< Previous- PAGE 90 - SMART HEALTHY WOMEN MAGAZINE12 SIGNS OFRESOLVEby Estelle WilliamsYes, it’s that time of year again and we are all either swearing to stick to our guns with our resolutions, else we’re declaring that resolutions are so not where it’s at any more and so we’re definitely up for seeing where the wind blows us. Fortune favours the brave after all!When it comes the talent for resolve of each Sun Sign, being able to make a declaration for the year’s intentions or setting solid goals differs vastly, according to the temperament, bearing, fortitude and focus of each element, and each innate talent for action, consolidation or reflection that one possesses.For example, the Taurus girl, being of the essence of Earth and of a Fixed nature, will find setting tangible goals for the year a piece of cake (oh, and I don’t mind if I have a piece of that thank you!), while the Sagittarius babe, with a shake of her mane will use her Fiery Mutable nature to change her desires whenever an exciting new frontier presents itself. MAY 22-JUNE 20MUTABLE AIR ~ RULED BY MERCURY MARCH 21-APRIL 20CARDINAL FIRE ~ RULED BY MARSAPRIL 21-MAY 21FIXED EARTH ~ RULED BY VENUSAriesThe Ram lass is a hard one to pin down to set her resolutions in stone. She leads with her head, and wants to rush into whatever choice seems the most exciting, no matter how dangerous. She is the pioneer and wants to lead the way, so no boring goal setting for her, she goes out directly and gets what she wants in the moment.TaurusAs we mentioned, the Taurean lady will have her goals and wishes set firmly in stone, and there’s no last minute scrambling to get her resolutions finished. She knows what she wants, and in fact she probably already has it secured, or else soon will. Creature com-forts, luscious and sublime, you’ll know when she’s achieved her hearts desire, oh no! Watch and learn.GeminiNow as much as I love the Gemini talent for enquiry and fun, when it comes to sticking to a resolution or two, it’s hard to say wheth-er this girl will stay the course to manifest a solid result. There is just too much choice, and what if she makes the wrong one? Best to leave her options open, so that she’s flex-ible enough to seize the day!- PAGE 92 - SMART HEALTHY WOMEN MAGAZINEJUNE 21-JULY 22CARDINAL WATER ~ RULED BY THE MOONAUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22MUTABLE EARTH ~ RULED BY MERCURYJULY 23-AUGUST 22FIXED FIRE ~ RULED BY THE SUNCancerYou can bet the Cancerian will have her claws set in motion for gathering more se-curity, love and family connections as part of her plans for 2018. Nothing makes more sense than to gather one’s comfort around her and plans for im-proving and upleveling her home are sure to be on the agenda for 2018.LeoThe Lioness is of the essence of Fixed Fire and that means that when she decides she’s going to conquer the World as part of her plans for 2018, then she’s going to stick to it until it’s achieved. But she’ll do it in such a charming, warm way that you won’t even notice that you’ve been conquered and made a devoted subject until it’s too late.VirgoIf anyone is going to have her plans set up, indexed, categorised and ticked off in sequence, then the Virgoan gal is your pick. She has already figured out what needs to happen this year and is already half way down the path to organising it. You had better keep up if you want to find out what achievements she’ll make this wonderful year.OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21FIXED WATER ~ RULED BY PLUTONOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21MUTABLE FIRE ~ RULED BY JUPITERSEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22CARDINAL AIR ~ RULED BY VENUSLibraThere’s a lot to consider when the Libran lady decides to set her intentions for the year. One can’t be too hasty, and also it’s bad taste to divulge too much about your hopes and wishes, lest your friends and family be-gin to tell you that it’s impossible. World peace? Huh! But she really likes to dream that a fairer world is coming and who can blame her?ScorpioDon’t ask! If anyone can keep a secret it’s the lass with the sting in her tail. Those nosy parkers are always wanting to know what her plans are for the year ahead but if they really knew they’d be shocked! But really the Scorpion just wants the freedom to have her own thoughts and feelings without reference to the expectations of anyone else.SagittariusWe’ve mentioned that the Centaur is going to have freedom and adventure as her focus for the new year and it’s so exciting to her that there’s a whole world to explore or to discover anew. Whatever her intentions for the year you can be sure that expanding her horizons, whether physical, mental or spiritual, will be on her list.- PAGE 94 - SMART HEALTHY WOMEN MAGAZINECapricornJanuary is the month when the Sun is in the sign of the SeaGoat, and therefore she has a natural affinity to set goals, dream of future achievements, and hone her skills to take her reputation to new heights. She may be ambitious, but it’s not without kudos to her immense talents and ability to manifest her desires.JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18FIXED AIR ~ RULED BY URANUSDECEMBER 22-JANUARY 20CARDINAL EARTH ~ RULED BY SATURNAquariusWhatever the Aquarian girl has up her sleeve for this coming year, you can be sure it is going to be offbeat, surprising or unusual in some regard. With an eye to the future and an ear to the ground for coming trends, she is ahead of her time and will lead the way to a new dream and a new way of seeing the world.PiscesOh Pisces, without her dreams of a better life and a better world we’d all be stuck in drudgery and servitude. While she may have a somewhat Pollyanna outlook on life and what’s she’s hoping for in the coming year, what’s wrong with that when people around the world are losing hope and need to believe that there is good in people, in nature and in the future?FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20MUTABLE WATER ~ RULED BY NEPTUNE- PAGE 82 - SMART HEALTHY WOMEN MAGAZINERemember, YOU’RE CREATING A LIFESTYLE THAT IS MAINTAINABLE FOR A LIFETIME, NOT A SEASON, SO IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE LITTLE VICTORIES ALONG THE WAYSMART HEALTHY WOMEN MAGAZINE - PAGE 95© 2013-2017 Smart Healthy Women Magazine.
