Your relationship with the males of the zodiac

ARIES

Your relationship with Mr Aries:

Exciting biting, if a little combustible. Let Aries make the first move and keep practising the art of coming second. The Aries individual can do everything better than you can, so don’t even think of competing. Sex will be speedy but intense, and may fade out rather too soon for your liking. Your biggest problem will be overspending and accusing each other of being to blame. (Please get rid of all firearms and sharp objects.) Your greatest strength is in your joint ability to get over hurts and upsets quickly.

Rating 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Taurus:

This has potential. The Bull won’t mind your making the first move but after that step back. Taureans are great lovers – very sensuous and plenty of stamina. They’re patient but once they blow, run for cover. Stubborn is their middle name and they hate change. Your biggest problem lies in Taureans taking their time and your wanting everything yesterday. Your greatest strength is making a success of the business of marriage, and in having something left for your retirement.

Rating 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Gemini:

One of the best. Geminis hold your interest. They’re versatile, smart, sociable and fun to be with – even their dark side gets you going! The sex is terrific at the start but Gemini needs a huge amount of erotic stimulation after a year or so. Your biggest problem lies in arguing – The Twin hates scenes and you love them. Your greatest strength lies in enjoying life and doing things together – you also give each other space, which ensures the longevity of the relationship.

Rating 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Cancer:

Bumpy. You’re both so different. Emotional, the two of you, but while you’re a fire-cracker, the Crab is an ocean of feeling. Cancer is thrifty, cautious and a traditionalist. They won’t like going to new places or meeting people they doesn’t know. Sex can leave both of you feeling you missed the point. Your biggest problem is communication – you two just don’t talk the same language. Your greatest strength lies in your love for your children and the time spent with them.

Rating 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Leo:

Intense. Leo is forthcoming – you won’t be in any doubt as to how they feel at any point. The Lion is also the most important person in the relationship. (Never forget that.) This is a proud, generous and fun-loving sign, but only as long as you haven’t put their noses out of joint. Sex is a mutually enjoyable experience, and must reach its target – orgasm. Your biggest problem is learning to give and take. Your greatest strength lies in your ability to be each other’s best friend.

Rating 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Virgo:

Mmm… This person’s mind was probably what attracted you in the first place, while he or she basked in the haze of your charisma, but long term, it takes a lot of work. Icy silences and different interests/friends/ passions characterize your relationship. Sex can have its moments, as long as you tune into the dark side. Your biggest problem lies in your emotional differences – Virgo cannot take your outbursts and you cannot cope with this sign’s reticence. Your greatest strength is being there for each other.

Rating 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Libra:

A good match. You are polar opposites which makes for a strong attraction and a mutual regard for your differences. Mr Libra is the zodiac’s Mr Darcy, and you are Bridget Jones: Ms Libra is Elizabeth bennet and you are Forest Gump! (Not really, but you know what I mean.) Libras are always ready to talk about the relationship. Sex, while good, lacks spontaneity. Your biggest problem lies in pushing that which is unpleasant under the carpet. Your greatest strength is helping each other realize your ambitions.

Rating 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Scorpio:

Sizzle, splutter and zap! Sex is the great bond between you but over the years that passion can lead to furious fights. Scorpio is a mystery you like to solve but their secretive ways annoy the hell out of you. They can be possessive, jealous and very cold and cruel once hurt or rejected in any way. Your biggest problem is your wanting satisfaction now and Scorpio’s needing time to think about it. Your greatest strength lies in your ability to fight tooth and nail for each other and for what you jointly hold dear.

Rating 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Sagittarius:

An adventure. The Archer is an ideal companion, a kindred spirit, but not the most stable and consistent of partners. The sex can be boisterous and uncomplicated, but you might not feel you are the most important person in the world. Sagittarians can also bend the truth to cover errors and indiscretions… Your biggest problem is dealing with responsibilities (you’ll have to be the one to check the accounts). Your greatest strength is kicking over the traces and starting again, and again, and again.

Rating 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Capricorn:

Lurching from crises to cross-roads. What begins as the most wonderful affair in the world develops into a battle of wills. The sex is great though, even when you’re at war. Capricorns never do anything in a hurry. They value the tried and tested, which fortunately includes you. (Never get into overdraft; there will be reprisals.) Your biggest problem lies in your being extrovert and he or she introvert – The Goat sees you as irresponsible and you see him or her as dull. Your greatest strength is fighting the good fight as a team – and winning.

Rating: 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Aquarius:

Never a dull moment. You two have a mutual respect for each other, and find happiness in the simple things of life. Aquarius will expect you to know that he or she loves you, so don’t keep asking for compliments and reassurances – if they’re still with you, that’s your answer! Aquarians also value their friends and acquaintances (hundreds of them) so stop getting jealous: scenes won’t work. Your biggest problem is finding time for each other. Your greatest strength lies in allowing each other to be individuals as well as partners.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Pisces

Equal quantities of magic and misery. The Pisces Fish is very difficult to pin down, whether to a life commitment or an opinion, so keep them on a loose leash while supplying oodles of love. Sometimes you’ll get a cold Fish, but deep inside he or she is a raging torrent of emotion, and needs the same hot/cold treatment. They’re not the most reliable of creatures but you’ll never be short of romance. Your biggest problem is paying the bills. Your greatest strength is in staying in love forever.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Aries:

Peaks and pot-holes. Aries is adventurous and very attractive to you. The Ram gets you all hot and bothered so that your common sense disappears out the window. Sex is so good it’ll blind you to their faults. They’re go-getters but rather selfish and will strain at the leash if you keep them tethered to hearth and home. Your biggest problem lies in your wanting stability and security and their needing excitement and adventure. Your greatest strength lies in your ability to make each other laugh.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Taurus:

Predictable. You have met your mirror image – and that means not only your beautiful side but the ugly one. Another Taurus is never going to let you down but he or she may never make you go all of a quiver either. You’ll practice safe sex. You’ll have a long courtship and a very durable marriage. You’ll have a life-plan and you’ll make it work, reaching your targets, come what may. Your biggest problem lies in your mutual fear of change. Your greatest strength lies in never having to say you’re sorry.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Gemini:

Unpredictable. Geminis are fascinating to you. No one has quite the same quick mind and street-sense. The Twin is terribly inconsistent though and fidelity isn’t quite their ‘thing’. Sex should never be planned – this air sign doesn’t perform on demand. Forget about reminding them of a previous opinion/event/priority – that’s the past, a place they never return to. Your biggest problem lies in your lack of flexibility and his or her inability to stand firm. Your greatest strength is in knowing that the good parts of your relationship far outweigh the bad.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Cancer:

