Your year in love begins on January 14 when Venus clashes with Jupiter, prompting unwarranted optimism. You’re currently seeking security, and a desire to be “rescued” from life’s turmoil can motivate you to give your heart to someone for the wrong reasons. Before you leap into a new love affair, consider the basis of your attraction. Striving to see a situationship for what it is (and what it isn’t) can spare you disappointment. Venus enters Aries and your romance zone on February 4, offering better dating prospects. Just mind who you get mixed up with, as Venus will begin its retrograde on March 1! In preparation, examine your tendency to seek out spectacle in the initial stages of relationships. A good love affair thrives on passion, not on drama! The cosmic chaos of the March 29 Aries solar eclipse dismantles any fascinations bound up with red flags. Ultimately, you must respect your time and energy more. That means pumping the breaks on sketchy or shallow entanglements.
On April 12, the Libra full moon inspires collaborations. What individual talents can you lend to a team effort? Identifying your niche within your community and having a solid peer support system should be a given before you go looking for a partnership. As if to affirm this truth, Venus goes direct on the same day, course-correcting your romantic priorities. When Venus re-enters Aries on April 30, love is less a matter of need than a matter of want. Now you can relax and have fun in love without putting undue pressure on yourself to impress. However, stoic Saturn follows Venus into Aries on May 24, which, at least initially, will add stress to your dating life. You may feel unacknowledged or underappreciated. Yet for all it fails to supply in the way of quantity, Saturn’s influence will deliver quality matches. Infatuations that you’d normally rush to phase two will have to develop gradually. Try to enjoy the slow burn! On June 11, the full moon in Sagittarius encourages you to focus on yourself! What are your goals? Have you lost sight of them in your rush to appease others? Strive to be more self-centered today!
You may find yourself paired up once Venus enters Gemini and your zone of partnership on July 4. Having worked through romantic insecurities in the first half of the year, you’re better equipped to compromise without neglecting your desires. A lover who lands in your life now is inquisitive and engaging but also mindful that you must have the freedom to roam. However, once eccentric Uranus enters Gemini on July 7, your love life will be anything but predictable. Get ready to be surprised! Mars enters Libra on August 6, and diplomacy becomes your strength. Bring people together, but beware of overextension. Advocate for a cause close to your heart. Venus and Mars harmonize on September 15, amplifying your sex appeal! You’ll click with someone over shared beliefs or a vision of the future.
On October 6, the Aries full moon is a full circle moment from the April 12 Libra full moon. Your peer group is now solidly established. In fact, you may fall for one of your friends at this time! If so, use this occasion to declare your feelings! On November 30, Venus enters Sagittarius, and over the next three weeks, admirers are drawn to you for your adventurous spirit. Finally, a new love interest manifests under the December 4 Gemini full moon. This could be an odd match, but give it a shot! This person gets the way you think. Even if your connection becomes platonic, they will remain a supportive and trusted ally heading into 2026!
