Venus in Capricorn: Working for Love

The business of love in coming weeks

by Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, venus, capricorn, blogs, astrology

Expect a fresh look at relationships and self-worth issues during the next couple of weeks. The action starts on Tuesday, January 8, when alluring Venus enters hardworking Capricorn and romance becomes bound by rules.

This is an intentional process rather than just falling in love. It’s as if this is an involuntary process over which we have no control. The idea of being so attracted to someone that emotion takes over and all we have to do is follow its lead to eternal bliss is understandably appealing. It eliminates the work of thinking, planning and building a relationship over time, and it makes us feel like winners in the lottery of love. At least that’s what Hollywood taught us.

Venus in Capricorn sextile Neptune

Venus in Capricorn is another story, though. It’s about earning trust, which requires time and effort. The first part, however, is not about impressing anyone else; it’s about respecting and trusting ourselves. The love planet’s presence in this responsible Earth sign makes discipline, commitment and patience sexy and appealing. Recognizing your own worth based on the progress you’ve made and the lessons that you’ve learned is the foundation for successful relationships with Venus in Capricorn. The road to love, pleasure and approval, though, turns bumpy from January 12-17.

Oh, the journey starts off sweetly enough with Venus’ supportive sextile to tender and imaginative Neptune on January 9. This is a lovely alignment of intention and self-control (Venus in Capricorn) with the sweet surrender of Neptune in Pisces. Sounds like the best of both worlds and an ideal environment for establishing a romantic mood. But the dreamy and forgiving feel of this aspect quickly gives way to more complex social patterns.

Uranus square Pluto

Darling Venus, all grown up in responsible Capricorn, runs into the cosmic storm of the ongoing Uranus-Pluto square, the transformational aspect that lasts from 2012 until 2015. Venus forms an edgy square with volatile Uranus on January 12 and joins pressure-packed Pluto on January 16. These are aspects that can provoke strange attractions and sudden shifts of mood, as well as intense desires and profound mistrust. On the plus side, unspoken issues can rise to the surface to be addressed openly, which helps to break relationship habits, adding new interest to an ongoing alliance or opening the way to a new one.

The control we seek with Venus in Capricorn is disturbed by these transits because they are meant to teach us to appreciate change. Shifts of values and tastes are gateways to greater tolerance, and they help us discover personal and professional opportunities in these transitional times.

Some people may feel as if they’re going over the edge, but a safety net opens on January 17 when Venus sextiles security-conscious Saturn. This positive aspect connects attraction and order in a well-balanced way, enabling us to regain emotional equilibrium if we’ve lost it and to manage radical change if it’s desirable.

Either way, being responsible without becoming rigid produces a fertile field in which love can grow.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, January 9th

Common sense wins out over unrealistic ideas no matter how optimistic we feel today. Although the visionary Sagittarius Moon inflates our expectations and increases our confidence, her stressful connections with courageous Mars and cautious Saturn send us mixed cosmic messages now. However, magnetic Venus is now in practical Capricorn, prompting us to ultimately pay more attention to stabilizing relationships than initiating new ones.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Someone at work might ask for your help today, but there could be more trouble here than meets the eye. Be careful about what you do, for your behavior may create big expectations that you cannot fulfill. Don’t respond to the situation with clever rationalizations or outrageous ideas. Instead, do whatever needs to be done, but not more. There are times when limited actions can accomplish the most.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

It may be easier to make plans now than to actually execute them. Your key planet Venus lures you to envision the future as she joins three other planets in your 9th House of Big Ideas. Although thoughts come quickly to you today, your progress is impeded by circumstances beyond your control. Don’t waste time worrying about something that goes awry; just reconsider your options and try again when the timing is right.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be inclined to set aside your responsibilities today and do things that bring you momentary pleasure. Unfortunately, it might not be that simple to find people to join your party because others may be more serious than you now. Don’t complain about your social situation; if necessary, you can still have a delightful time all by yourself.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotional sensitivity means that you don’t miss much, so it’s challenging for someone with mixed motives to get past your radar. However, your acute awareness can also make life more complicated as you analyze your feelings. Your early warning system may not detect the simple twists of fate that the universe now has in store for you. Don’t try too hard to figure it all out in advance; simply let go and enjoy the ride.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Just when you thought you were done processing all the emotions that were lurking in your subconscious, you realize that there are more hidden feelings buried out of sight. Although these pockets of intensity start to bubble to the surface today, they are not dangerous. In fact, delving into the depths of your heart will uncover rich treasure if you are brave enough to take the dive.

