If you are a Libra in a relationship which is quite likely since, after all, you are a Libra, this year there might be a little less fire in your partner as we begin 2008. Mars, the planet of action and sex is also the ruler of your 7th house of relationship and since this planet is moving in retrograde motion until the end of January, you might not be getting much sex to ring in the New Year with. Don't fret however, because it's a trend that will end by early February. The Eclipse of 2/6 is sure to help spice up the sex department. You will enjoy a key time of harmony in April when Venus is touring your house of partnership.
