The light-giving Sun and Venus, planet of relationships, come together in Sagittarius from Dec 29th, 2025, to January 12th, 2026.

These two planetary enemies have a powerful effect on each other while they move closely together through Purva and Uttara Ashadha. You are friendly and outgoing, are open to new company, and may receive more than one invitation, which you are happy to accept. Be mindful of identifying so heavily with sharing and compromise that you lose the balance between your relationship and your outside work and business.

This is actually a time to assert your romantic needs, and not to accept peace at any price. You may also be slightly on the defensive around a big personality in your circle, and a romantic scenario becomes all-consuming, as you overthink the situation. Sun and Venus also come together with Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius at this time, and there are many competing factors at work in your relationship. You are diplomatic, but impulsive, and your social skills may be useful to defuse a tense situation, either in your social life or in business.

Romantic interest arising unexpectedly from the outside is flattering to the ego, but be careful of a reaction from your partner. This conjunction is fiery and forward-looking, however, and does not waste time brooding on the past, so you can also take the chance to forgive and forget. Channelling your energy into creativity produces excellent artwork and is also a kind of therapy, which connects you with your deeper self and relieves tension.
