You may find your one-to-one relationships gaining a touch of extra zing this year, whether that involves meeting exciting new people or getting some pep injected into current connections. Variety being known for its relish, visiting some unfamiliar places or trying a different hobby will almost certainly encourage a sense of freshness. The thing to remember is that any particular change you wish to foster can start within you; you can set an example for those around you to follow if they wish.

With the Moon entering Aries in the wee hours this morning, the day could be marked by especially impulsive responses and behaviors — whether yours, or those of people you’re interacting with. Tomorrow’s Full Moon (opposite the Libra Sun) won’t be exact until that evening; but with Aries and Libra signifying ‘the individual’ and ‘relationships’, you can expect any situation to be amplified where those concepts are central.
This is on top of today’s opposition between Venus (love, emotions, relationships) in Scorpio and Uranus (surprises, upsets, awakening) in Taurus. Remember that encountering the unexpected in a relationship (especially one that’s set in its ways) can actually be refreshing, invigorating and conducive to rekindling passion. Of course, shocks to perceived stability can also exacerbate tensions and anxieties; more so if the people involved have been ignoring certain matters that have gotten stale, stuck or were left on autopilot for too long.
If you’re partnered, can you seek out some new stimulation together, and appreciate each other’s zest for life, curiosity and willingness to grow? Adventures that feed the individual soul also foster a greater sense of inner abundance; and this can be shared openly with others to mutual benefit.

It’s such an important time when we can experience life on our own terms, instead of being with someone or having someone’s experience influencing ours. To be free to have that aloneness can bring such refreshment and self nourishment, like, to take a long walk in nature alone. We can find who we are before any relationships were formed and responsibilities established. We fill our cup once again so that we can have something to give from its overflow.
Exactly, Daniel. Last year I took a trip overseas on my own; it had been many years since I’d done so. And while my partner is an excellent travel companion, it was so incredibly nourishing to my soul to reconnect with who I am as a solo traveler, and to have that space and time to explore inwardly and outwardly completely on my own. As you say, filling my cup and having more to give from its overflow. So important.
How lovely, Amanda! Good for you.
