If you are involved in a sexual relationship, this period is a time of heightened passion and aggression. This combination can represent the start of "love hate" relationships. In normally smooth relationships, this can be a period when you have more petty bickering than usual. Social events and parties that you attend or host will tend to be rowdy and out of control. Occasionally it might even turn violent. Jeolousy and possessiveness can be a significant issue. This can be a creative period for artists.
