Being there for others sounds good in theory, but often winds up becoming tedious in practice. Probably because you never really know what you're getting into when you answer the call for help. Nevertheless, the sun/Saturn square shows you taking on the enormous burden of caring for a loved one, helping a friend turn her life around, or being the single means of support for someone who doesn't have anyone else to turn to. It won't be easy doing all of this — especially given your near zero tolerance for weakness — but you will be an astonishing success and become a better person as a result.

The solar eclipse on Sept. 1 in that part of your solar chart that pertains to love and romance will surely bring dramatic changes. If you're single, then you won't be for very long. Within six months, you'll be in a serious relationship and maybe even married. If you're already spoken for, then your relationship will undergo some extraordinary developments. One of these will be an upswing in your partner's fortunes. That sounds good now, but it could become a sore point, as it will alter the balance of power. You may not take kindly to someone who relied on you barking orders instead.

The sun squares Saturn on Sept. 1. This will introduce the final straw in what has already been an overly complicated and fraught process of trying to get together. Whether it's the straw that breaks the camel's back depends on how much you've grown this past year. If you're still smarting over what went down in your previous relationship, then things probably won't turn out well. You won't have the kind of trust and belief needed to endure what you will be asked to endure. But if you've learned to forgive and forget, then this supposed "fiasco" might bring the healing you've been seeking.

You were born under a zodiac sign that looks like it's a tough nut to crack. You know that if you come across as hard and crusty at times, it's only because you are trying to prevent your feelings from being hurt. But others don't know that. They don't know that you're trying to cover up that soft emotional underbelly of yours. This week would be the perfect time to open up. People need to feel needed and if you don't show them that they matter to you then they're not going to stick around. Show them a little tenderness and they'll show you theirs.

This is one of those weeks when several things will be happening all at once. And everyone will want your absolute and undivided attention. Expect rolling emotional peaks and valleys to run the gamut, from the guy you're seeing saying that he's madly in love with you to a troubled best friend asking if you can make some time for her to a family member who needs to confide a very deep and personal secret. It's all a bit much and you'll feel pulled in several directions simultaneously. Thankfully, you were born under the lion-hearted sign, which means that you'll be there for everyone.

It's extraordinary how you can have such high expectations of yourself but will ask almost nothing of anyone else. No wonder you're so cranky all the time. Astrology books say it's because you're a perfectionist, but what it really stems from is that you don't want to rely on others. Others can rely on you, but not vice-versa. Believe it or not, there's a higher purpose being served by a fiasco you face on Sept. 2. It's meant to get you to lean on somebody else for a change. Being in a relationship means you've got a co-pilot and you're not flying solo anymore.

You're tired of the financial imbalance in your life and you want to rectify it. Perhaps it's time to say "no" to loved ones who keep treating you like their personal ATM or maybe you need to go back to work so a spouse will no longer have veto power over your spending. They say that money is the root of all evil, but actually it's the feeling that your money doesn't belong to you that's really fostering your resentment. Putting your foot down is bound to upset people, but it's a small price to pay for the autonomy you'll enjoy.

It doesn't matter how deep a hole your partner digs for himself, you will get right on down there with him and try to sort things out. Scorpios get a bad rap when it comes to trustworthiness. Often portrayed as suspicious and duplicitous, people don't always appreciate the secrets you keep. Not only will you stick with a spouse through hell and high water, but you will do everything to ensure that nobody discovers how rough things have been. Sometimes that's good and sometimes that's bad — especially if it perpetuates an ongoing problem. You may need to ask for a helping hand on Sept. 2.

Are you saying "yes" to something you should be saying "no" to? That's the question you need to ask on Sept. 1. You are by nature agreeable. Yes you have a temper and more than just a few colorful opinions, but in the end you tend go along with what your partner wants. On the whole, this is OK except that now it looks like your partner is taking on a tremendous task, burden or responsibility that will impact you as well. It's time to have that conversation you've been avoiding because if you don't, then you could consent to something that you'll regret later.

You'll need to get used to people saying "yes" with Venus taking up residence in your solar midheaven. Venus is the planet of attraction in astrology, and when she's prominent — like she will be from Aug. 29 to Sept. 23 — you will find yourself surrounded by admirers, well wishers and suitors vying aggressively for your hand. Being a dubious Capricorn, you'll wonder if people are trying to pull a fast one on you. They aren't. In fact, they've never been more serious about sharing the love. Make a point of sharing back. You don't want to miss out on all the fun.

Aquarians are pretty laid-back. You give your spouse a lot of latitude, you're lenient when it comes to loved ones and you believe that people are free to come and go as they please. Well, all of that changes this week. Maybe it's the uncertainty of world events or maybe it's the intense eclipse energy that's coursing through your horoscope, but you will suddenly want to keep close tabs on just about everyone you know. You're not usually this overprotective, and part of you may even feel embarrassed, but your nearest and dearest will relish it. They'll enjoy knowing that you care this much.

A loved one can't make heads or tails of you these days, and to tell the truth, neither can you. It's been a long time since you felt this adrift. You know that you're on the verge of making some big life changes, but you just can't motivate yourself to act on them. That's OK because nobody will be feeling particularly clear or focused as long as the sun is opposite Neptune in the sky. Thankfully this influence will lift by Sept. 7. This is when you'll make the switch from feeling dazed and confused to being awake, alert and ready to get things going.
