Having begun the week at a friendly aspect, they might be separating, but as Mercury, the planet of communication settles into his first full day in your relationship sector and Uranus, his first in retrograde motion in your communication sector, there is a chance for the dust to settle. With the Moon having both stirred things up and left you more emotionally engaged and aware and until the Sun returns to your relationship sector next week, it is all about having the communication lines open.

Still separating from a friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Ceres in your communication sector yesterday, the Moon’s first visit to your relationship sector since Venus, the planet of love returned has it connecting with Mars there today. While Mars will leave in 12 days and it is Venus and Ceres that will work together for most of the year to keep the communication lines open, it is Mars who can push through roadblocks and barriers for them.

With the Moon having moved through, the Sun not returning until next week and for now having made all the aspects he’s going to make, Mercury is able to quietly settle into his first full week in your romantic sector. Having taken over from where Venus, the planet of love left off last week, Mercury’s focus is on giving your heart a voice and putting heart and mind on the same page.

At the same time that the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment has reached her last full day in retrograde motion in your relationship sector, the Moon’s first visit to your romantic sector since Venus returned has it form a friendly aspect to Mars in Cancer today. While this is creating a bridge between the planets of love and passion, just as Juno is using hindsight to help you reframe your relationship intentions and resolutions.

While work/life balance reminders or tension late last week and again at the start of this week are behind you and they won’t be repeated, it is important that they aren’t forgotten. Before the Moon returns to your romantic sector tomorrow, this allows for some future proofing. In the meantime, as he settles into his first full week in your communication sector and still separating from a friendly aspect to Pluto in your relationship sector over the weekend, Mercury is making it all about having the communication lines open.

At a standstill and in her last full day in retrograde motion in your romantic sector the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment is giving you a chance to pause as you use hindsight to revise your romantic intentions and resolutions. When Juno left in March, it should have been four years before she returned but instead, a retrograde turn has given you a rare chance for a do over when it comes to the intentions set earlier in the year.

While as the planet of communication, as he settles into his first full week in Libra Mercury’s sole focus is on getting the communication lines open, since returning he has also connected with planets on the romantic and adventurous fronts. With the Moon returning to your communication sector tomorrow and Chiron, the planet of healing retrograding back into your relationship sector a day later, Mercury will soon be called into action.

At the same time that the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships has reached her last full day in retrograde motion in your relationship sector Chiron, the planet of healing is just two days away from retrograding back out of your relationship sector. While Juno will stay on until later next month, today is all about giving your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.

At the same time that in her first full week in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart Venus, the planet of love is taking your heart on a nostalgic trip down love’s memory lane while all planets on the romantic and relationship fronts are in retrograde motion, there is one more to come. In two days Chiron, the planet of healing will retrograde back into your romantic sector, giving you a sense that you are still waiting for something.

As the Moon continues its first visit to a social and serendipitous part of your chart since Venus, the planet of love returned, it forms a friendly aspect to Mars in your relationship sector today. It was yesterday that the Moon formed the same aspect to the dwarf planet Ceres there, the planet that will work most closely with Venus for the rest of the year. With Mars just 12 days away from leaving, this creates more urgency when it comes to fighting for what you want from your relationships.

That Mercury is spending his first full week in an adventurous part of your chart just as Uranus is spending his first in retrograde motion in your romantic sector is a timely coincidence. Still separating from a friendly aspect that peaked two days ago, after Venus left last week, this is keeping the legacy of the planet of love’s mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together alive, though with the doors now open to the past and second chances.

While Venus will be spending the majority of her extended visit to an adventurous part of your chart with the support of the dwarf planet Ceres in your romantic sector, it is the Moon’s friendly aspect to Mars there today that is able to fire up a mix of romance, passion and adventure. With Mars leaving your romantic sector in 12 days but Venus, the planet of love just settling into her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together, this is giving both a boost.
