Aries 

MAR 21 - APR 19 

You might be caught up this week with fixing a financial disaster between you and your partner. One example might be that the IRS alerts you to something that's wrong with a recent joint tax return. This is more likely to be the case if you have recently filed together for the first time. You might also be having a difficult time adjusting to a new financial reality with your partner. One of you might have recently lost an income or temporarily stopped working and is now relying on the other. This isn't an easy situation if you're both used to being so independent. Remembering that you're a team will help.

  

Taurus 

APR 20 - MAY 20 

A dilemma with your partner that you never seemed to be able to resolve in the past keeps coming up and frankly, you're tired of it. You thought this situation was over and that the two of you were free to move forward together in romantic bliss -- but it seems the universe has other plans. This might literally be about an ex for one of you who keeps trying to come between you and block your happiness. If this is the case, you and your partner need to have a real talk about this once and for all. There isn't a way for you or your partner to remain friends with this ex and continue to move forward with your love. Three's a crowd.

 

Gemini 

MAY 21 - JUN 20 

If either you or your sweetheart is dealing with a health issue, this week you might need to take a step back and help each other. Recovery and healing can be a slow and often aggravating process, but it is one that needs to be honored. Whether it's you or your mate, the good news is that you'll have the comfort of knowing that "in sickness and in health" you have definitely got each other's backs. If you're single, this week it's possible you will revisit the possibility of a romance with someone you used to date and work with. Careful! You might not want to go there.

 

Cancer 

JUN 21 - JUL 22 

Venus has been retrograde in your romance sector for a couple of weeks already, which might very well have brought an ex back into your life. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have reconciled or that you will, but it does mean that his or her energy is back right now -- and it's for a specific reason. This week, with Mercury and Venus aligned, you'll definitely be in communication with this person. You might simply reminisce about your good times together ... or even the not-so-happy times. Or, you might genuinely feel conflicted about possible reconciliation. Don't decide now. You really need to let it marinate.

 

Leo 

JUL 23 - AUG 22 

The back and forth between you and your sweetheart about what to do with this living situation of yours has got you quite drained, but you might begin to see progress this week. You and your partner are likely to have a war of words about this dilemma. At the same time, it's also likely that you will need to sit down, stop fighting about this, and start handling it. This might be a financial issue that has to do with saving for a home together. If you don't start planning for the future, it'll never happen. Revise your couple budget and start figuring this out.

  

Virgo 

AUG 23 - SEP 22 

You might feel as if your brain is stuck in the past when it comes to a love life situation. If you've been wronged by your partner, you might not be able to move past it no matter how much you want to. There might be a situation happening with your current partner that reminds you of something similar that happened in a previous relationship. This re-stimulation is not going to help you now, Virgo. Remember that you are in a different time and different relationship. You can make a different choice.

 

Libra 

SEP 23 - OCT 22 

Oh, Libra ... this won't be a week of hearts and butterflies in your stomach. Passion is possible, but it's likely to be directed in an argumentative way rather than between the sheets. It seems as if you and your sweetheart are about to engage in a legendary lovers' quarrel, and it has everything to do with money or not feeling valued by your mate. Maybe you're starting to feel as if your sweetheart only wants you for the fun times, someone to go out with on extravagant nights on the town that cost plenty of money but don't lead to anything real. If this is your situation, you might blow up and end it completely. When you have so much to offer, there is no reason to settle.

  

Scorpio 

OCT 23 - NOV 21 

Although you really want to talk to your partner and move past a disagreement you both have over a family situation, it doesn't seem as though you'll really make strides. At the beginning of the week you might believe you have but expect a flare-up by Friday. Suddenly, you'll be more contentious and argumentative, and it really is possible that you'll have sharper words than you mean to. If this happens, you'll ultimately regret it. Think carefully before you say something. Once it's out, you can't take it back.

  

Sagittarius 

NOV 22 - DEC 21 

There is something you know you have to say to your sweetheart but if you say it, it might change everything. In fact, it could even lead to a break-up. You're not happy about a certain dynamic in your relationship and it has become abundantly clear. You cannot keep pretending that this feeling of sadness and lack doesn't exist, and you know it. At the same time, however, you are afraid that if you name the elephant in the room it will ultimately lead to the end of your partnership. Sagittarius, would you rather have a love that lives in a brick house, or do you want to stay in the glass house?

  

Capricorn 

DEC 22 - JAN 19 

Usually it's your friends who you lean on the most when your love life is experiencing turbulence. You've got those select few pals you know you can count on through thick and thin. This week, however, you might feel as if you're completely on your own. You're going through something in your love life and when you try to talk to a friend about it, he or she doesn't seem interested. They might be tired of you complaining about this situation and never changing it. If this is happening, your friend's silence has just given you the most valuable advice of all. Are you ready to listen?

 

Aquarius 

JAN 20 - FEB 18 

You might not want to pay any attention to your love life this week, Aquarius. Turbulence seems to be the theme for you, no matter how hard you try to make things peaceful. If you're in a relationship and have a family, you and your partner might be at odds over a parenting dilemma. Another possibility is that you are feeling completely unsupported from your mate these days about your career goals. If you're single and trying to get a first date off the ground with someone, you're better off leaving it alone. If it's this much trouble to actually meet in person, it's a red flag. Dodge the bullet.

 

Pisces 

FEB 19 - MAR 20 

You might feel worn out this week in matters of the heart. Although you really want to stand up for yourself and what you know is right, you might also realize that your partner just isn't on the same page as you in this regard. Your version of the truth and your partner's might be very different. You'll now come to the uncomfortable realization that you just can't live in a world where there is this much disparity. It's a moral dilemma for sure, but your heart is still invested in this person. What will you do?
