to low during the year. Do not worry unnecessarily if your income drops lower than the previous month. It is all part of the financial process of ups and downs. Focus on safe investments.
Love: This year will be more favorable to peaceful love relationships than to an electrifying love at first sight rollercoaster ride. Do not be doubtful of your abilities to attract the perfect mate for you. When the time is right you will find the necessary resources within yourself to make the most of a love opportunity that will create a condition of change in your life. If you are married this is a good year to embark on a new and thrilling love project. If you are single but in a committed relationship, this year may be a bit rocky for you. This will be an excellent time to reconcile and make a new start at something more permanent. You have a unique opportunity to create a lasting encounter at this time. If you are single, only focus your time and efforts on contacts with serious prospects. Just don’t get too carried away with perfectionism. Long-term commitment is on your amorous horizon.
Dreams: As the beautiful horse you are the symbol of the messenger in the dream world, so expect your dreams to contain answers to questions you have in your waking world. This is the perfect time to set your dream intention to become an avid dreamer and watch your messages manifest.
8th Chinese Zodiac Sigh-Goat (Western Zodiac Scorpio)- born in these years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015. The Dog will be an excellent year for the Goat. 2018 predicts a year with pleasant surprises, especially in your career and love life. However, there may be some obstacles thrown in your way by life. Not a problem for the mountain climbing goat like you. Get on top of the situation and look down on it from a different point of view. Your challenges may often be a matter of putting things in their proper perspective.  Now, in order to face the year’s problems and make the most of them, you’ll need to be in good mental and physical form so start a work-out program and give top priority to your health. During times of stress, you need a stable and balanced lifestyle. This year focus on a proper diet and regular medical checkups as a good defense against health issues.
Finance: “Decisions, decisions!” are the words that describe your financial year. This year is going to be your year of invitations; both receiving and giving them. You are likely to spend more time during this year at various functions. The positive aspect of this is it will be a great way to meet and make new friends.  The downside is you could be faced with some difficulties in trying to turn down some of the invitations, especially the ones related to your business or career.  Hence one should make the best of such occasions, considering them as an investment or enhancing public relations.
Love: You are tired of the same-old-same-old. Routine in love will be your worst enemy this year so do not let yourself get stuck in a love-rut. No matter how attached you are to your methods, daily habits will get you down and you’ll have the desire to change everything in your love life, including people. Old habits are hard to break but you can do it easier with love. Perhaps it’s time to make extensive plans to take a romantic trip together to break the monotony. It does not need to be an expensive or lengthy trip, just something different. Your goal is to revive passion in your relationship. If you are single, do not get caught up in a relationship based on pity or drama just because you are feeling lonely. How will you find your soul mate if you’re wasting your time with the wrong person and their problems?  Instead of making plans for the future, live one day at a time. Profit from the pleasures that come within your reach, and you may find someone within that reach.
Dreams: As a Goat in dreams you symbolize abundance and mirth. Even to this day in some countries, a family’s wealth is determined by the number of goats they have in a heard. The phrase, “Stop kidding around” comes from the joyful antics of young goats known as kids. Let your inner-kid run wild in both your waking world and dream world. Your dreams in 2018 will focus on communication. You will see many aspects of yourself in your dreams. Get to know yourself better through journaling your dreams.
