Emotions could go to extremes this week as loving Venus crosses paths with excessive Jupiter on Monday and dreamy Neptune on Thursday. These hopeful planets offer glimpses of greater romantic fulfillment, but wishing for a better tomorrow won't make our current realities disappear. It's best to complete old personal business before jumping into an exciting new situation.

The Moon in your spontaneous sign should fire you up this weekend. You're ready to take a chance on love, even if the odds are against you. But you can't lose as long as you play with a joyful spirit. You're into the fun of the chase as much as you are into the outcome, which ensures that you'll have a great time whether love endures or only lasts one night.

It's time now to forgive and forget. Lingering in the past will only keep you from creating the future you desire. It's better to fall for someone foolishly, have some fun and then a little regret than it is to stay on the sidelines waiting for the perfect person to come along. Practice can be enjoyable, so live in the moment instead of planning a life in the future.

Friends could be the key to your social life this weekend. Meeting someone new as part of a group is an easier way to connect than on a blind date. Volunteer or community organizations are also excellent venues for mixing and mingling, with or without a partner. A bit of verbal self-control in advance will help to avoid embarrassment if you're tempted to share your private information too soon.

The tenderness you seek may be a little hard to come by this weekend since the Moon is in "wham bam, thank you ma'am" Aries where speed often overrules sensitivity. You may have to move more quickly if you want to keep up with someone special. A slower pace and more relaxed companions arrive on Sunday when the Moon plods into peaceful, patient but stubborn Taurus.

The Moon in your 9th House of Faraway Places makes Friday and Saturday ideal for travel. Connecting with someone from a different background or going to see a foreign film are ways to catch this wave without leaving town. Either way, you're ready for adventure and may overdo it before Sunday's cosmic slowdown provides some much needed rest.

You could be feeling feisty on Thursday, which can prepare you for an adventurous weekend. The Moon in impatient Aries is lighting up your 8th House of Intimacy and pushing you to take romantic risks. Since you're generally a prudent person, it's probably helpful to come on stronger than usual in the pursuit of the closeness you desire.

Make plenty of room for your personal life this weekend because the spicy Moon could be serving up a fresh serving of romance. Luna is visiting the relationship houses of your chart to bring a current partnership to a boil or spark a spontaneous connection with someone new. Take the initiative instead of passively waiting for anyone else to make a move.

You may need to be patient to find the pleasure that you seek this weekend. The Moon's firing through your 6th House of Work on Friday and Saturday, which could spark romance when doing a task but is more likely to keep you on edge. The Moon's shift into sensual Taurus on Sunday, though, is an open invitation to get close and cozy in the best possible ways. The waiting is the hardest part.

You are ready to party hardy with the fiery Aries Moon putting the spotlight on your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday. You need some excitement, which could rock the boat in a current relationship. But if you're single or have an adventurous partner, it's time to let your hair down, set aside responsibilities and play like there's no tomorrow.

You generally prefer to have a plan since a sense of order makes you feel much more comfortable. But the Moon in impatient Aries can whip up a storm of surprises that can catch you off guard this weekend. Be flexible and ready to adjust your schedule at a moment's notice if you want to have some fun. Pleasure can show up when and where you least expect to find it.

Surprising news could make for an interesting weekend with the uncontainable Aries Moon in your 3rd House of Communication. However, impulsive speech or angry words could put a nasty chill in the atmosphere. Ask for kindness and give it to others naturally if you want to keep the door to romance open. Stay conscious; being clever without becoming cruel is essential to attract the one you want.

The impetuous Aries Moon is pushing you to take some chances on Friday and Saturday. A new look or a fresh attitude can boost your self-confidence and increase your chances to make an interesting connection. Don't let cautious friends or a conservative partner stop you from experimenting unless you're doing something that is obviously too dangerous.
