Aries
MAR 21 - APR 19
You might feel the need to keep a health matter a secret from your sweetheart. If you choose to go this route, ask yourself why. Is it because you're afraid your love won't be able to handle the fact that you're grappling with an illness? Or do you not want to appear as anything less than perfect in his or her eyes? Remember that if you hope to have anything real with your partner, you have to be willing to show them all of you. Even when it's not so pretty.
Taurus
APR 20 - MAY 20
You are definitely caught up in romance this week and, for you, Taurus, this might not be such a bad thing. Sure, it's possible that you're not seeing your lover clearly or that you're starting to make excuses for a certain behavior he or she has that truly does rub you the wrong way. On the flip side, however, you might also be considering the reality that no one is perfect and that love is not about making someone who you want them to be. Rather, it's about accepting the person as he or she truly is.
Gemini
MAY 21 - JUN 20
Try as you might, Gemini, it's possible that your sweetheart is simply not going to feel the love for someone in your family the way you wish they could. It might be that your partner doesn't get along well with one of your parents, a sibling, or even a child you have from another relationship. If this is happening, you might be tempted to give up trying to make things better. Guess what ... that's exactly what you need to do. When you surrender to what you can't control in this situation, you're likely to find that it all ends up working out anyway.
Cancer
JUN 21 - JUL 22
The week might start off with you getting mixed signals from your lover about a decision you need to make together. He or she may avoid a conversation or try not to address a problem in the practical, realistic way you wish he or she would. Fortunately, this is a temporary state. By Friday, the two of you will join forces in the most positive and powerful way to consciously discuss whatever it is you need to so that your relationship can not only survive, but thrive.
Leo
JUL 23 - AUG 22
You might feel as if you need to hide money from your partner, or it's possible that you'll discover your partner is the one hiding cash from you. If this is happening, you'll want to consider why your relationship has devolved into a situation where one of you feels the need to be this cagey. Was there a betrayal of trust concerning finances? Or is one of you simply being paranoid? Fortunately, by Friday you'll find a way past this dilemma. Acknowledging that you each need to have your own money without being made to feel guilty about it might be the solution.
Virgo
AUG 23 - SEP 22
You've got rainbows and unicorns swirling through your brain when it comes to your love life. Your partner might seem like an absolute angel on Earth as far as you're concerned, thanks to the behavior he or she is showing you this week. Your sweetheart might do something so extraordinarily kind and loving for you that you feel the need to pinch yourself to make sure that it's really happening. If you ever doubted the possibility of unconditional love and devotion, then your mate is certainly going to make you reconsider.
Libra
SEP 23 - OCT 22
You might feel confused about your love life this week. If you're single, it's possible that you are receiving mixed messages from either a friend or someone you work with about a potential romantic attraction. One moment this person is flirting with you and the next he or she seems completely evasive and unreachable. It's maddening! Your best course of action is to do nothing and allow this person to pick a lane. If they don't, then that is a choice in itself. Move on.
Scorpio
OCT 23 - NOV 21
You might think your mind is playing tricks on this week. A situation that seems too good to be true may present itself and, if this happens, you'll truly be stumped. On the one hand, you'll desperately want to believe that this romantic scenario is real and not just the stuff that fairytales are made of. Your mind, however, won't allow you to get caught up in anything that doesn't have substance. Fortunately, by Friday you'll realize that this is not fake love news. It's real.
Sagittarius
NOV 22 - DEC 21
You won't be able to think clearly enough this week to make a sound decision about your love life or a domestic matter. As a result, this won't be a good time to choose to give up your apartment and move in with your lover. It also may not be an ideal time to meet his or her parents for the first time or introduce your new squeeze to your children if you have any. Everything seems perfect and, yet, there is some piece of information that is just beyond your reach. Wait until Sunday when you'll finally figure out what it is. Then, you'll have clarity.
Capricorn
DEC 22 - JAN 19
You might enjoy believing in a romantic fairytale this week. And lucky you: By the end of the week, all of that faith you have in love might lead you to actually having your romantic dream come true! It's the kind of scenario where, when you believe enough with all of your heart and soul in the potential of something, it can actually manifest in the physical world. So if there is someone special you have your eye on, Capricorn, you might want to start picturing their arms around you. Before you can blink, that's exactly what will happen.
