Your Love Life May be about to take A New Twist! Venus Enters "Independent" Aquarius; Mars Enters "Receptive" Pisces!

Love and relationships take on a new twist and your traditional ideas about home-life, money and relationships may go out the window. Venus, the feminine energy of the Universe enters "Unconventional" Aquarius. Venus in Aquarius encourages a need for freedom and independence in relationships. Quirky desires and strong desire to spend more time alone may be felt. Simultaneously, you will prefer the "candid" approach, and your expectations for honesty and integrity will escalate. Malicious liars, game players and tricksters will be tossed by the wayside. 

To throw us all spinning in a loop; Mars, the Masculine energy of the Universe, enters "Nurturing" Pisces. Role reversals in male-female dynamics is likely because Venus represents the feminine energy but Aquarius is masculine, whereas Mars is masculine and Pisces is feminine. Pisces is emotionally sensitive, introverted, nurturing and sympathetic. Aquarius is sociable, intellectual, yet cool, detached and unpredictable. This overall mish-mosh of energy could create turmoil, disorganization, and confusion in relationships. Getting anything accomplished may be difficult. Although seemingly detached, Aquarius energy encourages activities that help humanity at large. Both signs are spiritual, visionary dreamers, highly creative, musically talented, intuitive, peace-loving, and inclined to put the needs of others' before themselves. Volunteering for the local "Soup Kitchen" or "Habitat for Humanity" are key examples. However, the energy of both signs can propel a person to spend so much time in their head thinking and dreaming that nothing gets accomplished! There needs to be strong influences of earth and fire elements in other planetary transits or in one's natal chart. Do things to "ground" your energy!

 Venus remains in Aquarius thru February 25th.  The Sun and Mercury are also in the sign of Aquarius amplifying this energy. Mars remains in Pisces thru March 12th, placing a strong emphasis on "big dreams," nostalgia, trances and prophetic dreams. This is a great time for bolstering anything that has a creative aspect: music, arts, and writing come to fore. Spiritual quests, meditation, and searching for your soul purpose will be very productive during this time. If you are Not in a committed relationship, it may be hard to pin one down during this time. A great way to bolster any relationship or friendship at this time is volunteering for a "group cause" together!
