With Mars retrograde over your 7^thhouse during the first quarter of the year the perfect one may not seem easy to find, but it doesn’t mean you can’t have excitement in your life. If single, Valentines Day and the first quarter of the year sees the possibility of a new and passionate relationship. You’ll either enjoy this for the short term or the intensity of the relationship will settle into a more comfortable place. Passion lies with a Libran, as they are an opposite, which brings an intensity that won’t fizzle out as long as you share the same priorities in life. Destiny may also lie with an Aquarian who offers stability for the long term. 2010 brings various stages to your relationship. For those in established relationships if Valentines Day isn’t filled with romance and surprises you won’t have to wait long. A romantic holiday will be just around the corner. Mid year on life becomes less stressful and singles and couples alike are relaxed and enjoying the loves in their lives.

With Jupiter smiling over your relationship sector throughout 2010 Valentines Day promises to be one of the best so far. You should find yourself lavished with attention whether they are new or an established relationship.

Stay focused on who works for you, as the planets are co-operating with you this year. Best love matches are with Cancer or Pisces who have you singing in the bedroom although they may be frustrating outside of it. Established relationships can look forward to engagements and wedding plans. Expect surprises Valentines Day and check your champagne glass before drinking in case there’s a diamond resting on the bottom. Taurus that is how good it is this year.

Gemini

Valentine’s Day has you sitting at rainbows end as engagements and proposals surround you. Venus and Mercury transit your 7^th house converting love to marriage. If you’re single meeting someone new with long-term prospects is easy at this time. If you’re married the proposal could be offering something exciting like a holiday or property investment. Planets are moving you on to the next step. Leo offers the potential for a good relationship although the affinity felt with a Sagittarian could sour to conflict over time, better to tread cautiously. You love change so you are best suited to those whose lives don’t run around routine, over time you would rather stick pins in your eyes. You may also find Valentine’s Day has you making decisions over two people in your love life. Singles meet more than one person, and those in relationships may have to resist the temptation of someone new. Quality is always a better policy than quantity. Either way Valentine’s Day and 2010 will be anything but boring.

Cancer

You may feel disappointed or left out over Valentines Day. The key is not to have expectations at this time. Your turn will definitely come it’s just not now, this applies mostly to engagements and marriage. The prospects of these are far more likely during the 2^nd half of the year. Valentines Day has single Cancer meeting a special someone with an overseas connection. It wouldn’t be surprising if it is close to Chinese New Year or St Patrick’s Day, being as they are overseas festivals. It’s a great time to get out socially and your love life will blossom quickly, it’s commitment that’s not likely to appear until the 2^nd half of the year. Marriage comes in so strongly during the 2^nd half of 2010 that if you are not getting married yourself you’ll find yourself as a guest or in the bridal party at weddings. An enormous amount of Cancerians have successful marriages with other Cancerians, if your fate lies elsewhere be cautious with a Capricorn as they are your nemeses.

Leo

With the influence of Mars on the 4^thhouse all may not seem smooth on the domestic front. This doesn’t mean you’re not showered with love and attention this Valentine’s Day. Singles will meet someone new in casual surroundings. At the beach, BBQ or a café. It’s when you least expect it, partly because planets are ruffling your feathers lately. Mars will have you feeling pessimistic. Don’t fall for it though, make sure you keep socially occupied rather than skulk at home. Don’t wear your daggy shorts to the BBQ either, thinking no one special will be there will catch you off guard. So the message is, you may feel one way but it’s actually another. The same applies to relationships. You may feel as though you are not special but you are about to see how loved you really are. Aries and Sagittarius work well for you as long as no one is trying to be the boss. Libra and Gemini will enjoy the good things in life for you. If it’s an Aquarian you’re after get used to seeing their back!

Virgo

Valentine’s Day and 2010 Virgo you have won the love lotto! Transiting planets during the 1^st and 2^nd quarter are so favourable in all your relationships it’s a promise of domestic bliss. If you are in an established relationship you can expect proposals and further commitment. Couples will feel they’re blessed with the level of happiness in their lives. Singles can expect someone so special your only warning is like the end of the Willy Wonka movie. You know what happened to the Virgo who got everything they wanted, they lived happily ever after. So your chocolate factory can best be found with another earth sign Capricorn or Taurus. Passion lies with a dark haired, blue-eyed Pisces. You will always be a bit of a mystery to one another.

