December 13 – love is definitely in the air.

It might surprise you to know that happiness and fulfilment for you this year doesn't lie in having a relationship. In fact, the more you can stand on your own two feet (even within the context of a relationship) the better. Be a good partner, if you have someone you love, but avoid being co-dependent. June through to August will be a good time to sort out issues with your partner or ex.

August 13 – focus on your feelings.

Romance them and spoil them and you should find they return the favour – that or you get disillusioned and move along. This could be such an uplifting year for all your relationships. **Hot dates **May 8 – a day of amazing changes and radical turnarounds. July 24 – you could get a second chance in love.

Healing is the keyword for you in relationships now, as the chaos planet Uranus finally exits your Love Zone after a stay of seven years. Choose the right people to love, and even the most broken heart can be healed. Love and relationships matter so much to Librans, so this should come as great news.

One thing you really need to remember this year is that if you love yourself, others are more likely to love you too. Saturn's influence in your chart will also affect your own personal self-worth – in other words, how much you value yourself. It's human nature that if we don't value ourselves, others won't either. This is your major lesson for the year ahead. Master it as soon as you can. Overall though, your love life, and your whole life, will be easier in 2018.Hot datesJanuary 21 – set aside some time for love today! May 30 – excellent for talking through love issues. November 23 – perfect for a date night/fun and loving.
