In a week that so far has been more about Mars’ return to your romantic sector and the focus that Venus, the planet of love’s return to Aries has put on matters of the heart, the Moon’s return today is a chance to shift the focus onto your relationships. As Venus has returned for a second chance to review your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year, this is a valuable chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware.

After a friendly aspect to the Sun in Taurus yesterday, the Moon is spending its final hours in your romantic sector at a friendly aspect to Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected there today. While this is still making these romantically charged lunar vibes a lot more potent and is helping to increase your romantic confidence, this introduces the laws of synchronicity and the potential for serendipitous moments and/or encounters.

Before returning to your romantic sector today, the Moon will cross the lunar nodes, putting their policing of your work/life balance in the spotlight and the timing couldn’t be better. With no planetary activity in your romantic sector having to compete with the working week, the right work/life balance will give these romantically charged lunar vibes a fighting chance.

It is during the Moon’s final hours in your communication sector and when it is still in harmony with the Sun while crossing the South Node here that you have your best chance of getting the communication lines open. Especially when it comes to giving your emotional responses and relationships a voice. With no planetary activity in your relationship sector, it is all about having the communication lines open.

What a difference a few days can make. The Moon not only began the week in Leo but clashed with Pluto as he turned retrograde in your relationship sector. On the heels of a less forgiving clash between Mars and Pluto, the last few weeks will have exposed any balance issues between your own and your relationship needs. As the returns your communication sector, connecting with Pluto will bring a chance over the coming days to give anything this may have flushed out a voice.

Before leaving Virgo today, the Moon will spend its final hours crossing the lunar nodes and the timing couldn’t be better. While this is something that every four weeks will put a balance between your own and your relationship needs in the spotlight, it comes just as a friendly aspect between planets on the communication and relationship fronts is just starting to separate. This will make it easier to give anything this might flush out a voice.

Mercury is still separating from an alignment with Chiron in your relationship sector yesterday that saw the planets of communication and healing come together, when the Moon returns for its monthly visit to Libra and the timing couldn’t be better. While this will give the spirit of romance and especially a sense of romantic nostalgia a boost, over the coming days this will put pressure on a balance between your own and your relationship needs. Fortunately, while Mercury, the planet of communication is still in your communication sector.

The busier life gets and especially as it is set to become even busier over the coming weeks and months, the more important Saturn and the dwarf planet Ceres’ final weeks in your romantic sector become. By the end of the month, for the first time since 2010, there will be no planetary activity on the romantic front, with a need to make these final weeks count. Even if that means challenging old excuses.

Mercury is still separating from his alignment with Chiron, the planet of healing in your romantic sector yesterday when another with Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos here peaks. While Venus, the planet of love, is still settling into her first full week back in your romantic sector, this is giving Mercury the support to get the most out of the final days of his mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page.

The Moon is still separating from a friendly aspect to the Sun in your romantic sector yesterday, when it spends its final hours in an adventurous part of your chart at a friendly aspect to Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected there today. As well as bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together, this brings the laws of synchronicity into play, increasing the potential for some serendipitous moments and/or encounters.

It might still be the working week, but the Moon not only returns for a visit to an adventurous part of your chart today that will extend into the early part of the weekend, but that will culminate in a friendly aspect to lucky Jupiter in your romantic sector. As they will come together on the same day that Jupiter moves into the final month of what he has been working to make a lucky year for love, as the spirit of romance and adventure starts coming together, this needs to be embraced.

Still separating from a friendly aspect to the Sun in your communication sector yesterday, the Moon is spending its final hours in your relationship sector at a friendly aspect to Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected there today and the timing couldn’t be better. As the Moon crosses the lunar nodes will put a balance between your own and your relationship needs under pressure, but at a time when the communication and relationship gods are already working together.
