Love Horoscope 2017

Romantic promises and revised living arrangements will be a key theme for the first few months of 2016. Early in February many Virgos will be required to state their feelings and needs more obviously in long-term and family relationships. Between February 6th and March 28th expect loved ones to ask pointed questions or actively move relationships to a more intimate or committed level. Decisions may take some time to come this year but they will be the right ones: expect long-term relationships to either move forward by early April or begin fading. Single Virgos will likely experience a series of romantic choices in late March or early April: if so, expect new relationships to quickly take on a passionate or emotionally intense quality. 

This year love and attraction will be obvious and fulfilling: after mid-April expect to begin an intense 3 month period of active progress in romance and serious life decisions. Many Virgos will be leaving behind unproductive social promises and bringing more realistic romantic agreements into their lives. The summer months are a time of travel, shared accommodations, changes in living arrangements or finalized property matters. Don't be sluggish here: it's best to clearly state your needs at the beginning and let others make the necessary choices. This is an excellent year to set firm romantic goals and solidify the boundaries in home relationships. Both family members and lovers will respond positively to a sincere expression of love: it's time to speak your mind. 

Feel like your priorities have shifted recently? Pluto is bringing the importance of friendships into sharp focus. That is not to say that you should neglect your one-to-ones. Of all the signs, you love heady romance and being the first thing in someone's thoughts in the morning, and the last thing at night. None of that has to be compromised, but you might find yourself accepting more invitations from friends, or joining groups, which will inevitably mean less time for that special someone. Pluto's intention is to make you focus a bit more of your time on your individuality, either on your own, or in harmony with your partner. 

If you're single, get ready to mingle because you are going to be radiating an inner spark and confidence that will draw admirers to you like never before. If you do have a type, it's going to be knocked sideways this year and the boxes you thought you wanted ticked could suddenly lose their lustre. Think of love as an adventure. The attributes you once held aloft will be joined and in some cases replaced by new ones and this will reinvigorate you to the point where you'll expand your social circle as well as meet a different type of potential partner. It's goodbye to casual encounters and hello to feelings so strong and meaningful that they could alter the course of your life and see you swimming of into the sunset. 

Beginning in late January many Leos will begin a six week period of open communications and honesty with loved ones. After January 9th expect a close friend or romantic partner to ask probing questions about the past or demand significant changes to present relationships. Some Leos many also encounter the return of an old lover at this time. If so, expect increasing complications and a slow loss of control in your emotional life. Refuse to return to yesterday's romantic obligations or expect a present day lover to change their habits, traditions or characteristics. 

For many Leos 2016 is the year for making relationships work on their own terms: remain attentive and use this time to abandon yesterday's romantic illusions and sincerely address present day priorities. Early April may, however, bring a few stress points: expect lovers or new acquaintances to be highly expressive or extremely competitive of your time. 

Long-term romance may be easily challenged by outside influences, social conflicts or family interference: if possible, avoid isolation or cross purposes in love relationships between April 3rd and May 19th and all will be well. Late in July your entire romantic world begins to move steadily forward: after July 23rd expect all that you have worked towards to become steadily predictable, enjoyable and more committed. 

Single Leos can expect to begin a new long-term relationship between July 23rd and September 6th. A powerfully emotional year: for many Leos the need to share their life with someone will become extremely obvious before the end of September. Don't hesitate to follow your heart: this year is the right time to bring added intimacy and new romantic commitment into your life. 

It can be all or nothing for you in affairs of the heart. Jupiter and Pluto are brining love into the main frame for you this year, Leo. In the confines of a relationship, you'll know exactly what it is that you want, like a glacier cutting through a mountain. Pluto is going to reshape your landscape of love and put a whole different complexion on things. Don't balk at this. It is in no way negative, just that dynamics are going to be redefined and improved for all concerned. You hate disorganisation and the feeling of control slipping through your fingers, but you'll have little choice but to relinquish some control to Pluto as the year progresses. Issues of control and the occasional power struggle could creep into your one-to-ones. Try diplomacy in the first instance to diffuse problems. 

You will ride this through unscathed if you resist tying to arrange emotions in an orderly fashion and alpabetise them. Loosen up and enjoy yourself this year. Jupiter will give you a strong sense of justice and you won't take kindly to people ignoring your needs and feelings. Rightly so. Those looking for love will feel a stronger than usual pull to someone, underpinned by equally as intense feelings of commitment. Don't rush in where angels fear to tread. Take your time and revel in the attention by being alluring. An affair with a younger person could be on the cards, making you feel young at heart once more. Remember Pluto is the planet of deep sexuality, and when Venus meets Uranus this year, you'll be very hot property indeed.

