While the Moon's return to Aries today is a chance to check in and get your personal bearings, this also kicks off an important few days on the romantic and relationship fronts. The Moon's last visit while Mars is in your relationship sector and the only visit while Venus, the planet of love is in your romantic sector will see it connect with both over the next few days. At the same time that a friendly aspect to Venus will fire up the spirit of romance, a clash with Mars will give you a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.

At the same time that the Sun moves into his final two weeks in your romantic sector, he is coming out from behind the shadow of an eclipsing Full Moon that over the last few days may have exposed any roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined. With Venus, the planet of love returning next week to begin some of the most romantically charged weeks of the year, this gives you something to work on between now and then.

While Mars will leave your romantic sector the day before the Sun returns, by the time the solar spotlight shifts onto matters of the heart and all things romantic in 14 days, he will have spent six and a half weeks firing up your romantic passions and fighting spirit. With Mercury returning next week, there will be no drop off. That won't be the case on the communication front, for when Venus leaves next week and ends her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice, this will end all planetary activity in your communication sector for the year.

While the Moon's departure from an adventurous part of your chart will bring the eclipsing Full Moon here to a close, not the strong mix of romance, adventure and nostalgia that this leaves in its wake. Apart from an alignment with Saturn here, a friendly aspect to the asteroid Juno in your romantic sector comes just as her resolve to follow your heart is gearing up for some serious support. What the Moon touched on over the last few days is here to stay.

While Mars is now in his final two weeks in your communication sector and when he leaves, he won't be back for another two years with Mercury, the planet of communication returning next week, his war on communication barriers will remain in safe hands. This frees Mars to focus less on the words and more on first breaking through communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined.

As the Moon leaves your relationship sector, this might bring the eclipsing Full Moon here to a close, but not the implications. While a clash with the Sun in Virgo might have put a balance between your own and your relationship needs to the test, with support on both sides from the communication gods turning this into an opportunity for a breakthrough. With Mercury, the planet of communication in Virgo and Mars in his final weeks in your communication sector and of his war on communication barriers, the timing couldn't have been better.

While the Moon returns to your relationship sector every four weeks and this is always a valuable chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware, this is also a chance to get a feel for the new lineup. Saturn's departure last week means his relationship boot camp has been put on hold and you no longer have the hard taskmaster of the cosmos breathing down your neck. Instead, there are planets that are helping to smooth troubled waters.

The Moon's departure from your romantic sector might bring the eclipsing Full Moon here to a close, but not what this has helped to ignite. As well as leaving behind Saturn and the North Node, something that turned an ordinary Full Moon into a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's friendly aspect to Jupiter in an adventurous part of your chart was a window into a connection that will continue to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together for the rest of the year and beyond.

Heart of the working week or not, as the Moon returns to your romantic sector to begin some of the most romantically charged days of the month, there is some serious support. As well as aligning with all four planets here over the next few days, starting with an alignment with dreamy Neptune today, the Moon's only visit while Venus, the planet of love is in an adventurous part of your chart is going to give her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together a boost.

As the Moon leaves your communication sector today, as well as bringing the eclipsing Full Moon here to a close, this will end its friendly aspect to Jupiter in your relationship sector that peaked at just the right time. While the Moon is moving on, where this has made progress when it comes to pushing through communication roadblocks and barriers, the planets on the communication and relationship fronts can take it from here.

While the Moon's return to your communication sector today is an ordinary monthly event and something that every four weeks will make it easier to give your emotional responses a voice, it is the timing that makes this significant. As the Moon's only visit while Venus is in your relationship sector, this is going to give the planet of love and your relationships full access to all available communication resources.

As the Moon leaves Pisces and the eclipsing Full Moon runs its course, this will see any tension drop back, along with any strong emotional responses. While it might take a few days for the emotional fog of war to clear, as the Sun moves into his final two weeks in your relationship sector, it will be with a better understanding of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Until he leaves in nine days Mercury, the planet of communication will be hard at work getting the communication lines open.
