WEEKEND LOVE HOROSCOPE: The sun spends a few lingering hours in Libra as it prepares to enter the sign of improvement, Virgo. Doing what’s best for relationships has been the preferred choice for weeks, but a slow shift in consciousness brings individual needs vividly into focus. Compromise is becoming less appealing, and finding someone who is more in line with your goals makes a little more sense. The meek miss out, so speak up, and be original while you’re at it! Friday night starts out playfully enough, but by the end of the night, it’s hard to distinguish between what’s real and what’s a game. But when the passion ignites, does it matter? With Mercury transiting in retrograde, a few dates could get seemingly spoiled with a case of cross wires, but what actually happens when you finally hook up is a better outcome anyhow. Show your strength of character through listening carefully – not only to what loved ones say, but to everything they mean, too. On Sunday, the sun bids adieu to Libra’s loving arms and enters the sign of improvement and growth, Virgo.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Libra is the artist, the beauty lover and the consummate partner. Teamed with charismatic Gemini, what could possibly go wrong? It is difficult to get either sign to commit to a long-term affair, but what is the rush? Both are content to vacillate in a middle ground indefinitely. Do not be concerned about what the world names your relationship. This love has merits that only the two can truly understand!
