Aquarius Love Horoscope 2023

When it comes to Aquarius' love life, we always turn to the Sun for some answers. This is because the radiant one is the astrological planet responsible for your 7th house of relationships. But if we stop there, the picture isn't thoroughly made yet. This is mainly because Saturn has been transiting through your 1st house since late 2020.

The Saturn transit can be excellent for your self-development, teaching you how to establish boundaries and get further clarity on your standards. And because Saturn is the ruler of Aquarius, this transit has the potential to spill into every other area of your life—especially if your ascendant is in Aquarius.

Now, one thing has to be mentioned about this. Because this 2.5 year-long transit was in your 1st house, it, of course, means that it would oppose your 7th house of relationships. This factor is always bound to generate some trouble in the love sphere since Saturn is known to make your already high Aquarian standards even higher.

For those who are already coupled, this is sure to create some misunderstandings from time to time. While, this can make everyone simply not feel good enough for you for those who are single.

The good news is that this year Saturn moves to your 2nd house, which is said to be aversed to the 7th, meaning that Saturn is likely to play a very insignificant role in love matters for the next 2.5 years. This means that it's time to loosen up and address which of those demands were constructive and which were simply a defence mechanism put into place to avoid severe commitment or other issues.

To keep up with the theme of loosening up and readdressing the way you navigate your love life, we also have the Venus retrograde happening in your 7th house this year. This transit is bound to be felt by most of you, but it's especially noteworthy if you are 18, 30, 42, 54 or 66.

Because of the famous Mercury retrogrades, all retrogrades seem to have a bit of a bad rap. But truth be told, these are not entirely "bad" periods. Whenever a planet is retrograde, it means that they're as close as they can be to earth, simply meaning that the topics attributed to them get a bit of an extra focus. Sometimes that can be overwhelming, but it's almost always necessary.

With the Venus retrograde, the thing to do will be to pay more attention to what your partner's needs are. And if you're single, you want to work on doing a lot more listening and service than expecting to be listened to and be served— but of course, this doesn't mean you have to lower your standards. The key takeaway from this is that you must make the other person feel like a king/queen in your life.

Aquarius is not necessarily known for being the most outwardly emotive and communicative sign when it comes to love matters, so this transit can be a little tricky for you. Still, if you're willing to roll with the punches and get out of your comfort zone for a little while, you won't regret it.

The Venus retrograde goes from the 22nd of July all the way to the 3rd of September. However, the whole Venus transit through your 7th house starts on the 6th of June and goes all the way to early October.

Use this time to accept a challenge and go the extra mile to guarantee your place in your beloved's heart.

With all that out of the way, 2023 has room for some positive romantic development, but it's not necessarily a walk in the park. You'll have to learn to do things in ways that you're not accustomed to. The more you resist it, the more challenging it will be. So take it a step at a time and open your heart for fresh romance.

Good luck, Aquarius!
