Love and war are two sides of the same coin. Affection and compassion come easily today under a supportive sextile between Venus and Neptune. But intensity and control dominate the forecast as Mars meets Pluto at 0º Aquarius. Although it’s tempting to make power plays, our true power lies in our ability to show up authentically and let love flow through us. The Aries moon adds fuel to the fire, making conjunctions to Chiron and the South Node. Our irritations and triggers show us what we are ready to release so we can move forward as the truest version of ourselves.

With the planets of love (Venus and Mars) coming into a conjunction with Pluto, our desires will feel extremely intense. Power struggles are certainly possible if we don’t feel like our needs are being met. Pay attention to any vivid dreams you had last night as the new moon met up with Neptune- they could hold clues to any emotions you’ve been repressing.
