Aries, March 21 to April 19
Love could be tougher than a two-dollar steak. Frustration and annoyance will be the rule and not the exception in almost anything having to do with romance. If you’re currently in the process of trying to make a connection work, pull back and let be for now.
Although you could meet someone who seems to be nice enough, chances are they aren’t what they appear to be. Be dubious and make sure you’re honored in all you do. If you decide to play, don’t get emotionally involved.
Wednesday, Friday and Sunday will give you the safest results.
Taurus, April 20 to May 20
Your strengths will be your most obvious quality; so don’t hesitate to let yourself be seen. Both work and play will provide you with opportunities to make good impressions on those you meet. This energy will emphasize your best traits. If you’re chosen for a leadership role, take it on without hesitation and you’ll draw love interests quickly.
At least three interested parties will be eyeing you with ulterior motives. Be open to the possibility and you should be able to pick and choose.
Tuesday through Saturday will make you noticeable and desirable.
Gemini, May 21 to June 20
Socializing is the key to your romantic happiness. Be a butterfly, flit from place to place and the bounty you sip could become invitingly sweet, especially as the week progresses. If you flap your wings properly, you’ll meet someone who has what you need and is willing to share their nectar.
Be on the alert for collectors. You need your freedom and won’t benefit from becoming a display or trophy for someone’s ego. If a relationship seems to be heading toward control issues, fly away.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are the best days to shove your proboscis into the flower of love.
Cancer, June 21 to July 22
A quickie fling could turn into much more before you know it. Fast love is the name of the game and it could pack more impact than you can imagine. This can be both a good thing and a bad thing. If you think it’s all about the physical, think again. Any delving into the realm of love or lust will impact you emotionally as well. Act accordingly.
Be prepared to meet several types who’ll want to take the game to the next level right away. Although you may be tempted to do so, make sure you know what you’re up to. Speed dating, chat rooms and all sorts of electronic connecting are implied here. If you do get involved, be sure to do so with safety.
All week is pulling you into high-speed romance.
Leo, July 23 to August 22
Don’t get caught just lion around. (It’s a Leo joke.) Be proactive in your search for romance and you should be able to meet an interesting new friend. By staying alert to all newcomers, you’ll be open to being seen and desired. Stay away from venues that have a phony atmosphere. You need a genuine person to be with.
Having fun is the best way to make yourself available. All you’ll have to do is enjoy and let nature’s pheromones do the rest.
Tuesday, Friday and the weekend will be the best days to get out there.
Virgo, August 23 to September 22
Stay firm in your resolve and stiffen your upper lip. Once you’ve waded through my obvious double entendres, be ready for whatever comes your way. You can have a dynamic week when it comes to physical love but the deeper side of it may be lacking. Unless you want to become fodder, or mudder, for the gossip mill, be careful how you proceed.
One person in particular is seeking to play with all of your toys, and you’ll probably be more than willing to share your toy box. If you do play, be careful and don’t try to make more out of it for now. Whatever you do, don’t fall in love.
The whole week will be a temptation.
Libra, September 23 to October 22
Find a new way to express yourself. If you’ve been unsuccessful making someone notice you, send up a new love-rocket. The form this romantic missile takes is up to you as long as you make it a novel and inoffensive way to draw attention to your interest. I’d advise against singing telegrams, strippers, pyrotechnics or cheese.
If you haven’t yet met the one you want to enthrall, go somewhere new and see what you can find. You don’t necessarily have to be completely genuine, although passing yourself off as something you’re not won’t work out in the long run. Remember, you’ll be stuck with whatever story you tell should the relationship stick, and no one wants to be forced to play the part of third cousin to a former gubernatorial candidate forever. (Okay, that was my story and I only told it once.)
Except for Tuesday and Saturday, emote all week.
Scorpio, October 23 to November 21
Unless you’re one heck of a poker player, don’t answer any questions you can’t be honest about. You could be tapped on the shoulder by more than one awkward moment this week, and each one of them will have ramifications that could bring lasting results. Although being honest may get you into trouble, lying will get you in even further. If in doubt, zip the lip.
This implies that you could be involved in a situation that demands tact or downright sneakiness. If you find yourself in such a pickle, deal with it quietly and in the moment. In spite of all of this, it could be a fun week.
Monday, Thursday and the weekend could be very interesting days for quiet romantic encounters.
Sagittarius, November 22 to December 21
If you don’t have a sense of humor you won’t make a dent in your love life. Laugh at yourself if you want to have the best chances of making new connections. You’ll have to be cautious or you could end up seeming self deprecating and pathetic. If you choose to laugh at someone else, do so good-naturedly or you’ll be tarred and feathered rather than adored.
Keep it light and stay away from melodramatic monologues about ex-lovers, expectations, or existentialism. Don’t worry; you won’t appear to be shallow, even though you may feel that way.
Friday and the weekend will give you a good window for smiling and whiling.
Capricorn, December 22 to January 19
Attitude may not always be everything, but this week it’ll sure help. Stay upbeat and find a worthy person, or crowd, with whom to share your enthusiasm for love and life. This may be in a local coffee spot, nightspot, hot spot or some new spot around town. (I’m seeing spots.) Anyway, you’re sure to be spotted and singled out as someone to get to know.
Speaking of spots, as all Coloradoans know, springtime brings Rocky Mountain Spotted Ticks. Don’t let someone get under your skin too soon or you’ll have to deal with unrequited love fever. Have fun but don’t get too deep too soon. I’m glad we had time for this tick talk.
All week is good for being romantic.
Aquarius, January 20 to February 18
If you’re trying to say it, you may have to spray it. Getting someone’s attention may be harder than understanding how Colorado water levels work. Be strong in your convictions and you won’t be misunderstood. If you’re being ignored, even after the pole dance, then you’ll have your answer. Knowing when to back off is also a part of the week’s energy.
The good news is that more prospects will want to see you twirl and swirl than won’t. This can make for a fun and energetic week when it comes to love and romance. I’m going to stress the romance part over the love, since I don’t think that will come until later. Have fun and be willing to participate.
The whole week is good for being on stage.
Pisces, February 19 to March 20
You’ll have them drooling in the aisles. Unless you have a good sponge mop, be aware of how you’ll be impacting others. By acknowledging your alluring energy, you’ll stand a better chance of seeing the signals sent by others who can’t wait to get your name tattooed on their (insert logical and least offensive to your sensibilities body part here). There should be no lack of interested parties, just look around you.
A social obligation could provide the surprise opportunity of the week. Even if it doesn’t seem to hold promise, go anyway. Just stay away from the prankster who likes to shock young waitpersons by putting their false teeth in upside down. (You just don’t need a big showoff in your life at this time.)
Monday’s the only day to say nay to being a lover.
