Having the communication lines open not only remains important but is set to become even more important.

While Venus will have left by the time the Sun returns to Gemini next week to begin your birthday month and new solar year, in her last weekend here, she is giving your heart a voice and updating your romantic and relationship desires, hopes and aspirations ahead of time.

A week that began with the Moon in your relationship sector and crossing the lunar nodes, which are in the final months of an 18 month monitoring of a balance between your own and your relationship needs, has left you with a sense that something has shifted.

At the same time that Mars is spending his last weekend in your relationship sector aligned with Chiron, the planet of healing, the Moon and Mercury both join Venus, the planet of love in her last weekend in an adventurous part of your chart. On the relationship front, there is an opportunity for healing just as Mars is working to leave you with something to fight for, while a sense of romance, adventure and nostalgia is set to spike.

Before leaving and wrapping up the New Moon in your relationship sector, the Moon is spending its final hours aligned with Mercury, just before the planet of communication is about to leave as well. With both gone by the end of the day but the Sun keeping the solar spotlight on your relationships for another five days, until Mars returns in two days to take over, this leaves you emotionally engaged and aware and with everything needed to keep the communication lines open.

Just as Venus, the planet of love has reached her last weekend in your relationship sector, she is joined by the Moon and Mercury, the planet of communication.

In a case of perfect timing, just as Venus, the planet of love has reached her last weekend in your romantic sector and is just two days away from leaving, the Moon and Mercury return. While there was never any danger of the spirit of romance going off the boil, with the Moon and Venus both leaving in two days, these romantically charged lunar vibes will make these last 48 hours some of the best, while helping Mercury as he returns to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page.

Over the weekend and ahead of the Moon’s return to your romantic sector in two days, something that will put it here in the heart of the working week, this would be an important point in any month for getting out in front of this by putting some guardrails in place. Even more so when it is not just the Moon returning in two days but Venus, the planet of love, to begin some of the most romantically charged weeks of the year and with implications for months to come.
