Today, Venus in Scorpio squares up to Pluto in Aquarius, creating power struggles and bringing hidden tensions to the surface.
This challenging 90-degree angle is particularly significant for Sagittarius, who may find out more than they expected — or wanted to — about someone close.
Meanwhile, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius should be ready for unresolved relationship issues to come to a head.

Aries
March 21 to April 20
An aspect occurs today which hasn’t played out for 18 or so years. It’s when the Sun in your sector of relating arcs fabulously to the potent North Node in idealistic Aquarius. Yet while this is full of potential to forge the very best of alliances, be they friendships or collaborations, in stark contrast, another involvement really could reach a point of no return.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
We don’t always get to choose who we work with, just like we don’t get to choose our relatives. Yet a piece of happy cosmic serendipity can occur now, which can remind you of how much an older person in your family means to you, and just how decent a colleague is. In both cases, there may not be a specific reason that showcases this, just an inner nudge.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Friendships can take many forms, but for you what often really ticks that box is those who keep things bright and breezy. Dull is anathema to you. However, that said, if you can connect to people who also intrigue and stimulate as well as make you titter, then that really is the sweet spot. A time which feels laden with expectation can make way for a new, brighter person.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Your talent for sensing can be as powerful as another, more underrated ability for shrewdly steering. The two combine brilliantly today. This could see you have a significant, if on the surface gentle, discussion about a home, family or emotional strand. Who you speak with may be happy to be nudged or guided, most of all because of the trust they have for you.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
The most powerful conversations we have are rarely those that are planned. Just like the best nights can be those random after-work drinks that turn into a total blast. Powerful transformations are going on in your life just now, in the relationship sector. Those that don’t work may slowly melt away, but more aligned and fated ties can replace them. Trust the process.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Your appreciation of attending to your key responsibilities is a very large part of your nature, and admirably so. However, a super-rare alliance is giving you a unique opportunity to think about how you can combine your earthy instincts, but more creatively. This could be as a crafter, through a hobby, or pottery, or whatever pulls you to do. Let the flow guide you.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Sometimes the most significant shifts happen without announcement. A subtle change in someone’s attitude may tell you more than a big chat. Trust the connections that are mutually supportive, but don’t ignore what Venus and Pluto reveal. One relationship may have reached its natural conclusion, and clinging to it simply because of history won’t change that.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
You can be remarkably perceptive when it comes to what is happening beneath the surface, and today you may pick up on something others are missing. This could be useful professionally, particularly if a colleague isn’t open. Yet don’t allow an old irritation to cloud your judgement. A more productive alliance may now be possible.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
A conversation with someone who sees the world differently can illuminate. You don’t have to agree with everything they say to recognise that they have opened up a possibility you haven’t considered. This can be especially useful around travel, learning or future plans. Yet Venus and Pluto suggest that, around a relationship, a revelation may touch a nerve.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
There are times when your appreciation of keeping your head down and getting on with things is perfect. Today, though, someone may draw your attention to a possibility which could call for your attention. Don’t dismiss this should it arrive unexpectedly. A family or financial matter may also reveal where an old arrangement is no longer working.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
You may find yourself at the centre of something which has been quietly gathering momentum. The Sun’s connection with your North Node in Aquarius can bring people into your orbit who have a part to play in what comes next. Yet Venus and Pluto can make one interaction considerably more intense. Be kind, but don’t confuse kindness with obligation.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Your instincts often help you navigate life without challenging every inconsistency. Part of this comes from your own fluid nature, when you can see and feel things differently at different times. Around work, wellbeing or routine, you often flex like this but now could be a fine time to get in touch with what would benefit from a full change of emphasis. Over to you!
