While Venus, the planet of love will leave your romantic sector in the early hours of the month, her departure on 1st December will bring you to the doorstep, while leaving you with everything needed to keep the spirit of romance alive. However, even though by then the Sun, Mercury, Mars and even the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment had all moved through and left your romantic sector, the love gods aren’t quite finished for the year. It was shortly before the Sun left last month that three weeks after leaving, Mercury retrograded back for a do over and a second chance to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page. Mercury only turned direct on 30th November, so is still at a standstill when on 1st December Venus leaves and he is the last planet standing. Over the coming days Mercury will pick up speed before on 12th December, he leaves and ends all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year. However, the love gods aren’t quite done yet, with the Moon returning for its last visit to your romantic sector for the year from 15th December to 17th December, just as things are starting to move on the relationship front. As one door closes, another opens, for just three days after Mercury leaves and ends all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year, on 15th December, Mars will return to your relationship sector to begin the first planetary activity on the relationship front since January. The Moon will still be settling in when the Moon returns for its last visit for the year from 20th December to 23rd December, something that will ensure you are emotionally engaged and aware when the Sun returns on 22nd December. It is five days later that Venus, the planet of love will return on Christmas Day, followed by the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships on 30th December.
