You knew it was going to happen. You knew that as soon as you started seeing someone new that your ex would resurface looking for a second chance. A lot of women would love to have this kind of problem, but not you. You can only be true to one person at a time. Perhaps the best solution is to ask for some time off. Let's face it — you're never going to be able to make a commitment to anyone new until you know for certain that things between you and an old flame are totally done.

You always told that guy who jilted you that he was making a mistake — and this week you'll see it for yourself. But don't expect to savor the sweet taste of triumph. He looks miserable — so miserable in fact that you'll want to duck down the grocery store aisle or cross the street just to avoid running into him. It will be a telling moment. It will also be a cathartic one because you can finally let go of the pain he caused you. It's hard to feel hurt by someone who is clearly hurting more than you these days.

You're not the obsessive type. That's what happens to Scorpios and Virgos with faulty wiring. Usually you're pretty easygoing and you'll even avoid guys that look like they're too complicated. This is why it may come as a shock to realize that the enmity you feel toward a certain fellow may actually be sexual in nature. Think about it. You challenge everything he does, you constantly want to “expose” him, and you won't leave him alone. Reflect on this when Mercury sextiles Neptune on Dec. 20. Feelings that are repressed to you may be on full view to others.

It's true that you're being oversensitive these days, but there's also a lot going on with you emotionally. Is it too much to ask people to be kinder and gentler with the way that they handle you? Well, you can ask but don't expect to receive. The sun enters the wintry sign of Capricorn on Dec. 21 and this signals a time when people are more likely to be Scrooge than Tiny Tim when exhibiting generosity of spirit. You're better off keeping expectations low through Jan. 3. Afterwards they will awake to see the error of their ways.

A sensational Mars/Uranus sextile on Dec. 20 brings excitement and pizazz to your holiday season. At first you might be thrown off balance by a certain someone's sudden show of interest. He's been so distant and aloof lately that you felt like you had fallen off his radar. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. If anything he'll be pouring out his heart and soul to you. So can you trust it? Yes. Usually Mars in Aquarius runs hot and cold but its mutual reception to Uranus confers staying power. Snatch this guy up while you can.

This is a good time to have a sit down talk about the future of your relationship. A cooperative sextile between Mercury and Neptune on Dec. 20 shows that your lover or spouse is in the right frame of mind to discuss the pluses and minuses. There will be no finger pointing, guilt-tripping or emotional strings being pulled. Uncomfortable topics will be discussed in a way that respects both parties. Don't expect any final answers because your relationship is a work in progress. Nevertheless you'll feel encouraged by the dismantling of walls and the rebuilding of bridges.

Usually you're the one who shies away from making a commitment so it will be a surprise to hear yourself say "yes" on Dec. 20. Mars in Libra for the first seven months of this year really did work its magic. It got you to stop second-guessing your thoughts and feelings. It emboldened you to go after the things you want (instead of waiting for them to come to you) and it pushed you out of your comfort zone. Love is like the lottery. It doesn't reward fence sitters. You've got to be in it to win.

Gloomy Pluto will try to hang a Do Not Disturb sign over your head this week, but Venus in Capricorn won't be having any of it. Even if you're feeling miserable, Venus will make sure you have plenty of company. And that's Venus's charm. Named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, Venus reminds us that no man or woman is an island. It doesn't matter how many slings and arrows of outrageous fortune you endure, retreating into a dark corner to lick your emotional wounds isn't the answer whereas getting out and about this holiday season is!

Your excitement and passion is infectious. So much so that you can wind up doing the gushing for both sides in a relationship. What can happen is that the other person will play along with what you want because he doesn't want to disappoint you by voicing what he really thinks and feels. This weekend would be a good time to check in to make sure that you and he are speaking the same language. And make a point of truly listening to him without interrupting. You don't want anything to get lost in translation.

It isn't easy standing by loved ones when they veer off course or go wildly spinning in unexpected directions. It's been a challenge holding center, but if 2014 taught you anything it was to give people their time and space to work things out for themselves. What you've gotten in return is gratitude, loyalty and even praise. It's a good thing too because things would have turned out differently if you had had those conversations you were tempted to have. Thank heavens you held back when you did. Otherwise the year wouldn't be ending on such a positive note.

It isn't easy talking about faults and foibles, but that's what being human is all about. You know this intellectually. Whether it translates to the heart is another matter. Over the past few months you've learned to open up about what's going on with you and instead of putting people off, it's actually drawn them closer. There's something to be said for the camaraderie that springs up among those who try to do the right thing. This kind of candor is an enormous first step. You'll see your friendships and associations transformed for the better in 2015.

It will also show you how big changes become infinitely manageable when you approach them in stages. Plus knowing that there's somebody holding your hand every step of the way also helps.
