Dear Angela Bassett, The world of romance is a very special dance indeed, and you deserve to know the next steps. Your 12-Month Love Tarot Reading reveals when passion will flow and how to make love grow. We wish you much romantic happiness! Best Wishes, The Astrocenter Team

This month, you're focusing on a higher love. Good for you, dear Paul. The card you have drawn for March, Judgement, indicates that you are through with one-night stands and flashes in the pan. Nothing but the real thing will do. This resolution is powerful, and you could find what you're looking for sooner than you think. And you'll know it's true love, because it will feel different than past relationships you've had. For one thing, you won't feel the obsession and constant weight of anxiety over whether your partner finds you attractive and worthy of his or her love. You'll feel secure, which will free you up enjoy your partner to the fullest. And although you won't want to dwell on the past, think about it long enough to realize that you've gotten where you are through past "mistakes." Don't look at them as failures, but as valuable experience, without which you wouldn't be where you are today.

What are you most afraid of concerning your love life, Paul? Is it fear of being alone? Fear of rejection? Fear of your family name or status if you marry "beneath" you? These fears could come to pass this spring, unless you make a conscious effort to resolve them. The card you have chosen for April, the Devil, indicates that you could think your worst fears into existence, especially if you continue to repress and deny them. Thus, you might fall madly in love with someone who fails to meet one of your non-negotiable criteria. He or she could be of the "wrong" race, religion, social class, etc. Or, you could be engaged to marry the "perfect" mate, only to realize a week before the wedding that you're not in love. This will leave you in a fine emotional dilemma - the stuff of a Hollywood romantic comedy. Indeed, if you weren't so worried and afraid, you might find your situation comical. And that's the final message of the Devil: Learn not to take yourself so seriously.

What better time than spring to fall in love, Paul? Even if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, where the seasons are reversed, May is an excellent time to find someone who makes your blood hot and your knees weak. It will be about more than just a sexual attraction, though - strong as it may be. True love is based on more than physical chemistry alone, which tends to wear off fairly quickly. The Lovers card indicates that you'll find a deeper love. Just be forewarned that meeting your life partner could be destabilizing! There's a reason it's called "falling" in love. Emotionally, you'll be all over the map.

June is naturally a time when our thoughts turn to love, but you will be in isolation. Your card for this month, the Hermit, suggests that you have some heavy issues on your mind and in your heart that you must resolve before you can give yourself fully to romance. You would do well to heed this inner voice, dear Paul. Jumping into a relationship before you're ready won't just complicate your own life, but someone else's as well. And don't think you can have a relationship that's purely physical. Whether you're making love or "just having sex," you and your partner are bonding emotionally. If you have deep-seated emotional issues that you need to work on, you'd be far better off doing it on your own. This might feel like punishment, but rest assured that it's not. You will end up healthier and happier, and as a result, your relationships will be healthier and more fulfilling, too.

The Emperor indicates that you'll be in a stable situation this summer. This could mean that you've found a relationship in which you feel secure. Or perhaps, dear Paul, you've found a way to be happy remaining single. Although you probably know intellectually that no one can make you happy, like many people, you may still believe that you can't be truly happy unless you're in a relationship. If you're not with anyone by July, stop looking. Rather, work on your inner self, spiritually and emotionally. This will do wonders for your self-confidence. You'll be in charge of yourself, without needing someone else to feed your ego or reaffirm your self worth. With this command of yourself, it will be easier to find someone who's right for you.

The card you have drawn for August, Death, indicates a period of upheaval in your love life - crises, break-ups, reality checks, etc. These changes may be welcome, or you may be dragged into them kicking and screaming. If you fight change and try to hang on, you could cause yourself a lot of pain as you are forced to confront aspects of your love life that you have refused to acknowledge until now. Face these issues head on, dear Paul, so that your personal metamorphosis can take place. Remember that the Death card does not symbolize physical death. To the contrary, it means the end of a cycle, after which there is rebirth. While this may be painful, it is nevertheless essential. To ensure that this period is beneficial, you will have to come to terms with some emotional wounds from your past. This is the only way that you will be able to have a healthy and stable relationship in the future.

