Round-UpGood Luck Charms: Wristwatches For You Based On Your Zodiac Forecast For 2018

DNA, fingerprints, irises all set us apart physically. But on a more cosmic level, there is something else that differentiates us from each other. Like they say, ‘it’s written in the stars’! Whether you’re an atheist, a novice, or a full-fledged believer in the predictions based on the alignment of your stars, we like to believe that your zodiac sign does influence your personality and tastes. So, The Watch Guide is donning the astrologer’s hat, as we suggest a luxury wristwatch that is meant for you, and will match your 2018 forecast to the T.

Aries

Just like your zodiac symbol, the ram, you’re bursting with energy and follow your natural, impulsive instincts. The year, 2018 is going to be an electric year for the Aries. Ruled by the element of fire, 2018 will see you slogging on the work front and butting heads with folks, but your perseverance is going to pay off in the latter half of the year. We know it’s hard for you to control the splurging spree, but unless it is on a watch like the one below or something worthwhile, stay clear from swiping your card. All in all, a little caution would prove 2018 to be one of your easiest years to sail through.

Suggested Watch: Oris Aquis Date

Fiery, like your sign, the Oris Aquis Date is Aries’ best match for a wristwatch in 2018. The watch comes in a 43mm stainless steel and grey PVD case. To complement your energy level are the quirky dial and bezel. While the bezel has a ceramic top ring with a minutes scale, partially in orange, the black dial has indices and hands laden with dark orange SuperLuminova. The orange rubber strap adds to the electric appearance of the watch.

Taurus

New Year and a new, charged-up bull! It’s focused on your stability and peace, and only radical behaviour from your end can disturb that. At the moment, all aspects in your life are on an upward slope from work and finances, to your love life. Keep your temper under check, as it may stir up a storm in still waters. You’re an epicurean, yet very hard-working and that’s the spirit you need to keep up this year as it will promise a plethora of possibilities for you.

Gemini

Welcome to a happening 2018, Gemini! This year is all about exploration for you. It’s no surprise you’re bustling with energy, as Jupiter is aligned to emotionally uplift you. The twins are likely to be social butterflies in 2018 and getting your way through any obstacle wouldn’t be a task as you are laden with the chance to connect and engage with people who matter. Oh, and single Gemini folks will most likely not hold on to that tag for long as cupid is sure to strike with complete passion.

That’s because in January, the moon transcends from Gemini to Cancer, gifting you the skills to balance out your work, family, finances, love, or anything else. Your hands will be full this year, so make sure you prioritise what takes precedence, or you could land yourself in a soup. Some extensive and powerful changes await you – some in favour and the others not so much – but be sure to stay firm on your viewpoint and believe your instincts.

Leo

In 2017 you were plagued with anxiety and stress, but 2018 sees you bounce back with more focus than ever before.

Though you’ll be in good shape through the year, your soul and mind might be weary in a few phases. There is an abundance of travel and maybe even relocation on the cards for you. Above all, it will be a good year with a few roadblocks, but only the blessed Leo lion can roar and charge through the obstacles.

Since, you’ll be left with no time to introspect, courtesy your busy social calendar, make sure you periodically take precautionary steps.
