That chance happens at the New Moon, and Monday&#8217;s <b>New Moon in Libra<\/b> is not just symbolic about relationships (which Libra is famous for having a particular focus on), but it also gives you a chance to break free from someone or something. Maybe you need to dismiss the ghost of an old relationship before you move on, or maybe something you&#8217;re doing (or not doing) has been holding your love life back. Either way, this <b>New Moon is square Pluto<\/b>, so extreme acts of making up or breaking up will be more possible than usual.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I&#8217;m particularly urging you to make a conscious, deliberate move in your love life is that the week is dominated by <b>Venus square Mars<\/b>, which is exact Wednesday night. Venus in Scorpio has more of a reputation for getting what it wants than for applying wisdom or subtlety to its desires. Since <b>Venus is still retrograde<\/b>, this can involve attachments (or obstacles) from your past, or some other form of emotional unfinished business. If this is an issue with you currently, the ongoing <b>Uranus square the Nodes<\/b> can help you break free if you give things a little push. Don&#8217;t let past wounds dictate future injuries. If that isn&#8217;t an issue now, brace yourself for possible unexpected contact from an ex anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mars in Aquarius is certainly a dynamic placement, making for new and interesting sexual energy and ideas, but you can&#8217;t quite count on that alone to lead the way. Monday&#8217;s <b>New Moon is trine Mars<\/b>, which makes the month ahead more energetic&#8230; but an energetic Mars doesn&#8217;t always choose wisely. With Venus and Mars pushing each other to action via the square aspect between them, you could have a great time in bed this week. Just, please, make sure you&#8217;re in that bed with the right person &#8212; even if it&#8217;s just yourself.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend dating scene offers both possibilities for breaking patterns and choosing new ones that are more solid and reliable. <b>Sun square Pluto<\/b> (exact on Friday) may have you and those close to you feeling a little damaged and vulnerable, and that may lead you into some old traps that involve propping up your Ego in unwise ways. Fortunately, <b>Mercury sextile Saturn<\/b> lends some logic to the proceedings. That&#8217;s (probably) a good thing if you&#8217;re starting up with someone new, because (both literally and figuratively) things that are planted near the New Moon often have a better than average chance of taking root and growing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use the sexual energy of Venus square Mars wisely!<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/?p=93702\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[],"tags":[4157,650],"class_list":["post-93702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-featured","tag-forecast"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pekXVE-onk","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=93702"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":93721,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93702\/revisions\/93721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=93702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=93702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=93702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
