Having begun the week in your romantic sector, the Moon today returns for its first visit to your relationship sector for the year. With no planetary activity in your romantic and relationship sectors until later in the year, these monthly visits couldn’t be more important. Having had a chance to focus on matters of the heart, the attention now turns to your relationships.

In the final hours of the Moon’s first visit to your romantic sector for the year and of its only visit while Venus, the planet of love is in an adventurous part of your chart, the spirit of romance and adventure gets another boost. The Moon has already formed a friendly aspect to Venus and the rest of the planets in an adventurous part of your chart, when a friendly aspect between Mercury and the South Node helps to lock this into place.

Nine days before Venus, the planet of love is due to return to an adventurous part of your chart to begin her annual mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together, the Moon brings a chance for a practice run. Returning for its first visit to your romantic sector for the year, the Moon is spending its early hours at a friendly aspect to Pluto, who in an adventurous part of your chart, is already advocating for the spirit of adventure.

It is during the final hours of the Moon’s first visit to your communication sector for the year and having already formed a friendly aspect to the Sun and all four planets in your relationship sector over the last few days, a chance to get the communication lines open on the relationship front gets an additional boost. The Moon will still be here when a friendly aspect between Mercury in your relationship sector and the South Node in your communication sector peaks.

While the Moon’s return for its first visit to your communication sector was always going to see it spend its early hours at a friendly aspect to Pluto in your relationship sector, it is the timing that makes this significant. This first visit for the year is a chance to get the communication lines open before Venus, the planet of love joins Pluto in your relationship sector next week.

It is during the Moon’s final hours in Virgo that it will clash with Saturn and Neptune in your relationship sector, something it has done every four weeks since Neptune returned in 2012 and Saturn in early 2023. This is key to maintaining a balance between your own and your relationship needs, but this is also coming to an end. With Neptune leaving your relationship sector in 18 days and not returning again in our lifetime and Saturn a few weeks later, it is important to pay attention.

As the Moon returns for its first visit to Libra for the year, this is more than just the chance you get every four weeks to check in and become more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. While this will start off with a friendly aspect to Pluto in your romantic sector and then go on to see the Moon clash with the planets in your relationship sector, putting a balance between your own and your relationship needs to the test, with a chance to get your attention days before major developments on the romantic and relationship fronts.

With triple alignment between the Sun, Venus and Mars in your communication sector not starting to separate until tomorrow, this puts you in the best possible position to take advantage of the Moon’s friendly aspect to Uranus in your relationship sector today. With Venus, the planet of love starting to inch her way to the front of a parade of planets in your communication sector, this is helping her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice.

Now just three days away from turning direct in your romantic sector, the dwarf planet Eris has come to a complete stop and in her final days in retrograde motion, with a sense of romantic nostalgia deepening by the day. At the same time, with the other two planets here already in direct motion and Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams just 18 days away from returning to spend the next 13 years here, there is also a growing sense of anticipation.

Before leaving and wrapping up its first visit to an adventurous part of your chart for the year, it’s a given that until he leaves in April, the Moon was going to spend its final hours at a friendly aspect to Uranus, in retrograde motion in your romantic sector. The difference this time is for the only time while Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion are in Capricorn, adding fuel to an already potent mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure.

While Venus, the planet of love is not the only planet in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, she is the only one taking your heart on a nostalgic trip down love’s memory lane. This will end with Venus’ return to Aquarius next week, where she will work to update your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year.

Before leaving and wrapping up its first visit for the year, the Moon is spending its final hours in your relationship sector clashed with the two planets in Pisces, while at a friendly aspect to Uranus, in retrograde motion in your relationship sector. This is a pattern that has played out every four weeks for years, but not forever, with a valuable chance to flush out any balance issues between your own and your relationship needs and give them a voice.