Aquarius
JAN 20 - FEB 18
You might not see things clearly in your love life early this week, but after Wednesday, you're likely to experience a massive awakening. The bubble will burst and you'll realize that if the person you are giving your heart to isn't valuing and respecting you the way you deserve to be, then it's just not love. And at this point, if it's not love, you might be wasting your time. You are full of too many beautiful qualities that make you whole to ever settle for being loved in halves. This week, Aquarius, you'll finally take a stand and see this for yourself.
Pisces
FEB 19 - MAR 20
You are willing to overlook so much about your partner in order to maintain the peace and harmony of your relationship. The truth is, however, it's your natural tendency to see what's positive and ignore the wrinkles in anyone's personality. That's just more comfortable for you. While this might sometimes backfire and hurt you, this week if you talk about this propensity with a friend, he or she might be the objective voice of reason that helps you understand that your relationship can still be good even if it's not perfect.

Singer Jackie Wilson, who helped usher in the emergence of soul and rhythm-and-blues music in the 1960s, was posthumously honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.
Motown founder Berry Gordy, legendary singer Smokey Robinson and Marshall Thompson, a member of the R&B/soul vocal quartet “The Chi-Lites,” were among the notables who gathered for the ceremony at 7057 Hollywood Blvd., near Sycamore Street.
The star was accepted by Wilson’s son, John.
“If my father was here today, he would say getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has truly taken us higher than we’ve ever been lifted before,” John Wilson said.
The ceremony coincided with the release of “The Definitive Jackie Wilson,” a compilation of 50 remastered iconic songs.
“Jackie Wilson was absolutely the man,” Robinson told the crowd. “I am so happy that he finally got this recognition and he will be on this street for all times.”
Born June 9, 1934, in Detroit, Wilson was an amateur boxer who began singing in a gospel quartet called the Ever-Ready Gospel Singers. In 1953 he joined Billy Ward and His Dominoes, eventually becoming its lead singer.
Wilson began his solo career in November 1957 with his debut single “Reet Petite (The Finest Girl You Ever Want To Meet),” written by Gordy and Billy Davis. The song reached 62nd on Billboard’s pop chart.
Wilson’s breakout hit “Lonely Teardrops,” written by Gordy, his sister Gwendolyn Gordy and Davis, was released Nov. 17, 1958. It reached No. 1 on the R&B chart and seventh on the pop chart. It is 315th on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and listed on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's list of “The 500 Songs that Shaped Rock & Roll.”
“Lonely Teardrops” led to Wilson appearing on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and “American Bandstand.”
From 1958 to 1970, Wilson was a mainstay of the R&B and pop charts with two dozen Top 40 singles, including “That’s Why (I Love You So),” “A Woman, a Lover, a Friend,” “Doggin’ Around,” “Baby Workout,” “(I Can Feel These Vibrations) This Love is For Real” and “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher,” which would be used as the theme song for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.
Wilson was known as “Mr. Excitement” for his dazzling stage moves and soaring vocal range. He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and The R&B Music Hall of Fame.
On Sept. 29, 1975, while playing a Dick Clark oldies revue show at the Latin Casino in New Jersey, Wilson suffered a massive heart attack on stage while singing “Lonely Teardrops.” Wilson was hospitalized until his death on Jan. 21, 1984, at age 49.

Aries
MAR 21 - APR 19
You're not interested in romance this week ... not really. The truth is that you'll have spectacular opportunities to chase in work and professional matters, so your focus just seems to be more on your money and career and not so much on what's happening in your private world. Unless, of course, your work and romantic life somehow intersect. If you're having a fling with someone who works for you or who you work for, then this is a week you can expect it to really heat up. There might also be an opportunity for one of your colleagues to set you up on a date with someone who isn't your usual type. Be open.
Taurus
APR 20 - MAY 20
If you're completely single, you can look forward to that changing. On Friday a New Moon in your 5th House of Romance ignites true passion potential for you and someone special. This is the area of your chart where you meet someone, start to date, and fall in love, so it must be activated in order for a new romance to begin. Taurus, this part of your chart is SO hot right now, you simply must have something in the works. In addition to that New Moon, you'll have both cosmic lovers -- Venus and Mars -- moving through your true love sector and making a perfect link to Uranus in YOUR sign. Electrifying romance is yours.
