Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

Friday could get a little chilly emotionally, with the Moon in ambitious Capricorn and freedom-loving Uranus gaining traction by slowly moving forward again. Independence may be more valued than cooperation and compromise now, providing some clarity about individual needs — but at the risk of losing your way on the road to love.

A friendlier mood rolls in on Saturday afternoon when the Moon enters amicable Aquarius. Going out as part of a group or working for a cause can be especially enjoyable. A spirit of adventure and willingness to take risks in pursuit of love comes with amorous Venus’ shift into outgoing Sagittarius later that night. Restlessness rules hearts as we seek broader horizons, which isn’t necessarily comforting for those who prefer caution and safety to unplanned romantic gestures.

The desire to escape routine relationships and predictable forms of seduction grows on Sunday when Venus squares enchanting Neptune. Ah, this is romantic fantasy at its dreamy best, when we tend to turn our backs on reality and let imagination take over. This is good so long as it’s a temporary escape from the ordinary and you channel this creative energy into a magical or spiritual experience. Yet it’s no time to bank on long-term plans and make commitments based on the inspiring but often fleeting feelings of the moment.