Virgo Horoscopes

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might feel as if time is running out, but the faster you attempt to complete what’s on your plate, the slower everything appears to move now. If you panic, time may even seem to stop for a while. This current lack of productivity places you in a difficult position because you can become very self-critical when you’re not being efficient. Cut yourself some slack and just finish your work with as little drama as possible.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your life is at a critical junction now that new information is being thrown your way, bringing complex issues out into the open. Thankfully, your growing knowledge base enables you to make better decisions. In the meantime, integrate the events of the past couple of days, even if you don’t have the full picture yet. Accept circumstances that you cannot change while working toward improving everything else. Redefining your ambitions can send you off in an entirely new direction.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You transform into a private investigator today when unexpected things happen for no apparent reason. However, your current dilemma might even stump Sherlock Holmes, himself. Relax; there are some mysteries in the universe that must remain outside your logical analysis. It’s time to smile in grateful acknowledgment and accept reality’s gift with grace and without question.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You feel as if you’re completely in charge today, but this sense of authority is probably more illusion than truth. It’s not that your life is running amok; it’s just that circumstances can unfold without your expressed permission. Unfortunately, you don’t get to approve everything before it happens. Differentiating between what you can and cannot change allows you to focus your efforts where they have the greatest positive impact.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re not happy that your to-do list seems longer than ever now. Perhaps you need to rethink your workload and consider why you try to do so much. Are your goals in sync with your passions, or is it the recognition and rewards that you seek? Don’t try to avoid your responsibilities; however postponing a few tasks could give you time to reconsider all your options.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be acting as if life is fine today, but you’re probably worried that something isn’t going your way. Although feisty Mars occupies your 1st House of Personality, others can see your concerns lurking just behind your enthusiasm. Instead of denying that you want more stability in your life, acknowledge that your desire for security is as important as your need for freedom. You might not be able to resolve these opposite forces now, but talking about them reduces your stress.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

As if your relationships with friends and associates haven’t been complicated enough, a whole new dimension of depth and intrigue can emerge now. You are less apt to go off to have a good time today if it means letting your responsibilities suffer. Although others might think you’re taking your work too seriously, you are quite clear about your current ambitions and the results you seek. Cutting back on your social activities helps you deliver on your professional promises.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 9th

After three fairly intense days of numerous sky patterns putting their collective stamp on humanity, the universe enters a more quiescent state of affairs. As mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry, the Moon in Sagittarius — while providing an ebullient emotional backdrop for your typical social activities — is in void mode until 12:55AM PST tomorrow. You can still be productive in your favorite hobbies as the Moon makes a polarity to Ceres (12:07PM PST). There may be a tendency to overdo a good thing as the Moon forms a contra-parallel with Jupiter (2:06PM PST). Today’s main event is a supportive, 60-degree rapport between Venus in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces (9:46PM PST). Even though the Moon is void, any favorable Venus-Neptune association like this can be a boost for creative expression in the fine or graphic arts. Plus, Neptune is often considered the higher-octave guardian planet to Venus — enhancing their positive linkage. Be prepared to be super-active tomorrow as the void lunar cycle final ends and the Moon puts on a show by uniting with Venus, Juno and Pluto.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of January 7th

