It's no guarantee that you're going to get exactly what you want but the chances of finding personal happiness are increasing this month. The source of this is Venus, the planet of amour, which enters your sign on February 3. This only happens once a year so it's worthwhile to put more time and attention into romantic matters now.

If you're in a relationship, this is an excellent opportunity to rekindle the spark that got you two together in the first place. If you're single, this transit of Venus through your sign is ideal for upgrading your appearance, your attitude or your approach to others. The root of this is self-love since you can't get from others what you're unwilling to give yourself. Make sure to find positive attributes that should be recognized on a regular basis. If you're raising your status or sense of self-worth in relationship to someone else, he or she will feel diminished rather than cherished.

Venus does, however, meet some obstacles on the road to romantic success this month. Her stressful square with expansive Jupiter on the 6th could lead to raising expectations too high or making promises that are difficult to keep. If you do go too far, Venus' tense connections with Pluto on February 9 and Saturn on February 18 are likely to put your feel solidly back on the ground.
