What's in Store For Your Love Life This Month? Check Out Your January Horoscope

Not only is this month the start of a new year, but it's also the start of a new decade, and with it comes some much-needed astrological changes! To dive deep into our January love and relationship horoscopes, POPSUGAR spoke with Laura Brown, astrologer and founder of Intuitive Alchemy, who warned that things might be a bit all over the place. At the start of the month, "Venus (the love planet) travels through friendly Aquarius, making us much more social but also noncommittal," she said. "This transit is great for pushing some of us out of our comfort zone and finding fresh ways of expressing how we feel."

Things get a little crazier midmonth, with the full moon lunar eclipse in Cancer. This could mean that if you are in a relationship and haven't said "I love you" yet, you might here. "This transit blows our hearts wide open and leaves little space between what we feel and what we say," Brown said. Venus will then move into dreamy Pisces, and that's when we'll get "all the feels," according to Brown: "Venus naturally has the seduction part down, and now Pisces gives a little extra oomph with some wide-eyed optimism."

The full moon lunar eclipse is going to bring complete clarity around your love life this month. "You're doing some serious reevaluation around what you want in love," Brown said. "Your newfound clarity helps you to go after what you want with some gusto." So, whether that means you want to finally ask someone out or tell your parter "I love you" for the first time, you'll want to go for it!

Get ready to really feel that noncommittal Aquarius energy. "You're having trouble making up your mind this month," Brown said. "[You might find yourself] dancing back and forth around taking things to the next level." Just be careful here, because whoever you do have your eye on is growing impatient, Brown added.

Time to turn on the heat, Gemini! "You're feeling extra spicy this month," Brown said. "You know how to lure people in with your mind, but your seduction is dialed high, too." Whether you are single and have your eye on someone hot or just want to kick things up a notch in your relationship, you'll own it this month.

You typically cower away from confrontation, but something in the air is challenging that instinct in you this month. "You're flipping the script in January," Brown said. When it comes to relationships, "you'll stand your ground and speak your piece."

"While your career is hot this month, it's important to keep your partner in the loop, too," Brown cautioned. "They're going to feel a little left out in the cold while you bring the heat professionally." Her advice? Put in extra effort to spend quality time together.

Who needs mushy feelings, right? Nope, you're not getting off that easy in January! "Expect lots of heart-opening this month," Brown said. "No more hiding behind indifference. It's all coming out." So embrace those feels and allow yourself to admit your crush or acknowledge that you've developed deep feelings for the person you've been dating.

"You've got an itch to shower your special someone with the best of the best," Brown said. "Just be sure not to overwhelm them by going too over the top." While you might love to be showered with gifts, Libra, your partner might not be the same way. Try something simpler, like a fun road trip together to the mountains.

While this month might not be super exciting on the relationship front, you're just using this time to channel an amazing year for love. "You're taking some time out to clear out the past," Brown said. "You're letting go of old relationships and prepping yourself for some major romantic mojo later this year."

"It's looking like you may be considering letting go of your infamous need for freedom this month, Sagittarius," Brown said. And that's new! "Someone special will catch your eye, and you'll be ready to take things to the next level," she added.

"You're no stranger to hard work, which is good because a close relationship needs a little maintenance this month," Brown said. "It's time to give love a little refresh and invite in some fresh energy." Mix up date night, go for a long hike outside, or try something completely new together.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

With Venus in your sign, you might be feeling more intimate than your usual nonchalant self this month. Because of that, "your famous indifference is taking a back seat," Brown said. "Someone is pushing your buttons in all the right ways, and you can't resist getting closer."

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

January is all about putting in that work for love! "Your relationships are front and center for you this month," Brown said. "It's time to have a little 'state of the union' talk with your partner and make a plan to strengthen your connection." Don't be afraid to ask for what you want and state the things you need.