The emotional consequences are high this year: before mid-March new romantic involvement will intensify in your life. Single Cancerians can expect to enter into a difficult but highly satisfying relationship while already involved Cancerians will soon be asked to publicly state their plans, family ideals or long-term intentions. Don't hesitate to take action: over the first few months of 2016 practical complications in love relationships will come to an end. What this means is that over the coming few months financial agencies, legal documents or disruptions to the home will now longer be an overwhelming influence in romantic relationships. 

Some Cancerians may also find that this completes an almost 8 month cycle of daily struggles in relationships or emotional misunderstandings with family members. After mid-April watch also for a powerful wave of physical, sensual and romantic energy to arrive. Many Cancerians will soon begin a brief but intense period of reclaiming their sensuality and/or exploring new sexual ideals. Offer new expression and social creativity: this is a positive time to improve relationships through physical closeness and serious, long-term discussions. 

Much of 2016 will bring important changes in relationships: all of which involve making peace with issues of acceptance, trust and private communications. The summer months will also move many Cancerians to begin marital relationships or enter into life partnerships. Emotional completion and romantic awakening are subtle themes this year: many Cancerians can expect to find that both friends and lovers have been waiting precisely for this kind of change. 

You are going to rock someone's world this year, that's if you're not already of course. After surviving all the rigours of the past few years, your lion heart has emerged intact, stronger and beating ten to the dozen. In fact, I'd say that you are going to look like the cat that got the cream this year, as you look ravishingly hot, radiating physical strength and vitality. This fiery glow won't help but attract lovers into your lair if you're single and keep the flames of passion burning in a lasting union. Later on in the year, Pluto, planet of transformation sparks lots of palpitations over new love interests. This is a time when the drama of romance will come into play and you'll be right at the epicentre, in your element. It could be a love affair that is intense and passionate, but not necessarily long lasting. And this may suit you both down to the ground. 

Looking for something more meaningful? Those types of liaison are also out there for you to explore. Existing love can burn brighter than ever this year, but expects some ups and downs and changes out of the blue. And if the relationship survives what Pluto throws at it, it's pretty much a dead cert that it will last a lifetime. Whatever the nature or duration of your love, you'll get the urge to mine to get out of someone their all, eschewing superficiality and learning all the way that the Plutonian ties that bind are the stuff of fairy tales. 

2016 is the right time to ask for increased understanding between loved ones or push for reliable social commitments. For many Geminis a new love interest may present itself in the first few months of this year. Even though family or emotional discussions may intensify between mid-January and late February, planetary aspects indicate that a recent period of restriction in relationships and romantic withdrawal is now coming to an end. Before mid-March expect a new attraction to captivate much of your attention. 

Pace yourself with this, however; many Geminis may now find that deep emotion or the idea of long-term commitment is both intense and just a little unnerving. Early in April some Geminis may begin a 4 month period of profound change to their love life and renewed ability to explore relationships. For many Geminis all that has been holding them back emotionally will no longer be in operation: key areas of concern may be distrust between lovers, family interference or the inability to connect with an appropriate romantic partner. Throughout much of May and June family or home needs may dramatically expand. 

All of this will have strong romantic overtones: expect relocation, living arrangements, co-habitation or family planning to be a key concern. Watch, however, for a brief period of scattered emotional energy and unusual social demands in the last few days of June. If so, expect friends and lovers to be unable to publicly commit to social events or be extremely involved in family or business concerns. Take none of it personally: remain patient and watch for lovers to regain their emotional footing. An important year for relationships: deep emotions and long-term decisions will be a continuing theme for much of the next 12 months. 

You may feel slightly directionless during the first half of the year, and very much at the whim of others. Pluto is pushing for change and a rebirth while Jupiter is giving you the confidence and wherewithal to make the necessary leaps of faith and commitment. Make sure this is never far away from your thoughts. Change is going to happen whether you like it or not, but it is not to be feared as Jupiter will champion your cause throughout. If you think a relationship has run its course and you are just hanging on, then you can't run away from the inevitable forever. 

On the other hand, if you feel like you haven't given it your all, it could be regenerated this year, to the point where it all feels brand new again. The spotlight will really fall on your partnerships come June, when Pluto moves back into your partnership house, and this is the period when you'll see the most profound change to your personal circumstances. A close encounter for the single among you, however brief, could stir up passion and encourage you to plunge new emotional depths. Give into this and enjoy the intensity. After all, what's the point in being guarded your whole life through and insulating yourself from potential hurt. Time to live life, Gemini and experience truly life-changing love in an eye-opener of a year.
