You might hit the cosmic jackpot in love this Monday when lucky Jupiter is at a gorgeous trine to Uranus, the planet of sudden events, in your sign. Jupiter is still in your 5th House of Romance — but only until August 11. This week, there’s strong potential for a rapid development in your love life — the kind that makes your heart beat faster! Then, on Wednesday and until August 8 you might notice that it’s harder to get turned on by your mate without emotional security. It’s a must.

This might not be your best week for communicating matters of the heart. On Wednesday, Mercury, the ruler of your true love sector, will be at a tense square to Neptune. This connection tends to fog up the mind so information going in or out tends to be blurred. You might not believe anything your lover is telling you this week. Alternatively, if you’re the one keeping a secret from your mate you’ll notice how it’s beginning to erode the quality of your love affair. Decisions in love remain unclear.

A chance conversation with a pal or someone you meet at a party may turn into a possible love connection. This person may offer to introduce you to someone special so be open if this is the case. Or, you might seek the advice of one of your friends in order to hash out a major relationship dilemma you’re having. His or her advice will be out of the box and extremely helpful.

Starting this Wednesday, you might be too hot to handle! Mars, the planet of assertive drive and libido, will enter your sign and remains in Cancer until August 8. During this time you’ll have little trouble going after whatever you want — including in matters of the heart. You’ll tend to pursue the object of your affection in a more passive way. Instead of making the first move in a bold manner, you might prefer to lure your special someone in with your emotional charms. It’ll work!

The ruler of your true love sector, Jupiter, is still in your sign until August 11, so be sure to make the most of the expansive opportunity in the romance department this placement has to offer. On Monday you might enjoy an exhilarating but very much unplanned encounter with your sweetheart. On Tuesday however, you might not want to ask a friend for advice about an intimate matter. You might receive mixed messages.

Monday is your day to reveal one of your innermost fantasies to your partner. You’ll be surprised at how receptive he or she is to hearing what you have to share. In fact, you might be turning that fantasy into reality before you know it! If single, there’s a strong potential for you and a friend or casual acquaintance to develop a sexual relationship after Wednesday. Make sure you want to go there.

Your partner might be instrumental this week in helping you achieve one of your long held dreams. He or she may introduce you to an important person on Monday with enough clout to help take your dream to the next level. It’s also possible that you and your partner are about to team up in order to make a true difference in a humanitarian endeavor. Together you’ll make a real difference. Wow!

You and your lover might not see eye to eye this week on an intimate matter. One of you might even try skirting the issue and attempt to avoid an honest conversation about the situation. You may also realize that you each have very distinct sexual needs and they are not necessarily compatible. Hiding what you truly need from your sweetheart will only set the stage for even bigger problems down the road.

You and your sweetie are in for a sexy adventure this week! On Monday, the two of you may decide to take an unexpected “magic carpet ride” together and expand your horizons during an exciting journey. Planning a trip to that exotic destination you’ve always wanted to visit would be perfect. After Wednesday, you’ll find your desires connecting more to your emotional connection to your mate. Sex without that emotional bond simply won’t work.

After Wednesday, you’ll feel extra motivated to focus on your relationship. Although you and your partner might experience more arguments than usual, it’ll only be due to the fact that there is a deeper, underlying issue that you need to work through. Surface arguments over silly matters are a reflection of your unwillingness to dig deeper and confront the true problem. Once you can name it, you’ll be able to work together to overcome it.

Perhaps you feel as if you need to hide your financial situation from your lover. If you’re newly dating you might think it’s not his or her business to know everything about your earnings, assets and debts — and you may be correct. Still on Tuesday, the temptation to lie will be strong. Remember, a relationship is built on trust and honesty. If you’re serious about this person you may want to re-evaluate your approach.

On Wednesday until August 8, you’ll make it a priority to pursue pleasure. Mars, the planet of action, will enter your 5th house of romance and fun allowing you all the energy you could imagine to enjoy the pleasures life has to offer. A new sexual relationship may develop this time and if so, it’ll be incredibly gratifying. Even if you’re already in a relationship you can anticipate more fun in the bedroom.
