You might spend more of your leisure time learning and sharing ideas. Your sense of the bigger picture helps you thrive, and you have the feeling that you’re making your luck and creating your success. Today, the Sun and Mars head toward alignment in your relationship sector. This influence can be about you getting the courage to make changes or take action in a partnership. Conflicts are possible, particularly if you don’t know where to direct excess energy. On the other hand, pairing up to get something done can come naturally and can be very stimulating.
