You're tired of running to your lover's emotional rescue. You've been there for him 24/7 and are wondering what has he done for you lately? That's a good question, but before you answer it you should know that you aren't the easiest person in the world to impress. You're so self-sufficient and independent that it doesn't allow your lover to show off what he can do. Try to come up with something that he can do for you that would really be special on Aug. 27. It gives him a chance to step up to the plate.

"Soul mate" is a tricky term because technically speaking it's not a one-on-one exclusive. Souls transcend bodies which means that your soul could potentially "mate" with just about anyone on the planet. It's our bodies that are bound to each other through attraction, wants and needs – not our souls. Now this may sound like metaphysical hair-splitting, but it might explain why you keep searching without really finding. Try being a bit less out-of-body in your approach and more down to earth on Aug. 26 when the sun conjoins Jupiter in the zodiac sign of Virgo. You may attain what you're looking for.

You're not used to someone being there for you so you'll be delighted to discover that the guy you're seeing is Johnny-on-the-spot. Maybe it's a tweet every hour on the hour asking how you're doing or an offer to get together after you've finished with a particularly grueling meeting. In any case this will lead you to re-evaluate your feelings and maybe give him more of a chance to win your heart. As a Gemini, you're accustomed to having all the answers so it makes for a nice change of pace to be with someone who can surprise you.

Your heart and your head couldn't be more divided which is why you don't want to push yourself now. You're being pressured into making some larger-than-life decisions. Unfortunately you don't really have anything substantive to counterbalance all of this with other than some vague feeling that you might be better off somewhere else. Whether this is a true pull or wishful thinking is hard to tell. In any case you should wait until after the Full Moon on Aug. 29 when it looks like your heart and your head will be back on the same page again.

Single Leos may be wondering if being on your own isn't such a bad idea. Your money is yours, your bed is yours, and your future is yours. What do you need a man for — other than the obvious? Well, it looks as if the universe will be taking you up on this "dare" over the next few weeks by introducing somebody into your life who is completely unlike the type of fellow you ever envisioned yourself being with. In fact, he may be so totally different as to be unrecognizable. And that's precisely the point.

A chance meeting on Aug. 26 feels intensely profound. This could be someone who's a friend of a friend or a customer that you get to chatting with. In any case, you know that there's a connection and that you both feel it. But no sooner do you exchange names and numbers than he will be whisked away by pressing business or a not-too-pleased girlfriend. Nevertheless there is a bond and you will see him again after the Jupiter/Neptune opposition on Sept. 16. This marks the start of a romantic adventure that will totally turn your life around.

The next two weeks are pivotal because the planets are pushing you to be the person you were always meant to be. This doesn't mean you have to do anything radical with your life. In fact all the radical changes have already been made. What's going on is the culmination of a personal growth process that began months ago. You know you are always strongest in a pair and if you're in a relationship now then that means this person is a keeper. If not? Then you need to jettison this also-ran in order to find your true match.

A dramatic upset in your lover's life throws you both for a loop this week. This could pertain to a health matter, his job performance or negligent bookkeeping. You will want to muzzle your own reactions especially since you warned him to be more vigilant and your warnings went unheeded. But are you really going to tell him "I told you so?" Yes. You're a Scorpio. In any case you need to know that he knows that he screwed up and he'll want to do better. Help him to salvage the situation by being supportive and encouraging.

It feels like you can't do anything right these days and guess what? You can't. Now this doesn't mean that you're the one making mistakes. What it means is that a loved one doesn't know what he wants which is why he keeps moving the goal posts by changing the rules and expectations. Do yourself a favor and stop trying to make things better. The sooner you stop, the sooner he will realize that he is like a rudderless ship going in circles. Then (and only then) can you start to have a conversation about plotting a future course.
