Sexual problems can also be discussed in a dispassionate and helpful way. Everyone wants to be understood, and your ability to listen and understand even without someone explaining to you in words of one syllable will enhance love and the bond you have together.

Driving factors that you have not been aware of, but which are dictating the course of the relationship can come to light now and be recognized and dealt with. The sexual side of both new and old relationships is important as there is an increased intensity and desire.

With Venus in Pisces conjunct Neptune, sex is more than just sex this week – it is an avenue for self-transformation and self-expression as it can relax you and help you to open up.

Taurus: Retrace your steps

Events in relationships this week can alert you to the fact that your love life has become unbalanced with you giving too much, and with your partner expecting too much at your expense. 

In new relationships, a sudden shyness can take over, and the relationship can go backwards a few paces. This need not be a bad thing, and you must remember that relationships are dynamic, and they have a certain unpredictability to them which makes them a great mystery, and also the source of wonderful excitement and self-discovery.

Gemini: True friends and your mission as a couple

With your ruler conjunct Pluto, this is an excellent week for addressing health issues and establishing lifestyle changes to improve wellbeing, work life balance and thus to free energy for love and affection. It’s a great time for a shred or detox.

With Mercury Conjunct Pluto, things reach a head in relationships, there are some tensions, but you can’t sweep things under the carpet. It’s important to deal timeously and decisively with any issues that rear their heads in your relationship.

Honestly and straightforwardness are important in your love life, don’t beat around the bush. Couples who have a mission and something to accomplish work well together this week and will succeed.

Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces is an indication that this is a time when you and your partner will enjoy the company of your mutual friends, and there will be many fun get-togethers with couples with whom you have been friends for many years.

This can also be a period when you and your partner enjoy hobnobbing with the in-crowd or going to the HOT places where the ‘beautiful people’ hang out – do not delude yourself, these are not your friends, remember who your real friends are.

Cancer: Streetcar named desire

Mercury conjunct Pluto in your solar eighth house means this is a great time for love, date nights, intimacy and sexual creativity. New relationships that begin can become intense very quickly.

During this week, you may undergo a process of self-discovery and empowerment as you confront hidden aspects of your personality and face situations romantically that may feel a little karmic.

Everything happens for a reason right now, don’t think it’s random, seek the meaning and you will gain valuable insight. Love requires you to relinquish outdated mindsets or beliefs.

In marriage, financial issues can trigger power struggles, which could lead to reevaluation of you priorities or most important goals as a couple. In existing relationships and marriages, you may stir things up quite unconsciously in order to take things to a new level by disrupting the equilibrium.

You may be accused by your partner of looking for arguments, but you are really eager to get deeper conversation going as Venus conjunct Neptune Pisces is provocative. You need to find constructive ways of engaging with your partner about deeper and more sensitive subjects – don’t be argumentative or create tension in order to get around to saying what is on your mind: perhaps read books or see movies that are about the topic you want to talk about and use that as a springboard.

Leo: Clear the deck

With Mercury conjunct Pluto, this week is a good one for clearing out your basement or yard, having garage sales and redecorating with a view to reinvigorating your family life and perhaps entertaining too.

Clear outs and tidying up serve a purpose emotionally too as you can create a brand new perspective and fresh feeling to underpin any new resolutions or agreements you and a partner have made to do things differently.

Greater harmony can be established within the family, but forgiveness and an effort to cooperate on practical matters is also important. This is a time for discussions and then burying the hatchet.

Ego and financial status or material wealth are very much connected this week, and you do not want to make a bad financial decision because your ego got in the way – which is why caution is needed as some decisions may be ego not fact driven.

Often your impulsive reactions to a situation are in contrast to what you consciously aimed to do, and the result can mean you taking a different direction quite suddenly.

Emotions and irritations can flare up quite quickly from nowhere, and it will be hard for you to keep a lid on them. You can be rather defensive and touchy right now, and this is not a good time for cool-headed decision-making. This is, however, a good week for dealing with things which have actually been bugging you for a while.

Navigating this week’s transits involves finding a balance between expressing affection and seeking harmony in relationships while also attending to personal emotional needs and self-care.

