Venus and Pluto can intensify your conversations

Libra, this Tuesday, October 20, Venus forms a square with Pluto and can make your relationships more intense. A simple conversation could turn into an argument if someone interprets your words as criticism or a demand. Before responding, reread the message and remove any phrase that sounds like reproach.

With your SOULMATE or with someone close, you might notice insistent questions about where you were or with whom you spoke. There's no need to turn the situation into an interrogation or to respond with another accusation. Explain what information you're willing to share and change the subject if the conversation starts to repeat without moving forward.

Don’t turn a shared expense into a dispute

The square between Venus and Pluto can also bring out annoyances related to money. It's possible that someone takes a long time to pay you back or assumes you will pay a bill that doesn't correspond to you. Check the exact amount and send a specific message with the date when you need to receive your share.

If you are going to book a dinner, a short trip, or an activity with more people, confirm beforehand how the cost will be divided. Someone might choose the more expensive option thinking everyone agrees. Propose two alternatives and put in writing which one you have chosen to avoid later arguments.

Avoid competing to have the last word

At JOB, a conversation about responsibilities can take on a struggle-for-control tone. You might encounter someone who presents your idea as if it were their own or who tries to correct you in front of the group. Save the messages and documents that demonstrate your contribution, but don't interrupt the meeting to start a confrontation.

If you need to claim recognition, talk afterwards with the right person and mention specific dates, tasks, and results. Don't threaten to abandon a project or announce a complaint while you’re angry. A brief and documented explanation will have more strength than a reply thrown in to hurt.

Organize a meeting without depending on others’ punctuality

If a family member is always late, arrange to meet a bit earlier or make it clear what time you need to leave. Today you could get more irritated than usual if the wait disrupts other plans or forces you to cancel an activity. Send both the meeting time and deadline in the same message so there are no misunderstandings.

If you spend the afternoon at home doing nothing, take the opportunity to go for a walk before the day ends. You don’t need to plan a special route or find company to move for twenty minutes. That CHANGE of scenery can help you not to check your phone continuously while you wait for a response.

End the day by lowering the intensity

If you usually have coffee late in the afternoon, today try to skip that last one. The tension of Venus with Pluto can make you prolong conversations, arguments, or tasks until very late, and caffeine would make it harder to disconnect. Replace it with water or a caffeine-free drink and set a specific time to put down the phone.

Before going to bed, if you have lots of photos or screenshots you no longer need, delete some while you have a few free minutes. Start with duplicates, old receipts, and screenshots of conversations already resolved. Don’t try to organize your entire gallery: just free up a small space and save separately any image you might need.
