Libra Love Horoscope January 2026
Love might get off to a lazy start, Libra, but it won’t stay that way for long. For the first three weeks of January, focus on self-care and nurturing. The Sun, your ruler Venus and Mars are all in Capricorn and your fourth house of home, putting you in nesting mode.
Not that this can’t be romantic! Lasting love is rooted in emotional security and trust, and you’ll be drawn to strengthen those types of bonds in January. The Venus cazimi (meetup with the Sun) on January 6 lends insight into what makes you feel truly at home with someone, while the Venus-Mars conjunction on the 7th can help you add more passion-provoking energy to your home. (Bedroom makeover, anyone?)
Cozy season ends abruptly on January 19, when Venus moves into Aquarius and your passionate, playful fifth house, followed by sizzling Mars on the 23rd. Romance takes on a playful, flirtatious tone and chemistry can heat up fast.
On January 26, relationships take center stage when fantasy-planet Neptune settles into Aries and your committed partnerships house, where it will stay all the way through 2039. The kind of windswept, romantic couplings Libras dream of could be top of the agenda now. But make sure you truly understand someone’s motives, as Neptune can be deceptive (its shadow expression).
Are you being totally honest with yourself and any current partners about what you need? Or (here’s a tough one) are you deceiving yourself about who someone really is? Compassionate Neptune will help you explore those depths.
