For the second time this year, Mars leaves your romantic sector today, but unlike when he retrograded back out in the New Year, he won’t be returning to start over. Instead, it will take the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos until the very end of 2026 to circle back but for now, having spent five of the last seven months doing what he can to fuel your romantic passions and fighting spirit.

Just as the focus should be on the new working week, held back by a retrograde phase Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos finally returns to your romantic sector today. Held back by her own retrograde phase and late to return as well, Mars returns to find Venus, the planet of love in Taurus, long after she should have left. Welcome to the start of some of the most romantically charged weeks of 2025.

On both sides, the impact from last week’s Full Moon in your relationship sector and the pressure this may have put on you and your relationships this has already turned into an advantage. It was the Moon’s friendly aspect to Mars in your communication sector as it moved through that has given the warrior planet of the cosmos something to give a voice to. Until leaving today, Mars’ war on communication barriers is helping to give anything flushed out by last week’s Full Moon a voice.

Just as Mercury, the planet of communication is reaching the heart of his short 18 day visit to Cancer, his efforts to get the communication lines open gets a massive boost as Mars returns to your communication sector today. While Mercury only returned to Cancer last week but will leave later next week, this is the start of Mars’ nearly two month war on communication barriers, which your relationships will benefit from.

Before leaving your relationship sector today, the Moon will spend its final hours clashed with Mars, who will leave Leo just a few hours later. With the Moon and Mars both fleeing the scene of the crime there will be nothing for any personal and/or relationship tension this might create to hold onto. Instead, this is going to leave you with an understanding and an appreciation of the importance of a balance between your own and your relationship needs.

While this won’t be the case when the Moon comes full circle and returns to your relationship sector next month, its return today before Mars can return to Virgo 12 hours later means they won’t clash. Instead, this first visit since the last planet left your relationship sector will be a valuable chance to check in, become more emotionally engaged and aware and take advantage of the rising communication support.

Until the Moon leaves your romantic sector today, it is continuing to separate from its friendly aspect to the Sun in an adventurous part of your chart that peaked yesterday. As well as bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together just as life is already taking a busier turn, after clashing as a Full Moon last week, with the Sun and Moon back in harmony there will be a renewed sense of confidence and optimism.

Working week or not, as the Moon returns for its monthly visit to your romantic sector, a friendly aspect to Jupiter a week after his return to an adventurous part of your chart gives these romantically charged lunar vibes a lot more clout. While over the next few days this will bring the spirit of romance and adventure together, with the North Node in your romantic sector throughout Jupiter’s 12 month visit to an adventurous part of your chart, this is set to hang around.

A week on from a Full Moon in Sagittarius that saw the Moon clash with the Sun in your relationship sector, putting a balance between your own and your relationship needs to the test, the conditions couldn’t be more different. As the Moon leaves your communication sector, a friendly aspect to the Sun in his final days in your relationship sector has put them back in harmony while helping to jumpstart the communication lines.

Seven days after Jupiter returned to your relationship sector and into your biggest relationship year in over a decade, the Moon returns to your communication sector and into a friendly aspect. With Mercury, the planet of communication nearing the halfway point in his short 18 day visit to your relationship sector, this is giving him the kind of backup that is going to make his job of getting the communication lines open a lot easier.

Before leaving Aquarius today, the Moon will spend its final hours clashed with Mars, just before it is about to leave your relationship sector as well. In the final hours of Mars’ longest visit in two decades this might put a last minute squeeze on a balance between your own and your relationship needs, but just as the warrior planet of the cosmos is working to leave you with something you can keep fighting for.

Seven days after Jupiter returned to your romantic sector to begin your luckiest year for love, matters of the heart and all things romantic in over a decade, Mars returns to begin his first visit to your relationship sector in two years. With Venus, the planet of love still in your communication sector, all of a sudden you have the love, communication and relationship gods all with their A team on the field.