Love takes on a somber tone as we’re challenged to grow up and face reality in relationships this week. Amorous Venus’ entry into ambitious Capricorn on Tuesday night rewards people who are committed to learning from the past and intent on setting clear goals for the future. Earning loyalty and respect will be the result of honesty and hard work.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Don’t let frustration get in the way of love this week. You may run into walls but they are just signals to slow down and be more controlled and committed in your actions. Pleasure can come in surprising forms when you find the patience to take a second look at your motives and your judgment of others. Trusting yourself is a key that opens the door to your heart and gives you the courage to handle whatever comes in.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can be tough and tender in your approach to relationships this week, which is a very compelling combination. Your alluring ruling planet Venus enters authoritative Capricorn on Tuesday night and quickly slides into a sweet sextile with imaginative Neptune. Addressing practical matters with compassion and creativity weaves a web of intimacy. This magical aspect might also inspire romantic dreams of travel or spark an attraction to someone from a faraway land.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

This looks like a week of serious decisions in relationships. If you have a compatible connection with your current partner, it’s time to deepen your commitment and put in more effort to make it work. If you’re single, knowing what you want and persistently pursuing it shows off the ambitious side of your personality. This direct approach could be what it takes to make magic happen. Being choosey may seem to limit your options at first, but you have to be selective to find the right person.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You can make major steps toward relationship fulfillment this week. Friday’s calculating Capricorn New Moon lands in your 7th House of Partners to pump you up with clarity and confidence. If you encounter a bully, don’t roll over and give in. This is your time to take the lead in romantic matters and it takes a secure person to follow. Fortunately, you’re an expert at making others feel safe, which is why you have so much to offer now.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Taking care of business should be a pleasure later this week with the industrious Capricorn New Moon occupying your 6th House of Work on Friday. An on-the-job romance or a spark that ignites when you help someone is a great way to begin a relationship. If you already have a partner, finding new ways to assist him or her will be a surprising source of satisfaction. You may be playing a supporting role but it can make you feel like a star in your heart.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are so ready for a fresh dose of fun with Friday’s earthy Capricorn New Moon occurring in your 5th House of Romance. Planning a party or an elaborate outing is a good way for you to run the show. But leave some room for surprises because pleasure could come from an unexpected source. Your ability to relax and adapt to changes will make the difference between a joyous feeling of freedom and frustration due to a lack of control.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your tendency to put others first is one of your most attractive traits, yet letting someone else lead your social parade is probably not the best way to go this week. Take a chance by coming on strong now that your ruling planet Venus is in bossy Capricorn. However, this is not a cosmic invitation to be a bully or to run roughshod over anyone’s feelings. But knowing what you want and being willing to climb over obstacles to get it is very likely to make you even more desirable now.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A mature conversation can lead to a relationship breakthrough this weekend. Friday’s Capricorn New Moon in your 3rd House of Communication is a constructive time for clearing the air with someone you care about. This planetary event also makes your serious side sexy since speaking with clarity and authority can be a turn on to your admirers. Do not hesitate to speak your truth now, as long as you’re kind to others and genuinely understand the subject you’re talking about.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Self-restraint is not your usual style because going all out in everything you do makes you feel so vibrantly alive. But holding back a little now could be the key to heating up your current relationship or making you more captivating to someone new. Planets are pulsing through pragmatic Capricorn and your 2nd House of Self-Worth these days, which produces pleasure and approval when you take your emotions and play the game of love more cautiously.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

This is your week for a makeover, either of attitude or appearance, with Friday’s initiating New Moon in your sign. You’re ready for a fresh start that begins with taking care of yourself. This isn’t about being selfish because healthy habits for your body and in your relationships will ultimately make you a stronger and more generous partner. Focus on what you need to do to empower yourself and the love you share with another will then flow more freely.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Taking time to look back this week will help you to untangle some relationship knots, freeing you up for the future. Friday’s sobering Capricorn New Moon lands in your 12th House of Unfinished Business, which can bring up unpleasant memories from the past. These are not temporary distractions to be ignored, but signals of the lessons you need to learn. Doubling back emotionally can actually be the fastest way to get ahead in your desire for love and intimacy.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It is possible to discover romance and friendship in one relationship this week. The key to making this happen is to share common interests. When you work toward the same goals with someone you love it’s easy to feel supported and to help them without sacrificing yourself. Friday’s Capricorn New Moon occurs in your friendly and idealistic 11th House of Goals, where teamwork deepens a current connection or helps you strike up a new one.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, January 4th

