Relationships and the sky of the moment |

When we understand that we are part of a collective, of an era, and that we are products of that moment, it becomes easier to place ourselves in our life paths and personal decisions. When we look at the sky, we find a symbology that portrays the current circumstances and helps us to better prepare for what comes around.

Currently, the sky is quite tense, at a time that marks a new cycle in the constant transformations of human relationships. Today we will talk specifically about intimate and loving relationships.

To begin with, what heavenly context is this?

Pluto, the lord of transformation, purification, control and detachment, is found in the sign of Capricorn, which represents our role in the world, ambition, status and conventions. He has been getting a tense (not exact) aspect from Saturn, located in the sign of Libra today. Saturn speaks of limitation, conservation, structuring and restriction, and Libra is the sign of interpersonal relationships, balance, harmonization, consideration, but it is also linked to superficiality and the world of appearances.

Uranus now enters this context forming tense aspects with Pluto and Saturn. Uranus is a planet whose characteristics are liberation, rupture, awakening, seeking newness, unpredictability and rebelliousness, and the sign of Aries in which it is found speaks of impulse, the self, self-will, selfishness and self-assertion of the will.

What does this result in?

To begin with, Uranus in Aries awakens individualism. If you repress it, it explodes, breaks, disappears. Saturn in Libra, on the other hand, symbolizes the personal need to preserve and maintain existing relationships, often motivated simply by keeping up appearances.

Ruptures X Peace: irritation with the other’s actions, lack of tolerance, feeling of “not taking it anymore” versus peace often at any price, putting a hot towel on important issues and avoiding necessary discussions to improve the relationship. It can also manifest as one partner constantly exploding over anything, and the other submitting and accepting just to avoid further conflict.
Expression of Personal Truth X Superficiality: where the need for self-expression arises, to act as your heart dictates and not just according to conventions. Everything that is established only as a way of life, without a personal truth as a basis, will be threatened.
Increased Individualism X Need for Relationship and Collaboration: many people can be driven to just do what they want and follow their impulses, totally disregarding (and often disrespecting) the other’s desires and emotional needs. The desire for freedom will be high in some, while “the other side” will demand commitment in the relationship, demanding partnership and team spirit.

What is the teaching of the moment?

It is necessary to seek the essence, the internal values ​​and not the external ones, imposed by the social environment. The Pluto placement shows that social values ​​are slowly being refined. Much of what we know today as socially appropriate or accepted will be outdated in a few years. We are in those “trigger” moments of intense social changes in the behavior of the population, where habits are being reassessed and taboos are being overthrown. Thus, it is always necessary to seek the essential values. It will only find resonance and support that which is not anchored in prejudice, dogma and fear.

What are the challenges?

Learning to reconcile the will of the “I” with the will of the “other” (my freedom ends where that of others begins – the end of living with double standards). In terms of giving in: learning to discern what is essential for you from what represents growth.

Relationships are great teachers, as they always show, through mirrors, what we need to resolve in ourselves. Each one must seek to find out where the fine line is between evolving through a relationship or losing character through it. This is a very personal and intimate truth, the measure is in each one. It is necessary to know yourself well and have a good sense of self-criticism to be able to make this type of assessment in situations where our desires and wishes are confronted. You must ask yourself: What is essential in me? What do I think is essential but is just clinging to a model of self? What must be worked on for me to evolve as a human being? Only you can answer that by looking at yourself.

In summary, we have the following conflicting situations:

Individuality and exacerbated outbursts. Attempt at all costs to avoid a clash – resulting in imposed peace and stability. Existing social structures moving towards a maximum level of petrification, before finally collapsing, being peeled off and their structure profoundly modified.

What are the trends?

Before the essentials are revealed, there will probably be an attempt to return to the rigid and old models – however, those who remain alone in the world of social appearances and do not accept the individuality of others will break down. As for marriages and courtships of appearance or convenience, a great effort will be made to preserve them before they end.

The need for preservation and control versus the impulse for renewal will result in ruptures in relationships, either due to the inability to conciliate or due to the perception of wear and tear in the relationship. In cases of social pressure, the relationship may even be maintained, but it will not resist for long.

However, the relationships that go through a true purification and stoning, have their conflicts exposed and clarified, and are based on a true feeling, will not only be maintained, but will start to operate at a much higher and rewarding level.
