ARIES – MARCH 21- APRIL 19

Is the object of your affection failing you somehow? Or are those some tricky issues from the past surfacing on the previously tranquil waters of your heart? Better ask yourself the hard questions before you go accusing your amour of any shortcomings. A whole new could-be sweetie could surface. Will you stay or will you go? Only you know. It's a question that will take some long, hard thought. But watch out! When you've made your choice, you're a romantic force to be reckoned with.

TAURUS – APRIL 20 – MAY 20

Things on your love front are hot and heavy. And ... complicated. Figure out how you feel about what and who and how and then write it all down. Just don't leave your notes lying around for your potential paramours to see! That's a super-duper no-no. Then get grounded. Talk about it -- all of it! -- with your friends. You need input! Don't rush out and buy that too-expensive box of chocolates or specialty roses. You're going to need that cash -- and those romantic impulses later. Make like the bank and save!

GEMINI – MAY 21 – JUNE 21

Yep, it's February -- also known as 'love month.' You're thinking about the big day. Whether Valentine's Day means hearts and chocolates or donning all black and drinking tea with your similarly single buddies, there's no getting around thinking about the big 'R' this time of the year. The big 'R' is for 'Romance!' That becomes abundantly clear. And before you decide that romance is a totally 'over' concept, well, give it a chance! You could be surprised! A potential partner might come up with an unexpected little treat.

CANCER – JUNE 22 – JULY 22

Whoa! Who's starting off the month in a torrent of conflicting emotions? Slow down, take five and call in some professional assistance (your best buddy or a talk therapist). Take a little more time for you and your on-again, off-again emotions. They need a little nurturing! You might try to jolt yourself into 'ready for love' mode. Don't push it or you'll overload the circuits! The big day's here. You know, the one this oh-so-romantic month revolves around. Good thing you're at your most charming.

LEO- JULY 23 – AUGUST 22

That Cupid could send a couple of stray arrows into some very interesting -- and unexpected -- corners. So keep your eye out for love in all the weirdest places. Bide your time, and if you end up working late on the 14th don't get yourself in a tizzy. There's plenty of love to go around not just on V-day. Remember, it could happen anytime. In fact, by the end of the month, you could have more love than you know what to do with.

VIRGO – AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22

Okay, so you think it's just about time for a little (or a lot!) of romance in your life. Lucky for you, that's what that chubby little guy with the bow-and-arrow carrying and wings thinks, too! Just keep a couple of ground rules in mind. Like: if you want it, you can have it -- you just have to reach out there and grab it. And: once you've got it, don't do any of that 'I'm not really sure I want it after all' stuff. If you didn't want it, you wouldn't have reached out in the first place, silly!

LIBRA – SEPTEMBER 23- OCTOBER 22

If your month starts off a little you-centric, well, that's how it starts off. Just don't go overboard. Watch out for a couple of tricky old 'issues' that could make a mood-altering appearance. Roll with it and sleep as much as possible. After all, you'll need your beauty sleep to prepare for the double-espresso-sized shot of romance that's coming your way. Make that two double espressos! You could be staying up mighty late! Kissing is better than coffee any day, right? Soon you’re in 'Relationship Land’ and it’s beautiful.

SCORPIO – OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21

Hey, what are you doing with that pink feathery bow and arrow? And where's Cupid? What did you say? This year, you've decided to take matters into your own hands? You're going to shoot a little 'love' in the direction you want it to go, and not leave it up to that unreliable little guy with the wings and the diaper? Well, good for you! You know just where you want to aim, and you're pretty much sure to hit a bull's-eye. The object of your affection is going to be ga-ga for you. You're on fire!

SAGITTARIUS – NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21

Well, well, well -- Valentine's Day comes a little bit early for you this month! So get ready! Because your feels-good, looks-good, smells-good brand of charm is going to attract a very special somebody who just can't wait for the 14th. Toss out the calendar and toss a salad (with extra 'love' dressing?). Soon, you two have really gotten into a groove. You're playing 20 questions, you're playing Chutes and Ladders, you're playing Twister! Wow! Hope happiness doesn't bore you, because it just keeps coming back.

CAPRICORN – DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19

You might find feelings for somebody going from zero to I-like-you in the blink of an eye! Is that German engineering? Or is it love? Pick option number two and you're likely to be right. Who knew you could fall so fast? The time is right to make your move; this isn't an opportunity you can afford to pass up! Whatever you do -- coffee at the local Starbucks or a picnic on a mountain peak -- they'll be impressed. Expand on this creative impulse. Forget flowers and chocolates and go for something really out there.

AQUARIUS – JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18

So you're dreading it: February. Love month. The ‘do-you-have-a-date-for-the-14th’ month. Take a deep breath and relax. It's not so bad! And romance -- it's supposed to be fun, remember? Just don't think about it, then you might find yourself staring real, honest-to-goodness love right in the face. It could turn downright mystical. You might feel like you've known this special somebody for a couple thousand lives. Just don't whip out your credit card to commemorate your feelings with too-expensive gifts, okay?

PISCES – FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20

A lucky coincidence could put you on a collision course with something that looks a lot like -- well, a lot like love. Do you run into them on your bike? Knock over all their groceries? Do they take you home safely and tell you about what they've been reading and it turns out to be exactly what you're reading? Hey, it could all happen just like that. Or differently. Don't worry, though: it will happen, and in plenty of time to organize one of the most high potency months in recent memory. You deserve this, don't you think?
