3 Zodiac Signs Whose Love Lives Will Change During Capricorn Season

Romantic love is a valid and honorable desire worth pursuing, but it’s also worth waiting for. You want the real thing, not a cheap imitation.

Settling for second best, in today’s world, can feel remarkably tempting at times, even for individuals with a strong sense of self. After all, it can feel alienating and lonely to see an endless sea of engagement and wedding photoshoots on your social media feed when you are chronically single.

The spiritual community can be a toxic place when you are desperately seeking answers regarding your love life. From TikTok tarot readers assuring you that your twin flame is right around the corner, to manifestation coaches who make lavish promises that you will attract a rich husband if you only pay thousands of dollars for their course, it’s a seemingly endless rabbit hole. And it’s frighteningly easy to get lost in.

Even some astrologers are guilty of misguiding clients who are determined to find the so-called “love indicators” in their solar return charts. While there certainly are transits that typically correspond with an enhanced focus on romance, sometimes they can simply hint at an unrequited infatuation or a friend whose advances you have to turn down. It isn’t quite as cut-and-dry as pop astrology will have you believe.

For a truly personalized love reading, you’ll need to consult a professional, reputable astrologer. However, a few important indicators can be found even in general readings, and there are a few rising signs that are more easily attracting romance this Capricorn season. Read on to understand why.

Cancer.

With Capricorn ruling your seventh house, this is always an especially romantic time of year for you. Your focus is on relationships and how you function within them. The intensity of your love for others, and your commitment to soul-bonding, is heightened as Venus lingers in your eighth house. The planet of love will remain there until January 2, so make the most of this window of time; if you’re invited to a New Year’s party, don’t pass up the opportunity, as your next romantic partner might just be in the crowd. Be wary of overindulging or compromising on your own values for the sake of a deeply sensual relationship, though: while Mars is retrograde in your second house, you might feel the need to spend more to keep up with a partner who is taking more than they’re giving. Set clear boundaries and enforce them more strongly until January 6, when the warrior planet goes direct.

Leo.

Venus is currently holding court in your seventh house, closely conjunct with Pluto. This is electrifying, potentially life-altering energy that invites all kinds of relationships. If it’s love you’re seeking, under this transit your prospects will be intimidating in their breadth of power and moral courage. If you want a partner who is equally committed to changing the world, you’re likely to draw them into your world right now. Capricorn rules your sixth house, so it’s possible you’ll meet someone through work, where your shared values and common interests will energize you to start a conversation about how to shake things up. Be watchful until January 6, when Mars in your first house is retrograde; your capacity for aggression and hostility is greater right now, making you more combative and more likely to make impulsive decisions due to perceived slights. Cultivate patience and remain willing to hear people out, even if you are firmly confident in your convictions.

Aquarius.

With Venus lighting up your first house until January 2 (in close conjunction with transformative Pluto, no less), you’re capable of attracting both romance and wealth, if you so desire. At this point in history, you wield more power than any of the other rising signs, since the slowest-moving planet is currently deconstructing your identity and bringing tremendous change to the way others perceive your radical ideals. Relationally, this is a good time to keep your mind open to all possibilities. Since Capricorn rules your twelfth house, this might be the time of year you choose to keep a new relationship secret or embark on an exciting forbidden romance. However, be cautious around new male partners: while Mars is retrograde in your seventh house until January 6, you may mistake sexual chemistry for true love and get in too deep. Avoid falling into the trap of limerence.
