Your key planet is Venus, which is associated with love and pleasure. She enters sensitive Pisces on Jan. 13 to spin a romantic web of compassion and spiritual sharing until Feb. 7. After four weeks in the wilderness of Aries, Venus moves into Taurus on March 5, which should make you more desirable to others and able to enjoy yourself until April 3.

There's a major shift in the wind on May 15 when sweet Venus shifts into reverse gear and moves backwards until June 27. This six-week retrograde period can make it harder to connect with someone new, but it's excellent for reviewing the past, clearing up miscommunication and getting a fresh perspective on love. Taking extra time to examine old patterns and current habits so that you can continue the helpful ones and let go of the rest is worth the effort. Avoid making serious commitments during this unsettled period, if you can.
