With the Moon still in an adventurous part of your chart and still separating from its friendly aspect to the Sun and Mercury in your romantic sector yesterday, there is still a strong sense of romance, adventure and nostalgia in the air. With Mercury in retrograde motion but turning direct next week, this is encouraging you to make the most of the doors open to the past and second chances. Two days before Mars is due to return to your relationship sector, the focus is still on matters of the heart.

As she settles into her first full week in your communication sector Venus, the planet of love hasn’t just benefited from having had the Moon move through your relationship sector over the weekend. This was the Moon’s first visit since the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment turned direct in your relationship sector and before Venus can connect with her directly next week, this has gotten her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice off to a positive start.

With the Moon still in your relationship sector after its clash with Uranus in Gemini when it returned two days ago and then its friendly aspect to the Sun and Mercury, the planet of communication in your communication sector yesterday, today brings a chance to blend the two. As well as more aware of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, this leaves you better able to give your emotional responses and relationships a voice.

Ahead of the Moon’s return to your relationship sector tomorrow, there is a chance to take advantage of Mars’ final days in your communication sector and of his war on communication barriers. While this will put the Moon and Mars on the same page, a clash with the planets in Cancer might push some buttons, but with a chance to get the communication lines open ahead of time.

While today’s romantically charged lunar vibes are having to compete with the new working week, fortunately they have friends in high places. With life taking a busier turn from tomorrow, the Moon’s friendly aspect to the Sun and Mercury yesterday and to three of the five planets in an adventurous part of your chart today is making its monthly visit to your romantic sector a lot more potent.

While it was over the weekend that the Moon briefly brought some work/life balance reminders or tension, with the Moon returning to your romantic sector tomorrow this was the right reminder at the right time. With some of the most romantically charged days of the month having to compete with what can be the busiest part of any week, this has been a reminder to put some guardrails in place.

Knowing that by the weekend Mars will not only be in Libra but starting to clash with the planets in your relationship sector, having the Moon in your communication sector is a chance to get the communication lines open ahead of time. When Mars returns, he is going to police a balance between your own and your relationship needs, with the more you can go into this with the communication lines open the better.

Thanks to having the Moon in Scorpio over the weekend, on both the romantic and relationship fronts there will be a sense that something has shifted. With no planets in your relationship sector for the Moon to clash with, there was no tension, though with a built in sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. At the same time, this saw the Moon lock into the spirit of romance and adventure that is on the rise.

Four of the five planets in your romantic sector are already in retrograde motion when the dwarf planet Ceres moves into her final seven days in direct motion here today. As the Moon makes its monthly visit to Sagittarius, it is making a friendly aspect to Ceres but also to the planets already in retrograde motion, giving you a chance to look to the future and the past with confidence.

As she settles into her first full week in your relationship sector, Venus is going through a honeymoon period, where so far there has been nothing but support. During the 26 days that the planet of love will spend in your relationship sector she will only face one hurdle and that is coming up tomorrow, with the Moon’s return to Capricorn. It is support from the communication gods that allows you to go into this with the communication lines open.

The Moon is still separating from its friendly aspect to the Sun and Mercury, the planet of communication in your relationship sector yesterday, as it forms another to three of the five planets in your communication sector today. With Mercury and four of the five planets in your communication sector all in retrograde motion, ahead of a Full Moon later in the week that could put a balance between your own and your relationship needs under pressure, this is a chance to get the communication lines open ahead of time, including giving the past and unsaid words a voice.

At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is settling into her first full week in your romantic sector, she also moves into her final three weeks here today. Venus isn’t here for long, but by this time next week she will be aligned with lucky Jupiter and on the way to forming a friendly aspect to planets in an adventurous part of your chart. You had a taste of things to come when the Moon did the same over the weekend.
