Later, loving words you were waiting for are finally spoken and love between couples is amazing.

Single? Check out a Taurus with a familiar voice.

AQUARIUS

January 21 to February 18

The prize centre of your chart is working so well – you think fast and even lucky guesses could be winners.

But what pleases and excites you the most is an award for a hardworking relative.

Romantic words from someone who is usually so plain-spoken give you new love options and should be thought through.

PISCES

February 19 to March 20

What you need from a partner emotionally and what you have to give in return is changing.

The key is knowing you are always there for each other. This can make passion and friendship so strong.
