Love Horoscope for the Week of April 9

Get ready to flirt with power. After mulling over what ‘power’ means for you, something beneficial you can do is to make a list itemizing where you feel your power comes through with ease (i.e. no complications or guilt), versus the situations in which you feel like it gets drained, usurped, not recognized, or beaten down.

Those circumstances that leave you grasping for your blankie can be modified—and you’ve got a few months to work on turning them around. It starts with owning your awesomeness and not apologizing for it.

When someone doesn’t know the extent of their power, they can unwittingly wreak havoc by throwing their weight around, or (on the other end of the spectrum) fading into the background. And you are not a fade into the background kind of person. Neither do you need to assert your presence into every situation. A little of you goes a long way.

So how to know when to step up and when to back off? People’s body language will tell you a lot. When someone’s eyes are locked on yours, body leaning forward, that’s a way of saying, “Mmm, more you, please.” And, now that Mars is mercifully preparing to move direct again on Friday, there’s a backlog of super-charged energy that’s just dying to be unleashed.

It could get insanely sexy. Couple that torrent of heat with Miss Venus’ predilection for unusual encounters this week and, well … wear something you feel powerful in, underneath all your clothes.
