The current chart is loaded with powerful aspects, and there's a good bit of balance to what's occurring. The Sun is connecting with Pluto, which can drive people to make necessary changes. There can be a little anxiety about certain things, and not everything will go the way you want, but at least right now, you're still going to have a little bit of control over situations. As time goes on, Pluto will be operating more independently, and there it's more likely to cause things you'd rather avoid. So the idea today is to be a little more active in shaping the future you're looking for.

We also have the Mars-Venus-Node Grand Trine, though it's weakening a little. It'll still be a pretty good time for relationships, and you can get things moving in a direction you prefer. There's also going to be some opportunities for financial improvement as well, and you'll feel motivated to take advantage of them.

At the same time, there's some challenging aspects hiding below the surface that can rear their ugly heads at times when you aren't fully ready for them. You shouldn't expect things to be a walk in the park (especially with Saturn still connecting to the Sun and Pluto), but the key is to ride the waves. When you're feeling up and things are going your way, you need to be productive. You have to see progress during these times. When the intensity ramps up a bit and things start to seem a little out of your control, try to maintain composure as much as possible and weather any storms that come along. It's tricky energy that requires you to stay on your toes, but keep a positive mindset and focus on what you can do to improve a tough situation, even if it might not make a big dent at the moment. Best of luck.

In your mind, you can easily visualize some of the changes you'd like to see in your life. These might focus on the romantic areas of life, in addition to anywhere where you're in a leadership position. But vision and truth are separate things, so don't become too enamored with the way things are in your head. Instead, you should be using the present energy to bridge the gap between the world you want to see, and the one that presently is. It might take a bunch of work to do that, but the closer you bring the two, the happier you'll generally be.
