With the Sun and Moon both leaving your romantic sector today, this will take some but not all of the focus off matters of the heart. With Mercury staying on and Venus, the planet of love just three days away, the most romantically charged weeks of the year are still in front of you. With the Sun leaving first, romantically charged lunar vibes will linger for a few more hours in order to be captured.

While matters of the heart may have gone off the boil when Mars left your romantic sector 16 days ago, the Sun and Moon’s return today is going to jump start things again. With the Sun returning first, the Moon’s return a few hours later will see them align to create a New Moon that can not only jumpstart things romantically, but with a chance to draw a new line in the sand or for new beginnings.

With the space of just a few hours first the Sun and then the Moon will leave your communication sector today. Having the Moon here during the Sun’s final days has been a chance to put maximum effort into getting the communication lines open with Mercury, the planet of communication staying on to keep them open. This is something Venus, the planet of love will take advantage of when she returns in three days to give your heart and your relationships a voice.

The Moon not only returns for its only visit to your communication sector while Venus, the planet of love is in Cancer, something that will make it easier to give your heart’s emotional responses a voice, but just behind the Sun’s return today as well. Returning within the space of just a few hours, this will create a New Moon that can jumpstart the communication lines.

Two days after the Moon’s return to Leo saw it clash with Pluto in your relationship sector, both it and the Sun leave today. What began as the ordinary monthly clash between your own and your relationship needs ends with a chance to move into this new solar year with a sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, but also of the growth in communication support.

A combination of the Sun’s return to Virgo today and the Moon just a few hours later, will create a New Moon that is going to get your new solar year off to an empowered start. While still another two days away from crossing the lunar nodes, the Moon’s early return will give you a window into their monitoring of a balance between your own and your relationship needs, a week before Saturn’s return to your relationship sector.

Right up to the moment the Sun and Moon leave your friendship sector today, they are both separating from the planets in your relationship sector. For the Moon, this is right up to the very last minute, wrapping up what has been a positive week for friendship and relationship building. While the Sun and Moon are moving on Mercury, the planet of communication is staying on to keep the momentum going.

While heading into the weekend things are starting to pull back professionally, not for long. With Venus, the planet of love heading into her last weekend in an adventurous part of your chart surrounded by support but just three days away from leaving, there is a chance to pour everything you can into the final days of her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together.

While the Sun has spent the majority of the week so far at a friendly aspect to two of the five planets in your romantic sector, the Moon will spend its final hours in an adventurous part of your chart at a friendly aspect to the remaining two. While the Sun and Moon will both leave here today, with planets staying on to keep the efforts they have put into bringing together a mix of romance, adventure, nostalgia and anticipation alive.

As Venus heads into her last weekend in your relationship sector, the planet of love knows that she will not only leave Jupiter behind here and an army of planets in your communication sector, but they will still be here when she comes full circle next year. This is a chance to look beyond the next three days to the journey ahead and to what you ultimately want from your relationships.

Within the space of just a few hours, first the Sun and then the Moon will leave your relationship sector today. The Sun is separating from a friendly aspect to two of the five planets in your communication sector while the Moon will connect to the rest before leaving. With Mercury, the planet of communication staying on in your relationship sector and Venus, the planet of love just three days away, the communication and relationship gods will continue to work as a team.

While the Sun and Moon will both return to your relationship sector today, the order makes all the difference. Had the Moon returned first, it would be ahead by the time the Sun returned, something that at this time each year will always see the solar spotlight shift onto your relationships. Because the Sun returns first, the Moon’s return will see them immediately align to create a New Moon that can jumpstart this next chapter.
