ARIES (March 20 – April 18)
You're going to feel wildly adventurous when the sun enters your zodiac sign on Thursday. Unfortunately your lover or spouse is feeling anything but. Chances are he's digging himself out from under a heap of heavy obligations and pressing commitments at work. Now this shouldn't discourage your romantic impulses; however, it wouldn't be wise to spring a surprise. You'll only wind up making him feel guilty about being a spoilsport. Coordinate schedules for an evening out or a weekend getaway. He'll grouse at first but he'll be secretly glad that you took the initiative.

TAURUS (April 19 – May 19)
It looks like you'll be turning heads this week thanks to the Venus/Uranus sextile on March 18. The only problem is that everyone's checking you out but the person you want to attract. Maybe that should tell you something. Perhaps you're working too hard to win him over or worse — maybe he enjoys making you jump through hoops for his own ego gratification? In any case the stars are showing you that there are plenty of other fish in the sea and that it might be time to toss the one you have overboard.

GEMINI (May 20 – June 19)
Venus traveling through that part of your solar chart that pertains to faraway lands and exotic locales says that your romantic prospects would improve by spending time in a different setting. Not only would this allow you to express yourself in ways that you can't when you're around people who know you too well, but a change of scene would do you good. If you can't get away, then try dating someone who hails from a different background. The stars favor any relationship that gets you to broaden your horizons and to explore your world.

CANCER (June 20 – July 21)
It's time to stop treating your lover like an illicit affair and to make things legit. There can be all kinds of reasons for keeping him under wraps. Maybe he comes from the wrong side of the tracks, is significantly older (or younger), or he's so unlike anyone you've ever dated before that your friends would go into collective catatonic shock. In any case he's getting tired of being treated like a dirty secret. March 18 would be the perfect day to come out of the closet (so to speak) before you get outed.

LEO (July 22 – Aug. 21)
Life at home has grown a bit flat lately so you'll be glad for the opportunity to be out and about thanks to Venus' sojourn through the sparkling and effervescent sign of Aquarius. Expect a wave of invites to hang with friends, to fraternize with colleagues after work or to travel out of state and even abroad. Part of you may feel guilty about wanting to spend time away, but it's always healthy to introduce a little separateness into your togetherness. This is what keeps the other half from turning into a ball and chain.

VIRGO (Aug. 22 – Sept. 21)
The reason you hold people at arm's length is that you're afraid of becoming too dependent. Self-sufficiency is your MO and you feel that as long as you can take care of yourself then you will never find yourself in a position where you are beholden to someone else. But keeping your distance comes at a cost. It can increase stress, feelings of loneliness and depression. Is keeping a stiff upper lip, emotionally speaking, worth it? That's the question you'll be asking on March 22 when Mercury conjoins Neptune. The answer may surprise you.

LIBRA (Sept. 22 – Oct. 21)
So why are you acting like you're on the market when you're not? Born under Venus, the planet of love and beauty, you like to know that you can seize imaginations, inflame passions and break hearts when you feel like it. Libras get restless when they feel taken for granted and this is when you go looking for attention. You might want to curb that impulse this week. You're on the verge of some exciting changes and you don't want to muddy the waters by introducing a soap opera that will only distract you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 22 – Nov. 20)
A certain someone will need to work harder to win back your trust. And from what you've seen so far, you're not inclined to hold your breath. Lucky for him that Mercury enters watery Pisces on March 17. Scorpio is a water sign too which means that empathy and compassion are never far beneath the surface. Indeed you regard these as your guilty secrets. You know what it's like to be on both sides of the fence — to hurt and to be hurt. It's why you'll soften your position and cut him some slack.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21 – Dec. 20)
Loved ones appear to be in a bit of a fog. You were hopeful that they had finally found their way, but now it looks like they've reverted to their previous status of rudderless ships. You have the Mercury/Neptune conjunction on March 22 to blame for this. Thankfully its effects are passing and you should see them back on course with their lives by March 26. However this does beg the question of how you're faring with your own personal journey. There's got to be more to life than being everyone's safe harbor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 – Jan. 18)
For some time now you and your spouse have been at odds over life at home. Maybe you're having trouble maintaining the dividing line between career and family, keeping up with the mortgage payments, or it could be a growing discontent with the way you live. In any case you will be making some substantial changes over the next few weeks. These won't be overnight changes, but rather small adjustments and that's good because it's the changes that are introduced gradually and over time that wind up being the ones that take.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19 – Feb. 17)
The Venus/Uranus sextile on March 18 is going to make you extremely popular. You've probably noticed the increase in attention over the past two weeks but this is when your approval ratings will soar. If you're going to date — which is highly recommended right now — then you need to be very business-like about it. Think of yourself as the next star on The Bachelorette. You'll want to take down names and numbers and sit down with your calendar to set up appointments. You will have a lot of people vying for your hand.

PISCES (Feb. 18 – March 19)
You know that you're infinitely understanding — you were born under the zodiac sign of empathy and compassion — but how do you know that he is? That's the question when Mercury conjoins Neptune on March 22. Whether it's putting on 10 pounds, maxing out another credit card on a shopping spree or quitting your job to write poetry full time, you will want to see how he reacts. If he's encouraging and supportive, then he's a keeper. If he starts scolding you, then this is your cue to walk. Relationships are a two-way street.
