January 2027 Astrology Overview
The first week of January is a bit quiet. But once Venus enters Sagittarius on the 7th, restlessness sets in!
- January 7: Venus enters Sagittarius. The first week of January is a bit quiet. Once Venus enters Sagittarius, restlessness sets in. You might feel a desire to get out of the house, socialize, or travel. Romantic adventures call—if you can find time to go away and play, winter will seem much shorter. During this transit, which lasts until February 3, relationships require a little breathing room. Give each other space and watch your hearts grow closer.
