Vivacious Venus turns retrograde this year on March 6, setting the tone for your relationships. This shift in the planet of love's direction—while always important—is especially significant now because it occurs in your 5th House of Romance, suggesting a major reevaluation of your heart's desires and the best strategy to attain them. Rein in your impulses, even if it seems to take some of the fun out of life. What may be enjoyable in the moment might not produce the enduring satisfaction you seek. When Venus turns direct on April 18, you may have resolved a critical issue, freeing you to move in a more rewarding direction. An innovative approach to partnership opens the door for you to enjoy greater intimacy without feeling smothered thanks to a Solar Eclipse on July 21. This critical event in touchy Cancer falls in your 8th House of Deep Sharing, which usually indicates separation. Surprising Uranus makes a creative trine to the eclipse, however, reviving a fading relationship or revealing ways for you to make new connections where closeness and freedom can coexist.

Overall Trends
This year challenges you to balance outer responsibilities with a deep longing for freedom. Taking small steps toward increasing your independence gets better results than acting on impulse. An open and expansive state of mind helps you imagine new possibilities for resolution. You have enhanced powers to inspire others by sharing your ideas, especially when you're expressing yourself from the heart. Public speaking, teaching and writing lead to unexpected opportunities.

Love
Your ability to connect and communicate is stronger than ever this year. If you're looking for love, get out and circulate -- friends and neighbors could introduce you to someone special. From March 6 to April 18, Venus travels Retrograde in your 5th House of Romance -- not an auspicious time for new beginnings. Instead, focus on reconsidering your heart's true desires, and resolving relationship issues from the past.

Career and Finance
At the end of October you complete a two-year cycle of intense focus on your career and long-term goals. Organizing, simplifying and finishing one project at a time can help you reach the finish line successfully and gain the recognition you deserve. Feelings of restlessness -- peaking in February and September -- can serve as motivation for bringing more excitement into your work. Develop new skills to enhance your earning potential.

Health
Greater sensitivity to subtle energies this year means that you could be more susceptible to allergies or environmental influences. But your body is also more likely to respond to energetic and spiritual healing methods, like meditation and prayer. Be open to experimenting with alternative approaches. While Mercury is Retrograde in your 6th House of Health from May 6 to 30, rework your self-care habits and schedule extra time for rest and regeneration.

What to Look Forward To
There's no limit to where your mind and imagination can take you this year. You don't need to travel far to find inspiration -- short trips, classes, book groups or writing projects awaken your visionary potential. When you communicate your dreams and ideals, you attract allies who can help bring them into reality. May, July and December are especially auspicious times for taking the risk of sharing your intuitive perceptions.

What To Watch Out For
While your mind expands to the far reaches of the galaxy, your challenge is to discern the difference between distracting fantasies and genuine inspiration. Be patient enough to listen closely to what's being said, and gather adequate information, rather than letting your imagination fill in the details. Dream big, but do your homework before taking action.
