At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is settling into her first weekend in your relationship sector and with the first planetary activity on the relationship front for the year is underway, Mars and the dwarf planet Ceres have reached their last weekend in your communication sector. Helping to capture it all is the Moon, who is spending its final hours aligned with Mars and Ceres just as they are already aligned.

Just as Mercury, the planet of communication has reached his last full day in your communication sector, the Moon returns and the timing couldn’t be better. This will make it easier to get the most out of Mercury’s final hours and especially when it comes to giving your emotional responses a voice. The Moon will still be here when Mars returns in two days to declare war on communication roadblocks and barriers, allowing for a seamless transition.

While as the first planet to return to your romantic sector this year Venus, the planet of love will be working to make this a romantically charged weekend, her early return is the start of her longest visit in decades. Broken up into two halves, with Venus leaving in five weeks and then returning for a do over, she has her eye on more than just one weekend.

Two days after Venus, the planet of love left your communication sector Mercury, the planet of communication has reached his last full day in Cancer. Normally here for just 14 to 15 days, a retrograde turn has kept Mercury here for over two months and while today is all about having the communication lines open, the Moon’s return to your communication sector next week and the Sun’s in two weeks means you won’t be on your own for long.

At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is settling into her first weekend in your communication sector the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment has reached her last in your relationship sector. While their paths will only cross for a few days, retrograde turns will see them come together later in the year, but with a chance now to commit to getting and keeping the communication lines open on the relationship front.

In between Venus, the planet of love’s departure from Virgo two days ago and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment’s return to your romantic sector in three days, there is a chance to reflect on the four weeks spent updating your heart’s desires, hopes and aspirations. While it is rare that we get a do over but having left your romantic sector at the end of March, Juno is retrograding back in for a do over, this time more aware of what you want from love.

At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is spending her first weekend in Libra the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment has reached her last before retrograding back out of your romantic sector next week. Yet knowing that they will meet up again later in the year, this is more a chance to commit to following your heart as Venus returns to expand on the romantic and relationship developments already unfolding.

At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is settling into her first weekend in a nostalgic part of your chart Chiron, the planet of healing is settling into his first in retrograde motion in your relationship sector. Venus has returned to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down love’s memory lane that will end with her return to Scorpio next month. This comes just as old doors have opened on the relationship front and with it, a chance for healing.

Helping to connect Venus, the planet of love’s first weekend in a social and serendipitous part of your chart with the asteroid Juno’s last in your communication sector and Mars and Ceres’ last in your relationship sector is the Moon. It is the Moon’s emotional connection to all four that brings the threads together to create a special weekend on the communication, social and relationship fronts.

Over two months after returning for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to get the communication lines open Mercury, the planet of communication finally reaches his last full day in your relationship sector. While the Moon’s return will be a chance to spend Mercury’s final hours emotionally engaged and aware, making it easier to express yourself, it will still be here when Mars returns in two days to take over.

While the Moon will leave your romantic sector today, with Mars and the dwarf planet Ceres in their last weekend here and Venus, the planet of love her first in an adventurous part of your chart, these romantically charged lunar vibes have ignited something that is going to keep on burning. With Venus’ mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together just getting started, this bodes well for the coming weeks.

Two days after Venus left your relationship sector and as you wait for the Sun’s return in two weeks, the Moon’s return to your romantic sector during Mercury’s last full day shifts the focus onto matters of the heart. While these romantically charged lunar vibes will help to get the most out of the final hours of Mercury’s mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, this will also bridge the gap until Mars returns in two days.
