The year not only begins on a romantically charged note but with the spirit of romance and adventure in effect. Thanks to Venus' return to an adventurous part of your chart just before Christmas, the planet of love spent the remaining days of 2019 and will spend the first two weeks of 2020 here. While Venus is capable of bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together on her own, it helps to know that you will also move into the New Year with the asteroid Juno in your romantic sector. Together this will stamp the spirit of romance and adventure into the DNA of the year before it even begins. Venus will be gone by 14th January but the Sun will return a week later, leaving the spirit of romance and adventure in safe hands. Meanwhile, while you begin the year with no planetary activity on the relationship front this is more a chance to take a brief break. Until Mercury left your relationship sector in the closing days of December, there had been continuous planetary activity in your relationship sector since October 2018. The Sun took the solar spotlight off your relationships just before Christmas but Mercury, the planet of communication stayed on for another week to focus on ending the year with the communication lines open. {ads_delimiter}This is where things stand at the start of the year, with no planetary activity on the relationship front but with a good sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. However, this is far from the end of the story, with Mars' return to your relationship sector on 3rd January opening the door to a whole new chapter. Everything until this point, including the 13 months Jupiter spent in your relationship sector from November 2018 to December 2019 and the three years that Saturn spent here, from December 2014 to December 2017, can be seen as a mission to get to the heart of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Apart from the Moon's visit to your relationship sector from 20th January to 22nd January, Mars will spend all his nearly seven weeks here on his own, helping you to fight for what you want from your relationships.
