On both your own and on the relationship front, the gauntlet has been thrown down, with each side eyeing the other and saying, 'bring it on'. Even before the lunar nodes returned at the end of last month to begin their 18 month policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs and the Full Moon in Aquarius that delivered the same message, this was already something you would have been aware of since as far back as Venus, the planet of love's return to your relationship sector in early June. With Pluto, the planet of change and transformation now in Aquarius until 2044, no planet can return to your relationship sector without clashing, though only briefly.
Pluto is your champion, determined to ensure that any focus on your relationships is not at the expense of your own needs. While Venus has long since moved on, when Jupiter returned to your relationship sector for the first time in over a decade, this presented a bigger challenge, for instead of passing through, he is here now until July 2027. While Jupiter and Pluto clashed last month and the Sun did the same when he returned to your relationship sector late last month, as you move into your biggest relationship year in over a decade, as each planet returns, the message from Pluto is the same.
While a balance between your own and your relationship needs will continue to be monitored, it is because you are becoming more personally empowered. Helping with that is having the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in Aquarius, who will be using this to help define your personal intentions and resolutions and when it comes to what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Also helping is the support of the three planets in your communication sector, who will be here right through to when the last planet finally leaves in your relationship sector, in the second half of 2027.