We must navigate tricky territory when the planets encourage us early in the day and then discourage us later on. An enthusiastic Mars-Jupiter trine inspires confidence; we feel like we can do anything. But self-doubt enters the picture as sweet Venus rubs strict Saturn the wrong way. Thankfully, the dualistic Libra Moon enables us to experience both positive and negative feelings while following a path that is based upon moderating the extremes.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your ruling planet Mars is supported by buoyant Jupiter today, motivating you to act on your feelings. You feel secure enough to express emotions that would normally make you feel uncomfortably vulnerable. Although your current zest for life may be contagious, you might grow more circumspect toward the evening. Respecting established boundaries now prevents you from having to reconsider your radical approach later on.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your key planet Venus forms a stressful aspect to somber Saturn tonight, reminding you that common sense will ultimately overcome your enthusiasm. However, don’t let your self-restraint kick into action too early in the day or you may miss the other planetary excitement bubbling around you. Starting a new project is a good idea as long as you’re willing to follow through with sincere effort after the initial buzz wears off.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

At first everyone seems to be having a fine time, but you can see beneath the surface and the atmosphere isn’t as copacetic as it appears. It isn’t your style to rain on someone else’s parade, yet the responsibility may fall on you to be the one to issue a reality check. Nevertheless, there’s no reason to approach the situation with negativity. Express your thoughts as kindly as possible and then let go of your attachment to what happens next.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You feel the power of love today but you may not reveal your true passion, especially if the thought of expressing your desires makes you uncomfortable. Although you don’t like being emotionally vulnerable on a regular basis, there’s no need to let your irrational fears stand in the way of a potentially lovely experience. Instead of trying to control the process, just share what’s in your heart without expecting anything in return.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although there are many excellent reasons to work in partnership now, be certain you have all the facts at your disposal before you make faulty assumptions. It’s tempting to overlook something you don’t want to know, but it’s better to be rational and have a solid handle on reality today. Ironically, acknowledging the weight of responsibility opens the doors for more pleasurable times. Do the right thing when it comes to matters of the heart and the rewards will follow.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You feel like you have an inexhaustible supply of energy today, prompting you to reach for the stars. Fortunately, harmonious trines to auspicious Jupiter in your 10th House of Status suggest that you could make a lot of progress toward your career objectives now. There’s nothing wrong with setting ambitious goals as long as you’re willing to earn your success gradually by working harder than everyone else.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sink into your own feelings today as energetic Mars activates your 4th House of Emotional Security. Your current optimism might inspire others; however a slight case of self-doubt could gnaw away at your confidence. This negativity may just be a passing thought if you are flexible in your thinking. Once you realize the source of your anxiety, you can easily move past it and refocus on the opportunities at hand

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your ruling planet Jupiter is a key player in today’s expressive cosmic configuration, pulling you head-first into the realm of relationships. Be careful about going overboard with your enthusiasm, especially if you are using it to cover a deeper concern. Finding a healthy balance between the adrenaline rush of reckless abandon and the dutiful routine of emotional responsibility isn’t easy, but well worth the trouble.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Demonstrating your competence at work is effortless today because everything seems to be going your way. Unfortunately, you may be so sure of yourself now that you take the path of least resistance rather than doing a job in your typically thorough manner. However, you could find yourself in trouble quickly unless you pay attention to all the little details. You can let your hair down and relax once you’ve fulfilled your current obligations, but not a moment sooner.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Jovial Jupiter is harmonizing with irrepressible Mars in your 1st House of Personality today, pushing your exuberance to the surface. Everyone can see that you’re putting your best foot forward, but you may not feel quite as optimistic as you appear. You have legitimate concerns about the actions of others; but instead of wasting your energy making judgments about someone else, change your own thinking. No one else’s behavior needs to negatively impact your day, unless you let it.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your imagination is often a path for escape, yet today you can dream your way to success as long as you’re willing to cooperate with others on the job. Even if you’re tempted to withdraw from social interaction, push past your resistance and reach out to your co-workers now. Instead of worrying about what anyone else thinks about your contribution, just show up and be yourself. You may be happily surprised with the positive reinforcement you receive in return.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 4th

