Is it over before it began? It certainly feels that way on Oct. 12 when the new moon opposes Uranus. Evidently you found another commitment-phobe to pin your heart and hopes on and he's behaving true to form. But what if this is more than just a run of bad luck? You may have developed a sixth sense for the one guy in the room who gets cold feet and maybe you do this because it's easier to blame him than it is to reflect on your own ambivalence about being in a relationship? It's something worth thinking about.

You were born under one of the most territorial signs of the zodiac. As long as people respect your space and keep their hands off your stuff, you're good. However, you were also born under Venus, a planet whose focus is on people and how to please them. Venus makes you share even when you don't want to. On Oct. 16 Venus opposes Neptune. This is when you'll make a sacrifice, give away money you don't have or perform a supreme act of generosity. You won't get any material benefit from it, but it will make you a better person.

Venus in Virgo is usually pretty discriminating but not when she's opposite Neptune on Oct. 16. This is when you could find yourself making all kinds of excuses for a boyfriend who isn't worth your trust or love. Intellectually you know better, but your emotional logic will be all over the place. It's amazing how we will bend the rules for a lover that we would never think of bending for a sibling or a friend. Apply the same criteria to him as you would to the people in your life who matter most and you'll know what to do.

Developments unfolding at work show that you're in line for a transfer or major promotion. It's exciting and full of possibility, but should these things take place then it would mean a lot of time away from home. This could lead you to say "no" because you don't want to upset anybody, but don't. You've given a lot of yourself lately and it's time for loved ones to be more flexible and supportive. Thankfully planetary aspects on Oct. 15 and 17 show that you will be able to work out an arrangement that everyone can live with.

You're sick and tired of your partner blaming you for his frustration. When you're sympathetic you get treated like a doormat. When you try being helpful you're told to stop interfering. And when you offer solutions they get shot down like clay pigeons in a shooting gallery. So it makes perfect sense that you would snap on Oct. 12 during a tense new moon/Uranus opposition. Ironically this will snap him out of his self-absorption and get him to recognize that he's being a jerk. It may not rehabilitate him, but at least he'll see the error of his ways.

You said you'd always be there and you'll have to prove it on Oct. 12 when a loved one turns to you for help, a friend divulges a pretty heavy secret or a co-worker shares information that is extremely sensitive. Take all the time you need to give your advice. It's a very complicated matter and will require a deft touch. It's also a good idea to remember that just because this person came to you for help doesn't mean that they have a clear idea of what they're asking for. You are probably the best judge of that.

Obsession and suspicion could get the better of you with the sun currently traveling through that part of your solar horoscope that pertains to self-undoing.

Who wants to be cross-examined about where they've been and what they've been up to? As the song says "paranoia will destroy ya." Don't let this happen to you — especially when insecurities peak on Oct. 12. You have to learn to trust people and this week would be a good time to start.

As a fire sign, you tend to make love first and ask questions later. That's because you're hot (in every sense of the word) and a creature of impulse. Interestingly the harder thing to do is to make friends with your lover. It doesn't come easy despite your camaraderie with men. Thankfully the Mercury/Saturn sextile on Oct. 13 shows that "friends" doesn't have to be a word you use when you're looking to downgrade your relationship to something more casual. It may actually be something that will keep you together when the first flush of passion runs its course.

Once again your busy schedule is usurping the rest of your life. Obviously you can't say no to projects and deadlines, but you could be more proactive about finding ways to work in some romantic time with your partner or spouse. Take him out to dinner or sneak away one afternoon for a tryst. Just because you have a packed workday doesn't mean that you can't shake it up a little. Your ruling planet is Uranus after all. This will do a lot to keep his interest and his faith. It will also do a lot to keep you humming.

But you don't want the mesmerized to be leading the mesmerized. Shake yourself free and take a sober look on Saturday. This is when you will know for certain if you're right for each other or not.
