Capricorn Love Horoscope

• Yesterday
• Tomorrow

It could be what isn't said or discussed in your emotional world that causes you to feel you're being assessed or tested in some way. Your instincts are unlikely to fail you where a lover's agenda in such a way is concerned. You can either play the game or instigate a conversation that involves more openness – on both sides. If someone close wants you to be more upfront and open, then they might need to take the first step.

This week, you could feel tempted to cross a particular line you've chosen to remain behind. In fact, you might even feel pushed or forced to do so. Rather than resent this, look instead at the benefits surrounding it. Where romantic or relationship progress is concerned, it's as if the universe has decided that you need cosmic support to be a bit more proactive in the name of love. You can afford to be a bit less cautious this week and could find that, by rising to the challenge on offer, you're taken into territory you've wanted to arrive at for some time.

Just as you've become used to your love life being chaotic or unpredictable since last year, you should find that, from this month, affairs of the heart become calmer and more manageable. From August 11 until early next year, you have a superb chance to assess, reassess, and become clearer about what you want in the name of love or the direction one special connection is heading. Use this time-out period to consolidate your love life in the knowledge that you're doing so in much less unpredictable and volatile conditions!
