2003 Love
forecast - all signs
Jupiter rolls its way through romantic Leo
until late August, promising one of the most amorous years in a decade. In some
ways the 9/11 terrorists did us a favor: they jogged us out of the selfish 90’s,
made us feel more vulnerable, more openly emotional and unafraid to show our
feelings. The industrial-techno lover with the cool sunglasses and distant look,
and the cold city femme with the scarlet lips and killer scowl will transform
into the round, clean, healthy, anxious, young, tremulously joyful faces of
unabashed lovers laboring to overcome the storms of the bigger world…
But love has another level, this year and for
the decade to come. Lovers will sense it Valentine’s Day - a magic, an
illusion-reality zeitgeist that makes love both entrancing and difficult to pin
down. Many people will chase will-o-the-wisps in the years ahead, and all of us
will be a little more inclined to dream than to knuckle down and have those
babies and build that backyard porch. So my advice to all young lovers is: be
practical, too!
This decade ahead, love-wise, belongs to the
water and earth signs - Capricorn and Cancer, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo and Scorpio
(at last, eh, Scorpio?). Gemini, Libra and Aquarius will almost be relieved that
the romantic express slows, allowing them to build a more stable life with
someone. Aries, Leo and Sage face a decade of “strange magic” in which
romance can hit the heights of serious progress or the depths of illusion. Pick
well, and respect yourself, guys...

Aries
- (March 21-April 19)
|
|
Your romantic luck soars until
September. If a love attraction began last year, accept a
temporary delay or separation until early April. This “enforced
breather” gives you time to listen to your instincts. If
they say “get out,” then go! By April, reasons to
hesitate disappear: love marches swiftly to its destination!
If you’re unattached, April through August could bring
true love. Look for it in international zones or in centers
of learning, travel, media, and law. Get a job at the U.N!
A serious flirtation occurs
in February, probably at a social function. A scholar,
traveler, professional, or foreign-born person rests their
gaze on you. In April, use your heightened charisma, energy
and style to chase someone. August brings a tender physical
affection toward someone who is very marriageable. October
shows you an attractive person’s intense side.
From June through December,
your limitations (temper, educational lack, an unsavory
secret?) could threaten to undo a really special love. Be
honest, charitable, and realize the world owes you nothing -
rather, you owe life. If you foster this attitude, love won’t
leave you!

Taurus
- (April 20-May 20) |
| Nothing’s
superficial in your love scene this decade. You’ll
experience mysterious attractions, powerful
subconscious urges, and feelings of destiny. In the
midst of such depths it’s crucial to be morally
upright. Strictly reject extra-marital situations.
They take far more from your heart - and your future
happiness - than they give. This warning should
stand in big bold red letters June through December,
when your social life will be littered with
temptation!
Handled honestly,
sensual desires steer you into situations of
domestic bliss now through August. (April-August is
best.) If you’re already married, your home life
glows with prosperity and affection - pregnancy
looms! If single, your nesting instincts blossom -
invite your date home, use your culinary skills.
Seek romance in parks, nature, cafes, gardens and
farms, daycare centers.
September onward
(into late 2004) brings one of the luckiest romantic
runs in over twelve years! The deeply sensual
continues, but now affection, the sweet thrill of
emotions, the dreams and sighs of love make your
life magic! Romance will be most intense May to
mid-June, late August into September, and November
(when intimacy surges).

Gemini
- (May 21-June 20) |
| Before
September, at least two important short trips will
bring you in contact with people who are potential
mates - vivacious, lively, cheerful types. (These
types challenge you rather than hypnotize you -
excitement, swiftness and verbal bantering rule the
day, rather than syrupy, dreamy romance.) Those who
enter your life from mid-April through August are
much better than those who enter pre-April.
You continue to be
surprised at how stubborn, secretive, sensual, loyal
and potentially vengeful special people (even those
cheerful, lively ones) can be. This gives you
several “rules to success” in love: 1) if a
person says no in the beginning, give up. 2) be
loyal; 3) only bond with those who make you feel “sensually
smooth” - if that kiss or embrace is awkward, it’s
astute Pluto telling you that something’s very
incompatible deeper down, in soul and psychological
areas.
You’ll be
strongly attracted to co-workers - but I don’t
recommend this. Your best times for love are
February (which lacks permanency) and April and June
(when permanency is possible). October might bring
true, sweet love. November/December offer a volatile
relationship.

