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: When you're single, you get more "all about me" moments than when you're part of a couple, so why not celebrate the fact that you have a little more permission to be selfish than your coupled friends? If you don't want to be home at a certain time or go to a movie you don't want to see, you don't have to. There are benefits to partnering up, but right now you're pretty happy flying solo.

Taurus: Have you hit a wall in terms of ways to find dates? If the creative well has dried up, ask your happy single friends for advice. Sometimes it isn't what you know but who you know, so be sure to get the word out that you're single and looking. Who knows? Maybe a co-worker's friend or a cousin's neighbor is the one for you. All you had to do this whole time was let the Universe know!

Gemini: Focus on your communication skills. You're usually quite the smooth talker, but your pickup lines and flirting techniques could really use some work. Pay close attention to your body language, too. Anybody who's paying any attention at all can see that your words don't match your gestures. Working as part of a team at the end of the week boosts your self-esteem and helps you finally ask out your secret crush. A quiet place is better than a public one.

Cancer: You love it when a perfect romantic plan comes together, but even the best-laid plans can fall apart. Don't get too discouraged if something doesn't go exactly like you pictured it in your head. Chances are it will play out even better in reality. You flirt with serendipity over the weekend and your willingness to go with the flow pays off. What are the odds that the two of you would be right here, right now?

Leo: It isn't a secret that you need your fair share - or perhaps more than your fair share - of attention. If you have your eye on someone who isn't eyeing you back, it might not be a perfect match. Yours is one of the few signs that has no problem admitting that you're high maintenance. After all, you're worth it, right? Now you just have to find someone who agrees with you to spend the rest of your life with!

Virgo: You don't like to act without thinking things through. If you're having some wild urges at the beginning of the week, take some time to contemplate whether or not you want to act on them. Then if you have enough items listed in the "pro" column, go for it! Some awkward dating situations are unavoidable at the end of the week, but how you handle them makes all the difference. Smile even when you feel like crying.

Libra: Admit it. Right now you're looking for someone who's easy on the eyes! You smile to yourself when you hear other singles say they're looking for someone with a good personality or sense of humor, because while those things are important, too, you're simply focused on the physical. You're thankful to find someone who understands you over the weekend. The relationship might be brief, but it will definitely be memorable.

Scorpio: Just because you're single doesn't mean that those long, sometimes uncomfortable talks are behind you. A friend, family member, or ex wants to go over the details of a past relationship with you at some point in the beginning of the week, but you'd quite frankly rather visit the dentist! It's possible that you'll have to indulge them if you want to be left alone, but it will be just like you to disclose very few intimate details.

Sagittarius: No matter how long you've been single, you must have some really good dating stories by now! Without disclosing real names, dates, or places, tell some of your funniest or most uncomfortable or embarrassing romantic encounters to whomever will listen. Recounting your tales of woe is a great way to bond with other singles and laugh off some of those awkward moments. You may even come up with a way to make money from them over the weekend.

Capricorn: Take some time to work on yourself for a while. If you've been through a recent bad breakup or dating drought, give your love life some breathing room. Take up an old hobby or find a new one at the beginning of the week, preferably something that will take your mind off your romantic troubles. It's nice to be admired, so the attention from a secret admirer over the weekend makes you feel really special. Lucky you!

Aquarius: You love a good conversation, but you don't feel like saying very much when a friend or family member brings up an ex at the beginning of the week. It's enough that you have special memories of someone from your past. You don't have to share the details with anyone else. It's possible to meet someone new over the weekend, but you don't have to accept an invitation from anyone you don't feel chemistry with. Keep your options open.

Pisces: Do you have a fear of opening up to new people? Are you afraid that your words will get criticized or you'll say the wrong thing to the wrong person? There really is no right or wrong at the start of the week, so don't put so much pressure on yourself to be perfect. Some of the most attractive people in history were tragically flawed, so own your uniqueness and celebrate your individuality!
