Sunday, APRIL 21

Today’s Libra Moon puts balancing and harmonizing on our minds. Fortunately, Venus aligns with Chiron this morning, and it’s a time to express compassion or forgiveness. We may feel drawn to problem areas so that we can repair them. We more readily see the beauty in human weaknesses as well as the pain of growing, healing, and restoring. It’s a solid time to build trust in relationships and see each other’s potential, although the process might feel challenging in spots.

With the Sun and Pluto forming a square today, however, putting our trust in others (or in life/the process) can be difficult as the day advances. This aspect, possibly through discord, helps us identify areas of over-attachment. We might clash with those in authority, or we’re frustrated as our sense of responsibility or fear of loss in our social lives conflicts with our personal plans or sense of security. We may act compulsively and find it difficult to let go and unwind.

Positively, circumstances can push us to discover our own power — power that comes from a strong sense of self rather than superficial energy derived from manipulating people into doing what we want them to do. It’s best to aim for self-control now.

It’s important to avoid trying to force matters that should naturally take time to unfold. We should also watch for a bit of paranoia or suspicion that works against us. This aspect can bring fears and buried matter to the surface.
