Venus and Pluto unite today, which can bring power struggles and triangular relationships. Note that love triangles don’t necessarily mean that a third party is involved in a personal relationship. They can also mean that a desire for professional acclaim and fame stands between you and a partner, or that religious differences play a part in issues pertaining to a union.

Power struggles are common with Pluto, and a need to always be right and in control can start arguments. It can add heaviness and obsession to relationships and projects, especially with Venus and Pluto in the sign of Capricorn.

Mercury in Sagittarius links with Jupiter in Aquarius, creating dynamic insights that can shape the direction of your life and the actions that you take to reach your goals.

Tonight, the Sagittarius sun squares off with Neptune in Pisces, creating a vibe that juxtaposes with the intense Pluto energy. This could make us dreamy and unable to function in reality, which is completely opposite the vibe of the earlier Venus-Pluto connection. It can also heighten emotion, intuition, and sensitivity regarding how we handle matters. Be forewarned that this can also bring exhaustion, which means that you should allow yourself to rest.

Venus conjuncts Pluto today as it slows to turn retrograde on December 19th. Coupled with the Sun’s square to Neptune, the Venus-Pluto conjunction offers extremely powerful creative capacity driven by passionate idealism. The flow of insights has likely stirred our optimism as well as our idealism. The challenge has been to find some sense of structure or guidelines that keeps our efforts focused and stabilized. Today’s environment is likely to produce some surprising twists as well as shifts in direction that are the result of changing circumstances. Creative flexibility that helps us adapt to course alterations is offered here but we need to maintain awareness and not get lost in idealistic determination that is disconnected from reality.
