Aries

A pair of eclipses this week is bound to shake things up a bit, but it’s the Venus eclipse in your communication sector on Wednesday that will have the biggest impact. Already in retrograde motion and on a mission to give unsaid words a voice, Venus steps out of the shadows to make her voice one of the most powerful in the solar system. This comes just as Mercury, planet of communication is reaching out to Saturn, in retrograde motion in your relationship sector. With Venus and Saturn both turning direct later this month, Mercury is working to ensure that as well as having the communication lines running into the past, that they are operating well into the here and now and when it comes to moving on. This makes communication the key to everything this week, with authenticity a must.

Taurus

Having spent the weekend in your relationship sector that Moon allows you to move into the new week having had a chance to get your bearings, having come full circle from a Full Moon early last month. Having got that out of the way and having had a chance to address any relationship issues or to simply give your relationships some much needed attention, the focus shifts back to all things romantic. For on Monday it’s just a month to the day before Mars, planet of passion is due to leave your romantic sector, wrapping up an 8 month visit that began in November 2011, his longest visit here in 47 years. Now that you’re coming into the home straight it’s time to throw everything you can into your romantic passions, leaving no room for regret.

Gemini

A pair of eclipses is set to polarise things on both the romantic and relationship fronts this week, leaving you in no doubt how you really feel. The week kicks off with a lunar eclipse in your relationship sector that is set to bring things to a turning or tipping point and is followed up by a much rarer Venus eclipse on Wednesday. It’s in your sign that Venus will cross the face of the Sun to reveal in very clear and certain terms what your heart really feels and what you really want and need from love. It’s this pair of eclipses, just 48 hours apart, that will create vibrations that will send ripples out into the past and the future, creating a new level of authenticity on both the romantic and relationship fronts, while at the same time sending a clue for anything waiting in the wings.

Cancer

A sense of both romantic and relationship nostalgia is only going to intensify, but rather than fight it this is something that you need to embrace. Having spent the weekend in your romantic sector the Moon leaves in the early hours of the week, leaving behind clues to what the future might hold and what you might need to do now in order to start lining up for that future. With Venus not turning direct until later in the month and not returning to your sign until August, this gives you time to continue with a trip down love’s memory lane. Avoid a temptation to over think this, telling yourself that it’s time to move on. The Moon’s visit to your relationship sector from Wednesday to Friday might push some buttons, but comes just when the communication lines are most likely to open.

Leo

You have arrived at one of the most exciting romantic weeks of the year to date, with a pair of eclipses electrifying things and bringing the element of fate and the laws of attraction and synchronicity into play. The week kicks off with a lunar eclipse in your romantic sector on Monday and as a super charged Lovers Moon this brings the element of fate into play, creating vibrations and ripples that will bring anything pending to a head, as well as sending signals out into the future. It’s 2 days later that a much rarer Venus eclipse, in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, brings the laws of attraction and synchronicity into play in a powerful way, setting the scene for some serendipitous moments or encounters. Both have the power to bring things to a turning or tipping point.

Virgo

With Pluto already in retrograde motion in your romantic sector, having turned retrograde in April and staying in retrograde motion until September, you’re already taking a trip down love’s memory lane. This week your relationships join in this nostalgic and retrospective focus with Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies turning retrograde in your relationship sector on Tuesday and Chiron, planet of healing slowing down ahead of his retrograde turn here next Tuesday. It’s Chiron’s retrograde turn next week that will begin what has now become an annual healing process, but until then Neptune is your tour guide, which means viewing the past with rose coloured glasses. The reality checks can come later, with a chance this week to revisit the past and recapture something lost or missing.

Libra

The Moon’s return to your romantic sector on Friday will set the scene for a romantically charged weekend, especially as you have no planetary activity here and only the Moon’s monthly visits to keep things on track. In any other week this would have been the high point of the week for all things romantic, but this is literally being eclipsed by an event mid week. It’s on Wednesday that Venus, planet of love and romance will cross the face of the Sun to form a rare Venus eclipse, unleashing all the hidden and suppressed longings and feelings your heart has been holding back on. Falling in an adventurous part of your chart this will bring both the opportunity and the courage to take a leap of faith, making a bold move to escape from a romantic rut or from simply going through the motions.

Scorpio

Romantic and relationship forces are battling for your attention this week and while you need to honour both, it’s your relationships that need to come first. For this is Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion’s last full week in your relationship sector and as he’s not coming back until 2023 and there’s no more planetary activity here once he’s gone until April 2013, you’ve got to make it count. It’s what you’re willing to invest into your relationships this week, either in terms of the intentions set or concrete steps taken, that will determine what you get back over the coming months and years. Meanwhile, Neptune’s retrograde turn in your romantic sector on Tuesday gives you a chance to take a trip down love’s memory lane, preferably wearing your rose coloured glasses.

Sagittarius

While a lunar eclipse in your sign on Monday will put direct pressure on the Sun in your relationship sector, creating some relationship tension in the early days of the week, any buttons being pushed are more a case of the love gods making sure you’re not asleep at the wheel. For it’s just 2 days later that everything is set to come together in the form of a very rare Venus eclipse, in your relationship sector on Wednesday. This will see Venus, currently too close to the Sun to be seen in the night sky, spend 6 hours moving across the face of the Sun and across the brightest stage lighting in the solar system. As the planet of love takes centre stage this is going to bring your deepest relationship desires, wants and needs out of the shadows, making this impossible to ignore.

Capricorn

This week marks the end of one era and the start of the next, with a crossover between the two creating some continuity and a chance to integrate one into the other. For this is Jupiter’s last full week in your romantic sector and due to leave next Tuesday, not to return until 2023, this is the final week for laying everything on the line. Your romantic sector has been continuously active since April 2011, but after the Sun and Mercury left late last month it’s been up to Jupiter to wrap things up, a job he’s taking seriously this week, helping you to put things on the path you want them to continue on. Yet it’s on Thursday that Mercury returns to your relationship sector, kicking off 3 active months on the relationship front which will allow you to take things to the next level.

Aquarius

Having Venus in your romantic sector for 4 months, instead of the normal 4 weeks, is one thing and even having Jupiter on his way and due to arrive next week is a big deal, but the real magic starts this week. It’s a pair of eclipses, falling within 48 hours of each other that are set to unleash the laws of attraction, synchronicity, fate and destiny, making this a week for taking your hands off the wheel from the get go. The week begins with a lunar eclipse in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, which operates under the laws of synchronicity. This sets the scene for some serendipitous moments or encounters, but it’s a much rarer Venus eclipse in your romantic sector on Wednesday that is the real game changer. From this point on denying something real is no longer an option.

Pisces

You reach an important milestone on Monday, one that puts Mars just a month away from leaving your relationship sector and wrapping up his 8 month visit. It has been a rocky, an up and down and often roller coaster ride on the relationship front, as the warrior planet of the cosmos makes his longest visit to your relationship sector in 47 years. Normally here for just 6 weeks, this has been anything but a brush over, with a chance to get right to the bottom of relationship issues and to establish what you’re fighting for and against. It’s time now to bring things home. However, what you need is some light relief, with Mercury’s return to your romantic sector on Thursday kicking off the 3 most romantically charged months of the year. It’s then that your heart will find its voice.
