2018 will be a year full of hard work, but it will be well worth it in the end.

According to Astrology.com, a full moon in March might be the best time to look into new career opportunities and start with a blank slate. And while you might feel frustrated with all of the hard work you're doing, SunSigns.com says you should keep working through it.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

If you were feeling restless at work, then 2018 is your year, Scorpio: it's time to try something new.

You're encouraged to try something new and to start thinking outside the box. Just don't get too crazy. Astrology.com warns, "Proving yourself seems to be your top priority, but in doing so you run the risk of missing out on some amazing chances."
