1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

Dear Aries, it is a good month to honour your commitments and break old patterns in your relationship. Sit down with your partner and make future plans if you’re both on the same page and seal the deal. Discuss the deal breakers, boundaries, and what you both bring to the table, and consider this as a nod from the universe to go ahead. Just keep your business low-key for now so it doesn’t attract any kalesh or buri nazar. For those who are single, go meet your friends. There is a chance they might introduce you to someone who could check all your dating boxes.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

The love horoscope for January 2026 asks you to find your love language and use it to express your affection towards your partner. This is a good month to make a new routine that involves both of you doing something the other person loves. This way, you both get to enjoy each other’s company and maybe grow some new interests. The Capricorn-Aquarius season advises you not to rush into anything just because you feel pressured. Take your sweet time and enjoy where you are right now. For those who are single, you might not find ‘the one’ this month, but there could be some interesting meet-cutes on the cards.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

Things from the past might have screwed up your relationship dynamics the last couple of years, but this month brings a new beginning for you and your partner. You’re more inclined to be where you are right now and willing to give up entertaining exes, no matter how harmless it sounds. This is a good month to rework your equation and make some new rules and boundaries that work for you both. The universe is watching you grow, Gemini, so don’t repeat your past patterns and step into your present. For the singles who want to mingle, step out of your comfort zone and get a little experimental with the way you approach people.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

Looks like someone is a smitten kitten and ready to take things to the next level in their relationship. And while I appreciate your enthusiasm, Cancer, the love horoscope for January 2026 suggests you hold your horses. Are you sure this is not a phase that you are enjoying because you’ve been single for a while? Is this someone who makes sense even when things don’t? Think about these things before popping the big question so you don’t end up abandoning your partner in the middle. For the single lads and ladies, go on as many dates as you like because how else are you supposed to find the one who passes your vibe check? Just don’t ghost them if you’re not interested. Be upfront.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

Someone’s going to get a relationship glow-up this month, and it is high time you give your partner the love, affection, and gratitude they deserve. Don’t wait for them to tell you to fix things, make plans, or think of fun date ideas. Take charge and show them that you’ve still got game and the charm to woo them. Bring back the adoration, intensity, and intimacy, and let it reflect in your actions, Leo. Monotony was never attractive; flirting, romancing, and appreciating your partner have and always will be. For people who are still in the dating pool, make sure you are bringing the right things to the table and not just sweet words. Be sincere, show up honestly, and get to know the person before making any promises.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

Dear Virgo, the love horoscope for January 2026 is bringing a steamy, wild, and crazy time for you and your current partner. You both can’t get enough of each other, and it’s like someone has switched on the ‘we don’t care about the world’ button and forgotten to turn it off. From sneaking away at family gatherings to some extra spicy PDA in front of your friends, you won’t be able to keep your hands off each other. So, enjoy the ride and show each other the best time. For those who are single, there might be some interesting options in your DMs. Filter and ask people out not just for a fun time, but also to see if things can go in a more serious direction.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

Dear Libra, you might run away from serious, committed relationships, but 2026 is the year that is going to change your perspective. This month, you’ll feel the feels, which will make you realise that not every person sucks. Romance will bloom with someone you’ve known for a long time. So, let your guard down and enjoy a month of exploring what it could look like to be together. For those who are single, reach out first instead of sitting pretty and waiting for others to approach you. You’ve got to change your dating style if you want to find ‘the one’.

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

Love isn’t just about expecting, Scorpio; it is about finding the balance between give and take and being selfless about it. After all, if your partner doesn’t boil your blood and also give you butterflies, are you even with the right person? It’s a steamy and wholesome month where you and your partner will get plenty of opportunities to show affection and indulge in some sweet talk. So, give in without expecting anything in return, Scorpio, because you don’t sting the ones you love, unless they act too cool to care. For people who are still looking to find the right match, you might have to try harder and wait a little longer. But remember, the longer you wait, the hotter you date.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Either make it work properly, or call it quits, Sagittarius. You can’t be hanging in the middle and putting endless strain on you and your partner. The new year brings a chance to begin afresh only if you both still like each other, have things in common, and aren’t together just because you’re comfortable. That is no reason because love should consume you, calm you, and allow you to feel appreciated and liberated. If this doesn’t sound familiar, take the tough call. But if it reminds you of a good time, give it another try, but this time, do things differently and not just for the sake of it. If you’re single, expect booty calls and date nights, but nothing worth committing to just yet.

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Dear Capricorn, it is your season, and the love horoscope for January 2026 is asking you to go the extra mile, show some effort, and not stick to your usual course. Sometimes, you can take things up a notch through your gestures and words and now is the time to show your partner what they’re dealing with. Stop overthinking things and find new ways to express your feelings to your partner. It’s okay to act a little silly in love and not worry about what people think. You do you, and you do your partner; everyone else can mind their business, okay? If you’re single, expect to find someone equally smooth, magnetic, and witty as you. Just don’t be stumped and let it flow.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

This is a good month to tone down the opinions and ideas of others and focus on what you and your partner want. It is easy to get influenced, Aquarius, so get back into your bubble and be unbothered by what people have to say. Communication and intimacy are peaking this month, and if you both are on the same page, things could work out beautifully for you and your partner. Just negotiate any terms and conditions so you both win, and no one has to ‘adjust’ too much. For those who are single, your social life might make you bump into someone who is the exact opposite. Approach them and see if any fireworks are happening.

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Over the past few years, your partner might have communicated some changes, ideas, and routines that could be incorporated to make things work smoothly. The love horoscope for January 2026 asks you to embrace them and incorporate them to lead things the right way. We are all flawed, Pisces, but to learn from them and to work to make a better future is what really makes us stand apart. So, this month, talk, understand, and allow yourself and your partner to grow and go through life together. Your partnership is becoming stronger; just learn to listen to understand, not argue. For those who are single, you may need to stop repeating your old patterns to find someone new.
