Antony: There's beggary in the love that can be reckoned
Means if you can measure love, it's not really love.
Cleopatra: I'll set a bourn how far to be beloved
Means she will set limits on how she is to be loved.
Antony: Then must thou needs find out new heaven, new earth. Means that Cleopatra must invent new measurements for Antony's love.

How about in different words?
Cleo: How much do you love me, exactly?
Ant: Love creates an infinite need in me...
Cleo: I will only be loved so far and not more after that.
Ant: Then you will need a whole new place with more room for me to fill with my love
*** I think of this as a flirtatious way of Cleopatra saying that she has to separate her love from her ruling life.

All good interpretations, but one thing missed. It's a power issue for Cleopatra - shge is not willing to give over all of her power just for the lve of a man, and so she believes she will control not only her feelings, but his, in order to maintain her position - as she must.

Basically Cleo wants to know 'how much' Antony loves her. He tells her that love cannot be measured as an earthly commodity, and that if she requires a measurement like that, she needs to find another world to measure it in since in this one it cannot be measured.

There's no amount of love that can be accounted.
Then I'll determine how much.
Then you must determine infinity.
