There is a changing of the guard on the romantic front this week and thanks to the Moon, an unbroken chain stretching all the way back to Jupiter’s return to your romantic sector in June 2025. It is on Monday that, over two months after returning for what is normally a 14 to 15 day mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, Mercury will finally leave. A retrograde phase kept the planet of communication here during the final four weeks of Jupiter’s 12 month transit through your romantic sector, during the Sun’s month long visit and as Venus, the planet of love moved through. As Mercury leaves, this should be the point when all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year ends. Instead, the Moon is not only here, getting the week off to a romantically charged start, but will stay on until Mars returns on Tuesday to fire things up again. The Moon will leave seven minutes after the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos returns to fire up your romantic passions and fighting spirit, ensuring the chain remains unbroken.