Two hearts beating as one. Cancer is a near-perfect match. The Crab is caring and sensitive to your needs, and the two of you just dote on each other. Mr or Ms Cancer has been hurt in the past and don’t like showing their vulnerability but you make your partner feel loved and secure – and vice versa. Sex is loving, sensuous and frequent. Children are essential components of your happiness. Your biggest problem is allowing resentments to fester. Your greatest strength lies in being there for each other, till the end of time.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Leo:

Hot stuff. You can barely get out of the bedroom, you’re so into each other. It’s when that passion starts to fade and you have to begin the work of marriage that the cracks begin to show. Leo likes everything his or her way; she always has to be in the right and he won’t like being reminded of his misdemeanours. They are faithful and ambitious and generous, just never wrong. Your biggest problem lies in your mutual stubbornness. Your greatest strength lies in your unending commitment to each other.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Virgo:

Safe. Virgos are thoughtful and considerate. They won’t rush you, press you or shout at you but they will nag. The Virgoan loves your sensuousness but a little more complex sexually. He or she will be happy to let you run the relationship and they’ll love basking in the shade of your accomplishments. Just don’t get your facts wrong. Your biggest problem lies in reaching each other at core level. Your greatest strength lies in making the relationship work – whatever life throws at you.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Libra:

OK on the surface; trouble deep down. Libra is a love magnet. How can you resist that charm, those looks? They’re everything you want in a partner. And yet. You are a mite too down to earth for the Libran and he or she is a little too picky and refined for your liking. You want someone who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty and sweating it out from time to time. Sex, by the way, will be very romantic. Your biggest problem lies in achieving real intimacy; your greatest strength in doing your best to please each other.

Rating: 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Scorpio:

The real deal. You two are polar opposites yet you complement each other more than you repel one another. Passion is a given and sex will provide a source of constant emotional nourishment. Scorpio can be a little too secretive and prone to silences for your comfort but you can always find a way of bringing them out of their cave. Your biggest problem lies in your mutual refusal to back down. Your greatest strength is knowing that once either of you have said you’ll do something, you’ll do it.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Sagittarius:

Fatal attraction. Sagittarius hits all your soft spots then burns you out. The Archer difficult to catch and even more difficult to hold down once you’ve got to first base. Sagittarian lovers can make you feel insecure and the more you try to appeal to their conscience the further away you’ll drive them. Sex is great to begin with but you need more, in every sense of the phrase. Your biggest problem lies understanding each other. Your greatest strength is learning from each other.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Capricorn:

Harmony personified. You two resonate sweetly with each other. You rarely fight and you gaze out at the world through the same window. Capricorns are solid, reliable and meet their responsibilities. The Goat is an excellent lover and you’ll be enjoying sex to a ripe old age. However, if you want fireworks, you’ve got the wrong person. Your biggest problem is failing to take the occasional risk. Your greatest strength lies in agreeing on everything that really matters.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Aquarius:

Out there! Aquarius is the innovator and the iconoclast of the zodiac, and you are conformity with a capital C: you like to know where you’re going and when. Not so Aquarius. This sign is emotionally reticent and not overly interested in sex – they’re quirky that way – but, like a fine wine, the Water-bearer improves with age. Your biggest problem is being on the same wave-length. Your greatest strength lies in liking each other as well as loving one another.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Pisces:

You were made for each other. You bring his dreams into reality and the Fish teaches you to trust yours. Their emotions are as deep as the sea, and their way of dealing with the world just as fluid. (Pisces needs an anchor and you’re it.) He or she may not be the most reliable person in the world but they’ll make you feel loved. And the sex… Divine. Your biggest problem is being without each other. Your greatest strength lies in knowing that nothing else matters as long as you have each other.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Aries:

Multi-coloured and many-faceted. You could just have found yourself The One. This sign has a great spirit of adventure; Mr and Ms Aries keep you on your toes. They’re never dull but always in charge, and they’re not good listeners. Sex is never going to get in the way of the rest of your relationship: if it’s good, that’s great; and if it’s not, there are other things. Your biggest problem is facing the dark side of anything, including each other. Your greatest strength is moving onward and upward.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr aurus:

Not without merit. Taurus is dependable and practical. The Bull can fix your problems and make a great meal, all at the same time. And they’re not whingers. Whenever you want sex, they’re ready, willing and able. Perfect, eh? The trouble is you can have too much of a good thing… And you need your partner to be a bit of a challenge. Your biggest problem lies in your love of change and their pathological distaste for it. Your greatest strength lies in not making a big deal of every tiny issue.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Gemini:

Two peas in a pod! You have found your soul-mate. Or, perhaps not. One day everything is great, and the next it’s not. Your Twin has as many moods and faces as you do so one of you has to take on the role of task-master and time keeper (Saturn, that is) and it’s probably going to be you. Sex is not a physical thing between you, it’s all about mind on mind… Your biggest problem is finding time for intimacy. Your greatest strength lies in knowing that life is too short to stuff a mushroom.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Cancer:

A mystery. Cancerians are very sensitive and defensive, and they don’t do well in a verbal skirmish, whereas you do. Thus, a lot of bruised feelings lurk behind any snappy, crabby behaviour. Sex is an even bigger mystery. Mr or Ms Crab will make you feel very special and they’re marvellous with the family, but please don’t expect them to be enthusiastic globe-trotters. You’ll be travelling alone. Your biggest problem is understanding each other. Your greatest strength lies in caring deeply for your offspring.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Leo:

Like a breeze on the savannah. The Lion’s warmth, enthusiasm and generosity bring out the best in you. Mr or Ms Leo makes you feel sexy and the sex is great. And because they’re such sunny characters you don’t mind pandering to their oversized ego. They appreciate your quick wit and fine mind. You do have arguments but they’re easy to resolve, almost always via the bedroom. Your biggest problem is in liking each other’s friends. Your greatest strength lies in enjoying life to the full.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Virgo:

A sparring match. Virgo has as quick a mind as you, and a more detailed set of facts to support his or her argument. You love their brilliant discourses but not the way they cut you down to size. After the pheromones have done their job, sex is downhill all the way. Nonetheless the Virgoan does hold your interest and rarely gives in easily, which means your relationship has staying power. Your biggest problem is admitting you’re wrong. Your greatest strength lies in your unspoken respect for each other.

