A big day on the romantic and relationship fronts begins with the Moon’s return for its only visit to your relationship sector while Mars is here, while continuing a few hours later with Venus, the planet of love’s return to your romantic sector. As Venus returns to kick off the most romantically charged weeks of 2025, the Moon is joining up with Mars to flush out what you are fighting for on the relationship front.

As the Moon leaves your romantic sector this might bring the weekend’s New Moon to a close, but as these romantically charged lunar vibes run their course, the Sun is just three days into a month long visit. It is while the Moon is leaving and wrapping up the weekend’s New Moon that Venus, the planet of love will be using her final hours in your communication sector to give your heart and your relationships a voice.

It won’t be today’s romantically charged lunar vibes that will be on the back foot as the Moon returns for its only visit to your romantic sector while Mars is here, but the working week itself. As well as igniting an already potent mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure, it is just a few hours later that Venus, the planet of love returns to your communication sector to give your heart and your relationships a voice.

As Venus, the planet of love leaves Cancer today, she leaves you with a better read on what your heart is telling you and of your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year. This year there is a lot more focus on the spirit of romance than on your relationships, which is different from most years, with planets staying on that will continue to keep both the spirit of romance and adventure alive.

It is just before Venus, the planet of love returns to Leo today that the Moon returns for its only visit to your communication sector while Mars is here and the timing couldn’t be better. By tomorrow, Venus will be clashed with Pluto in your relationship sector, something that while giving her an early sense of what you want from your relationships might push some buttons. With Mercury, the planet of communication still in Leo, the Moon is going to double the communication support that is already there.

Three days into your birthday month and new solar year and at a point in the year when you are looking to the future Venus, the planet of love returns to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart today. Venus has returned to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down love’s memory lane that will end with her return to Virgo before the Sun leaves, but with a chance first to revisit the past.

The Moon’s return to Libra today is an ordinary monthly event and something that every four weeks will bring a chance to check in and become more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. This was always going to see the Moon clash with all five planets in your relationship sector as it moved through, but as the only visit while Mars is in Libra, as a balance between your own and your relationship needs is put to the test, there could be pushback on both sides.

After spending the majority of the last four weeks on a mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together as Venus, the planet of love leaves an adventurous part of your chart today, that mission will remain in safe hands. Rather than go off the boil, there are planets staying on and more on the way that will continue to keep the romantic flame burning.

Venus, the planet of love not only returns to an adventurous part of your chart today to begin her annual mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together, but with some serious support from the start. Venus will move straight into a friendly aspect to Saturn in your romantic sector today, before connecting with dreamy Neptune there tomorrow.

As Venus, the planet of love leaves your relationship sector today, she leaves you with a sense of what you want from your relationships and with a lot more confidence than would normally be the case. Not only is lucky Jupiter staying on but there aren’t the storms that your relationships may have had to weather in previous years. At the same time, while there is already support from the communication gods, that will increase when Saturn retrogrades back into your communication sector in six days.

While it is a given that when Venus returns to your relationship sector each year, there will be support from the planets in your communication sector, this isn’t usually until later in her time here and from planets that have been in the background for years. When Venus returns today, she will move straight into a friendly aspect to Saturn, in your communication sector for the first time in three decades and ahead of her clash with Pluto in Aquarius tomorrow, the timing couldn’t be better.

While today will see first the Moon leave your relationship sector and then a few hours later Venus, the planet of love will leave your romantic sector, in both cases they are leaving behind forces that can keep the momentum going. Three days after the Sun’s return to your relationship sector, the Moon’s departure today will leave you emotionally engaged and aware, while Venus is leaving behind planets that will continue to make this a lucky year for love.
