When Venus and Mars align on January 7, we can expect an energy that’s equal parts charm and confidence. Venus brings love, while Mars adds action and courage to the cosmic mix.
Together, they make it a perfect time to go after what you want.
However, certain signs are going to feel this energy more than others, and they’re likely to benefit in big ways. Let’s take a closer look.
1. Aries
Aries, you feel right at home in this Venus-Mars alignment.
Since Mars is your ruling planet, it feels more personal. Plus, when it links with Venus in such a blessed way, you feel more confident and more appealing, which is a powerful combination.
You’re going to notice that people respond to you differently. You command respect. They respond more positively not just to your words and ideas—but to your presence, too.
There’s something about your energy now that inspires others, motivates them.
However, it’s important to channel some of that energy internally, too. After all, this alignment gives you the green light. Now’s the time to take action, even if it’s just a small step forward.
More so, this Venus and Mars alignment balances impulse with intention.
If you manage to tap into this energy, you can use it to become more aware of how your actions affect others, especially romantically.
You’ll be eager to prove something, but make sure you don’t overdo it. As always, you risk burning out when energies favor movement, so keep balance in mind before acting.
2. Leo
For you, Leo, this kind of energy feels both affirming and energizing.
Venus and Mars work together to boost your natural charisma, making it so much easier for you to be seen, appreciated, and, most importantly, taken seriously.
You’ll feel motivated to put effort into the things you care about.
You’ll be drawn to whatever lets your personality shine.
With this alignment, you act out of passion, not obligation, and this helps reconnect you (if you’ve been disconnected) with your creative spark, and electrifies it tenfold.
If you want to step into any leadership roles, now’s a good time. Do so with heart and confidence.
You’re less likely to doubt yourself or shrink back, and more likely to trust that your instincts are right—because they are.
There’s also a surreal sense of pride in doing things the right way because it aligns with your vision of who you want to become. And that makes this growth feel good—not forced.
3. Libra
Like Leo, you feel this alignment personally, Libra, since Venus is your ruling planet.
For you, this alignment is about self-care. It’s about noticing your own desires, honoring them.
As a result, you’ll probably feel a stronger urge to speak up. You’ll want to set clearer boundaries or ask for what you want without feeling guilty about it.
There’s a refreshing boldness available to you now, one that doesn’t sacrifice kindness, but adds backbone where it’s been missing.
This energy helps you take action toward goals you usually just think about.
While you’re vulnerable to waiting for the perfect moment, now you’re more willing to trust your judgment and move forward without hesitation. But it still takes a little boldness.
With the help of Venus and Mars, you’re learning that harmony doesn’t always mean compromise—sometimes it means honesty.
To make the most of it, do your best to allow desire and decisiveness to coexist. Do this, and life will feel more aligned rather than draining.
4. Scorpio
Scorpio, this Venus-Mars alignment on January 7 is here to empower you.
With Mars fueling your drive and Venus softening your approach, they make it easier to act.
You’ll feel more motivated to pursue something meaningful. You’re primed for purposeful movement, the kind that pushes you toward achieving what actually matters.
On top of that, Venus and Mars make you more persuasive and intuitive.
Without feeling heavy, conversations go deeper than usual. Somehow, expressing yourself comes naturally in ways that feel right and true.
You feel more vulnerable as a result—but in a way that is actually strategic, not weak.
This is your chance to step into your power with confidence, and to work in the shadows to better yourself without needing anyone’s approval.
5. Sagittarius
Sagittarius, you benefit from this cosmic alignment in more ways than one.
The energy here serves you in a beautiful way. It helps you commit. More so, it helps direct your energy more wisely so you end up scattering it.
You’re ready to invest not time, but affection and effort into the things you care about.
Right now, decisions won’t feel restrictive. They’ll feel perfectly rewarded instead.
And let’s not forget that Venus and Mars make you more expressive and playful. You’ll feel more drawn toward experiences that offer both growth and meaning—not just empty stimulation.
There’s something eye-opening about this alignment, and it’s the way it helps you understand that optimism and realism can coexist, and that they can make your actions impactful.
Harness this energy by truly believing in what you’re building. The rest will come easy.
6. Capricorn
Capricorn, even though Venus and Mars rule other zodiac signs, you feel this alignment the strongest because Venus and Mars meet in your sign.
This is a very powerful moment. Ambition and desire finally work together instead of pulling you in opposite directions.
You’re more confident than usual as a result, especially when it comes to asserting yourself.
Plus, you’re more aware of your worth, and that gives your sails a strong wind.
Due to this cosmic alignment, you’re more likely to take action that aligns with your truest desires—but it still takes stepping forward.
Just know that this energy protects you and does all it can to guarantee positive outcomes.
Things might still feel risky, especially when it comes to love, but your motivation is fueled by purpose now—not fear.
To make the most of this, allow yourself to enjoy pleasure while still striving forward and honoring your ambition.
For you, success now feels perfectly achievable because it is achievable.
