While there are no planets in your relationship sector and there won’t be until early next year, you have the next best thing and for a lot longer than would normally be the case. By the time Venus, the planet of love turned retrograde in your communication sector over the weekend, she was already over three weeks into what is usually a 24 day mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice. At the same time, by the time you move into the new week, Mercury is four days into what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to do what, as the planet of communication, he does best. Yet Venus with already in retrograde motion and Mercury slowing ahead of a retrograde later in the month that will keep him here until December, they are in it for the long haul. By the time they align midweek they will be ready to team up and pool their resources. Meanwhile, with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment now in her final three weeks in your romantic sector and picking up speed after her retrograde phase, this is strengthening the resolve to follow your heart.
