Your birthday year starts out with a sense of feeling exhausted and drained in the love department. There is someone who is taking your warmth and generosity for granted. You have kept your mouth shut for far too long, but now it is time to let out your mighty roar and vocalize that you are not happy about the situation that you are in. It is not necessarily a lover who is treating you like a doormat, but someone who is close to you, like a best friend or a family member. Your personal space may be feeling invaded in the months to come if you don't take necessary measures to put a stop to any people who are more trouble than they are worth. Be cautious of false flattery that manipulates you to miss out on the cold truth of a situation. The sooner you take care of the problem person, the faster you can move forward, and enjoy the rest of your birthday year.

Singles have it the best when it comes to love this year, as there are options laid out before them. Decide for yourself if you want another year of enjoying the perks of the single life, with no one to treat you like they are your mom or dad. You are high-spirited and hard to control in a relationship, unless the proper partner gives you the respect that you deserve. There are admirers around you, but it will be up to you to decide just how close they can get to your inner circle. In late-2017, you may feel disillusioned as the holidays pass by, as if you are missing out on a romantic time of year. If you are ready to pair up with someone, you may find that there are old and new lovers around you in the first quarter of 2018. One person is like a boomerang who keeps coming back. Another person is new, possibly a random chance encounter, who you can see yourself settling down with. You could also give a quiet person in the background a chance, and you may be in for a pleasant surprise or two. Where will your dating life be a year from now? There are multiple paths before you. Take a risk or two, if you are ready to shake things up!

Couples may be butting heads this birthday year. Leos will be envious of their single friends, and want to join them for some wild times. This could cause trouble at home with a jealous partner. Your possessive streak may become more dominant if your letting-loose nights cause a rift between you and your partner. Your partner may return the favor with some lies by omission, which will cause significant trust issues for your relationship. Avoid these pitfalls by bringing your significant other along (or at least extend an invitation). This allows you to avoid being hypocritical towards him or her. 2017 will end on a sweeter note, as the holidays bring you and your partner closer together. 2018, especially the 2nd quarter and through your next birthday, is a stronger time for the relationship. You are back to focusing on harmony, growth, and stability. A summer wedding could be promising next year!

Image is everything this birthday year. You are ready to upgrade yourself in a multitude of ways. It is good that you are driven to do this, as this can have a positive impact on your career life. Focusing on self-marketing will project to others the inner confidence and ability that you naturally have. You like to be well-groomed, but you may be stepping it up a notch and obsessing over something other than just your mane. It is a great time to buy a shiny new car, watch, or designer jacket. An important figure in your career path will be influenced by your external appearances and material objects. Think of the money that you are spending on yourself as an "investment".

Your career life looks to be on the move, especially in the beginning of 2018. Expect a transfer, career shift, or promotion that brings a financial boost to your life. Your head may be spinning a bit at how fast the world around you is moving. Your co-workers and superiors will be expecting you to make quick transitions. Your expected to learn fast and multitask. The stress and overwhelming feeling will disappear quickly thanks to the support of a friendly colleague. Take careful note of any advice that is given freely to you.

Your finances are in a decent enough spot for you to be able to spend a little extra in 2017. In 2018, starting in January, work back towards saving to recoup on some of the expenses or investments of the previous year. A promotion or raise that you have been anticipating will help you get back on track, too. Leos with careers related to sales, marketing, real estate, and tip-based industries will be thriving this year. Leos who are dissatisfied with where their career is at would benefit from a little re-branding and going back to school.
