March 21 – April 20

You may not be able to figure out what you want from a relationship this week, but you will be able to understand your lover’s needs. A Leo can show you things you didn’t know about love. The more you give, the more you receive. It’s a hot week, once you warm up to it.

April 21 – May 20

Rambunctious Mars close to cautious Saturn in your house of socializing makes this something of a schizophrenic week. You can take an emotional risk with an Aries, but be prepared for your life to suddenly get a little crazy. Pick a mood and stick with it.

May 21 – June 21

You may experience a feeling of melancholy or a yearning for another life this week. Go with the feeling, darling. Perhaps you need to carve out a new life for yourself – or at least begin to. A Leo wants to be part of it.

June 22 – July 22

Venus in your house of exes makes this a tough week for you to stay in the present. You have too many people from the past to deal with. Spend extra time with a Gemini. The laughs make this relationship worth reconsidering.

July 23 – Aug. 22

The sun’s transit through your career house puts you in a power position. Do all you can to improve your standing on the job. The bosses need to know just how hard you’ve been working. When you advocate for yourself, you get a payoff. A Virgo would pay any price to kiss you once.

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

On May 16, the emotional moon will move close to your ruler Mercury in your house of long-term relationships. If you want to move forward with your lover, it’s time to say the words. Which words? The ones you are thinking but are too scared to say, you nervous nelly! An Aries teaches you how to be brave(r).

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

The moon close to Uranus in your house of daily work means that your job could be full of surprises this week. Try to be optimistic and even idealistic, my dear. Don’t panic. Change is good. And if you are tense, let a Scorpio relax you in a most erotic way.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

This is a great week to make real headway in the relationship area of your life. The sun’s transit through your house of love brings you a new kind of romantic energy. Instead of playing the role of seducer, you are ready to be seduced. A Pisces is up for the task.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

Be kind to people you love – they are going to really come through for you when you need them. Sure, you’re feeling cynical about certain long-term relationships, but everything will work itself out. Don’t get righteous now. A Libra is on your side.

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Love affairs run either very hot or very cold this week, dear heart. There’s truly no in-between. You need to take a firm stand with a Scorpio – and perhaps use a firm hand, too – in order to get what you want. Someone has been bad!

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

If you are feeling edgy, seek out a new obsession. It’s easy to get fixated and stay fixated on a Capricorn. Why? Because the feeling is mutual. But try to come up with something else to focus your attention on, too. Your brain is turning to mush, dear.

Feb. 19 – March 20

The moon in your sign on May 12 and 13 puts you in a great mood and allows others to see you at your best. Make plans with an Aquarius and be as open as possible. Playing mind games is so 2003. The more up-front you are about what you want, the better your chances of getting it.
