As Mercury leaves an adventurous part of your chart today, this ends the last link to Venus, the planet of love and the time she spent here working to bring the spirit of romance and adventure. After leaving on Christmas Day, Venus left this in the hands Mercury, who now hands the reins to you. Meanwhile, the Moon’s first visit to your communication sector for the year is making today all about having the communication lines open.

It was earlier in the week that a friendly aspect between Mars in an adventurous part of your chart and the South Node in your romantic sector brought a mix of romance, passion and adventure together. Today it is the Sun and Venus, the planet of love who move into the same aspect, giving Venus’ mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together a serious boost.

Over two months after returning for what is normally a 14 to 15 days to do what as the planet of communication, he can to get the communication lines open, Mercury not only leaves your relationship sector today, but ends all planetary activity on the relationship front until later in the year. After the Sun and Venus, the planet of love left last week and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment, earlier this week, these additional few days have been a chance to nail down the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes.

In a case of better late than never, held back by a retrograde phase of Mercury, the planet of communication finally returns to your relationship sector today and the timing couldn’t be better. Mercury returns just as the Sun and Venus, the planet of love are not only moving towards an alignment in your relationship sector, but just as their friendly aspect to the South Node in your communication sector peaks.

When Mercury leaves your romantic sector today, this not only ends his mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, but all planetary activity on the romantic front until later in the year. After the Sun and Venus, the planet of love left last week, Mars the week before and the queen of commitment earlier this week, these additional days have given you time to cement the resolve to take on responsibility for keeping the spirit of romance alive.

After the Sun and Venus, the planet of love returned to your romantic sector last week, Mars the week before and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment earlier this week, as Mercury returns today the team is complete. Between them, they have everything covered, with the final piece being as the planet of communication, Mercury’s ability to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page.

While Chiron has been at a standstill all week and will be for some time, the planet of healing’s last full day in retrograde motion in your relationship sector is a chance to not only look back, but lay any old ghosts to rest, ready to move on. While Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos won’t turn direct for another 10 days, she is less focused on healing the past and more on fighting to make the most of the doors open to the past and second chances.

Thanks to the Moon’s departure from your relationship sector yesterday and its friendly aspect to the planets already in your communication sector as Mercury, the planet of communication joins them today, the job of getting the communication lines open is already underway. This will add to the growing support for Venus’ mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice.

While the Moon is in your relationship sector as Mercury, the planet of communication leaves Sagittarius today, it is before they can clash or actively compete with each other. Instead, as the Moon keeps you emotionally engaged and aware, Mercury is going to leave you with everything needed to keep the communication lines open until he and a parade of other planets return to your communication sector later in the month.

In between the Moon’s departure from your romantic sector yesterday and its return to your relationship sector tomorrow, it is always going to be important to hold onto the spirit of romance. Making that easier is that as the Moon’s only visit while Venus, the planet of love is in Capricorn, the influence of these romantically charged lunar vibes will remain in safe hands.

Before things take a busier turn, today’s romantically charged lunar vibes are begging to be embraced. While Uranus will return to spend the next seven years in your romantic sector in April and Venus, the planet of love will be there to get things started, this is still three months away. With no planetary activity in your romantic sector until then and the Moon leaving tomorrow, these romantically charged lunar vibes are key to keeping the romantic flame burning until then.

While the Moon and Mercury won’t clash, only because Mercury will leave your career sector before they can. They come close enough to put your work/life balance on the radar without putting this under pressure. This is just enough of a reminder as the Moon not only prepares to return to your romantic sector but as a Full Moon, setting the scene for a romantically charged weekend.