Every so often, the universe tries to throw the kitchen sink in your direction by filling up the 24 hours of time with a wide variety of solar, lunar and planetary aspects. When so many sky patterns are vying for attention and supremacy, expect to go through several mood shifts and mental ups and downs. In the early going, focus your attention on a loved one’s needs as Mercury unites with Juno in Capricorn (2:09AM PST). A tremendous wave of creativity and enthusiasm arrives a couple of hours later as Mars trines Jupiter in air signs (4:47AM PST), Venus makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with wounded-healer Chiron (5:00AM PST), and Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree tie with Chiron (5:55AM PST). Not to be outdone, the Moon in Libra puts together a Grand Triangle in air signs by forming trines to Jupiter in Gemini (6:36AM PST) as well as Mars in Aquarius (6:44AM PST). Literary, educational and athletic pursuits look promising. However, pressing your luck later on may not be a good idea since Venus makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Saturn (5:30PM PST), Mars makes an abrasive, 135-degree contact with Ceres (5:45PM PST) and the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 15 degrees of Capricorn and Libra at 7:59PM PST) arrives with another dose of frustration or rising discord. A good-luck charm can come in the form of a supportive, 60-degree rapport from Juno in Capricorn to Chiron in Pisces (7:48PM PST). This uplifting aspect helps to neutralize some of the tensions affecting key relationships this evening.

Friday belongs to Venus, and its energies are warm, sensuous, and fulfilling. Efforts that involve any type of pleasure, comfort, and luxury, as well as the arts, music, or aroma (incense and perfume) works well on this day. As Venus lends its sensuous influences to the energies of this day, use it for any magical work that deals with matters of the heart.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 3rd

How you deal with delays and frustrations can test your character. This theme may be prevalent today as a void lunar uncertainty zone begins at 4:16AM PST during a Moon-Venus square of 90-degrees. From 4:16AM PST to 5:12PM PST, it is best to go with the flow, complete old business on a high note, and put new, bold enterprises on hold while the void-of-course Moon in Virgo is in charge. During the unsettled nature of today’s lunar predicament, Mercury squares Uranus (8:31AM PST) while Venus opposes Ceres (9:01AM PST). Major aspects that occur during a void time-span are usually watered-down or made less influential. Therefore, the Mercury-Uranus square from Capricorn to Aries is a challenge on the communication, literary and educational fronts, but the aspect may lose some of its volatility and anxiety. The Venus-Ceres polarity is a reminder to stay as productive as possible in crafts and hobbies, but don’t go overboard on complex projects difficult to manage effectively. Once the Moon enters Libran territory (5:12PM PST), the cosmos is directing you to improve the quality of your primary partnerships and plunge into a favorite fine or graphic art project. Love vibrations increase in frequency — courtesy of a Sun-Venus parallel (6:05PM PST). Let the good times roll at an impromptu party tonight.

December 21 – 23: Hunger Games

Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

Friday is frisky with the Moon in independent and impatient Aries as the Sun enters dominating and direct Capricorn. Playing hard can be expected, but fortunately there’s a tender touch coming at night to smooth out rough edges and make peace if the social games get too rough.

The romantic atmosphere should be much sweeter on Saturday with the Moon’s late morning entry into docile and sensual Taurus. In fact, this is quite a day of indulgence, with almost no limit to our appetites for love, food, touch and pleasure in all its delicious forms. Venus, Taurus’ yummy ruling planet, opposes expansive Jupiter, increasing hunger for affection and approval. There is, however, a risk of going too far by over-estimating the value of a person, object or activity. Physical or emotional indigestion will follow if we bite off more than we can chew.

Still, this is really a call to celebrate life without worrying about every little detail. Sometimes going too far is the only way to discover another level of happiness. The Moon is also in tactile Taurus on Sunday, but it’s wiser to make this a day of rest than one of excess. Slowing down to measure whether the people and pleasures you’ve discovered feel healthy is a wise way to spend at least part of the day.

