Here are a few predictions for couples in year 2016

As you prepare for the New Year, Horoscope.com brings you a few predictions on the love lives couples based on the 12 zodiac signs for year 2016

Aries: Love can be sweet and simple in 2016, Aries, but with plenty of excitement! Socially, you'll present a picture of harmony and have a great deal of fun with your friends, and strangers, too, at public and family gatherings, whether the events are big and glamorous or small and intimate. At home, emotions will be much nearer the surface. January through early March may be the most passionate time period, when Mars is moving through the steamy sign of Scorpio. Occasionally you both may need to step back from being oversensitive and letting psychodrama distract you from settling what are really petty little issues and differences. These kinds of emotions may run highest during August and September. Generosity and fun are the rule for late September and October. Any past differences will be forgotten as you both remember and value why you're together. Give each other a bit more time and space in November and December. Emotional demands between you may ease now, although social obligations may increase.

Taurus: Novelty and excitement will find its way into your love life in 2016, Taurus. Think of it as romantic fresh air between you and your partner. Nothing major has to come or go, but the details and settings of daily life may seem brighter and happier. You both may have been wanting a bit more fun on a daily basis. Starting in the early spring, Venus and Uranus will inspire this to happen. Look forward to more little pleasant surprises and token gifts or gestures. Anticipate more senseless acts of beauty. And remember to give back, too. Even without a big vacation, you may want more quality romantic time in August and September. Go somewhere special to you both (or stay home and do something equally special). Partnership issues may get more serious in November and December. The two of you may take on some important cause or joint project and find that you've bonded all the more closely. It's a powerful and intimate year.

Nothing major has to come or go, but the details and settings of daily life may seem brighter and happier. You both may have been wanting a bit more fun on a daily basis. Starting in the early spring, Venus and Uranus will inspire this to happen. Look forward to more little pleasant surprises and token gifts or gestures. Anticipate more senseless acts of beauty.

Cancer: 2016 is packed with passion and excitement, Cancer, so embrace the thrill of it all! Family members may keep you busy but you have more than enough energy and focus to keep everyone happy, including yourself. Start the year with a clear understanding between you, then stick to it. If the spring gets tumultuous at work for one of you, it won't perturb home life. It may even bring you closer together. A Lunar Eclipse in March in Libra is a bonding opportunity to please you both. If a big expense or acquisition arises in late summer, you'll both know if it's wise and necessary. You'll both be wiling to make sacrifices for each other, materially and emotionally. Include plenty of token kindnesses. Cuddle time will be as sweet as passionate time together, especially in the autumn. If there are shared dreams (or fantasies) of expanding the family, Venus could smile on this possibility in the early winter. Take good care of each other then, too.

Leo: Can a year be peaceful and exciting at the same time? 2016 can for you, Leo! You and your mate are big-hearted and want to please each other. Plus, monetary pinches and crazy big desires are at a minimum. Tender feelings will be near the surface all year, so treat each other with extra consideration during the March Solar Eclipse and September Lunar Eclipse. The four Mercury retrogrades are in Earth signs, so any miscommunications will probably be about practical matters. Write things down, pay bills on time, and help find each other's misplaced keys and phones. If there has been a yearning to own a place of your own, this could be the year, especially after August. Look into it! Passions rise later in the year. One (or both) of you may need more intimacy and extra physical attention in November and December. Be understanding and be there for one another. How great, to end the year with your relationship even stronger than when the year began!

Virgo: Both of you will do your share in 2016, Virgo, and have a rock solid relationship. Together, any problem or challenge will seem simpler and be remedied sooner. There's plenty of tenderness to go around but you'll both be ready to step up and do those occasional difficult things. If children get unruly, pets get rambunctious, or either of you hit a rough spot in the workplace, you'll work together and get life back on track again. You're both willing to see each other in a rosy light, especially in the early spring. This Neptunian romantic optimism is a good and sweet thing. Autumn may be the most eventful, with a Solar Eclipse in Virgo and a Mercury retrograde, too. You're both well-grounded and will see any misunderstandings as the comic interludes that they are. Your home life is pleasant as well as practical in November and December, when Saturn exerts a calming influence. You'll both be comfortable being the "grown up in the room."

