Lipstick Mystic Love Forecast

Aries: March 21 -- April 19

You could discover that you share a wonderful connection with someone, thanks to friendly Mercury. Maybe you'll find out that that shy neighbor has lots of things in common with you. Or you'll discover that a coworker adores the same music or movies as you do.

Taurus: April 20 -- May 20

With Venus moving into a friendly sign, domestic bliss can be yours. You'll settle into a comfortable groove with someone you just started dating. Or you'll discover that you enjoy spending time more than ever with your long-time love.

Gemini: May 21 -- June 21

You could be going back and forth about a relationship as Saturn generates some confusion. Don't over-analyze things. If you want to spend romantic evenings with someone, go for it. Just don't project too far into the future.

Cancer: June 22 -- July 22

You might hear from a friend you haven't spoken with for a long time. This could be a former flame or someone you once had romantic feelings for. The sun is kicking up a renewed sense of connection, so see where it goes.

Leo: July 23 -- Aug. 22

You could find yourself wondering about "the one who got away." Maybe you still have strong feelings for someone you were once involved with, and these emotions are hitting you again out of the blue. Mercury says sort it out.

Virgo: Aug. 23 -- Sept. 22

The sun is entering your sign, and the next four weeks will be your personal New Year. It's a great time for making resolutions, letting go of old habits, and starting off on the right foot with new friends. Focus on the positive and eliminate the negative.

Libra: Sept. 23 -- Oct. 23

You might be attracted to two people at once. As an Air sign, you crave variety and hate it when your love life gets too boring. The moon is stirring up strong flirtatious vibes from a couple of directions. Keep exploring.

Scorpio: Oct. 24 -- Nov. 21

You'll want to take charge this week as a bold sun inspires you to assume the role of leader. Maybe you'll run a work project or take the leading role with a research paper. Others will be attracted to you as you project strong personal charisma.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 -- Dec. 21

Mercury is inspiring you to travel. You need to surround yourself with beautiful things and positive people. You've been feeling a little droopy lately, and a change of scene is just what you need. Be adventurous and give yourself permission to have fun.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 -- Jan.19

Don't rush to judgment if your honey proves that he or she has certain flaws. A moon opposition could make you crankier than usual, and it will be tempting to criticize your partner. Don't go there. Choose words that are supportive and loving.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 -- Feb. 18

Mercury is helping you flirt with total strangers while also charming the people who already know you. If you're not careful, you'll have your boss, your coworkers, your neighbors, and the people who work at your local deli all dying to date you.

Pisces: Feb. 19 -- March 20

You'll want to express yourself in imaginative and creative ways as Mars kicks up your inventiveness. Draw a sketch of your honey and leave it for her under her pillow in the morning. Compose a romantic song or write a ballad for your special guy.
