Looking for love in the stars this year? Find your astrological sign below and get some insight into your Zodiac romantic forecast for 2011!

Aries: It’s yours for the asking
Fiery, passionate and insistent, you can make some major love moves this year. Jupiter gallops through your sign at high speed for the first six months of this year, giving your whole life an energetic restart. Focus on your heart, not your head, and be open to all of your dating options. Venus visits your sign around your birthday, forming a crescendo of charisma and opportunity, followed by Mercury retrogrades that can turn your old flames up to full-tilt bonfires. Love can come at any time this year, so keep your eyes and your heart open.

Taurus: Deeper connections are blooming
Your romantic energy will creep up slowly, signaling an inkling of change is afoot: a whisper of powerful love is coming soon. Meeting, greeting and dating are key for you this year — so get off your couch and out of the house. Your ruling planet, Venus, joins Jupiter in your sign this June, culminating in energies that have been gathering for some time. The second half of the year is all about exploring and enjoying your newly upgraded charisma. Let your heart speak for itself, because words can’t define the feelings that come with great love.

Your romantic ideals take you into new territory for the first half of this year. Beware of whiplash, because your head could turn quickly… and often! There will be those who want more attention from you and, as usual, you’ll have a hard time focusing. Just use those helpful Mercury retrogrades in April, August and November to reorganize your love life. There’s a chance that cosmic, karmic love will come a-courting with an offer you can’t refuse. It’s unpredictable — just the way you like it.

Cancer: Potent and full of possibilities
Powerful energies in your career sector can easily distract you from engaging in romantic play. Make the best of gorgeous Venus aspects in February, July and December, and use Mercury retrogrades in April, August and November to assess your love-life progress. The upturn in your career gives you a great self-esteem boost, as well as increasing your magnetism. Don’t hide at work — instead, be sure to ramble out of your hole now and then and let the world admire your power (and attract your attention).

Leo: An illuminating year lies ahead
Recharge your batteries while the planets permit you to do so, because you won’t have a lot of downtime later. Spurts of romance will punctuate a very busy, adventurous year. You’ll be in full flame by March with a push from Jupiter to meet new people —intriguing foreigners, perhaps? — and it’ll be hard for you to focus on just one person. Mercury retrograde joins Venus in August to perform a romantic realignment. By autumn, you’ll find yourself fascinated by someone else — and luckily, it’s reciprocal. How do you feel about adoring someone and not just being adored? Kind of nice, right?

Virgo: Get frisky this year
Your year starts off with an irrepressible urge to flirt thanks to Jupiter in Aries. Your new-found appetite for romance opens more doors, leading you to new people, places and potential love interests. Although you’d like to set your eye on just one person, the planets want to keep your options open until around your birthday. After August, harvest the relationships that have had a chance to grow without supervision. A hands-on/hands-off approach is your style in 2011.

Libra: A simply lovely year for love
After working so hard for what seems like eternity, you’re ready for a little fun. Jupiter enters your house of romance and partnership, which is the sweet spot for Libra. January 22 marks the beginning of a long parade of romantic opportunities. Don’t race through them, though. Like a box of chocolates, you must sample, savor, and toss what you don’t care for from your list of potential partners. Romantic energy gets emphasized in April, May and again in the fall — but you’ve got all year and then some to fall in love. Resist the urge to settle on the first great kiss you get — there are many more to come.

Scorpio: Dating becomes effortless
Being a careful sort, this year will please you when it comes to dating. Jupiter’s shift into Aries awakens fires within you that have lain dormant for the last year, and by April, you’ll find you’re ready to turn on the flirting full-throttle. It’s all in preparation for Jupiter’s June shift into Taurus, your house of partnership. What starts as casual dating gradually evolves into fledgling relationships. Slow and steady, Venus hits your sign in October. If you’re ready, willing and able, your love life can hit the peak you’ve always craved.

Sagittarius: Ba-da-bing! You’re hot to trot
This year brings a ready-and-willing energy for you right out of the gate. Venus pushes you straight into flirtation and Jupiter shifts into your house of charisma, empowering you with undeniable date-worthy prowess. The first six months of the year will feel almost hyperactive for you. By June, you’ll seek solace in the quiet side of pleasure (a lazy leisure can be also be very cuddly!), and taking a slower pace allows love to take hold of you. The Mercury retrograde in November will reveal the one who means the most to you — no need to figure that out before then.

Capricorn: A unique year ahead for you
It’s a year you can’t control, which is probably a good thing. Venus catches up to your sign in February and makes you indescribably alluring to others — don’t miss out on dating opportunities in early spring! Jupiter’s move into Taurus will give you another kick in the romantic pants in June. By this time, you should be well aware that Cupid is in the driver’s seat and you can’t put on the brakes. Your biggest problem this year is going to be figuring out how to fit everyone into your social calendar. Not really a big problem, right?

Aquarius: Feel you spirits getting lifted
Your nature takes a more chatty turn this year, and your quirks and wit can’t help but attract some new love interests. While you’re feeling more social than single, you’ll enjoy March when Venus enters your life, matching you with all sorts of unexpected, unlikely, and very pleasing options — just the way you like it. A Mercury retrograde in Leo during August can recall a romantic moment from your past, giving you a chance to rewrite the original ending. You are fully in charge of your own heart, so keep it open and you can’t lose!

Pisces: Enlivened by personal metamorphosis
As the universe shifts its spotlight away from you, there’s relief and relaxation ahead. All the huge personal changes you addressed in 2010 have led you to your new, best self. Venus will now dance lightly through your life, invigorating you in April, July, August and September. Dating plays a key role in figuring out the person that you’ve become when it comes to finding love. Your heart is bigger, your dreams are more colorful, and you’re ready for a great romance. Let yourself ease into it — it’s meant to be delightful fun, not a test of your endurance.
