A number of weeks ago you staged a major walkout with a loved one or BFF and your dramatic exit won the support of many friends. It felt good in the moment as this person was being so impossible, but as time passed, you noticed friends starting to sneak back to rejoin the "enemy" camp. In fact, the defection has been so large you may find yourself pretty much alone nowadays. Perhaps it's time to make a peace offering? Whatever your differences, they don't seem to be that insurmountable and you would be happier calling a truce than continuing a grudge you've lost faith in.

A loved one finally acquiesces. It's a great moment because you've won and he will now do what you say. So why does your victory feel so hollow? Probably because you forced the issue and you know he's only doing this to make you happy. It's too late to backtrack now and you must carry on with what you set in motion, but let this be a lesson to you in the future. It's never a good idea to twist people's arms even if you're right. The cost to trust and credibility is too high and you'll have a hard time winning it back.

Is it too early to say you're sorry? No. But don't expect him to welcome you back with open arms. A lot of things were said in the heat of the moment and some points were spot-on and some were mean-spirited. You need to take responsibility for that. Simply saying that you're ready to talk isn't enough to get the other party to do likewise. If his rebuff makes you storm off, then you know things are over, but if you're willing to give him the time and space he needs to compose himself then you'll be rewarded for your patience on June 6.

Are things over before they began with that fellow you're seeing? Evidently. It tends to happen when Mercury changes direction on the same day as a full moon (May 21). It's a situation neither of you saw coming. Maybe your ex reappears and convinces you that he really has changed his ways or the guy you're seeing realizes he's not ready for something new or the two of you wind up fizzling instead of sizzling. In any case, don't take it personally. Wish each other the best and move on. This has less to do with you and more to do with bad timing.

That guy you broke up with shows up out of the blue on the arm of an acquaintance or to pick up some things he left at your place. In any case, he looks really good and it will be hard to keep your hands off him. Is this dumper's remorse or do you really have feelings for him? It will be hard to tell with Mars retrograding past the full moon on May 22. That said, there's only one way to find out. Expect him to protest at first (he has his pride after all), but you'll soon see he's game if you are.

It's clear that you can only push a loved one so far before he begins to push back. It's frustrating to see him repeat the same mistakes and to have your words fall on deaf ears, but you need to trust that he's heard you and now needs time to absorb what you've said. It isn't easy to be the one who stands by your relationship when the other party wants to be anywhere but here, but these are the times that try a relationship's soul. Have faith that everything will turn out for the best and you'll see it rewarded on the 30th.

Wow, things must be getting serious if you're starting to talk about prenups. It's not the most romantic discussion you could hope to have, but it's a necessary one. You've both been burned by ex-spouses and the fact that you've been there/done that will make this a productive conversation. Actually the conversation will be more comfortable for you than it will be for him which is why you need to take the lead with it. Planetary configurations this fall show that you could marry — or at least move in together — and you'll want these details ironed out ahead of time.

Picking up where you left off with someone you used to date can feel a lot like trying to squeeze back into a wet swimsuit. It's cold, clammy and doesn't slip on easily. Nevertheless ruling planet Mars conjunct the full moon on May 22 shows that you're determined to make things work this time. Try to get out of the "show me" headspace that you're in. Both you and he were culpable (even though you're still not convinced you were) and it's only by seeing yourselves as equals that you can start afresh. Starting afresh means ripping up the scorecard and forgiving past slights.

Watch it with the ultimatums because he might take you up on them. Not only are you going at things backward in your relationship, but you're too financially dependent on him to leave. The frustration level is high and likely to get higher so you might want to stop saying things you'll regret because nobody's feeling very patient or forgiving. It's not your partner's fault that you aren't getting the things you want out of life. That's your business. If you think he's holding you back, then leave. Otherwise stop shooting barbs at someone who's doing what he can to make things work.

People's behavior can trigger all kinds of things in you. Someone's anger may raise your psychic hackles and put you on the defensive or their depression may launch you into a pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps sermon because you're so afraid of falling into a funk yourself. Unfortunately we can't walk around in a bubble. We are constantly being assaulted by others' apprehensions and anxieties which means that each of us has to find a way to deal with it. The best way to do this is by being supportive. Lend an ear, offer a shoulder, and let them vent. They'll feel a lot better and so will you.

You'll feel a spike in irritability when Mars conjoins the full moon on May 22. It's bad enough that you're being peevish and snappish; don't make it worse by trying to deny it. There are certain zodiac signs that are comfortable expressing their less than flattering sides. They know these things come out every once in a while and that the best thing to do is give them their airtime. Unfortunately Aquarians aren't very good at accepting their shortcomings. That's because everything must be rationalized and explained away. Do yourself a favor and just cop to it. You're a human being after all and not a machine.

Patch things up with a sibling or close friend. It's human nature to get into spats and feuds. One person's trivial misstep can be another's monstrous trespass. Oftentimes we take for granted the people closest to us in our lives. Maybe because we've known them so long, see them every day or assume they'll always be there. It's why they say that familiarity breeds contempt. Take a moment to see if someone really meant to hurt your feelings or if this was blown out of proportion because, well, most everything gets blown out of proportion these days. An apology turns a mountain back into a molehill.
