While the Moon is separating from both its alignment with Mars and its friendly aspect to Venus in her early days back in Aries, until it leaves your romantic sector, these romantically charged lunar vibes are wrapped around and connecting the planets of love and passion. With Mars in your romantic sector and Venus in Aries for the rest of the month and into June, this is helping to kick off some of the most romantically charged weeks of the year.

In the lead up to the Moon’s return to your romantic sector tomorrow, at a time when there is already growing support on the romantic front, the Moon’s monthly work/life balance reminder couldn’t come with better timing. Unlike the squeeze that a clash between Mars and Pluto recently put on your work/life balance, this is the ordinary but timely reminder the Moon brings every four weeks.

While the Moon is separating from both a friendly aspect to Venus, the planet of love and an alignment with Mars yesterday, until leaving your communication sector tomorrow, this has their backing when it comes to pushing through communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined. This is the Moon’s first visit since Mars returned to resume his war on communication barriers, with the support there to make it count.

The asteroid Juno, in retrograde motion in your romantic sector is still separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn in an adventurous part of your chart as she moves into another with the North Node and the dwarf planet Ceres, just as they have moved into an alignment there. This is a tightening of the support team that has gathered to not only keep Venus, the planet of love’s mission to keep the spirit of romance and adventure alive but take it to the next level.

The Moon is still in Leo as Pluto turns retrograde in your relationship sector today and while it was their clash yesterday that brought the regular monthly reminder when it comes to a balance between your own and your relationship needs, the timing couldn’t be better. As the doors open to the past, it is with a better understanding of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, while emotionally engaged and aware from the start.

Following Venus, the planet of love’s departure from your relationship sector four days ago, the rest of the planets there are not only regrouping but are becoming even more tightly aligned with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships in your communication sector. This is helping to further refine your relationship needs and priorities while ensuring the communication lines are open.

For the third time in as many years, Pluto turns retrograde in your romantic sector today. However, unlike in 2023 and again in 2024, when the planet of change and transformation began transitioning in for what will be a 20 year visit he won’t be retrograding all the way back out. This time, Pluto is here to stay and will spend the next five months holding the doors open to the past. Meanwhile the Moon, Venus, Mercury, Mars and Neptune are creating some special conditions when it comes to friendship and relationship building.

Within three weeks, for the first time since 2010, there will be no planetary activity in your romantic sector but the North Node, a force rather than a physical object will stay on, continuing to act as your heart’s internal compass. It is no wonder then, that the planets still here are clustering around both the North Node and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment, who will remain in Scorpio until the love gods send in reinforcements, later in the year.

For the third time in as many years, Pluto turns retrograde in your communication sector today. Unlike in 2023 and again in 2024, when the planet of change and transformation was beginning his transition into your communication sector, this won’t see him retrograde back out again. Instead, over the next five months and during the most pivotal months of the year on the relationship front Pluto will be there, helping to give the past and unsaid words a voice.

Two days after the Moon left your relationship sector, as well as leaving you more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware there will be a draw towards the future. This was the Moon’s first visit since Mars left, having spent seven months travelling back and forwards through your relationship sector, all in preparation for lucky Jupiter’s return and the start of your most significant relationship year in over a decade, which begins in five weeks from today.

While the Moon’s clash with Pluto in Aquarius yesterday may have pushed some buttons or evoked some strong emotional and passionate responses, this first visit to your relationship sector since Mars returned is gaining more support from the communication gods by the day. A friendly aspect to Mercury and Chiron in your communication sector, comes just as the planets of communication and healing are already coming together, giving words the power to heal.

Even before the Moon returns to your relationship sector tomorrow, there has been growing support between the communication and relationship gods for over a week and over the coming days, when the Sun and Moon join forces, this will only continue. Meanwhile, with Jupiter just five days away from your romantic sector and the start of your luckiest year for love in over a decade, the Moon’s departure two days ago has already put your heart’s over the horizon radar on alert.
