On the heels of the first Full Moon of 2026 and its work/life balance reminders, the Moon returns for its first visit to your romantic sector for the year. Both the romantically charged lunar vibes of the next few days and the Moon’s first visit to your relationship sector for the year a few days later, will have to keep up with what is destined to be a busy week, making the reminders of the last few days all the more important.

While it will take another two days before their alignment peaks and as they will have caught up with Mars by then, the Sun and Venus, the planet of love have already become one. Aligned in an adventurous part of your chart, this is giving Venus’ mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together some serious support.

Three days after Mercury, the planet of communication left your relationship sector, taking the communication and relationship gods out of the picture in one fell swoop, the Moon returns for its first visit to your communication sector for the year. While the Moon is only here for a few days, this is in time to capture Mercury’s influence and especially when it comes to keeping the communication lines open.

An alignment between the Sun and Venus, the planet of love in your relationship sector that hasn’t even peaked yet is kicking off what will be one of the most powerful weeks of the year on the relationship front. By the time this peaks in two days, they will also be aligned with Mars here, while there is also some serious support building on the communication front. As a Full Moon in Cancer runs its course, all with a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.

As the Moon returns for its first visit to Leo for the year, it is a given that a clash with Pluto in your relationship sector might push some buttons or evoke some strong emotional responses. However, while this is a monthly event and key to maintaining the right balance between your own and your relationship needs with Venus, the planet of love less than two weeks away from your relationship sector, with a chance to start paying attention.

An alignment between the Sun and Venus, the planet of love in your romantic sector that is still two days away from even peaking, is the start of an extraordinary week, where by tomorrow they will have both caught up with Mars here. For the next seven days, they will be less than a degree apart and so close to the Sun that Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion will be consumed by the light and no longer visible, but with their essence embedded into the very sunlight itself.

At the same time that planets in your relationship sector are starting to turn direct as they prepare for major developments later in the month, the love gods are preparing for Venus, the planet of love’s return to your romantic sector in less than two weeks. By the end of the month, some of the most significant stars of the year on the romantic and relationship fronts will be underway, with the Full Moon of the last few days having delivered the right reminder at the right time.

In her final two weeks in your communication sector Venus, the planet of love’s mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice is getting some serious support and that is set to increase over the coming days. Already aligned with the Sun, it is when they both catch up with Mars here tomorrow that there will be a chance to piggyback off his war on communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined.

As the Moon returns for its first visit to an adventurous part of your chart for the year, it is a given that this will start with a friendly aspect to Pluto in your romantic sector. While this is something that every four weeks will bring the spirit of romance and adventure together, this can also bring a boost in confidence. Even more so this time, with Venus, the planet of love less than two weeks away from her return to your romantic sector and the start of some of the most romantically charged months of 2026.

When Venus, the planet of love is combust the Sun and they are so aligned that she can no longer be seen in the heavens. Yet Venus is not only still there but aligned with the Sun, her essence is embedded into the very sunlight itself. By tomorrow, Mars will be drawn into this as well, adding his passions and fighting spirit to the mix.

As the Moon returns for its first visit to your relationship sector for the year, it will find itself in the wrong place at the right time. In the wrong place because, as it does with each monthly visit, a clash with Pluto in Aquarius might push some buttons. However, in the right place, for just as this is putting a balance between your own and your relationship needs under pressure, a friendly aspect to the first of three planets in your communication sector is able to give this a voice.

The Moon’s departure from your romantic sector may have brought the Full Moon here two days ago to a close, but unlike the Full Moon that will always fall at around this time each year, with lucky Jupiter staying on to keep the momentum going. This has helped to jumpstart the spirit of romance at a time when, in retrograde motion, Jupiter is holding the doors open to the past and second chances.
