Weekly Love Horoscope: Trouble in Paradise
General
Tension fills the air early in the week, making it impossible for relationships to go smoothly. On Wednesday, the Sun will conjunct Uranus, activating the urge for rebellion and independence. Then, on Thursday, the Sun will be at an angry square to Pluto. This energy may bring on conflict and power struggles in your personal life. If, for example, you feel like someone has the upper hand at the office, you may try to compensate by wielding power on your mate in an unfair way. Thankfully, Venus will enter Pisces on Saturday, and until May 2 we'll feel more inspired to enjoy romance and spiritual connections in matters of the heart.

Aries Horoscope (March 21 - April 19)
Your drive for autonomy may prove too difficult to pursue while you're in a relationship. Even if you're happy with your mate, it appears as if you'll require a significant amount of breathing room this week. Consider taking a "time out" from love, whether you're single or attached, and that way you can focus on your personal priorities without any added drama. If you're in a relationship, your mate already knows how important independence is to you. Hopefully, he or she will understand. Otherwise, you might begin to feel suffocated.
Taurus Horoscope (April 20 - May 20)
With Venus moving into gentle Pisces this week, you'll feel a distinct shift in your love nature. What will happen from Saturday until May 2 is that you'll enjoy social encounters more, and this will usher in new and exciting romantic prospects. You might decide to accept a friend's invitation to set you up on a blind date with someone he or she believes is a perfect soul mate for you. Or, you may consider that your feelings for a friend have blossomed into something more than just a platonic relationship.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 - June 20)
You might meet someone special who shares your goals and ambitions. If so, there might be a potential romance in the making ... but it will need to be one that you keep out of the bedroom for a bit. This is because, although Venus may provide an opportunity for you to fall in love, Mars -- the planet that rules sex -- is still traveling retrograde in your true love sector. This may put a wrinkle in your sex life if you initiate a sexual relationship with anyone new until after Mars turns direct. May 19 is not too far away. It'll be worth the wait.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 - July 22)
All of the career opportunity you've got going on might blow up an existing power struggle between you and your mate this week. On Tuesday, your partner will likely alternate between feeling optimistic about your prospects to feeling overwhelmed at the changes they imply regarding your relationship. Time will continue to be a scarce commodity as you move forward professionally, and balancing partnership, family and personal pursuits along with your career goals may be impossible. At least for a while.
Leo Horoscope (July 23 - Aug. 22)
If you're in the midst of a divorce, there may be legal tension ahead. Wednesday and Thursday in particular may prove to be rattling as there may be an unexpected development in the proceedings. Do your best to remain focused on cooperating with the process, and remember that the only way out of this situation is to go through it. Fortunately, after Saturday Venus will enter the area of your chart that rules shared resources. You may receive a favorable settlement after all. If attached, your mate could receive news of a raise.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)
If you're tempted to use sex as a weapon this week, it's a guarantee you'll be hurt. On Thursday, a nasty square between the Sun and Pluto (now in your true love sector) might bring on a power play between you and your sweetheart. Instead of working through it, you may choose to act in a more passive-aggressive way, withholding affection instead. Don't! Thankfully, love planet Venus will enter your partnership sector on Saturday. You and your mate will have much better bliss potential until May 2.
Libra Horoscope (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)
Unexpected changes in partnership will continue. A recent New Moon in your relationship sector this past Sunday guaranteed a fresh start, but because it's filled with tension it might not be all that you bargained for. On Wednesday, the Sun will connect with Uranus in your house of commitment, making you question whether or not a traditional union works for you any longer. Then, on Thursday, this revelation may have consequences on the home front. If single, after Saturday and until May 2 you may have an office romance blossom.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
Tension at the office may distract you from romance all week, but after Saturday you can count on a pleasant change of circumstances. By then Venus, the planet of love, will enter your romance sector, where she will remain until May 2. This annual transit of Venus in this part of your chart is one of the most supportive cycles to help you meet someone new. Be sure to go out and put yourself in a position to meet new and interesting people. Because Venus will be in Pisces, you'll feel most attracted to artistic, musical or spiritual souls.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
Love may be a battlefield for you this week. Although you'll have an extraordinary level of excitement, all of those sparks may come at a heavy price. A recent New Moon in your true love sector on Sunday ushered in opportunity for you to meet someone new. The problem is that in addition to the lunation itself being a stressful one, this week there are difficult planetary aspects happening to amplify the tension. A love triangle is possible, or a jealous ex. Avoid a one-night stand because it's something you'll surely regret in the morning.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
There is so much happening at home that it might put a dent in your relationship harmony this week. Unexpected developments in your domestic world might unnerve you, and you may expect your partner to make everything right. Don't put that kind of pressure on your mate. It's not only unfair, but it'll be unrealistic. He or she is likely to feel just as affected by what's happening as you are. The good news is that after Saturday you'll have an easier time communicating harmoniously. Until then, avoid major decisions if possible.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
You may shock your sweetheart this week with your words. Unexpected conversations, decisions or declarations may throw your relationship into a tailspin. At first, the impact may feel jarring, but on Wednesday you're also likely to feel as if getting this information out into the open has the potential to revolutionize your love connection in the most invigorating way. Sometimes you have to shake things up to keep the blood flowing. That's what may happen this week in your love life.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb. 19 - March 20)
After a difficult and distracting week of putting out fires in your financial life, you'll be glad to know a reward will arrive on Saturday. By then Venus, the planet of love, beauty and harmony, will enter your sign, where she'll remain until May 2. During this phase your powers of attraction are enhanced, allowing romantic opportunities to flourish. If single, more than one person may express interest. If attached, your mate will fall in love with you all over again.
