Mix up the mocktails and raise a toast! Your 2023 is off to a salubrious start, and once love planet Venus moves into Aquarius this Monday, January 2, start to review the health of your closest relationships. With the planet of amour in your partnership palace (AKA the seventh house) until January 26, your mind and other body parts are tuned into romance. What you’re NOT looking for now is a spike-and-crash cycle for your heart. These next four weeks will remind you that love can be a deeply healing salve…IF you are willing to dial back the pyrotechnics and find joy in the pure human connection. Aquarius is your opposite sign and when Venus pops into this realm each year, you may feel out of your fiery element. Consider it a golden opportunity to stretch out of your comfort zone and expand your range. Sapiosexual energy creates quite the buildup for physical expression of desire. Can you touch someone with your words FIRST, Leo? Challenge accepted, we hope!
Of course, you can’t be fully there for others if you don’t nurture your own happiness. So take advantage of this tender, temperature-raising transit. Strategically place candles around your home, cue up a sultry playlist and romance yourself daily. Single? You might need an updated, 2023 approach to meeting new prospects. Check out more cerebral or upscale venues. Ask friends for intros. Or ditch your go-to dating app and try a fresh one. If you’ve been seeing someone who can’t make a commitment, give ’em one last chance to change their ways, but then be prepared to walk away if they aren’t able to give you a clear deliverable by January 26.
On Friday, January 6 the cosmos hands you an extra-special gift: a Cancer full moon that brightens your twelfth house of rest, relaxation and release. Rather than just half-heartedly tuning in to your needs or lolling about, this lunar lift inspires a tidal wave of compassion and forgiveness. What “albatross” have you been wearing around your neck; what do you want to let go of? Or, hmm, perhaps you need to ask someone else to pardon YOU for something? If you’re serious about moving on, you can’t afford to sweep this under the carpet any longer.
More From ELLE
The two weeks following a full moon are “harvest time,” so initiate a conversation with that person in the spirit of bringing about resolution. Take time to reflect back on the previous six months to gain perspective and clarity about certain events and people’s behaviors (as well as your own). Since the twelfth house is associated with closure and transitions, prepare to clean house of everything that no longer fits into your life—or life as you’re envisioning it moving forward. Onward and upward, Leo!
