When Mercury, the planet of communication left Aries over the weekend, the importance of Venus’ early return to your communication sector kicked in. Last year Venus didn’t return to begin her annual mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice until July, but while she is only here for another 13 days, Mercury’s return later next week will be in time to pass the ball back before she leaves.

It is in the heart of the working week that in his first week in Taurus, Mercury’s friendly aspect to the South Node in your romantic sector peaks. The Sun and Venus, the planet of love did the same last month and when he returns to Taurus later in the month Mars will do the same, each time cementing the support for matters of the heart and confirming what your heart is telling you.

Knowing that by the time the Moon returns to your relationship sector later in the month the Sun will be in Gemini and they will clash as a Full Moon, makes the last few days all the more important. As the Moon leaves today, this will leave you more emotionally engaged and aware and especially of anything out of balance. This gives you something to work on, knowing that as a Full Moon, next time any reminders will be less forgiving.

In a case of perfect timing, it is just as a friendly aspect between Mercury, the planet of communication and the South Node in your communication sector peaks, that the Moon returns to your relationship sector and into a friendly aspect to both. While the Moon’s monthly visits can evoke some strong emotional responses and even push buttons, but with a chance to ensure the communication lines are open from the start.

Right up to the moment the Moon leaves your romantic sector today, it is forming a friendly aspect to the five planets in an adventurous part of your chart. Having formed a friendly aspect to Mars and Eris, the warrior prince and princess of the cosmos there yesterday, it is a friendly aspect to Chiron, the planet of healing before leaving today keeps the spirit of romance and adventure alive, but in a way that could be healing or cathartic.

Heart of the working week or not, the Moon’s return to your romantic sector not only has support from the start, but beyond bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together, this is going to be good for body, mind and soul. After some tension in the heavens over the last seven days, this puts the Sun and Moon back in harmony on a day when, with or without these romantically charged lunar vibes, the spirit of romance and adventure was going to come together.

Before leaving your communication sector today, the Moon will form a friendly aspect to the last of the five planets in your relationship sector. Still separating from a friendly aspect to the other four planets in your relationship sector, it is a friendly aspect to Chiron, the planet of healing that is giving words the power to heal, while leaving you more emotionally engaged and aware.

It is just as a friendly aspect between Mercury, the planet of communication in your relationship sector and the South Node in your friendship sector peaks, that the Moon not only returns to your communication sector today, but into a friendly aspect to both. As well as kicking off a positive few days across the communication, social and relationship fronts, after clashing as a Full Moon over the weekend, this is putting the Sun and Moon back in harmony.

By the time the Moon leaves Sagittarius today, there will be a lot to unpack on the romantic and relationship fronts. A clash with both planets in your relationship sector has left you more aware of a balance between your own and your relationship needs, while a friendly aspect to the five planets in your romantic sector has given the spirit of romance a boost. The last just before leaving is with Chiron, the planet of healing.

It is just as Mercury, still in his early days in your romantic sector has formed a friendly aspect to the South Node in an adventurous part of your chart, that the Moon not only returns to Capricorn today, but into a friendly aspect to both. Mercury is not the first and he won’t be the last planet this year to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together but this time, with the Moon amplifying the experience.

While Venus, the planet of love is only in your romantic sector for another 13 days and the Sun is 15 days away from returning to put the solar spotlight on matters of the heart, with Mercury returning at the end of next week there will be no drop off. Not this month or any other month for the next seven years, for it was at the end of last month that Uranus returned and he’s not leaving until 2033. The spirit of romance is here to stay.

Three days after his return for a short 14 day visit to your communication sector Mercury, the planet of communication’s friendly aspect to the South Node in your relationship sector peaks. Mercury is not the first and he won’t be the last planet to connect, but as the planet of communication and with the Moon forming a friendly aspect to both today, this could be your best chance to really get the communication lines open.
