At 2:03 a.m.: Juno is square Neptune

In the pre-dawn hours, Juno in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces, confusing where we stand in our commitments. We are unsure of what we want, and our lack of clarity poses difficulties within our established partnerships. There may be a good deal of overcompensating going on at this time, and each party might act in self-effacing ways to smooth over communication difficulties. Under this astrological weather, it’s wise to remember that as much as we want to assume otherwise, there is no such thing as “unconditional love.” Love is about understanding and respecting each others’ conditions. If we are blind to them under the auspice of “compassion,” we miss out on opportunities for legitimate connection.

At 5:12 a.m.: The sun is square Pluto

In the morning, the Libra sun squares off with Pluto in Capricorn, offering a chance to transform our circumstances. This transit stimulates power struggles and tests our ability to remain diplomatic in the face of extremes. Influential people or forces may attempt to assert dominance to maintain control, but autocratic actions belie their own fears, which might not be our own. Although we can be sucked into the gravitational pull of their anxieties, we must seek to differentiate what is true for ourselves and remain tactful during adversarial moments to empower ourselves.
