YOUR 2012 LOVE FORECAST
BY TIM STEPHENS |
|
|
|
Aries
- (March 21-April 19)
|
ARIES, you’re so interested in
money and so tied to work through June that you don’t have
the time or heart for real romance. Your sensual side is
strong, but you aren’t ready for the “Big Commitment.”
(Which is just as well, as a sensual bond formed now could
turn to mild boredom if it’s extended into marriage.)
From June 2012 to June 2013, you enter a friendly,
talkative, restless, travel-prone phase. You might strike up
a romantic liaison with someone met in transit (on the bus,
or in another town, etc.). However, this period continues
the light side, so romance might remain lightly flirtatious,
or you might have an easy-going affair with a talkative,
cheerful, friendly person. This relationship can lead to
marriage, if you both enjoy and want what you have in each
other.
You’ll be offered new social contacts in February, 2012;
your gracious, affable side shows strongly, and can attract
a soft touch from someone. A long, sweet friendship could
blossom April to early August, and even lead to a marriage
proposal or other strong bond in July or during a powerfully
romantic August. September heightens your sexual urges,
while helping you see someone in a romantic light; this,
too, can lead to a live-in or other serious bond. From
October through December, someone might pursue you. But
remember, the main quality is light and friendly…. |

Taurus
- (April 20-May 20) |
TAURUS, your intimate
life flows with sweet tides and your romantic
prospects flare like unexpected fires, now to early
July. You’re in a lucky, life-changing phase this
winter and spring, one that can set your direction for
many years to come. Your romantic courage is high, but
it could tempt you to merge with a person who will
later become burdensome (or bring you a heavy present,
such as a child). You will be able to sense these
types, but might have difficulty saying “No” to
him/her, or yourself. (One thing I learned, it took
many years, is that you must respect your own future
first, then you’ll find the best mate.)
From February to April, romance recedes slightly, or
goes into a holding pattern, as you mull your options.
Mid-April to early July revs up the romance engines
again. March is very sweet, and others find you
exactly that. A hot attraction occurs in September.
October starts a two-year period during which you (if
single) will form a bond with someone markedly older
or younger. This bond develops slowly yet deeply, with
strong loyalties – and a wedding could result. 2012 to
2025 brings a new, dreamy, mystical, intuitive
atmosphere to your social life – this might or might
not produce your future mate, but it does help you
know what kind of life you want, and what kind of
mate/love you want to share it with. |

Gemini
- (May 21-June 20) |
GEMINI, before June your
love urges are a mixture of lust and possessiveness.
You want to retreat from the world into the arms of a
snugly, warm, protective lover. You’re seeking peace
and security more than the thrills of romance or the
lively dynamics of marriage.
From June onward, everything changes. Almost overnight
you become cheerful, buoyant, optimistic, friendly,
outgoing and lucky – right into mid-2013. During these
12 months, you will encounter more love prospects than
usual, and be subtly in control over the pace and
direction of a relationship. Your cheerfulness will
attract others, not only in romantic situations, but
in business, with pals, etc. Your courage will also
increase – you’ll notice this by your readiness, even
impatience, to grab opportunities in every area,
including love.
Until October, romance will combine with a definite
sexual urge, and you’ll tend to chase those who appeal
to your libido first. May to July, someone seriously
wants you. July and August intensify your love hopes.
October onward, you’ll be intrigued by another’s
personality, beauty, and mental freshness.
October/November bring someone challenging yet upbeat.
December stirs deep urges. |

Cancer
- (June 21-July 22) |
CANCER, you are in line
for true love sometime between now and 2023. In 2012,
your popularity remains high until June, especially
with co-workers and service people. Groups and
spontaneous gatherings are certain to bring some
“light” love potentials your way, especially in March.
Groups that focus on work or health matters will
probably produce the most prospects. The whole year
ahead promotes the social, ethical and cultural side
of love, and for the first time in over a decade, the
members of the opposite sex whom you meet will tend to
be “wedding receptive.” A strong, beneficial mental
and intellectual compatibility will fill new
relationships.
From June onward, you’ll be more interested in cozy
intimacy than in galloping over the night club
circuit, or competing for the attention of attractive
strangers. A secret love might draw you from April
through July. Your romantic fervour flares in
September. From October onward, someone of a different
age begins to slowly, deeply light your interest. |

