Your LOVECAST™: Try Not to Overreact to the Stress

Tuesday’s emotionally charged New Moon eclipse in Cancer can rattle relationships throughout the week, so try not to overreact to the stress. Passion and drama both escalate in the middle of the week. During the weekend, feelings are chaotic on Saturday afternoon – but love casts a rosy glow over relationships on Saturday night and Sunday. Best days for love are Wednesday and Sunday.

Week of July 20 – 26, 2009

Cancer: The New Moon in your sign brings a fresh start in your personal life, but the eclipse can make you moody as well.
