At 12:15 a.m.: Venus is sextile Uranus

Just after midnight, Venus in Pisces forms a sextile to Uranus in Taurus, forecasting surprises in love and romance! We may attract an unconventional suitor who gets us thinking differently about what passion can look like. A relationship could begin suddenly and dissolve just as quickly, however, all parties will be better off from the experience. If coupled, this aspect can serve to shake up our relating style in provocative ways. We are looking to understand another at a soul level—and often, this awareness can only be obtained when we are shocked out of our comfort zones. This aspect also facilitates artistic breakthroughs. Our creative talents can expand into untraditional media, helping us break new ground. Money situations may fluctuate in interesting ways at this time. We could discover that the more we give away, the more we make ourselves a magnet for an unexpected windfall.

At 8:14 a.m.: The sun is square Pluto

After sun-up, the Aries sun squares off with Pluto in Capricorn, stimulating ego crises. As always, conflicts we face in the external world are in some form or fashion a byproduct of what is playing out in our interior realms. At this time, our passions are on full display. We want the credit we believe we are due for our unique contributions. Most of all, we want full autonomy and freedom of movement. However, there are greater, Plutonian forces at odds with us. People with more power or prestige may hold the keys to our success, or the very systems that we are a part of prove toxic to our ultimate aims. We might be inclined to start fights to prove our mettle, but aggression will only set us back. Forcing a situation out of stubborn pride can ultimately thwart our own progress. Today’s challenges expose our difficult relationship with self-ownership. Control is what we desire, yet, we might not realize that self-control is foundational to building a fruitful enterprise. When we harness our energy to work for ourselves and not against others, we access our true power.
