Are You Setting the Right #LoveGoals? Your Venus in Capricorn Horoscope Can Help!

What’s next for your love life? Sharpen the focus of your romantic goals as the planet of amour shifts into structured Capricorn from January 23 to February 16, 2024. Your Venus in Capricorn horoscope for the four-week transit. 

After weeks of living and loving out loud while Venus journeyed through Sagittarius, the Venus in Capricorn transit can make us all a lot more reserved. Wild PDA may be off the menu, but the “horny goat” can certainly spice things up behind closed doors!

Venus in Capricorn plays the long game in love

Capricorn is the zodiac’s master planner and while Venus visits this sign, we could all benefit from pulling back and taking a cooler, more dispassionate view of amour. There’s a time to be swept away, but this ain’t it. In the sign of the Sea Goat, Venus helps us get hooves on solid ground before sailing into the sunset. Long-range goals are suddenly more important than instant gratification.

When Venus visits Capricorn, we get serious about relationships

While Venus in Sagittarius likes to get down n’ dirty, Venus in Capricorn has longevity and stamina.

Look at relationships as the investments that they are—of your time, energy and heart. Are they paying dividends? Or do you need to cash out? Or, have you not been making enough deposits in the old, emotional bank account? Love “invoices” come due with Venus in Capricorn.

Coupled? Couples can align around your shared future, discussing your 2024 dreams by a cozy fireplace. With driven Capricorn ruling romance for the next few weeks, couples could achieve something memorable—and profitable—as a pair.

Single? Make a list of the qualities you’re looking for—and the deal breakers. No apologies, either, for being attracted to status now; Capricorn supports you if you’re looking to “date up.”

Talk to your partner about taking a step toward greater commitment. Or search for someone who is ready for meaningful co-creation, though, like now. Matters of the heart will get serious, but they don’t have to be as serious as a heart attack!

Playful, seductive Venus likes to keep the mood light

Defining nebulous “situationships” could be a fun game of “You show me your bucket list, I’ll show you mine!” Or, if you’re the type who doesn’t even think about bucket lists, well, maybe it’s time to write one.

But Capricorn keeps things down to earth

A Venus in Capricorn transit highlights this zodiac sign’s element: earth. Capricorn (along with Taurus and Virgo) are the stable, provider signs. So don’t be surprised if pillow talk gets downright practical.

While Venus’s transit through earth signs may not be the most adventurous spells, they are times when we can rest in the heart-opening security of knowing that there’s someone who wants to care for us, create long-lasting security with us, and maybe build a legacy together, like a family or another venture.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) Venus in Capricorn horoscope

Your seductive powers will be in rare form starting January 23 as sultry Venus holds court in your flirtatious third house until February 16. Potential partners might form a queue for a chance to chat you up—which is where a discerning eye is needed. It’ll be easy to get carried away with the attention and believe you’re all that (well, okay, you ARE). But if someone is fixated with you and the feeling isn’t mutual, don’t give them false hope. Take the high road and avoid leading people on just to feed your ego. Read more Scorpio horoscopes.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) Venus in Capricorn horoscope

Ready to flex your superconnector skills? Affable Venus swings into Capricorn and fires up your collaborative eleventh house.

Between January 23 and February 16, your hive will be abuzz with nonstop socializing that you won’t want to miss.

Get personal: Do you know your Venus sign?

When you were born, Venus was orbiting through a specific part of the sky—and zodiac sign. Wherever that placement was is called your Venus sign. It may be the same as your Sun sign, but not necessarily.
