The road to true love has always been a little rocky. After all, love is between two people, and everybody is a little different, and sooner or later their desires, needs and wants are going to conflict with your desires, needs and wants. So don't flip out on the 1st and 2nd if there's a little tension in your twosome. This stuff just happens! And you'll be all the stronger for it, once you work this stuff out. On the 3rd, 4th and 5th, you might wish for a little less emotional intensity. But remember back to when you were single: All you wanted was emotional intensity!

It is really good and really important and really necessary to totally focus on work, sometimes. But don't be disappointed if this leaves little time for romance!

What's the best way to meet new people? Through friends, and friends of friends, and friends of friends of friends, of course! So if you're wondering whether or not you should go to that party on the 1st, the answer is: Yes! Absolutely! No question! You just might meet someone very special there. And if you don't, you could still well meet their best friend, who will spot you and think 'yes, they are perfect for my best friend.' Or someone who will say, 'Ah, yes! For my best friend's friend -- perfect!' So put on your party jacket and get out there! Low energy on the 4th and 5th?

Relationships. Do they ever get easier?

You're torn on the 1st and 2nd. One minute you want one thing (or person), and the next minute you want something (or someone) else. This probably has a lot more to do with you than them, by the way. So just sit with your emotions, however uncomfortable it may be, until you have some much-needed insight into what the heck is going on with you. Once you've cleared away some of those cobwebs, you'll be able to really enjoy the totally romantic days they have planned for you on the 3rd, 4th and 5th. And you'll see: Your doubts had nothing to do with this lovely person in your life at all!

This is a month for exploring and experimenting. You want to make absolutely sure that you use this very open time to try new things out. That's especially true when it comes to love and relationships. Every chance you get, experiment with new ways of communicating. Go out on different kinds of dates -- and, if you're single, with different kinds of people -- than you are used to. But you don't want to spoil this phase of your life by committing too soon. So on the 1st, try, try, try, but don't let yourself get tied down. Take stock of where you're at and what you've learned on the 5th.

You can't always be taking care of everybody else all the time and still have enough energy left over for romance, you know. This could become particularly clear when you fall asleep during their recital of the love poem they wrote for you on the 1st. When you wake up from the embarrassing doze, it's time to ask yourself some hard questions. Are you happy with where your energy is going? Are you missing out on the softer side of life? How can you get your 'you-time' back?

You are not so very unlike so many of your fellow human beings in that a great day, for you, involves some great romance! And this month is all about great, for you, which means there is a lot of romance in store for the two of you. Lucky them! They'll get a taste of how great things are going to be going out with you the oh-so-lovely-and-lovey-dovey 1st. By the 3rd, 4th and 5th, you are getting really into your creativity. So get creative telling them how you feel!

You've got a gleam in your eye and a spring in your step on the 1st. Your skin is glossy and your shirt's a little rumpled. You just can't stop smiling. Oh my! Could it be love?

Oh, romance! Sometimes it just doesn't make any sense. On the 1st and 2nd, your job is to accept that some emotions defy logic. Sure, you hate to give up your solid analytic understanding of the world. But in this case, sweet pea, you love who you love and there's just no rhyme or reason to it. You feel ready to open yourself up to their logic-defying love on the 4th and 5th. Wonderful!