Virgo: Banter

Relationships are very important to you this week, and you are eager to chat and engage intellectually with your loved one. Intellectual stimulation and loyalty are the most important things to a Virgo, and with Mercury conjunct Pluto you really want to get that banter and witty conversation going. You will be the one to take the lead in your relationship whether that is deciding on what you do on the weekend or initiating lovemaking.

With Mercury Conjunct Pluto and Venus conjunct Saturn, you will have more interactions or conversations than usual with your partner and these can be feisty and creative, so approach all communication with a problem solving attitude as this is a great time to create clarity in your relationship.

This week may signal the beginning of a new partnership, but it’s likely to be a relationship that starts with you guys not really liking each other but being sparring partners or even competitors.

You are likely to attract someone who stands up to you or pushes you to achieve more, and relationship can be quite important as a positive catalyst to change as it brings out your assertive side.

Libra: Going incommunicado

As Venus in Pisces is conjunct Neptune, this has the potential to be a wonderful time in love partnerships if you can just switch off from the mundane hassles and escape to a bubble of calm where romance and love can thrive.

This is definitely a week where you and your partner need to say, “OK what is important here and what isn’t; let’s cut the garbage out of our lives, blow some people off, take off the phone and have each other all to ourselves!”

We often get bogged down in obligations and engagements that offer us nothing – focus on what you both really enjoy doing, and please each other, not anyone else…

Although Mercury is conjunct Pluto, it is important not to be too critical or worried about the details, you need to manage your stress level or that can cause arguments in relationships. While Libra are always direct and diplomatic, you just need more understanding of your partner’s boundaries as truth isn’t the only factor, loyalty is huge.

There can be some inner tensions and conflicts related to how you express your desires, affections, and values, but while there can be moments of self-doubt, difficulties in maintaining harmony in relationships, or a struggle to find balance between your personal needs and those of our loved ones, it’s actually easier to overcome these that you think because you have a spark of inspiration mentally giving you the ideas and focus to create harmony and get a great deal of enjoyment from the week.

There’s an excellent opportunity for personal growth and understanding. The energies this week encourage you to confront and resolve underlying issues within yourself and your relationships, leading to greater self-awareness and the potential for positive transformation in how you approach love and connection with others.

Scorpio: Mental Strength

Mercury conjunct Pluto brings a boost of self-confidence, personal power increases, and there are new opportunities for self-expression and identity development, leading to you attracting better relationships. It’s also a great time to use the power of attraction, so work hard at positive thinking.

There’s enormous potential for personal development and growth, but that can make you slightly less compromising in marriage and relationships. Venus conjunct Saturn encourages a search for deeper meaning and understanding, leading to a more spontaneous and fulfilling emotional life.

This is a week however when the Pisces Venus heralds things coming together for friendship and fun – if you have been trying to get your friends all together for a good time out and everyone has been busy or occupied, now is the time when all your plans for fun, recreation and entertainment come together.

You may manage to nab those tickets for a hot concert or perhaps a sporting event which you have been itching to attend. The creative juices are flowing, which will also assist you in completing any creative or arty projects which you have. You may travel to compete in sport, and you are very strategically minded, which is great for sports that have a strong mental strength element.

Sagittarius: Creativity and Discovery

Mercury conjunction Pluto brings degree of tension and mental anxiety which can make having long discussions and emotionally charged debate difficult. It’s better to avoid lengthy conversations or higher sentimental romantic dates as they just annoy and frustrate you.

You may find it challenging to articulate your thoughts or express yourself accurately in relationships during this week. Your perception of reality may be blurred, and you could be more susceptible to deception or wishful thinking. A heightened sensitivity, makes it essential to be mindful of boundaries to avoid being overly influenced by others.

Your heightened creativity, spiritual exploration, and a deeper understanding of your subconscious mind, could lead to a better use of your intuition and imagination in your approach to problem-solving and communication in love.

Striking a home life balance is far easier this week with Mars trine Cancer and everyone is a winner. Some of the things you chose to do with your children will be driven by your need to re-live your own childhood and can bring you much closer to your family.