Libra

As Mercury transits your 4^th house Valentine’s Day brings a connection with all that’s from OS. Singles may find themselves in a restaurant that has an overseas theme or you could be meeting someone who has just returned from an overseas holiday. While socializing make sure you’re dressed to make a lasting impression, as your future Mr/Ms right is not far away. Travel is definitely on the cards in 2010 and singles travelling around Valentine’s Day have the potential to meet that someone special on their trip. If you’re married or in a relationship and you’re organizing Valentine’s Day, your partner is guaranteed to be spoilt as you are romantic, affectionate and have a penchant for quality. On the other side of that your partner should know that you expect nothing less. As long as they are giving of themselves you’ll be happy. If you find yourself in the arms of an Aquarian or Gemini you’ll find a mutual appreciation for all that is beautiful, interesting and refined. Although Aries is opposite Libra and normally one would tread carefully, you’ll have the time of your life. You’ll laugh, love and play well together. Go for it!

When does a Scorpio not have something going on in their love life! Singles can expect a lot of action around Valentines Day as transiting planets bring you closer to that special someone.  Make sure you’re dressed in your sexiest and that touch of red always works well for you. Singles won’t be single for long and you can look forward to relationships blossoming. Relationships generally are more harmonious at this time of year. Travel is indicated in your horoscope and some of you will be settling in foreign lands. A new relationship could take you overseas and if single a move overseas will bring a long lasting relationship into your life. With Saturn and Jupiter transiting success is yours this year and you’ll feel confident in all your undertakings. Love lies perhaps with a Cancer or Pisces but for passion a Taurus will never be boring.

Sagittarius

Planets indicate that the first few months of 2010 could feel troublesome, so you may not feel up to making a Valentines Day effort. Naughty. You will disappoint yourself and others if you go with that. You have great stars for the rest of the year so you need to enjoy Valentines with your special someone. Singles will be nicely surprised with a lot of attention. There’s a lot happening socially and getting involved will lift you out of the doldrums. You are a sign blessed with beauty and luck and a bad day for you is a good day for the rest of us, so get out there it’s all waiting. After the first few months of the year life takes off, big time. Plenty of money, travel and relationships are great. If you’re in a relationship the connection is deeper in 2010. You’ll find you are spoilt Valentines and most of this year. Personal touches like massages are a great gift for you to give. Fire and water usually don’t mix, but Scorpio will never dampen your flame.

Capricorn

2010 is one of the best years for relationships for you. If you’re single at the moment there’s still time to meet someone to share Valentines Day with. Your planets are so positive this year that it could happen as quickly as that. A Taurus could meet all your desires. They’re strong, dependable, romantic and the most loyal of all signs. Never make the mistake of telling them what to do and then it’s all easy from there. Capricorns are attracted to the more conservative and conventional so if single push yourself a little harder to try something different, clothes, hair styles. This wouldn’t hurt if you were married either, a change is as good as a holiday. Your partner will love a surprise new you. The point is so will you. A boost of confidence will bring new energy into existing relationships. You have lots of support from family and friends this year, and you could find financial support from family a possibility. Life is about to move ahead enormously, just be ready for it now instead of waiting.

Aquarius

As Jupiter transits Saturn in your second house Valentines Day finds you falling in love. They’re either new, or if it’s an established relationship you’re falling deeper in love. For those who have been together a long time your love life will feel renewed this year. No matter what stage you are at in your relationship expect it to take a big leap forward. Singles will find they’re more attractive to the opposite sex. You’ll feel as though you’ve gone from famine to feast. Better to avoid Leo’s as a love match but Sagittarius will have you trembling at the knees and offers a passionate relationship that is never boring. Sagittarius will never be dull, especially if you love the outdoors. Aquarius has it all in 2010. Happy relationships, money and long trips. You are being guided forward so expect changes where they are needed. It’s a domino effect. For Valentines singles should make plans with friends for as I say you can expect anything at this time.

Pisces

It’s possible for you to win the Nobel Peace Prize this year, or an Academy Award. You will find you are so popular this year that anything you wish for will probably come your way. Singles will not only be dazzling to others you will find a mutual attraction to someone magnetic. Single have an ideal year for relationships, especially 1^st, 2^nd and 4^thquarter. Valentines Day should have you on a popularity list and it probably isn’t a matter of are you celebrating Valentines Day with someone but more likely “which one” is the question. Either way you’re not going to be single for much longer. Couples can enjoy a deeper connection to their partners and Pisces can expect to be spoilt with romantic dinners and presents. If you’re looking for a connection that’s earth moving Taurus is for you as long as you aren’t emotionally needy or bossy, as they won’t tolerate either. Otherwise romance lies in the arms of a Cancer. They’ll be dependable but also able to meet you emotionally.