Lovers generate heat as we move from 2012 into 2013

Maria DeSimone on the topics of winter, love, horoscopes, astrology

Baby, it’s cold outside! This winter however, you can anticipate plenty of body heat between you and someone special.

A rare, sizzling mutual reception between Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Aries will boost your sex life between December 27 and February 2. If you’re typically shy in the bedroom, don’t be shocked if you’re suddenly in the mood to spice things up!

Winter receives an indulgent, romantic welcome on December 21, as Venus and Jupiter oppose one another. These two planets make love sweeter — even if they go overboard as they prompt you to express affection.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Love is an adventure! You’re likely to feel as if your potential for romantic fulfillment is one giant open road as winter begins. If you’re single, a sudden encounter with a friend or someone introduced to you through a friend may leave you breathless between December 27 and February 2. What starts out as a fun, “no strings attached” winter romance may turn into something more after a heartfelt conversation with your lover on February 6. Attached Aries, you’ll find it easier than usual to bare your soul to your partner. You’ll feel especially well connected with your mate on January 16 and 17.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You may begin the season with a restrained attitude about love, but don’t let this bring you down. You’re in the process of defining what you truly want in a committed partnership. What are you willing to compromise in order to enjoy a stable relationship? Where will you never settle — even if it means going it alone for a while? Fortunately, Saturn’s presence in your partnership sector these days is well supported, and the potential for you to find that everlasting love has never looked brighter. On January 16-17 you’ll feel as if you and a current mate are on solid ground, and by March 7 you’ll be willing to expand your horizons on relationship enough to see the big picture.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Once Jupiter turns direct in your sign on January 30 your optimism about personal and romantic endeavors will be in full swing. A committed relationship will enjoy special harmony until January 9, thanks to Venus’ tour in your partnership sector. Then, from January 10 through February 2 you’ll enjoy a boost in intimacy. Love may border on obsession near January 16, however, due to an intense link between Venus and Pluto in your 8th House of Depth. Remember that love is not about control; it’s about relating to and honoring your mate for who he or she already is. If you try to force your partner to conform to your expectations, a battle of the wills may erupt. Fortunately, it will smooth over quickly. Single Gemini, you may begin a new romance with someone who has a background quite different from yours near February 6. Ooh la la!

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

With Saturn touring your 5th House of True Love, you might worry that you’ll be stuck feeding off stale crumbs this winter when it comes to love. Don’t despair! In fact, Saturn may help you find your one true love now. Saturn will receive incredible support from love planet Venus on January 17. Because Venus will be in your partnership sector from January 10 until February 2, an existing partnership will become more harmonious and durable. If single, a new romantic prospect will ripen during this time and may become serious faster than you expect. Go with it. This winter you’re not playing games when it comes to love. You’re playing for keeps.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Leo, you’ll begin the season with incredible powers of attraction thanks to Venus touring your true love sector until January 9. You might receive even more attention from potential suitors than usual, and of course you’ll cherish every drop! One lucky person, however, is likely to stand out from the crowd and you’ll want to give this special someone your full consideration. Attached? Expect sparks between you and your mate from December 27 through February 2, as Mars tours your relationship sector. While it’s true that you might pick a few more fights than usual, it’ll all be in good fun. You might even do it for the pure pleasure of making up in the bedroom afterward! Venus in your relationship sector from February 3 through February 26 will help smooth out any wrinkles in your love life. By the New Moon on February 10 you’ll have a fresh start in partnership.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