There is a strong need to feel that your relationship is growing and evolving – if you are in a relationship where you feel that nothing can change, nothing can get better and that there is nothing towards which you are both striving, then maybe you will have to question the future for you both.

You may have recently moved home to somewhere new to you (new town or country), and the sense of adventure may be just what you need to bring you and your partner closer together in a sense of discovery.

Capricorn: Embrace unique expression

Mars in Cancer trine Saturn means you can really benefit and learn from the differences and different strengths your partner has as opposed to you. This is not a period when you will want to be alone or go off on your own to do things; you want to be with your partner or lover as much as possible and share experiences together.

If your partner is away or you are single, you will feel rather lonely and may be constantly texting or Skyping him and if you are single you will be ringing up friends to go out socially.

For single Capricorn, this is a wonderful time to start a promising new romance. Although you are feeling rather empty when you are alone, you have a strong need to be part of a pair and to have someone with you to relate to and bounce ideas off – if alone you may feel isolated and moody. Relationships and doing things with your partner (new or old) is the tonic you need right now.

You may feel restless and dissatisfied with traditional expressions of love and affection. It’s ideal to seek excitement and novelty in your relationships and you may be drawn to unconventional or unorthodox partners. This week can lead to a period of self-discovery and a reevaluation of personal values and desires.

With Mercury conjunction Pluto in Aquarius, there are challenges in maintaining stability and security in relationships, but this opens doors to liberating and transformative experiences. Break free from limiting patterns and embrace your unique expression of love and creativity.

Aquarius: Truth paradox

With Mercury conjunction Pluto in Aquarius, you may get good news about your career prospects, even if you are quite happy with what you are doing, a new offer could make you question everything. If you are in the public eye in any way, you can increase public recognition, your social media reach and establish opportunities for professional advancement and success.

With Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces, keeping promises and being discreet is very important this week. You have to know when the truth is actually not what is needed, and you must respect the deeper issues at stake.

You may have to be rather controlled and disciplined now and getting what you want will need some sacrifice and hard work – you may have to forgo something you really would love to buy in order to save money, or perhaps you will need to pass up an opportunity to socialize in order to put in more work at the office. Finances will tend to dictate your life somewhat, but you need to stay focused on the goal as you can make some excellent progress workwise.

It’s essential to confront any underlying anger or aggression constructively, avoiding unnecessary conflicts or impulsiveness. Use this week to understand your purpose in life and how your relationship helps or doesn’t help you achieve that. Use diplomacy to engineer new understanding and get compromise in relationships so that you aren’t stifled but can soar to new heights.

Pisces: Plummeting the depths 

As Venus conjuncts Neptune in your sign, strong emotions and intensity of feeling can make relationships both passionate and rocky this week. However as Mercury is conjunct Pluto as well, you are not in a compromising mood, and you will not let things lie, which can lead to heated debates especially when it comes to money issues and matters of principle.

However, much of your passion is driven by strength of feeling and commitment to making the relationship work. You are very protective and will react strongly to any perceived threat to your happiness or your family.

You may subconsciously try and stir things up in the relationship as a way of gaging the depth of feeling of your partner. Jealousy from both sides is an issue this week, so is control and subtle mind games – once in a while we all play these, but it is not your style, and it makes you uncomfortable.

With Pluto conjunct the ruler of your solar 7th, personal interactions will be highly charged during this week and you’re likely to be more direct and intense in your approach to men.

You’re very competitive and have a need to win, be first and be the best in whatever you’re doing, but should have a little self-awareness, so that your energy is attracting the right responses from your partner not rubbing them up the wrong way.

Use this week to fire up your life with new ideas and plans which can reenergize your relationship and set out a brand new vision for the rest of the year.

Summary

While Mercury conjunct Pluto can be a challenging aspect, it also offers an opportunity for self-discipline, patience, and perseverance. It encourages individuals to reevaluate their ambitions and strategies, focusing on long-term goals rather than immediate gratification.

During this Venus conjunct Neptune and New Moon week, it’s essential to confront any underlying anger or aggression constructively, avoiding unnecessary conflicts or impulsiveness. By channeling Mercury Pluto energy in a disciplined manner, you can overcome obstacles and build a stronger foundation for your aspirations.
