Gentle and tender, warm and nurturing, you have been put on this earth to love and be loved. No sign is more sensitive or intuitive, and you are the first person that your friends turn to for comfort. It is only the fear of being hurt that stands between you and a truly lasting and passionate relationship. You have to learn to trust and to take chances, to say exactly how you feel and what you want. You're dreamy, a real romantic, but rather too apt to brood on past hurts

This fire sign kindles a flame in your heart. You are red-hot for love and emboldened. If you have a partner already, they won't believe their luck now (although the change in you is unnerving at first). If you have still to find a soul-mate, the chances are heightened, as you get out and mix more. Job offers come out of the blue, too. Cancer's sensitivity with a dash of Leo's own legendary generosity makes an appealing mix. Beware of being too self-dramatising or demanding.

On a sensitive sign like Cancer, Virgo exerts a soothing and calming influence. But if you are quiet and reflective, this should not be mistaken for a weakness. Indeed, you have never been stronger and are simply taking control of your life, taking stock of your situation. Perhaps you should now be renewing wedding vows - or finding a new love altogether. Perhaps it is time you were properly rewarded for all your hard work.

Your artistic talents come to the fore and now you have the time to indulge in them. This might mean writing, painting or composing - or just bringing some artistry to your day- to-day life. You become far more accepting of others' foibles and your love life is serene. Who would have guessed that life could hold so many treats in store? Leisure is not one of these, however, as your home becomes the still centre of a social and family whirlwind.
