Relationship challenges are on the the table for you this birthday year. You may feel like you are being tested, whether you are single or in a relationship. For many of you, it may seem like people are being too hard on you. Even those who unconditionally love you are giving you more grief than normal. The good news is that when problems do happen to be your fault, you will be able to talk your way out of trouble. Your gift at being an exceptional conversationalist will come in handy and is bound to keep things interesting. In Late 2017, you will be carrying a big secret that belongs to a close family member or friend. You will be tempted and enticed to spill the beans. Survive this challenge and you will gain the respect of those who entrusted you in the first place. Their undying loyalty is worth the frustration.

Singles will be bumping heads with some of their crushes and suitors this year. Don't be surprised if the one you are in love with is not returning the same affection in your direction. Shockingly, you may be going after someone who is a little out of your league (or unavailable) for a change. Even with all of your wit and charm, you can't turn everyone in the world's head your way. You may learn a valuable lesson in modesty this birthday year. As you get closer to the 2nd quarter of 2019, you will be feeling your confident self again. As always, you are a star to at least one special person in the world.

Attached Geminis face their own set of challenges. Your beloved prince or princess is turning into a bit of a tyrant in your relationship. You may find yourself bickering and squabbling over meaningless problems. Does it really matter who forgot to start the dishwasher in the long-run? Pick and choose your battles carefully. Power struggles are a central theme for you this year. The dominant (and sometime's naughty) twin in you is going to be pushing you to stand up for yourself. If the relationship cannot strive the stress, you may be starting out 2019 on your own. If you can't take your partner's heat, don't be afraid to step out of the proverbial kitchen and move on. You will not last long being the submissive partner to someone who is too abrasive and fiery.

The ongoing conflicts with others may carry over into the workplace, as well. Everyone faces a day where it seems like the world hates them. If your boss is being hypercritical about minute details, it may be for a greater purpose than you can see from your own point of view right now. Bite that tongue of yours to see how the 3rd quarter of 2018 plays out. Your co-workers are behaving like children, but that can be the nature of office politics. Rise above the crowd and aim to take the higher path. 2018 should end on a more positive note, with at least the scent of a promotion or raise placating your motivation for the time-being. Overall, 2019 is a year of reaping rewards for all of your hard work. You may have something to celebrate in time for your next birthday. 

Your active mind may be bored and dreaming of greener pastures as you approach 2019. Remember that every work environment has its own set of problems and bad apples. Before you make any big decisions this birthday year, do your homework and really research other options that are available to you. You might find your current employer is not as bad as you think. It may be a year to put a card in the office suggestion box versus finding a whole new office altogether.  Individuals who work outdoors, independently, or who are in management positions will benefit the most this coming year.

You may be feeling a bit impulsive, which will financially affect your nest egg. It's not a bad idea to leave your credit card at home when you go to the mall. That way you have to drive home and get it and decide along the way if you REALLY need that expensive designer purse or jacket. Frivolous spending is discouraged this birthday year. If you must spend, treat yourself to one luxury item and try to coast for awhile. Find non-monetary ways to reward yourself or to cheer yourself up. It doesn't have to be expensive to spend quality time with your family, play a game, or exercise. Saving and investing is highly encouraged this birthday year.