Rating: 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Libra:

Enviable. You two are quite the couple. You’re on everyone’s party list. The Libran is a charming foil to your quicksilver personality. He or she is fair and balanced, and never one to shout. Sex has all the right ingredients but somehow it never quite satisfies. Certainly this relationship can go the distance but to really capture your heart, you need a more complex and emotionally driven partner. Your biggest problem is finding a deep emotional connection. Your greatest strength lies in knowing you can talk about anything.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Scorpio:

Curious. You have different ways of looking at the world but you share a passion for the dark side. Sex is mesmeric and runs to extremes both in the way of advanced practices and all or nothing. You bond quickly and intensely; then wonder if you can really live with each other. Scorpios are loyal but devious, and as brilliant as you at playing games. (Scorpio will win, by the way, even if that means you both go down with the ship.) Your biggest problem is feeling at ease with each other. Your greatest strength lies in knowing when to throw in the towel.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Sagittarius:

A fairground ride. Sagittarius is your polar opposite. You can both be commitment-shy; you are both independent in mind and spirit, and you are both eternal students of life. But while you are cool, cool air, the Archer is hot, hot fire. Saggies can warm the cockles of your heart while you can help distance them from their dangerous enthusiasms. Sex is part of the relationship, not all of it. Your biggest problem is dealing with bureaucracy. Your greatest strength lies in realizing you have a friend for life.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Capricorn:

A good business decision. You two can work together, you can even live together but you’re not really and truly at home with each other. Capricorn is a realist and a traditionalist. The Goat doesn’t like experimentation and does not see discussion and debate as an art form. Sex can be whenever you want it. (Remember the horny Goat…) But they might be a tad dull for you in the long run. Your biggest problem is in finding the joy in each other. Your greatest strength lies in coming together in a crisis.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Aquarius:

Future perfect. Aquarius is the wind beneath your wings. The Water-bearer has a mind that fascinates and a pig-headedness that doesn’t. You see, you’re a mutable sign and adaptable but they are fixed and pretty immoveable. Sex will be fine at first but may peter out unless you’re prepared to cross a few erotic boundaries. This individuals are loyal to you and they’ll never knowingly let you down. Your biggest problem is not talking about what really matters. Your greatest strength lies in creating joint goals – and reaching them.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Pisces:

Love in a mist. The Fish is elusive and you can be a little difficult to pin down too, so getting the relationship off the ground is your number one problem. And even when you’re together, you may have difficulty staying on the same page. This sign is different, and experiences many problems with the material world. Sex can be dreamy but at some point you’re going to have to get out of bed and pay the bills. Your biggest problem is living up to each other’s expectations. Your greatest strength comes from your spiritual approach to life.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Aries:

A tempest in a tea-pot. Mr Aries has qualities you admire – courage, daring, vigour and machismo. You may think he will protect and provide for you, but you’re wrong. Mr Aries puts himself first, and you and the family second. At least when he’s young – the years do mellow him though. Sexually, there are sparks, but he’ll ride roughshod over your emotions and you’ll exact punishment by rejecting his advances. Your biggest problem is living together. Your greatest strength lies in not giving up easily.

Rating: 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Taurus:

Mellow yellow. This is your ideal mate. Mr Taurus gives you all the stability and constancy you crave and once he’s told you he loves you, he’ll always be there for you. Sex and love are inextricably linked and a source of healing and nurture for the two of you. You may even be one of those couples who never argues, although if you do, it takes a very long time to thaw out. Your biggest problem is letting go. Your greatest strength lies in loving each other more as every year goes by.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Gemini:

Thirty degrees of separation. You two may be next door neighbour signs but you’re as different as chalk and cheese. Mr Gemini is a Peter-Pan figure: he comes late to family responsibilities and finds fidelity a challenge. Nonetheless, there will be an attraction between you that goes beyond sex and has more to do with the mystery you each hold for the other. Your biggest problem is trust. Your greatest strength lies in finding solutions.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Cancer:

Crab heaven. Once you two get together – and this can take time, since you’ll circle each other pretending disinterest for rather too long – you’ll never let go. Mr Cancer is caring and concerned; he believes in family and he’s as keen as you on faithfulness and truth. He is rather moody though… Sex will be loving and tender and there will be as many variations as there are phases of the moon. Your biggest problem is dealing with hurts and resentments. Your greatest strength lies in sticking by each other, come what may.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Leo:

Molten lava. Talk about smouldering passion… When this relationship works it’s fantastic, but when it doesn’t, there’s no point dragging it out. Mr Leo is your protector and provider and you are his supporter and sustainer. He can be dominating and somewhat self-obsessed but when he loves it’s the whole nine yards. Sexually, you are a dream team. Your biggest problem is forgiving and forgetting. Your greatest strength lies in absolute commitment to each other.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Virgo:

A good thing. Mr Virgo is not a flash in the pan. He does not fall in love easily, although under his practical veneer lies one of the great romantics. You bring out the best in him, and he has an understated way of making you feel safe, secure and valued. He is a complex soul and emotionally self-contained but he feels understood by you. Sex is not a physical act but a route to true union. Your biggest problem is your joint sensitivity to criticism. Your greatest strength lies in working as a team.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Libra:

A lost cause. Air-water combinations (and we’re talking astrological elements here) are always tricky. You thrive in deep emotional waters while Mr Libra struggles for air. Yes, there can be tremendous initial attraction but in the long run this man is just too detached for you. You can be very materially successful as a couple but sexually you’re not in the same bedroom. Your biggest problem is dealing with each other’s essential differences. Your greatest strength lies in putting business before pleasure.

Rating: 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Scorpio:

Tendrepoison.* Mr Scorpio is right up your estuary. You two tune into and manipulate each other like the master magicians you are. You don’t even have to talk to know what the other is thinking. This man is a sexual magnet and you can enter a tantric state without even trying. The trouble is you are both suspicious and possessive, which can lead to murderous scenes followed by frosty silences. Your biggest problem is being too paranoid for your own good. Your greatest strength lies in meaning what you say.

Rating: 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Sagittarius:

A bumpy ride. Mr Sagittarius likes getting away from home base and you are a home bunny; the celestial Archer acts first and thinks later while you are all foresight and caution. But you can make beautiful music together in the bedroom. On balance though, this is rather too much pain for too little gain: there are other pebbles on the beach. Your

biggest problem is seeing things the same way. Your greatest strength lies in knowing there’s a reason you’re together, and one day you’ll find it.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Capricorn:

A growing concern. Mr Capricorn is your opposite number and it is the attract-repel syndrome that makes for a long-lasting and mutually rewarding relationship. This man is reliable, ambitious, protective and family-oriented. He’ll consider it his job to look after you and the family and you’ll know exactly where you are with him. The sex will be frequent and satisfying. Your biggest problem is being too conservative. Your greatest strength lies in making your old-age the best time of all.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Aquarius:

A challenge. Mr Aquarius is Mr Cool in every sense of the term. He’s a law unto himself and it’s no good expecting him to open up emotionally to you. (He knows a lot about a lot of things but not a lot about his emotions.) As far as sex goes it’s a case of less is more. He’s also very stubborn and opinionated. Still interested? If so, please develop a very thick skin and get used to non-sequiturs. Your biggest problem is getting together in the first place. Your greatest strength is learning that love has many forms.

