LOVE: When Mercury retrogrades on January 2nd, it's a sign that your relationship or courtship style needs some adjustments. You're open to supportive criticism, and willing to make the effort. A large, well-intended gesture might look insincere near the 16th. If so, tender feelings are soon exposed to Winter's spreading chill. Now you know what to avoid, but it could be at least a month before your next chance. After February 20th, you can grant someone else's desires without looking like you're submitting. If love is in the house, you'll do what's necessary to make it a long-term visit.

A change of circumstances leaves you feeling a little off-kilter. The sensory fireworks of some new infatuation drown out the steady music of commitment. You hold no grudges in the beginning of April, although you're capable of some things that will astonish even yourself. By the 21st, you find a comfortable relationship. Here in the moment, you don't care whether it's ideal. You're living in a dream world after May 15th, but romance can be delicate and needs to be sheltered in its first stages. Outside events won't concern you for the next few months.

You have no trouble expressing your feelings between June 22nd and July 23rd. As long as you get what you need, everyone is wildly happy. Passion is a destabilizing force after the 29th, but you were probably ready to be head over heels anyway. Catch your breath and look ahead to the end of August. The Virgo Sun grounds you around the 24th, and you consider a shared future in practical terms. You have until Summer's end to see this romance for what it is and shape it into what you want it to be.

Eyes wander and promises restrict you in late September. You can't help feeling awfully tempted by someone new. By late October you may make a break with the past, and it feels fine to be free. Events after November 8th draw your attention to those foibles that will always be with you. Build friendships and spend time with family. Let romance come looking for you. If it doesn't find you, go out seeking it in the New Year.
