There are times when you feel like getting all dressed up and sitting down to a fancy five-course meal and times when nothing but a greasy burger and a fistful of fries will do. Well, that's the way you'll be feeling when the Mars/Uranus trine in Aries ignites the fire down below. You tried doing the romance thing recently and all it did was get complicated. What you need now is some very physical recreation with no ifs, ands or buts. You have an itch that needs scratching and you can rest assured that you'll be finding someone who can help out with that this week.

This is bound to be an emotionally challenging week. First of all, lunar eclipses are never easy (Sept. 16). This is when abandonment anxieties, feelings of neediness and existential vulnerability all come rising to the surface. Toss in the Venus/Uranus opposition (Sept. 18) and you'll feel like throwing up your hands and sitting down by the side of the road. In a way, this wouldn't be the worst idea. It signals to demanding loved ones and self-absorbed friends that even Rocks of Gibraltar can experience an erosion in confidence. Not only will they lighten up, they might just lend a shoulder to lean on.

Are you on the verge of doing something you'll regret? Probably. As a Gemini, you suffer from this unfortunate tendency to undo all the good that you've done. There's a part of you that will work hard to build the perfect relationship, and then when you're on the verge of getting serious, you'll do something to mess it up. It's not unlike a child, who being told not to put her hand on the stovetop burner when it's on, will go ahead and do it anyway. It can't be helped. That said, you may want to rethink that irrepressible impulse of yours on Sept. 16.

Things reach the breaking point on Sept. 9. Be forewarned that this could bring a break up. Separations and divorces often happen during a lunar eclipse. However, these planetary energies could also push you to have it out with your lover. This is your chance to tell it like it is and to identify the changes that need to happen in your relationship if it's going to continue. That said, you should also be prepared to hear his side of the story. Feelings will be hurt, but guards will also be lowered and the end result could bring the two of you closer together.

It's going to be hard to tell the difference between fair-weather friends and the true-blue ones this week. So many people who promised to be there for you will be reneging on their pledges or suddenly suffering from temporary bouts of amnesia. It will be both discouraging and disconcerting. Yet one thing will emerge as something you can rely on and that's the support of a lover or spouse. It's funny how the fickleness in others brings out the steadfastness in him. Chances are, he's always been in your corner; it's just that he's never had an occasion to show it until now.

Are you a closet drama queen? It's beginning to look that way given all the scenes you've been involved in lately. If you're not the one having the public meltdown, then it's your partner. Does this mean you should break up? Maybe. But sometimes the intensity of fighting increases when we're struggling the most with something deep inside ourselves. You crave intimacy, but it's also something that frightens you. The only way to break on through to the other side of that psychic barrier is to commit to that person — at least for now. Anything less and you'll always wonder "what if?"

You don't like it when people are upset with you. It's why you will bend over backward to make them happy by telling them what they want to hear, avoiding uncomfortable topics and even staying in a relationship when you know that it's not working. You may pride yourself on your good behavior and upbeat demeanor, but dramatic developments on Sept. 18 will show that you weren't fooling anyone. Your partner knew what you were really feeling underneath all along. This realization will free you both to say and do the things that should have been said and done a long time ago.

It's going to feel like anger has grabbed control of your psychic console this week as ruling planet Mars squares Mercury and then the sun. In some ways, you can think of the planets as the emotions bickering over who's in charge of Riley's life from the film Inside Out. This will make you feel more like a passenger than the driver behind the wheel. Nevertheless, you need to exercise some kind of self-control before you drive away friends and alienate support. People will understand you're going through a hard time as long as you say so. They won't if you come across as brusque, dismissive and mean-spirited.

You've got your mojo back! Mars in Sagittarius these past few weeks has really restored your confidence and pumped up your can-do spirit. It's also increased your magnetism and charisma. That's why you have so many men trying to flirt with you. You may not think that that's what they're doing, but it is — which is why you need to tune in so you can pick up on their signals. Men can get shy and sheepish around assertive women. Help them out by being welcoming and encouraging. It's ironic that they're the ones who are oversensitive to rejection, but that's what's going on.

People pick up their toys and leave the sandbox all the time when they don't get their way in a relationship. It happens far too often nowadays and much to their regret. You, however, will wait things out. And this steadfastness is exactly what's needed this week when the cosmic gales reach a hurricane pitch. Born under the sign of the mountain goat, you've scaled enough peaks to know when to press yourself to the side of cliff and bide your time. And in the end, your lover or partner will thank you for it when his hissy fit gets downgraded to a tropical storm.

You don't just pay lip service to your higher principles — You embody them. And you expect anyone you date to do the same too. Now this might sound a bit inflexible, but that's because you've gone out with too many guys who said they understood your point of view only to wind up pooh-poohing what you had to say or treating your opinions like eccentricities. You've had enough of it. This week's Mars/Uranus trine shows you meeting someone who may be even more ideological than you. Ironically, it looks like you'll be the one who's trying to get him to lighten up rather than vice-versa.

A lunar eclipse in your sign on Sept. 16 gets you to review how things are going in your relationship. If it feels like it's been an uphill climb these past few months, then you will reach a point where you just run out of gas. It won't be big. It won't be sensational or melodramatic. It will just be this sobering feeling that things have gone as far as they can go and you need to move on. If, however, things look promising, then this is the time to commit to building a future together because you truly have met and found your match.