Leo -
(July 23-Aug. 22) |
LEO, until June you
might be too busy chasing lucky career and business
opportunities to pay much attention to love. But from
June onward a celebratory mood prevails. This period
boosts your popularity at both serious and frivolous
gatherings – and from these a romantic prospect is
certain to arise. In fact, you might have too many
potential lovers, and will have to choose, perhaps
between a new and a returning love. (This choice might
arrive early, from April through July, though you’ll
see it as “social options.”) Don’t feel bad about
playing the field, as this is the perfect year to do
so. At some point, perhaps this summer, but more
likely October/November, you’ll decide who you belong
with.
September makes you very attractive, but this might
trigger jealousy at home or with your other admirers.
A former friend might walk right into your life and
heart in December. One major note: the deception of
the past 15 years is over: you can trust crucial links
and loves now. |

Virgo
- (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) |
VIRGO, for the past
fifteen years you’ve been attracted to co-workers and
service people, as love and work intertwined. But this
year (until 2025) you will be attracted to a subtly
new and different kind of person. You’ll meet people
who are soft, evasive, and seemingly weak, but who
have a vast strength that is easy to miss because it’s
so soft and vast; like the atmosphere, it surrounds
you. This person could send you into paroxysms of
delight and puzzlement. You might or might not meet
your life-mate in the years ahead, but you will meet
your true love.
Until July, you burn with deep sensual fires, and
members of the opposite sex notice. A memorable
lust-affair could result (more likely after mid-April,
unless you’ve already found him/her). This can have
one of two results: a divorce from your unamused
spouse, or a wedding with someone destined to change
your life. In both cases, consider the consequences.
You draw another strongly in October: but watch for
domestic friction. 2012 is a year of love’s
adventures! |

Libra
- (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) |
LIBRA, your love life
splits in two this year. The first half is sexy,
mysterious, intimate, and holds the possibility of
deep (and mostly lucky) consequence. You could become
pregnant if you don’t practice birth control. If
you’re married, you will need to regenerate the
boudoir side; otherwise, unsavoury temptations could
arise. If you’re single, you might meet someone with
whom you share a splendid physical compatibility, but
the cup of your relationship might not quite be full
enough to drink the deep, long draughts of marriage.
Even so, you might feel like marrying, making it
official, and you’ll puzzle over this sweet
possibility from April through July.
From June onward (to June 2013) the emphasis changes
from physical bonding to a more cheerful, social love.
This might occur with the pre-June love, but it might
also occur with someone new. The summer holds various
pitfalls of over-optimism, but from September onward,
splendid relationships arise, and you are free to walk
down love’s broad path with the right one. |

Scorpio
- (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) |
SCORPIO, your love life
has just entered the biggest boost it will ever get –
a fifteen year one that began February 3. You will
likely, during these fifteen years, find great harmony
with Capricorns and Pisceans, not so much with Taurus,
Libra and Aquarians. (Those last two are seldom
compatible, anyway.) Your social life slows a bit
February to mid-April, then picks up again, strongly,
to July. This is important because socializing now
tends to introduce you to co-workers and sexy members
of the opposite sex. But even more importantly, until
mid-June you will meet (if you didn’t in the last half
of 2011) cheerful, optimistic, honourable and
attractive people – one of these represents a very
viable marriage mate (and/or financial partner).
March brings romance with a sweet, affectionate but
subtly challenging person. This is mate material! May
repeats this mating opportunity. April through early
August can bring a very intimate physical affair, one
you might indecisively mull over May/June. June starts
an entire year of huge opportunities for lust,
intimacy and pregnancy – every action has a
consequence, and great benefits for the honest. DON’T
chase someone already attached, especially in October. |

