Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

Friday evening’s discriminating Virgo Moon may put a damper on romance since you’ll focus more on the flaws circling around your relationship rather than the redeeming qualities. Unfortunately, when the Moon moves into partnership-oriented Libra by Saturday afternoon instead of getting better, it may actually get worse.

A harsh opposition between the Sun and Saturn will leave you feeling as if responsibilities take precedence over fun and may also have you dwelling on the not so pleasant attributes of your mate. Then, on Sunday love planet Venus will oppose Mars, still traveling retrograde in Libra. This set up, combined with the Libra Moon, will be frustrating! You want to pursue something exciting and new romantically but your lover isn’t playing the same game as you … or if he or she is the rules they’re playing by are completely different. You’ll both want a relationship and love but may go about it in totally different ways. The result? You’ll only be star-crossed lovers this weekend.
