What your zodiac sign says about your love life today

Our relationships are vital to our emotional stability. Hence the need to understand how to handle the special people in our lives.

Here is what horoscope.com has to say about your love life today.

Aries: The current astral configuration means you may find yourself feeling rather flat in terms of a current relationship, but don't let this worry you too much. After a period when you have been very much together and sharing everything, it is sometimes refreshing to spend time alone. You have not fallen out of love; you just both need some space. It will help you feel even closer.

Taurus: You can use aloofness and withdrawal as powerful weapons in the relationship game. The current aspect at play means you may be tempted to do so today, as you could be in a slightly vengeful mood. Needless to say, this is not the best way to go about things, and it would be better if you could openly admit that you are hurt, rather than close up and stop communicating.

Gemini: With today's planetary influences, you may feel more stern and less jovial than usual. But this may not be such a bad thing as far as your current relationship is concerned. Sometimes those closest to us tend to overstep the mark because they think we will turn a blind eye. But it would better if you were honest and said so, if something displeases you.

Cancer: Barriers and boundaries exist to keep things within limits, and to stop them from encroaching into inappropriate areas. Today's astral energy may encourage you to keep your feelings held back for fear that someone you greatly admire will see how much you care about them. Under normal circumstances you would not mind, but in this instance it could be extremely embarrassing. Do what you think is best.

 Leo: Today's planetary influences may make you appear more cold and distant than you actually feel. There is a certain energy in the air that tends to encourage a very dry sense of humour combined with a more detached perspective. If you are going out on a date with someone new, they may not understand, so try your best to generate some warmth and a real smile.

 Virgo: Don't worry if you don't feel enthusiastic about the date you are supposed to be going out on this evening. The current celestial energy is encouraging a more reflective mood, and one in which, to be honest, you would prefer to be alone. It may be better to explain exactly how you feel and arrange your meeting for another evening, when your sparkle and joie de vivre have returned.

Libra: In one way or another your feelings have a lot of power right now. The current aspect at play brings with it a tendency to want to manipulate using your emotional energy, which is made more effective by today's influence. It is better to let go and be natural than to run your relationship this way. If you love your partner (current or prospective), you should trust them as well.

Scorpio: The current astral configuration may mean that you feel somewhat obsessed about your partner (current or prospective). You can sometimes have a problem with possessiveness, but when also combined with some kind of fixation, it is definitely unhealthy. If you can detach yourself and do something different, or perhaps fix your attention elsewhere for a time, it may give both you and your love interest a needed break.

Sagittarius: You seem to be possessed by a great idea, which your partner (current or prospective) might not see in the same way you do. The current planetary alignment is really giving you the impetus to make some big changes in your life, which would naturally include the one you love. But right now you are so carried away that you have forgotten to ask how they feel about it.

Capricorn: The current celestial atmosphere may indicate that a set of beliefs is interfering with your current relationship. Whether they are yours or your partner (current or prospective)'s, there is a sense of friction. Perhaps you need to ask yourselves if your principles and ideals are more important than your being together. If the answer is yes, you may have to consider an alternative arrangement. If no - you know what to do.

Aquarius: Passion is one thing, but obsession is something else. Today's planetary alignment could indicate that you find someone just a bit too attractive, to the point where this is beginning to cause you problems. With this kind of influence, it is essential to be able to let go and allow events to flow as they will, although this may be difficult. Ultimately, it will make life easier all round.

Pisces: Sometimes it is good to reinforce the boundaries between our loved ones and ourselves, as if we do not, we tend to weaken the relationship. The current aspect at play encourages you to say what you mean and mean what you say, and not to automatically agree with everything your partner (current or prospective) does, or likes. Be true to yourself and to the things that make you unique.
