While on the romantic front itself nothing has changed, in the real world everything has changed. On the one hand, there has been no planetary activity in your romantic sector since Venus left in October, while on the other hand, though not a planet and instead a force that can gently guide or keep things on track, the South Node has been here since January 2025 and will be until it and its partner the North Node leave in July. It is having the South Node here that turned an ordinary Full Moon in March 2025 into a total lunar eclipse and a New Moon in September 2025 into a solar eclipse and it will do it again in March, each time bringing the element of fate into play. While the South Node has been quietly keeping matters of the heart on track and the Moon's monthly visits have been a chance to connect with this, the difference is the return of the Sun and planets to an adventurous part of your chart last month and especially the return of Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion. You begin the year with the Sun, Venus, Mars and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in an adventurous part of your chart, with Mercury joining them on 2nd January. While Juno is here until March, by the time the rest leave this month, they will have all formed a friendly aspect to the South Node. Until Venus leaves on 18th January, this is giving her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together an additional boost, as will the Moon's first visit to your romantic sector for the year, from 7th January to 9th January. Meanwhile, with no planets in your relationship sector since Mercury left in December and none until the second half of the year, the Moon's first visit for the year from 11th January to 14th January will be a valuable chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware. Also benefiting your relationships will be the Moon's return to your communication sector from 3rd January to 5th January, when as the first Full Moon of 2026, this can get the communication lines open.
