Expect troubles with men when Mars squares Uranus in the sky. You could be locking horns with your husband, flying to the rescue of your boyfriend or inflating the air mattress for your brother to sleep on until he settles his differences with his girlfriend. The Mars/Uranus square could also indicate you taking your father's side in a family dispute. You may not agree with his position but you will defend his right to take it. It's important that he be heard and it looks like the stars have decided that you are the best person for the job.

Watch it. Ruling planet Venus turns retrograde on July 25 and this could mess up your love life. Venus rules over the laws of attraction in astrology. Normally she attracts in a like-meets-like sort of way, but when she's retrograde then she'll attract the most unlikely matches. You could capture the interest of a billionaire computer nerd, a guy who's on the fence sexually or that bad boy you know is no good. Whether this is a disaster or the romantic adventure of a lifetime remains to be seen. You have until Sept. 6 to find out.

You're not big on intimacy. Loyalty and friendship? Yes. Intimacy? Not so much. Part of this stems from the fact that you have a million things going on at once. There are emails to send, tweets to tweet and Instagrams to share. The other reason is that it's hard to stay put. You're always zipping off to take care of business somewhere else. Venus retrograde on July 25 effectively pulls the plug on your social schedule for the next few weeks. You won't like it at first but it's your chance to get reacquainted with your nearest and dearest.

You always have to be careful about the way you interpret things when Mercury forms a trine to retrograde Saturn because what starts out as an innocent misunderstanding at the beginning of the day could weave itself into a web of suspicions, doubts and worst-case scenarios by day's end. The combination of vivid imagination and fear of rejection can set you up for a major downward spiral on July 21. That's why it's so important for you to communicate with your lover or spouse. Chances are you'll discover that apprehensions were much ado about nothing on July 23.

Expect a surprise reappearance on Thursday from a certain love interest who's been MIA for weeks. Your reaction will be mixed. You've missed him, but you also know that you can't go back to the on-again, off-again state of affairs. Your heart can't take it! Thankfully the planets will be putting you through your paces for the next few weeks as you race to keep up with your numerous social obligations. This will communicate to him that he's no longer the center of your universe. From now on it's up to him to keep up with you — not vice-versa.

Now that you've talked yourself into a relationship, why are you starting to talk yourself out of it? Virgos have a reputation for picking things apart — especially if things are running smoothly. But to be fair, there's more going on than just a bad case of cold feet. Venus turning retrograde in your zodiac sign shows that you aren't ready to make that big commitment. Maybe you still have more emotional healing to do or maybe you're still holding out for something better. In any case you don't have to force yourself to make a decision now.

Expect to be thrown for a loop when Mars forms a square to Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, on July 25. Now your first reaction may be: What's new? You've been dealing with all kinds of love craziness since the end of June. But the word "revolution" doesn't always have to mean upset. It can also describe the full turn of a wheel — like in what goes around once comes around again. Does this mean the return of someone from your past or a chance to patch things up with a penitent ex? It's highly probable.

Beware girlfriends in need. The same goes for sisters, neighbors and in-laws. You have some potentially treacherous planetary aspects over the next few weeks and you don't want to take the fall for somebody else's folly. Maybe this person wants you to tell her husband that she was at your house (when she wasn't) or she might come to you for a loan on top of the one that you already gave her. Just say no. This way you will avoid any fiascos where your good intentions might pave the way to a hellish situation.

It's tempting to dump all of your relationship problems on to your partner, but don't. Not only is it unfair, but it would also be dishonest. If you want to enter into an open dialogue about your future, then you need to be more forthcoming about what you want and what you're prepared to do to make your relationship work. As you map out your future, stick to your side of the fence. Sagittarians have a tendency to lecture people about what they should do differently while turning a blind eye to their own shortcomings.

You will have a chance to give back to a lover or spouse this week. It wasn't so long ago that you were the one feeling overwhelmed by life (physically and/or metaphysically) and this person was there for you. The Mars/Uranus square on July 25 shows that the tables have turned and he will be turning to you for advice, support and love. Thankfully you were born under an earth sign and nobody does Rock of Gibraltar like a Capricorn. Rest assured that things won't be fraught for long. You should see skies clear by Aug. 1.

It's natural to feel down in the dumps when the sun is traveling through your opposite zodiac sign Leo (July 22 to Aug. 22). Your vital energies are always lowest six months away from your birthday, so be good to yourself. Take it easy, moderate your pace, and don't spend too much time in front of the bathroom mirror because you are predisposed to find flaws everywhere. The plus side to all of this is that you can count on your boyfriend or spouse for reassurance. He won't let you down and he loves to feel needed.

It isn't easy talking about money with a loved one. It's almost as difficult as talking about sex (maybe even more so). Nevertheless the Mars/Uranus square on Saturday shows that tensions are reaching the breaking point and you need to clear the air. It's hard to tell which one of you is profligate, controlling, cheap or buried under debt. In any case meeting with a financial advisor wouldn't be the worst idea because it would be a shame for your relationship to unravel because of this. Remember that at the end of the day it's only math.
