On the other side of one of the most powerful Full Moons of the year, on both the romantic and relationship fronts you will be starting to appreciate the benefits. It was the Moon’s friendly aspect to planets on the communication and relationship fronts that has helped to forge a link that will remain strong while on the romantic front, where there was a headwind there is now the resolve to follow your heart.

With the Sun just two days away from your romantic sector and from turning the solar spotlight onto matters of the heart Venus, the planet of love is using these final days on her own to work her magic. While the spirit of romance might have to compete with the working week, this is something that the right work/life balance can fix.

While they are both working to ensure the communication lines are open, in his final days in your communication sector the Sun is looking to the future while in retrograde motion Mercury, the planet of communication is more focused on giving the past and unsaid words a voice. Meanwhile ahead of Venus, the planet of love’s return to your romantic sector next week the time to start making your work/life balance a priority is now.

While separating from their friendly aspect last week there is still a strong bond between Venus, the planet of love in her last full week in your communication sector and the dwarf planet Ceres, in her final days in retrograde motion in your relationship sector. With Pluto returning to your relationship sector in 12 days, Venus’ mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice is more important than ever.

When the Moon left your relationship sector yesterday, this brought the Full Moon here to an end and with it the pressure this may have had on you and your relationships. Yet as well as leaving you with a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, support from the communication gods is making it easier to give anything flushed out a voice.

While the Moon is making its ordinary monthly visit to your relationship sector, something that every four weeks brings a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged, it is the timing that makes this visit significant. On the one hand, the Moon has returned in time to avoid the Sun’s return to Virgo in three days, something that next month will see them clash as a Full Moon. On the other hand, the only visit while Venus, the planet of love is in Virgo will help with her mission to better understand what you want from your relationships.

At the same time that the Sun is separating from a friendly aspect to both planets in your relationship sector late last week Mercury is doing the same. As a friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Eris in your relationship sector starts to separate another is building that by the weekend will have brought Mercury and Chiron, the planets of communication and healing together.

While today’s romantically charged lunar vibes are having to compete with the working week for your attention, the work/life balance reminders from a Full Moon over the last few days can now work to your advantage. While the Moon is only passing through your romantic sector and this is an ordinary monthly visit, returning next month as a Full Moon and with Venus, the planet of love returning to Scorpio in September makes this a taste of things to come.

Ahead of the Moon’s return to your romantic sector tomorrow and right in the heart of the working week a clash with Venus, the planet of love is going to put a spotlight on your work/life balance. While neither the Moon nor Venus have a romantic agenda or are even focused on matters of the heart, this is giving you a chance to prepare for some romantically charged days coming up.

At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is making the most of her final days on her own in an adventurous part of your chart before the Sun returns in two days, she is also drawing closer to a friendly aspect to Uranus in your romantic sector. This is giving the planet of love’s mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together some serious momentum.

What makes a friendly aspect between Mercury, the planet of communication in your relationship sector and the dwarf planet Eris in your communication sector that is just starting to separate significant, is that they are both in retrograde motion. Eris is the warrior princess of the cosmos and with Mercury turning direct next week, this is giving you the means and the resolve to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.

As the Moon makes its only visit to Pisces while Venus is in your relationship sector, their clash today might push some buttons. However, unlike a clash with the Sun when it comes full circle next month as a Full Moon, the Moon’s clash with Venus today is going to help the planet of love in her mission to better understand what you want from your relationships. This is something to lean into, with some valuable insight to be gained.
