The stars are going all out to make this one of the most romantically charged weekends of the year and just a teaser for what you can expect over the coming month. At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is spending her first weekend back in Aries aligned with dreamy Neptune, the Moon is making its first visit to your romantic sector since Mars, the planet of passion returned. The planets of love, dreams and passions are going to be hanging out together for the rest of this month and well into next month.

There is a lot of energy on both the romantic and relationship fronts, at a point in the year when that is not usually the case. For the first time in 17 years, you are moving into a new solar year with the South Node in your relationship sector, while it has been four years since you last had the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your romantic sector. Neither are buying old excuses.

At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is spending her first weekend back in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, the Moon is not only making its first visit to your communication sector since Mars returned but is helping to create an early bridge between the planets of love and passion. This is bringing together Venus’ ability to create serendipitous moments and/or encounters and Mars’ war on communication barriers.

Venus, the planet of love may have left an adventurous part of your chart, but as you reach the weekend, the planets still there are still strongly connected to the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your romantic sector. While Juno is here until October and in retrograde motion is holding the doors on to the past and second chances, you only have planets in an adventurous part of your chart that are helping to bring the romance, adventure and nostalgia together for another three weeks.

As Venus settles into her first weekend in an adventurous part of your chart, the Moon’s first visit to Leo since Mars returned is bringing the planets of love and passion together, with the weekend playing host to a mix of romance, passion and adventure that is a taste of things to come. However, this will also see the Moon clash with Pluto, in his last full day in retrograde motion in your relationship sector, bringing a watered down clash between your own and your relationship needs from last weekend.

Three days after Venus, the planet of love left your relationship sector and a day after the dwarf planet Ceres moved into the final two weeks of her deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities, Saturn moves into his final three weeks here today. In just 21 days, continuous planetary activity on the relationship front since 2010 will end, with communication key to making this count.

Venus is not only spending her first weekend back in your relationship sector aligned with Neptune, bringing the planets of love and dreams together here for the first time in 150 years, but with the support of the Moon and Mars, the planet of passion. Where there may have been some challenging years on the relationship front in the past, this is a whole new experience. With not only Mercury, the planet of communication standing by but more support on the way, there is a chance to look to the future with confidence.

This time last weekend, the Moon had just returned to your relationship sector to begin the lead up to a New Moon and a friendly aspect between Uranus that was just starting to ramp up the support for friendship and relationship building. A week on the Moon has moved on and that support has only increased while at the same time, as the Sun continues to put the solar spotlight on your relationships, with a growing awareness of what you want from them and what they need from you.

Just as Venus is spending her first weekend back in your romantic sector aligned with Neptune, bringing the planets of love and dreams together here for the first time in 150 years, the Moon is making its first visit to an adventurous part of your chart since Mars returned. The Moon’s alignment with Mars and friendly aspect to Venus and Neptune will not only bring together a mix of romance, passion and adventure over the weekend but the planets of love, dreams and passion will work as a dream team for another month.

A week on from when the Moon returned to your romantic sector to begin the lead up to a New Moon that gave matters of the heart the green light, the support from the love gods and especially when it comes to the spirit of romance and adventure, has only deepened. Yet at the same time, so too has the unwillingness to let you hide behind old excuses, roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined.

There are two areas of your life where there might be some tension today, but the key to one is not only the key to solving both, but they can help each other out. That key is balance, with a tug of war for your attention today between your work/life balance and a balance between your own and your relationship needs. With the right work/life balance, you can solve both.

The Moon may have left your romantic sector empty when it left it yesterday, but as it has only been just over two weeks since Mars left and with Jupiter returning next month to begin your luckiest year for love in over a decade, this was all the top up you needed. While Venus, the planet of love left Pisces three days ago, she too has left you with everything needed to follow your heart with confidence.
