Ah, spring is in the air. And so is romance. It is Rabbit month after all. And they are the ultimate lovers. Want some tips on how to make this month your sexiest one yet? Then get ready. We’ve got some super steamy advice just for you!

Here’s my first suggestion: Indulge the senses. See, this randy Rabbit is a bit of a hedonist. Pleasure is a priority. So buy some silky sheets. Light a scented candle. Splurge on some decadent chocolates. But wait just a minute. No need to gobble those sweets down. Savor each and every bite instead. Feed them to your beloved. Taking your time could make things heat up quickly!

Just keep in mind. Even though Rabbit’s a sensualist, they sometimes get lost in their thoughts.

However blunt and straightforward Ox is about some things, they sure are hush-hush about their feelings. But here’s the thing. Intimacy (INTO ME SEE) is all about sharing your inner experience. So this month you might need to push yourself to get your emotions out in the open. That is, if you want to feel close to your sweetie. Or you want to bond with your crush. Which I’m betting you do!

Another thing to keep in mind. When Ox is healthy, they’re as loyal as they come. But when they’re not, they can get a wee bit possessive. No problem if you have those feelings this month. But you may not want to act on them. Instead, why not check in with yourself? Sometimes we get clingy when we’re feeling insecure.

The Chinese New Year’s upon us. And it’s bringing the most romantic sign of all our way. Yep. Sheep is here. And they’re about as lovey-dovey as it gets. So if you’re single and searching, read on. Online Chinese Astrology has come up with five tips to help you make the most of Sheep year!

1)   Go after what you want: Sheep can be a little passive. A little shy. So getting the romantic ball rolling could take some effort this year. But once it gets rolling, it probably won’t stop! So go on already. No need to sit around wondering what could be. Ask ‘em out! After all, people usually just regret the things they didn’t do.

Sheep year is the ideal time for love and romance! Sheep are kind, loving, and sensitive souls; Sheep year energy brings that loving and generous energy to everyone. Adding to the good fortune is that 2015 is a Wood Sheep year. Wood is the Chinese element of growth and transformation, making this year the ideal time to expand your horizons and find opportunities for new love and awareness in your relationships with others.

RAT - Life is comfortable and you can find peace in relationships. You can recover from any 2014 Horse year love problems. So use this Sheep year to really get to know your loved one. But launch your serious wedding or engagement plans in Monkey year 2016, your lucky year.

It may be the dead of winter, but things are heating up in the bedroom. That's because it's Tiger month, and lovers get a boost from this animal's fierce passion and lust. Here are 5 tips to keep your engine revved over the new few weeks:

1. Try something new. Ditch the same old song and dance. No one likes boring routine in the bedroom, especially Tiger. Come up with a new move that will blow your partner away. Look to kama sutra books for some inspiration.

2. Take the lead. Whether you're male or female, your partner will appreciate someone stepping up into the role of the pursuer.

Good news! It’s a favorable year for seven of the 12 signs. Love is definitely in the year. I know; I know. You want to see what kind of luck you’re going to have. OK, let’s get right to it.

Rat
You’re looking at a very good year, one filled with possibilities. Your Rat charm fits right In with the Snake’s. But there’s more. Your warm heart? Your sex appeal? Your fancy wardrobe? Nope. What’s going to get you the most satisfaction is your mind. So use your quick wit to connect with that new love interest or the one you have.

Ox
You just might score big this year.

Got a Monkey in your life? If you know anything about this brainy, goofy, and mental-oriented sign, you probably already know that they can be difficult to understand sometimes. Just when you think you have a Monkey figured out—bam—he goes and does something that leaves you scratching your head. Here are some tips for pleasing the Monkey man in your life. And no—it doesn’t involve buying him bananas.

1. Don’t get so emotional, sweetie. Do you turn on the waterworks every time you have an argument? Monkeys think first and feel later. Do yourself a favor and approach tense situations with a logical point of view.

Ok. The summer’s almost over, and you and your man haven’t done a whole lot in the way of adventures. Ahem – sitting on the couch does not count. That’s OK. There’s still time to have some steamy fun before the sun gives way to fall’s chill. Here are 5 summer date ideas you might want to put on the calendar before you go back-to-school shopping:

1. Go to a baseball game. Nothing says summer like some beers and baseball. Don’t have a pro sports team in your town? Head to a minor league stadium, or even a college game. It’s a chance to wear those cute cut-offs, eat a hot dog, soak up some rays, and enjoy a summer pastime with your honey.

Of all the signs in the Chinese Zodiac, the Sheep is the most romantic and sensitive. Aww, how sweet, you’re thinking. Yes, being in a relationship with a Sheep guy can be dreamy and wonderful, but you have to know how to handle this sign in order to stay happy and healthy in your union. Here are some tips to keep in mind if you’re dating a Sheep man:

• Think before you speak. This guy is more sensitive than most men, so be careful how you word things and choose your tone of voice carefully. He’ll respond to subtle changes in your body language and will pay close attention to the words you use.
   
• Nurture his weird side. ‘Cause he will have one.

