Because the Sun will always spend the last 10 days and the first three weeks of each year in your romantic sector, the solar spotlight is always on matters of the heart and all things romantic at the start of each year. Even more so this year, with the Sun beginning the year with some impressive company. As well as moving into the New Year with Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion in your romantic sector, it was in the closing 48 hours of 2025 that the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment returned for the first time in four years. While even Mercury, who will return on 2nd January to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page will be gone by the end of the month, Juno is here until the end of March. While Venus will leave on 18th January, the Sun on 20th January, Mercury on 21st January and Mars on 23rd January and in the space of just five days they will all leave, because of Juno's return this won't be the end of all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year, which it otherwise would have been. Meanwhile, the Moon's first visit to your romantic sector for the year couldn't come with better timing, with its return from 17th January to 19th January as the first New Moon of 2026, helping to capture the essence of those departing planets before they leave. It is two days later, that on 21st January the Moon will not only return for its first visit to your relationship sector for the year, but the last before just six days later and having first returned in 2012 Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams leaves on 27th January, not to return again in our lifetime. This is also the Moon's last visit before Saturn leaves next month, though he will stay on until Venus, the planet of love returns and to focus on giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to make Neptune's dreams a reality. The Moon will align with both before leaving on 24th January, giving you a read on the planets that are helping to set your relationships on the course they can continue on.
