Synopsis:

The daily grind for the cops of the Police Department's Juvenile Protection Unit - taking in child molesters, busting underage pickpockets and chewing over relationship issues at lunch; interrogating abusive parents, taking statements from children, confronting the excesses of teen sexuality, enjoying solidarity with colleagues and laughing uncontrollably at the most unthinkable moments. Knowing the worst exists and living with it.

.
How do these cops balance their private lives and the reality they confront every working day?
Fred, the group's hypersensitive wild card, is going to have a hard time facing the scrutiny of Melissa, a photographer on a Ministry of the Interior assignment to document the unit.

Weekly LoveCast® "Sun in Gemini offers some intellectual energy, which energizes flirting, discussions and heartfelt talks"

Your Love Horoscope May 23rd to 29th

This week in your love horoscope, Monday’s ultra-sensual Mercury-Venus-Mars conjunction in Taurus sets the stage for enjoying all things physical (and instinctual!) throughout the week. To keep things balanced, Sun in Gemini offers some intellectual energy, which energizes flirting, discussions and heartfelt talks. Best days for socializing: Any day except Tuesday (muddled) and Friday (combative).

Aries Love Horoscope

Your values and priorities play an important role in romance this week. A natural environment or outdoor activity will make passion sizzle. The afflicted Moon in your sign on Friday can make you irritated easily, but you’ll be back on track (and irresistible!) on Saturday. Go slowly to make love bloom on Sunday.

Taurus Love Horoscope

This is your week for romance! The merger of Venus (love), Mars (passion) and Mercury (brainpower) in your sign is sure to intensify your magnetism and ability to attract someone special. If you’re paired, enjoying some sensual delights together will strengthen your bond. Monday and Sunday are particularly favorable times for a sexy tryst.

Gemini Love Horoscope

Gemini, with all the energy bubbling within your psyche this week, you may feel like a volcano waiting to erupt. Accessing all that passion (and other emotions) may require some quiet time alone with your sweetie, especially on Monday and Sunday. Feelings are chaotic on Tuesday and Friday. A group activity will likely bring romance on Saturday!

Cancer Love Horoscope

Socializing energizes and motivates you this week. Look for romance and other opportunities during group endeavors and friendly gatherings, especially with people who are brainy, artistic or athletic. You may overreact to a stressful situation (with someone at work?) on Friday. A public event can bring romance on Saturday, while friends bring joy on Sunday.

Leo Love Horoscope

Your sense of style propels you in the limelight while socializing this week. Still, it’s being genuine, not flashy, that will inspire love, especially on Monday and Sunday. Look for a potential paramour while at a concert, film or club. Distance or travel can hinder romance on Friday. Being adventurous fires up passion on Saturday!

Virgo Love Horoscope

The future of your love life will be revealed this week, if you pay attention to your inner voice. An exotic locale or romantic getaway will inspire/bring romance, especially on Monday, Wednesday or Sunday. A misunderstanding with your partner is likely on Tuesday, however. Intimacy may feel blocked on Friday, but passion escalates this weekend!

Libra Love Horoscope

Your way with words makes you a magnet for admirers this week, so show off your flirting skills. Creating a sensual ambiance in the boudoir – think silky sheets and soft music – will take passion over the top. Your partner or close friend may get on your nerves on Friday, but a twosome tryst brings delight on Saturday!

Scorpio Love Horoscope

Now is the time to fire up the romance in your relationship. If you’re solo, getting out and meeting new people will likely manifest a contender(s) for your heart. Playfulness inspires romance on Wednesday and Thursday, when romance can be found at a party or show. Commitment is in the air on Monday and Sunday.

Sagittarius Love Horoscope

Focusing on small but heartfelt gestures will inspire love this week. If you’re paired, getting the details right in what makes your partner happy will energize your relationship. Problematic times for relating are Tuesday (mixed messages) and Friday (combativeness or commitment pressure), but a romantic interlude is nearly assured on Saturday!

Capricorn Love Horoscope

As Taurus influences continue to fire up your romance sector, it’s time to get clear about the kind of relationship you want (which will help you manifest someone special!). If you’re paired, getting creative between the sheets will intensify pleasure, especially on Monday or Sunday. Just watch out for a power issue on Friday.

Aquarius Love Horoscope

Love may seem overly grounded this week, but if you can get out of your head and into your instincts, while listening to your heart, you’ll enjoy the romance that comes your way. A cozy date at your home can bring satisfaction on Monday or Sunday. Watch rash words on Friday. Your humor ignites passion on Saturday!

Pisces Love Horoscope

Your brainpower is in the spotlight this week. Sharing your passion through your words is sure to bring romance your way, especially on Monday or Sunday. Your allure draws admirers on Tuesday, but be sure your intentions are clear. Your magnetism soars on Wednesday and Thursday. A daring approach to expressing your feelings inspires passion on Saturday!
