What to expect from your love life this January, according to your zodiac sign
A professional astrologer breaks down what every zodiac sign can expect.
If your love life felt a bit dry in 2023, you can expect the new year to spice things TF up. So grab your best lingerie, conjure up some sexy fantasies, and prepare for a fun, sexy start to 2024.
Venus, the planet of love, spends most of January in fun-loving, spicy Sagittarius but moves into introspective Capricorn on the 23rd, prompting the zodiac to turn inward, says Donna Page, an Atlanta-based astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology.
'We start the month with very "make me happy" and "let’s find my love" Venus energy, and then on the 23rd, it shifts into practical Capricorn,' says Page. The fun and flirty vibes will turn more serious and analytical—which could, yes, lead to long-lasting romance.
As always, there are a few key dates to note. On January 1, Mercury (the planet of communication, which has been retrograde for the last month), will go direct, allowing the collective to dream big and create the perfect vision for their future. Mars, the planet of action, enters driven Capricorn on the 4th, adding even more to the go-get-’em vibes this month. The new moon in Capricorn is on the 11th; and then, on the 20th, the sun and Pluto, a planet of transformation, enter Aquarius, the wild card of the zodiac. Finally, the month ends on a high note with the full moon in Leo, a fire sign known for its love of life and heart-driven nature.
But what does all of this mean for you, specifically? Here's what each sign can expect from their love and sex life this month, according to Page:
