As the sun moves through Aquarius, things perk up in your relationships, bringing a brilliant opportunity to partner up, meet new people, and connect. But the start of February does have its drama: On February 1, Mars squares off with Pluto, bringing a big shake-up to your schedule and finding you dealing with some short tempers and big egos. Things are moving very quickly, and when Mars and Pluto, the two planets of war, clash, things get very heated—even in cool Aquarius season! Stay out of power struggles. Bring in a third party to help mediate; people are less likely to be conniving if someone is watching.
