It can be said that growing love is like growing roses - we must tend to our relationships in the same way as we do our gardens. No one plants a garden in the middle of winter because a system that relies on cycles - meteorology - tells us that if you do, the weather will work against you.

Astrology predicts cycles for people and our human projects, including relationships, the very same way. What a marvelous tool for navigating the waters of love!

How will the planets influence your love life this year? Read on for a sneak preview of what you can expect when it comes to intimacy, romance, and relationships in 2006.

Aries:
(March 20 - April 18)
Way back in July of 2005, serious Saturn set off for fiery Leo, the beginning of a two-and-a-half-year trek that would take the teacher planet through your ordinarily freedom-loving house of love affairs. In other words, after years of enjoying your footloose and fancy-free lifestyle, you've recently begun to think about settling down. If you're attached, expect this from 2006: closeness, closeness, and more closeness. If you're single, remember one thing about all your relationships this year: Promises made will be promises kept. Guaranteed.

Taurus:
(April 19 - May 19)
You may start out 2006 in solo mode, Taurus, but there's no way you'll finish it that way. You'll have far too many benevolent planetary ambassadors handy for that to even be a remote possibility. However, you should also know that there will be absolutely no way to keep the paparazzi from finding all about anything you do. Expect pictures, the media, the whole shebang. So, if you don't want anyone to know about your love dalliances, there's only two ways to guarantee that: Either don't do it, or meet your partner in crime in Paris.

Gemini:
(May 20 - June 20)
For years, you've been dealing with a tough planet in your relationship zone: Pluto, planet of intensity and depth. He's been in your house of partnerships for about 10 years, so every encounter has carried a "'till death do us part" solemnity. Sir Pluto's not going anywhere just yet, so you can continue to expect all those casual encounters that should amount to nothing more than a simple hello and goodbye to either teach you a lesson, or allow you to teach one to someone else.

Cancer:
(June 21 - July 21)
With frugal Saturn standing guard in your house of finances, it's taken a court order to pry that plastic out of your wallet since July 2005. If you want to buy something extravagant for a loved one this year, better do it early. In fact, try to get all your shopping done for the year from July 22 through September 7, when impulsive Mars will happily overrule Saturn's no-spending-for-any-reason-or-else moratorium. If your sweetheart's birthday falls afterward, you're all set. If it's before, remember: a "romantic experience vs. expensive object" gift really will mean more in the long run.

Leo:
(July 22 - August 21)
For a long time, Leo, you've been dealing with some pretty darned strange admirers - and wondering if there was something painted on your forehead that was causing it. It's not. It's all three of the outer planets: Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus. They've conspired to bring you intense, obsessive - and really, really "odd" suitors, so you may not have dated much, if you're single. Of course, you attached Leos have probably wondered what the heck happened to that nice, sweet person you used to know. Abduction, maybe? Relax. You'll have some nice, long breaks from the craziness this year. Relish them.

Virgo:
(August 22 - September 22)
Pluto - the deep, intense energy planet - has been holding court in your house of deep-seated emotions for years. Needless to say, during 2006, you'll need to watch your emotions carefully. Don't let petty issues turn you obsessively angry. Be especially careful during March 2 through March 25, especially when it comes to misunderstandings caused by outside influences. That goes double for the Eclipses this year involving your sign, on March 14, and September 7 and 22, all of which will bring relationship issues to a head, for better or worse. Keep that legendary calm.

Libra:
(September 23 - October 22)
If anyone loves romance, Libra, it's you. It's your specialty, it's what you're famous for, and it's what your partner expects. You'll have an awful lot of help continuing to conjure up romance in your love life this year, too, thanks to lovely lady Neptune, who, next to Venus, is the heavens' most famously romantic planet. Of course, as you've probably already learned through your interactions with Neptune, you've got to be careful - because Neptune doesn't just introduce you to someone. She convinces you that this, finally, is your Prince or Princess Charming. When in doubt, ask an earthy friend for an objective opinion.

Scorpio:
(October 23 - November 21)
Like your opposite sign, earthy Taurus, you may start 2006 solo, but not too many bookies would put odds on you finishing it that way. On March 2, Mercury will turn retrograde in your house of love affairs until March 25. Over the course of those three weeks, you could well rekindle an old flame - and again, possibly, in October and November. In fact, from mid-October to the end of November, there will be five planets in your sign, and a New Moon, too. Better hire a social secretary in January.

Sagittarius:
(November 22 - December 20)
Do something new this year, even though it doesn't come naturally to you: don't automatically take people as they seem to be. Do some investigation before you let them get close to you, especially the ones whom you immediately find extra-appealing - and most especially (secretly) because they seem to be a bit dangerous. You could be right about that - the dangerous part, that is. Nobody's saying you can't do what you do best - mingle. Just be a bit more discriminating for a little while. You've already got a huge list of admirers to choose from, anyway. Don't be greedy!

Capricorn:
(December 21 - January 18)
Your very own planet, General Saturn, the purveyor of all things built-to-last, has been in your house of intimate matters for the past half year. His presence has insured that you've grown closer to the one you love, and if you're in a commitment that's made it through the past two years, it's going to be 'til death do you part. Stern Saturn's presence in this area of single Capricorns' chart means that all relationships, whether friends or potential lovers, that haven't fit the bill will now be cleaned out for good. In 2006, you can be sure that the wheat will be separated from the chaff, with a good harvest to follow.

Aquarius:
(January 19 - February 17)
You've always been described as "detached, unbiased, objective and aloof." All those adjectives, of course, were assigned to you well before Neptune entered your sign and your house of personality in 1998, back before you learned just how "soft" and "sappy" you could feel simply by taking care of someone or something who needs you. The good news is that your significant other - the one you may or may not begin the year with - will end up even more deeply in love with you after all those good deeds. Heroes and heroines are quite attractive, after all.

Pisces:
(February 18 - March 19)
Erratic Uranus has been bouncing off the walls in your house of personality, and you - sweet, mellow, ordinarily calm and quiet you - are to be congratulated for playing host to this unstable, unusual, rebellious planet, since 2004. That's a long time to put up with feeling, quite literally, possessed by an unpredictable madman. The good news is that with loving Venus making her way through your house of groups in solid Capricorn from January 1 until March 3, you could be feeling quite possessed in a different way. This time, you could be obsessed about someone you've only thought of as a friend - in the past. Use some of that Uranian boldness to make an equally bold approach. It could make 2006 an extremely memorable year.
