Taurus: Monthly romantic

Despite the weather, the month warms up as your ruling planet venus glides into wishful pisces on january 2, bringing a surge of tenderness and heightened sensitivity. Whether or not you’re coupled up, this transit whispers sweet nothings of deep connection and soul-stirring encounters. The universe’s advice? Keep your expectations in check and enjoy the magic of each moment. When venus squares off with jupiter on the fourteenth, she adds a dash of playful chaos to your love life, putting your desires on blast and having you crave grand romantic gestures and extravagant expressions of love. And while indulging in a little luxury is never a bad thing, you’ll want to avoid going too far over budget or further into debt. Thankfully, venus trines action-oriented mars on january 25, gifting you with enthusiasm and confidence. This is your cue to take control and make things happen, taurus! If you’re married, surprise your partner with something you know they really want. Single? Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. This is the perfect time to be bold. Finally, the new moon in aquarius on the twenty-ninth emphasizes your individuality and helps you get out of any romantic routines that have grown stale. As fresh energy is injected into your love life, it’s time to try a new activity with your partner or step outside your comfort zone to meet new people. When you open your mind, you see what’s truly possible.
