Your love life is starting to sizzle, which is a little alarming. Normally, you're fairly cool and detached. Right now, though, a certain someone is clouding your thoughts and invading your dreams.

Working on an intimate relationship is essential if you want it to flourish. For the most part, things are fine between you, but there are one or two things you'd like to change.

A softly, softly approach works best.
