What your zodiac sign says about your love life

Here is what horoscope.com has to say about your love life this week.

Aries: If you have a melancholy anniversary to celebrate in the beginning of the week, don't let it get you down. Your love life has a bright future, but you have to let go of the past in order to fully embrace it. Your fiery nature gets you a date with someone new at week's end, but your aggressive side could be a turnoff. Try to tone things down just a bit (but not completely).

Taurus: You're a traditionalist at heart, so you like the conventions and manners that go with old-fashioned dating. You might get a few interesting looks when you try to follow proper etiquette while on a date at the beginning of the week, but deep down your date will appreciate your valiant efforts. You love to make a good impression over the weekend, but you don't have to break the bank to do so. Originality counts.

Gemini: Things are looking up! No matter how bad your outlook has been about love lately, you feel a much more positive vibe in the beginning of the week. Consider acting on a way of meeting new people that you've only thought about before. You love to hear yourself talk later in the week, but talking only about yourself can really bore a date. Be sure to ask questions that will allow you to get to know the other person, too.

Cancer: What kind of grade would you get for your recent dating efforts? If it's anything less than an A in the effort department, you need to make some improvements. It's hard for you to put yourself out there, but once you do you'll probably wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Playing up your best physical quality later in the week will help you meet your secret crush, but your intelligence is what will keep them interested.

Leo: You feel like you have a lot of wisdom to share at the beginning of a new week, but a date doesn't necessarily want you to school him or her. Let your experiences flow out of you naturally, more like a conversation and less like a lecture. The current squeeze of an ex may seem to have it in for you later in the week, but you probably have a lot more in common than you think. Talk to each other rather than listen to rumors.

Virgo: When everything else in your life seems to be going downhill, it would be nice to have someone there to pick you up. Even though you don't have anyone you can currently call your own, there is someone who's there for you. Is it possible a friendship could turn romantic? If all of the pieces are in place, why not try to fit them together? The weekend is a great time for spontaneous activities. See where the moment takes you.

Libra: Have you been feeling like the course of your love life is out of your hands? Guess what? At the beginning of the week you get the chance to take charge again. When you come to a fork in the road, let your intuition guide you toward the left or the right. You may be nervous on a date over the weekend, but try not to dominate the conversation with fluff. The less you say, the better impression you'll make.

Scorpio: Have you ever heard the phrase "Now that you aren't trying to be perfect you can focus on being good"? That's you in the beginning of the week. No one expects you to be flawless. The less effort you make, the more your true, fabulous self can shine through. There's a romantic competition going on later in the week that you might not even know you're a part of. You win, of course.

Sagittarius: You don't have to give up on the dream of having a partner, but if there's something you really want to do, why not go for it? The longer you wait for "the one" to join you, the more you miss out. And guess what? Traveling alone can be a great way to meet your next romantic fling. The past resurfaces later in the week, but when you look logically at a breakup you see that it could never have really worked.

Capricorn: Do you know someone who is constantly asking for a status update on your love life? This kind of passive-aggressive pressure can be stressful, so find a gentle way to tell this person to mind their own business! Your communication skills are somewhat lacking later in the week, so when you ask someone out, the result could be extremely awkward. Then again, you'll never know unless you ask. What will you do?

Aquarius: You've allowed yourself to be tied down in the past, but at the beginning of the week you're really happy to be free. If you want to hear about love, you can live vicariously through your friends, but for now you'd rather experience life on your own. And that's OK. Expressing your emotions doesn't come easily to you later in the week. Let the words flow out of you instead of trying to filter them.

Pisces: Are you really trying to find love or are you just going on dates and checking out your online matches because that's what people expect you to do? If it isn't working for you, just stop. You don't have to live your life for anyone but you. It's challenging when an ex is so nonchalant about your breakup. You'll come to terms with things in your own way and in your own time.
