There's the person you're supposed to be in love with and then there's the "friend" you've been hanging out with who really gets you. You have a really great time whenever you get together. However, this person seems to be involved in a complicated relationship that's pretty similar to what you're experiencing. These are the dilemmas that romantic comedies are made of, but there won't be anything funny about what happens when feelings are divulged and decisions are made on July 10. Expect some rough going in the days ahead but at least you'll wind up with the person you're supposed to be with.

Get ready to dig in your heels and fight for your relationship like never before on July 6. You know that he's not in his right mind — or heart — these days. He's hit some kind of wall in his life and he wants to blame you for everything. It would be so easy to just let him go, but the truth is you're used to being the strong one in your relationship. Probably because you love him. And there's no greater proof of your love than being there for him when he can't be there for himself. Thankfully he'll regain his senses on July 20.

Why do you have a hard time with a guy saying that he accepts you for who you are? Probably because it sounds fake and disingenuous. Not only is it presumptuous (how can he accept you for who you are if you don't even accept yourself?), but there's also a certain vague goody two-shoes quality about this and goody two-shoes qualities always make you nervous. Thankfully the Mercury/Jupiter sextile on July 8 shows that he may indeed know you better than you know yourself. It will be hard to wrap your mind around at first, but then again that's probably the point.

It isn't always easy to tell the difference between a relationship that challenges us to plumb new emotional depths and a relationship where the partner is playing head games. This is the predicament you will face this week when the sun in Cancer forms an opposition to Pluto, the planet of ordeals and the transformations that arise from them. You are truly being forced out of your comfort zone. But are you being pushed to claim your own psychological baggage or is there good reason to question his motives when it comes to you? Hard questions, but you'll know what's what by July 9.

Your love life continues to heat up when Mercury conjoins the sun on July 6. This is the day when you will say all of those things you swore you would never say — or he will. Now it's true that both of you are caught up in the excitement and the passion of being together. You're not thinking too much about the consequences and that's all right. Nobody ever thinks about the consequences when Mercury is cazimi (i.e., traveling through the heart of the sun). Live in the moment and enjoy the thrill ride. There's plenty of time to work out the details later.

Your ruling planet Mercury forms a trine to Neptune on July 5. You will experience an immediate rise in sympathy levels and this new heightened compassion will do more for you and your interactions with people than all of the sensitivity training workshops in the world. But this isn't some passing phase. Neptune has been working its magic in your horoscope for a while and you're starting to see that your emotions don't need to be straitjacketed. They won't make you neurotic or hysterical. There truly is a calm and ease to them. This allows you to relax with the people in your life.

Perhaps the most vexing thing going on in your relationship right now is that you and your partner feel like you're each making all the sacrifices and that those sacrifices are in vain. This echoing of one another can become infuriating when it comes to trying to get your message across because it feels like he's co-opting what you say in order to use your words against you. In truth, you're both right and you're both wrong, but finding a way to reconnect won't be easy. It will require a willingness on both sides to suspend disbelief and to listen with fresh ears.

Scorpios hate confrontations. It's surprising considering your sign's reputation for telling it like it is. Yet saying the thing that others are afraid to say (i.e., talking about the elephant in the room) is very different from airing your grievances face to face. Nevertheless this is something you need to do with someone you haven't been on the best of terms with recently. It's better to be proactive and to take the bull by the horns than it is to continue with your current strategy of evasion and procrastination. You don't want the other person to come looking for you. That wouldn't be pretty.

Will success spoil your boyfriend? That's what you'll be wondering on July 8 when he receives news of a once in a lifetime opportunity or breakthrough. There's no disputing that the past few months have been tough. It's been discouraging watching him work as hard as he worked and still come up empty handed. It's why you'll be genuinely happy to see him score big. But success can be as much a testament to one's character as failure — maybe even more so. Failure brings out the self-doubts, but success can bring out the inner demons. Stick around. He needs you now more than ever.

You wouldn't have to work so hard at love if you truly felt empowered. It's something to think about when the sun opposes Pluto on July 7. It's easy to feel overlooked, taken for granted and like you're the invisible woman when Pluto is in your zodiac sign. But that's only your subjective view of yourself. In reality, people see you as mesmerizing, mysterious and unapproachable. Men especially are reluctant to approach you because they're afraid of rejection. If you don't believe me, then try lowering the drawbridge this weekend. You would be surprised by what one come hither look from you can do.

Some men make better friends than lovers. That's what you'll be thinking on July 6 when that guy you've been hanging with starts fishing around to see if you might be interested in him romantically. There was a time when you were, but that time has passed. In fact, it's amazing how quickly your feelings cooled considering what was going on. This is one of those occasions when being born under an air sign can do you a world of good. Keep things light and breezy and he'll get the hint. The saving grace is that he's come to value your friendship as well.

So what do you do when your friends don't like the guy you're dating? Do you dump the guy or do you dump the friends? That's the dilemma you'll be facing this week when the sun in that part of your solar chart that pertains to matters of the heart forms a powerful opposition to Pluto in the house of friends. Simply put: They don't want to lose you to a relationship. Yes, it's immature and selfish on their part, but then again it's only human and even flattering. Perhaps less defensiveness and more reassurance from you is all it takes to ease their fears.
