The holidays aren’t always the easiest time for people in relationships. There are always some pretty high expectations. You need to pick out the perfect gift, and you need to plan a romantic date, and you need to get a picture in front of that giant tree in Rockefeller Center…you know the drill. It’s tough to be single during the holidays, but it’s also tough to have a significant other. It seems like you just can’t win…and right now, the universe isn’t helping with that. On November 30, Venus forms a square aspect with Uranus, which has the potential to make a big impact on your relationship. If your bond is strong and healthy, you’ll probably pull through just fine, but if not, be prepared for some rough days and tough choices. Here’s what you can expect:
- You’ll feel an increased need for freedom and struggle with the idea of being “tied down.”
People hate to think of their relationship as something that ties them down. Many understand that it’s a necessary sacrifice-yes, you lose some of the freedoms you had while single, but if you love the person, it’s totally worth it. But this aspect can cause you to question that, and you might feel extremely restless, or even trapped. Make sure to discuss any feelings like this with your partner-do NOT turn to cheating.
- You might want to experiment in the bedroom.
One way to shake that feeling of being stuck? Try something new! It could be going on a date somewhere totally different, or it could be something a little more on the sensual side. You can’t let your relationship get stuck in a rut and just expect things to fix themselves. Use your imagination and make a conscious effort to try something different, whatever that may be. It can help you work through those negative feelings.
- Pay close attention to your partner’s needs.
Do you think you’re the only one feeling the effects of the cosmos right now? Well, you’d be wrong-your partner might be experiencing some very similar emotions, so don’t ignore their feelings. Now is definitely the time for a heart to heart and a little soul searching on both sides. If you’re struggling, you’ll need to be open and honest with each other to get through it. It might seem easier to just shove your feelings under, but in the long run, doing the dirty work of talking it out will be better for both of you.
- You might be attracted to different people than usual.
If you’re single, you might notice that your “type” doesn’t seem like your type anymore. You may go out of your way to find people that really challenge you and your preconceived ideas about love. Don’t throw yourself at someone just because they’re different, but do stay open to anyone who makes you question things. Being open minded and getting to know new people is good, and this experience can have a long term impact on your perspective.
