A new year is upon us, and a cosmic alignment of passion and curiosity will energize your love life. As you settle in for the holidays, look to the future; what commitments are you prepared to make, or ultimately let go of?
Overall, 2024 will bring major milestones and dramatic moments. Commitments are becoming more and more serious, and the profound healing brought by the Aries and Libra eclipses will inspire you to find long-term partnerships. Regardless of your relationship status, be clear about your standards and set firmer boundaries; this will help you feel more confident about yourself and everything you need to feel loved.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
In July, a relaxed romance is likely to catch your attention. However, if you don't plan on staying, don't let the passion overwhelm you. Have fun responsibly and avoid acting recklessly or you will be forced to face the consequences during Mars Retrograde on December 6.
If you already have a solid partnership, the pressure will be heightened this fall. You may feel like you're not seen by your significant other, or you may realize that you've lost your individuality. Don't push your partner away when expressing your feelings. Think about how to bring new life into your relationship and make room for more freedom.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Ditch your dating habits in 2023 and start the year fresh. Prioritize developing mental and emotional compatibility over finding someone with whom you can heal and repair. When Mercury and Venus join forces in discrete Virgo on August 5, enjoy getting to know someone rather than rushing to settle down until you're sure they meet all your requirements.
Venus transits seductive Scorpio from September 22 to October 17, providing a window of opportunity to deepen your closest relationships. Don’t be afraid of your growing desire to take your commitment to the next level. The more you allow yourself to be vulnerable, the closer you and your partner will become.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
An early breakup during the March-April lunar eclipse will leave you feeling more relieved than disappointed. You will easily attract new friends, especially with Venus and the Sun in your sign on June 4th.
The game-changing Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2 brings about a productive new beginning in your love life. Whether you're expressing the perfect date or proposing, know that luck is by your side as you move toward your dreams. If you're single later in the fall, don't be surprised if one of your friends becomes a lover when Venus joins exploratory Jupiter on November 3.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Be honest about how you feel before it gets hot and heavy. Associating with people who don't share your emotions will hurt you in the long run. Your passionate encounters will be short-lived, as the full moon in Scorpio on April 23 will dissolve any attachments you formed too quickly.
If your relationship survived the last Mercury retrograde in 2023 and you're heading into the new year with the love of your life, congratulations! Work with your partners toward greater vision and goals. Pay attention to your joint income and savings; money can be a source of contention during Pluto's unstable retrograde period, May 2 to October 11.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Commitment is your top priority in 2024, although you may regret letting the wrong people near you during Saturn's retrograde period from June 29 to November 15. Don't create emotional barriers. Setting firm boundaries gives you the opportunity to love while protecting your heart from those who don't want to settle.
If you have a date on Valentine's Day, the exciting conjunction of Venus, Mars and Pluto will fill you with lust and leave you craving for more. Love can drive you to act in dramatic, compulsive, or even possessive ways. While Mercury is retrograde from November 25 to December 15, you will need to reflect on those excessive feelings.
Virgo (August 23 to September 22)
After exploring your options and better understanding your needs, you're finally ready to receive the love you deserve in 2024. Pay attention to the people you meet on January 28th; the beautiful, spiritual connection between Venus and Jupiter may bring about magnetic opportunities to manifest your soul mate. While Mars is raging in Aries from April 30 to May 15, avoid rushing into a financial commitment with your partner, which may cause additional stress in your life.
If you want to strengthen your relationship, spend more time getting to know your partner through their family. However, be aware that developments in your career and intense attention from others may create potential issues like jealousy and boundaries in August and December.
Libra (September 23 to October 22)
Venus, Mars and Pluto align in Aquarius to energize your sex life in February. Be prepared to develop strong connections with people who know what to do. As your love becomes more passionate and extreme, be careful to avoid getting caught up in the intense swings of on-and-off flirting.
Putting yourself first will cause a huge energy shift in a relationship that you are solely responsible for. When you start to withdraw, notice how people behave. Have they stopped texting? Will they wait for you to plan your next date? Mercury and Pluto retrograde will push you to resolve imbalances in your relationships. Be confident in what you deserve.
Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)
On April 3, when Venus and Neptune join forces in Pisces, a sweet romance that seems too good to be true will blossom. Keep your instincts sharp and don't become paranoid by unfounded suspicions. You deserve to be showered with love. From May to September, changes in relationship dynamics will prompt you to reconsider whether you are ready to take things to the next level.
If you're in a relationship, look to your partner for comfort as turbulent Uranus tests the foundations of your love. This year may cause a wedge between you. If you're single, expect to feel unsure about your feelings. It's best not to let others get caught up in your confusion. Don't let your family and friends pressure you to reconcile.
Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)
Sagittarius, make it a priority to address the insecurities that create roadblocks in your dating life. Be kind to yourself as you cultivate self-love and reconnect with your body and desires. After the full moon in Aries on October 17, you will see the dramatic impact this will have on bringing more joy to love and sex.
As you rediscover yourself and enter a new phase, your relationships should evolve with it. The more trust you build with your partner through effective communication, the more magical your relationship will be by the end of the year. In November, Venus joins abundant Jupiter, energizing your relationships, and look forward to an unforgettable vacation that will bring you and your sweetheart closer together.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 19)
The most dramatic transformation in your love life will unfold in early spring, as Uranus triggers shocking positive changes. You might be surprised by who shows up and how new the date feels. Watch for romantic developments from May 18 to May 23. A small crush or fling may surprise you by developing into a deeper, longer-term connection.
Don’t let your fixed ideas limit your expectations for love and dating this summer. Let your partner enter your inner world and allow yourself to be sensitive and vulnerable. Stop trying to do it all on your own and let your partner cater to you.
Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)
Get ready to play. Jupiter has been roaming in chatty Gemini since May 25 and will stay here for the rest of the year, bringing curiosity, experimentation and a lot of laughter to your dating and sex life. Have fun meeting new people. Ask lots of questions and feel free to explore your romantic interests and sexual orientation.
If you are in a relationship in June, you may realize that you are not getting something that makes you feel deeply fulfilled. Be more intentional in expressing your feelings and needs, and be prepared for Mars to retrograde on December 6th. The humbling energy of this retrograde prompts you to consider whether your relationship has become a show.
Pisces (February 19 to March 20)
Romance won't be your main area of focus in 2024, but you'll learn not to let the lack of significant progress in your dating and sex life affect your self-esteem. June is the most promising month for dating. Plan a romantic dinner on June 17, but be careful about sharing intimate experiences with people who aren't interested in pillow talk.
If you're already dating, trouble may arise this summer when Mercury goes retrograde from August 5 to August 28. Consider whether you are trying to fix or improve your partner despite being comfortable with who they are. If you realize you're actually interested in someone different, be kind, don't be judgmental, and be gently honest.
