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 control your own destiny as a new week gets underway. Sometimes the hardest part is figuring out what you actually want. Once you set a goal, it's relatively easy for you to reach it. Your first instinct on a date over the weekend is to be very blunt, but you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. In other words, put on a smile even when you don't feel like it.

Taurus: Things probably aren't as bad as you think they are at the beginning of the week. You can feel your veil of sadness slowly lifting, and it won't be long until you feel 100 percent like your old self. Do your best to hide your reaction if you find out something surprising or even shocking about a date over the weekend. And don't immediately assume the worst. Gossip isn't always true.

Gemini: What are you really waiting for? You've told your friends, your family, and maybe even yourself that it just isn't the right time to make your move, but is it possible you fear rejection? Everyone does. But if you don't try, you'll never know what might have been. You feel a deep-seated need to get something off your chest, but confessing to an ex might not bring you the desired effect. Keep it to yourself a while longer.

Cancer: Did you pour your heart out to someone only to have the person laugh in your face? Or maybe it wasn't quite that bad, but the reaction wasn't what you were hoping for. Keep your head up. There's no reason to stop being yourself simply because your emotional expressions aren't appreciated. Good food, friends, and laughs are your top priority over the weekend. If romance happens, it's an added bonus.

Leo: Are you feeling regret over ending a past relationship? Are you still holding a torch for an unrequited love or someone who broke up with you a long time ago? The start of the week is the time to get all of those old feelings out into the open and deal with them once and for all. If you have parties to attend on the last couple days of the week, invite a friend along. It's better than going alone.

Virgo: Hold your head high after you get rejected. Self-confidence attracts people, but feeling sorry for yourself repels them. In other words, fake it till you make it. The way you communicate affects your chances of getting a date later in the week, especially if you use your phone and other electronic devices to help get dates rather than approaching people in person. Make sure your messages are reaching their intended target.

Libra: Do you feel like your love life is going to stay exactly the way it is? What happened to your optimism? There is a lot of hope relating to your love life if you know where to look for it. You have a hard time looking past someone's minor flaws later in the week, but having expectations that are too high could cause you to miss out on someone special. Acceptance is the key.

Scorpio: If you have a hard time accepting compliments, then the beginning of the week is going to be difficult for you. There's just something about you that attracts other people, so there's no reason to try to deny your allure! You may not be looking forward to going to an anniversary celebration, engagement party, or weddings over the weekend, but it's actually a good place to meet other singles. Put yourself out there.

Sagittarius: What do you see when you look around? Most likely you're content with most parts of your life, including your marital status. You've never really been concerned with appearances or what other people think, so why start now? Boredom can set in over the weekend if you don't keep busy, but don't feel the need to ask someone out just because you have nothing better to do. Staying home is actually a pretty attractive alternative.

Capricorn: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Getting rejected isn't the end of the world - there are plenty more fish in the sea. Communication glitches could complicate your love life tremendously later in the week, so when you send a text or leave a voicemail, be sure the other person receives it. You may have to put in a little extra effort, but it's worth it to make sure your signals aren't getting crossed.

Aquarius: Opposites do attract, but at the beginning of the week you're better off paired with someone who's going to complement you rather than compete with you. The search for your soul mate starts and leads closer to home than you may think. Your single friends want you to go out over the weekend, but your contemplative mood might not make you very good company. Having a deep conversation with one person is better than trying to make small talk with ten.

Pisces: Do you view a couple you know as the "perfect" twosome? Just realize that they may not be as ideal as they seem. Love is hard work no matter how effortless some people make it look. The weekend is a good time to start turning your romantic dreams and wishes into reality, but don't expect everything to fall into place right away. Your patience will be rewarded - don't worry!
