Aries: This year will be an unpredictable one for most Arians. The unattached will find new love, while those already going around may have to really work hard to sustain their relationship. March and April are important months for the unattached as love comes their way. Those looking for a soulmate will get lucky. Your circle of friends may also undergo a major change.
Taurus: You need to realise the difference between love and lust. This year there are chances of you getting into unconventional relationships that may seem very promising in the moment, but do remember that moments never last a lifetime. Those who are hitched need to be careful. Letting go of your present partner for new temptation would be a mistake, so keep a check on your emotions. No matter what, avoid acting in haste.
Gemini: There's a good news. The chances of you meeting someone either through work or at work in the coming three months are very strong, with some even getting involved with The Boss! I would not call this last 'love', rather it's just about having fun. Those in love may also be separated from their loved ones for a short while post-June.
Cancer: All right!!!! its time to rock. Love is right there knocking at your door. The lucky ones may tie the knot. Those of you planning to tell your parents about your love will be able to do so, and also convince them to give you their blessing. Some may even find a special sweetheart through the Internet. And despite the physical distance the relationship will grow.
Leo: Planning to get your lover home? Well now's the time. The route? Via Mommy dearest. The unattached may go through a very stressful time as you may get attracted or even get involved with someone with whom the future looks bleak. Some may end up in a relationship triangle, which makes them feel insecure. Attachments with a married person are also on the cards. However, things will balance out after October and you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Virgo: A past relationship may get revived, but only to go away after six months. So it's advisable not to build up your hopes for a long term future again. Marriage is a strong possibility though you may have to compromise and/or go away to a far off land. Those who are married will find the revival of romance in their present relationship, as their spouse does things that make them happy.
Libra: Some may have a change of heart, with a present relationship breaking up. Hasty decisions will have to be avoided during the months of May/June. It's best to remember, at this time, that hasty decisions are often regretted later on. The unattached find new friends though it's advisable to go a bit slow. Only go ahead after you have come to really know this person, as this new person could be very addictive. You may also make a life-time commitment towards the end of the year.
Scorpio: Your time for love is already here. Some may find true love while others may find a true companion. It would be a spiritual connection as Jupiter aspects not only your love life but also others houses that are religious and spiritual. You are ready to tie the knot. The chances of travelling with a loved one increase this year. It could also be that you undertake pilgrimages with a soulmate.
Sagittarius: This year is more about physical pleasure than mental or spiritual bonding. You may get involved with more than one person simultaneously. Travel and pleasure seem go hand in hand. Some of you may even spend a lot of money. But, whatever you do, be sure to keep a check on your health.
Capricorn: Though your love life seems fine this year, some of you may be forced into a commitment in spite of your not wanting it. You may be a bit confused but if the person is Important to you then please go ahead, as after October there are chances of you losing a loved one due to your avoidance of commitment. Tension with your spouse is possible, so weigh your words before speaking.
Aquarius: You need to be patient as you will go through a lot of confusion on the love front. Things may not be as they seem or you may just land up having constant arguments with your lover. Any which way, you will have to balance things to sail through this period on an even keel. Some may experience a tendency to doubt your loved one in the coming seven months.
Pisces: You have a reason to smile. Singles will find their partners, and there's also a chance of travel with a loved one. For those already in relationships, your lover may be very demanding at the moment. Things may even go a hill haywire in the coming four months but that's a temporary phase, so curb your irritation. Be still and silent for a while and you'll be amazed at how much better your relation is.

Valentine's Day - Should We Confine Love to One Day?
Love is in air, romance is ruling everyone's mind and the markets are flooded with chocolates, cute stuffed toys, mushy greetings cards and other goodies with lovey-dovey messages. Yes, it's the day of lovers and friends, the day to express your love and affection to someone very special and to celebrate and spend time with someone who means the world to you - your beloved, your valentine!
Valentine's Day is here along with the season for cards, roses and chocolates. But sad is the fact that not many of us know its true importance and the reasons for the widespread celebration of this day. Today, it is just another excuse to celebrate, to exchange gifts and for the card and chocolate companies to make some quick money.
Youngsters view the day as the reason to go out on some extra-special dates, to propose to their crushes and to make some new girlfriends or boyfriends. But the very beauty and importance of the day has been lost in this commercialisation.
Valentine's Day has been connected to various stories. Legend links the day to a Roman priest, Valentine. It is believed that Emperor Claudius II forbade young men to marry as he felt that unwed men made stronger soldiers. Valentine disobeyed the emperor's orders and solemnised the marriage of the young couples. He was apprehended and the emperor condemned him to death. St Valentine suffered martyrdom on 14 February 270 AD and, ever since, Valentine's Day has been celebrated on 14 February.
