For A Better Life, Based On Your Zodiac Sign, Stop Doing These Things In 2018!

Written by Chandrama Deshmukh  • 

New years have always been about new beginnings. At this time of the year, almost everyone looks at making new beginnings (read: resolutions), and everyone talks about turning over a new leaf. People make genuine efforts to change and start doing new things to make life more meaningful – to live each day like never before! Many also resolve to let go of bad habits like smoking or consuming too much alcohol. This year, we are asking you to give up not just the bad habits, but also certain aspects of your life that are holding you back from living to the fullest.

Here’s a complete list of things that you must give up in 2018, according to your zodiac sign!

1. Aries (March 21st – April 19th)

Not everyone can handle your passion and energy and you are aware of that. Perhaps a little too aware. Which is why you always try to tame yourself, even when it is not necessary. This year, stop hiding. Stop dulling your shine. For a change, let your fire glow and let the world see the real you.

2. Taurus (April 20th – May 20th)

It’s time to shake out of your reverie and look beyond your comfort zone. You are a bull, for god’s sake, and that means you ought to be breaking down barriers with those horns! Look beyond the walls of comfort that you’ve built around yourself. This year, challenge yourself. Step out and explore!

3. Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)

Somehow or the other, this past year, you’ve been faced with more challenges than ever. Or perhaps it just feels that way. And you’ve been constantly distracted. This year, it’s time to bid those uncertainties away. It’s time to put your foot down and say, “No. I will not be distracted. I will not be uncertain. This year, I will leave the past behind and focus on what is ahead, not behind.”

4. Cancer (June 21st – July 22nd)

Caring for others is not always a good thing, especially if it happens at the cost of your own comfort and happiness. You don’t know when to stop or where to draw the line. And this is detrimental not just to you but also to the people whom you’re extending your help. Because unless you are replenishing yourself from the inside, how will you offer help to others? This year, it is important that you look inwards more often and pay heed to your own need for love, care, and affection.

5. Leo (July 23rd – August 22nd)

Don’t let the past pull you back. Yes, there’s been a lot of baggage that you’ve been lugging around for far too long, and now is the time to drop it off. This is the year that you will finally let go of all the hurt and bitterness and embrace the absolute new!

6. Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd)

This year, all your past hard work will pay off. For all the sacrifices that you have made and all the pain that you’ve been through, just so that you could make the lives of others around you more comfortable, this will be the year that you can sit back and cherish the fruits of your kind labors.

7. Libra (September 23rd – October 22nd)

Even though your symbol is that of balance, life has been slightly off balance the past year. Things are not the way they used to be anymore and this thought troubles you to no end. But now, the old year has passed and a new year has begun. It is now time for you to let go of what’s happening in the world and focus on what’s happening in you. Because this is where true change will occur! From here is where you’ll also draw the energy required to make a real difference in this world.

8. Scorpio (October 23rd – November 21st)

Stability is not something that was your constant companion this last year. You have been through turbulent times and no one knows better than you how much you have been through. But there is really no use of thinking those thoughts over and over again in your head, while imagining the same scenarios with different outcomes because what is past is past – no amount of pondering can change that. Instead, this year, focus on the future for that is the only thing that is in your control.

9. Sagittarius (November 22nd – December 21st)

Patience is your middle name and you’ve been patiently waiting for that one person or that one event that will set you free. But, darling, you do know that no one’s coming to rescue you, right? Of course, you do. You also know that only you can be your own hero. So, this year, break those shackles that are holding you down. Fight for what you believe in. And let what you love, set you free.

10. Capricorn (December 22nd – January 19th)

You love to be in control and hate it when things don’t go as planned. That happened a lot last year, didn’t it? But the truth is, life cannot be in your control and the more you try to box yourself into the preconceived notion that you have of what life ought to be, the unhappier you’ll become. So, stop right there and embrace the spontaneity of life for a change. This year, just breathe and let life take its own sweet course.

11. Aquarius (January 20th – February 18th)

You’re unlike anyone you know. And trust us, that’s a good thing. Your little quirks and never-encountered-before self is what truly sets you apart. Hence, don’t let those nagging insecurities get to you. This year, kiss them all goodbye and say hello to the new you who is absolutely at peace. Invest time in loving yourself and accepting your strengths, because what you presume to be your weaknesses are not weaknesses at all. They are, in truth, your strengths.

12. Pisces (February 19th – March 20th)

You’re the most loving, accepting person anyone has ever known. You don’t judge people and take them as they are. But, while doing so, sometimes you open yourself up to the wrong people who hurt you and emotionally drain you. This past year has been like that with a lot of heartache involved. So this year, let go of those people who have just used you for their own ulterior motives. They never really valued you for who you are and you know how true that is. You know who they are. Let them go so that you may have space in your heart for the ones who really need you and love you.

How uncanny was that? Share this with a friend who you would like to see prepared this new year!
