As the Sun leaves your romantic sector today this might take the solar spotlight off matters of the heart, but the spirit of romance will remain in safe hands. However, there will be a shift in focus for with Mercury now on his own and still in retrograde motion, this will shift the focus onto the past. This comes just as Mercury’s alignment with Chiron, the planet of healing who is also in retrograde motion peaks. As a sense of romantic nostalgia deepens, so too does a chance to heal.

By the time the Sun returns to your romantic sector today, something that at this time each year will always see the solar spotlight shift onto matters of the heart, a lot of water has already passed under the bridge. Mercury has already spent time giving your heart a voice and putting heart and mind on the same page and Venus, who moves into her final seven days has already spent weeks fuelling the spirit of romance in a way that only the planet of love can.

When the Sun leaves your communication sector today the job of keeping the communication lines open will fall to Mercury, who in his final days in retrograde motion is putting all his effort into giving the past and unsaid words a voice. This comes just as Mercury’s alignment with Chiron peaks and with both in retrograde motion, with the planets of communication and healing joining forces to give the past and unsaid words a voice.

At the same time that Venus, the planet of love moves into her final seven days in your communication sector and of her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice, she is not only joined by the Sun but just as the dwarf planet Ceres moves into her final three days in retrograde motion in your relationship sector. Venus is here in these crucial final days to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.

Having the Moon in an adventurous part of your chart as the Sun leaves Leo will not only give you the confidence to embrace this new solar year and the journey ahead but to move into Pluto’s final 10 days in your relationship sector with confidence. It was earlier in the week that the Sun and Moon clashed as a Full Moon in your relationship sector, but back in harmony and with hindsight you can see how this has helped to better understand your own and your relationship needs.

The Moon’s departure from your relationship sector yesterday was always going to leave you more emotionally engaged and aware, but this time with long term implications. Along with the Moon’s visit to your romantic sector last week as Venus, the planet of love moves into her final seven days in Virgo, it is with a clear sense of what you want from love and your relationships just as your birthday month and new solar year begins.

While the Moon is making its ordinary monthly visit to your relationship sector and is something that every four weeks brings a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged, it is the timing that makes this significant. The Moon is here just as a friendly aspect between Mercury and Chiron, the planets of communication and healing peaks and with both in retrograde motion, with a chance to heal the past.

In between the Moon’s departure from your romantic sector yesterday and its return to your relationship sector tomorrow, life may have taken a busier turn and that makes it important to hold onto one before taking on the next. Your relationships can wait until the Moon returns tomorrow while holding onto the influence of the romantically charged lunar vibes of the last few days can’t.

What makes the timing of the Moon’s monthly visit to your romantic sector is not just that it is here when the Sun leaves an adventurous part of your chart but as a sense of nostalgia deepens. Both planets in your romantic sector are already in retrograde motion and with Mercury heading into his last weekend in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart, you can expect a mix of romance, adventure and nostalgia to deepen.

Ahead of the Moon’s return to your romantic sector for its last visit while Uranus is in retrograde motion here but for its only visit while Venus, the planet of love is an adventurous part of your chart, today is all about making your life as love friendly as possible. As Venus moves into her final seven days this will not only make her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together a lot easier, but this will peak over the weekend.

With the Moon not only in your communication sector as the Sun leaves your relationship sector today but as he hands the reins over to Mercury, the planet of communication, this adds to what was already a positive day for giving words the power to heal. The Moon is here as a friendly aspect between Mercury on the relationship and Chiron on the communication fronts peaks and with both in retrograde motion, as the planets of communication and healing have come together to give the past and unsaid words a voice.

It is just as Venus, the planet of love moves into her final seven days in your relationship sector that the Sun returns. This is something that at this time each year will always turn the solar spotlight onto your relationships, but rarely with this kind of a head start. From the start, you will have a sense of what you want from your relationships while the support that is already there from the communication gods is set to increase over the coming days.
