You may have your heart set on one fellow but it looks as if the stars have other plans in store. Jupiter — the "more the merrier" planet — opposes the sun on Feb. 6. This will introduce one, perhaps even two, other suitors. Jupiter, like Venus, can be a real love magnet — especially when it's traveling through the solar house of romance. It's not every day when you get to be the object of dueling affections like Lady Mary on Downton Abbey, so enjoy it. Chances are you've already made up your mind, but there's no harm in keeping them all guessing.

You're tired of being in relationships with guys who live outside your zip code. This would be fine if you were a Sagittarius (they love exotic men from faraway lands), but you're a Taurus which means that you want someone to come home to at the end of the day. The Venus/Pluto sextile on Feb. 7 shows that it's time to have that conversation. No big decisions have to be made right now. However, you will find you're both willing to make the changes that need to be made to bring each other into the same orbit.

Did you say "yes" too soon? That's what you'll be wondering when retrograde Mercury sextiles Saturn on Feb. 5. Gemini is the zodiac sign of options and choices. You play with variables like a child plays with vegetables on her plate. This is why you won't like discovering that you may have acceded to a lover's demands too quickly. Well if life has taught you anything, it's that what's done can be undone. That said, you should still wait until Feb. 19 to see how developments unfold. You might discover that you made the right choice all along.

It's entirely possible that those things you want in your love life are already happening. Yes you may still not have the commitment, the keys to his apartment or the ring, but sometimes we can get so caught up in our expectations that we miss out on what the person is giving us now. Take a couple of steps back on Feb. 7 when Venus sextiles Pluto and ask yourself if you're happy. Chances are that the answer is "yes." Live in the here-and-now and you'll find that the moment you've been waiting for will be here soon enough.

Be sensitive about the demands you are putting on a close relationship. Sometimes when you're going through a hard time it's hard to see that a loved one is going through a hard time too. Now this person's full platter may not be the same as yours, but it still seems overwhelming from his perspective. If you can't put aside your differences, then at least try to ease up on the bickering and the snarky remarks. It takes two to tango, but only one to change the choreography by introducing some new steps. Be that bigger person.

Sometimes people can give us glimpses into the kind of person we would like to be. Maybe it's a celebrity, a role model or even a chance encounter. If astrology teaches anything, it's that each of us is made up of a unique combination of planetary energies that reflects some aspect of the divine. It's an easy thing to forget in the hustle and bustle of our day-to-day lives, but the Pluto/Venus sextile on Feb. 7 shows that you will be put in mind of it quite suddenly. This experience will prove to be a heart — and soul — opener.

It takes a while for the penny to drop. Sometimes it's hours, and sometimes it's days. Eventually the penny does drop which is something you'll experience with your partner on Feb. 2 when the sun sextiles Uranus. It will strike like a bolt out of the blue. Maybe it's information that hadn't been shared before, a surprise revelation or a simple turn of phrase that makes things click into place. In any case he'll finally get what you've been trying to communicate to him about your relationship. It's a good thing too because you were beginning to lose hope.

One of the toughest things for a Scorpio to accept is when things go your way. Most people would be happy and eager to make the most of what good fortune lays at their doorstep.

You need to change your thinking or you could miss out on all of the benefits that the Venus/Pluto sextile on Feb. 7 will bring. This looks like the turnaround in your love life that you've been praying for.

It looks like you'll be running into someone you met months ago. There was definitely a spark at the time but circumstances weren't conducive for fanning that spark into a flame. Either you were already spoken for or he was seeing somebody. The wonderful thing about Mercury retrogrades (and yes Mercury retrogrades do have their plus sides) is the quirky way they have of reintroducing people back into your life. What was bad timing before could prove propitious now. Moreover, the Mercury sextile to Saturn on Feb. 5 shows that this encounter could lead to something quite serious.

When is a "friendship" no longer a friendship? When you start to feel about him the way that you do now. These sorts of things are known to happen when Pluto sextiles Venus (Feb. 7) because Pluto lays bare the pulsing emotion beneath. You have two choices about how to proceed. Either share what you feel (and risk rejection) or make an exit. Although your safe side opts for retreat, you might as well confess that you're attracted to him. Who knows? It might be reciprocal. And if not? Then he's friend enough to let you down gently.

You want to be supportive of your partner's dreams, but you don't think he's as committed to them as he says he is. Part of you wants to tell him to wake up and smell the coffee while the more enlightened side knows that if you did that then he'd only blame you for things not working out. You need to suck it up and to be in his corner — no matter how much it costs you in terms of time, money and sanity. What's important now is your faith in him. Who knows? He may just wind up surprising you.

You can tell that you belong together, but can he? As a Pisces, you're often cast in the role of explaining the deeper meaning of what's going on between you and the person you're attracted to. Sometimes it's old karmic business that draws you close and sometimes it's about healing his emotional wounds. So what's it going to be this time? Actually it looks like he's the one who has a clearer idea of why your paths have crossed. It's not every day when it's your paramour who's supposed to take the lead so tell him to lead on.
