Love Goddess Venus has entered a new sign, Aquarius, where she’ll reign with an open mind between January 3 and 27.
Venus in Aquarius Themes
Aquarius is a rational sign so when it comes to love it can be easier to be cool, calm and collected. That said, Venus in Aquarius will want to rewrite the love rules, and will prefer to do things her way, rather than follow tradition.
Venus has moved out of sometimes somber Capricorn, a cautious earth sign, and will become more social and curious in airy Aquarius. Air signs have a warmth to them, which can encourage new experiences or a try-anything-once approach to dating or relationships.
Venus in Aquarius may invite you to do things differently, or to find your own path in love and with relationships. The independent energy of Aquarius can help you trust your instincts, rather than follow the rules, especially those set by others.

Venus in Aquarius Through the Houses

Venus, the Planets and Hot Dates
While in Aquarius Venus will link to Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter, highlighting key dates for love and relationships in January.
Venus sextile Saturn in Sagittarius, January 4 – 6 (1 Aquarius to 1 Sagittarius)
Saturn provides a stabilising energy to help you focus on logistics or practicalities in love. Attend to your responsibilities and keep your promises. The pace of love may be slower or more cautious, but with good reason.
Commitments made now will be kept, so double check before confirming. Love can be steady, solid and grounded.
Venus sextile Uranus in Aries, January 13 – 14 (12 Aries to 12 Aquarius)
Love is exciting and spicy as Venus and Uranus form a supportive angle. Variety will help keep things interesting so banish boring dating or relationship routines and experiment with a fresh experience.
Uranus is a fire planet and is currently in a fire sign (Aries) so this can add passion and spark to all kinds of relationships – romantic, family and friendship.
Venus opposite Jupiter in Leo, January 19 – 20 (19 – 20 Leo to 19 – 20 Aquarius)
Generosity is the romantic buzzword as Venus and Jupiter face off, however take care you don’t go overboard and end up in a situation where your generosity is unreciprocated. Giving is important, but take a moment to ensure the person you want to spoil is truly deserving.
A stagnant romance can be reinvigorated by splurging on a five star night out. If you are single and out to impress, spare no expense.
But remember, sometimes the simplest acts of kindness, like being supportive or taking an interest can be the most generous of all.
