Capricorn Monthly Love Horoscope

Mirror, mirror on the wall. You’re the flirtiest of them all this month, Capricorn, and not just because it’s your birthday season. From January 2 to February 4, love planet Venus is swinging through Pisces and your charmingly loquacious third house, blessing you with serious game. (And a bit of a wandering eye, so watch that!) 

Whether you’re a single Sea Goat or happily yoked to a mate, variety is the spice of your love life this month. Get out and enjoy the local color: live music, theater performances at a nearby university, author signings at the local bookstore. This sort of baehunting is the perfect pipeline for finding the sophisticated types you adore. 

Coupled Capricorns will feel closer to their plus-ones by hanging out with mutual friends, taking a class or tackling a collaborative project. Doing something in your shared wheelhouse will remind you why you're such a dynamic duo. A long-weekend road trip is another great way to bond. Keep the itinerary flexible so you can pull off for a few spontaneous detours—and make sure the trunk is big enough to fit a few antiques.

Have you been keeping quiet about an important matter? Mars is retrograde in Cancer and your seventh house of relationships from January 6 to February 23, which can make you feel like a simmering volcano. Don’t wait until you erupt to sort out these issues, Capricorn—that’s when your trademark cool goes AWOL.

If you’re not clear on how to broach things diplomatically, talk it out with a wise (and neutral) sounding board first. Bear that in mind on the 14th, when Venus gets into a challenging formation with bloviating Jupiter. Are you “just being honest” or turning to cruelty? You could take your candor a little too far, turning love into a battlefield. 

When Venus syncs up to Saturn, your no-nonsense ruler, on the 18th, discussions about “the two of us” could get serious. This could be one of the best days of the month for proactive, solution-oriented interactions. 

Venus trines dance partner Mars on the 25th, which can be an epic day for love, IF you’re willing to drop a few assumptions. First impressions don’t tell the whole story, so if you’re mildly intrigued, dig a little deeper. Retrograde Mars may reveal some imbalances between you and your S.O., but today, you’ll strike creative compromises. 

A sexy ex could flit back into your orbit any time after the 6th, thanks to red-hot Mars backing up through your relationship zone. Think carefully before inviting a disruptive person back into your life. Coupled Caps, steel your willpower. A “simple coffee date” could spiral into destructive fantasizing that interferes with the good thing you’ve got going on with someone else.
