  • Venus in Aries square Juno Rx in Capricorn: 17 degrees
  • Pluto Rx in Capricorn square Pallas in Aries: 19 degrees

This is the third and final square between Venus in Aries and Juno in Capricorn. Previously, we had Venus squaring Juno at 0 degrees (February 3rd) and Venus Rx squaring Juno at 10 degrees (March 14th)

The crisis of relationship impulses challenging established rules has been with us for a few months, and now it’s reaching completion.

The basics of what you want clash with creative/romantic devotion. Maybe you’re so focused on the special thing that you get bogged down in financial details, or the possessive tyranny of ownership. Fixating on something/someone special can shut down creative possibilities, if all you think about is “He/she’s mine” or “Will others appreciate how much I paid for this?”
