What your zodiac sign says about your love life

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 this week.

Aries: You have a lot going on in your life, but you could veer a little off course without a loving partner to ground you. Of course, you're perfectly willing and able to do things on your own, but it might be time to start thinking about sharing your ups and downs with a special someone. You like to lead rather than follow over the weekend, so accepting dates where the other person plans everything isn't your style. Co-planning works best.

Taurus: Are you seeing the reality of your life or do you have blinders on when it comes to certain things? Before you dismiss the advice of friends or family members as criticism, take another look at what they're trying to point out to you. The information might not be that far off target, and sometimes other people's advice can be extremely beneficial. Listen closely to a date's life story over the weekend. Knowing what makes them tick brings you closer.

Gemini: You're completely fine being on your own, but some of your committed or married friends simply can't grasp the idea of being alone. You don't have to be the ambassador for single people everywhere, but when they express their concern, tell them there's really no need for anyone to feel sorry for you, because you're truly happy! An ex could resurface over the weekend, but the past is best left behind you.

Cancer: You may have uncontrollable crying spells and other emotional outbursts at the beginning of the week, but sometimes getting your feelings out this way can be cathartic. Don't let anyone tell you not to behave the way you're behaving. Letting things out every once in a while is good for the soul. Best-laid plans go awry later in the week, which actually benefits your love life. You meet potential romantic matches in the oddest places.

Leo: Your ego gets in the way of a happy love life in the first part of the week. You really want to show the person you're interested in what a great catch you are, but try not to overcompensate when you're feeling nervous, because a big egotistical display can be a big turnoff. Your other single friends are great companions later in the week. Going out as a group is more fun than sitting home alone!

Virgo: One great date is better than a dozen bad ones. Try to focus on meeting people who share your interests and values instead of just asking random people to go out with you. An online dating service might be worth the money to find quality matches. You don't appreciate a date showing up late over the weekend, and you might not be able to get over his or her lack of manners. Either it's something you can get past or it isn't.

Libra: Dishonesty is something you have a hard time getting over, so starting out a relationship with lying is one of the worst things a potential partner can do. If you have someone like that in your life right now, it's probably time to have a good long talk about your future expectations. You're all about giving people second chances, but if you have a feeling this one isn't going to change their ways, it's best not to get in too deep.

Scorpio: That stinger of yours has a reputation for being hurtful at times, but you can be incredibly sweet when you really like someone. You may not be ready to let your guard down just yet, but you know when to turn on the charm at the beginning of a budding new relationship! Find a way to apply your incredible drive and determination to your love life over the weekend. You won't be single for long if you don't want to be.

Sagittarius: Is your lack of money hindering your love life? Or perhaps you feel like people are only interested in you because of your material possessions. There is some strange energy surrounding money matters and how they relate to love in the beginning of the week, so try to keep the two as separate as possible. Being around long-term couples like your parents or grandparents makes you optimistic over the weekend. Love can endure.

Capricorn: An argument between you and someone you just met can be frustrating, but is there more going on than you're aware of? Sometimes it doesn't matter what you're thinking about someone as long as you're thinking about them! You know you can benefit from a friend's advice later in the week, so don't be afraid to ask for it. After all, how many times have you put in your two cents when he or she has asked you to?

Aquarius: You're only touching the tip of the iceberg when you talk with first dates and potential mates. You may be impatient to get down to more than where you both live and what kinds of jobs you have, but the first part of the week isn't a good time to discuss any heavy or controversial topics. Keep it light for now. You're easily distracted on dates over the weekend, which could send the wrong signal. If you're interested, act like it.

Pisces: Your friends have the best of intentions, but just because you're single and they know someone who's single doesn't mean that you'll meet and fall madly in love with each other! Saying no - kindly - to blind dates will save you a lot of awkward moments. Treating yourself to something extravagant is a great way to show you're happy being single. Sometimes it's enough to know it in your heart, and sometimes it's best to make a grand statement to the world!
