The first full moon of 2024 serves your love life in extravagant ways! Unfolding in the fellow fire sign of Leo on January 25, this lunation serves as a reminder that you’re a passionate individual who requires loud displays of affection in your relationships. Regardless of whether it’s a long-term love affair or simply a temporary cuffing season fling, you need to feel seen, acknowledged, and, most importantly, appreciated. However, as February 14 comes around, you’ll be less concerned with the attention gained from admirers as Mars bonds with Pluto in Aquarius, prompting you to fiercely liberate yourself from public opinion. Shaking the table with your innovative ideas is a part of who you are, but try not to let it alienate you from your peers. Everyone needs a support system, even you. Troubles relating to your peers seem to dissipate entirely by March 25, as the Libra lunar eclipse brings your most intimate connections to light. Partnership doesn’t have to be limiting – it can even encourage you to embrace the parts of yourself you’re most proud of. You’ll benefit from leaning into your connections now rather than relying on nothing but self-sufficiency. The people around you are here to motivate you, not stand between you and your goals.
As Venus shifts into Aries on April 5, you’ll welcome self-love with open arms. Just don’t be surprised if this attracts the attention of onlookers – when you prioritize self-admiration, others can’t help but notice. Nothing is standing between you and your desires now, making this an incredibly impulsive time in your love affairs, too. The hasty decisions you make now will result in instant (but temporary) gratification. Still, by the time Venus and Jupiter meet in Taurus on May 23, you’ll be more interested in connections that can stand the test of time. If you’ve been seeing someone who makes you consider what a future together could look like, now is the time to lock it down! While you may enjoy flying by the seat of your pants, you secretly love stability, too. By the time Mars, your ruling planet, shifts into Taurus on June 8, your desire for romantic stability will only intensify. Some relationships may be fleeting, but others are worth fully investing in. By the time Venus in Leo stares down Pluto in Aquarius on July 12, you’ll be willing to go to great lengths to express your feelings for a special someone. Romantic desire will be at an all-time high today, so be sure to exercise caution when it comes to drastic displays of affection.
The Leo new moon on August 4 introduces new, passionate connections into your world, offering flirtatious opportunities for new connections. You’ll be attracted to people who aren’t afraid to love you out loud and are unphased by your bold and assertive nature. While this fling may be short-lived, it’s an opportunity to re-familiarize yourself with what you deserve in relationships – someone who encourages you to be the loudest version of yourself. On September 22, you’ll set your sights on deeper, more intimate connections as Venus in Libra squares off with Pluto in Capricorn. Remember that you don’t always need to establish dominance in your dynamics with others. Allow your partner to take the lead, and give yourself a break.
The solar eclipse in Libra on October 2 brings your relationships with others into sharp focus, reminding you not to over-rely on the presence of another person. While this year has taught you how to lean on others, remember that you’re still a competent individual all on your own. Partnership should feel like a choice, not a need. However, during the Scorpio new moon on November 1, you’ll cautiously assess the boundaries in your romantic affairs to ensure your special someone is truly trustworthy. This could be the start of a new, intimate dynamic together that allows you to show up as your most vulnerable self. Finally, as Mars stations retrograde in Leo on December 6, activity in your love life will slow down, prompting you to do a self-check-in. Are you feeling fed by your romantic partner? If not, it’s time to redirect your energy. Your 2024 love journey may have brought you some satisfying connections, but the relationship you hold with yourself should always remain a priority.
