Following the intense energies of the Full Moon eclipse of this morning, we have another aspect forming that is good to note as we go about our day: Venus in Libra is coming into exact square with Pluto in Capricorn.
Venus is the planet of love, beauty, and material abundance, and as it passes through Libra there is a strong emphasis on partnership and interpersonal harmony. Pluto represents deep transformation, and as Venus comes into square with it, there are powerful forces and potential challenges to hurdle. These would be seen particularly in the area of relationship, love, and what you value, including shared resource with partners. With these other intense energies afoot this week, including the super-charged grand trine in Fire, the eclipse itself, not to mention Mercury Retrograde, today might be a good time to take it slow, and to let yourself and everyone else around you have a gentle reminder to go easy on each other. There is a tremendous degree of depth that is possible now, and you might be able to use this energy to uncover some missing factors in the way that you do relationship, and in the undercover motivations of a partner as well as of yourself. You benefit today when you approach things with curiosity, and find peace in allowing 'what is' just to arise naturally.
On the other side of seeming conflict or difficulty, lies opportunity for deeper learning, and ultimately for healing. This is not the time to push, but to simply open and ask. When you solicit from your heart, 'what does Spirit require here'' you might unexpectedly find the answer. It could be through relinquishing your attachment to any expected outcome that you get a deeper glimpse of the karmic wheel that is turning. It might help to recall the Buddhist maxim that the beautiful lotus could not have grown into its mature form without first having been nurtured in the muck.