Libra: Life may have changes in mind for the two of you in 2016, Libra. A breath of fresh air can be a good thing for both of you. Be adaptable, support one another, and enter into a better space. If you're anticipating a big change, or even a relocation, it could happen early in the year. Be realistic about your options and discuss everything. The January Mercury retrograde in Aquarius will promote objective decisions. If nerves get stretched thin in March, focus on taking care of each other, each other's health, and those things that make you happy and feeling secure together. Neptune's unsettling influence won't last long. Enjoy surprising one another in April, and don't take offense during minor squabbles. The Mercury retrograde in May could prolong this bumpy time, but you can navigate through it. In September and October, you can brainstorm, make any big household decisions, and just celebrate being together. Passion deepens as winter approaches, with bright sparks of holiday romance.

Scorpio: You'll both agree on all the big issues in 2016, Scorpio, especially those of material or practical concern. There will be plenty of discussion and it may get tiring at times but you'll be glad that everything is so clear. The four Mercury retrogrades (in January, May, September, and December) present many possibilities for misunderstandings and confusion. Just be patient with one another. Avoid getting hopelessly stubborn, especially in January and February, and concentrate on just getting the facts straight. If early in the year your partner has trouble being understood by others, don't instantly rush to the rescue. Be there with solid moral support instead. It may prove to be nothing, as can happen whenever Neptune is involved. If an inconvenient illness or temporary job issue arises in April or May, remember that you have resources, love, and one another. This too shall pass. Summer is gloriously romantic, and the late fall is bright with clever fun that only the two of you can share.

Sagittarius: Charming days are ahead, Sagittarius! As 2016 begins, Venus is in Sagittarius to brighten and sweeten the whole year for you. Your partner may be more attracted to you, and more proud of you, too. If this isn't normal in your relationship, it will become so. Agreement should be easy over money matters, especially in the first two months. If a big purchase or pricey summer vacation looms, you'll have chosen a joint path months before then. The spring Mars retrograde period discourages any rash decisions. September is an affectionate and dreamy time. A Solar Eclipse and a following Lunar Eclipse, both in Mutable signs (as is Sagittarius) keeps attention on treating people well. Feel generous but keep most of those tender feelings and actions at home for yourselves. November and December are pivotal times, too. Smart, patient communication, thanks to Mercury and Saturn, bring you closer together as the holiday season over-stimulates the world around you. End the year knowing that you were made for one another!

Capricorn: You will be the intense one this year, Capricorn, although you may struggle to conceal it. If you work too hard to keep the peace, the stress will show anyway, so keep those channels of communication wide open. Small home projects or planning trips can give you a lot of quality time together. Working together can be tough for some couples, but not for you. If you surprise one another in some way, particularly in April or May, don't get bent out of shape. Who knows, but some of those Uranus in Aries surprises could prove useful later on. Small talk is not always idle. Chat more about the little things. You could make some major discoveries about yourself and your partner along the way, especially in August and September. Jupiter and the Lunar North Node are together in Virgo, and a karmic door could open for you. Love and affection deepen as the months pass. Anticipate a warm and tender November and December. Venus and Saturn are both in Sagittarius, wanting to be seriously sweet.

Aquarius: New passions ignite for the two of you in 2016, Aquarius! Love gets more playful, perhaps with an added touch of glamour. If your inner children are already near the surface, prepare to romp! Some squabbles may arise in May and June. You both are searching for creative, constructive solutions to some issues, and these disagreements can result in fresh approaches that please you both. The Moon in Gemini as July begins will bring fast resolutions. Mutual generosity is part of this. While being more compassionate and giving, remember that this is not a contest to see who can be the most generous. In August and September, your Jupiter and Lunar North Node influences may have insights about how practicality and material generosity can work together. With your Mars in Scorpio, passions may peak in November and December. The strongest feelings will need the fewest words. Grow close and cherish one another.

Pisces: 2016 is a year rich with changes and opportunities for greater, deeper happiness together. You will need to express what changes you want, though, and perhaps get the ball rolling on some of them. You and your partner are on firm ground all year long with the Mercury-Venus conjunction in your 2016 chart. You may share big dreams of major purchases or vacations, or even generous donations to charities... but you both know to keep these dreams on hold, for this year at least. Starting in the midsummer, your partner may be the more emotional of the two of you, so handle each other with care and love. Be supportive, talk out and share more rather than clamming up and being more needy and demanding. Any exposed frailties will draw you closer together every day. In the fall and winter, decide which social events and groups are most satisfying and focus your time on them. Having fun can get intense, too!
