The good news early this year is that alluring Venus enters your 5th House of Romance on January 7. This is an invitation to play and have fun in some new and different ways. Old lovers and old games can be tiring with Venus in this adventurous sign. It could provoke some bold behavior on your part, which is fine as long as you're more into having fun than building a relationship.

Feeling settled with one person isn't always easy with Venus in Sagittarius since she arouses your interest in exploring new ways to enjoy yourself. A serious partner may not appreciate the risks you're willing to take but if you can't spread your wings socially, you're not going to be happy about it.

Nevertheless, the Sun is in your 6th House of Adjustments until January 20, which can make it difficult to convert a romantic encounter into an enduring partnership. You may be burdened with work or sidetracked with obligations that make it difficult for a connection to feel solid. However, on January 20 the Sun floats into airy Aquarius and your 7th House of Relationship Building. This transit is excellent for making new connections, especially if you're willing to consider people who don't seem like your usual type. You could attract a cool and detached person who doesn't find it easy to express his or her feelings. Yet if you're truly interested, allow more time for the situation to warm up and don't expect commitment right away.
