Romance - how you act

Success is so important to you that serious, steady effort is vital. You choose your ground and go your way carefully, persistently taking yourself exactly to where you know you have to go. This cautious determination can make life hard for yourself and those around you. Your polite manner attracts support for the task in hand. Pleasure on the way is often denied for the sake of sure success at the end. Beware of creating burdens by your need for achievement and the security it brings. Your sense of responsibility is your shining armour. Let it also bring you joy.

What you think and say about love

You guard your words carefully. What is said has to be useful, or it is not worth saying. When you do make a point, you push it with firm persistence. It is difficult to listen to others and accept you might be wrong. Conversations and "too much mental activity" can seem an irritating distraction. The crucial thing is to set out systems and techniques and carry them through, quietly and effectively. Your words carry authority and conviction. You are not a person to be denied.

How you create opportunities for romance

You create opportunities by plunging expansively into new situations. You constantly need to be bursting into fresh adventures and projects. You are fun to be with, always willing to "have a go" at anything exciting. Be aware you may be creating more expectation than you can accomplish. To experience more than the exhilaration of making a start is not so easy. Be realistic. Know what you want and persist.

When you are in love

Your appetite for love and sensual experience is insatiable. You are fascinated by physical contact and drawn towards dangerously deep sensations that just cannot be denied. Conventional morality is less import-ant than the truth of contact in the moment, but you fear being overwhelmed, or lost in the experience. Your appetite both excites and threatens your lovers. With you they know what they dare not lose, but fear they cannot keep. Yet those you love can be yours completely. When fidelity is confirmed by truth of contact, love will last and heal. To know another in total intimacy is your dream. It liberates and so makes you secure.

Romantic approach

Your style is immediately brilliant and exciting. Your quick, cutting wit leaves lovers breathless, but can also hurt. The joy of talking and contradicting is innocent play to you, but be aware you may be ruining everything, by saying the wrong thing. You will tend to attract to yourself lovers who challenge and disturb your mind - often by accusing you of doing just this to them! Experiment with pausing and thinking a little before you talk. Be in control of conversations, not their relentless victim. Look for someone, who loves everything about you, but has the vision and strength to make you comfortable.

What fascinates you about love most of all

You are of the generation that seeks wonder and meaning in far away places and ideas. You need the freedom to explore widely, both inside and outside yourself, to know and be with everyone and everything. You can move other people on to exciting new opportunities and values. Beware of trying everything, but missing the need for a plan. Life offers you so much. Develop the wisdom to go all the way.

Saturday 14th

Be as positive as you can

Lacking energy, today you will be less active than usual and feel more inclined to laze around doing as little as you can. Postpone major decisions or tasks until your energy level increases and your frame of mind is more positive. Personal relationships could also feel the strain, especially if you have recently been choosing to ignore or neglect pressing problems.

Also on Saturday

Enthusiasm

Full of energy and raring to go, nothing will be able to stop you or get in your way during this time. You constantly strive to achieve your desires. Passionate emotions will be difficult to control so your love life should become more sensual and romantic. New love affairs will be intense, but short-lived.

Also on Saturday

Being social

Feeling sociable and easy-going, this would be a great day for a lazy get-together with good friends, loved ones and family. You will talk about times gone by and dream together of the future. Problems with lovers can be talked through. Once the air is cleared you will be able to look to the future. Business deals should run smoothly.

Tuesday 17th

Lady luck

Lady Luck could be calling during this time, so make sure that you leave your door wide open!

Spend as much time as you can with your lover - this could be a tremendously romantic period.

Friday 20th

Stability

Now is the time to sort out problems in personal relationships. If you are unattached you could now be drawn to a new relationship with the promise of a stable, secure and lasting love.

Wednesday 25th

Take a break

Lacking energy, you will be more inclined to sit around and do as little as you can during this time.

Personal relationships could also feel the strain, especially if you have been choosing to hide or ignore pressing problems.

Made in heaven
