While a friendly aspect between Mars in your romantic sector and Saturn in Aries that peaked yesterday is starting to separate and the Moon, who has spent the last few days at a friendly aspect to both leaves an adventurous part of your chart today, the impact is going to linger. After nearly three weeks in your romantic sector, Mars’ romantic passions and fighting spirit are at their peak and it’s going to stay that way until he leaves at the end of November.

At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is not only already in retrograde motion in your relationship sector but will retrograde back out at the end of next week, Mercury moves into his final seven days in direct motion. There is a link between the two, with Mercury’s retrograde turn a day before Venus leaves keeping the planet of communication here and the focus on your relationships going until Venus returns in December. Together they’ve got this.

As the Moon leaves your relationship sector, as well as leaving you more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware, this first encounter with Mars since he returned to your communication sector comes just as he is now in peak form. Buoyed by a friendly aspect to Saturn that peaked yesterday, there is nothing stopping the warrior planet of the cosmos’ war on communication roadblocks and barriers and your relationships are benefiting from this.

It is just as the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment not only moves into her final seven days in your relationship sector, but of all planetary activity on the relationship front until the Sun returns just before Christmas, the Moon returns. While only here for a few days, the Moon’s return is both a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware and to start typing up your intentions and resolutions on the relationship front.

At the same time that Pluto is settling into his first full day back in direct motion in your relationship sector and for the first time since earlier in the year is looking to the future, the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment is just seven days away from returning. After nearly five months, in August Juno retrograded back out, but with Pluto now looking to the future, she is on her way back and ready to do the same.

Just in time for the weekend, the Moon not only returns to your romantic sector but just as the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment moves into her final seven days. As well as setting the scene for a romantically charged weekend, romantically charged lunar vibes will come with Juno’s resolve to follow your heart and with the intentions and resolutions she is working to leave you with.

At the same time that Pluto is settling into his first full day back in direct motion in your romantic sector, the Moon is just two days away and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment is seven days away from returning to spend the rest of the year here. With things waking up on the romantic front, no wonder Venus, the planet of love is in retrograde motion and on her way back to Libra for a do over.

In a case of perfect timing, the Moon not only returns for its monthly visit to your communication sector today but just as the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment moves into her final seven days. As well as making it easier to express yourself and give your emotional responses a voice, something your relationships will benefit from, the Moon returns in time to capture Juno’s resolve to not just get the communication lines open but keep them open.

While a friendly aspect between Mars in an adventurous part of your chart and Saturn in your romantic sector that peaked yesterday is starting to separate, they will be holding hands for some time. While Mars is pure passion and impulsiveness and Saturn is all discipline and self control, a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure comes with the right balance between the two.

While they have never been directly at odds and won’t be, since in August the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment retrograded back into Capricorn and a day later the dwarf planet Ceres returned to your relationship sector, they have been keeping each other in check. While Ceres is not only here until May 2027 but has growing support from the planets in your communication sector, the Moon’s return to Capricorn just as Juno moves into her final days is a chance to lock in a balance between your own and your relationship needs.

While a friendly aspect between Mars in your relationship sector and Saturn in your communication sector that peaked yesterday will slowly start to separate, the accent is on the word slowly. With Saturn already in retrograde motion and Mars slowing ahead of a retrograde turn that will not only extend his stay in your relationship sector until the end of November and then see him return in February, this is more the forging of a partnership that can keep the communication lines open on the relationship front.

While Venus, the planet of love will retrograde back out of an adventurous part of your chart at the end of next week, as Mercury moves into his final seven days in direct motion here, he is already getting into position to take over. Along with the dwarf planet Ceres in your romantic sector and the Sun’s return to an adventurous part of your chart next week, Venus’ mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together will remain in safe hands.
