At the same time that Venus, the planet of love is moving into her last full week in your communication sector and of her mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page Mercury, the planet of communication, is drawing closer by the day. Having just left Leo last week, Mercury is racing through the heavens and will reach your communication sector less than 12 hours after Venus leaves and in time to keep the momentum going. With Venus working in harmony with Pluto in your relationship sector since her return, but the lunar nodes now policing a balance between your own and your relationship needs, having the communication lines open has become more important than ever. This might be why Venus is not only slowing down, taking five weeks to move through your communication sector rather than the typical 24 days, but a retrograde turn will bring her back for a second visit between October and December. The communication gods are taking this seriously. Helping with that will be the Moon’s friendly aspect to both Venus and to the North Node and Pluto in your relationship sector when it moves through your friendship sector from Thursday to Saturday.
