The year gets off to an exciting start on both the romantic and relationship fronts and while the early and the latter months of the year will be the most exciting on the romantic front, there is something much bigger pending on the relationship front. The year begins with no planetary activity in your relationship sector, but that is about to change, though with the year getting off to a romantically charged start. While the Sun will always leave your romantic sector just before Christmas, the year begins with Mars, Mercury, Venus and even the dwarf planet Ceres all in your romantic sector, with the planets of love, passion, communication and the queen of nurturing all here through a set of coincidences.

Venus, who should have been and gone by now was late to return because of a retrograde phase. Mercury did leave in December, but a retrograde phase brought him back, while Mars is making his first visit in two years and Ceres her first deep dive into your heart's needs and priorities in four years. While Mars will leave on 5th January, Mercury on 14th January, Venus on 23rd January and Ceres on 8th February, this will get the year off to a romantically charged start. While Mars and Ceres won't be back, Venus will return to do it again from 18th October to 12th November, Mercury from 3rd November 2024 to 8th January 2025 and the Sun from 22nd November to 21st December, making the early and the latter months of the year the most romantically charged.

Meanwhile, it is on 21st January that the Sun will return to your relationship sector, something that will always put the solar spotlight on your relationships at this time of year. However, the Sun will bring Pluto with him and while the planet of change and transformation will retrograde back out for 11 weeks from 2nd September to 20th November, once he is back, he will be here now until 2044. Helping in the early months of a major two decade long journey will be Mercury, who will return to your relationship sector from 5th February to 23rd February, Mars from 13th February to 23rd March and Venus from 17th March to 12th March. Venus will come full circle, with the planet of love joining up with Pluto again from 7th December 2024 to 3rd January 2025.
