There's a great transit for your romantic life that kicks in on January 15. Your intelligent ruling planet Mercury moves into your 5th House of Romance then, giving you a chance to pick up on pleasurable activities that may have gotten sidetracked back in December. If you're interested in reconnecting with someone or engaging in fresh ways to have fun, this is a great time to start.

What makes you especially attractive with this transit is the confidence you show and your willingness to come on a bit stronger than usual. Taking some of your good analytical skills and applying them to your personal life doesn't sound romantic but it's an excellent way to put yourself in a better position.

In fact, on January 4 the Capricorn Moon falls in your 5th House of Sensuality. This is often a "go” signal, letting you know that it's time to take the lead in matters of the heart. Yet this New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse bringing a message to let go where you're holding on too tightly. Old ideas of fun or a connection that's grown stale need a major shakeup. If that's not possible, it's best to cut some ties.

Meeting your obligations is understandable but when your sense of duty dulls the brightness of your heart it's important to consider moving on. When you start with clarity and commitment to your own needs and desires it's easier to express what you want and much more likely that you'll get it.
