Cancer 2026 Love Horoscope

While it is a given that the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of January in your relationship sector, with the solar spotlight always on your relationships moving into the New Year, there is a lot more company this time. The Sun will always return to your relationship sector on the December solstice, this time to find that Mars had returned a week earlier, while Venus, the planet of love, returned on Christmas Day and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships, returned for the first time in four years on 30th December. This is the team you begin the year with, while held back slightly by a retrograde phase as Mercury, the planet of communication, returns on 2nd January.

This sets the year off to a powerful start on the relationship front, but by the end of January the only planet still here will be Juno, who has her own agenda. With Venus leaving on 18th January, the Sun on 20th January, Mercury on 21st January and Mars on 23rd January, this active start to the year on the relationship front is short lived, making it all the more important to make it count.

This should end all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year until the Sun returns again on 22nd December and Mercury on 26th December, with both ending the year here. Instead, Juno will not only stay on until 29th March, but a retrograde turn will see her return again from 12th August to 24th October. Whatever you commit to in the early weeks of the year, Juno will help you stick to it.

Meanwhile, it will be Venus, the planet of love, who begins the first planetary activity on the romantic front for the year, with her return to your romantic sector from 10th September to 25th October. Despite leaving, Venus will also end the year here, promising something special in the final months of 2026.

As always, the Sun will move through from 23rd October to 22nd November, while Mercury will return for what would normally be a 14 to 15 day mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page on 1st October. Instead, a retrograde turn means Mercury will not leave until 6th December, while another retrograde turn will see Venus return for a do over and a second chance to work her magic from 4th December 2026 to 7th January 2027.
