Remember Venus in Sagittarius? Its wild and adventurous vibes helped you branch out and try something new in your love life—but the outgoing energy is becoming a bit more serious and dedicated starting November 25, when the planet of love starts its trek through the cardinal earth sign, Capricorn. The earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are having the most fun with this transit, while the cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, and Libra are experiencing a sense of urgency when it comes to their relationships.

Capricorn is a pretty serious (and sometimes solemn) sign, because it’s ruled by Saturn, the planet of structure, responsibilities, and challenges. Capricorn is an ambitious, determined sign that values status and longevity (that’s why the stereotypical Capricorn is a businessperson, a CEO, or some other type of boss lady). So now that Venus is chilling in Capricorn until December 20, you’re not interested in packing your Google Cal with booty calls, you want something real.

You’re looking for commitment, stability, and a long-term S.O., so upgrading your relationship status with your crush or taking an already-existing relationship to the next step is super likely now! Venus in Sagittarius helped you figure out who and what you like in your love/sex life. If you’re with someone, now you have a better idea of how to work on your relationship and smooth out all the kinks and problems to make it perfect. If you’re single and ready to mingle, Venus in Capricorn is here to help you lock down a partner that’s right for you, and help your love life glow up, big time.

Venus in Capricorn is making you feel more attracted to people who are ambitious, driven, and dedicated (so, just like a Capricorn, pretty much) and who also want the same things you do out of a relationship. It’s not the best time to experiment with new kinks or positions in the bedroom, because you’re really only interested in what you know you like. This makes it tough for the single crowd, because you’re feeling especially picky and if you see just one thing “off” about your latest Tinder match, you totally lose interest. If you do find someone that meets all of your qualifications for being your boo, then you can take on more intentional, headstrong, Capricorn-y behavior and secure a relationship with them!

Venus’ stay in Capricorn this go ‘round is more difficult than normal, however, because it’s sharing its space in the sign with Saturn, that strict, no-fun planet I mentioned earlier, as well as Pluto, the planet of destruction, transformation, and the underworld. Sounds spooky, right? Well, that’s because it is. Fun! Some key dates to watch out for:

  • December 11. Saturn and Venus connect, which makes you feel like there’s a blockage in your love life preventing you from connecting with others.

  • December 13. Pluto and Venus touch, making you crave deep connections to the point of being low-key obsessive (which can, um, be mega problematic if you’re single).

  • November 28. Venus and Uranus, planet of surprises, harmonize, bringing pleasant changes to your love life–think meeting a total dreamboat, or having mind-blowing sex with your boo.

  • December 3. Venus forms a supportive connection with Mars, planet of action and libido.

  • December 8. Venus teams up with dreamy Neptune, the romantic planet of emotions and deep bonds.

Overall, this might not be the most fun month of your life (although Sagittarius season’s rad vibes definitely help out there) but it’s a period of time to update your love life and really galvanize your connections with others, including friends and fam. You’re understanding more how much lasting value and dedication matter in a relationship, and you’re not letting others who are so not worth your attention waste your time. It’s a transit full of ups-and-downs, but ultimately, it’s necessary and totally worth it in the end–and it’s helping you start off 2020 feeling confident about your friendships and love life!

But first, read your Sun/Rising sign horoscopes below:

ARIES

Venus in Capricorn is helping your relationships at work more than anything, because your chart’s zone of reputation and career is being #blessed by its presence. Your boss is feeling good about your performance, your coworkers are loving you a ton, and if there was ever a time to ask for a raise or promotion, it’s now!

TAURUS

The vibes of Venus in Capricorn resonate beautifully with your own, Taurus. It’s occupying your chart’s zone of adventure, so you’re actually more encouraged to try new things in your love life rn. You’re super picky and know exactly who/what you’re attracted to, but you might catch feels for someone who’s so not your usual type, which helps you re-define what your type actually is. Also, someone from a faraway place (like, you know, a different country) might enter your love life too, which means that your next boo might come with a sexy accent, too!