Rating 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Pisces:

Bliss. You and Mr Pisces are swimming up the same river of life; you sense each other’s every move, which is why sex can be eleven on a scale of one to ten. Mr Pisces may not be the most dependable soul on the planet, and he is easily distracted, but you can’t stay mad at him for long. He needs looking after. More importantly, he needs you to make his dreams come true. Your biggest problem is finding enough time to do everything you want to do. Your greatest strength lies in being on the same page.

Rating 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Aries:

Signs of promise. Mr Aries is a fellow fire sign so this is a relationship that has a speedy and passionate start. This man is a leader and he won’t take lightly to your trying to run the show; on the other hand, he will admit his mistakes, and, since he loses enthusiasm quickly, he won’t mind your taking over those tasks, missions and enterprises he’s left half done. Sexually, you’re in synch. Your biggest problem is who plays second fiddle. Your greatest strength lies in having so much fun you forget the bad times.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Taurus:

Heat and dust. Mr Taurus is the strong and silent type, so the initial attraction can be strong but for the long haul you two butt heads too many times for comfort. Yes, you’re both as stubborn as each other but the Taurus man is truly immoveable. You’ll have all the sex you want and more but is it enough to compensate for all the frustrations of living together? Your biggest problem is backing down. Your greatest strength is making a commitment and sticking to it.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Gemini:

A lasting joy. You and Mr Gemini have much to give each other: you bring him warmth and help him open up his heart while he encourages you to gain distance when you need it, and to be less intense about life. Sex may not set all the bells and whistles going but you both know there’s more to love than that. (Mr Gemini’s main erogenous zone is his mind, by the way.) Your biggest problem is finding time to be alone with each other. Your greatest strength lies in knowing you have a friend for life.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Cancer:

Yin and Yang. You two are natural partners: you are both creative and emotionally driven; you both extol fidelity; you love children. However, you are fire and he is water, and you know what happens when you pour water on fire, and vice versa… Mr Cancer goes into his cave far too often. He’ll also withdraw sexually if he’s nursing an unspoken grievance against you, so sex can become a bed of hostilities. Your biggest problem is his thriftiness and your extravagance. Your greatest strength is the love for your family.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Leo:

Ring of Fire. Now, just who is going to be top Lion here? One of you has to be the second in command, and, as the gentler of the species, I guess that’s him! Mr Leo has all your virtues and only his own vices (but maybe you could concede you have one or two). Like all duo-sign relationships, it either works fantastically or not at all: and that goes for sex too. Your biggest problem is over-spending. Your greatest strength is your belief that love conquers all.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Virgo:

Workable- ish. Mr Virgo is close to you by sign but far apart by nature. This man is pernickety and emotionally reticent, so he’ll drive you crazy. You’ll also never win a battle of words with him. He is caring in his own way though, and he is happy to let you run the relationship. After the first three months, sex becomes less frequent and more fraught. Your biggest problem is making the accounts balance. Your greatest strength lies in your knowledge that each of you is trying to be the best he/she can be.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Libra:

A good balance. Mr Libra makes you look good; he makes you feel good too. This man has style; he’s also very into relationships, so you won’t have to book a time talk to him about ‘issues’. You’ll have great sex, but not the abandoned passionate sort. You see, Mr Libra doesn’t like to get all hot and bothered and he’s very fussy about smells and stains. Your biggest problem is finding, paying for and keeping staff. Your greatest strength lies in always putting a good face on things.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Scorpio:

Volcanic. You have met your match where passion, commitment, sex and ambition go but you can both sabotage the relationship by taking it to the edge too often. What you won’t like about Mr Scorpio is his secrecy and his jealousy, and his ability to press all your buttons. (Yes you have those qualities too but you don’t go to such lengths to prove your point.) Sex? What can you say – just fabulous. Your biggest problem is possessiveness. Your greatest strength is hanging in there through the good times and the bad.

Rating: 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Sagittarius:

A fun ride. Mr Sagittarius is irresistible – that mix of warmth, humour and anything-comes-anything-goes gets right to your heart. He is a natural match for you and he is someone who can dissolve your fears, make you forget your hurts, and he never ever harbours resentments. He’s just a lovely guy. All right, he does have a problem with commitment and responsibility… Sex? It has its moments. Your biggest problem is patience. Your greatest strength is only having eyes for each other.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Capricorn:

A prickly pair. You two are from different planets – he’s from Saturn and you’re from Jupiter (actually the sun, but that’s not a planet!). You are an optimist; he is a pessimist; you are a cheerful-spender; he is Mr Thrift. What he does have in spades is power, and that is something you find very attractive indeed. You’re at your best in bed with each other, and if you can take that symbiosis out into the rest of the relationship you’ll have something. Your biggest problem is communication. Your greatest strength lies in your determination to succeed.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Aquarius:

Divine duo. Mr Aquarius is air to your fire – he takes you further than you thought you could ever go, and you’ll never tire of hearing his stories and discovering his opinions. (And he has many of those.) Yes, you’ll have arguments. Yes, you’ll be put out by his nights out with the boys (and there’ll be many of those) but the kissing and making up will be wonderful. Your biggest problem is acknowledging faults. Your greatest strength lies in talking, talking, talking.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Pisces:

A strange affair. Mr Pisces will play poet to your drama queen but he isn’t the type to throw his cloak over a puddle to prevent your getting your feet wet. He just doesn’t think that way. He’s neither practical nor there when you need him. He is a wonderful bed-mate and you can resolve many of your differences under the sheets. But in the day-to-day management of marriage, you’ll be the one mopping up after him. Your biggest problem is losing the plot. Your greatest strength lies in devotion as opposed to perfection.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Aries:

Trial by fire.Once Mr Aries stops talking about himself, you’ll find there’s a decent, kind guy in there. But you’re not hewn out of the same rock. Speed and image are everything to the Aries man while you’re a painstaking, behind-the-scenes type. Of course, this can be the very reason the relationship works but in the long run there’s not enough room for you and his ego. OK, the sex can be lovely… Your biggest problem is that he sees only the advantages and you, the disadvantages. Your greatest strength lies in meeting each other half-way.

