In between the Moon’s departure from your romantic sector yesterday and its return to your relationship sector tomorrow, there is a need to pause and fully capture the spirit of romance before moving on. Events over the last 10 days have left your romantic and relationship sectors empty, but while your relationships can wait, the spirit of romance can’t.

As the Moon makes its first visit to your romantic sector for the year and since the South Node returned last weekend, the spirit of romance and adventure is already coming together. It is a friendly aspect to Mercury in an adventurous part of your chart that gets the ball rolling, but it is tomorrow when the Moon connects with both the Sun and South Node that this will peak. Already this has set the scene for a romantically charged weekend.

Ahead of the Moon’s return for its first visit to your romantic sector for the year and since the South Node left tomorrow, there is a chance to both take advantage of any work/life balance reminders and focus on having the communication lines open. It was the Moon’s departure from your communication sector yesterday, the first since Mars left, that has given the communication lines an additional push.

What a difference a few days can make. Not only has the Moon’s return to your communication sector put it back in harmony with the Sun in your relationship sector after clashing as a Full Moon earlier in the week, but just as other tensions are already dialling back. A friendly aspect to Mercury, the planet of communication in your relationship sector is doubling the resources when it comes to getting the communication lines open.

Before the Moon returns for its first visit to your communication sector for the year tomorrow, there is a chance to first process the message behind any buttons its transit through Leo may have pushed on the relationship front over the last few days. By giving the emotional fog of war time to clear, you will be ready when the Moon returns to get the communication lines open.

As the Moon makes its first visit to Virgo for the year, as is the case with each monthly visit this puts it at a friendly aspect to planets in your romantic sector while clashing with those in your relationship sector. You can’t pick and choose, for by just focusing on one you miss out on the other. While embracing the spirit of romance is important, so too is the window this is giving you into a balance between your own and your relationship needs.

With the Sun just two days away from joining an already formidable line up of planets in your romantic sector, the Moon’s first visit to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and its monthly reminder when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off couldn’t be more important. Before the solar spotlight shifts onto matters of the heart there is a chance to first make your life as love friendly as possible.

As a clash between Uranus in your relationship sector and the asteroid Juno in Scorpio that peaked yesterday starts to separate, it is the Moon that is helping to turn things around. Where this has flushed out any issues, the Moon’s friendly aspect to Uranus and to Mercury, the planet of communication in your communication sector is helping to give this a voice.

Before leaving an adventurous part of your chart yesterday, the Moon had spent its final 24 hours closely aligned with the dwarf planet Eris in your romantic sector. It was just seven days ago that the warrior planet of the cosmos turned direct and after the North Node left a day later, she is the planet now carrying the romantic torch. Thanks to the Moon this has added additional fuel to a mix of romance, passion and adventure that Mars had been promoting since leaving last week.

The Moon’s first visit to an adventurous part of your chart for the year is not only the first since the South Node returned last weekend but the last while Uranus is in retrograde motion in your romantic sector. While they won’t connect directly until just before the Moon leaves tomorrow, a mix of romance, adventure and nostalgia is giving you the confidence to embrace the doors still open to the past and second chances.

A day after the Moon left your relationship sector and wrapped up both its first visit for the year and since Mars left last week, there is a chance to let any strong emotional responses settle and the fog of war from its clash with the planets in Aquarius clear. The more you can let the emotional wave move through the easier it will be to understand the message behind it.

At the same time that the Moon is making its first visit to your relationship sector for the year and since the South Node returned last weekend, this concludes what began with starting the week with the Moon in your romantic sector. These are the first of several the Moon will make during Venus, the planet of love’s extended transit through Pisces, making her job of updating your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year easier.
