A lot of hard work and a little bit of magic are the keys to your heart this year. Generous Jupiter, the ruler of your 5th House of Romance, is in strategic Capricorn, where planning produces results. Aim high when it comes to love, since settling for the middle can sink your hopes to the bottom. You have an opportunity to build a ladder to heaven, but must be willing to do the arduous work necessary to make it happen. Jupiter is in your 6th House of Self-Improvement, motivating you to study your emotional patterns and daily habits, and then changing or eliminating whatever gets in the way of your happiness. Two eclipses in your 7th House of Relationships represent a changing attitude or even a change of partner. The Solar Eclipse on February 6 is conjunct Neptune, the planet of ideals and illusion. It's time to wake up to the reality of your present situation, rather than maintaining hopes or fantasies that stop you from addressing issues in a concrete way. Neptune is prominent again during the Lunar Eclipse of August 16, another reminder to temper relationship dreams with a major dose of realism. Still, Neptune joins the Moon's North Node in your 7th House of Partnerships on May 8, which can put you in a magical zone of soul connection that heals your relationship wounds. Forgiveness and faith open the way for unconditional love.
