It has been a decade since you last had any planetary activity in your romantic sector over Christmas and 15 years since Mars, the warrior planet of the cosmos last spent the holiday period here. Back in 2009, Mars was also in retrograde motion, with a chance to not only make matters of the heart a priority but as the year draws to a close with a chance to make the most of the doors open to the past and second chances.

Having the Moon in your romantic sector during the Sun’s first full day in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery is amplifying the influence of both. This time last weekend the Sun and Moon were clashed as a Full Moon, but a week on they are not only in harmony but working together to give the spirit of romance and adventure a boost.

A day after the Sun left your relationship sector Mercury, the planet of communication is on his own and in his first weekend back in direct motion, is making it all about having the communication lines open. It was a Full Moon in Gemini this time last weekend and its clash with the Sun that has left you aware of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you and now it is Mercury’s turn.

Having the Moon in your communication sector during the Sun’s first full day in your relationship sector is doing more than just making it easier to have the communication lines open from the start. This puts the Sun and Moon in harmony, something that can bring a sense of confidence while making it easier to remain emotionally engaged and connected.

The Sun may have left your romantic sector yesterday and this may have taken the solar spotlight off matters of the heart, but Mercury is still here. When Mercury leaves next month, this will bring all planetary activity on the romantic front to the year to an end, but he will spend the whole of Christmas, New Year and the holiday period working to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page while keeping the spirit of romance alive.

Having the Moon in Virgo during the Sun’s first full day in your romantic sector is doing more than just putting them in harmony, though this is helping to fuel your confidence from the start. It is the Moon’s friendly aspect to Uranus in an adventurous part of your chart, something that Venus, the planet of love did before leaving your romantic sector two weeks ago that is once again bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together.

For the first time in five years Venus, the planet of love will be spending Christmas, New Year and the holiday period in your romantic sector and she is not on her own. While Pluto had spent over seven months here before leaving and then returning last month and this might be the planet of change and transformation’s first Christmas here in our lifetime, here now for the next 20 years it won’t be his last.

It is just as the Sun is settling into his first full day in your communication sector that the Moon is working with Uranus to make this a positive day for friendship and relationship building and for feeling emotionally engaged and connected. With the Sun in harmony with both, this is making it easier to get the communication lines open from the start and in a way that your relationships can benefit from.

This time last week the Sun was clashed with the Moon in your relationship sector, creating a Full Moon that put a balance between your own and your relationship needs to the test. A week on, the Sun and the pressure is gone and there has been a turnaround. With Mercury, the planet of communication staying on in Sagittarius and Venus, the planet of love not only in your communication sector but working in harmony with the planets in your relationship sector, it is now all about having the communication lines open.

It is during the first full day of your birthday month and new solar year that the Moon is not only in an adventurous part of your chart but at a friendly aspect to Uranus, in retrograde motion in your romantic sector. This is kicking off your birthday month with a mix of romance, adventure and nostalgia in the air but while the Moon will leave tomorrow, this hints at something that will be a feature of the coming year.

Two days after the Moon not only left your relationship sector and wrapped up its last visit for the year but its last before Mars retrogrades back out in the New Year, you will be starting to get a better sense of the message behind any strong emotional and passionate responses or any buttons pushed. With Mars moving into his final two weeks here tomorrow, this has left you with a better sense of what you are fighting for.

In between its clash with Saturn in Pisces yesterday and another with Neptune before leaving your relationship sector tomorrow, the Moon is spending today at a friendly aspect to Uranus, in retrograde motion in your communication sector. This last visit for the year is a chance to become more emotionally engaged and aware, but with a chance to give any strong emotional responses or issues this might flush out a voice.
