The distinction between friends and lovers may be tested early this year, for sweet Venus in impulsive Aries spends most of February, March, April and May in your 11th House of Groups and Friends. Threats to your emotional well-being can provoke powerful interactions with others during these months, creating crucial relationship turning points when Venus squares intense Pluto on February 5, April 5 and May 2. Romance may come more easily as Venus moves through your sign on July 6August 1, but her opposition to Pluto on August 2as with her squares earlier in the yearcan once again bring up difficult issues. Serious Saturn enters Libra and your 5th House of Romance on October 30, where it remains for a couple of years. Settling down into practical and enduring relationships will become top priority.

Overall Trends
Finding the balance between stability and change is a major theme this year. Your characteristic flexibility is put to the test as outer events shake you out of old or stuck patterns that no longer serve you. Don't be afraid to make a break with the past, but move slowly and cautiously rather than acting on impulse. Your challenge is to achieve a greater sense of both freedom and security.

This is a great year for breaking free from unhealthy habits and improving your self-care routines. Physical activity is particularly important, as you have a tendency to get caught up in your mind and forget you have a body. Incorporating even a short walk into your daily schedule can go a long way toward alleviating stress and enhancing an overall sense of well-being. February and March are especially favorable times for taking action.
