The Stars This Week: September 24-30, 2012

Conflict!

Sometimes it's easy to get everyone working together ... but this is not one of those weeks! On September 27, Venus squares Mars, when tensions surface in your most important relationships. The Libra Sun then forms a major T-square aspect with Uranus and Pluto on September 29, at which point it becomes clear that changes need to be made to your life. Later that same day, take care to not overreact as the full Moon in warrior Aries heightens emotions!

September 27: Venus squares Mars
This square between the planets of love (Venus) and desire (Mars) demonstrates that these two entities clearly do not see eye-to-eye. Venus in bold, showy Leo loves to be the center of attention; Mars in intensely private Scorpio doesn't like to spill any secrets. At the same time, sometimes the person you like is not necessarily the person you desire -- it's just one of life's messy conundrums. This square can either spice things up or cause problems, and you're certain to learn where things are headed by the end of the week!

September 29: The Sun opposes Uranus and squares Pluto
Last week, Mercury in Libra connected with the Uranus-Pluto square, a transit that certainly heated conversations up! This week, the Sun makes the same contacts, prompting confrontations that ask you to make profound changes to your life. Are you willing to modify your plans and goals? Do yourself a favor by moving out of routines -- and ruts -- to try something new. This aspect highlights situations that aren't good for you or may be extra-challenging ... but hopefully you'll know what to do if you take time to think things through.

September 29: Full Moon in Aries
This dynamic, feisty full Moon -- with unpredictable Uranus conjuncting the Moon, and both the Sun and Moon squaring Pluto -- shines a spotlight on recent messages you've received about transforming your life into something that feels more authentic. At its best, Aries is courageous and pioneering, and you'll be able to move mountains if you use the bold energy of this sign and the passion of the full Moon to not only advance yourself, but advocate for others. Your challenge will be to not argue or run roughshod over anyone who disagrees with you!
