While the Sun will always leave your relationship sector just before Christmas each year, sometimes Venus and Mercury's annual visits can spill into the early days or weeks of January, but not to the degree that they are this time. A combination of Mars making his first visit in two years, the dwarf planet Ceres her first visit in four years, Venus late to return because of a retrograde turn and Mercury having retrograded back in after leaving in December, means that you begin the year with the planets of love, communication, nurturing and passion all in your relationship sector. Mars will leave on 5th January, but as Venus only returned on 30th December, she will continue to work her magic until leaving on 23rd January.

Until he leaves on 14th January, Mercury will be working to get the communication lines open while it is not until 8th February that Ceres will end her first deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities in four years. It is rare to have so much planetary activity on the relationship front in the early part of the year, but this not only gets the year off to a good start, but Venus will return on 18th October to do it all over again. Mercury, who will return on 3rd November will once again turn retrograde but this time, instead of retrograding back out the planet of communication will spend his whole time here until leaving on 8th January 2025. Mars and Ceres won't be back this year but along with the Sun, who will return as usual from 22nd November to 21st December, the early and latter months of the year will be the best on the relationship front.

Meanwhile, apart from a Full Moon in your romantic sector on 25th May, matters of the heart will get their turn when the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment returns to her first visit in your romantic sector in four years. this is a visit that will run from 10th August to 3rd November and it is during that time that the Sun, Mercury and Venus will all move through. The most romantically charged weeks of the year will be when Venus moves through your romantic sector from 30th August to 23rd September. Meanwhile, with both the Full Moon in your romantic sector on 25th May and the New Moon on 3rd October eclipses, there is an element of fate in play.
