Cancer 2023 Love Horoscope

Because the Sun will always spend the last 10 days and the first three weeks of every year in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships as you move into any new year. You also begin the year with Venus, the planet of love in your relationship sector and as she will leave on 3rd January it is important to listen to your heart from the start, for once she is gone she won’t be back until 2024. The Sun will stay on until 20th January and while this will take the solar spotlight off your relationships Mercury, the planet of communication isn’t done yet. Having returned in early December 2022 for what is normally a 14 to 15 day visit, a retrograde turn has kept Mercury here and with it, support to keep the communication lines open.

Mercury begins the year in retrograde motion and until turning direct on 11th January is more focused on giving the past and unsaid words a voice. Until leaving on 11th February Mercury is giving the communication lines a massive boost in the first two months of the year and the timing couldn’t be better, for it is the following month that Pluto will leave. Pluto, the planet of change and revolution has been in your relationship sector since 2008, with his departure on 24th March leaving it empty for the first time in over 14 years. This is more a break, with Pluto retrograding back in on 11th June, though leaving again next January. This will give Mercury, who will return again on 2nd December and the Sun on 22nd December a chance to work with Pluto one last time.

A Full Moon in your relationship sector on 3rd July will be a chance to check in on how your relationships are going. Meanwhile, while the first planetary activity on the romantic front doesn’t begin until when Mars returns to your romantic sector for the first time in two years on 12th October, a romantically charged Full Moon on 6th March will give things a boost. As a lunar eclipse, this will have a lot more influence while Venus, the planet of love’s return to Cancer just two days later can keep the spirit of romance alive. Venus is making an early return this year and moving through from 8th May to 6th June she will have left weeks before your birthday month and new solar year even begins. This means Venus will be late returning to your romantic sector this year, keeping what Mars begins on 12th October fuelled right through to when she ends all planetary activity here on 30th December.
