While you will begin the year with Mars in your relationship sector, as he will leave on 3rd January he will be fighting to grab your attention from the get go. Mars returned while the Sun and Mercury were still in your relationship sector, so was around during the annual relationship update that takes place in October and November each year. Mars returned during Mercury's final days in retrograde motion here, so was able to take advantage of both the planet of communication's extended stay and of a chance to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice. By the time the Sun and Mercury left, Mars had a good sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you and of what you are fighting for. Mars has been on his own here since early December and whether single, in a relationship or between relationships, he allows you to begin the year ready to fight for what you want from your relationships in 2020. Because Mars will leave in the early days of the month and there will be no more planetary activity in your relationship sector until later in the year, this needs to become part of your New Year's resolutions. {ads_delimiter}The Moon will make its first visit to your relationship sector for the year from 9th January to 11th January and just days after Mars leaves this was always going to be an opportunity to give your emotional responses a voice. However, this will create a solar eclipse that on 10th/11th January offers an opportunity for a breakthrough. In the meantime, just as important is the Moon's first visit to your romantic sector for the year from 14th January to 16th January. With no planetary activity in your romantic sector, these romantically charged lunar vibes are your first real chance to embrace the spirit of romance in 2020. Equally important is the Moon's return to your relationship sector from 18th January to 20th January. This is both the Moon's first visit for the year and the first since Mars left, creating a valuable chance to check in. It is these monthly visits that will keep romantic and relationship matters on track.
