This means that on Friday, it's time for relationships to get real as each astrological sign is encouraged to talk about what hurts. This planetary transit creates the need to communicate a difficult subject or topic. Feeling your emotions can be challenging; you may feel misunderstood by your partner, yet that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to express them.
Mercury in Libra can also reflect a desire to keep everything the same and surface-level, which is the opposite of what Chiron seeks to do. Don’t let your fear of having a challenging conversation make you miss an opportunity to establish greater depth in your relationship. Through you and your partner talking about the hurt you’ve been through, you can heal and learn how to love one another better.
The Universe Is Sending You A Message Today

Aries

There is no such thing as overcommunicating in a relationship, beautiful Aries. You have experienced a great deal in your romantic life, not only betrayals but also general toxicity, which you may still be carrying with you.
Today’s energy represents a meaningful conversation between you and your partner where you let yourself be fully vulnerable with them about how you’re feeling and what you’ve been through.
You don’t need to seem like the perfect partner, but only be your true self, to continue to heal.
Taurus

Not every thought is to be trusted, Taurus. There has been a great deal of pain in your romantic past. Perhaps someone cheated on you and destroyed your trust in others.
As you work on your healing, subconscious fears may resurface today. This will create a feeling of paranoia about a current love interest and your fear that they are hiding the same secrets your ex did.
Try not to let yourself get caught up in this cycle, and be honest with your partner about the ways you are currently being triggered. This is a part of the healing process, but you must share it with the person in your life.
Gemini

Truth is different from gossip, dearest Gemini. You have individuals in your life who are working behind your back to sabotage your relationship. These people may even call themselves friends, but they are starting rumors about your current partner that just aren’t true.
Whether it’s involving their readiness to commit or how they’ve been stepping out on you, be sure to separate truth from hearsay and address this head-on with your partner.
Once you know the truth, you can also change the access that those who were looking to sabotage you have in your life.
Cancer

Don’t overlook what is right in front of you, Cancer. You are so afraid that your relationship will turn out like they have in the past that you’re not seeing how much you have to be grateful for.
Just because past partners were jealous of your success doesn’t mean that this new person wants to dim your light.
Be willing to have an honest conversation with them about these fears, as well as what you need from them to continue focusing on your dreams. Having a conversation can make all the difference, especially in this case.
Leo

Lean into the purpose, sweet Leo. Whether positive or negative, everything that you’ve been through in your life has served a higher purpose for the path of your soul.
You don’t become who you’re destined to by having everything be easy. Instead, you were meant to experience challenges in your life to shape you into the person who can accomplish all your dreams.
Rather than shut down on your partner or pretend everything is fine, talk to them about what has been going through your mind. This conversation will help you develop a better understanding of your path and why this person is meant to be in your life.
Virgo

You are lacking nothing, Virgo. A fear of scarcity has permeated your life and impacted your romantic relationships. Whether there was a genuine financial concern or if it was linked to not meeting social standards, it has taken a toll on matters of the heart.
The wounding centered around lack may have begun in financial terms, but it has extended to what you receive and how you are loved in a relationship. It’s time to confront these feelings within yourself and be an advocate for what you know you deserve.
Libra

You are not your wounds, beautiful Libra. As one of the lovers of the zodiac, you want nothing more than a peaceful and fulfilling romantic partnership.
However, up to this point, all that you’ve attracted have been karmic lessons mirroring your own childhood wounds. Because of this, you’ve accumulated romantic trauma that is affecting how you see yourself.
You are not your wounds, and it’s not your responsibility to take the ending of a relationship onto yourself as a failure. Focus on yourself today and release the emotional burdens you’ve been carrying.
Scorpio

You have to address what hurts, Scorpio. Your intuition has been leading you to address the hurt that you’ve been harboring inside. While it is difficult because you don’t want to jeopardize this new beginning or dredge up the past, it is necessary.
There is someone you’ve recently reconnected with who carries a long and complicated past. While a new beginning is possible with this person, you both need to have a proper sit-down to discuss everything.
Don’t just gloss over what has happened, but let yourself speak on it, as that is truly the only way to start anew.
Sagittarius

Don’t give someone else the power to make decisions for your life, Sagittarius. You have always craved a unique relationship, and because of that, commitment isn’t the end-all be-all for you.
Yet, something that began to shift within yourself, where suddenly you’re not as against marriage as you previously were. This is you stepping into your own space and power, but you need to protect it.
There are friends and family around you who may try to control the choices you make for yourself, especially concerning a particular person. Be mindful of letting others choose your forever love for you.
Capricorn

It’s not your job to do it all, Capricorn. Be mindful of your boundaries today, as matters within your home and relationship may feel challenging to manage.
Rather than this leading to a conversation with your partner, you may need to renegotiate your duties or work hours to resolve the situation.
A trigger is a valid feeling as it arises when you are finally ready to heal the root of what hurts. Rather than trying to go through your day as planned, be sure you’re not trying to do it all. Give your personal life and healing the attention they deserve.
Aquarius

Give yourself time to process everything, Aquarius. When you are ready to start discussing the future, you can’t just snap your fingers and expect your partner to oblige.
Instead, it’s about understanding that as much as you’re in a relationship together, you’re also two separate individuals.
This won’t change, no matter how your connection progresses. While you’ve been figuring out how to plan for the future and what kind of life you even want, your partner has been doing the same.
Open the space for discussion today without necessarily needing a definitive answer in this moment.
Pisces

You are worthy of a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love, Pisces. You are the romantic of the zodiac, and because of that, you’ve always held grand ideals when it comes to love.
As much as there have been opportunities for a healthy and exciting relationship, you haven’t yet seized an offer. Instead, you’ve been cycling through karmic relationships in an effort to learn your own value. Today marks a monumental moment in your journey to discover your own worth.
You will meet someone today or receive an offer that will require you to know that you deserve it. Be mindful of all your feelings, but choose from a place of healing, not one that wounds.
