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: One of your best characteristics at the beginning of the new week is your compassion. Capitalize on your best qualities in order to attract the right mate or a fun date! A difficult situation involving a friend or family member isn't ideal later in the week, but you could meet someone new by being at the right place at the right time. When life gives you lemons, have your best lemonade recipe ready to go.

Taurus: You're having a lot of fun, but wouldn't it be better with someone by your side? If you yearn for a partner to share your ups - and downs - in the beginning of the week, do something unusual. Sometimes drastic times call for drastic measures. Your dreams have a lot of useful information about your love life, but you have to pay attention to them. Keep a dream journal or look up some dream information online over the weekend.

Gemini: Your love life engulfs you completely at the start of the week. Do you really like this much drama? At times you feel like you're living someone else's life instead of your own. It's OK to get off the merry-go-round every once in a while so you can catch your breath. Paying attention to a date over the weekend can really make a difference. Put your phone away and concentrate on every word he or she says.

Cancer: Seeing your love life from a new perspective can be completely eye opening at the start of the week. An offhand comment from a stranger doesn't mean much at the time it's spoken, but it can really make a difference to you when you think about it later. You have a lot to think about late in the week, especially if you've received more than one interesting proposition. What is your heart telling you to do?

Leo: It isn't like you to want to be alone, but you find yourself turning down social invitations for one reason or another at the beginning of the week. Could you be burned out on the social scene or do you just want to spend one-on-one time with someone special? Use the hours wisely over the weekend. When you finish your "must do" list, you might meet someone new you can spend your "want to" time with.

Virgo: Why can't your appetite for love be sated at the start of the week? Are you asking too much or are the people you're coming into contact with just not up to your standards? Either way, it's time to consider why you're looking for love in all the wrong places. Hiring a professional matchmaker could work wonders over the weekend, but if that option isn't in your budget, trust a friend or acquaintance to make romantic recommendations.

Libra: Dating should be fun at the beginning of the week. Try to go out without any stressful expectations. If love happens, it happens, but if it doesn't, at least you had a good meal or saw a great movie! If traveling to faraway places is on your agenda later in the week, keep your eyes peeled for fellow travelers with whom you have a lot in common. You have a good chance of finding love on the road over the weekend.

Scorpio: Just because you aren't currently in a committed relationship doesn't mean you aren't committed. You have a lot of people you care about, and vice versa, so try not to let it get you down that you're missing romantic love in your life. You may be willing to give more than someone else later in the week, which is OK so long as he or she is upfront about it. You deserve more than a one-sided relationship.

Sagittarius: The best dates for you at the beginning of the week are the ones who laugh with you. When looking for a future mate or just someone to hang out with, make sure the person has a great sense of humor! Your attitude turns a bit controlling when you really like somebody at the end of the week, but expressing too many emotions too soon can be a turnoff. Patience now will pay off in the future.

Capricorn: You can find advice about love from all kinds of sources at the start of the week. Sometimes words on a billboard or lines from a sappy romantic movie will speak to you. It doesn't matter where the inspiration comes from. So long as you're inspired, that's a good thing! Hearing gossip about yourself isn't fun, but if you get on social media over the weekend, you can set the record straight.

Aquarius: You may feel as though you have suddenly seen the light today. A situation that has been confusing for a while now, and of which you may not have been able to make heads or tails, suddenly dazzles you with its clarity. You know why the other person wants to be with you, and fully understand their motives. You also understand more clearly your own motivation.

Pisces: An ex might want you back at the beginning of the week, but you don't see any good reason to return. No matter how tempting the arguments may be for getting back together, you know there was a good reason you broke up in the first place! The issues in your current love life are enough to make you want to stick your head in the sand later in the week, but ignoring them won't make them go away.
