Hard conversations results in stronger relationships

Stars signs affected the most: Scorpio and Pisces can reap rewards.

Intense exchanges in the context of a committed partnership are on the cards this week as Mercury, Pluto, and the asteroid Juno pull closer together. Issues earlier swept under the rug now need to emerge. Hard truths may have to be confronted. The silver lining is that big breakthroughs in your most important relationships can be made during this intense period, resulting in even stronger bonds. Steel is forged in fire after all.  

Order and structure may be highlighted

Stars signs affected the most: Aries, Cancer, and Libra may feel more energized.

Mars finally joins planetary party in Capricorn this week, bringing more order and structure to our efforts. Pragmatism is celebrated under this cardinal earth sign. With Mars moving in, we will want to put our most tenacious, detail-oriented impulses in service of our own advancement. The retrograde Mercury also backtracks into Capricorn by mid-week, when we may naturally mull over our personal ambitions.

Find love from within during retrograde

Stars signs affected the most: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn can find more love inside. 

Venus spends her final week in retrograde. A better use of this season, besides wondering if your ex is going to slide back into your DMs, is to consider what you value in life as well as how much value you see in yourself. It is often said, but bears repeating, that how much we value ourselves hugely affects how much we are valued by others. Whitney Houston was right about the greatest love of all.
