It is just as Mercury is settling into his first full day in Aries, that the Moon returns to begin the lead up to tomorrow’s New Moon. Ahead of Venus’ return to your communication sector next week, having Mercury in Aries is giving you a head start. From having no support from the communication gods, by the end of next week, you will not only have the planets of love and communication on board, but Uranus returning to spend the next seven years in your communication sector.

While the Moon won’t make its next monthly visit to your romantic and relationship sectors until after Venus leaves Taurus next month, in your romantic sector when she returned and then returning to your relationship sector a few days later, this front loaded the planet of love’s short 24 day visit. Until she leaves next Friday, Venus’ mission to update your romantic and relationship desires, hopes and aspirations for the coming year continues.

With the Sun still four days away from returning to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year, Venus is able to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down love’s memory lane without a need for reality checks. At the same time, the closer the planet of love gets to her return to Gemini next week, the stronger a sense of anticipation is going to become.

When the Moon moved through your romantic sector last week, it formed a friendly aspect to the planets in an adventurous part of your chart, as it has done almost every four weeks for decades. Yet Mercury’s departure yesterday has brought that to an end and with no planets in your romantic or relationship sectors and life taking a busier turn, as the Moon leaves an adventurous part of your chart today, it becomes your job to ensure there is time for matters of the heart and your relationships.

At the same time that you are getting further away from the Moon’s departure from your relationship sector three days ago, you are also drawing closer to an alignment between Juno, the queen of commitment and Pluto, the planet of change and transformation that will begin in two days. After some active months on the relationship front have left you with a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, the time has come to put that into action.

A day after Mercury, the planet of communication not only left your relationship sector but ended all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year, the Moon leaves today. While not for long, the Moon has stayed on long enough to ensure you are emotionally engaged and aware and have a clear sense of what you want from your relationships moving forward. The stars have done their part and now it’s up to you.

It is just as Mercury, the planet of communication is settling into his first full day in your relationship sector that the Moon not only returns, but to begin the lead up to tomorrow’s New Moon. The Moon and Mercury have joined the Sun and the five other planets already here to ensure the communication lines are open and you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware, just as a New Moon brings a chance to draw a new line in the sand.

A day after Mercury not only left your romantic sector, ending his mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, but ended all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year, the Moon leaves. Having the Moon stay on has allowed the spirit of romance to linger and as it will continue to return every four weeks, this gives you something that you’re able to hold onto.

Just as Mercury is settling into his first full day in your romantic sector and of his belated mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, the Moon returns to begin the lead up to tomorrow’s New Moon. With the Sun just days away from leaving and five other planets already here, the spirit of romance has the full weight of the love gods and the solar system itself behind it.

A day after Mercury, the planet of communication left your communication sector and still separating from its friendly aspect to Jupiter in your relationship sector yesterday, the Moon leaves today as well. While the Moon will continue to return to your communication sector every four weeks and until Jupiter leaves in June they will continue to connect, for the first time this year, this leaves keeping the communication lines open up to you.

Just as Mercury, the planet of communication is settling into his first full day in your communication sector and the Sun is just four days away from leaving, the Moon returns to begin the lead up to tomorrow’s New Moon. With the Sun, Moon and six planets in your communication sector, this begins the lead up to the most powerful push of the year when it comes to getting the communication lines open. This includes Mars, who is still in the first week of his first war on communication roadblocks and barriers in two years.

While having the Moon in Pisces as Mercury, the planet of communication left yesterday, has left you better able to get and keep the communication lines open, its friendly aspect to Jupiter in your romantic sector has also given the spirit of romance a boost. As the Moon moves on, as well as leaving you more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware, with everything needed to keep the communication lines open and hold onto the spirit of romance.
