Capricorn Monthly Love Horoscope

It may be all but impossible to stray from your relationship goals this month as romantic Venus marches through Libra and your tenth house of future plans until September 10. You might hold your S.O.'s feet to the fire about a commitment or next-level promise. With diplomatic and seductive Venus in your corner, employ a softer touch. No need to threaten or give ultimatums. Just paint an irresistible picture of what your shared life could be!

When the Sun moves into Libra and your ambitious tenth house on September 22, the blue-sky dreaming of Virgo season gives way to revved-up desire, with clear goals. Since Capricorn is the natural ruler of the zodiac's tenth house, you feel most in your element here. You’ll be ready to build your bold visions for love into something tangible.

Meanwhile, fiery Mars is traveling through sensitive Cancer and your seventh house of committed partnership until September 27. Ever since it arrived on August 11, this transit has stirred a craving for deep emotional bonds and something built to last. Whether you're currently attached or not, now's a good time to put your own needs front and center in relationships, and to set clear limits around them where needed.

Lightness enters the picture on September 10 when magnetic Venus enters Scorpio and your eleventh house of socializing. This Venus cycle is more playful than serious (but it’s still sexy!), and you could find yourself spending more time with friends, going to community events or nurturing a platonic connection before diving off the romantic deep end. Keep things open and exploratory. Single Caps could meet someone truly special at a lively gathering or via an introduction from a friend. A personal referral could make your heart sing, meaning a lot less of your valuable time gets spent vetting!

Head’s up about Venus: the love planet turns retrograde this fall, from October 3 to November 13, backing up through Libra and Scorpio! These are two of the most relationship-oriented zodiac signs and while Venus is retrograde, matters of love can become complicated. The good news? This Venus retrograde will be a chance to put old love stories to bed and to write a fresh chapter for your heart.
