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: Where would you be without the advice of your friends? You like to do things on your own, but even you admit that the input of other people can make a difference in your love life. You're like a magician when it comes to dating later in the week. Your dates will be delighted and amazed by the number of tricks you have up your sleeve. Remember to always leave them wanting more.

Taurus: Do you feel like a third wheel? One way to avoid that is to stop hanging out with your paired-up friends. But if that isn't an option, you should know that they probably don't feel the same way about the situation as you do. Most of your couple friends are happy to bring you along. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can always ask them to bring another friend along so you can all double date.

Gemini: How long have you been waiting for just one thing to go right in your love life? You finally get the break you've been looking for at the start of the week. Being in the right place at the right time helps, especially when the Universe decides that it's your turn to take a spin on the love-go-round! And when you get tired of just going around in circles, you'll know exactly where to get off the ride.

Cancer: You seek security and stability, so that's what you look for in a potential partner at the start of the week. It's easy to dismiss a lack of certain qualities when they're on paper, but when you meet someone in person you realize that there really are some things you can't live without. Trying new things leads to fun and romance later in the week, so don't be afraid to explore the unknown. Spontaneous moments are more exciting than planned ones.

Leo: What are your most alluring qualities? It's OK to rely on friends some of the time, but it's better to be able to identify your own best assets before going out and mixing and mingling in the beginning of the week. You have a lot of risqué thoughts over the weekend, but for some reason you don't want to act on them. Whether you chalk it up to maturity or laziness, listen to your intuition.

Virgo: You're normally OK with your practical, down-to-earth nature, but in the beginning of the week you're feeling a little bit like an isolated island. There are a lot of things you can do to meet new people, but most of them include stepping outside your comfort zone. If you're ready to break some of your comfortable habits, try something totally new over the weekend. Exchange numbers with a cute stranger in case you don't see each other again.

Libra: It would be so easy to get back together with someone from your past. If you can't get him or her out of your mind despite dating other people, maybe you really are meant to be together. If you've remained friends, the transition back to lovers might not be a difficult one, but if you've lost all touch, proceed slowly and patiently. A lot could have happened in the time gap between then and now.

Scorpio: What's currently guiding your love life, your head or your heart? It's easy to get carried away with the excitement of meeting someone new, but if loud alarms are going off all around you, it's a good idea to put on the brakes and pay attention to what they're trying to tell you. Arguing with an attractive stranger is annoying on the surface over the weekend, but is there more going on? Sometimes chemistry is hard to deny.

Sagittarius: You love to be adventurous and experiment, but you get better results by following the mainstream at the beginning of the week. You've definitely proven that you don't have to do what everyone else is doing, but you also don't have to try so hard to be the only one taking the particular romantic path you've chosen. Sometimes it's good to be the most unique person in the room, and other times it can work against you.

Capricorn: You're positively giddy when you set two people up on a blind date and it results in a love match. So why can't you do the same thing for yourself? For some reason you've been choosing all of the wrong kinds of potential partners lately, and it's beginning to get to you. Overcome your disappointment by losing yourself in your work or a favorite hobby. You really will meet someone when you least expect it.

Aquarius: You're so completely attracted to the unknown at the start of the week that you have absolutely no problem talking to perfect strangers about any topic imaginable. When it comes to romance, however, that's another story! You tend to get tongue-tied when talking to someone you really like, so it might be best to portray yourself as the strong but silent type until you can compose yourself long enough to say the right thing.

Pisces: Calling in some favors helps your love game in the beginning of the week. Your dating stock will go way up if you can whisk your date to the front of the line or get the two of you a reservation at the chef's table in the hottest new restaurant in town! You have a lot of drive and determination when you put your mind to something later in the week, so your secret crush had better watch out!
