Watch Out For Arguments & Smooth Talkers This Week, Astrologers Say

With these planets striking such a sweet (and sexy!) chord, relationships of all manner will just click. And with both Venus and Jupiter in fire signs, the buzz of excitement will spread like flames.

It won't take much convincing to get people on board with any wild schemes, but here's the catch: If you want to maintain their trust, make sure you can deliver the goods!

The red planet is spending a prolonged period in the sign of the Twins—as opposed to its usual seven weeks. There's no wriggling out of any promises penalty-free.

Caution: This transit can also bring out the smooth-talking salespeople. Don't rush into any dynamic duos. Be especially cautious while Mars is retrograde from October 30 to January 12.

As lusty Mars logs into loquacious Gemini for this extended cycle, racy repartee becomes an art form. Fearless Mars favors bold expression—and during the hot-tempered retrograde cycle from October 30 to January 12, avoid any possibility of your messages being misconstrued.

Variety is the spice where Gemini is concerned, so mix it up with new locations, positions, role-playing, toys, whatever! Attractions may be fast, fickle and fleeting, however. Don't start planning the wedding after the third date. If your attention span is short, don't worry. Just make sure you're not leading anyone on.

Couples may argue more or treat each other with brusque impatience. Remember that respect is the foundation of any lasting relationship. If insults or contempt creep into your dynamic, stop and address the frustration behind your biting (and fighting) words. Or, save your edgy talk for the boudoir!
