Weekly Love Horoscopes Are Here For January 12 - 18 — Venus Enters Aquarius
Design: YourTango | Photo: NUDE Nahum from Pexels, Canva Weekly love horoscopes are here for January 12 - 18, 2026, a week when the energy shifts in each zodiac sign's relationship as the planet of love changes signs. At the beginning of the week, Chiron makes several aspects between January 12 - 15 that may increase insecurities in some or make us aware of what our insecurities are and how they can play out in ways that can be personally destructive, keeping us from loving ourselves and interfering with relationships with others due to self-doubt. However, Venus trines Uranus on January 15, which is a great transit for love or just trying something new.
Venus enters Aquarius from January 17 to February 10. Venus in Aquarius is unpredictable and brings a more detached approach to love. You may not want to be confined or feel too tied down and may be more open to unusual friendships and hanging out with people who are different from your usual social circle, or you may be drawn to unconventional types of relationships. Past issues or those from the past may show back up when Venus conjuncts Pluto from January 17 to 19. You may feel driven to find something out about a love interest over the weekend, but it's best to avoid bringing up negative, difficult, or contentious subjects. The New Moon in Capricorn on January 18 is a powerful time for clarity and growth, but it may not come easily because the Moon conjuncts Mars along with Mercury conjunct Mars. The best advice is to direct this energy into something. For example with Mars, it could be physical activities such as hiking, walking, golfing, anything that involves physical movement and action.

Leo, the relationship between Venus and Saturn this week is an important energy for you. If nothing else, it shows you the importance of reliability or even longevity.
Venus enters Aquarius, or your seventh house of partners, on the 17th. However, Venus is conjunct Pluto, which can result in points of view that don’t mix or issues over money or closeness. Don’t let things get blown out of proportion, especially as we approach the New Moon over the weekend.
Virgo

Virgo, this is a great week to focus on small gestures that mean something rather than grand announcements of love. It’s an excellent time to discuss future plans if you want to move forward in a relationship.
While a New Moon in your fifth house of love is typically a great time for romance, all of the Mars energy involved could make it more difficult this weekend. If things are generally positive, don’t expect trouble. But if there are lingering problems and issues in your relationship, you can expect them to show up at this time.
Libra

Scorpio, the Moon in your sign connects with Venus on the 13th, which could bring about or feel like new beginnings in love and romance.
Watch things when Venus enters Aquarius on the 17th, because Venus conjunct Pluto can create jealousy and suspicion, which you are familiar with. Don’t get too intense on Saturday or during the New Moon on Sunday, because you could regret it. The Moon’s conjunction to Mars could stir up communication issues.
Sagittarius
