January 2026 - This month, love starts and ends with watery emotional energy, Cancer. The full moon (your sensitive ruler) is in your sign on January 3, putting a big target on your desires. Your first instinct might be to get shy and hide them, but what good does that really do? A fresh cycle can finally start when you drop that old emotional baggage and really let your vulnerability be seen.

There’s an organized new moon in Capricorn on the eighteenth that activates your partnership zone, making it a powerful time to set intentions about the kind of relationship you want. This is a great time to edit or rewrite your dating profile so it’s more up-to-date, or to say yes to that someone who just keeps checking in with you. You’re not needy; you’re ready.

On January 24, Pallas enters intuitive Pisces, unlocking your ninth house of adventure. If you’ve been curious about potential matches with spiritual or artistic vibes, now is the time to flirt! Love might be waiting in those unexpected places.
