Meeting his family and friends is always tricky. You want to make a good impression and win them on over to your side, but you also don't want to feel beholden. It's important to remember that a feeling of ownership goes both ways. They're just as possessive and protective of their relationship with him as you are of yours. The moon/Mars trine this week shows that this is a good time to get to know the important people in his life. The mixing and blending of watery energy shows that you share similar interests, humor and values.

It's best to take things at face value now. You know that there's more going on with him than he says, but it would be wise to steer clear of that. We live in an impatient society when it comes to information. We expect people to tweet about every little detail, but where — and when — do we allow them their privacy to withdraw into themselves so that they can process things emotionally and reflect? Show him how much you care by giving him his space. This quiet reassurance will invite him to divulge all when he feels ready.

The Mercury/Neptune opposition on Aug. 18 will bring out all of your "where is this relationship going?" anxieties. You'll want to know what he thinks, if he's serious about your future and when he's going to put a ring on it. Do yourself a favor. Grab the psychic remote and fast forward. This isn't the right time for this kind of discussion — especially since you don't even have a clear idea of what you want. Relationships have a life of their own despite our attempts to label them. Yours is doing a lot better than most people's.

You're not the person you used to be. You've grown in ways that make it difficult to continue with your familiar role. You may feel like your friends don't get it, but they do. They know you've changed. It's just that it's not in their best interests to acknowledge it. Conventional wisdom says that if they ignore it long enough, then you'll revert to who you were before. Over the next few weeks you'll make new friends who are drawn to who you are now. This will bring a collision of worlds, but that's a horoscope for another time.

You can't do the relating for both sides. It's the biggest problem Leos face. You believe that if you can make your partner feel loved, special and like the center of your universe, then everything will be great. You assume that what's good for you is good for your partner and that can be problematic — especially when your partner wants to travel a different life path than the one you think he should travel. The next two weeks are all about getting back on the same page. Try to listen to him with an open mind and heart.

You don't take in emotional strays. You've been fooled before by their plaintive looks and involved histories. They create the impression that they're looking for a loving home, but no sooner do you take them in than they're scratching at the door wanting to be let out. And once out, they disappear. It's understandable that you'd be skeptical about this new love interest that appears on your back step this week; however, the Mercury/Neptune opposition shows you softening your hard stance. Yes, history may be repeating itself, but then again, you could be learning something new from it.

This week you learn things about him that you suspected were true, but hoped that they weren't. Libras are often portrayed as being so idealistic that the mere whiff of reality is enough to make their air castles crumble to the ground. That might be true of male Libras, but female Libras are different. You tend to be much more shrewd, savvy and resourceful. It's never pleasant having your illusions debunked, but that happens in every relationship. What will be nice to discover is that he's bigger than his mistakes and not afraid to cop to them.

It looks like you're turning a corner in your relationship and can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. So why are you disappointed? It's hard being born under a sign where life doesn't come easy. Accustomed to trudging through the mire, the idea of getting what you want seems foreign. Your love life doesn't have to be a source of angst. It can even be an upper given a chance. Let yourself experience the heaven you don't know instead of the hell you do. At least it makes for a nice change of pace.

You pride yourself on being an adventurous free spirit. You project a devil-may-care aura that men find exciting. This is fine when things are on an upswing, but it's hard to maintain when luck isn't on your side. Thankfully Jupiter in Leo shows that life is getting easier, but you're not out of the woods yet. This would be a good week to share your worries and anxieties. You won't scare away a potential paramour. If anything you'll make his day. Contrary to popular belief there are still some men out there who like to feel needed.

Flirting is fun. That's what makes showing up at Starbucks every day at the same time when you know that he'll be there or manufacturing excuses to bump into him at work so delicious. You both know what's going on and you're both thrilled. But being a Capricorn means that you're bound to feel guilty. This could lead you to stop cold, to confess all to your boyfriend, or to tell this guy whose name you still don't know that you're already spoken for. Give yourself a break. Exchanging naughty glances and double-entendres never hurt anyone.

On Aug. 21 you discover that behind the bluster lies an insecure and needy child. You suspected this all along, but it's nice to have proof. Now most people would use this information to gain the upper hand and bring him to heel. You, however, will find this endearing. You don't like big egos. The chest-thumping and endless recitation of names and accomplishments can get old quick. However, introduce a little fallibility and some flies in the ointment and you're hooked. You like people who are real. It comes with being born under the humanitarian sign of the zodiac.

Be nice to men. You may see yourself as a victim — someone who's been misled and deceived so many times that you feel like now it's your turn to show guys what it's like. But what does that have to do with the fellow you're seeing? Are you really going to make him pay for what was done to you in the past? And even if you did, then what makes you any different from them? Tear up the scorecard and give romance a chance. True love will always be the best remedy for what ails.
