Your Love Week —Air Signs:
This week you need to exit the surreal world that you’ve been swimming through for the last few days and reenter the world of the living. Please. Your lover is desperate for you to return – not physically but mentally. He or she misses you desperately, respects your artistic flights of fancy, but wants you back for a while. The bed is just too big without you, and that wall that you’ve been staring at for the past few nights still isn’t producing the answer you seek. How dare you have the audacity to love yourself, Air Signs? Didn’t you know that self-love is a sign of conceit? Hah! That couldn’t be further from the truth. Your sweetheart is very attracted to your rising level of self-confidence as of late. Why? Because this time it isn’t phony. Give it a rest and snuggle up.

Your Love Week – Fire Signs:
OK, you had the perfect opportunity to do it last week. Every door was wide open. You’re lucky that your object of affection is a patient soul, because your diplomacy is getting in the way of things. Stop overanalyzing, Fire Signs. You can’t see the future of this relationship, so work in the present. That’s the real truth. Take a breather this week. In fact, take two, would you? Pack up the car with your lover and skip town, even if it’s for the afternoon. This is a mental health emergency, and if anyone will understand, it’s your sweetheart. It will be very rewarding mentally, physically, and emotionally. Fresh perspectives are sometimes all you need, and you need something, and fast. Spend some quiet time and just be.

This may be the week to introduce that “new” idea to your lover. Whether domestic, monetary, or very personal, all signs point to yes as far as it’s concerned. Reluctance will be a thing of the past. Water Signs, there’s just a short window for this opportunity, so it must be addressed this week or your sweetheart may change her or his mind. Do you know the real source of the problem? Your sweetheart needs you, but you don’t really need her or him. That doesn’t mean that you don’t love the person; it simply means that you could function easily without him or her. Your awareness of that seemingly scares your lover, even though you’ve never actually voiced it. Perhaps if you emphasize your lover’s importance to you during a quiet time this week, it may help with the awkward vibe. Be assertive. Give it a try. The stars promise lasting results

Don’t give up on your dreams; it’s time to persevere. Jupiter retrograde doesn’t mean that your luck has deserted you. Instead, you’re being encouraged to go within and envision what you want to have happen in this area of your life. It’s time to create your own luck by aligning your thinking and being congruent. The more you focus on what you do want to have happen rather than what you don’t, the easier it will be. Mars makes you a lot more vocal and willing to say it like it is. Take advantage of this to resolve issues that have been going on for too long. It’s time to say your peace and put it to rest. This is also a good time to get started on projects that you’ve been thinking about but never gotten around to starting. Don’t get into arguments about money or financial issues on Thursday. A difference of opinion is just that. You are so much more than the money you earn. However, you’ll need to be careful when Mercury turns retrograde on Sunday, because this three-week period isn’t such a good time for signing major deals or contracts or starting projects of some importance. If you have to commit, that’s fine. Just be prepared for the fact that you’ll need to make changes to the schedule. Payments may be delayed or you may find that mistakes are made that affect your financial situation. This is a good time to get unresolved problems sorted out so you have a clean slate. Try not to sign up for mortgages or other loans, as the process may not turn out as you expect. There may be delays and obstacles to getting what you want. Your love life is fairly quiet. There may be a secret affair going on that you don’t want anyone to know about. How long can you bear the tension?

Your Love Week – Earth Signs:
So the waters seem a bit murky this week, your clothes don’t seem to fit the way you want, your love isn’t calling you as much as you’d like, and you’re fed up. Take a deep breath, Earth Signs. Did you ever stop to think that perhaps you control your own surroundings? If your outlook is bleak, then everything else will follow suit. There is so much for you both to enjoy right now. You could have that one great feeling that is all encompassing: passion, kindness, and mystery. And who knows, maybe it could unravel into love. Stop trying to control things. Your intuition is in high gear, and you’re intensely picking up on the other’s feelings. This can be a good thing, but if you don’t leave their energy behind when you go, it could lead to terrible heaviness in your heart. So perhaps if you snap out of it, your nights will be much cozier. In fact, the stars say that’s true. Chin up.