Gemini
MAY 21 - JUN 20
You and your sweetheart are making fabulous changes to your domestic life together, and it's all being done so that you can add more excitement to your relationship. There's something about your living situation that is changing that will somehow give you and your lover more freedom. Maybe the kids are leaving the nest and, all of a sudden, you and your partner have tons of privacy to enjoy each other whenever and wherever you'd like! Or, it's possible that you will decide to purchase a vacation home that becomes your exclusive romantic getaway. Fun!
Cancer
JUN 21 - JUL 22
Your love life is anything but boring this week. Stimulation comes to you from every angle, especially if you're single or newly dating someone. You might go out with a group of couples and do something you've never done before. This can be anything from roller skating to salsa dancing, but whatever it is, you'll find that it triggers major pheromones of excitement between you and your lover. If you're married, then you and your partner are likely to make a long-term decision about your relationship on Sunday. It will bring even more security to your love connection.
Leo
JUL 23 - AUG 22
Your partner's recent boost of support to you and your goals might translate into actual cash this week. A spectacular financial and career opportunity is coming your way and it seems to have its roots in an unexpected development courtesy of your partner. He or she is likely to be the catalyst or the "secret sauce" behind the magnificent professional and financial glory that is on your horizon. You might even make an unexpected decision to go into business with your mate. It will be one of the best decisions you've made yet.
Virgo
AUG 23 - SEP 22
You are SO favored in love this week, Virgo, that it's almost nauseating. Almost. Mostly, it's absolutely fabulous because you're about to lean so far out of your comfort zone that it's going to happily surprise you. There's every indication that you're wildly attracted to someone who is nothing like your usual checklist of the perfect mate. The best part of your current situation is that the differences are what's responsible for making you feel this electrified. You'll decide to throw caution to the wind and go with the flow of love. You won't regret it.
Libra
SEP 23 - OCT 22
Your partner is about to surprise you this week with one of two things: positive news about money or a sexy erotic encounter that leaves you reeling. If you're lucky enough, you might even get both! If you're completely single, then you might start a sudden secret love affair with someone you meet out of the blue. You'll surprise yourself at how quickly this connection becomes physical, but it will be so positive. In fact, you'll be shocked at how quickly this has the potential to progress into something real. Trust it.
Scorpio
OCT 23 - NOV 21
Expect your love life to be a nonstop whirlwind of endless surprises this week. Uranus, the planet of sudden developments, is firmly entrenched in your partnership sector these days, so you're already quite familiar with the roller coaster ride. This week, however, you're more likely to experience ups than downs. Venus and Mars will both make gorgeous links to Uranus, proving that if you're willing to help your partner pursue their most unusual goals and desires, they will respond to you with extraordinary admiration and appreciation ... not to mention mind-blowing sex.
Sagittarius
NOV 22 - DEC 21
A spectacular career opportunity is yours this week, so you'd better make time for work and put playtime on the back burner. Of course, if your current love life situation somehow blends into your career, then you're absolutely golden. You'll feel like you've got a perfect balance where your physical and emotional needs in relationship are being met, all while your professional world is on fire. Your boss might want something more than a business relationship with you if you're completely single. One of your employees or clients may also want to mix business with pleasure. Will you, or won't you?
Capricorn
DEC 22 - JAN 19
Endless twists and turns in your love life have been par for the course ever since Uranus moved into your romance sector back in May. While you might have experienced a sudden ending in your love life, this energy can just as easily help you forge an instant love connection. This week, it all points to the latter. You've got the most radiant potential for a chance meeting with someone who lights your fire both spiritually and physically. This person has the potential to turn into the 8th wonder of your personal world. Explore!
Aquarius
JAN 20 - FEB 18
You and your partner might be ready to kick up your sexual lives together a notch or two ... or ten! A New Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy on Friday lends itself to a fantastic fresh start in the most erotic zone of your chart. Your partner might approach you with an idea to experiment in some new way. Perhaps you'll attend tantric sex classes together or be open to a couple's massage class. Or, the two of you might sign up for a retreat on love, sex, and intimacy that awakens the best potential of your relationship.
Pisces
FEB 19 - MAR 20
If you've been dating someone, then this is the week you're likely to tear up your list of expectations and realize that the person you're with is perfect for you. A commitment in some form is likely, whether it's choosing to be in an exclusive relationship or something deeper like moving in together or becoming engaged. If you're already engaged, this is a great time to get married or to sign a pre-nup or other vital contract that is connected to your love relationship. A New Moon in your partnership sector will open your mind and your heart. Beautiful!
