While the Moon’s return to your relationship sector today is the ordinary chance that you get every four weeks to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware, it is also the last before Venus returns and the first since Chiron, the planet of healing turned retrograde in your communication sector. Before Venus returns to begin the first planetary activity on the relationship sector front this year, this is a chance to clear the air, with Chiron able to give words the power to heal.

While the Moon will be working to make it final hours in your romantic sector as romantically charged as possible, there isn’t the urgency you would normally expect.

This is not the first time that this has brought a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure together, but with the Sun involved, everything is more transparent.

Things may have taken a busier turn, but this won’t be hard to pick up on, while today the Moon is making a friendly aspect to Mars and Ceres, for the first time since their return to your relationship sector.
