LOVE FORECAST 2009
BY TIM STEPHENS |
|
|
|
Aries
- (March 21-April 19)
|
|
ARIES, your social life will
expand tremendously in 2009 – the most in 13 years. This is
sure to bring various light, entertaining escapades,
flirtations with friends, and prospects for building an
enduring love with one special person. Blind dates or
unexpected meetings at picnics, parties, union or political
gatherings can bring you together with someone who will
either be a great friend – or a great friend and a lover.
Romance this year is of the light, “non-embarrassing” kind,
but it can be very worthy of marriage. Reject the temptation
to mix lust with business, to climb the ladder of success
through the boudoir. You’re filled with a charming grace in
February, and a new social circle might open to you (jump
in!). If you’re a female, flirtations soar. An “ex” might
return in March/April – or you receive so much attention you
can’t decide who to choose. May brings deeply sensual
romance, partly because your determination and magnetism
surge. Casual friends fill early-mid summer, but late August
brings a charming person with whom you should not co-habit.
November/December bring a deep, meaningful romantic rush,
perhaps true love. (Before September, go social, reject
“infatuation.”) |

Taurus
- (April 20-May 20) |
TAURUS, 2009 isn’t a big
“romantic” year for you, and yet the likelihood that
you’ll marry is high, especially if you’re already
involved. Your main pipeline to luck in 2009 resides
in career, ambition and parenting zones. You could
find love at the office, or marry “up.” You’re in the
first stages of a 17-year phase that is perfect for
finding love and walking down the aisle – not since
the 1960’s have Taureans faced such a long, sweet
cycle for finding true love.
Ignore romance in February – fire up your ambitions
instead. A major temptation could face you February
through early June, luring you toward a liaison that
has to be kept secret. If you’re married, indulging
this attraction will send major cracks through your
most dependable relationships; if you’re single, you
could suffer emotional bruises. The same months bless
loyal married (and otherwise attached) Taureans with
lots of snuggles and intimate understanding. If
single, you might, February to June, contemplate life
with someone who has a handicap or large family
burden. Your sexual magnetism skyrockets June and
July. Romance strikes powerfully but fleetingly
September/October, perhaps with an old flame. Guard
your temper on the home front November/December! |

Gemini
- (May 21-June 20) |
|
GEMINI, relationship
frustration dogged you from 1996 to 2008. Now 2009 not
only brings one of your best love periods in awhile,
it also ends those frustrations and begins 35 years of
adventure and fulfillment! (These 35 years contain
some wayward urges, so remain honest and loyal if you
want to find or preserve good love with a good
person.) Now to early June, someone you meet in a
social setting could entrance you. This striking,
seductive person (perhaps an Aries or Libra with
smooth, captivating eyes) is the “first note” (and
maybe the whole note!) of your future romantic and/or
marital cycle. A Pisces who has attracted you for
years might gradually fade from view. Mull this over
before you commit. All year, love provides a wide path
to marriage. Before September, reject the concept of
“just friends” or “friendly romance” – the more
profound your view, the deeper and luckier love will
be. Foreign countries, foreign-born people, lawyers,
libraries, schools, publishing venues and places of
worship might trigger a real, lasting love. Your
magnetism soars June to August. November into 2011,
romance and sexual attraction draw you toward a
potent, stable, gradually deepening commitment. |

Cancer
- (June 21-July 22) |
CANCER, 2009 heightens
your libido. Your sexual urges rise to a remarkable
constancy and potency. With this comes the danger of
verboten temptations (for example, an extramarital
attraction) unless you remain moral, ethical and – if
attached – loyal. If you’re already happily married,
your sex life should sing a powerful new song! If
you’re single, tune into romantic, gently loving,
compassionate and nurturing feelings. If you travel
this emotional track, you’ll draw someone free, open
and honest – and intimately fulfilling! The physical
side will grow more easily than you expect. Pregnancy
is easy to achieve now. Married or single, being
“profound” about sex could change your life in
powerful, fortunate ways. A too casual approach could
disappoint or, worse, trap you.
February into mid-March is ultimately sexy (and
highlights the dangers listed above). Your career
might undergo changes February through May, which,
oddly enough, could instill a burning desire to merge
with your boss, or a member of his/her family. By
June, you feel friendly on the job and off – a sweet,
affectionate flirtation raises your spirits. Your
sexual magnetism surges September/October. November
brings romantic feelings, and a sensual answer! |

