It's abundantly clear that your boyfriend needs to up his game in the bedroom. He's not necessarily bad, but he's kind of doing the same thing over and over again. If this were a girlfriend, then you could probably have a candid conversation about it, but he's a guy which means that he's going to be over sensitive. Thank heavens the Mars/Jupiter sextile this week gives you the ability to be straightforward and to just tell it like it is. All he needs are some pointers. Be easygoing and good-humored about it and you'll see a big improvement by Valentine's Day.

Everyone knows that you are capable of taking care of yourself and this includes the guy you're dating. You fought long and hard for your independence and you aren't going to do anything to jeopardize that. However, going out with someone who never asks for help, pays her own way and is proudly self-sufficient can make a fellow feel extraneous. Guys need to feel needed — kind of like Labrador Retrievers who need to be given something to do. You may never understand the point of throwing a stick and watching him fetch it, but it would sure make him happy.

Love doesn't have to be that complicated as you'll discover this week when you meet someone who fits you like a favorite sweater. He may not wow you with his looks or bowl you over with his six-figure salary, but it's clear that he gets you on a very deep and soulful level. He's comfortable, supportive, and it feels like you've known him for years. If anything you'll be hard-pressed to find anything that's wrong with him. The Venus/Jupiter trine shows that this could evolve into the relationship you've always wanted if you're willing to live without the drama.

You may not be doing much more than falling into bed together at the end of the day, but at least you're together. Jupiter in Virgo has certainly been putting you through your paces. If you're not physically exhausted from all the running around that you've had to do lately, then you're bound to be psychologically drained by others' constant demands for approval and attention. Thankfully your lover gets this — probably because his schedule is just as unrelenting as yours. Thankfully there will be a lightening up in the workload soon. March looks like a good month to get reacquainted.

For some inexplicable reason Virgo has acquired a reputation for being the most safe and unromantic sign of the zodiac. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you tend to be cautious, it's because of all the times you risked it all for someone you believed to be the real deal. Years of landing in the briar patch instead of a soft downy mattress have taught you to be more discerning, but discrimination still flies out the window when you fall for someone. Thank heavens the Venus/Jupiter trine on Feb. 9 shows that the person you're enamored with truly is Mr. Right.

What a difference a week makes! But that's because your ruling planet Venus will be traveling through much friendlier skies thanks to a series of trines and sextiles. These cosmic energies are ideal for patching up differences, rebuilding burnt bridges and having that conversation that you wished you had had before things got so vitriolic and nasty. It's nice to know that loved ones can be so forgiving, but then that's why they're called loved ones right? In any case it doesn't look like you'll be sleeping alone this Valentine's Day and that's the best astrological prediction of all.

It's been a while since you caught someone's eye so you'll be in for a tickle when Venus trines Jupiter on Feb. 9. Venus and Jupiter are famous for flirtations, dalliances and affairs. You could have a lot of fun this week if you're in the mood. And if you're not — or if you're already spoken for — then you can still enjoy this harmless ego boost. After all you're not the one who was doing the window shopping. Besides it never hurts to remind your other half that you're a hot chick and he should keep an eye on the store.

You may not feel like you're much to look at these days, but somebody else disagrees. Thankfully beauty is in the eye of the beholder and doesn't depend on such vagaries as confidence and a positive self-image to work her magic. However, you're in danger of missing the boat altogether if you don't key into what's going on. They say that love comes into your life when you're not looking, but there's a difference between not looking and clueless. Thankfully a magnificent Mars/Jupiter sextile on Feb. 13 shows you putting two and two together in the nick of time.

It's hard to believe that someone you've been crushing on from afar could actually be interested in you as well, but these are the sorts of things that happen when Venus forms a trine to Jupiter. This is one of the most romantic astrological combinations you can possibly have and the fact that the trine takes place in earth signs means that you will see your highest hopes realized. That's because earth energy is all about materialization. Earth energy also bestows stability, solvency, fortitude and longevity. In other words all the cornerstones you need to build a solid relationship that lasts.

A certain bane to your existence will soon be moving on. But before he does, you'll be surprised to learn that he always held you in high esteem. It's crazy considering that all he's done is pick apart your behavior, undermine your best efforts and poke holes in your aspirations. You thought he didn't like you, but the opposite is true. It only goes to show that negative attention is still attention which explains why he enjoyed getting a rise out of you. He's hopeful that you'll stay in touch. Smile and nod and then delete his number as fast as you can.

Sometimes your idea of love can get in the way of the real thing. What it stems from are some very fixed ideas (prejudices perhaps?) about how love is supposed to work. You see yourself as doing all the giving and the other person as doing all the taking. But what if this simply isn't true? The Venus/Jupiter trine on Feb. 9 will serve as a gentle reminder that most people are both givers and takers which means that we could all use a bit more give and take when it comes to finding the right balance in a relationship.