A series of errors in how you communicate with your partner might frustrate you both during Mercury Retrograde from February 23 through March 17. Fortunately, Venus and Neptune will embrace in your relationship sector on February 28, adding potential for the best possible outcome. Still, if your mate is behaving in a way that appears too good to be true around this time, it’s conceivable that you’re not seeing the full picture. Thankfully, you’ll have the cosmic lovers — Mars and Venus — both in your relationship sector between February 27 and March 13, motivating you to swim past murky waters. In fact, March 6 might be a day of incredible harmony. You’ll have enough perspective about your love for each other to turn the page in a happier direction.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Expect romance to sizzle this winter! Cosmic lovers Mars and Venus will each take a turn touring your true love sector, assuring that your libido will get a wakeup call. From December 27 through February 2 you’ll have Mars, the planet of passion, helping you have more fun in bed. A sexual adventure with a friend is possible. Alternatively, you might enjoy a casual sexual encounter with someone you don’t intend to have a relationship with. Love will eventually catch up to you, however, because from February 3-26 you’ll have Venus in this area of your chart. You may develop feelings for that one night stand after all! You may also find that more than one person is after you, and if so you’ll have a difficult time choosing who to give your full attention to. In the end, the one who will win your heart will be original in his or her pursuit and will remember to give you plenty of breathing room.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Is love real or is it only an illusion? You’ll find out this winter, as several key planets will tour your romance sector starting on February 1. Because they are all in idealistic Pisces, you might discover that instead of a prince or princess you’ve been kissing a frog. Of course, you may also realize that this love is the most inspirational and enchanting experience of your life. You may, indeed, feel convinced that you’ve found the ultimate soul mate. During Mercury Retrograde in your 5th House of True Love from February 23 through March 17, you’ll have an opportunity to sort this out in your mind. By winter’s end, one way or another, you will know if it’s love or if you’ve only been dreaming.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

A close relationship that’s going well is about to get even better this winter. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, will turn direct on January 30. Because Jupiter is in your partnership sector, you’ll notice an instant difference in the yumminess factor between you and your mate. You might even decide to make a commitment to someone special and move in together, become engaged or even marry! If you’re single, expect sparks to fly between December 27 and February 2, when Mars and Uranus engage in a rare mutual reception. Because Uranus is in your 5th House of True Love and Mars will be in your 3rd House of Community, a sizzling romance might develop between you and a neighbor!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

You might think it’ll be a long, cold and lonely winter. Well, you’re wrong. From January 10 until February 2, you’ll be the most alluring sign in the zodiac thanks to Venus moving through Capricorn. During this time you’ll have a special way of attracting attention to others and your confidence will enjoy a much needed boost. This special vibe of inner and outer beauty that you’ll emanate will certainly help you attract romance, so be sure to socialize as much as possible during these weeks. In fact, on January 16 you’re likely to experience a fated romantic encounter with someone who will leave you breathless. Expect to feel devoured by love.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Seriously, Aquarius, this winter you have won the jackpot of love! On January 30, Jupiter, the planet of “all good things” will turn direct in your 5th House of Love and Pleasure. Jupiter only tours this part of your chart once every 12 years and it’s one of the most opportune times to find true love. Now that Jupiter will be strong and direct this winter, there is nothing to stop you from melting the heart of someone special. In fact, Venus will be in your sign from February 3-26, making you completely irresistible! A perfect link between Venus and Jupiter on February 7 promises romance with all the trimmings, and you may want to celebrate Valentine’s Day early. This winter it might be cold outside, but it doesn’t matter. Your heart will be on fire.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Sex appeal will be your middle name this winter! The cosmic lovers — Mars and Venus — will both tour your sign. Mars will give you plenty of stamina and enhance your sex drive from February 3 through March 12, while Venus will offer you a dose of beauty and charm from February 27 through March 22. During the early part of March, when both planets are in your sign, there will be no stopping you from getting whatever your heart desires. Adding to the mix, on March 1 Venus will embrace Neptune, offering four-star potential for an enchanting romance to bloom. You’ll exude sensitivity and warmth to others, and by March 7, when Venus, Saturn and Pluto connect, you might have found the love of a lifetime.

