Aries: Venus in your ninth house begins an adventurous period in your love life. If you are single, you may find yourself connecting with someone who is not usually your type. If you are in a relationship, you might be taking things to a higher level and deepening your spiritual connection.

Taurus: Your ruling planet moves into Sagittarius this week where it highlights your eighth house of transformation. Power dynamics are shifting in relationships and you might be trying out different roles to play in love rather than your usual character. Romance can be intensified, with new feelings, deepening feelings or break-ups. 

Gemini: Venus moves into your sister sign of Sagittarius this week, where it highlights your partnerships and relationships. It’s a season of cooperation, collaboration and occasional compromises. Relationships and commitments are the catalysts of your story as we move into the new year. Romance can be quite intense in the coming weeks.

Cancer: You value relationships that “work” as Venus moves into Sagittarius, where it highlights your goal-oriented sixth house. During this time, you enjoy collaborating with friends and romantic partners to achieve practical goals. Over the next four weeks, you enjoy good motivation and collaboration skills.

Leo: Venus in fellow fire sign Sagittarius highlights your ruling fifth house of creativity, enjoyment and self expression. This is a bountiful period of inspiration and optimism. In relationships, you realize that being your true self brings you closer to the ones you love. New ideas can shift your trajectory. A good sense of humor can take you to the stars.

Virgo: Familiar faces, old friends and established lovers are your bread and butter this week as Venus moves into your fourth house of home and family. You value consistency, loyalty and authenticity more than anything else during this cycle. Shared memories of the past bring interesting insight.

Libra: Your ruling planet Venus moves into your social and communication sector this week and for the next three weeks. During this period, you feel outgoing and curious about the minds of others. You require greater intellectual stimulation so you are more likely to engage with people, get into a good book, or take a short trip. Romance is deepened by good conversations and shared interests explored together.

Scorpio: You have a clear vision of what you want as Venus feels at home in your second house of material comforts, personal belongings and finances. You have an eye for quality and are creating goals for yourself to improve your life and relationships. There is a sense of stability in your love life as things become more predictable (in a good way).

Sagittarius: Venus, the love planet, moves into your first house where it highlights self esteem, self awareness and self love. You may realize you have been lacking in positive self reflection and now is a good time to heal your relationship with yourself. You exude natural charm and the next four-week cycle is a good period to promote work, perform or be creative. 

Capricorn: Venus in Sagittarius highlights your 12th house of spirituality and the subconscious. As we move into the new year, you are feeling focused on your inner life and your spiritual development. You realize that the soul requires tending to — as well as the mind and body — if you wish to create a sense of well-being. You find joy and replenishment from acting on your values and from living in service to those in need.

Aquarius: Venus in your networking department means that it’s all about who you know for the next four weeks. You have been pretty independent lately but now is a good time to consider collaborating with others. It can also be a good time to put your energy into the community and to find ways to give back. 

Pisces: Venus in Sagittarius highlights your 10th house of reputation and legacy. You seek to establish yourself in some way and to leave a lasting impression on people and places. You might find that love, kindness and generosity have the largest and longest-lasting ripple effect even if that is not immediately apparent.
