The week ahead looks what the Chinese might call interesting.

If you're in love and things are a bit tough, then hang in there.

Energetically, it's a potentially tough time ahead – but it's nothing we can't handle. And besides, forewarned is forearmed, so please consider this your forewarning!

Coming up on July 14 is a clash between the love planet Venus and the mean planet Saturn. When they get together, it can feel like the milk of human kindness has dried up.

But guess what? Everything happens for a reason (truly, it does) and there is a reason why the Love Gods and Goddesses are sending us these challenges.

Perhaps it's time for you to face facts about someone you have been involved with? Or perhaps it's time for you to be a bit nicer to your partner (or ex)? Or perhaps you're saying goodbye to someone you'd rather have around?

Or maybe you are being tested to show your commitment or test your patience or any number of wild and wacky scenarios.

Basically, life is about us evolving.

We come here as babies and we try to become better people as life unfolds.

Something like this week where Venus is clashing with Saturn gives us a chance to overcome obstacles, to surmount challenges and to prove what we're made of.

The Star signs which will feel this the most are (in no particular order): Librans, Taureans, Capricorns, Leos, Aquarians and Scorpios. So more than half of us!

Plus, if you have one of those signs as your Rising sign, that goes double. (If you don't know your Rising Sign, you can find out here).

One thing to remember is this: when Saturn is involved, it's always old news.

In other words, whatsoever is happening for you right now is something you almost certainly knew was coming. It's reality time and the moment to face the music.

Whatever happens now, will make you stronger.

A final point, note that Venus is also about cash, so if you have money worries now, the best thing you can do to deal with them is to embrace Saturn; that means be very realistic, do some long-term planning and accept that a slow and steady course is actually usually the fastest way to riches!
