It was late last month that after 18 months the North Node left your romantic sector, ending all continuous activity on the romantic front until early next year. However, as the North Node has not only just spent the last 18 months acting as your heart's internal compass but was here during the final 12 months of Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams' 13 year transit through your romantic sector, you no longer need the love gods holding your hand. A sense of direction and of what you want from love has been banked and the Moon's return every four weeks will be enough to keep the spirit of romance alive. However, it helps that in this first month on your own, the Moon will make two visits to your romantic sector. The Moon will begin the month in your romantic sector and having returned five days after the North Node left and not leaving until 3rd August, this will get the month off to a romantically charged start. At the other end of the month, the Moon will come full circle from 28th August to 30th August, ending the month on a romantically charged note as well. By then Venus, the planet of love will be in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and there will be a lot more romantic nostalgia. Venus will return on 7th August to begin what is normally a short 24 day nostalgic trip down love's memory lane. Instead, slowing ahead of a retrograde turn after she returns to Scorpio next month, by the time she leaves, she will have been here for over five weeks. This will see Venus return three days after, on 4th August Chiron, the planet of healing will turn retrograde in your relationship sector, something that will see him retrograde back out again next month. The Moon, who returns to your relationship sector on 5th August, will still be here when Venus returns on 7th August, but will leave a few hours later, ensuring you are emotionally engaged and aware as the doors open to the past.
