Japanese term or phrase: 見る目が厳しくなります。

What does this term mean? This is from a horoscope describing someone's love prospects for the year. Here is the entire section:

====================
2006年の恋愛運は弱い刺激が多いとき。大恋愛には縁がありませんが、さまざまなﾀｲﾌﾟの異性との縁が生じそうです。すでに恋人のいる人は、小さな浮気心もめばえてしまいそうです。
1/1〜2/19は、恋人がいる人は誠実なおつきあいができるとき。ふたりの気持ちを素直に出し合える環境づくりを演出するとよいでしょう。
5/30〜6/25は、ほのぼのとした気持ちでﾃﾞｰﾄができそうです。
7/24〜9/8は、情熱は高まっていますが、異性を見る目が厳しくなります。
12/12〜12/31は、恋愛したい気持ちは高まるものの、お目当ての相手とは上下関係がつきまとったり、何かの障害がありそうです。
====================

Thanks for the help.
