This is a transitional year in relationships as Pluto starts to leave your 7th House of Partnerships, which it entered in 1995. The planet of transformation dips its toe into your 8th House of Intimacy from January 25 to March 23, and returns there for good on November 26. This is a long-term process that will deepen your connections to others. Powerful Pluto compels a reexamination of what you're getting from your partner in return for what you give. This raises the stakes in the game of love, making it less playful but potentially much more satisfying. Jupiter, the ruler of your 7th House, in serious Capricorn, underscores the importance of purpose and commitment to shared goals in partnerships. This optimistic planet's easy sextiles with inventive Uranus on March 28, May 21 and November 12 denote positive periods of unexpected changes that can recharge an ongoing union with a fresh perspective or connect you with someone new.
