A day after the Moon left your relationship sector, something that has left you emotionally engaged and aware and better able to draw on the support of the planets in your communication sector, the Sun returns to your romantic sector. While this is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto matters of the heart, it is to find lucky Jupiter not only already here, but ready to push through old roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined.

The Moon is not only in your relationship sector as the Sun leaves your relationship sector today but just as Mercury, the planet of communication has reached his last full day in retrograde motion here. While the Moon will stay on until just after Mercury turns direct tomorrow, their friendly aspect today is a chance to make the most of an opportunity to give your emotional responses, relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.

A day before the Moon is due to return for its monthly visit to your relationship sector, the Sun’s return to your communication sector is a chance to get into position to ensure the communication lines are open from the start. At the same time that there is a call to hold onto the spirit of romance after the Moon left your romantic sector yesterday, as the Sun joins Jupiter in your communication sector today, it’s time to get serious about having the communication lines open.

That the Moon is not only in your romantic sector as the Sun leaves Cancer today, but during the North Node’s final days in an adventurous part of your chart, is bringing your birthday month to a close on a positive note. As well as bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together having the Sun, Moon and North Node in harmony is a chance to look to the future with confidence.

In a week when all the focus has been on your relationships and that will continue to be the case, the Moon’s departure from your communication sector yesterday couldn’t have been more important. While its return to your romantic sector tomorrow will set the scene for a romantically charged end to the week and especially over the weekend, for now it is more about keeping the communication lines open.

The Moon’s last visit to your communication sector before the lunar nodes leave and end their 18 month policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs is a chance to go into this with the communication lines open. Helping with that is the Moon’s friendly aspect to Mercury, just as in his last full day in retrograde motion, the planet of communication is making it easier to give the past and unsaid words a voice.

Jupiter is just starting to separate from a friendly aspect to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams, in retrograde motion in your relationship sector, when the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos turns retrograde here today. With Saturn turning retrograde here next week, a day after the Moon left Libra where it has spent the previous few days clashed with all three planets in your relationship sector, this has gotten your attention just as the doors are opening to the past.

The Moon is still in Scorpio but separating from its friendly aspect to the North Node in your romantic sector yesterday, when the Moon leaves an adventurous part of your chart today. With the North Node just four days away from leaving your romantic sector, the Moon’s friendly aspect to Mercury, in his last full day in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart, is helping to hold onto a mix of romance, adventure and nostalgia.

It is just as the Sun joins Jupiter in an adventurous part of your chart and while he is just starting to separate from a friendly aspect to Neptune, in retrograde motion in your romantic sector that the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos turns retrograde there today. With Neptune already in retrograde motion and Saturn turning retrograde here next week, at the same time that the spirit of romance and adventure is coming together, the doors are opening to the past and second chances.

While the Sun’s departure from your relationship sector today is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift off your relationships, just as Mercury, the planet of communication has reached his last full day in retrograde motion here. While still focused on giving your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice, had Mercury not turned retrograde he would be long gone by now. Instead, as the Sun moves on, he will not only stay, but until Mars and the dwarf planet Eris return next month to take over.

By the time the Sun returns to your relationship sector today, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your relationships, Jupiter has already spent the last few days clashed with the two planets in Aquarius and a friendly aspect to Neptune in your communication sector. This is putting everything out in the open, including the support from the planets in your communication sector from the start.

As the Sun leaves your romantic sector, something that at this time each year the solar spotlight will always shift off matters of the heart, Mercury will not only stay on but is spending his last full day in retrograde motion here at a friendly aspect to the Moon as it passes through an adventurous part of your chart. With the Sun gone and with it, for now, a need to look to the future, this is a chance to more fully embrace a mix of romance, adventure and nostalgia.
