Two weeks after returning for what is normally a 14 to 15 day visit to your romantic sector and a mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, instead of leaving Mercury has the brakes on. Before turning retrograde in seven days, Mercury will need to come to a standstill, slowing things down and taking away the urgency. Instead of rushing through, Mercury is here until September.

The retrograde turn that saw the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment retrograde back into your relationship sector two months after leaving, ends today. With support from the Sun in your communication sector and not leaving again until October, this marks a turning point where after three months of looking back, as Juno turns direct, you can start looking to the future again.

Still separating from a friendly aspect to Pluto in an adventurous part of your chart earlier in the week Venus, the planet of love’s first week in Gemini is about to get another boost when the Moon returns there tomorrow. It is over the weekend that the spirit of romance and adventure is going to come together again, with your heart’s over the horizon radar already on alert.

As much as today’s Full Moon in your relationship sector, something that at some point during your birthday month will always put a balance between your own and your relationship needs under pressure, with two huge differences this year. For the first time in 16 years, there are no planets in your relationship sector to hold onto any tension, while you have Mars in your communication sector. This is just what Mars’ war on communication barriers has been waiting for.

It is just as the Moon is drawing closer to its return to your relationship sector tomorrow, that two weeks after returning for what is normally a 14 to 15 day visit that instead of getting ready to leave Mercury, the planet of communication has the brakes on. Heading into his final seven days in direct motion, this sets the scene for a retrograde turn that will keep Mercury here and the communication lines are open until September.

While a Full Moon in your romantic sector is a given at around this time each year, for the first time in 16 years there are no planets here to back this up or to keep the spirit of romance that it can jumpstart alive. While you do have the support of Mars, the passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos in Virgo, before the influence of this romantically charged Full Moon runs its course, it needs to be captured.

As much as a Full Moon is putting your work/life balance to the test, the timing couldn’t be better. Even if the working week is keeping you busy, just being aware is important. A day before the Moon returns for its only visit to your romantic sector while Venus, the planet of love is in an adventurous part of your chart and with the stars dialling up a special weekend for friendship and relationship building, this is the right reminder at the right time.

While a Full Moon will always fall in your communication sector at around this time each year and has the additional weight that can push through communication and/or relationship breakthrough, for the first time in 16 years with no planets here to keep the momentum going. With six years of planetary activity on the relationship front having ended earlier in the week, this is one year when a chance to get the communication lines open needs to be seized.

At the same time that all five planets in your romantic sector are slowing down in order to turn retrograde, Mercury moves into his final seven days in direct motion in an adventurous part of your chart. Mercury is already entwined with the five planets in your romantic sector and while this has already brought the spirit of romance and adventure together, with a chance to take advantage of the doors opening to the past.

While the Full Moon in Capricorn that at some point during the Sun’s month long visit to your relationship sector and at the halfway point in your solar year can put a balance between your own and your relationship needs under pressure, with some big differences this time. With no planets in Capricorn, there is nothing for any personal and/or relationship tension to hold onto while support from the communication gods is kicking in.

With one planet already in retrograde motion in your communication sector and the other four slowing in order to turn retrograde, it is only fitting that Mercury, the planet of communication should join them. As Mercury moves into his final seven days in direct motion in your relationship sector, he is already forging a close connection with the planets in your communication sector and that is set to increase over the coming weeks.

At some point during the Sun’s month long visit to your romantic sector, he will come under pressure from a Full Moon and while not challenging, this is a Full Moon that can increase your social demands and responsibilities. The difference this time is how temporary this is, making this a valuable chance to take a closer look at any roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined.