Your relationship with Mr Taurus:

An unbreakable bond. You and Mr Taurus are creatures of the earth. You hate anything insubstantial; you want quality and durability. And you’ll find these qualities in each other. This man is a true partner: he is mellow, patient, resourceful and determined. He loves your fine mind and you’ll learn to love fine dining. You’ll love the sex too. Your biggest problem is his need for boundaries and your need for room to manoeuvre. Your greatest strength lies in working it all out in the end.

Rating 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Gemini:

A dust storm. This man gets you all shaken up. He appears and disappears without notice and every time you come up with a plan, he’ll have a variation. You two can talk though. You discuss everything from politics to your next-door-neighbour’s affair with the postman, and if any couple could can run the parent-teacher’s association and a hedge fund, it’s you two. Sex can take you to some very interesting places. Your biggest problem is naming the day. Your greatest strength lies in a near-psychic connection with each other.

Rating: 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Cancer:

A sweet delight. Mr Cancer soon wears down your resistance. He is as persistent with his attentions as he is with anything in life that he really wants. This man winds his way around your heart and provides the emotional nourishment you so badly need. He even understands your prickly side, because he has one too. The sex just gets better and better. Your biggest problem is letting sleeping dogs lie. Your greatest strength lies in knowing that neither of you is going to give up or give in.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Leo:

An uneasy alliance. Fiery Mr Leo definitely gets your attention. He is fun to be with, generous and affectionate. However, unless he receives your devoted attention and applause for everything he does, he’ll soon become grumpy and peevish. And you’re not one to pander to someone’s ego. Also, this battle of wills can spoil an otherwise great sex-life. Your biggest problem is giving each other the strokes you need. Your greatest strength lies in overcoming anyone who or anything that threatens you.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Virgo:

Ever decreasing circles. Same sign combos have their advantages in that you both know how each other ticks and you instinctively feel at home with one another. As for the disadvantages: what you don’t like in yourself, you’ll hate in him. You will argue a lot, and you will spend forever getting your life in perfect shape, such that you won’t find as much time as you should for making love. Your biggest problem is not saying how you really feel. Your greatest strength lies in overcoming every hurdle.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Libra:

Strife in a bottle. You two have one thing in common – a striving for perfection. You’ll notice that about Mr Libra straight away because he has such an air of accomplishment about him and such a way with people. He may sweep you off your feet. But don’t be in too much of a hurry to succumb. While you can run a business together, marriage may leave you a little cold. Same with sex. Your biggest problem is finding true intimacy. Your greatest strength lies in never getting into anything over your head.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Scorpio:

A fine thing. You may not like to admit you have a dark side, but you do. And Mr Scorpio will certainly find it – to your mutual pleasure! This man is sexy and he’ll also hold your fascination and your love for a lifetime. (Will you ever leave the bedroom?) You can both be devious and paranoid but you have a way of soothing his anxieties and reassuring him of your fidelity. And vice versa. Your biggest problem is developing trust. Your greatest strength is that once that trust is there it can never be broken.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Sagittarius:

A burning issue. Mr Sagittarius gives you room to breathe and in the process causes you to yearn for him and wonder what he’s up to without you. This man is a wanderer but he hasn’t got a mean bone in his body. He doesn’t understand the point of plans and time – he’s your living-in-the-moment guy – but once he’s with you, who cares! Sex is a case of feast and famine but dwindles in time. Your biggest problem is losing your sense of direction. Your greatest strength lies in looking to the future, not the past.

Rating: 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Capricorn:

A mutual admiration society. Both of you take your time before committing yourselves, but if the sparks fly immediately, why wait. You two can sustain a life-long partnership and you have so much in common that arguments and upsets will be as rare as a snowflake in the desert. Everything will be regular and consistent – including the sex – and you’ll never get out of your depth. Your biggest problem is putting pleasure too far down the list of priorities. Your greatest strength lies in knowing you’ll have a rich old age.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Aquarius:

Stranger than fiction. Mr Aquarius is an individualist. He has as many opinions as you but he’ll expect his to carry the day. Fortunately, he’s a good listener, although you’ll never convince him he’s not right. Sexually, you’ll have known better, and you’ll need plenty of action in other departments to sustain a long-term union. Your biggest problem is nourishing each other emotionally. Your greatest strength lies in being able to talk even when you’re at war.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Pisces:

A union of opposites. You have your feet on terra firmawhile Mr Pisces is in his own little waterworld yet you two share many qualities – usually the ones you don’t recognize in yourselves! This man brings out your romantic side and makes you feel incredibly special. He isn’t methodical, punctual or materially minded but he makes up for it in so many other ways – this is how sex should be – and you grow to be a devoted couple. Your biggest problem is insecurity. Your greatest strength lies in believing in each other.

Rating 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Aries:

Great momentum. You and Mr Aries are opposite numbers therefore the attraction between you is powerful – as, indeed, is the sex. Mr Aries’ fire warms your airy being and, when you can’t make a decision (and even when you can), he will. You’ll go places with this man, both in terms of social success and life goals, but his recklessness will drive you nuts. Your biggest problems are power struggles. Your greatest strength lies in picking yourselves up, dusting yourselves off and getting back in the saddle.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Taurus:

Trying. Neither of you gives up easily but this relationship is not really made in heaven. Mr Taurus is down to earth, resistant to change and very stubborn. You’ll have your work cut out getting him to travel or to take a break from routine. He can be generous but there are limits, and arguments about the way you spend money are frequent. Sex, however, can be fantastic. Your biggest problem is your vastly differing priorities where money and life-goals are concerned. Your greatest strength lies in not wanting to hurt each other.

Rating 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Gemini:

A walk in the park. Here is your natural mate, your best friend, perhaps even your guru. Mr Gemini dazzles you with his wit and he can be as much of a culture-vulture and music lover as you. He’ll steer clear of arguments and he’ll be as happy going places with you as he is to let you do your own thing. Of course, he does have a teensy problem with commitment so bank on a long courtship. Sex? Enjoyable but not the best ever. Your biggest problem is reaching each other’s core. Your greatest strength lies in making the best of things.

