Hi sweetheart, and welcome to the weekly love horoscope reading for January 13th – 19th, as we race into the heart of January with the New Year truly getting going.
With Venus conjunct Saturn in Pisces square Jupiter, this could be an excellent time to start a new romance, and while a new romance that comes along can be incredibly comfortable with a lot of friendship, you may find there is a lack of chemistry and it simply isn’t lighting up your life.
So if you are looking for a very pragmatic relationship, that’s low maintenance, you are able to find it this week, but if you are looking for something that will be exciting and really bring you out of yourself by showing you a whole new way of looking at life, that’s not going to happen.
This is a good week for working on your long term relationships and making arrangements so that you can get more quality time together. It really is all about quality over quantity in love, you can’t get by with superficially and insincerity, you have to play love with a ‘straight bat’, as it were.
With Sun in Capricorn trine Uranus in Taurus, and this grounding earthy influence, your focus this week should be on improving the way you relate to other people and that means improving communication and your soft skills.
Here’s Your Weekly Love Horoscope for January 13th – 19th:
Read your weekly love horoscope, based on your Zodiac sign. Remember to check your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign for better accuracy…
Aries: Wow factor
With your ruler retrograde in Cancer and Venus square Jupiter, it may be necessary for you and your partner to clear the air, so even if there is some confrontation, you should grin and bear it and just get everything out on the table.
It’s a time for honesty and for creating greater clarity in relationships, but it does come at a cost, which is that there’s going to be a little bit of heated debate. However, in new and existing relationships, conflict can also be a sign of attraction.
So even if you’ve only been in a relationship for a short period of time, and you find that it’s becoming more dramatic and intense, that’s an indicator that things are actually moving in the right direction, and conflict is an indicator of intensity of feeling developing.
If you’re in a relationship, and it is very cool, calm and collected, there is probably something wrong. Whereas, if you’re in a relationship and there’s a little bit of drama, it means at least there is a good energy and relationship is meaningful. You guys won’t fight if there’s nothing worth fighting for.
With Mars trine Neptune, this can be a fantastic time of renewal and affirming your life force. So this month I want you to organize activities and goals that will help you feel enthused and enlivened.
Your goals could be social or they could be creative, but it’s very important that you are setting aside time to do something that gives you a ‘wow’ factor that allows you to express yourself fearlessly and which capitalizes on your free-spirited nature.
Taurus: You can’t hurry love… or life
With your ruler, Venus, square Jupiter but conjunct Saturn, this week you may experience a freedom closeness dilemma in love: one side of you needs a lot more freedom and you want to express yourself in your love life spontaneously.
However, it may be the case that your partner is a little bit more cautious, and views some of your new ideas or your new approaches to life with a bit of skepticism. So your exuberance can alienate your partner without you meaning it to have that effect and that can temporarily threaten closeness.
You have a great deal of power at your disposal, but you have to time your actions with perfection, and this is just not the right week – refine and perfect, and then sit back and wait for the perfect time. Strategy is all-important now, and rushing things will not bring the best result.
With Sun trine Uranus but Mars retrograde, for those of you who have no specific aim or goal in motion, this can be a frustrating time where you feel lost and drift from thing to thing, waiting for something to click.
Even in this situation, there is much to be gained as you can achieve a sense of what is really important in life – this seeking is meant to put you in touch with your spiritual path, making you look beyond material goals to establish meaning in life away from the rat race.
Take time to find your right course; there is no hurry, so do not force yourself like a round peg into a square hole – you are undergoing a change within and that needs to be reflected in a change in your external focus.
Gemini: Second Thoughts
With Venus in Pisces conjunct Saturn and Mars retrograde, this is not a good period under which to begin a relationship because you don’t have the necessary confidence, and you won’t be emitting the right vibe to attract a positive uplifting relationship.
During this week in January as Mercury moves through Capricorn, you will probably want to spend more time alone and are less likely to want to socialize. It can however, be a very good time if you need to focus on work, or a personal project and you want to shut out distractions.
There may be some conflicts between yourself and your prospective in laws i.e. a new partner’s family. It’s best for you to steer clear of his family intrigue as you can only get burned.
In a new relationship there may be incompatibilities between your current set of friends and a new lover. Although these may simply be superficial responses or excuses stemming from fear and hesitation about taking these the next steps in love.
You are often having second thoughts in romantic relationships and may need a rethink or some time to reflect on the power issues in your relationship and strategies to work with these or create stronger boundaries.
Cancer: What’s good for the goose is good for the gander
With Mars retrograde trine Neptune, your love relationships will have an unusual path and will probably defy the norm, the course will be hard to predict and it can have dramatic up and downs.
You and your partner may not be able to depend on each other as much as you would both prefer as there are limits to what you can both offer each other due to circumstances. One or both of you may not want to be tied down, but may want something quite flexible this week.
