As the first full week of 2026 draws to a close, so too does the Moon's first visit to your romantic and relationship sectors for the year. Having spent the early part of the week in your romantic sector, as the Moon leaves your relationship sector, it is going to leave you more emotionally engaged and aware and with a lot to unpack. With no planetary activity in either, as well as leaving you more aware of your own and your relationship needs, with time to prepare for when the Moon returns to your romantic sector in three weeks as a Full Moon.

The Moon is making its first visit to your romantic and relationship sectors for the year this week, with each important for its own reason. With no planetary activity in your romantic sector, but the Moon returning in early February as a Full Moon and Jupiter in June to begin your luckiest year for love and matters of the heart in over a decade, having it here on Monday and Tuesday is doing more than just getting the week off to a romantically charged. The Moon is only passing through and will be gone by Wednesday, but this will put matters of the heart on your radar from the start, with these romantically charged lunar vibes hinting at what is to come. Meanwhile, when the Moon returns to your relationship sector on Friday, it will be for its first visit since Chiron, the planet of healing turned direct here and just as the dwarf planet Eris moves into her final three days in retrograde motion. It is while the past, present and future are overlapped that the Moon will give you an intuitive read on each.

While things are relatively quiet on the romantic and relationship fronts this month, don't think that this is what you can expect from the coming year. Instead, with Jupiter returning to your romantic sector in June to begin your luckiest year for love, matters of the heart and all things romantic in over a decade, this is something that from the start you should be working towards. This includes paying attention during the Moon's monthly visits and from the start, working towards making your life as love friendly as possible. The Moon will make its first visit to your romantic sector for the year from 5th January to 7th January and while the fleeting visit that it makes every four weeks, each one gets you closer to Jupiter's return. With the Moon set to come full circle on 1st February to begin the lead up to a Full Moon a day later, this can be seen as a practice run. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your relationship sector until the second half of the year and even then, with just the Sun, Mercury and Venus returning this year, here the Moon's monthly visits are just as important. It is two days after leaving your romantic sector that the Moon will return for its first visit to your relationship sector for the year, from 9th January to 11th January. As is the case with each monthly visit, this will be a chance to check in and become more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. Also important, with no planetary activity on the relationship front until the second half of the year, are the Moon's monthly visits to your communication sector, which can help to keep the communication lines open. The Moon will start the year in your communication sector before leaving on 3rd January, only to return again from 28th January to 30th January. Each time, this will make it easier to give your emotional responses a voice and to wear your heart on your sleeve.