Leo -
(July 23-Aug. 22) |
LEO, 2009 is one of your
best years for a particular kind of love – marital.
You’ll be lucky in love if you seek a partnership of
equals. Be outgoing; refuse to withdraw or indulge in
self-pity. Seek to “merge” in general – a client,
business partner, lawyer, international contact,
scholar or teacher might introduce you to a special
person. Relocation can also bring love. But “pure
romance” is not really in the stars, nor is a purely
sexual attraction (except in March). Instead, you’re
likely to meet someone who is obviously your equal,
and who might argue or oppose you at key junctures –
yet you’ll admire this exciting person. You know
romance can fade, the sweetest infatuation can lead to
eventual satiety – but this relationship (if you
engage it) will never dull. Don’t be fooled because
you don’t feel dreamy heights of la-la-land ecstasy.
This is something different, dynamic. The person who
treats you with gentle good humor is the one.
From February into early June you might meet someone
whose aura makes you think “wedding.” In fact, you
might propose marriage. Don’t take “no” as a final
rejection – nor let it stop you from chasing someone
else. (That “rejecter” might come back, after some
thought.) Reject extramarital or other triangles
during a sexy March/April. A friend might become a
mate in July/August. Your magnetism soars mid-October
right into June 2010 – a schoolmate, or foreign
national, might pursue you! |

Virgo
- (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) |
VIRGO, 2009 promotes
work more than romance. If you found love last year,
2009 becomes a bridge to a more balanced relationship
in 2010 – a year that will promote marriage in big,
lucky ways. 2009, especially the first half, and from
October right into June 2010, promotes one thing
powerfully: lust. If you’re already happily married or
attached, deep sexual urges (especially February to
June) could bring pregnancy, or nudge the two of you
into beneficial change (e.g., change your sex life, or
invest or build a new life or business together). If
you’re unhappily attached, you might chase outside
attractions that seem to be “destined love” but are
really catalysts to break up your marriage or force a
major change. Unfortunately, you’d also reap
unhappiness. If you’re single, a clandestine affair
now could make you miss 2010’s marriage opportunity!
All year, especially in March, June, September and
December, erratic reactions might disrupt your links,
making it difficult to “settle down” with another, to
understand and maintain a mellow twosome. This trend
will disappear by late 2010, so hang on if you value
your present amour. Your magnetism soars in September
and early October. |

Libra
- (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) |
LIBRA, 2009 is one of
your best romantic years in over a decade! You’ve
dreamed a little unrealistically about love the last
13 or 14 years, and tended to look fondly upon
co-workers, service people (the plumber always wrings
twice) and others who offer more practical than
emotional compatibility. This overall, general
influence will change abruptly next year (2010) when
life will wake you from your dreams with a dose of
excitement that lasts 7 years (2010-2017)! It might
almost be too much excitement, for this new influence
will be erratic, unpredictable, and trigger sudden
attractions and sudden break-offs. Those 7 years could
bring marriage literally overnight to some of you –
but will stability be included?
In the shorter-range picture, though, 2009 balances
both these trends (dreamy unrealism and shocking
excitement) and gives you a chance at one of the major
love affairs of your life! If you fall in love in
2009, you might marry now, or in 2010/2011. Today’s
romance, you might say, is the “first step” toward a
life of love.
Your urge to merge is powerful February to June. May
could bring love or war – choose love, be gracious.
June is powerfully sexual. July/August promote travel
and gentle love, as well as weddings. Rest in
September. A hectic social life from mid-October into
June 2010 could bring your biggest relationship wishes
true! |

Scorpio
- (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) |
SCORPIO, 2009 brings new
thrills in romance, and stable joys from social life –
but the two seldom go together this year, and you
might have to choose between them. Before you do,
realize that those romantic thrills will likely lead
to more adventure, excitement (and even nervous
tension) than stability. What first seems like a hot
romance might turn cool very suddenly. There won’t be
any intent to harm – but one of you might, at some
point, admit that you have a friendship more than an
affair. In the long run, you’ll obtain more moments of
deep, reassuring satisfaction from good old faithful
friends (and lovers) than from love’s fickle flags.
Yet, if you just want thrills, 2009’s romance could
grow very big, very swiftly, before it yields to
“reality” (especially the reality of your career or
social position). If you’re married, your mate is
supportive – until October!
Romance could flare with a co-worker from mid-March to
late April. Someone very sexy draws your gaze in June
and July – this person might be a viable life mate.
Social rounds could introduce you to a fiery romantic
partner in September. All year, especially October
into early 2010, you might be so wrapped up in your
career that you give love prospects little attention –
that’s okay, since your best romantic opportunities –
best of your life – will appear from 2010 to 2024 –
don’t rush into anything before then! |

