Ahead of the Moon and Mercury, the planet of communication’s return to your communication sector tomorrow, something that is going to make her final 48 hours here some of the best, Venus is making the most of a chance to make it just about her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice. As Venus is getting ready to move on, her replacements are on the way.

In his last full day in Taurus Mercury, the planet of communication is able to take advantage of having the Moon here and the lead up to the New Moon underway in order to make his final hours count. Knowing that Venus, the planet of love is just two days away from your communication sector and from the start of her annual mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice, allows Mercury to focus on simply getting the ball rolling.

Venus, the planet of love is not only heading into her last weekend in Gemini, but ahead of the Moon and Mercury’s return tomorrow, is making the most of a chance to focus on your romantic and relationship desires, hopes and aspirations for the future, without a thought to the when, where and how. While as the planet of communication, Mercury’s return tomorrow will be good news for your relationships, this will also be the start of the more mundane job of preparing for your new solar year, which begins next week.

At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is heading into her last weekend in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and into the final three days of a nostalgic trip down love’s memory lane that will end with her return to Cancer early next week, the Moon and Mercury are just a day away. With Mercury returning ahead of the Sun and the start of the month long wind down of your old solar year, today is a chance to simply embrace a sense of romantic nostalgia.

At the same time that Pluto is settling into his early weeks in retrograde motion in your relationship sector as Juno, the queen of commitment moves into her final three weeks in direct motion here, she is slowing down as she gets ready to join them. Heading into her last weekend in a social and serendipitous part of your chart Venus, the planet of love is still in harmony with both, with more planets on the way that will continue the relationship support, whether looking to the past, present or future.

With Mercury leaving an adventurous part of your chart tomorrow, the Sun next week, but a New Moon helping to capture the spirit of adventure, this is in turn helping to keep the spirit of romance alive. When Venus, the planet of love left here at the end of last month she left her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together in safe hands, with Mars’ return in three days set to add to that.

Thanks to the Moon’s departure from your relationship sector yesterday, this has left you emotionally engaged and aware as Mars reaches his last full day. Still separating from an alignment with the dwarf planet Eris that has brought the warrior prince and princess of the cosmos together, this includes being more aware of what you are fighting for. Mars is spending his final hours aligned with Chiron, the planet of healing, with a chance to lay some old ghosts to rest.

You are not only heading into the Sun’s last weekend in your relationship sector and Mercury, the planet of communication’s last full day with the Moon here, but with a New Moon making this a time for new beginnings and embracing the future. While the Sun and Mercury are getting ready to leave, Mars is just three days away from returning to keep the momentum going.

Thanks to the Moon’s departure from your romantic sector yesterday, there is a chance to move into Mars’ last weekend here with additional fuel added to his romantic passions and fighting spirit. While the romantically charged lunar vibes of the last few days have run their course, the impact remains. Meanwhile, as Venus, the planet of love moves into her last weekend in your relationship sector, reinforcements are on the way.

You are not only moving into the Sun’s last weekend in your romantic sector and Mercury’s last full day with the Moon here, but with the most romantically charged New Moon of the year giving the spirit of romance an additional boost and a wave of forward momentum. While the Sun, Moon and Mercury are getting ready to leave Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos is just three days away from returning to take over.

As Venus, the planet of love heads into her last weekend in your romantic sector, the Moon and Mercury are both on their way and will return tomorrow. While this will help to make Venus’ last weekend as romantically charged as possible, with Mercury returning before she leaves and the Sun returning next week, the spirit of romance will remain in safe hands.

Having the Moon in your communication sector during Mercury, the planet of communication’s last full day here isn’t the only advantage. With the Sun in his last weekend, an alignment with the Moon is creating a New Moon that can give everything the green light, helping to move things forward and get the communication lines open. With the Moon still separating from its friendly aspect to the South Node in your relationship sector yesterday, it is your relationships that are benefiting from this.
