Venus in Libra squares off with Pluto in Capricorn, and the friction between these two planets can cause manipulative emotions to increase. Romantic sentiments will be intensified as one party wants to dominate the other. It could be hard for either party to take charge because the other may not feel like participating in the high-stakes drama.

At the root of the relationship, there could be a lot of paranoia and insecurity being heightened and triggered at this time. It will be hard to negotiate or compromise with friends, lovers, or family members because no one is willing to understand the other person’s point of view. The only way you can make amends is to relinquish the need to be right and be unafraid of the consequences of putting your foot down.

There are nice ways to express yourself that don’t cause major turmoil with the people you care about. If you want a situation to change and transform, then it’s important to choose your words wisely. Remember, you can attract more bees with honey. This is why you’ll see results and a metamorphosis within your relationships if you speak your mind with an open heart and allow yourself to move toward personal transformation that will benefit your partnership as well.

We have a bit more clarity than seemed to be available yesterday. Mental capacity will be easier to apply to whatever situations present themselves. However, a strong desire to please or avoid any overt conflict may cause some to lose respect. This seems to suggest a fine line to walk where we are expected to show our cleverness and mental ability in order to make our case, yet avoid or dispel outright conflict without looking weak. Today represents another turning point as we begin to see forward progress and realize that there is, in fact, no going back.