It's not enough to be in the right place at the right time. You have to be ready, too! The card you have drawn for September, the Wheel of Fortune, is a reminder that you have a hand in your own destiny, dear Paul. If the man or woman of your dreams walked into the room right now, would you be ready for love? Think before you answer that question! So often we sabotage our own chances for success without being aware of it. Love isn't as accidental as it may seem. You attract a mate based on what's in your own heart and soul. Do you know what's lying in those murky depths?

In October, you may need to resolve some conflicts between you and your partner, dear Paul. The Empress reminds you to stay composed and steady. There's no reason to panic or to fly off the handle. Conflict happens when two or more different kinds of energy come in contact with one another. Emotions are energy. So, if one of you feels one way about something and the other feels differently, conflict inevitably will result. Rather than being imperious and imposing your will, make an effort to find a workable solution that honors you both. The Empress in this position indicates that you can find a healthy balance in which you make concessions to your mate without compromising your integrity. This is possible only within a truly loving relationship. If you can meet and surmount this challenge together, your union will become even stronger and more loving. It's a chance for you both to grow.

Fall is a time for discovering the wonders of romance, dear Paul. The card you have drawn for November, Temperance, is a symbol of harmony, joy, and good relations. We often think of temperance as meaning "moderation," and that is true in your case to some extent. You've certainly experienced periods in your life in which you desired someone so wholly that you couldn't eat, sleep or concentrate. You might have been obsessive in your sexual appetites as well. Sex is critical in a love relationship, but it's not everything. And it needs to be in balance with other aspects of your partnership. The Temperance card indicates that you will have this balance, which in turn will allow you both to grow in all respects. The deeper meaning of this card is an exchange with each other on a profound spiritual level. This is true love.

All of the pieces of your romantic puzzle fall into place this season, dear Paul. The World, your card for December, is the best indicator in the entire Tarot that you'll get what you want - presuming, of course, that you've worked for it and that you're worthy of such a precious gift as true love. Whatever your individual circumstances, the World indicates that you are ending one phase of your romance and entering a new cycle. It could be as simple as sharing a first kiss and deciding you want to start dating, or you could be walking down the aisle at this time. Or perhaps you got married earlier in the year and discover that your first child is on the way. Spread your happiness around, but don't gloat. Otherwise you could provoke jealousy and ill will.

The Fool indicates that your relationship in January may not be as stable as you think it is, dear Paul. Yet this is not necessarily negative or detrimental. You may in fact need a shakeup in order for your relationship to be more fulfilling. If you're not with anyone but wish to be, then the changes that must take place are within yourself. Accept and embrace this reality, and the radical changes that take place will be liberating. However, if you fear the unknown and fight change, an upheaval will occur that could be extremely destabilizing. A word to the wise: The Fool can entice you to run away, to neglect your responsibilities, and even to go as far as leaving everything behind and starting a different life. This would be foolish indeed. Running away won't solve any problems in the long run, and jumping into another relationship without understanding yourself and your motives could result in another situation like the one you're in now.

Your card for February, the Tower, indicates that this month will contain a shocking event. Your current relationship could break up with no warning, or your spouse might file for a divorce. If you're single, you could fall head over heels for someone who has problems and drags you into them. Your own situation will be unique, dear Paul, so it's impossible to predict. The good news is that it will be just one phase in your love life to be endured before moving on to something better. The other cards in this reading will tell you more. Pay special attention to your summary card. Also, keep in mind that dire means sometimes are required to change a bad situation. Some people are so afraid of the unknown that they will stay in an unhealthy relationship, justifying their lack of action by telling themselves "it's really not so bad." If this sounds like you, you could spare yourself the impending crisis by taking affirmative action.

Your love life over the next twelve months is best summed up by the Sun, symbol of love and light. How wonderful for you, dear Paul. When we're in love, we light up the world for everyone around us. Your heart is open, and in this state, you get everything you wish for. Your love relationship will be filled with love, affection, and mutual respect. You'll have fun together, too! You'll want to go out and be seen. The two of you might even embark on a creative project together. Perhaps that "creative project" will be planning your wedding! Now, this can be a stressful exercise for couples - and a telling one. Not that you won't have some disagreements, but they will be minor. Overall, you're on the same wavelength. Better still, the in-laws should be cooperative and happy to expand their families through your partnership. Likewise, if you want to start a family, there's no better time. If you already have children, they will bring you pride and joy.
