ARIES
On both the romantic and relationship fronts there's a need to take things slowly, as you prepare for a turnaround on both fronts next week. Saturn's last full week in direct motion in your relationship sector is all about looking towards the future and what you're working towards, without pushing anything. At the same time Venus, planet of love's last full week in a nostalgic part of your chart gives you a chance to look back, taking a trip down love's memory lane when you can. With Venus returning to your sign next Wednesday, the same day Saturn turns retrograde and the same day as a Full Moon in your romantic sector, the love gods are asking you to be patient. With next week such a game changing week on both fronts, take the time to establish your romantic and relationship priorities.
TAURUS
After turning retrograde in your romantic sector last week Mars, planet of passion is still moving at a crawl, knowing he has until mid April to access the second chances the door is now open to. It's on Thursday that Venus, planet of love and romance will move into opposition with Mars, applying just enough pressure to make sure that things haven't become stuck. Spending her last full week in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, she is encouraging you to take your hands off the wheel, challenging you to let go of old security blankets and anything that could keep you stuck. With Venus due to return to your sign in early March but returning to a nostalgic part of your chart next week, the path to the future seems to lie through the past.
GEMINI
At the same time that Venus, planet of love is spending her last full week in a competitive part of your chart, Saturn is spending his last full week in direct motion in your romantic sector, before turning retrograde next week. Already at a crawl Saturn is not pushing for any progress, but is instead asking you to slow down and take the time to identify your romantic goals and objectives, before turning and opening the door to the past. Together Venus and Saturn give you a chance this week to focus on the future and on what you want from love, giving you something to strive for. This is one year when time is on your side, with some of the most romantic months of the year not kicking off until early April. If you know what you want from love it will be a lot harder to drift off course.
CANCER
Mercury, planet of communication's departure from your relationship sector over the weekend has left you with the tools to keep the communication lines open, but he's left the responsibility up to you as well. This brings to an end an active phase that began late November, to establish your relationship priorities and to put things on the track that you want them to continue on. While Pluto will stay behind to keep things in motion and Mars now has the communication lines open to the past, it's more about keeping your relationships on track and making a commitment to the journey ahead. There will never be a time when your relationships reach a point where they can be parked, for this will always be a journey that is constantly in motion.
LEO
Mercury's return to your relationship sector over the weekend completes the line up needed to bring things home, in what has to be one of the most important relationship weeks of the year. While the conditions are no more nor less spectacular or focused than they have been, they are more focused than they are about to be. For it's on Saturday that Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies will leave your relationship sector, not to return in your lifetime. It's in his final days in your relationship sector that Neptune is working to finalise a campaign that began back in 1998, of defining your relationship expectations. With the Sun and Mercury on board and staying on to help you with the follow through, this is a week for establishing what you really want from your relationships.
VIRGO
Mercury, planet of communication's departure from your romantic sector over the weekend brought an active phase that began in November, of defining your romantic expectations and for putting things on the track you want them to continue on, to an end. Mercury left you with the tools to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, but it's up to you to continue what he started. Mercury's departure from your romantic sector means that the focus has shifted to your relationships where Venus, planet of love is engaging your heart and evoking a strong sense of what you want. Don't be put off by any relationship pressure this week, for it's simply the bar being raised and the trees being shaken ahead of Neptune's return over the weekend, kicking off a whole new chapter.
LIBRA
As you move into the new week the Moon is wrapping up his second visit to your relationship sector for the year, having come full circle from his position here as you moved into the New Year. As well as giving you a chance to come back to the intentions you moved into the New Year with, as the last visit before Venus returns next week this provides some valuable clues to what lies ahead. This makes Monday a day to focus on your relationships, listening to your intuition, in a week that is dominated by romantic forces. As Mercury spends his first week in your romantic sector he's able to give your heart a voice during Neptune's final days. Due to leave your romantic sector over the weekend and not to return in your lifetime, Neptune is encouraging you to believe in love.
SCORPIO
There is a sense of romantic anticipation in the air as Venus reaches a point in your romantic sector where she's creating some bold desires and expectations. If Venus is doing her job this will have you wanting and expecting more, making it hard to settle for less or nothing at all, with a sense that the love gods are stirring. Expect some pressure, which is more a wake up call ahead of Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies' return to your romantic sector over the weekend, opening the door to a whole new era. While you wait for Neptune's return you'll have a chance to focus on your relationships, as the Moon makes his second visit to your relationship sector for the year. It's Tuesday and Wednesday that gives you a true sense of where things stand and how much more is possible.
SAGITTARIUS
As you move into the new week the Moon is already in the process of wrapping up his second visit to your romantic sector for the year, but also his last before Venus, planet of love returns next week. You moved into the New Year with the Moon in your romantic sector, so this is giving you a chance to go back to the feelings, sentiments and expectations you moved into the year with, updating this to where things are now and getting a jump on the new doors due to open next week. The Moon will visit your relationship sector between Thursday and Saturday, giving you a chance to focus on your relationships before Venus' return to your romantic sector next week, giving you a chance to deal with anything that needs addressing before some of the most romantic weeks of the year begin.
CAPRICORN
The Moon will visit both your romantic and relationship sectors this week, in both cases giving you a chance to come back to earlier intentions or revelations and in each case giving you an intuitive sense of where to from here. It's on Monday that the Moon will return to your romantic sector, making his second visit for the year. The Moon's first visit was just days into the New Year and just days after Jupiter turned direct on Boxing Day, before things had started to move. As the Moon returns you're able to check how much progress has been made and where you might need to get out and push things. Likewise the Moon's return to your relationship sector over the weekend sees him come full circle from the Full Moon on the 9th January, putting some more pieces of the puzzle together.
AQUARIUS
In the countdown to some of the most romantic conditions in decades, kicking off with Venus' return to your romantic sector in early April and solidifying with Jupiter's return in June, the Moon's monthly visits are all you have to keep things on track. This makes the Moon's return to your romantic sector on Thursday, for what is his second visit for the year, more important than you realise, giving you a chance to once again get your bearings and an intuitive read on your heart. These monthly visits from the Moon are giving you a chance to check that you're on track, each visit providing more clues and to make sense of the clues left during the last visit. While you can't see the entire map just yet, trust the parts that you can see.
PISCES
While the week itself may get a bit rocky, all will be forgiven by the weekend, with the love gods taking off the gloves and getting things out in the open first. As Venus spends her last full week in your sign before leaving next Wednesday and she waits the return of Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies back into your sign on Saturday, there is a growing sense of anticipation and confidence in what the future holds. This comes just as Mars spends his first full week in retrograde motion in your relationship sector, where your focus has shifted to the past. Venus and Mars not only disagree on whether the focus should be on romance or your relationships or on the future or the past, they will move into opposition, creating some pressure but giving you a chance to find the right balance. |
