Today’s stars are smiling on both romantic and relationship matters and considering that it wasn’t that long ago that both were under pressure, this is a turnaround. It is the Sun’s friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos that is helping to get the most out of his final days in your romantic sector, while the Moon’s first visit to your communication sector since Mars returned to your relationship sector is helping to get the communication lines open.

While matters of the heart may have taken a backseat since Mars left your romantic sector, with the Sun not only just five days away but with a New Moon set to get things off to an empowered start, this is a chance to reflect on one chapter before the next begins. Meanwhile, the Moon’s departure from Taurus yesterday has left you emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware and especially of your romantic and relationship needs and priorities.

Since returning to Gemini yesterday, the Moon’s first visit since Mars returned to your romantic sector has already seen them connect. Seven days after a friendly aspect between Mars there and Pluto in an adventurous part of your chart peaked, the Moon has formed a friendly aspect to both, reigniting a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure that is never far from the surface.

Venus, the planet of love is still separating from a friendly aspect to both the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your romantic sector and the North Node in an adventurous part of your chart, as she moves into her final eight days in Cancer. While this once again brought the spirit of romance and adventure together, the Moon is planning to do it again in a few days, with the love gods working to ensure this sticks.

Nine days on from a Full Moon in your relationship sector, any buttons this might have pushed, strong emotional responses or personal and/or relationship tension might be all but forgotten, but they have left a lasting legacy. Since flushing out what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, support has not only grown but especially from the communication gods, with the Full Moon having helped to clear away old roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined.

With Saturn just two weeks away from retrograding back into your relationship sector, the last few days couldn’t have been more important. It was Venus, the planet of love’s friendly aspect to the North Node in your relationship sector and to the asteroid Juno in your communication sector, that has been a chance to start getting them ready for Saturn’s return and the chance coming up for a do over.

Thanks to the Moon’s recent visit to your relationship sector and even its clash with Mars in Libra as it moved through, as Saturn moves into his final two weeks here, it is with a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Saturn is the hard taskmaster of the cosmos, with the next 14 days a chance to put in the work that you can benefit from later.

With no planetary activity in your relationship sector, the Moon’s departure yesterday has been a valuable chance to check in, while leaving you more emotionally engaged and aware. While Venus, the planet of love is separating from alliances over the last few days that have helped with her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together, the Moon will join her tomorrow for round two.

It is just as the Moon’s monthly visit to your relationship sector is getting unprecedented support that the Sun kicks off a stunning four days for bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together. As both will have a reach far into the working week, this makes recent reminders when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off all the more important.

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 but holding onto the spirit of romance couldn’t be more important. While your relationships are in safe hands even before the Moon returns, it is the spirit of romance that needs to be captured before it fades.

At the same time that the communication and relationship gods have come together to begin some powerful days on both fronts, the love gods are also cooking up something special. The Moon’s first visit to your romantic sector while Mars is in an adventurous part of your chart is helping to ignite a mix of romance, passion and adventure that is now never far from the surface.

While the last few days have seen Venus, the planet of love form a friendly aspect to the North Node in Pisces and just yesterday to the asteroid Juno in an adventurous part of your chart, the spirit of romance and adventure is still far from peaking. It is the Moon’s return for its only visit while Venus is in your romantic sector tomorrow that will begin round two.