Cancer
- (June 21-July 22) |
| By
March the river of your emotions, which has traveled
down the dark jungle rapids of lust, secrets and
instability) for seven years, shoots free into a
sunlit bay of calm waters. You’ll feel cleaner,
more alert, fresh and bright - and mellow. Your new
mellowness attracts a deeply emotional person who
senses your every thought and urge.
By June, you enter
a two-year period in which marriage is very likely,
if you’re single. If you’re married, your mate
defers to your judgment.
Think twice, June
to December, if you’re tempted to marry for
ambition or status. These same six months, someone
might pursue you with a light, quick, almost
indirect assertiveness. This person is gentle yet
assertive, temperamental yet sympathetic, timid yet
adventurous. He/she’s a dreamer of the first
order, and could provide you with true, ecstatic
love.
To succeed in love
this year, avoid a deep, suffocatingly intimate
approach. Steer instead toward entertainment,
playing the field, having “dates.” True love
might come, even marriage, but your best choice will
be met at a group function, and develop socially (at
first!).

Leo -
(July 23-Aug. 22) |
| You
could meet the love of your life this year. February
brings someone challenging, witty and sensually
appealing. You could fall in love before you know
it! But remember my earlier warnings - the best
lovers enter after mid-April. From this point on,
through August, you can safely, with the cosmos’
blessing, plunge into one of the most thrilling
romances of this (or any) decade!
All great passion
entails great stakes. You’ll know the truth of
this from June to December. This long, powerful
period can reshape your life in many ways. Single or
married, you can be sexually attracted to a fire
that burns hotter and hotter. Yet these flames dance
so quickly you can’t quite catch them. Take care
that you don’t self-immolate in a furnace of
desire. If you’re honest, and your love is too,
this can be a time you’ll remember forever. (For
example, never again will you doubt your sexual
prowess!) If you’re married, keep the fires
burning at home - only!
June brings flirty
joys, you’re “love’s favorite” in August,
and December provides deep romantic tenderness.

Virgo
- (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) |
| Relationships?
So what. Until September, you prefer quiet. Married
or single, you’re more concerned with your
security, home and family than with glitzy,
embarrassing romantic chases.
But your cocoon won’t
last! Even your yearning for contemplation and
nostalgia seems to attract former flames: they
re-appear in May and September. In addition, others
grow impatient with your retiring manner; they start
to challenge, tease, oppose or chase you.
Relationships become unpredictable. From June to
December, an atmosphere of intense desire swoops
into your relations with others. If you’re
married, these two influences can bring rejuvenation
- or “divorce danger.” Protect your union by
involving your spouse in a work project.
If you’re single,
a fiery, complex, dreamy, swift, nervous and
talkative person grabs your attention. Powerful
sexual and “destiny” forces move through this
attraction - it could change your lifestyle, your
family connections and your financial outlook. It
could also turn into a cruel clash of wills, or
transform into a blessed union - diplomacy helps!
Happily, September onward lifts your mood to
cheerful and optimistic heights - which hints at a
friendly, frolicking (lusty!) outcome.

Libra
- (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) |
| Social
joys rule, Libra! Until late August, you’ll meet a
variety of viable partners at parties, political or
corporate meetings, educational seminars, etc. (The
best of these occur after mid-April.)
Lively discussions
take place with a specials person in February. You
could travel to meet someone attractive this month
or in June. March and April create tension on the
home front, so be gentle if you’re married. You
take the mating game seriously April through June -
your romantic courage surges, as do prospects! You
might regret any sexual, intimate commitments you
make during May, so let a lover wait this month -
but keep your affection showing.
You’ll be
attracted to a co-worker (or two!) from late June
into December. Make sure this is love, not
convenience, before you tie any serious knots. If
you’re married, your mate will struggle under a
pile of work these six months - be patient and
helpful.
From September into
2004 your mood turns inward. This is part of a long
trend that is removing you from a hectic love scene,
into a more “settling down” mode.

Scorpio
- (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) |
| The
21st century belongs to you, Scorpio, at least in amorous
terms. The period of deepest love in your life will
occur from 2011 through 2025. (This could mean your
present love will deepen, or that your as-yet
unknown soul mate is struggling toward you, through
time’s matrix of circumstances.)
But even now, March
kicks off a seven-year phase of excitement and
intensity in romance. (And ends seven years of
domestic tension.)
June through
December is likely to bring a classic love affair -
passionate, romantic, and sensual. Your amorous
courage will be at a peak, your sense of adventure
powerful. This affair might eventually flounder on
the shores of money, or tear apart on the rack of
jealousy. But it’s probably the best run of pure
cupid you’ve had for forty years, so grab it and
live!
The entire eight
months from January through August favor a
prestigious wedding. From September into 2004, your
popularity soars. You’ll be admitted to one or two
new social circles (clubs, organizations, etc.) that
will bless your life - and bring exciting
flirtations. Accept all invitations!