We grow uneasy today as we yearn to be part of something greater than ourselves. Our thinking shifts from individual needs toward community issues, and even humanity as a whole, when the Moon visits socially conscious Aquarius. There is dynamic tension between the personal feelings of the Moon and the intellectual detachment of Aquarius. But a square between sensual Venus and dreamy Neptune reminds us that our desires might be built on fantasy.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You want to know about everything that’s happening now, yet there’s more occurring than meets the eye. Trouble may be brewing and your role in the situation isn’t clear because your imagination is overtaking reality. You could be restless, even rebellious. Life is playing games with you today, but you might miss the action if your concentration lapses. Paying close attention to what is real is the most important thing you can do.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you might not be clear about your place in the outer world now, you’re pretty sure that something feels good — and that’s enough for you to pursue it. However, your senses and your imagination are being overstimulated today, challenging you to maintain good judgment. If something disappoints you, this is reality’s way of telling you what you need to know. Don’t hold on to an illusion; uncovering the truth can feel surprisingly liberating in the end.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s difficult to know who your allies are now because the signals are rather confusing. Someone close to you may be difficult to read today, making it tricky navigating your course through the weird circumstances that are playing out in your life. You could get so worked up that it’s hard to find your way back to mental clarity. But instead of panicking and seeking an immediate answer, let the circumstances develop for a day or two until you have a healthier perspective.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Even if someone thinks you are acting a bit strange today, you still could be truly inspired. Your senses are so finely tuned now that you might be able to hear mermaids singing sea chants in an unintelligible forgotten language. Oddly, these strange sounds make perfect sense and you intuitively know exactly what they mean. The waters of your subconscious are rising but there’s no threat of danger, so don’t bother trying to hold back the flood.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A close friend or lover may throw you a curve ball today and you might not see it coming. Thankfully, it doesn’t feel all that unpleasant even if you do get broadsided by a surprising situation, especially if you’re able to let go of your previous expectations. Instead of trying to regain control of your day, relax and see where the new path leads. A little uncertainty can inspire you to express yourself in a highly creative manner.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re being drawn out beyond the comfort of your analytical mind today. The logical answers that you like to have at your fingertips are just beyond your reach now, prompting you to lose your rhythm as you go about your day. However, this intellectual fuzziness has a purpose; forget about the details and let your intuition be your guide.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your common sense may be temporarily unavailable, leaving you to feel as if you’re on your own without any guidance. In this moment all you have is your next whim, so don’t try to suppress these powerful products of your imagination. Nevertheless, acting as if every fantasy is real will only complicate your life. Enjoy your daydreams, but keep the facts separate from your creative fiction.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You can delve into the depths of your own inner world today or become fascinated with someone else’s. Either way, be prepared to go on a magical yet bewildering ride, since it may be impossible to know what is real as you are experiencing it. You might actually slip into a parallel universe for a while as you are entranced by a fantasy. If you have the courage to go on this imaginative journey, you’ll return soon enough with a treasure from the distant reaches of your own subconscious mind.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are often quite certain about your personal tastes, but can talk yourself into liking almost anything now. You are being pulled into a beautiful dream by an emotional craving that is stronger than your normal desires. You may gravitate toward someone or something, only to realize in a few days’ time that your perceptions weren’t real — except within your own imagination. Exercising good judgment today prevents an unnecessary letdown just around the corner.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might be surprised at the power of your inner voice if you rely on your own experiences today. You believe that you’re speaking with clarity of vision and strength of purpose. But even if others think that you are a force to be reckoned with now, you still should be careful with how you pursue your ambitions. Avoid taking any shortcuts or trying to mislead anyone. You will have the allies you need if your friends and family respect your integrity and your work.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your emotions may be bent out of shape today and it’s difficult to know what to do about it. Whatever corrective action you choose, don’t hold your uncertainty inside or you could explode like a volcano releasing steam. But even if you are confused about what you want, a dose of old-fashioned charm can soften the hearts of those around you, allowing you to make it through the day without incident.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Expressing your hopes about the future may be difficult today, prompting you to feel detached from your inner self. Do something eccentric or unusual to reconnect with your dreams or you might have to look for an escape hatch with more serious consequences. A mini-vacation or spiritual retreat could be just what the doctor ordered at this time. However, if you can’t get away now, enjoy planning something special for the near future.
