Emotions can be unpredictable, and today you may experience a rollercoaster of feelings that are challenging to control. Your love life runs hot and cold — intense passion and emotional distance.

Try to be self-aware and practice open communication. With care and concern, you and your partner can remain on the same page, even if today is a bit rocky.

Virgo

Not every relationship is meant to be 'traditional' and you might feel differently about what each person ought to do in a relationship.

If you've been thinking about forming a partnership with your significant other that is unique — like an open marriage or living in separate houses while remaining married, today's perfect for talking things over.

Libra

Today what you first thought would be a simple romance may turn into something more serious.

One word can change everything, and if a person says "I love you" you may be feeling a variety of emotions without knowing which one to focus on first. Today you are ready to explore the rainbow of feelings you are experiencing, and that's a big step for you, Sag.

Capricorn

Money is not everything but it can make your love life a bit sweeter because you can afford to lavish gifts and some nice dates for your partner. Today you may decide it's time to treat yourselves to something sweet to do together.
