Love Horoscope for January 2026

For the first 17 days of January Venus will be in Capricorn until the 17th when Venus enters Aquarius. When Venus is in Capricorn love is all about long term potential, caution, boundaries, practicality, reputation and integrity. This energy can also manifest as using people, loneliness through lack of emotional expression and being judgmental on its shadow side.

When Venus enters Aquarius on the 17th love becomes more free and open. We can be more drawn to the unconventional, a love of humanity can ensure. We can be more detached and eccentric than usual in our connections with others.

Great time to align with groups that share similar interests and goals.