GEMINI

This is the ultimate “cuffing season” for your sign, because Venus is staying in your chart’s zone of intimacy, plus Sagittarius season is all about relationships for you! You’re not usually about settling down with someone, but you may connect with someone that really does it for you now, and makes you want to dedicate yourself to them. Side note: you might also receive a huge inheritance or financial gift out of the blue with this transit, too.

CANCER

This transit is in your chart’s relationships zone, so you’re getting the best luck in love from Venus in Capricorn! It’s making things with your current boo work out more smoothly, it’s making you attract hella hotties if you’re single, and it’s helping all of your friendships grow stronger, too! Congrats, Cancer, you basically won the astrological jackpot with this!

LEO

For the next month, the type of love Venus is helping you focus on most is self-love. Not super thrilling, I know, but hear me out: your love life can’t be at its very best unless you’re at your very best. This period of time is great for improving your self-care routine, starting healthy exercise/eating habits, and giving yourself the ultimate Marie Kondo-style makeover and organizing the hell out of your life.

VIRGO

Get ready, Virgo, life’s about to get way more fun with Venus in Capricorn! It’s turning on your chart’s zone of romance and sex, so you’re getting laid more, going on more dates, and feeling more confident than ever about your love life. You’re full of energy, becoming more outgoing, and thanks to Mars in Scorpio right now, too, you’re making tons of new connections!

LIBRA

Right now, you’re learning to love your family, your home, and the people closest to you thanks to Venus in Capricorn. Your fam and home life are some of the most major support systems you have, so it’s important that you have strong, healthy relationships with them. If you and your family are distant, now’s the time to reconnect. If that ship has totally sailed, now’s the time to strengthen your bonds with your chosen family and roomies. Oh, and it’s also a great time to beautify and redecorate your home!

SCORPIO

Venus in Capricorn is helping you meet tons of new people and leave a great first impression! You don’t have to go far to make these new connections, either–cuties are sliding into your DMs like crazy, you’re running into new friends/hookups at your regular hangouts, or your phone is blowing up with all those Tinder matches you’re making now. It’s a busy but a *fun* time, so it’ll really fly by. Yay!

SAGITTARIUS

Venus is the planet of love, pleasure, and beauty, but did you know that it’s also the planet of luxury and money? Right now, Venus in Capricorn is helping you chase your bag and make some extra moolah, and you’re sort of becoming a money magnet! You’re filling up your bank account, sure, but make sure you’re not spending all the money you earn–this transit tempts you to blow your cash on regular “treat yourself” days and impulse buys, so make sure to save some of it up.

CAPRICORN

With the planet of love and beauty in your sign, it only makes sense that you’re embodying more Venusian vibes now, right? For the next month, you’re looking good and feeling gorgeous, and attracting aaaaall the hotties! It’s a great time to update your wardrobe, meet new potential lovers, or get a makeover, but most of all it’s the perfect opportunity to glow up your love life and have a great time!

AQUARIUS

Venus in Capricorn is on a mission to help your relationship with yourself rn. It’s in your chart’s 12th house, which rules isolation, your subconscious, and self-undoing, so you’re actually feeling mega-introverted and morose. You’re diving deep in your feels, learning about destructive patterns that play out in your relationships, and learning to squash your self-defeating habits and behaviors. Take it easy, enjoy the alone time. Dream, meditate, and take care of yourself, Aquarius.

PISCES

Your chart’s zone of friendships is being lit up by Venus in Capricorn! You’re spending all your free time with your squad, doing a ton of networking, and making new friends everywhere you go! Since Capricorn isn’t the most fun sign in the zodiac, you’re taking a more serious approach to your platonic and professional connections now, and paying close attention to the types of people you associate with. Do you hang out with ambitious, driven, hard-working people, or are you starting to notice that a lot of your friends are low-key total bums? The people you surround yourself with say a ton about you, so make sure your network is full of people that are just as dedicated to being their best as you are!
