Your year in love starts off strong as Venus enters Pisces and your partnership zone on January 2! Yet, while a romantic relationship may solidify at this time, Venus’ retrograde looms on the horizon. In preparation, pay special attention to how you’re compromising. There’s a big difference between affirming another’s needs and absolving yourself from the negotiation process. On January 11, the lunar North Node enters Pisces for the next eighteen months, inspiring you to evolve your partnership standards. Remember that your individuality is the best asset you can bring to a union. It’s possible to join forces without forgoing your independence. Under the February 27 Pisces new moon, be mindful not to make promises you can’t keep. You have faith in a relationship’s potential, but enthusiasm isn’t an indicator of longevity. Besides, you’re giving your all. How much is your partner giving? On March 1, Venus, which has moved into Aries, begins its backward slide. Questions of trust and intimacy arise in a union. Secrets are exposed. When retrograding Venus re-enters Pisces on March 27, strive to see a romantic situation for what it is. Avoid trading away your peace for empty promises.
Venus finally goes direct on April 12, allowing you to integrate love lessons learned in the past month and a half. As it resumes its trek through the zodiac, Venus links up with Neptune on May 2—their first alignment in the sign of Aries in one hundred and fifty-one years! This combo guides you to demonstrate compassion without sacrificing your own desires. It’s the dawning of a new romantic day for you! After Mars enters Virgo on June 17, you call the shots in matters of the heart. Over the next seven weeks, assertiveness draws in new admirers and repels those who can’t handle your honesty. Don’t settle! Does someone appear to tick all your boxes? Let them prove that they’re not all talk and no action.
Romance blossoms under the July 10 Capricorn full moon, but can you commit to the experience? You’re hesitant to reveal how much you care, but spoiler alert: your crush already knows! Someone in your social circle makes a big impression when Venus and Jupiter auspiciously align on August 12. However, all bets are off come the September 7 Pisces lunar eclipse! A sudden epiphany around partnership and desire throws you for a loop. Will you take a leap of faith in love? Old habits die hard, and you’re more apt to resist change. If so, the universe will do what it must to get you to see the light and abandon this war within yourself!
Venus opposes Saturn, the planet of limitation, on October 11, making it seem like love is out of reach. You have plenty of attention now, but superficial interest fails to flatter you. You’re at the point where you would like something more serious. Don’t despair! Despite the bummer cosmic weather, this date finally wakes you up to the fact that “just enough” is not enough. Luckily, on November 26, Venus locks into a soul-nourishing connection with Jupiter and Saturn, opening romantic doors! Honest communication features in relationships that begin under this influence. The prospect of intimacy is less scary when you feel safe to talk through the tough stuff. Finally, Mars enters Capricorn on December 15, followed by Venus on December 24, closing out the year on a passionate note. Through 2025, you’ve discovered that going with the flow serves you better than trying to plan for all eventualities. As you head into 2026, surrender delivers compatible connections.
