“Relationship is a cold word. It has no vibrancy, like, for instance, kinship, which immediately stirs something in the blood, or like love with its infinity of overtones.” Irene Claremont de Castillejo
The week starts off with Uranus, the planet of revolutionary changes conjunct Juno, the asteroid of marriage and commitment. This pair has been traveling together for awhile now and reflects the desire for more authenticity and freedom in relationships and the push back against it.
Uranus in Taurus also brings the desire for freedom from traditions that have outlived their time. This can open the door to new opportunities in relationship and can also signal the need for more distance in others.
On Tuesday Venus moves out of the sign of Taurus into Gemini. Venus in this sign likes space in relationships. It’s a good time for getting together with friends and socializing. It’s also a good time for pursuing intellectual interests.
Venus at 0 Gemini will make a favorable alignment with Pluto on Tuesday as well, ushering in a good time to look at any changes you’d like to make in the relationship sphere related to self empowerment. Pluto is the god of transformation and this provides a good time as well to look at any financial changes you’d like to make that could move things in a better direction.
The Sun moves up to favorable alignment with Jupiter on Tuesday – bringing optimism, luck and a sense of expansion. With both planets in the adventurous sign of Aries, this provides a good time to take action on projects you would like to get started.
Venus will move up to a square to Saturn later in the week bringing a more serious time or a time when a sense of lack may be present.
We are heading into an Eclipse period now with the first Solar Eclipse on April 20 at 29 degrees of Aries. In a nutshell this is an eclipse that heralds a time of beginnings with a strong focus on courage, independence and action.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is.”A new continent is rising out of the ocean.”
