Love Forecast for 2009
Not so Fast
Impulsively jumping into a new relationship isn´t your usual style, but this isn´t a typical year when it comes to matters of the heart. You´re inclined to express your feelings without considering their impact as sensual Venus spends most of February–May in spontaneous Aries. Nevertheless, you´d be wise to monitor your involvement so you don´t jeopardize your stability, especially as Venus retrogrades through your 4th House of Security from March 3 through April 17. Make the most of Venus´s harmonious trines to indulgent Jupiter on July 26 and October 28 by revealing your romantic desires selectively, leaving others more likely to respond with enthusiasm.
