Still separating from an alignment with Mars, still the new kid on the block yesterday, the Moon is still in your romantic sector as it aligns with Jupiter here today. Still just three months into what Jupiter will be working to make a lucky year for love, he is able to take the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos by the hand as you get a feel for how to manage and channel his romantic passions and fighting spirit.

By the time the Moon returns to your romantic sector tomorrow, it will have been two weeks since the Sun not only left but ended all planetary activity on the romantic front until Mars returns at the end of November. That the Moon will be returning in the heart of the working week makes it even more important to heed recent work/life balance reminders and especially with Venus, the planet of love settling into her first full week in retrograde motion in your relationship sector.

Eight days after his return to your communication sector, Mars’ war on communication roadblocks and barriers has been given a boost thanks to his clash with Pluto over the weekend and now, he has the Moon and Jupiter aligned to give you better control. Mars is the warrior planet of the cosmos and his clash with Pluto is helping to fire up his war on communication roadblocks and barriers. As the Moon and Mercury align in your communication sector today, this is calming things down and allowing you to focus more on the words, without denting your weekend spirit.

When Venus, the planet of love turned retrograde in your romantic sector over the weekend, this was a game changer. This hasn’t just opened the doors to the past and second chances. Just as she should be leaving, Venus is instead staying on and while she will retrograde back out later in the month, she will return in early December to end the year and begin 2027 here, while Mercury who returned last week, will stay on in order to keep her seat warm while she’s gone.

While it is not until the Moon crosses the lunar nodes just before leaving Leo tomorrow that a balance between your own and your relationship needs will stop being under so much scrutiny, tension or strong emotional responses that came with this will be dialling back. With Pluto turning direct in your relationship sector next week and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment on her way back, this is waking you up to your own and your relationship needs and priorities.

While the Moon’s clash with the asteroid Juno in your romantic sector yesterday may have thrown up some obstacles, roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, as the queen of commitment this is making you more determined to make her final weeks here count. Knowing that once she leaves this will end all planetary activity on the romantic front until the Sun returns just before Christmas and between now and then the year will only get busier, Juno is giving you the resolve to follow your heart.

At the same time that a clash between the Sun in Libra and Saturn in your relationship sector that peaked yesterday is separating, the pressure that the Moon and Mars have been putting on Pluto in your romantic sector is also dialling back. Today this is being replaced by the Moon’s friendly aspect to Saturn, something that is making this a good day for friendship and relationship building, while in his last full week in retrograde motion, this has spurred Pluto on to make the most of the doors open to the past and second chances.

As it has been 26 days since Venus returned to Scorpio for what is normally a 24 day chance to update your romantic and relationship desires, hopes and aspirations for the coming year, the planet of love should have left by now. Instead, her retrograde turn over the weekend is not only keeping her here, but the Moon’s departure from an adventurous part of your chart yesterday is locking in the spirit of romance, which is also here to stay.

While it is a given that the Moon’s return to an adventurous part of your chart each month was going to see it form a friendly aspect to all four planets in your romantic sector as it moves through. For the first time this year, Mars is not only along for the ride but is adding fuel to a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure, just as there have been some recent wakeup calls.

As well as leaving you more emotionally engaged and aware, when the Moon left your relationship sector yesterday, it was with a better understanding of your relationship needs and priorities. This first visit since Mars left last week and since the heat died down has put the focus on the dwarf planet Ceres, her deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities and the support this has from Venus and Mercury, the planets of love and communication.

While the Moon is still in your relationship sector, it has moved on from where yesterday it had become embroiled in a clash between Mars and Pluto, as they hashed out a balance between your own and your relationship needs. With this behind you but the Moon still here, this is a day for letting things settle while remaining emotionally engaged and aware.

While tension between Mars and Pluto is dialling back, as you move into some of the busiest months of the year, where this has put a spotlight on how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off couldn’t be more important. With Venus, the planet of love settling into her first full week in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart and the Moon returning to your relationship sector tomorrow, this is something you need to make time for.
