Relationship Power Struggles Ahead

On Sunday the Sun in Aries exactly opposed Saturn in Libra and signaled the start of the run up to the Full Moon in Libra T-square between the Sun in Aries, Moon in Libra conjunct Saturn and both squaring Pluto in Capricorn. In other words, if there are weak points in your one-on-one relationships that you have overlooked, this next week may show them to you.

Remember the dreamy days when Venus was in Pisces conjoining the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus; and the possibility you may have found your perfect partner looked very good? Those dreams are about to be put to the test, especially if there were a few teeny, tiny facts you may have temporarily forgotten to mention to your sweetheart.

Remember me saying over and over in regards to the Saturn in Libra square to Pluto in Capricorn about being as honest as humanly possible in your relationships because Pluto will “out” you? This is one of those times when this is very likely scenario with rather unpleasant results.

If you are doing some soul searching looking for potential problems areas, my suggestion would be to check your feelings first and foremost. Our expectations and assumptions surrounding our notions of a perfect partner can be a pretty tough fit for a normal human being with clay feet and “warts”. We can be either the person being projected on, or the projector. In either case, clinging tightly to our expectations of a certain outcome (Pluto) can wreck havoc.

However, if both of parties have worked very, very hard on A) being honest with themselves and B) being honest with their partner/lover/friend, the chances of a good outcome for a deeper, richer relationship is much improved.

Please keep in mind we’re dealing with “take action NOW” cardinal sign energy, so if things go bad the likelihood of someone heading out the door is far greater. I know cardinal signs because I am one (Libra Sun-Moon) and I’m married to another (Aries Sun- Moon). So you fixed sign folks (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio & Aquarius) and mutable people (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius & Pisces) take note if your sweetheart is a cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra & Capricorn).

Pluto squaring the Moon-Saturn in Libra does hint at attempts to use emotional blackmail. Re-thinking that tactic could prevent a serious explosion – not to mention having sharp objects hurled at the perpetrator of said tactic.

When all else fails, be kind, be honest and be sincere. A good relationship is far more often about BEING the right person, and not finding the right person. End of Libra lecture . . .
