Your year in love begins under the January 13 amorous Cancer full moon! Are you mentally prepping to declare your feelings for a crush? You fear you’ll miss your window if you don’t act on this instinct. However, whether this person is “the one” remains to be seen. Take a chance, but be aware that they might not be in a place to reciprocate your sentiments. Someone believes that you’re their perfect match when Venus and idealistic Neptune align on February 1. Unfortunately, their fantasy image of you doesn’t quite align with reality. Avoid indulging their interest until you’ve had more time to get to know them, especially because Venus is set to go retrograde on March 1! When it backtracks into Pisces on March 27, consider the signals you’re sending. People are drawn to your sensitive nature like a homing beacon. They assume you can heal or fix them. If you want others to regard you as an equal and not as their savior, you must get comfortable with drawing better boundaries. Shutting down another’s projections isn’t cruel; it’s actually the most compassionate thing you can do.
You’re a social butterfly once Venus and Mars harmonize on April 6! If a romantic relationship has lately been on the rocks, harness this influence to address the elephant in the room. Good humor diminishes bad blood. Hold off on making new partnerships official until after Venus goes direct on April 12. On May 18, Jupiter clashes with the lunar nodes, asking you to define what you believe constitutes a successful relationship. Should you and your partner share a spiritual connection? Should love provide you peace of mind? Chances are, relationships you’ve invested in in the past have fallen short in these respects. In the coming months, don’t sacrifice your dreams for the prospect of relational security. Keep your personal goals and ambitions top of mind. The June 25 Cancer new moon further emphasizes this point! To summon satisfying love, double down on your passions and pastimes. Be sure someone is capable of fitting into your world, not the other way around.
Friends require your presence and guidance during the July 10 Capricorn full moon. Emphasize community ties. Network. Catching up with your true blues will ground you. A relationship that begins under the August 23 Virgo new moon offers healing. Receiving support without having to fight for it makes you feel seen. However, this bond may be unstable, and eclipse season arrives shortly after that to further shake things up! A recently solidified relationship crumbles after the September 7 lunar eclipse in Pisces. Are you cursed by bad timing? Has your luck run dry? It’s more likely that the universe is looking out for you! It’s natural to feel disappointed by this turn of events, but when the dust settles, you’ll realize that you’ve been divinely protected.
On October 8, Venus and Jupiter auspiciously connect, a reminder that there are plenty of fish in the sea! Renewed confidence draws in admirers, and fosters hope in the possibility of future romance. When Venus and Jupiter harmonize again on November 26, love sweeps you off your feet! Prepare for an extended honeymoon period. This individual wants to share adventures and experiences with you, not tie you down. Finally, Venus enters Capricorn on December 24. If your bond is growing, use this transit to introduce your partner to your social circle. If you are currently single, love may now be found in the form of a friend. After all, friendship is the best foundation for lasting love. You enter 2026 surrounded by loyal companions who celebrate your individuality, not demand that you conform to their expectations!