Rating 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Cancer:

Becalmed. You will be drawn to Mr Cancer by his quietude. You sense there’s much more going on than meets the eye, and you’d be right. This man can pull you into a relationship by the tide of his powerful feelings, and he can awaken you sexually. The trouble is that water (him) and air (you) don’t mix. You’ll inevitably feel suffocated by him and he’ll think of you as a lightweight. Your biggest problem is seeing the world through the same lens. Your greatest strength lies in kindness and consideration; each for the other.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Leo:

New York in June. How fun is this? Mr Leo has style – almost as much as you – and he knows how to live well and spend money. You two thrive on being together and other people love having you around too. Mr Leo’s arrogance and inflexibility are legendary but you have a way of wearing down his resistance. You’ll enjoy lots of sex, in which lingerie and ambience will play a big part. Your biggest problem is becoming overdrawn. Your greatest strength lies in being able to live beyond your means.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Virgo:

Stumbling blocks and stepping stones. Mr Virgo pretends he’s not a romantic but that’s the reason he’s with you; you are his anima, the woman he sees in his dreams. For your part, you love his intellect and the fact that he can gossip and bitch with the best of them. There will be sex. Just how great is debatable. Mr Virgo has a bit of the monk in him, so his self-containment and his remoteness can be very disconcerting. He’s also a bit of a nag. Your biggest problem is allowing time for fun. Your greatest strength lies in trying hard.

Rating 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Libra:

Poetry in motion. How the relationship looks to other people is going to be just as important as how it feels to the two of you. Mr Libra is as keen to be as loved and liked as you are, and therefore equally as giving and ready to talk about issues as you. But do you really want to share a bed with your twin? Like all same-sign relationships if the chemistry is there, it’s wonderful but if not, you’ll end up as brother and sister. Your biggest problem is making decisions. Your greatest strength lies in sharing everything.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Scorpio:

Deep waters. Mr Scorpio has something of the night about him. You’re drawn to that darkness but you can’t stay there indefinitely. There’s a degree of compulsion about your sex-life, such that you may have trouble leaving the relationship even if and when it’s destroying you both. The Scorpio man can be fun, and he will go to the ends of the earth for you, but the cost to your sanity is high. Your biggest problem is knowing when to say enough is enough. Your greatest strength lies in pushing yourselves to the maximum.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Sagittarius:

Happily ever after. Mr Sagittarius is engaging, affectionate, good-natured and adaptable. He brings adventure and warmth into your life while you give him lessons in diplomacy and get him to take a little more interest in his appearance. You’ll never have to worry about looking your best in bed – he loves you just the way you are. (Don’t fence him in though.) Your biggest problems are arguments and about cleanliness and order – you like; he doesn’t. Your greatest strength is never allowing the sun to set on an argument.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Capricorn:

A working party. The trouble with Mr Capricorn is that he is too pedantic and narrow-visioned for you. To Mr Capricorn there are laws in nature and laws to live your life by, and you are a free spirit. He loves the way you look – he sees you as a wife and mother – yet he’ll have no trouble making love to you night, after night, after night. He knows you’ll help him get to the top and you know you have the power. Your biggest problem is relating to each other’s vulnerable side. Your greatest strength is making a marriage work.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Aquarius:

A cool couple. Mr Aquarius may begin as a friend but with your disarming skills he’ll drop the fear and soon become a lover and partner. This man is not a natural at relationships and you’ll need to give him a long rope while never allowing him to feel jealous or abandoned. (Sex takes practice, and practice makes perfect.) He is a bit of a know-all and you’ll do a lot of apologising for his outspoken statements. Your biggest problem is closeness. Your greatest strength lies in never doing anything out of anger.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Pisces:

Foggy. It could take you a lifetime to get to grips with Mr Pisces. This man is a mystery even to himself. He is a mix of Heathcliffe and Mr Bean. This relationship starts with great promise but can fizzle out in the strangest of circumstances. Sexually, it may seem as if something is missing. You’ll never understand why he does certain things and he’ll never understand why you need to explain and analyse everything. Your biggest problem is being on the same planet. Your greatest strength lies in leaving well alone.

Rating: 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Aries:

Boil and bubble; toil and trouble. Mr Aries is a straight-forward bloke. He intends to get what he wants by whatever means. Mind-games go right over his head so from the get-go you have a big advantage over him. However, he’s just not deep enough for you, and although there may be lots of sex, you won’t be lifted out of your body by the exchange. Choose Mr Aries for a fling: saying ‘I do’ is a life-sentence… Your biggest problems are fights (keep the best china in the safe). Your greatest strength is bouncing back from them.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Taurus:

Truly, madly, deeply. Mr Taurus is your opposite number so you have an instinctive bond with him. He has the power and the patience to handle your complex emotional make-up, and he’s a lover who matches your sensuality and satisfies your needs. Like you though, he is resistant to change and strong-willed. He’s also very controlling. You’ll admire his strength and you’ll feel very safe with him. Your biggest problem is refusing to budge. Your greatest strength lies in building a relationship as strong as a fortress.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Gemini:

Intensely complex. Mr Gemini is a chameleon: you never know who you’re going to meet from one date to the next. Naturally, this man holds a certain fascination for you. However, his airy nature first stirs your deep emotional waters into a whirlpool and then turns them to ice. And the same for sex. It will take many other complementary astrological factors to keep you afloat in the long term. Your biggest problem is finding stability. Your greatest strength lies in discovering you are each other’s best teacher.

Rating: 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Cancer:

A sea-food cocktail. You and Mr Cancer are an ideal couple. He is kind, deep, caring and empathetic. He’s also ambitious and strong. You’ll feel as though you’re on the same wave-length, which means you don’t have to spell out what’s on your mind. For this reason your sex-life is dreamy. Mr Cancer will always put you and the family first, and you need never doubt his fidelity. Your biggest problem is that you fan each other’s insecurities. Your greatest strength is knowing your love will never wane.

Rating 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Leo:

Jalopena Salsa. Ooohla la! What a power-house you two make. You put others in the shade, although what goes on behind closed doors could make your hair stand on end. In the bedroom, everything is as hot as Hades; out of it, you run into one road-block after another formed by your differing tastes, values and priorities. Neither of you gives in and both of you expect to be obeyed. Mmm… Your biggest problem are those destructive Mexican stand-offs. Your greatest strength lies in the hold you have over each other.

