It's been a long time since a fellow got your attention and you can rest assured that it will be undivided when Mars trines Uranus on Sept. 8. But it will be more than his tight tuckus or devil-may-care air that catches your fancy. It's clear that he's as much of a rugged individualist as you are — maybe even more so. Unfortunately Uranus is famous for controversy so there will be something about this potential pairing that's bound to be dangerous. But then again, that's probably the very thing that piqued your interest in the first place.

This week your lover or spouse will finally get that big break he's been working for. For the past couple of years he's been frustrated in his attempts to move forward in his career. It seemed like he couldn't win for trying and the fact of the matter is — he was right. A crosscurrent of planets was hindering his progress. Thankfully a shift in the cosmic alignment shows that he will finally receive the recognition, support and patronage that he deserves. This will do a lot to boost his confidence — and to improve life at home.

Choosing between freedom and commitment is kind of like being forced to choose between two lovers. One inevitably has something that the other lacks and it's because the differences are so irreconcilable that you find yourself making up and unmaking up your mind. What does freedom mean to you? For some people it's a choice, and for others, it's a prerogative. Geminis always like to have an exit strategy but sometimes that gets in the way of real intimacy. If you want to be close, then you need to do more than dip a toe in the pool.

It isn't easy talking to your lover. He's so defensive and stubborn about it. He's like a sinking ship that fires its guns at you every time you try to help out. How do you deal with someone like that? Try asking him what would he do if he were in your shoes. How would he communicate problems he has with the relationship? Sometimes people see better when you invite them to take a peek through your end of the telescope. He doesn't have to agree with you, but it helps for him to see where you're coming from.

Women born under Leo know how to treat a man. You understand they need to come first, that they must have man cave time, and they don't like drama — even if they're the cause for it most of the time. Now does all of this happen magically on its own? Hardly. You have to do a lot self-editing, silent counting to 10, and ego stroking to keep the peace. Nevertheless you'll see efforts pay off this week when he accomplishes something spectacular thanks to you. Proof again that he wouldn't be half the man he is without you.

You need to cool it with the control freakiness. The reason why people get together in the first place is to augment each other; it's not to become clones. He's going to have his own way of doing things, his own temperament and his own perspective on matters. Sometimes you'll agree with it and sometimes you won't. But you're never going to appreciate him for who he is if you keep trying to fix him. Take advantage of the solar eclipse in your sign to toss the expectations and let yourself live and let live. You'll be glad you did.

You need to speak candidly about what matters most to you. You're extremely articulate when it comes to helping others to speak their minds and now it's time for you to speak yours. This will do a lot to reassure your partner and even invite him to open up about what's been bothering him. Chances are you'll discover that these are worries and concerns that he tried to keep hidden from you for fear of burdening you. What you'll find is that getting him to unburden himself will make the emotional load much lighter for him and you.

It's hard being a Scorpio. On one hand you can totally sympathize with where people are coming from. It isn't hard to read the backstory and to understand what drives them to do the things they do. However, you also have a sixth sense for hidden agendas and you can tell when someone's trying to pull the wool over your eyes or is using a woeful tale to make inroads. On Sept. 9 you'll have to choose between empathy and suspicion. It's better to play it safe and to go with questions rather than assumptions when Mercury squares Pluto.

You were born under a zodiac sign that falls in love with long distances — or at least people who hail from them. Loved ones and friends often chide you for this. They think that you do this because you're a secret commitment-phobe. The truth is you've always been intrigued by exotic lands and cultures and foreign accents have always been a turn-on. In any case it does look like you're going to fall (and fall hard) for someone who lives out of state or country. And this time you will be willing to relocate in order to be together.

You're not having an easy time of it. You're oversensitive to rejection and feel like personal insecurities are on display for the world to see. But what you're experiencing on the inside doesn't come across on the outside. If anything, people see you as in control. It's why you want to curb those wild impulses to walk out on someone before you think he'll walk out on you. Fears tend to distort reality when Mercury forms a square to Pluto. This square will happen two more times between now and Oct. 22. This gives you plenty of time to explore what's amiss.

Your partner or spouse is going through a particularly self-absorbed phase right now. Intellectually you understand where he's coming from. He's under a lot of pressure to perform in his career and he's having trouble finding his way out of that corner he painted himself into. However, emotionally speaking, you feel like he just isn't there for you. So why don't you say something? It's not a crime to ask for more love and affection. In fact he may even see your request as being the most pleasant diversion imaginable. It's just the thing to get him out of himself.

As a Pisces, you tend to swim around the issue of commitment. Either you find paramours who live outside your zip code or you get gun shy when it comes to pledging yourself. Well, events this week will make it perfectly clear that the winds of change are now blowing at hurricane force and that you can no longer afford to make excuses or to hem and haw. If you want to keep him then you must be prepared to make some pretty big life changes. If not? Then it's time to cut ties and to let him go.
