ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "When I was a teenager and in my 20s, my love life always got spicy during the summertime. Now that I’ve been married and divorced, my new single status has me longing for that ‘summer love’ again. Am I too old for that kind of delusion now? Is summer of 2002 too soon? I’m on a fitness mission to be bikini-ready by then. My birthday is May 5, 1948. Please help me figure out what to do."
Summer love is certainly coming to you, and it’s because you are willing to put aside your cynicism in order to experience this kind of giddy, naïve love. Be willing to see the "superstar" quality in the object of your affection. There is no reason you can’t be swept up in a teenage-like romance. In fact, Virgos will have a highly romantic summer. For a frivolous fling, Gemini and Aquarius are perfect. You are easily fascinated by their zest for life. For a slightly more serious attachment, Capricorns and Scorpios are especially attractive. In the long-run, these signs will be completely trustworthy and good for you. One new characteristic Virgos are displaying is their desire for honesty in all relationships. Next summer, you’ll be so hot on the scene that you needn’t change a thing to attract potential partners. Your initial forthrightness will help you forge more rewarding emotional bonds.
