Love With a Twist

This is a strange period for you, because there are elements of sweetness that can enrich your relationships, mixed in with strangeness and alienation. The good stuff starts with Venus, the planet of love, in your sign until March 12. This gives you eleven juicy days when others are likely to see you in the brightest possible light. Connecting with someone new should be easier, and being appreciated in a current relationship is likely as well. The Sun and Moon join together in super-sensitive Pisces on March 7, which isn't usually your cup of tea: too sentimental and sticky for your taste. But this New Moon is joined by your innovative ruling planet Uranus to give it the kind of twist that you like.

Instead of the clinginess and predictable emotional dramas that you do your best to avoid, Uranus brings surprises that can radically change the shape of a partnership. Freedom comes from looking at an old situation in a totally new way. Inventing a means to maintain a current commitment without being bored or smothered is possible. Seeing yourself from a fresh perspective can awaken a sense of enthusiasm that helps you seek relationships with new hope. The Full Moon on March 21 is hooked up with deep, dark Pluto, stirring your soul and bringing old issues to the surface. Power struggles are possible, yet the real issue is for you to be clearer about what (and who) you desire. A tough decision may be coming soon.
