Lipstick Mystic Love Forecast

Aries: March 21 -- April 19

Be open to dating people who might not be your usual "type." The moon is encouraging you to get to know friends from different backgrounds who hold lots of different beliefs. Even if you just enjoy some great conversations, you'll learn something.

Taurus: April 20 -- May 20

As Jupiter goes retrograde you might want to take a break from the things you've been obsessing about lately. If you're trying to figure out a complicated romantic situation, try spending time with casual friends for a while. Don't pressure yourself into making decisions.

Gemini: May 21 -- June 21

A moon opposition is putting you in one of your rare shy moods. You might not feel like partying and having fun with friends. Instead, spend time reading, writing, and doing things that engage your creative mind.

Cancer: June 22 -- July 22

You could receive some lusty compliments and increased attention this week, courtesy of Mars. Just when you felt unattractive or fat, people are coming out of the woodwork to let you know how special you really are.

Leo: July 23 -- Aug. 22

This is a great week for sharing intimate, soul level communication with someone. Mercury is creating some special opportunities to talk with your honey. Share your secret hopes, fears, and dreams, and you'll discover a wonderful level of closeness.

Virgo: Aug. 23 -- Sept. 22

With Mercury finally going out of retrograde, projects that were on hold will all take off at once. You could be really busy with work or school commitments. Make sure your honey knows that you might have less time to spend together.

Libra: Sept. 23 -- Oct. 23

It's important for you to have an equal balance of give and take in a relationship. If things are feeling out of whack, talk with your partner about it. Maybe you don't want to cook dinner every night or you're tired of paying all the bills. Work it out.

Scorpio: Oct. 24 -- Nov. 21

You could be attracted to someone intense and mysterious this week as the moon heats up the intrigue. Maybe you'll see someone on the street who shocks you with his or her glamour. Or perhaps you'll discover someone in your immediate circle who has eccentric appeal.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 -- Dec. 21

Inventive Uranus is increasing your desire for variety in the bedroom. If you always just have dinner and a movie with your honey, try something different. Or if you always go to the same hangout with your partner, take a trip out of town together instead.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 -- Jan. 19

Jupiter is increasing your cash flow, which is a good thing. You could be inspired to treat your sweetheart to something special. Arrange an elegant night out on the town or buy your honey a sweet little gift just for fun.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 -- Feb. 18

Mixing business with pleasure is rarely a good idea, so try not to get too caught up that new attraction to someone from work. It's okay to flirt, but it's probably wise to avoid further romantic complication with this person. Saturn says use caution.

Pisces: Feb. 19 -- March 20

With the sun opposite your sign, you could be thinking about all the romantic relationships that didn't work out or friendships that ended badly. Don't be hard on yourself. This is a great time to make a list of personal "do's and don'ts."
