Before leaving and wrapping up its monthly visit to an adventurous part of your chart, the Moon’s friendly aspect to the last of the four planets in Aries is something that every four weeks is going to give the spirit of adventure a boost. However, this first visit since Mars returned to your romantic sector and as his friendly aspect to Saturn peaks, this is adding fuel to a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure that has been building since the Moon returned two days ago.

While the Moon left your relationship sector two days ago, this has left you more emotionally engaged and aware as you move into a major crossroads on the relationship front. It is later next week and in the space of 48 hours that the Sun will return to your relationship sector, Mercury will turn retrograde here and then Venus will leave. While in retrograde motion, Venus is working to give your heart, relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice, Mercury is slowing down to turn retrograde a day before she leaves. As the planet of communication, this will be in safe hands.

While the Moon, making its first visit to your relationship sector since Mars returned to your communication sector is separating from their friendly aspect yesterday, it is keeping you emotionally engaged and aware as the warrior planet of the cosmos gets a major boost. As their friendly trine aspect peaks, Mars’ war on communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, is benefiting from Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes.

When the Moon returns to your relationship sector tomorrow, this won’t take away from the focus that has been on matters of the heart, for there are planets in your romantic sector for the rest of the year. That won’t be the case when the asteroid Juno leaves your relationship sector next week. With the Moon not only returning tomorrow but on the same day that the queen of commitment will move into her final seven days, when the focus shifts onto your relationships, there is a need to pay attention.

On the same day that Pluto turns direct in your relationship sector, the Sun moves into his final week in your communication sector, with the two coming together with perfect timing. With today’s romantically charged lunar vibes bringing a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure together and Venus, the planet of love retrograding back into your communication sector next week the love, communication and relationship gods are working together as they traverse the past, present and future.

The Moon might be delivering its monthly work/life balance reminder, but the timing couldn’t be better. With the Moon not only returning to your romantic sector tomorrow but on the same day that the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment will be moving into her final seven days, there will be no room for excuses. There is not only a romantically charged weekend coming up, with all planetary activity on the romantic front until the Sun returns just before Christmas ending next week.

At the same time that the Moon’s monthly visit to your communication sector comes just as there is some serious support for your relationships, Pluto turns direct in your romantic sector today. While this will shift the focus off the past and onto the future while giving matters of the heart the green light with Venus, the planet of love retrograding back into Libra next week, without having to close old doors.

Knowing that a day before Venus, the planet of love will retrograde back out of Scorpio next week Mercury will turn retrograde, something that will keep him here until she returns in December, is taking away all of the urgency. With the Moon returning to your romantic sector before Venus leaves next week, while Mercury focus will be more on having the communication lines open, she is free to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down love’s memory lane with an open ticket.

As the Moon moves through Sagittarius he has only one planet in your relationship sector to clash with, which is already behind you, while there are four planets in your romantic sector to form a friendly aspect to before it leaves. With Mars moving through an adventurous part of your chart doing the same, this is having a far greater impact on the spirit of romance. However, if the Moon did push some buttons yesterday, Pluto’s direct turn in your communication sector today will help with that.

While Venus, the planet of love will be in retrograde motion for another four weeks, only the next nine days will be in a social and serendipitous part of your chart. While there are planets staying on that will keep you socially engaged and connected and you even have Mercury returning retrograde here next week in order to keep old doors open and the laws of synchronicity in play. However, it is only while Venus is here that you have both the laws of attraction and synchronicity at work.

Thanks to the Moon’s connection to both yesterday, as a friendly trine aspect between Mars in your relationship sector and Saturn in your communication sector peaks, you are already emotionally engaged and aware. Mars is not the first planet to form a friendly aspect to planets in your communication sector as they moved through your relationship sector this year, but he is the last and together with Saturn, has the weight that can have a powerful impact on the communication lines on the relationship front.

Even though Venus, the planet of love will retrograde back out of an adventurous part of your chart next week, she will not only end the year back here, but while she’s gone, her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together will remain in safe hands. This will be a group effort, with planets staying on here and with the support of the dwarf planet Ceres in your romantic sector that is locked in for the rest of the year.
