Sun/Juno implies tension between one partner’s purpose (to preserve) vs the other’s desire for freedom. Taurus and Aquarius are Fixed signs so the stubborn goal to possess (Taurus) is matched by the stubborn drive for independence (Aquarius). This can turn into an ego battle – the relationship agreement has reached a turning point.
Mercury/Jupiter is big, bold words and thoughts. Information triggers excitement and there can be fiery promises made in the heat of the moment. But after the impulse has cooled, will the words mean anything? Don’t confuse optimism with reality- make sure you can follow through or they can follow up.
Venus/Neptune is gentle magic in the areas of relationships, money, creativity or values. There are a couple of choices and both have possibilities you may not have considered. Happiness lies in your ability to accept shades of grey (they can be beautiful shades) as one option fades into the next and messages are inviting but not necessarily a sign of commitment. Observe all with curiosity and consider that a moment of sweetness is just as important as something more concrete.