Sagittarius
- (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) |
| The
first eight months of 2003 favor love in all its
forms, from teen romance to adult compassion, from
wisdom to giggles. The time is ripe for vows,
proposals, meeting a sweetheart’s parents.
Schools, foreign countries, law offices,
philosophical forums, media outlets, libraries, art
galleries, exhibitions, circuses, theatres - places
of travel, learning and creativity - are your heart’s
best hunting ground through August. Before
mid-April, be careful with love - make sure your own
motives are pure and unselfish.
Your romantic
potential surges in February - perhaps with someone
you recently met at a work-related group function.
April, June and August also ring the bell of love.
From September onward your mood turns ambitious -
anyone who wants to woo you will have to keep up
with your busy schedule, and live up to your new
standards!
Until June, your
age peers treat you with skepticism or aloofness -
so aim older or younger. Temper tantrums could end a
romance June through December. Your fuse is shortest
on the home front, yet that’s precisely where
romance could thrive most, if you let it. Be gentle,
Sage!

Capricorn
- (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) |
| Through
August, your sensual side rises like a slow-motion
tidal wave. You’ll be attracted to people and
situations that hold the seeds of a changed life (in
family, financial, and other ways). These changes,
and the desires that propel them, can wreck havoc if
you chase them before April 15, but can turn your
life in a blessed, joyful new direction if they
appear (and you give chase) from April 15 to
September. Obviously, timing’s important! So is
morality - lust rules, so reject extra-marital
temptations.
June begins a
two-year phase during which relationships will grow
more cautious and sober. You’ll have to display
loyalty. You could well be dealing with your future
spouse!
September into 2004
adds a mellow, understanding note to your
personality. You’ll attract confidants and those
who want to discuss the ways of the world, the
meaning of life. Among these is one who immediately
“clicks” with you, and who starts to show a true
passion for your presence. You will find being with
this person a light, oddly entrancing experience -
and you might never want to leave!

Aquarius-(Jan.
20-Feb. 18) |
| Your
marriage prospects have seldom been more bountiful,
beautiful and lucky! I’ve been nagging you since
2001 to develop one special love (or at least, to
leave yourself vulnerable to pleasure’s call). If
you did, you’ll start to harvest the rewards in
2003. Wait until April 15 onward to propose or
accept, to seek a new life mate, choose between two
people, or perform any crucial relationship action.
If you have to choose between two lovers, pick
whoever first appeared/connected in a private,
one-to-one way, rather than someone you met at a
social function.
You might relocate
this year due to love. Perhaps you’ll wed someone
far away, or your spouse could receive transfer
papers. Go - you’re primed to land in a lucky new
place!
September into 2004
brings a fertile, sensual, and financially lucky
note to established relationships. Young couples
could have a baby, etc. But if you’re seeking an
honest, open, vibrant, egalitarian and lasting love,
stick with someone you meet before September. This
month onward brings passion, intimacy and lust -
things best practiced with someone you already know!

Pisces
- (Feb. 19-March 20) |
| 2003,
from June onward, brings sharp contrasts in love.
Your heart will grow more cautious and sober, yet
your body more alert and sensual - in fact, it could
be hard to slow you down June to December, when your
assertiveness and magnetism heat to frying-pan
temperatures! From September onward, huge
relationship opportunities will mix with fireworks,
as your intensity sparks against someone’s cooler,
friendly but philosophical approach to love.
Before September
your heavy workload could lead to a co-worker affair
- but you’ll do better to wait. September into
2004 brings honorable, cheerful people, and adds a
dash of luck to all relationships (even those fiery
ones!). You could wed in a status-boosting way.
Your best times for
love are: March, when you attract others easily;
July, when romance is deep and loyal but moves more
slowly than you would like; and October/November,
when someone’s passion toward you is undeniable!
One caution: from April 2003 through December 2004,
don’t automatically let lust translate into a
wedding (or lawsuit). Make life-affecting decisions
when you’re calm and collected. Let that
sensuality cool a bit!