Rating: 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Virgo:

Built to last. Discriminating, low-key, smart Mr Virgo is a perfect foil for the super-powered, intense MS Scorpio. This man will disarm you with his quiet arguments and just when you think he’s completely unimpressed he’ll turn up with a dozen red roses and make wonderful love to you all night. Mr Virgo adapts to you while never allowing you to upset his agenda. And you nourish him on all levels. Your biggest problem is allowing silences to keep you apart. Your greatest strength lies in keeping the best till last.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Libra:

Requires effort. You and Mr Libra do not speak the same language. This man aims to rise above his emotions while you are driven by them. He is not the kind who abandons himself to lust and you may find his love-making a little too contrived. Then again, he does manage to thaw you out when you’re angry and you can show him that appearances aren’t everything. Your biggest problem is finding that deep connection. Your greatest strength is discovering that just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Scorpio:

Till death do you part. Have you seen two scorpions defending their territory? They lock pincers and see who can sting who to death first. And there’s a parallel there. When you’re in love, there’s no couple more united but when you’re at war someone is going to get hurt. You’re in tune sexually, and you both need and give each other intense demonstrations of feeling. Your biggest problem is bringing out the worst in each other. Your greatest strength is knowing you are stronger together than apart.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Sagittarius:

Fire and ice. Mr Sagittarius is a genial fellow so you won’t have any trouble getting to know him. He’s interested in anything that promises to be an adventure so he’ll hurl himself joyfully into a relationship with you. Sex will be athletic – this is a sprinter not a marathon runner though. Long term? The differences outweigh the similarities and you would both be better with other people. Your biggest problem is his lack of commitment and your need for it. Your greatest strength lies in learning to laugh at your idiosyncrasies.

Rating: 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Capricorn:

Bankable. Mr Capricorn is the strong and silent type. He is reliable, responsible, ambitious and conservative. He gains your respect by standing up to you and by stepping up to the plate when the situation demands. He’s very sexual and very regular – you’ll have no complaints. This man will never jeopardize your trust and even if you have to part he’ll make sure you’re looked after. Your biggest problem is being too cautious for your own good. Your greatest strength lies in creating an empire with each other.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Aquarius:

Distant cousins. This is one of those relationships that requires space, and if you can manage that you’ll find there’s plenty to love and like about this man. He is turned off by heavy emotional scenes though. Sexually you can teach each other much: he’ll show you the power of the mind and you’ll reveal the pleasure of touch and the importance of feeling. Both of you are possessive and controlling. Your biggest problem is possessiveness and control. Your greatest strength is once you made your vows, you’ll stick to them.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Pisces:

A sanctuary. Darling Mr Pisces. One look at that puppy-dog expression and you have to take him home. After that it’s a slam dunk*. You’ll be together in some shape or form for the rest of your lives. This man is needy and he thrives on physical and emotional exchange – he’s not a technician in bed, he’s just an instinctive lover. The downside to Mr Pisces is his unreliability and a certain weakness in character. Your biggest problem is getting out of your cocoon. Your greatest strength lies in love – pure, simple love.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Aries:

A power walk. Mr Aries dazzles you with his energy, drive and charisma. You suddenly see how warm and wonderful life could be with this man by your side. First mistake. In the long term you two have entirely different modus operandi. He’s all about instant gratification and you’re about t-i-m-e. (Imagine what that does to your sex life.) This man is courageous though and he will take you out of yourself. Your biggest problems are arguments over money. Your greatest strength is using your mistakes as stepping stones.

Rating: 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Taurus:

A thriving concern. Mr Taurus is a friend indeed. He has the same measured approach to life as you, he likes to have money in the bank and sound investments in the future. He also never promises anything he cannot deliver. But where are the sparks? These you need to take you from friendship to passionate partners and sometimes those sparks are missing. Your biggest problem is finding the magic; your greatest strength is sustaining a relationship without it.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Gemini:

Rolling stones. Mr Gemini is hard to pin down. He is charming and attentive one moment then he disappears for three days. Thus, he can drive you into a frenzy of anxiety and longing. He appears to be a bit of a lightweight but in reality he’s acutely intelligent, and, like a poker player, loves to bluff. Sex hold promise, but finding deep satisfaction is a challenge. (This relationship works better in business.) Your biggest problem is finding long-term security. Your greatest asset is combining your different strengths to create brilliant results.

Rating: 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Cancer:

Twin souls. Mr Cancer is your opposite number so there is as much to unite you as there is to repel you. But mostly, you two are highly compatible. Mr Cancer is as devoted as you to tradition and the family but he is more nurturing and fussy. He may end up being a house-husband while you bring home the bacon! Sex will be a natural and enjoyable part of your relationship. Your biggest problem is making changes. Your greatest strength is having an abundance left over for a rainy day.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Leo:

All things in moderation. Yes, this relationship has balance. You’ll never stray over your limits. But is it fun? Mr Virgo is not the zodiac’s clown; he’s the zodiac’s analyst, accountant and judge and jury. He has a deep fear of getting out of control yet an equally deep yearning to transcend the mundane. And he sometimes uses sex as a route to escape. You will have much in common, even if it takes a long time to discover who he really is. Your biggest problem is fear. Your greatest strength is never getting in debt.

Your relationship with Mr Libra:

Admirable. Mr Libra appeals to you because he has good taste and fine qualities. He listens to you and gives the impression that he is someone you can lean on. Well, he is an achiever, and you’ll never go short of luxuries, but this man is not a nurturer. In fact, despite his reputation as a relationship expert he’s a tad selfish. You’ll have no complaints in the sexual arena, but you will have to look your best. Your biggest problem is finding financial balance. Your greatest strength lies in having a better life together than you would have done apart.

Rating: 7/10

Your relationship with Mr Scorpio:

A blessing. Mr Scorpio’s reputation goes before him. He’s sexy, intense and basically irresistible. You’re also just the woman to handle him. He needs your integrity and your consistency to anchor him – he sees the best of himself reflected in your eyes. You and he are a sexual match made in heaven. This man is capable of great things, and when he’s found a goal he’ll reach it. (If he wants you, he’ll never give up.) Your biggest problem is not getting out enough. Your greatest strength is finding resources you didn’t know you had.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Sagittarius:

Chalk and cheese. Mr Sagittarius is restless, independent and commitment-phobic. Catching him is like trying to hit a moving target and if you do succeed, never expect him to keep to a timetable or a routine. This man does not do well in chains, unless it’s part of your bedroom repertoire. You’ll have to get used to living on the edge, and the passports better be up to date. Your biggest problem is your liking for boundaries and his hatred of them. Your greatest strength is knowing that distance lends enchantment.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Capricorn:

Happily tethered. Two goats rub along pretty well together, although when you lock horns, the hostilities can go on for days, if not weeks. You see your rich qualities in each other yet also discover your weak spots, so this is a relationship of self-discovery. You know what you want in bed and you know exactly how to please each other, but it’s not going to blow the roof off. Your biggest problem is stubbornness and implacability. Your greatest strength is building a life-plan and getting there with time and money to spare.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Aquarius:

Strange but true. Mr Aquarius may be a rugged individualist, a man of ideas and theories, but you do share a liking for structure and form. (Mr Aquarius will build his castles in the air and you’ll put bricks and mortar on them.) Love and attraction, if they are there, will make this a long-lasting and fulfilling relationship. Otherwise, although you might stay together, you’ll lead separate lives. Your biggest problem is getting a heart-to-heart connection. Your greatest strength is not sweating the small stuff.

