A powerful planetary pairing of strength and passion will propel romantic prospects into the stratosphere this week (for most signs anyway)! As the summer passes it’s official halfway point, it’ll remain just as hot socially as it is atmospherically. Find out how much your temperature could increase here.
Aries
This week, you’ll harness the universe’s magnetic powers so strongly, that your dreamlover won’t be able to resist your seductive pull. This cosmically-assisted connection has potential to continue, if you can manage to emotionally float like a butterfly (instead of letting your insecurities cause you to sting like a bee). Celestial Style Tip: Matt & Nat’s Santogold shoulder bag is as rocker gritty/feminine as its namesake.
Taurus
Look out, Taurus – stars will align to inspire a weekend filled with sensual attractions and physical reactions! Although romance is ordained, if you want to maintain momentum you’re going to have to give generously without thoughts of what you expect to get in return. Celestial Style Tip: Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent’s Suede Grocery Bag is too chic to be filled with foodstuffs, but perfect for everything else.
Gemini
Two of the Zodiac’s best-matched planets will meet in your sign this weekend, which means you can expect lots of love! Whether your ring finger’s getting itchy, or you’ve looking for a no-strings cuddle buddy, it’ll be a great time to put yourself out there and reap the universe’s romantic rewards. Celestial Style Tip: Alexander Wang’s Rocco Mini Duffel is an edgy re-imagining of the duffel silhouette.
Cancer
Home will be where the heart is this week, Cancer! You’ll enjoy yourself most if you swap your dancing shoes for a pair of Isotoners, and spend your downtime curled up with your boo. If you’re single and crushing, invite the object of your affections over for dinner. Your home just may transform into a love nest. Celestial Style Tip: Passersby will swoon over Rebecca Minkoff’s Swoon Hobo.