Sagittarius
- (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) |
SAGITTARIUS, until
mid-June you might spurn romance, as work and duties
soak up your energy and attention. However, April to
early August brings a prolonged bout of affection and
“marriage-type” interest in another. This could be a
very memorable affair, or an actual marriage
opportunity (especially if you’ve been dating since
mid-2011). A friction-prone career milieu can
interfere – or could spark uncommon feelings between
you and a boss. (Be careful.)
June starts a 12-month period of lucky relationship
opportunities – and opportunities through
relationships. During this phase almost all your luck,
love and otherwise, will come from your ability to
bond and cooperate with others. If you’re unhappily
married, this period can bring separation. If you’re
single, these 12 months can bring one of the best
marriage prospects of your life. This person might
have gone through a major series of disappointments
over the last two decades, and is only now returning
to hope, faith and cheerfulness. You’ll find this
person challenging but never boring – not in 20, 30
years! You might physically bond with someone in July,
turn it to love in August. A lover might emerge from a
group. Your magnetism soars October through December. |

Capricorn
- (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) |
CAPRICORN, romance is
natural, beneficial and lucky now to June. There might
be a responsibility attached – perhaps the assumption
of a step-parenting role, or some other duty. You
might fall in love with a co-worker anytime between
April and August. (Take care in August, when you’re
too willing to ignore boundaries.) This person might
withdraw in May/June, if he/she isn’t sure of you.
(With Pluto in your sign, you can be a little
forceful, adamant and/or vengeful. Remember honey’s
stronger than vinegar.)
You might meet an apparently viable life-mate in
June/July, but watch for hints of friction. He/she
could be an old flame, or you might have previously
worked with him/her on an employment, research, health
or financial project. Your interest is lit in August,
October and December (when your magnetism soars). From
mid-June to December, your work duties are likely to
expand swiftly, bringing more money but less time for
loving dalliance. In the big picture, you are heading
toward the realization of your dreams, especially
socially – a new group (on the 2013 and further
horizon) will provide some of the deepest heart joys
of your life. Your sexual and emotional wishes will
come true. But to build a splendid new house, you
first have to demolish the old – old attitudes,
prejudices, unrealistic heart-throbs. |

Aquarius-(Jan.
20-Feb. 18) |
AQUARIUS, 2012 holds a
joyful surprise in love. Until June, your main luck
lies in home, property, security and family. This is a
splendid time to rest and regenerate your batteries.
Even during this time of healing and relative
seclusion, a sweet feeling emerges toward someone
between April and early August. It could be that you
are contemplating a seductive person from afar,
without revealing your hand, or it could be a local,
full-blown affair.
This attraction might meet a delay or indecision in
May/June. That’s significant, because June introduces
a year of gigantic love luck, one in which you are
going to: a) expand this spring’s strong attraction
into a full-blown escapade of love, fun, travel, and,
perhaps eventually, marriage; or b) find a new love,
one of the sweetest, strongest bonds of your life.
Ultimately, the best love for you will appear after
August, as any attraction that commences before
September might have a subtle, almost indiscernible
flaw. The main “signal” that this flaw exists comes
from events: somehow, ultimate satisfaction, ultimate
conquest, though it constantly calls you, seems
elusive. The oddest, unexpected delays might occur –
if so, turn quickly, away, and wait until September
onward. Your best love this year (and next) will be
met while you’re in a group – a party, a classroom, a
tour group, etc. If you’re married, expect a splendid,
joyful year, and if you’re a parent, double that. |

Pisces
- (Feb. 19-March 20) |
PISCES, February is
often the quietest month for you, but this year it
contains a momentous event: Neptune, your ruling
planet, moves into your sign February 3, where it will
stay until 2025. During this period, you will “come
into your own,” or firm up your personality; you will
become more Piscean. That leads to better
decision-making. Being deeply yourself attracts people
who 1) are deeply themselves (and therefore more true)
and 2) are more directly attracted to the real you,
rather than to some idea they have of you, or some
image they want you to fit. So we know your love
prospects will, overall, greatly improve for the next
15 years – and love itself will improve for the rest
of your life.
Short-term, you’re in a friendly, talkative mood to
June. Until July, relationships are intense, as
someone with a lot of sexual magnetism could pursue or
attract you – but this heat runs close to anger, so
tread diplomatically, and be ready to forgive and
laugh at your own foibles. August plucks a romantic
note. October forces a decision between love and
ambition. From June 2012 to June 2013, the accent will
be on security, home, etc. – This helps love only if
you’re already intimate. If you aren’t, mid-2013 to
mid-2014 brings a lucky, bountiful passion. |
