Aries women have a dirty secret. You love people who don't love you. This stokes your passion, inspires you to make sacrifices and motivates you to wade through hell and high water to win his heart. But what happens when he finally says he's into you too? That's when you turn tail and run in the opposite direction. This could happen on Aug. 27 when Venus squares Mars in Scorpio. If you want to break this pattern, then you need to stay put and come to grips with the fact that someone might actually love you back.

This is a rough week for love. It's pretty clear that that guy you're seeing is messed up. He's struggling with some intensely personal issues that pertain to self-worth, money and authority figures in general. It's the reason why he's loving one moment and then closed off the next. Everyone comes with history, but sometimes people carry more psychological baggage than they can handle. It's great if you want to be friends, but that's all he can be right now. If your hope is to be romantic, then you're better off moving on to someone else who's available.

OK. He's not available now, but that doesn't mean he'll stay that way. Geminis don't set out to be home wreckers. You take relationships very seriously. You may be a skeptic on the outside, but you're a closet romantic on the inside. You can also tell when a relationship is in trouble. You know you're a better match for that fellow you like than his current girlfriend, but you're not going to fight her for him. Be a "friend" — but keep yourself at arm's length. This will inspire him to make the changes that he's been longing to make.

You might as well face it: You're just not that into him. It's hard to admit because he really does fit the criteria. He's loyal, loving and would probably make a great dad or stepdad. What it gets down to unfortunately is chemistry; that ineffable, mysterious and hard to describe thing that decides if you two click or not. And right now it doesn't look like you'll be clicking any time soon. The practical side of you says that you'll be sorry for letting him go, but the selfless part of you knows that it's for the best.

If he doesn't feel the same way as you then why does he keep calling? Obviously there's more going on but do you really want to work so hard? Emotionally wounded guys like to use their damaged histories to reel women in and every time you get close he'll keep closing the door again. It's a cat-and-mouse game. If that sounds romantic then proceed. But if it sounds tedious, then cut ties because there's another guy slated to show up in late November. This future guy will have no problems making his true feelings for you known.

It will be nice to be exempt from all the drama this week. Auspicious aspects involving your ruling planet Mercury show that you will be untouched by the emotional bombshells that will be going off in everyone else's lives. This is wonderful because you've finally reached a place in life where everything feels just right and you want to enjoy that peace for as long as you can. That said you should still expect to be on call for distraught siblings, traumatized friends and weepy colleagues from Aug. 25 through 27. They'll need a shoulder to cry on.

It's never wise to play with people's feelings when Venus is squaring Saturn and Mars on Aug. 26 and 27. You could find yourself out of your emotional depth very quickly and without a lifeline in reach. What you want to do is be sincere with the guy you care about and honest with the one that you don't. This will be hard because you like to hedge your bets but there comes a time when playing your cards close to your chest sends the wrong signals. You need to lay everything out on the table.

Are you being a hard-ass? It's hard to tell when Mars conjoins Saturn in Scorpio on Aug. 25 because you'll feel like what you're doing is for the right reasons. Yet it's never a good idea when one person takes control of a relationship because your partner or spouse will only resent it. Moreover withholding love or money in order to get your way is a recipe for disaster. Whatever the difficulties you and your other half face you're going to have to find a way to see eye to eye — and that begins with a heart-to-heart.

There are many ways we sabotage ourselves. Maybe it's the temper we can't control, the fantasies we choose over reality or the self-criticisms we unleash that undermine our confidence. For you there's a peculiar need to attach yourself to controlling men whom you resent exercising control over you in the first place. It's a bit of a catch-22. In any case you'll see a recurring pattern in your relationships repeat itself on Aug. 31. You may not like what you see but then this is your chance to make different choices and to rewrite the life script.

You've always wanted to appear on the arm of someone successful and now that you do you may feel like you're being overlooked. Well, this is the downside to going out with a power player. People will naturally gravitate to him and not you. The trick is to not take it personally or to compete for attention. If you're a smart Capricorn, then you have your own career with your own circle of clients and friends and admirers. You also know that he wouldn't be this successful without you. That's something that you should be proud of.

This isn't the best time for love for you. Fierce squares involving Venus and Saturn on Aug. 26 followed by Venus and Mars on Aug. 27 show that there's a lot of passion, but that the logistics for getting together aren't conducive. There is such a thing as finding the right person but at the wrong time and these planetary aspects prove it. So is it a total waste? No. Just because neither of you can act on your feelings now doesn't mean that will always be the case. Stay in touch. The romantic picture improves by November.

A loved one can't make heads or tails of you these days — and truth to tell: neither can you. It's been a long time since you felt this adrift. You know you're on the verge of making some big life changes, but you just can't motivate yourself to act on them. That's OK because nobody will be feeling clear or focused as long as the sun is opposite Neptune. Thankfully this influence lifts on Sept. 5. This is when you'll make the switch from feeling dazed and confused to being awake, alert and ready to get things going.