Sagittarius
- (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) |
SAGITTARIUS, 2009 is
filled with travel, new friends, messaging, and
errands. In all this busyness, love can strike swiftly
and powerfully, especially February to early June, and
mid-October into mid-2010. You might strike up a
casual acquaintance on a trip, or through emails, then
become increasingly charmed by this person. Social
gatherings, clubs, sports events and other “crowd”
scenes are another great way to meet someone from
February to early June. This period accents romance
and all its pleasures.
June through August might demand a decision: either
you join as equals, or you fight; either you marry, or
you might separate – perhaps only temporarily, due to
career or parental pressures. You would be wise to NOT
wed (nor sign any contracts) before August 22. So no
matter how romantic you feel, keep this relationship
casual before then.
September/October lure you toward intimate clinches,
perhaps a sexual commitment. Mid-October – right into
June 2010 – brings a long, fiery, perhaps
temperamental but exciting love trend – it’s likely
that you and your amour want to wed, and with haste!
Try to be a little more deliberate and look at all
angles first -- you might still decide to wed, and it
could be the start of years of bliss (if after January
2010, domestic bliss and parenthood, too!). |

Capricorn
- (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) |
CAPRICORN, 2009 offers
you at least one major money opening, probably in the
earnings department. But romance isn’t emphasized
hugely this year. Still, you can engage in romance
almost any year – and despite what I write here, if
this is your “big year” for other (cosmic) reasons,
love will strike unimpeded! One area of relationships
does offer unusual luck: sensuality. You could begin a
casual “love affair” almost any time in 2009 – you’ll
find at least one attractive person who’s willing to
engage in some sensual fun and frolic with you. No
one’s heart will be broken – mostly because neither of
you will be deeply committed in the first place.
April brings amorous clues – a glance, a word, email
or note that hints at intimate possibilities. May is
openly romantic, and might offer up several interludes
in a home atmosphere – a garden, restaurant, or other
domestic venue. Your heart might be in your work in
June, but many romantic sparks fly past, just waiting
for you to catch them! This time is a frank mixture of
the sexual and romantic. Someone sweet and receptive
wanders into your sphere in August – this could turn
intense by September. A powerful sexual urge comes
over you from October right into June of 2010 –
careful, this kind of fire can burn, especially if
you’re dealing with a triangle or socially verboten
zones (e.g., extramarital attractions). |

Aquarius-(Jan.
20-Feb. 18) |
AQUARIUS, your luck,
optimism, and friendly cheerfulness soar to a decade
high in 2009 – this is sure to attract admirers.
You’re very likely to travel afar this year – and
you’ll find romantic opportunities pop up everywhere
along your way! Travel hubs, law offices, courtrooms,
legislatures, libraries, schools, publishing and
advertising offices are prime places to meet
compatible prospects. You’re so lucky this year, that
someone’s likely to just walk up and introduce
themselves – but you shouldn’t depend on this. If
you’re married, your social circle expands, and your
mate becomes a true friend – partly because you’re
showing more and more what a friend you are.
May gives you something to hunker down and think about
– a clue, or someone’s frequent glances or words. June
is openly romantic, and someone who ebbed from your
life might come back. Late July through August
involves you in a whirlwind of attraction and long
conversations with someone very good-looking. Don’t
marry, nor agree to marry, before August 22 this year.
Someone pursues you in October – this could trigger 9
months of heated interchanges – love and anger could
mix explosively! November starts two years in which
you’ll contemplate a wedding’s “consequences.” |

Pisces
- (Feb. 19-March 20) |
PISCES, 2009 is a quiet
year for you. Your personal magnetism ebbs to a quiet
level, as you withdraw from the crowd in order to
examine your future, your heart, and your emotional
needs. This is a very necessary and healthy process;
it aligns your soul for the hugely expansive events
(and huge luck) of 2010. You’re going to shoot upward,
you’re going to demand attention, and impress
everyone, especially in your career – you might also
wed! But that’s all in 2010. Until then, retreat and
self-examination, meditation and quiet planning will
prevail.
If you’re attached, 2009 will bring many moments of
cozy, sensual intimacy with your loved one, especially
March through June. You could wonder if you really
want to possess the one you hold in March/April. That
answer is yours to find. You won’t fool yourself. June
brings happiness on the home front, a glowing feeling
that you belong. Laughter and flirtatious
conversations pique your romantic dreams. Serious
romantic feelings flow in July. August might bring
talk of marriage, or introduce someone lively,
talkative and attractive. But both July and August
trigger domestic spats – DON’T begin living with
someone! September triggers passion and sexual
indecision – by October/November you’ll know exactly
what to do. All year, marriage offers both a duteous,
mildly burdensome prospect, and the fulfillment of
long-held dreams. The two are inseparable through
October. January 2010 begins a year of huge personal
luck – during which you might or might not decide to
give love a chance! |
