You've gotten a little patronizing lately. Not in an outwardly condescending way, but in a bit of a know-it-all one. There's nothing that your partner can do to impress, surprise or even delight you. You've seen it all before. Are you sure that this is the way you want to be in your relationship? Yes, it's true that he's made dozens of mistakes and he's even made them repeatedly, but once you don the jade-colored glasses, you will have a hard time seeing him in any other light. Thankfully, the Mars/Jupiter square will give him a chance to make you believe in him again.

You need to tell your spouse to get off your case. You appreciate that he only wants the best for you, which is why he's pushing you to push yourself, but Venus in Scorpio shows that you're nearing the point where you're ready to shove him back. In other words, all of his coaching, provoking, championing and criticizing has become counterproductive. BTW, you're not entirely blameless, as you were the one to pass over the reins to begin with, but now you're feeling confident enough to take hold of them again. Next time, don't be so cavalier about giving away the power in your life.

On Oct. 7, Mercury enters clear-eyed Libra. This will come as a huge relief, as you can finally exchange one thinking cap for another. For weeks, you were fixated on trying to identify all of the potential trouble spots in your relationship and to rectify them swiftly, although it wasn't always clear as to why. Were you trying to identify problems or create them? Thankfully, Libra energy brings a more balanced perspective, as you'll be able to see things from his point of view without devaluing your own. This will allow you to appreciate what's working for you rather than harp on about what's working against you.

There's a difference between going out with someone who's intense and going out with someone who has a domineering personality. Intense can be sexy. And though you may tend to play the backcourt in this type of relationship, you know full well that you can cool his engines and even get him to lighten up if need be. A domineering man, however, isn't the same thing — especially if he undermines your confidence, subtly separates you from family and friends and insists upon being the sole focus of your life. This distinction is something you need to think long and hard about this week.

You don't always have to have the bright, shiny answer to people's problems. As a child of the sun, you feel like it's your moral duty to revive downcast spirits, rekindle their low-burning faith and rouse their better selves. After all, the sun always rises on a new day, right? Well, this week, people need a commiserator, not a cheerleader. Sit down with a troubled loved one or friend — knee to knee — and ask what's going on. You don't need to have a solution or a game plan. The fact that you're listening brings all the comfort and solace that this person needs.

Relationships don't work by fixing yourself first and then going out and finding someone now that you're ready. Relationships are creative collaborations that organically arise from two people being together. This can only happen if you see yourselves as works in progress. You need things like question marks, empty spaces and unfinished sentences or why bother having someone in your life? You've done the work of two people for too long, which is why you need to let him show you what he can do. He's not trying to take over your life; he's just trying to make a place for himself in it.

You're having a hard time finding the perfect balance in your relationships. Ever since Jupiter entered your zodiac sign on Sept. 9, loved ones and friends have accused you of being bossy and overreaching. Yet the moment you dial it down, you can't help noticing that they immediately begin strong-arming you into being the person that they want you to be. What do you do? You need to be true to who you are. If loved ones still have a problem with that, then it's a problem that they're going to have to deal with, because when it comes to yourself, you know you're good.

It's ironic that for somebody who's often made light of other people's romantic gullibility, you would be experiencing such a difficult time in winning over a lover's trust. Maybe all those years of testing, keeping people at arm's length or being skeptical in love have left you with rougher calluses than you know. In any case, it's good to see you reaching out to someone you care about. Not only do you know what it's like to be in this person's shoes, but you know just what to say and do to get him to open up. This will heal both of you.

If you want someone in your life, then make a space for him. It doesn't have to be a big deal. Maybe it's emptying out a drawer in your dresser, making room in the bathroom medicine cabinet or clearing a place on the couch. It may sound crazy, but this actually gets your psyche used to the idea of someone being in your life. It redirects the gaze from the stream of faces and possibilities that distract and steal focus and brings it back to you. The imagination is a very powerful tool — much more powerful than we realize. Visualize and he will materialize.

Falling in love with someone who's going through a life crisis can be very seductive. Circumstances are volatile and every decision he makes feels like it's a life or death one. It's exhilarating and even erotic if you think about it. And thinking about it is something you should do on Oct. 5 when the Venus/Pluto sextile pushes you to act on heretofore-unexpressed feelings. If you can accept the moment for what it is, then enjoy it. If you have fantasies of creating a future together, then keep those emotions to yourself. He's in no place to think that far ahead right now.

Nowadays, you can pretty much tweet, message, or text anybody ranging from an old crush in high school to His Holiness the Pope. It doesn't mean that this person will respond, but there's still a fun "message in a bottle" kind of randomness to it all. On Oct. 4, you'll be surprised to hear back from someone you sent a greeting to long ago. It's someone that you always wondered about and evidently this person's been wondering about you too. Things can stay light and breezy, but if you're looking for something more, this is your chance to check it out.

Money doesn't usually play a role in your romantic decisions, but it will this week when the Sun squares Pluto on Oct. 7. At first you were intrigued and kind of even turned on by your partner's now-or-never ultimatum. You like it when men get assertive and a little bossy. But when you think about what you would have to give up in order to be with him, the room starts to spin. It looks like what he's asking of you would cost you your financial independence and that's a no-can-do. Loss of economic autonomy is too high a price to pay for love.
