You've never been a big believer in the saying that love saves the day, but you may experience an eleventh hour conversion on July 1 when Venus conjoins Jupiter in Leo. Leo is the zodiac sign of the heart. The heart is the seat of our emotions, our character and our courage. And courage is what your lover will be summoning up after weeks of skirting around the issue of whether or not you have a future together. The time has come to speak from the heart and to express true feelings. Don't worry. You won't be disappointed.

Your ruling planet Venus is good-humored and easygoing when she's in Leo. It's an excellent time to have those conversations that you've been avoiding. You won't be talking at the same time as your husband or trying to outshout him. The kids won't be so contrary, your in-laws will be eerily cooperative, and even your pets will show a newfound respect and appreciation. You can expect life to be on the mend for the next 2-1/2 weeks. It won't quite be like the lion lying down next to the lamb, but it could be the next best thing.

You'll want to be out and about this week because the Mercury/Venus sextile makes you especially effervescent, charming and beguiling. You may say you're not looking and that it's all harmless flirting, but the men trailing behind you with their huge puppy dog eyes will certainly wish it were otherwise. July 5 is both a red letter day and a red flag day for love. This could be when you meet someone you wouldn't date in a million years. He has a real bad boy reputation, but he'd be willing to play nice just for you.

Friends will accuse you of idealizing him, but isn't that what romance is all about? People don't go running after the great love of their life because they're thinking things through rationally. If that were the case, then there would be a lot more satisfied customers out there. Neptune is the planet of magic. It rules over symbols, imagination and infatuation. Neptune invites us to forget about the past disappointments and to fall in love again like it was the first time. The sun/Neptune trine on July 1 implies that this time it might really work out.

On July 1, Venus, the planet of love and beauty, conjoins Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and higher purpose, in your sign. Simply put? It doesn't get better than this. In fact, this may be the best day of the year for love. The energy is so romantic and affectionate that even the most aloof boyfriends will be rubbing up beside you and purring a gentle purr. This is also the perfect time to mend rifts and to rebuild friendships. People just aren't in the mood to fight and be difficult. They want to make love, not war.

You're tired of friends playing matchmaker. You know that they mean well, but you can't help feeling like they're more invested in you making a love connection than you are. Sometimes they almost seem desperate — which can be attested to by their consistently poor choice in men. Nevertheless, say yes to the latest dinner party invite or weekend barbecue where you know they've got someone new waiting in the wings. Interestingly enough the sun/Neptune trine shows that it's not the guy they picked out for you who's the hot catch — it's the buddy that he brought along.

Don't be so quick to declare that you've found the love of your life because you may discover a couple of more contenders materializing this week. This is one of those problems that's never a problem to have. You can never have too much of a good thing when Venus conjoins Jupiter. These are the two benefics in astrology (i.e., these two planets always bring good things) so you can expect to be showered in an embarrassment of riches on July 1, 2 and 3. It's great news for love, money and enjoying the finer things in life.

The plan is to forget about that guy who broke your heart, and the Venus/Jupiter conjunction on July 1 shows that you are surrounded by fellows who are only too happy to provide a pleasant diversion. Nevertheless, it does look like you will be hearing from Mr. Persona Non Grata near the end of the week. Expect a message that's short on words but heartfelt in sentiment. You swore you'd never let him rope you back in, but there's still some unfinished business between the two of you despite protests to the contrary. Welcome to Saturn retrograde in Scorpio!

You'll be casting your gaze far afield now that Venus is joining Jupiter in Leo (July 1). This could lead you to fall in love with long distances — or at least with the people who travel them. Anything that strikes you as exotic will be an immediate turn-on. It's all very romantic, but what looks appealing to you may not go over so well with family and friends. They're not exactly keen on you pulling up stakes and moving halfway across the world.

You were born under a sign that's famous for saving money for a rainy day, but did you ever think about spending it on a sunny one? There's a sensational lineup of planets this week so if there was ever a time to splurge on your lover, then this is it. Treat him to a spa package, a night on the town or a weekend getaway. He'll be so thrilled that you thought of him — not to mention shocked that you actually orchestrated something extravagant like this. It's nice to know that you haven't lost your romantic touch.

Aquarians are often portrayed as open-minded, experimental and laid-back in love. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, you swing between the extremes of control freak and anarchist. It's why you get upset when people come into your life and throw you off balance. Right now it looks like someone is succeeding in doing exactly that which is why you're contemplating a swift and quiet exit. The stars would advise against it. Yes he's as exasperating as he is egotistical, but you must admit that it's been a long time since someone rocked your world.

It isn't easy being born under the zodiac sign of unconditional love. New Age books make it sound so easy. Unconditional love is all about peace, compassion and forgiveness. But what they neglect to tell you is that unconditional love is free of all limits — free to the point of being generic. If the love you have for a lover is no different than what you feel for your best friend, a dog, a favorite song or your collection of Manolo Blahniks, then who matters most? Thankfully the Mercury/Jupiter sextile on July 3 will help you to prioritize.
