Your job could get tougher with a lot of work-related pressure and harsh superiors bearing down on you, which may in turn result in a decrease in productivity. Endeavour to remain consistent and determined to deal with the tough work year ahead; it is better to look on the brighter side of things instead of changing jobs.
Career luck is looking good for you this year. Strong alliances with your colleagues will help you overcome resistance that could undermine your productivity, thus letting you showcase your talents to highly appreciative superiors.
Your career this year will be off to a rocky start. Focus on advancing your career instead of being distracted by petty people. The noise from these people will soon fade out and you can start reaping the benefits, such as a promotion and pay raise. Embrace the kindness of others if they offer help to maintain a stable career in 2018.
Your work life will remain stable; however, the presence of the Broken Star could cause disruptions between you and your colleagues. Stay composed around your peers and work diligently and you will gain the respect and help of your colleagues.
In terms of relations with colleagues, expect disputes stemming from misunderstandings to happen so be watchful of your interactions. Be wary of certain malicious colleagues who are looking to double-cross you. The presence of the Three Stages Star should help to reduce hostility in the workplace, but you should also do your part in improving your communication skills to avoid future work disputes.
Thanks to the presence of the Grand Duke Combination Star, there will be an abundance of auspicious tidings. You will build a blossoming rapport with your superiors, leading to more chances to showcase your abilities at work. Make sure you still leave time to rest, as you run the risk of overworking yourself.
At work, you might face massive pressure that will cause you to feel seriously fatigued. Constant conflicts and a negative work space could affect your work competency. Keep motivating yourself and build on your strengths to push through these obstacles. Although you feel like your career is stagnant, this may not be the best time to change jobs. Try to keep a more positive view on this situation and remain tolerant.
The first half of the year might be confusing for you. Begin by reshuffling career priorities, such as considering a change in job scope or company. Once you get your work life under control, start making grander plans and you will be able to execute them slowly but surely. The second half of the year will sharply boost your luck prospects – use this period to re-energise your work performance for the rest of the year.
Conflict in the workplace is inevitable this year. A difference of opinions with colleagues could be disadvantageous to you, leading to you being isolated. Attend social events and practise open communication to strengthen your bond with your colleagues, to prevent negative situations from happening.
Your diligence and persistence will be rewarded this year, so motivate yourself to strive for more career achievements and showcase your talents to your superiors. You will definitely reap the rewards in the long run. Be open to ideas and collaborative opportunities from the opposite sex to receive highly favourable work prospects.
You will encounter a stream of obstacles during work, such as overwhelming deadlines and difficult superiors, which could stunt your career progress through the year. Rectify this by remaining diligent in work assignments, and maintain good interactions with colleagues and superiors to make progress in your work.
This year, a huge workload could put you in an undesirable position, so hold off planning new projects for career advancement and focus instead on the current tasks given to you. Welcome job-related travel opportunities, because the lessons learned there will help you to produce better work results. Extra help from your friends will also contribute to a smoother career outlook this year.
