Hopefully you\u2019re beginning to feel some resolution for whatever was building to a head with last night\u2019s Cancer Full Moon, though it may take a while for any tension to dissolve appreciably. We\u2019re still in the midst of the Venus-Mars square (exact at 12:12 pm EST today); plus, we\u2019re heading into the last couple days of the Sun in Capricorn, which may add a slight edginess of its own.<\/p>\n

First, Venus-Mars. Venus is retrograde in Capricorn and Mars is in direct motion (for now) in Libra. This is the goddess of love and beauty at odds with the god of war and libido, and it begs the question: is all truly fair in love and war?<\/p>\n

Do you even know which side of that equation you\u2019re working right now?<\/p>\n

With Venus and Mars in mixed reception (Mars is in a sign rules by Venus; Venus is in a sign where Mars is exalted) the tone of each planet\u2019s energy has taken on shades of the sign where it is placed.<\/p>\n

All might not be as clear as usual in terms of identifying what you want, how to get it, and your role in a relationship. That includes how your inner feminine and inner masculine sides are relating to each other; as in, the balance between assertiveness and receptivity. You may have seen some of this play out in external relationships this week, but with the Full Moon past, whatever you\u2019re struggling with might be more clearly identified as internal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Sun is preparing to leave Capricorn. It will ingress Aquarius, the next-to-last sign of the zodiac, at 10:51 pm EST Sunday. Aquarius is often associated with forward-thinking technological breakthroughs, but they\u2019re the kind that stick — so if you\u2019re feeling as though you need to get clear on something in your life or take a particular step in just the right way, you may be sensing this impending shift in energy.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have a waning Virgo Moon this weekend as the Sun finishes up in Capricorn. If any of your New Year\u2019s resolutions had to do with clearing space, getting organized or dealing with specifics, tune into the Moon and get hands-on about it. In preparing your physical space, you also prepare your mind, your mood and your energetic body to be open to something new coming in.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have more about the Sun in Aquarius to begin next week. For now, consider the ways in which the spark of innovation, when Aquarius is involved, can not only gain traction, but become crystallized and entrenched. Society has a way of co-opting the individual; Aquarius is all about maintaining individual identity within a group, and recognizing that individuation in others. Perhaps that\u2019s partly where this sign gets its humanitarian soul.<\/p>\n
