Long Distance Relationships by Sign (continued)

Use your Sun sign's strengths to keep your love alive

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Let your partner know what your expectations are in the relationship and how much of a commitment you are willing to make. If she or he has different ideas, use your negotiating skills to create an agreement that works for both of you. Taking initiative and being up front are great ways to build intimacy.

    Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
    All long distance couples all go through spells of missing the physical intimacy other couples take for granted. Obviously you can't reach across the miles for a lusty kiss every day, but you can turn on your webcam. Use your sultry charms to treat your lover to a sexy cyberspace striptease.

    Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
    Pursue a common interest, even if it means pursuing it apart. Study the same foreign language and converse and send each other messages for practice. For a reward, plan a vacation where you can use your new language skills and test your fluency. Common interests are great relationship builders.

    Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
    Indulge your nostalgic side by planning events based on good memories you have shared. Revisiting romantic places always recharges a relationship. Create photo albums and scrapbooks you can look at together for strolls down memory lane whenever you want, and keep a copy at both of your residences.

    Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
    You may actually appreciate the distance between you and your partner because it allows you to maintain your individuality -- something that can get lost when couples spend too much time together. Be careful, however, that you don't distance yourself emotionally.

    Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
    You love to escape from reality to recharge your creative batteries. Invite your partner to join you by playing a fantasy game together over the internet. When you are able to meet up for real, create a dreamy setting and continue your fantasy play in person. It could add an extra spark to your love life.