Existing long term relationships may have to endure a period of transition while you and your partner both decide “what next” and I do mean both, as often with these transits one partner sees the other as the problem, and vice versa, and yet you both need to make changes as there is restlessness within you both.
One may want more major changes than the other, but you both need more personal freedom and should not be living in each other’s pockets or having a very restrictive, controlling relationship.
Use this period to pause and re-engage about recent decisions you both have made as well as events, and ask yourself, do we want this, should we change gear now, do we understand this properly, are we truly in agreement or are we just going with the flow.
Leo: Opportunity knocks
Venus conjunct Saturn in your 8th solar house brings karmic opportunity and it’s highly likely that you will meet a new partner in an unusual context. It’s indicated that you will already have a degree of trust with a new person you develop a romance with…
So it’s highly likely that you have already some past experience with that person and have developed a rapport, possibly within a professional setting, and therefore the relationship is able to proceed quickly with a strong basis of trust.
The power of attraction works strongly and if you have set yourself a goal of meeting someone, that will manifest and you will be successful. So if you have applied any positive thinking or have been proactive in making an advance then it’s likely he will see dividends.
However, with Mars retrograde trine Neptune, this particular relationship will be a slow burner, it’s not a relationship that will become hot and passionate immediately the deeper connection will have to be built up over time.
In existing relationships, this week may seem like one of crisis, as it’s hard to reach agreement and you may feel there’s less common ground, however it’s a result of the Mars retrograde period which encourages deeper thinking; and analysis and some indecision or toying with ideas is normal.
Virgo: Pioneering in Love
Virgo tend to be very excitable in love, your passions are quickly aroused, you love to be in love and you are a natural romantic. Jupiter square Venus which is conjunct Saturn your 5th house ruler and in your 7th, brings a fantastic time for your romantic life, so it’s great to be out there meeting new people, doing social activities, joining groups and getting to know a lot of people. If you are in a relationship, romance and fun are all about brand new ventures and teamwork on pioneering activities.
The key in seeking love right now it’s casting the net wide, you should rather focus on expansion, and that means widening your range of friends, meeting up with different colleagues, starting new hobbies to increase the range of people you know.
The more people you know, the more likely you are to be introduced, or to find love, however you shouldn’t be jumping into the first relationship that comes along, you should be staying a little detached and keeping people in the friend zone for quite a while, while you find your feet in love. Have fun until the emotional side of the relationship clicks in later on.
This is probably not the most creative week for Virgo, it’s more about understanding mechanisms, processes and requirements and making sure you understand these and get things right.
Sometimes it’s important to get to know the rules of the game before you are able to put your stamp on them, so this is a good month to make sure you understand exactly what’s going to be required from any of your tasks, missions or career plans this year, and make sure you develop some excellent protocols.
Libra: Tread the fine line
This is an important week of the year for Libra who are involved in romances, this is a month of crisis and turning points in love, it’s a time when a partner will either prove himself to you in a good way or a bad way, but either way you should get some clarity, even if you don’t find out everything that you necessarily want to.
With Venus conjunct Saturn, it’s important to be alert to signs and signals in love, you don’t want to be like an ostrich, if there is something that is causing you concern, you really want to investigate it seriously.
So this is a time when you may need to have some slightly more difficult and possibly emotive conversations with a partner, just to find out if you’re on the same page and if you both agree on where the relationship is going.
Libra tend to be analytical, cool, calm and collected, and you prefer to avoid conflict, however you shouldn’t allow your conflict avoiding nature to lull you into complacency in relationships. This is a time when certain conversations have to be had, even if you risk a little bit of drama, and even if your partner becomes slightly emotional.
With Venus square Jupiter and Mars retrograde in Cancer you may have to deal with a partner who is a little tricky to pin down, a little bit opaque, possibly more moody and irrational. All these things are a challenge for you, so in relationships you have to dig deep and use your perceptive insight and wisdom.
Scorpio: Turning the corner
With Sun trine Uranus and Venus square Jupiter, Scorpio need to pay close attention to changes within your mate. Perhaps out of force of habit you think you know what to expect from him or you think that you know him so well you no longer need to pay close attention to his moods…
However, things are changing for him: his values, needs and perspectives are not static and if you are not aware of and do not adjust to these changes things could be difficult.
Open your mind and begin to learn about your loved one again – this can be very exciting, like a rediscovery. For relationships that have been in difficulty, this New Year could be a turning point where you either separate or where things turn the corner.
You have been standing back from taking chances in new relationships, but when you connect with someone this New Year it will seem natural to let go and let your heart off the leash.
This new relationship has the potential to be rather transformative for you; it may help boost you into a new phase in life or help you to take chances in other walks of life. Ideally it will nurture more security for you and this will be a springboard for other areas of your life.
With Mars retrograde in Cancer, Scorpio are in the process of restructuring their lives; you are driven to get organized and purge yourself of old relationships, habits, people and places which no longer serve your needs.