Today, the meaning of the day might be confined to expressing love to your boyfriends or girlfriends but the day is made for you to express your feeling and warmth to all those for whom you care, anyone can be your valentine - a friend, a soul mate, your parents, your siblings or just about anyone who occupies an important place in your life. It is the day for sweethearts - be it your lover, fiancee, wife, husband, brother, sister or anyone with whom you share a special bond.
Different people feel differently about the hype that surrounds Valentine's Day. Some wonder why the expression of a special emotion should be confined to one single day. Love is like magic and the day it comes into your life, that day becomes even more special than Valentine's Day. There is not something that you can plan.
On the contrary, for a few, it is about keeping one day apart for the whole of society to come together to make their loved ones feel special and worthy. Valentine's Day celebrates all shades and spheres of love. It is the celebration of love of all kinds. Even if you are not in a relationship, you can celebrate the day with equal zest.
No matter what your age is or to what part of the world you belong to, if you value love, togetherness and heart-felt emotions, it is the day for you to celebrate. Besides the gifts, cards and lovely red roses, it is the day to lock some wonderful memories forever into your heart. It is about celebrating a special bond and to appreciate someone in a very unique and exclusive manner.
And just remember, feelings are beyond the fragrance of the flowers and the mesmerising words on a card. Someone's wallet does not measure the love he or she has for you.
Everyone has a different perception of the importance of Valentine's Day. If you truly love a person then the whole year is as special as Valentine's Day, say some people. But there are others who wait the whole year to say those three golden words to someone, "I love you."
NO PLANNING FOR LOVE
For Laura, every moment that she spends with her loved one is special. She does not need a special day to express her love and gratitude to someone whom she holds too close to her heart, although she feels that Valentine's Day gives one another excuse to party or have a nice dinner with family and friends. You take time out from your hectic work schedule to spend some valuable moments with your loved ones. But that is where her definition of Valentine's Day ends.
Aryan has a similar opinion. According to him, love cannot be planned. It can happen any time, on any day, at any moment.
He does not think that it would become more special or everlasting if you express it on Valentine's Day. You might take the day as an opportunity to reassure someone of your love for him or her. It is just like any other day when you tell your sweetie how much he or she means to you.
For Jim and Stephanie, Valentine's Day has double importance. It is the day when the two of them got married 15 years ago. At that time, they were not even aware of such a day, so it is not very special one for the two of them.
There are some who believe in spreading love every day while, for others, Valentine's Day is as special and important as the other festivals we all celebrate. Some find stuffed toys that say, "I Love You" or "You are special" really cute while, for others, they are the most stupid things to gift someone. The perception of Valentine's Day is different for every individual. Valentine's Day is a day solely devoted to love, warmth, affection and togetherness. It is the day to raise a special toast to a relationship that means the world to you.
But, in recent times, it has just become another way for people to make money. It is kind of hurting to see the day and a beautiful emotion being measured and judged in terms of material presents. Probably this is the order of the day, as we see that even other festivals have become all about exchanging expensive gifts.
True love does not need a bouquet of a hundred roses or a sparkling diamond. It is more about the depth of your love for someone.
And for those friends, who do not have a valentine, don't pull a long face. You can indeed have loads of fun even if there is no one special in your life to whom you can dedicate this day.
CELEBRATION TIME
Just go out for a party with all your single buddies and eat, drink, dance and make merry. No one says that you can't celebrate Valentine's Day if you don't have a date. And you never know, you may arrive back home with the one you were looking for.
So go out and explore. Plan a get-together of all your old buddies. Spend the day watching a movie and just hanging out with friends. And if you are feeling bad about the fact no one is there to shower gifts on you, just gift yourself. Buy some cool stuff for yourself.
Decorate your room with flowers, candles and pictures of the most memorable moments of your life. And if you are good with words, just go ahead and write something special to make the occasion special.
Just make yourself feel exclusive. Celebrate the day by pampering yourself and making your surroundings pleasant and beautiful.
Valentine's Day is not about confining love to one day or measuring the depth of someone's love and affection in material terms. It is just about devoting a day solely to all your loved ones.
It is like giving everyone a common platform to celebrate the happiness of being with someone, dedicating 24 hours to spread, express and celebrate love and the emotion that has the power to overshadow all realms of life.