Rating: 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Pisces:

Comfort food. Mr Pisces is an ideal partner. He brings romance and sensuality to the relationship and helps you see that material success is not as important as spiritual sustenance. This man can make your knees turn to jelly, and your bedroom will be a haven of pleasure and a respite from the hurly-burly of the world. You will find yourself through Mr Pisces, and he’ll be able to anchor his dreams. Your biggest problem is dealing with each other’s reality. Your greatest strength is knowing love is worth all the agony.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Aries:

A flash in the pan. Mr Aries is a conqueror and if he has you in his sights he’ll expect you to collapse in a lather of anticipation. And if you don’t… he’ll be off in hot pursuit of the next big thing. He doesn’t understand games and nuances; what he sees is what he expects to get. (He needs sound effects and applause in the bedroom.) Then again, he is a hero and will go through hell, fire and water for his wife and family. Your biggest problem is solvency. Your greatest strength lies in following your gut feelings.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Taurus:

A home run. Mr Taurus has what it takes to make you feel loved, secure, protected and valued. He will help you live your dreams and forget your nightmares. This man is the rock upon which you can build your life. He’s also a faithful and considerate lover. What you won’t be able to do is budge him when he’s made up his mind, nor will you be able to make him spend his savings. Your biggest problem is his resistance to change and your need for it. Your greatest strength is practising what you preach.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Gemini:

Sky-diving. Mr Gemini is not comfortable in the watery world of feelings while you are not at home in the airy realm of ideas and concepts. Mr Gemini does have feelings; he just doesn’t integrate them that well. He will tend to consider you irrational, unreasonable and over-emotional, which will prove detrimental to the relationship in the long run – no matter how good the sex. Your biggest problem is feeling understood and valued by each other. Your greatest strength is pooling your different resources and coming out on top.

Rating: 5/10

Your relationship with Mr Cancer:

A dream team. Mr Cancer belongs to your sea-food chain! You come from the same place; you are both emotionally-driven, sensitive, caring and easily hurt. Side by side, you can forge a long-lasting and mutually supportive relationship. (You’ll be sexually active into your nineties.) Home and family are essential to his well-being and he’ll prove a wonderful protector and provider. Your biggest problem is exacerbating each other’s fears. Your greatest strength lies in never being short of what you really need.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Leo:

Too hot to handle. You two may find each other irresistible in the beginning (those sexy days and nights will be unforgettable) but your differences may prove too great in the long term. Mr Leo is a strong, determined, occasionally overpowering, figure. He will override your wishes and you’ll be doing everything his way. Thus, you’ll end up feeling denied and he’ll be surprised and shocked when you simply disappear out of his life. Your biggest problem is meeting each other half-way. Your greatest strength lies in operating from the heart.

Rating: 3/10

Your relationship with Mr Virgo:

A beautiful thing. Your opposite number balances and supports you. Mr Virgo is a thinker and a planner but he needs your vision and wisdom to get those blue-prints off the drawing board. He listens to your dreams and analyses them. You make him forget his inhibitions and open his heart. (It may take a long time to find yourself sexually with each other, but it will be worth the effort.) Your biggest problem is making decisions. Your greatest strength is valuing and sharing each other’s opinions, needs and hopes.

Rating: 8/10

Your relationship with Mr Libra:

A balancing act. Mr Libra finds reaching a decision almost as difficult as you, but for different reasons: you want to keep your options open and he doesn’t want to offend anyone. You see, he’s a lot more concerned with appearances than you. You’ll love being in bed with him, although don’t expect deep, deep intimacy. He’ll discuss the relationship but you may still not know how he truly feels. You biggest problem is establishing what you want. Your greatest strength is never losing your tempers with each other.

Rating: 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Scorpio:

Tristan und Isolde. They write novels about couples like you. Your love is as deep as deep can be and your passion for each other, off the scale. You believe you would die for each other. Mr Scorpio is a complex character but you understand him at core level: you are able to chip him out of his moods and silences, defuse his jealous rages and he will never let you fall off the edge of the world! Your biggest problem is realizing that there is a world outside your relationship. Your greatest strength is true love.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Sagittarius:

Hot and bothered. Mr Sagittarius is elusive: he loves the idea of making a commitment but actually doing so frightens the life out of him. He has charisma and a sort of diffidence that is utterly engaging. You fall for him in a nanosecond and your sexual chemistry lights up a room. However, long-term – if you manage to tie the knot in the first place – you’ll find each other very hard work. Your biggest problem is establishing which version of the truth is correct. Your greatest strength is believing in something bigger than both of you.

Rating: 6/10

Your relationship with Mr Capricorn:

Rock solid. Mr Capricorn is solid, hard-working, conservative and solvent. He is in his element creating a life-plan and bringing it to fruition. He’s kind of old-fashioned too – he’ll look after the practical and financial aspects of the relationship while you can do all the nurturing and caring. Of course he doesn’t mind if you add to the bank balance… (He’s awfully good in bed too.) Your biggest problem is lightening up. Your greatest strength is knowing you’re doing everything in each other’s best interests.

Rating: 9/10

Your relationship with Mr Aquarius:

Chilly. Mr Aquarius doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve; in fact if he is really attracted to you he’s likely to display utter disinterest. This man takes a lot of understanding. He is consistent in his inconsistency. He has his own brand of charm, however, and he’ll dazzle you with his theories and his tall tales. He takes his time opening up sexually, and you’ll need a lot of shared chemistry to set the boudoir a-rocking. Your biggest problem is trying to reason with each other. Your greatest strength lies in feeling each other is a mystery you want to solve.

Rating: 4/10

Your relationship with Mr Pisces:

The agony and the ecstasy. Two fishes in the same love-boat? What a conundrum. Since you are both capable of putting up smoke screens and disappearing in plain sight, it may take a long time to get together. But when you do, it can prove wonderfully enriching. There will be times when you infuriate each other but before you can say soupe aux poissons you’ll be in each other’s arms and on the road to nirvana. Your biggest problem is getting lost in the moment. Your greatest strength is being each other’s bliss.