However, you should not fall into thinking that you suddenly have all the answers. Unexpected events will force you to reassess and you should take a step back and ask yourself what these events are trying to tell you.
Sagittarius: Higher Purpose
With Saturn conjunct Saturn square Jupiter, this is a time to show strength and endurance in a love, often there are surprise events and not everything your partner does will necessarily please you.
In some cases a partner may not be supportive or may be aloof and vague, so you may not feel as supported or appreciated in the relationship as you could be. However it is not necessarily the case that your partner is being dismissive, they may merely have other things on their mind.
The key in relationships is being patient and pragmatic, it’s very important to keep everything in proportion and to tackle problems as they arise not preemptively.
Happiness happens at a deep not a superficial level this week, as what you experience usually has a significant impact in terms of security and stability needs. Wherever you lack gratification it’s more noticeable, and thus you have the ability to make adjustments on a practical level.
I want you to make sure that whatever you set out to achieve this week has a positive intention, you should not be motivated by things like getting even, jealousy revenge or competitiveness.
You should be inspired by your own unique creative potential, and you should seek to do things that will advance your goals, improve your self-esteem and allow you to express yourself with aplomb in your career, or just more generally within your life.
Capricorn: Act in haste, repent at leisure
With Mars retrograde in Cancer and Saturn square Jupiter, this is a tricky week in love, there are lots of dilemmas and you and your partner may be arguing over different options in terms of your relationship or the decisions you have to make jointly as a couple.
In many cases you may have to deal with a partner who is somewhat indecisive, and as you have a great need to move on with things and to take matters into your own hands this causes conflict.
However, you need to delay this, you mustn’t undermined your partner by going over his head, remember to keep the conversation going and keep it constructive, but don’t jump the gun, wait until you can both agree on certain amount of things.
This is not best week for dating, simply because you need to get more organized in terms of your own mind. There are certain emotions right now which have been raked up and still need to settle, and there’s a certain impatience to you that can lead you to make the wrong decisions in new relationships.
So it’s best to avoid dating, going to clubs or places where you likely to meet a guy on a night out, it’s better to indulge your romantic yearning through movies, music or books, rather than reality.
The key saying in ongoing relationships is ‘act in haste repent at leisure’. It’s far easier to count to 10 and not say something than have to apologize afterwards, so watch out for actions and words said in anger because these can waste a lot of time in terms of having to apologize and make reparations.
Aquarius: Upside down, boy you turn me
Sun in Capricorn trine Uranus means this is definitely a week to face your fears. Often fears become obstacles simply because we keep pushing them to the back of our mind, but when we do that we are actually reinforcing a notion in our heads that we can’t deal with these things.
However, once you deal with a problem or any crisis in your life, even if you only do it in a piecemeal way by taking a small step, you immediately send your higher self a message that you are taking action and being assertive in this matter, and this can be the difference between turning something around or sitting bogged down worrying about something.
With Venus conjunct Saturn in your solar second house, during this week it can feel like a long cruise rather than an international flight, and what I mean by that is progress is slow, so whatever you and your partner are tackling, whether you are trying to increase romance, deal with financial issues or family problems, it takes a lot of patience and persistence.
However, often what is at the root of things going so slowly is a highly rigid approach. You and your partner are probably feeling stuck in a rut, and although there’s a degree of frustration and even impatience for things to change, there’s actually a lack of willingness on either of your parts to take bold steps, and take a few risks in making that change.
So the key now as a couple is having an innovative approach to the way you do things, taking something that you’ve always done and just turning it on its head, turning it upside down and looking at it a different way. So don’t be afraid to do something a little outrageous or spontaneous because that could be the breath of fresh air the relationship needs.
Pisces: Karma Waters in Love
During this week with Mars retrograde in Cancer, karma is a very important factor in love. Things from the past will have a large effect on this current period in terms of the events and outcomes, so in order to successfully navigate your relationships, it may be important to go over old ground, to resolve differences and clear up any misunderstandings.
With Venus in Pisces square Jupiter, success in a relationship right now is being honest with yourself about feelings of anger, resentment or hurt that you are harboring and unable to let go off, and also to examine whether your partner is maybe carrying around some similar feelings right now.
While a new relationship could begin this week, the relationship may not be successful if you have not properly cut ties and resolved a previous relationship.
This is not a good time for rebound relationships, you need to make sure that you have totally settled the feelings connected to a previous partnership, ensuring that you’re not still hankering over that partnership.
It’s highly likely that a relationship that begins now will have a certain element of fatefulness attached, or even a possible past life connection, which could mean that the relationship gets deep very quickly, but it could also mean that there’s some hidden complications that will really challenge you, but which could be very important in terms of your psychological and spiritual growth this year.
Summary
This is an excellent time for a reality check, especially in terms of your level of contentment in family life, love and even where you live and with whom you share emotions. Your home could provide a sanctuary now, as long as those who you truly love, love and support you back. If not, you need a serious assessment of the way forward.
Key phrases for this week:
