In the New Year, love is inexplicable and exhilarating. The Sun consummates your desire after it moves to Aquarius on January 21st. Between February 8th and 19th, show your knight in shining armor some appreciation, and you'll be included in this person's long-term plans. Self-indulgence and fantasy are tragically easy by the beginning of March. All the planets are direct for nearly three weeks, a rare opportunity that should be spent in the real world building a real relationship. If you haven't asked important questions by the 20th, they'll go unanswered for a while. For the first month of Spring, your someone special is arrogant or hard to get. Your dance calms down by April 21st, when the Sun enters Taurus and Venus takes over the party. Neptune retrogrades on May 13th, melting away your defensive edges and opening a window for love. You're lucky to have a supportive cosmic environment when your blossoming romance makes for such a rich, fascinating and turbulent inner life. It's Spring fever in the best way. Summer is a different story, at least if its first chapter is any indication. The Cancer Sun turns love into a clinging force. If you're the one snowed under by this outpouring of affection, you'll probably run for higher ground. Leo and Virgo treat you kindly from July 24th to September 23rd. Fun softens an intense relationship. With the pressure off, it's easier to pick up the pieces or start over with someone more agreeable to your temperament. People in therapy or seeking advice make significant progress after August 26th. As the Sign of partnership, you find success in romantic matters when the Sun is in Libra from September 24th to October 24th. Intelligence and communication are big attractions as Mercury goes direct on the 6th. Harmonious personalities are just as important as physical compatability. By the end of the month, new couples settle into a delicious routine that looks like it couldn't get any better. Bring your lover home for the holidays to show how your life has taken a turn for the better. All this talk of settling and domestic life could be the first step toward something more final and permanent. Winter time is always best when you can snuggle up with a companion.
