Your love life continues to heat up when Mercury conjoins the sun on Aug. 8. This is the day when you will say all of those things you swore you'd never say — or he will. It's true that both of you are caught up in the excitement and passion of being together. You're not thinking too much about the consequences and that's all right. Nobody ever thinks about the consequences when there's this much fiery energy coursing through your horoscope. Live in the moment and enjoy the thrill ride. You can always work out the details later.

On Aug. 9, the sun will square Saturn in Scorpio. This will introduce the final straw in what has been an overly complicated process. Whether it's the straw that breaks the camel's back depends on how much you've grown these past two years. If you're still licking the wounds from a previous breakup, then things probably won't turn out well. You won't have the kind of trust to endure what you'll be asked to endure. But if you've learned to move on, then this will be the catharsis that brings the healing you've been seeking.

It looks like you'll really put your foot in it on Aug. 8. It's not the first time you've said something that was better left unsaid. You have a reputation for that sort of thing. However, this may be the first time when you experience firsthand the kind of pain that speaking your mind can do. Will it signal the end of a relationship or friendship? It could, given the intensity of the Mercury/Saturn square. One thing's for certain — you'll think twice about doing this again. And this will make you a more caring person in the future.

You can expect things to get intense in your love life on Aug. 8 when your paramour makes a Jekyll and Hyde switch from cool and aloof to angry and in your face. Where did this come from? Sometimes we don't really know who we're dealing with until we get up close and personal and now that you can see him — warts and all — you may find yourself having second thoughts about the two of you. Just remember that everyone comes with blemishes these days. That's what relationships are all about. It's also why God created skin cleansers.

You and your lover have been at odds for weeks. You want one thing for your relationship and he wants something different. Or at least that's what he says if you can get him to open up and talk about things. It's frustrating and you've been close to breaking up numerous times. A cazimi Mercury/Uranus trine on Aug 8 shows that developments in a far corner of his life will act as a catalyst. This is the wake-up call you've been praying for. You'll see a complete about-face in his attitude toward you — and for the better.

Hopefully you haven't been seeing somebody on the side because things could take a nasty turn. The moon occults Saturn on Aug. 4 followed by an incendiary square on Aug. 8. This indicates that he's pretty obsessed with you and he's not going to want to let you go — even if you two agreed that this was a friends with benefits thing. This could force you to turn to your husband or boyfriend for help. If you haven't been cheating, then the worst you have to worry about is some guy crushing on you. Let him down gently.

Don't be surprised if he proposes to you after the first date. Guys tend to jump the gun when the sun trines Uranus in that part of your solar chart that pertains to partnerships. You'll laugh it off of course, but there's a part of you that wonders if he might not be serious. Uranus is a planetary energy that introduces things that are ahead of their time. If that's the case, then that means there's hope for the future. He's not going anywhere and you two have plenty of time to get to know each other.

You won't feel very romantic when the moon occults Saturn on Aug. 4. This is bound to bring up all of your insecurities. Most people would turn to their partner for comfort and reassurance, but Saturn will make you withdraw. And of course the more you withdraw, the more your partner will want to know what's wrong. Tell him it's a mood thing (which it is) and that you need some emotional space. There are times when we all need to retreat into ourselves and this is one of them. You'll be back to normal by next week.

There's nothing wrong with passion as long as you're smart about it. Go ahead and date the bad boy, check out the guy from the wrong side of the tracks and indulge in an affair if that's what you need to spice up your life. But don't take any unnecessary risks. Unnecessary risks range from getting emotionally involved with someone you know is no good to letting your love life affect your job to walking out on your marriage. You don't want to do any of these when the sun squares Saturn. You would only regret it.

Your partner may surprise you with some new moves this week. At first you may giggle in disbelief — or wonder if he found your dog-eared copy of Fifty Shades of Grey — but move past it because he's reaching out. Lovemaking — like sitting down to a lovely meal or enjoying a good night's sleep — is getting squeezed out by the encroaching demands of our hectic schedules. If we don't fight to preserve it, then it will be overrun altogether. Embrace the spirit of experimentation. You may find that what starts out as a lark winds up opening new doors.

You're bound to be overly emotional this week. That's because of the approaching full moon in Aquarius on Aug. 10. This is a very sensitive time because you will feel like your soft emotional underbelly is on display for everyone to see. Actually the opposite is true. You've done such an expert job of covering up your vulnerabilities, needs and insecurities that everyone assumes that you're doing fine. You might want to clue them in on what's going on with you on Aug. 4 and 9. You could use a friend and a shoulder to lean on.

Pisces people are so much more fascinating than they think. Maybe it's the way your mind works, your soulful perspective on life or the fact that you have one of the richest imaginations in the world. This is why so many people fall in love with you. You just have this unique way of being. Trust in who you are. You don't have to work so hard to keep his interest because he's already hooked. He likes you for who you are which means that it's probably time for you to like you for who you are too.
