Brief love reading for each of the signs. Be sure to look at your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs for an expanded perspective.

One word frees us from the weight and pain of life. That word is love.

Sophocles

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: A wave of emotional overwhelm (positive or negative) signals it’s time to relinquish control. This isn’t about giving up but giving in to the awareness that self empowerment has nothing at all to do with controlling others. In fact, the risk is greater for making matters worse or adding to problems by trying to force things to go your way. Consider that the real root of attempts at domination is the insecurity rooted in feeling afraid, unsafe or vulnerable. But the fertility of love and overflowing abundance from Spirit can illuminate the darkest of places. You possess the resources to overcome adversities, no matter how small you may feel. Even setbacks offer a clarity concerning your preparedness and the chance to evolve spiritually. This week the emotional force of intuition, love, intimacy and connection to divine source offers the power of renewal that may be the spark to reviving a relationship, stirring your heart to a new love, or the springboard for a creative endeavor. When you let go, a multitude of opportunities can arrive that may show up as a gift, an open heart that allows for truth speak or a declaration of love. The result will bring a sense of lightness, relief, gratitude or the clearing of a cloud because that’s what love can do.
