After Venus left during the week, 12 days after his return to your romantic sector, Jupiter is spending his first weekend on his own and with it a chance to look to the big picture and the journey ahead. While Venus tried to make the nearly four weeks she was here as romantically charged as possible, Jupiter’s focus is less on right now and more on high hopes for the future. Not leaving until July 2027, the real journey has just begun.

As Venus, the planet of love settles into her first weekend in your romantic sector, this is doing more than just setting the scene for a romantically charged weekend. With no planetary activity here since last year, but the South Node having continued to keep you connected with what your heart is telling you in that time, Venus won’t be satisfied with just a romantically charged weekend.

Venus, the planet of love may have left your communication sector and in his first weekend on his own, Jupiter is branching out to support all aspects of communication, she has helped to steer things in a direction it will be easy to maintain. What Venus has set in motion is a focus on giving your heart and your relationships a voice.

It was 12 days ago that a Full Moon in your relationship sector shook things up, but since then things have completely turned around. This was the Full Moon that at some point during your birthday month will put a balance between your own and your relationship needs to the best, but now you have Venus and Mercury, the planets of love and communication working together to get and keep the communication lines open. Mercury to give the past and unsaid words a voice and Venus to give your heart and your relationships a voice.

Two days after Venus, the planet of love left Leo, there is time to reflect on the nearly four weeks she spent working to update your romantic and relationship desires, hopes and aspirations for the coming year and all the water that passed under the bridge during that time. While the Moon moved through your romantic sector while Venus was here, the overriding focus was and still is on your relationships.

While as she settles into her first weekend in Virgo and as she begins to update your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year, Venus wasn’t here for last week’s romantically charged Full Moon, she is here for the aftermath. Knowing that before the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment is a month away from returning to your romantic sector for a do over, Venus is able to pick up on what last week’s Full Moon was able to stir.

With the Moon not only in an adventurous part of your chart but aligned with Mars and as both a separating from a friendly aspect to Pluto and Juno, both in retrograde motion in your romantic sector, this is amplifying a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure that was building all week. Meanwhile, in her first weekend in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, Venus is making the most of the doors open to the past and second chances on the romantic and relationship fronts.

A week that began with the Moon in your romantic sector and then saw it leave and wrap up its monthly visit to your relationship sector yesterday leaves you more emotionally engaged and aware and with a lot to unpack. In that time Venus, the planet of love has returned to a social and serendipitous part of your chart, where in her first weekend there is a chance to get a better feel for the laws of attraction and synchronicity she has brought into effect.

The Moon’s only visit to your relationship sector while Mars is here and their alignment today comes just as the warrior planet of the cosmos has spent the week at a friendly aspect to both planets in your communication sector. With other planets on the communication and relationship fronts still closely aligned, as the Moon and Mars align, this is making it easier to give any strong emotional and passionate responses a voice.

In between the Moon’s departure from your romantic sector yesterday and its return to your relationship sector tomorrow, it was always going to be important to hold onto the spirit of romance. Not only can your relationships wait, but with a New Moon and an alignment between the Sun and Mercury in your relationship sector coming up, before they steal all your attention, two days after her return to an adventurous part of your chart, Venus is working to make the weekend as romantically charged as possible.

At the same time that the Moon is making its only visit to your romantic sector while Mars is here, with their alignment today adding fuel to his romantic passions and fighting spirit, Jupiter is spending his first weekend on his own in your relationship sector since returning last week. Away from the noise of the working week, the weekend is bringing home what an important time this is on both the romantic and relationship fronts.

With the Moon not only returning to your romantic sector tomorrow, but to begin the lead up to a New Moon just as the new working week will be taking off, the weekend is the ideal time to put guardrails in place. While Jupiter left your romantic sector last week and Venus, the planet of love last month, the Sun is not only still here, but Mars’ return next month suggests that the best might still be to come.
