Still in his early days in Leo, Mars has moved into an opposition with Pluto in your relationship sector that will peak today. Mars and Pluto are not only the planets of war and revolution but the two alpha males of the cosmos and as your own and your relationship needs clash, neither is going to back down.

Two days after returning for what, due to a retrograde turn later in the month will be Mercury, the planet of communication’s longest visit to your communication sector in seven years Venus, the planet of love turns retrograde here today.

Over three weeks after leaving Libra Venus, the planet of love turns retrograde today, something that will see her turn around and start heading back for a do over.

Over three weeks after returning to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, where she has been taking your heart on a nostalgic trip down love’s memory lane, Venus’ retrograde turn today will see a sense of romantic nostalgia deepen even more. With all four planets in your romantic sector in retrograde motion, including Neptune, who has moved into a friendly aspect to Mars in an adventurous part of your chart, Venus doesn’t need the keys to unlock the doors to the past because they are already open.

Five days after Mars left your relationship sector, something that has taken the heat and the urgency out of things, the Moon returns for its monthly visit. While an ordinary monthly event and something that every four weeks brings a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware, this first visit while the dwarf planet Ceres is on her own is a chance to focus more on her deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities.

Before leaving your romantic sector today and still separating from a friendly aspect to the Sun in an adventurous part of your chart, the Moon will form a friendly aspect to the North Node in Aquarius.
