Either way, the astrology for January 2025 sets the stage for a year full of romance, relationship changes, and more — and the love horoscope for January for each zodiac sign reflects this. Check it out!
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your career is keeping you busy as you begin the year. But the first week of the month is a good time to check in with yourself about romantic affairs and adventures that seem more aligned with your higher self — since your ruling planet, lusty Mars, will continue retrograde through your romantic sector until January 6, forming a lucky trine with the North Node of Destiny in your sign.
Speaking of the Lunar Nodes, the South Node, geared toward release, leaves your partnership zone on January 11, completing a powerful period of clearing stagnant energy in your closest relationships over the last two years. When Aquarius season begins, you’ll have more energy to mix and mingle, so plan some group hangouts or go out and flirt — especially under the new moon on January 29.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
This year begins with an exciting sense of adventure and open-mindedness in love, and you’ll feel especially sociable when your loving cosmic ruler Venus hits your community house on January 2. On January 11, the South Node of Destiny, geared toward release, enters your dating zone, prompting you to let go of negative habits in your love life and clear out your emotional inventory so you can reconnect with the things you are truly passionate about in romance.
Is there relationship frustration or a secret desire brewing beneath the surface? The full moon on January 13 is a great time to say what you need to say to your lovers.

Turn off the mental chatter and spend some time alone or with a partner, as you deserve to indulge.
A much lighter, freer, and more playful energy will take over you when Aquarius season begins, so use the final third of the month to try new and adventurous things and be a bit more open about what’s possible in your romantic relationships. Experimenting is a good thing, and you don’t always need to follow the status quo.