Summer is officially here – and so is the hot weather and jam-packed schedule. But that doesn’t mean romance should take a back seat. Here are some summer date ideas by the sign. Time to get creative, people! Put the spark back in the bedroom…

Rat. Need to cool off? Instead of paying for a ticket to a water park, hit the regular park where they have fountains and water play areas for the kids. Bring your bathing suits and a picnic. Get wet and friendly. Enough said!

Ox. Set up a lemonade stand. No, really! Use the money you make to go buy yourselves some beers.

So you’re a stealth-like stallion with an attitude. You go with the flow and gallop where the wind takes you. But you still know who you are and where you’re going – you just want a man that can keep up! You Horse girls are a rare breed, and you certainly need the right partner so you don’t get bored. Let’s take a look at the best Chinese Astrology sign matches for you hooved hotties:

Tiger. A Tiger man’s independent spirit is exactly what you need. He can certainly keep pace with you, while also being a good leader when you need a rest. This guy will keep you on your toes and will always be up for an adventure.

 

Hi Susan,

Hope this finds you well. A quick update about my place in Piedmont, CA. I have officially got my promotion on March 2012—you were right about removing my cat litter box to the guest bedroom’s bathroom.

If you know your reality TV, you know Emily Maynard. This season’s star of “The Bachelorette” is one tough cookie. Just listen to her story about how she overcame tragedy (losing her husband, raising her daughter as a single mom, breaking up with Brad), and you start to wonder how she handled it all.

Answer? She’s an Ox. Born in 1986, Emily is a Wood Ox, which gives her an iron will and a fortitude that is unmatched by other signs. Oxen are powerfully resilient, letting life’s challenges bounce off their thick skin and continuing to plod forward, no matter the weather.

When it comes to love, Oxen (and Emily) are no different.

Admit it: you’ve wondered whether your man might be the cheating type. Maybe you’re in a new relationship, maybe you’re just suspicious about his recent behavior, or maybe you just want to be prepared for when you do meet Mr. Right.

While we’re not here to make sweeping generalizations about men, it is worth noting some psychological tendencies that typically accompany each Chinese Animal sign. 

So you’ve met the man of your dreams. But is he the marrying type? Depending on your guy’s Chinese Animal Sign, he may or not be inclined to tie the knot. Let’s take a look, shall we?

Rat.
The Rat guy is more than happy to marry – after he’s had his fun, first. This guy is looking for a gal pal that is on his same wavelength. She’s gotta have both brains and beauty. When he finds the right girl, he won’t hesitate to commit.

Ox.
An Ox guy is definitely the marrying type.

There’s no getting around it – Dragon blows every other sign out of the water when it comes to grand love gestures. He may not be able to match the Sheep or Rabbit in the romance department, and he certainly can’t compare with the Ox or Pig in terms of being a stable partner, but Dragon does it bigger and better – no doubt about that. Here are some tips for spicing up your love life over the next few weeks: 

Put it all out there.
If there was ever a time to profess your love for that platonic friend, it’s now.

Are they on? Are they off? No one can really tell what’s going on with these two celebs, but they seem to have an attraction that they just can’t shake. Who are we talking about? Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, of course. Let’s take a look at their Chinese Animals signs to learn more about this hot and cold duo.

Justin, born on January 31, 1981, is a Monkey. Jessica, on the other hand, was born a year later, on March 3, 1982. This makes her a Dog. Ahh…. And maybe herein lies the problem!

As a playful Monkey, Justin’s all about having a good time.

Right around Valentine’s Day, we all start thinking about love. Love is gentle. Love is kind. (Or sometimes love is downright mean when it pulls the rug out from under you!) Anyway, you get the idea. We’re all focused on it – whether it’s expressing our sentiments to a spouse or sharing a special day with our kids.

But did you know that his Chinese Element has a lot to do with how he loves you? Yep. Whether he’s Water, Wood, Earth, Metal, or Fire, he’s got his own signature style. Here are the deets on each one:

Water Man: If your man was born in a Water year -- well – lucky you.

Tiger month can be one heck of a ride. Claws are out, fangs are sharpened, and people are ready to pounce! The energy of this animal is strong, fierce, and assertive. And if you have a Tiger in your life (or are one yourself) you know exactly what we’re talking about. Here are five tips for getting along with a Tiger, whether it’s your spouse, your boss, or your best friend:

• Be loyal. If you want to make good with a Tiger, you’re going to have to be a loyal partner. Tigers need to know that you’re there for them in their darkest hour (or even when they need you for something small).

When it’s frigid cold outside, no wonder your sex life gets icy. Forget heating up the bedroom with passion – you’re just trying to stay warm! While I know you’re busy just trying not to freeze your buns off, it’s still important to keep the sparks alive in your relationship. Despite the cold winter weather, there are some things you can do to stoke the flames.

• Bring back date night. Are you sitting on the couch watching reality TV night after night? Get off your bums and go on a date! Take your Tiger man to a wild nightclub or your Pig man to a nice, quiet French restaurant. Chivalry isn’t dead – you just need to bring it back.

• Get cozy.
