Mercury turns retrograde in that part of your solar chart that pertains to your relationship. This is bound to introduce all kinds of complications, misunderstandings and crazy twists into your love life over the next three weeks. Now you can approach this in one of two ways. Either you can react to each and every wrinkle and turn yourself into a nervous wreck or you can adopt a more relaxed and humorous attitude. Why not try the latter? That way you and your lover can share a good laugh together when Mercury comes out of retrograde on Oct. 9.

Secret crushes are never easy because they're so one-sided. If you don't want yours to wither on the vine, then you need to let him know how you feel. A lot of times people try to do this by confessing their feelings which then makes the whole experience dismal and embarrassing. You might consider the more conversational rather than confrontational route. In other words try courting him. Invite him out to do something fun and engaging — something he would probably never do on his own. This is bound to pique his interest and catch his fancy.

It's OK if he's a "free spirit," dreamy gorgeous and has no job prospects whatsoever. It's why you're attracted to him. This isn't the time to ask if there's a future together.

Keep a tight grip on your persecution complex this week. The Jupiter/Neptune opposition will bring out all of your "me against the world" tendencies and you'll likely feel used and abused. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. If anything the stars are pointing to a time when people are praising your talents and efforts like never before. The problem, however, lies with your backwards paranoia. It's time to lose that fear and to commit yourself to real trust. If you don't, then you will always be looking over your shoulder while shooting yourself in the foot.
