Weekend Love Horoscope: The Best Time for Romance

That Dance between Safety and Danger

By Jeff Jawer

Feelings are tender and psyches sensitive with the Moon in self-protective Cancer until early Sunday morning. It's not easy to be confident when moods descend to worry zones where thoughts of loss are stronger than hope for gains.

Still, foxy Venus enters scorching Scorpio on Saturday afternoon to stir the pot of desire, encouraging amorous behavior in spite of all the risks involved. Strange as it sounds, perhaps an attraction to that dance between safety and danger is what this weekend's really all about. Don't be surprised if someone signals an interest to connect and then shuts down when you respond. It's not some evil game meant to drive people crazy; it's just the contrast between the hunger to be loved deeply and the fear of being hurt.

The atmosphere shifts dramatically on Sunday when the Moon moves into lively Leo, a sign more accustomed to taking risks. Sure, pride swells like a giant balloon with Luna in this sign, but everyone is likely to also be more at ease being playful and enjoying the fun of relating instead of treating it like a matter of life or death. The idea is to be joyful with someone rather than trying to resolve major personal problems.