Roving Eyes and Heartache
Amy's husband, Stephen, keeps ogling beautiful women at parties. It annoys Amy as she thinks that his behaviour is not gentlemanly. She feels embarrassed when she wonders what impression the ogled women will have of him. But Any also knows that Stephen is a very loving husband and she has full confidence in him.
Ramola is a pretty woman but her husband, Tony, a non-smoker, keeps looking at women who smoke, even if they are ordinary-looking. He ogles them with intense fascination as if mesmerised by them. His roving eyes keep following them throughout the evening, although he never flirts with them.
But Ramola feels hurt. It was after a long time when he confided to Ramola that he liked women who smoked. He then produced a cigarette packet and asked her to smoke. Ramola did not agree but, just to please him, put a cigarette between her lips. The lovemaking which followed that was intense.
Michael is a big flirt and will not mind having a change of taste by cheating on his lovely and devoted wife, Meryl, if the opportunity presents itself. He not only ogles women from a distance, but also tries to find out if any of them is approachable. He hangs around women ignoring and hurting Meryl.
When unaccompanied by his wife, his roving eyes help him to locate vulnerable and willing women for fun and he does not miss chances of one-night stands. Roving eyes can cause a lot of heartache for the spouse of the ogled. Women always remain under the mortal fear of their men drifting to another woman temporarily or permanently.
In many cases, the woman ogled may not be aware of the silly actions of the ogler. Even if she notices him, she may just ignore him, despising him as lewd, uncultured and foolish. Bachelors are always on the lookout for a perfect partner or someone to have fun with. Many of them do not want to make any commitment to anyone and want to remain free.
They then stare at susceptible women and use gestures, appreciation and sweet talks to give them a hint of their liking for them. But once they succeed in their mission of being intimate with the women, the chase stops and they move on to someone else.
Likely reasons for a husband having a roving eye
1) Other women look more attractive and sexy than his wife is to him.
2) Inability to withstand the temptation and thrill of gazing at women who appeal to his imagination, whom he can fantasise about.
3) The dream of getting closer to the object of his liking and enjoying a rollicking affair if things work out.
Suppressed or apparent anger towards his wife.
What you should do if your husband has a roving eye
Look at yourself. Have you started taking your partner for granted? If you have, try to look sexier and more attractive. Try and rekindle the romance in your married life. Dress well. Try to look pretty. Give exclusive time to your partner. Speak softly and in a loving manner. Don't nag. Remain caring and sharing to tie him closer to you. Keep him company whenever possible...
If he ogles a particular kind of women, take note of this kind and try to emulate her good points. Even you feel hurt when he ogles other women, remember that confronting him will not carry you far. Instead, just laugh, tease him or ignore his behaviour. You can show your annoyance in a subtle way without being rude, getting agitated or making a scene. It is best to talk the matter over at home in a relaxed atmosphere without passing caustic remarks or having tears in your eyes.
Advice for men who cannot stop ogling
Be rational and ask yourself what you are searching for in other women. Is it something which your partner does not have? If you have some special fetish, ask your partner whether she will meet those needs of yours.
Draw up a list of all the qualities your wife has; all the good qualities which helped you to live through all these years. Then think about why you want to act silly now jeopardise your family life.
Think hard and reason out the points for and against your actions. Your actions may bring shame to you and lower your esteem in the eyes of the woman who had a good opinion about you all this time. See, what are you gaining and what you will lose. Most certainly, you will make your wife unhappy and your family life will be disrupted.
If you really love your wife and children, you will never invite trouble for them with your unscrupulous behaviour.
Some people are so egoistic that they cannot withstand any criticism at home and the moment it happens, they start looking for solace in someone else's arms. Are you this sort of person?
Husbands should remember not to let the romance diminish in their own married lives. They should do the small things which make life interesting and romantic. It is the small things in life, which keep the fire burning. Be vocal and demonstrative with your wife.
THE PERILS
Beware of the perils which ogling other women may bring on you. What will be the plight of an ogler if his wife starts to ogle other men, flirts with them or actually gets into an illicit relationship with one or many as revenge on him?
If your husband is an ogler why don't you as a wife ogle him and encourage him to ogle you in return, both at home and outside. Whenever possible, express your love through your eyes. Wink at him discreetly, send a flying kiss and throw him bewitching smiles.
Actually, your partner's roving eye may be a good sign. What do you lose, in fact, if he builds up his appetite by ogling, but eats a hearty meal at home later? The ogling may just increase his libido and desire. However, the pitfall is that he may physically drift towards the other woman and develop a new relationship at your cost.
So take care, but do so wisely.
