With no planetary activity in your communication sector and with such a lot of focus on not just your relationships but on a balance between your personal and relationship needs, having the Moon move through couldn't be more important. In a week with some strong influences in play on the romantic and relationship fronts, it is the Moon's ordinary monthly visit to your communication sector that is putting communication at the centre of things today.

It is just as Pluto moves into his last week in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart and as Mercury has reached his last full day in your romantic sector, that their friendly aspect peaks. In the heart of the working week, this has brought the spirit of romance, adventure and nostalgia together five days before Venus, the planet of love is due to begin her mission to do just that.

What a difference a few days can make. Five days after clashing as a Full Moon, as the Moon makes its monthly visit to Gemini a friendly aspect to the Sun in your romantic sector puts them back in harmony. In the heart of Mars' last full week in your romantic sector and with the Moon set to connect with the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos tomorrow, this is helping to restore your romantic confidence.

On the same day that Pluto moves into his last seven days in retrograde motion in your relationship sector and just as Mercury, the planet of communication has reached his last full day in your communication sector their friendly aspect peaks. This is something that has been building for the last few days but when it matters most, the communication and relationship gods have come together to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.

With Venus, the planet of love just five days away from ending her longest visit to Leo since 1810, listening to and having the courage to follow your heart couldn't be more important. Normally Venus will spend just 24 days updating your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year but this year, you have had an incredible four months to work with the planet of love.

Pluto may have come to a standstill but as he moves into his final seven days in retrograde motion in your romantic sector there is nothing but support. As a friendly aspect to Mercury, in his last full day in Virgo peaks and with the planet of communication looking for something to give a voice to, this makes it easier to give your heart, the past and unsaid words a voice.

At the same time that Mars, in his last full week in Libra is crossing the lunar nodes and this is giving the warrior planet of the cosmos a bird's eye view of their policing of a balance between your personal and relationship needs, a clash with the dwarf planet Eris will make any issues more obvious. However, as Eris is the warrior princess of the cosmos this is not just a chance to observe but to fight for what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.

The Moon's departure from your relationship sector yesterday has come with perfect timing. As well as leaving you more emotionally engaged, this first visit since Jupiter turned retrograde has brought old emotional responses to the surface just as Pluto not only moves into his final seven days in retrograde motion in your communication sector but as his friendly aspect to Mercury, the planet of communication peaks.

While having the Moon in your relationship sector doesn't have the potency of a Full Moon in your romantic sector five days ago or the ongoing support, this is a valuable chance to check in. As well as a chance to become more emotionally engaged, a friendly aspect to the Sun in your friendship sector makes this a good day for friendship and relationship building.

The Moon may have left your romantic sector yesterday but the impact from these romantically charged lunar vibes is likely to linger. As the Moon's first visit since both planets here turned retrograde came just as they were separating from a friendly aspect to Mercury, now in his last full day in an adventurous part of your chart this leaves in its wake a mix of romance, adventure and nostalgia that is just a taste of things to come.

While today's romantically charged lunar vibes will have to compete with the working week, a friendly aspect to the Sun in an adventurous part of your chart is creating a ring of support. In the heart of Venus' last full week in your relationship sector and with the communication and relationship gods working in harmony, having the right work/life balance has never been more important.

The stars have come together in support of Mercury, with the planet of communication not only separating from a friendly aspect to both planets in your communication sector as he reaches his last full day in your relationship sector but just as a friendly aspect to Pluto peaks. Over two months after Mercury returned for what is normally a two week visit, you have everything needed to give your relationships a voice.
