Held back by a retrograde phase Mercury, the planet of communication will finally return to Aries next week, with a retrograde phase that has held him back set to be fortuitous. Instead of long gone, Mercury will be here when a week later Venus, the planet of love returns to your communication sector to begin her annual mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice. Until then, there is a chance to prepare for when the communication lines open.

Just as in her first full week in Taurus Venus, the planet of love is separating from a friendly aspect to the South Node in your romantic sector earlier in the week, the Moon returns to an adventurous part of your chart and into the same aspect. Tomorrow will see the Moon and Venus connect directly, but from the start, this is bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together.

As the Moon leaves your relationship sector, this is going to leave you both emotionally engaged and aware and with a new sense of confidence and awareness. Over the last few days, a friendly aspect to the Sun and all four planets in your friendship sector made these a positive few days for friendship and relationship building, while this last visit for the year with no pushback will have few mixed messages.

Venus, the planet of love is still separating from a friendly aspect to the South Node in your communication sector earlier in the week when the Moon not only returns to your relationship sector today, but into the same aspect. This first visit since the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment left was always going to be a valuable chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware, this time with the support of the love and communication gods from the start.

With no planets in your romantic sector, as the Moon leaves this should leave the spirit of romance with nothing to hold onto. Instead, a friendly aspect to the Sun and all four planets in an adventurous part of your chart has not only brought the spirit of romance and adventure together but has left this in their safe hands.

Heart of the working week or not, with Mars not only in his last full day in your relationship sector and the Moon’s return to your romantic sector bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together from the start, you will need to know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. With Mars not returning for another two years, these final hours are all about something that you can keep fighting for and remain passionate about.

A day before Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos is due to join the Sun and the other four planets in your relationship sector, the Moon leaves and wraps up its monthly visit to your communication sector. A friendly aspect to all over the last few days leaves you better able to keep the communication lines open, just as things are set to power up on the relationship front.

At the same time that Mars has reached his last full day in your romantic sector, the Moon returns for its only visit to your communication sector while Venus, the planet of love is in your relationship sector. With the love, communication and relationship gods out in force, making time and space in your life for them couldn’t be more important.

At the same time that the year itself is getting busier, Mars is getting ready to join the Sun and the four planets already in your romantic sector tomorrow. Rather than wane after Venus, the planet of love left, matters of the heart and all things romantic are set to get a serious boost. This makes the lunar nodes policing of your work/life balance all the more important.

While Mercury, the planet of communication will stay on for another six days, as Mars reaches his last full day in your communication sector this is the beginning of the end of all planetary activity in your communication sector for the year. With the Moon’s return to Capricorn today set to see it clash with Jupiter in your relationship sector, the final hours of Mars’ war on communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined could be the most important.

Over the last few days, the Moon has formed a friendly aspect to the Sun and all four planets in your communication sector, leaving you better able to give your emotional responses a voice. However, this was just the warm up, with Mars returning tomorrow to begin his first war on communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined in two years and Mercury, the planet of communication returning next week.

As the Moon returns for its monthly visit to your friendship sector, this first visit since the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships left is good news for your relationships from the start. A friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Ceres in your communication sector today and to Venus, the planet of love there tomorrow, comes just as they are still tightly aligned.
