WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: A special insight is revealed that causes you to make some important changes in your personal life. Taurus: Accepting social invitations could bring new and powerful people into your circle of friends. Gemini: Your confidence sets you apart from the hesitant crowd. Cancer: An influential individual likes your styles and becomes an important ally. Leo: Don’t get involved with a pointless power struggle Saturday. Virgo: You’re always allowed to change your mind later, so why not go for it now and see what happens? Libra: There’s safety in staying comfortable and not letting anyone know what your heart is telling you. However, this will cost you in the long run. Scorpio: Keep your eye on the prize, and you’ll surely come out a winner in love. Sagittarius: Recharge your battery by committing to a health plan. Capricorn: Don’t be afraid to play your power cards in matters of the heart. Aquarius: Watch for signals, and be sure to listen to that finely tuned intuition – it’s right on the money. Pisces: You have faced up to your responsibilities and learned some valuable love lessons.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Sexy Scorpio seems disinterested in love, and that’s part of Pisces’ intense attraction to this aloof sign. Scorpio’s love-’em-and-leave-’em attitude provides just the challenge Pisces wants this weekend. Scorpio starts the game by backing off, therefore Pisces makes a move. This chasing game never gets old, as long as these two can meet in the middle once in a while. This weekend is one of those times.
