Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
No one is more attuned to the subtleties of human relationships than Libra. Therefore, rudeness and insensitivity will seriously offend this person, to whom harmony and fairness are everything. Avoid off-color jokes and language. And, pushy behavior or a me-me-me attitude are apt to send your balancer running in the opposite direction. Make an effort to practice the niceties for your Libra partner's sake. Thank you notes, promptness, and sincere apologies when necessary will keep socially savvy Libra from crossing you off their list.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Betraying your eagle's trust is the ultimate deal-breaker. Because they've been betrayed so often in the past, however, Scorpios often unconsciously set up situations in which it will happen again (such as accusing you so often of infidelity that you're actually driven to do it). Or, they end up feeling fatally wounded by an inadvertent gaffe. Still, if you want to avoid getting tossed on the trash heap, be upfront in all your dealings and stay committed for the long haul. You can still preserve some independence -- just make sure you're scrupulously honest as well.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 20)
Never try to fence a Sagittarian in. Possessiveness, jealousy, constantly checking on their whereabouts -- these are deal-breakers for the sign that's all about freedom. The Sagittarian sweetness you find so delightful can easily turn to vinegar if this person feels trapped. Instead, trust your archer implicitly -- even when he or she is late or off on an adventure without you. If you try to clamp down, it's ultimately going to backfire. It helps to be very secure to start with, or you may end up watching Sag's backside as he hits the road.

Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 19)
Just because Capricorn doesn't show his feelings much, he still gets wounded -- especially if his dignity is involved. Therefore, never take your seagoat to task in public or do anything that would jeopardize his status or image. This includes discussing your private life with his workmates or employees, and flirting with others right in front of him. Caps need time to process things before making a decision. Forcing the issue or impatiently insisting on talking things out before he or she is ready can be a real deal-breaker.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 17)
The Water-bearer is on a mission. Tossing your candy wrapper out the window may equate to tossing out the relationship where this staunch environmentalist is concerned. Neglecting an animal in any way would be a serious deal-breaker, too. Aquarius usually has lots of friends of all different sorts. You'll need to make allowances for these people -- and the amount of time your partner spends with them -- if you hope to have a rewarding relationship. An iron grip doesn't cut it with these freedom-loving souls.

Pisces(Feb. 18 to March 19)
Fishes love to give, but don't take advantage of their good nature or you may end up dog-paddling alone. A little reciprocity goes a long way with this sign; if he's been taking you out to expensive restaurants, make him a special meal in return. If she always cooks, be sure to help with the dishes. Pisces also has strong spiritual beliefs: if you don't share them, it could be a deal-breaker. And, though this sign appreciates an artistic touch, if you're all style and no substance, they'll ultimately leave you behind.
