Love: Unexpected and Unpredictable!

This weekend’s electric Venus-Uranus aspect brings a few surprises into our romantic lives. Venus is the love goddess, ruling attraction, romance, affection and relationships. Uranus is the god of chaos and change. Under this rare combination, you can expect the unexpected in love.

Being flexible and spontaneous is key now, so don’t feel like you have to stick to a plan or schedule things in advance. Boldly express your feelings. Honesty is a great aphrodisiac and Venus-Uranus together inspire the confidence to speak up.

If you’re single, suspend judgement about who you think you should be with, and let your heart inspire your actions. Random encounters can be meaningful under this influence, and it’s quite possible someone special will walk into your life.

If you’re in a relationship, it’s time to throw out old routines in the romance department and bring on the new and exciting. This Venus-Uranus aspect encourages experimenting to spice up your relationship. If you always eat in together, head out somewhere new, or stay in and cook if you usually go out. The trick is to flip love around so things you normally avoid, you do, and what you normally do, you avoid -- for now!

Uranus is an energy that inspires independence and freedom, so if you’re in a long-term relationship, time apart may be the best way to deepen your connection with your lover. Under this influence, absence really can make the heart grow fonder.

This aspect with Venus and Uranus only occurs once a year -- take a risk! Play a different role in love, just for a couple of days. Trying something new will boost your confidence and show you that change in love can actually be a good thing.

If you were born March 22–24, June 23–25, September 25–27 or December 24– 26 this influence has special meaning for you.
