Three survival tips for the week: First, no need to resort to secrecy, but don’t play all your cards yet. Next: don’t believe all the hype you hear. It’s not that anyone’s intentionally leading you on, but people will generally overstate their level of commitment right now. Take everything with a grain of salt. Finally, practice patience. You have big dreams and you want it all now. Unfortunately, we’re all on a cosmic timetable, and the Cosmos is in no rush to wave its magic wand. Be diligent and persistent without imposing your timeline on others. It will happen when it happens.

Wow, to be you right now. The Universe is showering you with all kinds of goodies that will benefit your love life exponentially.

Truly, if you maintain a steady vision of the qualities you seek in your mate (whether they’re in your life or have yet to appear), you will score the relationship you seek. If you haven’t yet cultivated an appreciation for magic, you’ll soon learn that it’s a regular part of daily life.

As the world continues to press you for maximum output, your relationship remains the arena in which you vent all of your frustrations. Releasing those feelings is certainly cleansing, though your partner may feel overwhelmed by the intensity of your purging. It may even feel to your mate as though you’re spoiling for a fight, if only to rid yourself of the inner tension you feel. Be clear with yourself: are you seeking solace from your mate, or are you dumping all of your angst firmly in their lap? Alleviate some of the stress by conditioning your thoughts and restructuring your time.

You’re right in the thick of it all, so staying under the radar is highly unlikely. Not that maintaining a low profile was ever your top priority. Still, you may need to apply some crazy glue to keep your head on, what with all of the to-ing and fro-ing, thanks to a demanding workload. If you want some time out with your sweetheart, you’re actually going to have to schedule it in. No madcap spontaneous rendezvous for you, cheri. Yes, the tone of your relationship may feel a bit stark momentarily. But it beats a poker stick in the eye.

You’ve never shied away from romance. It’s just that it all feels so intense right now. Maybe a little too intense. Common sense tells you all things in moderation, and normally you’d be right. But this week has the imprint of all or nothing on it. At the very least, a clear sense of identity can emerge from the surge of energy your love life is currently experiencing. But that means you have to stick your neck out and risk confrontation, if necessary. At the same time, you want to avoid stretching the boundaries of your relationship too far. Quite the trick indeed.

Okay hot stuff, it’s weeks like this that separate the lions from the cowards. But first, a quick review: being a lion does not mean bullying your partner or anyone who might live with you. And, by the same token, courage doesn’t necessarily speak in a big booming voice. Show us why you’re the king by demonstrating some of the mental prowess you’re currently developing. Case in point: a fight’s brewing with your significant other. You can roar until you scare away the goodwill between you. Or you can speak your piece with clarity and grace. Which do you choose?

If you’ve never seen the film Being John Malkovich, this is a fine time to view it. It has a message for you. Your head is so jam-packed that you could easily get stuck in there. I don’t mean to suggest that you’re on a narcissistic trip, but some things have recently shifted in your life, and there’s a lot of mental energy devoted to what that all means now. Questions such as who am I with or without a lover? likely preoccupy much of your energy. If you can connect with your inner lover, you’ll manifest that love externally more readily.

You’ve rightfully earned a reputation for being quietly accommodating and gracious, regardless of the cost to you. Now the Universe is challenging you to consider another approach. We’re not talking about grooming you for Rambo’s next fight. But people who generally take advantage of your even disposition will eventually learn that you’re still a force to be reckoned with. This week it may feel as though the world demands too much of you, especially monetarily. And your lover, should you have one, may add to the list of what s/he imagines you owe. Emphasis on imagines, my dear. Prepare thy backbone.

This is your time. Yes, you’re being pulled by heavy demands on both the home and work fronts. But it sure is invigorating, isn’t it? It’s like you’re able to draw power just by standing in the eye of the hurricane. No need to tell everyone it’s the secret to your identity. Though romance has to take a second seat to just about everything else going on in your life, you’re actually able to maintain a psychic or energetic link to the one you love. Maybe not as much fun as being in the sack, but it’s a cool power, nevertheless.

Your interior world is going to save you from going stark raving mad this week. If you can do your best to not overload yourself with commitments and activities, you’ll fare better. What you need right now is to savor some time out from the maddening crowds – maybe even your lover. If you have to hide under the blankets or sneak into a movie in the middle of the day, or just write everything down in a journal, then so be it. And if you can put your imagination to use to envision a serene and loving environment, that helps everything.
