The Astrological Weather

Venus in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius at 9:30pm PDT, bringing up feelings of resistance in response to social pressures and complex situations.  

We want to be comfortable now, but it’s hard to ignore the ugly things going on in the world around us.  Control issues may show up in our relationships, along with compulsive behaviors.  We may feel like our obsessions are getting the better of us, or we may find ourselves attracted to dangerous people and situations.  

We are being challenged to look more closely at the underlying patterns in our relationships and what we take pleasure in, the better to free ourselves from toxic manipulations.  Our values may grow and transform as a result, and with them our relationships.
