Venus forms its third and last trine to Uranus on Sept. 22. It's not every day when Venus moves back and forth over this point in your horoscope — which would explain the on-again, off-again nature of your romantic affections. You said you wanted him, said you wanted something else, and now it looks like you want him again. These things are to be expected when you have Venus going in and out of retrograde but good luck trying to explain that to him. Thank heavens it's not too late to fix the situation and to make matters right.

Putting aside your differences doesn't mean throwing your hands up in the air and yielding the field. It makes perfect sense that you want things to be peaceful on the home front. You were born under the planet Venus and her motto is to make love and not war. However there are certain points of contention that simply won't go away on their own. Continue to look for a way to reach a compromise. This may take until Oct. 9 but what you'll have at the end of all this is a living arrangement you both can live with.

You can't believe the guy you're seeing is cutting you off in mid-sentence, putting himself ahead of the relationship and expecting you to make your schedule work with his. Is this a repeat of what you just went through or are men just built this way? Actually it's simpler than that. What we don't take care of in one relationship tends to follow us into the next one — kind of like a past life. You'll want to nip this in the bud before it gets out of hand. Lay down law and he'll heel. He likes you that much.

Pluto comes out of retrograde on Sept. 24. Don't expect a dramatic change. Your lover won't suddenly understand how he's been a black hole sucking the life out of your relationship for weeks; nor will he see the light or apologize for his behavior. However, you'll notice that he's more solicitous, receptive and even nice. It's a sign of hope and something worth encouraging. People can't always communicate when they're going through a hard time, but you'll soon see that the funk is gone and that you can actually recognize the man you fell in love with.

Attraction and what you attract are two separate things. You have been at the height of your attractive powers for the past three months with Venus moving in and out of Leo. This would have increased your magnetism, charisma and sex appeal. Men would have been competing for your attention and getting pretty territorial about it. But what's the point of all this if the fellow you're truly drawn to is left unmoved? It's time to find out where you two stand on the 27th. Your ego may cringe at the thought, but your heart can take it.

It may feel like you're doing all the work in your relationship these days and you're right: You are. But making him feel guilty about it won't work because you're not making life easy. You want him to contribute more, but then start criticizing him when he does. Backing off will be impossible while Mars is in Virgo (the energy's too angry and in your face) which means you'll have to work out differences through arguments and fights. It's not the easiest way to go but your relationship can take it. Mars will be in Virgo thru Nov. 12.

As a Libra you will bend over backwards to make things work in a relationship. This is often mistaken for self-sacrifice, but in truth once you pledge your heart to someone then that pledge is expected to last forever. It's why you take such a long time to commit and why it takes such a long time for you to leave a situation that isn't working out. Well, you've done everything you could think of to make things simpatico so there should be no regrets when the lunar eclipse on Sept. 27 signals that it's time to go.

You might be surprised to discover that people really do like you. You're always convinced they don't, but the fact of the matter is they do. They may not do what you say, bow to your authority or show you the respect you feel you deserve, but there are different ways to express love and friendship. Speaking from the heart is one, gently guiding you away from making mistakes is another and being in your corner when you can't be in your own is a third. There are plenty more but these are enough to think about for now.

It's your turn to give back. For years, lovers, loved ones and friends have been there for you with encouragement, support and even financial aid. You have leaned on them pretty heavily. Now the time has come to repay those debts. You may feel like you're not up to it, but Saturn in Sagittarius insists that you keep your word. The stars aren't saying you have to do it all in one fell swoop, but a returned favor here or a fulfilled pledge there is all it takes until you build momentum. You'll feel much better about yourself.

This is going to be an emotional week for you. You may feel uprooted, alone or totally unsupported. A lot of psychological baggage gets stirred up when there's a lunar eclipse in that part of your solar chart that pertains to home and family. Part of this stems from unresolved issues and part of it is the result of very real separations and enforced distances. But focus on the family you've created for yourself in the here and now. It's true that you can't go home again, but considering all that you have — you may not want to.

The Venus/Uranus trine on Sept. 22 shows that you will be the winner of a weeks-long showdown. But this victory won't result from forcing a loved one or partner to see the error of his ways; it will come from your unwavering belief in that person's higher self. We don't always recognize our own potential which is why it's so important for someone else to recognize it for us — to hold that space — until we can embrace it on our own. This is what you have done and it's the greatest gift that you can give.

You don't like being pushed. He doesn't like being left hanging. And somewhere between these two points lies your relationship. In truth he can't do anything more to make his case. You know that he wants to be with you, what his earning power is, and you have a pretty clear idea of what life together would be like. Nevertheless you keep finding reasons to defer, deter and to postpone. You can expect things to reach the breaking point when Mars squares Saturn on Sept. 25. This doesn't have to be heartbreaking, but it will be decisive.
