It has been a big seven days on the romantic and relationship fronts, with the Moon having wrapped up a New Moon in your romantic sector over the weekend and just yesterday, its last visit to your relationship sector before Mars returns next week. With the Sun not leaving your romantic sector for another three weeks and Mercury still in retrograde motion there, there is a stunning month stretching out in front of you on both the romantic and relationship fronts.

As the Moon makes its ordinary monthly visit to your relationship sector, it will be to find that almost everything has changed. For the first time in six years, there are no planets in Taurus to clash with. Instead, with the asteroid Juno back in direct motion here and in Venus, the planet of love in her early days in your communication sector, she is on hand to give your heart and your relationships a voice.

In between the Moon’s departure from your romantic sector yesterday and its return to your relationship sector tomorrow, holding onto the influence of the romantically charged lunar vibes of the last few days was always going to be the priority. Your relationships can wait for the Moon’s return tomorrow, while the Moon has left you with everything needed to line up for Mars’ return to your romantic sector next week.

Having the Moon move through your romantic sector during Venus, the planet of love’s early days in Cancer is not the only positive impact on these romantically charged lunar vibes. This first visit since the asteroid Juno turned direct and with old roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined behind you, there is a chance to look to the future with confidence.

In the lead up to the Moon’s return to your romantic sector tomorrow Venus, the planet of love is surrounded by support as she settles into her early days in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart. This is helping to get the nostalgic trip down love’s memory lane Venus is taking your heart on ahead of her return to Leo later in the month off to a positive start.

After a friendly aspect to Venus, the planet of love yesterday, the Moon’s monthly visit to your communication sector will not only see it align with the asteroid Juno here, but while forming a friendly aspect to the North Node in your relationship sector. This first visit since Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships turned direct is a chance to look to the future with confidence and the communication lines open.

A day after the Moon left Libra, something that over the last few days saw it clash with all five planets in your relationship sector, there is a chance to unpack the messages delivered when it comes to a balance between your own and your relationship needs. By this time next week Mars will be starting to do the same and with four of the five planets in your relationship sector in retrograde motion, with a chance to not only reflect on the last few days but with the doors open to the past and second chances.

For the first time in six years, the Moon is able to move through Scorpio with no planets in your relationship sector for it to clash with. Instead, at a friendly aspect to the North Node in your romantic sector and during Venus, the planet of love’s early days in an adventurous part of your chart, this is highlighting a coming together of the spirit of romance and adventure that will continue all month.

With four of the five planets in your romantic sector in retrograde motion, the doors are opening to the past, just as Saturn and Neptune have begun a rare two week alignment. With both in retrograde motion, this is a coming together of resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn Neptune’s old dreams into reality, all while the doors are opening to the past and second chances.

Still in her early days in your relationship sector Venus, the planet of love is taking advantage of the Moon’s friendly aspect to Jupiter here and to the North Node in your communication sector. With Venus set to spend the coming weeks closely aligned with both, a positive day on the communication and relationship fronts today is a taste of things to come.

As the Sun moves into his final three weeks in your relationship sector, he is well clear of his clash with Pluto in Aquarius this time last week. With Pluto stationed at the very start of Aquarius, any planet returning to your relationship sector is going to very quickly clash but then move on, this time with the Sun’s solar spotlight making a balance between your own and your relationship needs more apparent.

At the same time that Mars is heading into his last weekend in your relationship sector, the Sun is still three weeks away from returning to put the solar spotlight on your relationships. Knowing that the reality checks can come later, Mars’ final days are more about having something to fight for or to feel passionate about, even if you don’t know the when, where and how.
