Aries
March 21 to April 20
Aries 2026 love life cards: Leo, Do The Groundwork, Stormy Weather
Meaning: If you’re single then look out for a fellow fiery Leo character in 2026, an equal in terms of boldness, passion and lusty loving. They more than keep you occupied! A tinge of this regal, proud, ambitious Leo energy infects your own love language too, and you want to show off your other half and your beautiful bond, tell the world how proud you are.
Do the groundwork, set the right foundations, talk about practical stuff and how your realms and lives and families and homes align and come together to build something for you both that works.
There may be some stormy weather as a result. You are both strong characters and have your own ideas, so the real trick to success here is learning to compromise, share, resolve, and sacrifice in order to be together fully. Give and take. Mutual understanding.

April 21 to May 21
Taurus 2026 love life cards: The Free Spirit, Pause and Reflect, A Tended Garden
Meaning: You are with, or going to meet, a free spirit. And this is a challenge for your steadfast, possessive, and certainty-craving nature. But maybe it’s the awakening of your own free spirit too! No one owes us any guarantees in love. And it’s better to enjoy the present, be there fully instead of worrying about the past or future.
It makes you pause and reflect. It makes you step outside of the present and relive some of the highlights (and lowlights) of your past. You are provoked by this person and keen to learn how you both see things so differently.
Strangely, bizarrely, happily, you come together to create a lovely ‘tended garden’ in terms of your relationship. You spend so much time trying to understand each other that, lo and behold, you really do – and the urge to change them, and vice versa, simply fades altogether. You discover you can be very happy with someone who is very different.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Gemini 2026 love life cards: Virgo, Align Future Goals, Burning Passion
Meaning: A Virgo, or Virgo-like person, is on the cards for you – clever, cautious, practical, organised, and a soothing balm to your more chaotic nature. They ground you. And you inspire them.
It’s like a teamwork vibe and it makes you both happy. So much so that you quickly start to align your future goals. You sense they have the practical nouse and shrewd, worldly understanding to help make your more outlandish ideas really fly, and they just love solving a ‘mission impossible’ – together you can make a power couple and a beautiful life.
Burning passion is the reward. When Gemini and Virgo enjoy each other’s cleverness and mind, the physical stuff swiftly follows! You fall in love cerebrally, but this ignites a burning lust that is set to last… as long as you keep talking and bigging each other up as you have been.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Cancer 2026 love life cards: Gemini, Take The Crown, Home
Meaning: A Gemini, or Gemini-type character, is on the cards for you in 2026, so look out for someone who is sparky, clever, fast-moving and hard to pin down (which sounds like your nightmare, in some ways).
Or, if already in love, then think about being more ‘unavailable’ in a way yourself, just getting a little more distance and space, letting them miss you sometimes. You are trying to see who takes the crown, who really wants ownership of making things work and puts the effort in, is willing to admit mistakes and make changes. This is the real sign of commitment – working to make things as great as they can be. Anything less is just coasting, taking things for granted… and you’re done with that.
Home is the reward. Making a home in – and with – another person, that’s what you want. To feel safe, secure, cosy, loved, and comfortable, like you can be fully yourself whatever the mood. When you’ve both done the ‘work’ to be your best selves and work as a team, you then get to relax in that sanctuary, that love bubble, you’ve both made and sustained. Bliss.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Leo 2026 love life cards: Aries, Don’t Drink the Poison, Power Couple
Meaning: Your love life is looking to be on point in 2026! An Aries person or mood emerges in your realm, so it’s about bold, direct, passionate, lusty, and ambitious love. No games or pretend courtships. No fancy gestures or whimsical flirtations. This is full on and head on from the start, fire meets fire. If you’re already attached, then expect a rekindling of passion and desire, a meeting of equals physically.
Don’t drink the poison, because other folk might be jealous of what you have, and they might start trying to filter in doubts or observations designed to undermine you both. Turn away from bad influences, jealous folk, or unhealthy comparisons. Focus on the two of you. Also remember that you’re both high energy and that can lead to poison within, such as jealousy and competitiveness… if you spot it, nip it in the bud.
Power couple is the outcome, your era of living it up with someone on your arm who matches your glamour, warmth, and outlook. The sky is the limit when you’re together.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Virgo 2026 love life cards: Scorpio, Align Future Goals, Temptation
Meaning: A Scorpio mood hovers over your love life this year ahead – dangerous, mysterious, passionate, powerful, and undeniable. You are fully awake and alert to your needs and cravings in love and romance. A Scorpio lover might be the result of this yearning, or a more lustful and intense relationship dynamic.
It’s important you and your other half are on the same page here. Keep them with you. Don’t turn your desires into fantasies or daydreams, share your thoughts and ideas and give them space to respond. Together, you can reinvent what your relationship is like, for the better, for a more intimate and intense bond.
Temptation will be a theme. Good and bad. When you’re awakened in this way, you notice other folk too and other ways of fulfilling your desires. Maybe this will lead you in a new direction… maybe it will reaffirm what you already have. Be openminded, but also be conscious of what you’re doing and the consequences.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Libra 2026 love life cards: Free Spirit, Pursue Passion, A Fun Fling
Meaning: Free spirited people attract you in 2026. It is a ‘1’ year in numerology, The Magician in the tarot, and the horse in the Chinese zodiac – all about new beginnings and powerful thrusting, forward momentum, so you’re drawn to folk who will take you out of your comfort zone and into new territory.
Pursuing passion is the theme, in terms of romance and interests and purpose. This opens up your whole world to new faces and dynamics and energies, and you absolutely love it. You are charming and welcoming so people flock to get to know you anyway, but 2026 takes it a whole new level. You will be in demand, from romantic options to friendships, alliances and collaborations.
A fun fling or two is on the cards if you want it, so too are many friendships that serve a truly powerful purpose but aren’t built to last. Not everyone entering your life in 2026 will stay, but that’s okay, they’re not meant to and you’re already so inundated with offers and options that you don’t mind the free-flowing nature of your relationship realm right now. Enjoy your popularity, make it work for you.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Scorpio 2026 love life cards: Capricorn, Take The Crown, Solitude
Meaning: Practical measures are the hallmark of your 2026 relationship homework and success. You are noticing the ways in which you encounter issues or distance or conflict, and noticing your own role in creating that (which is something you can take action on).
Look out for stoic Capricorns if you’re single, a dark horse who intrigues you and is as strong-minded and fierce as you are. Make this mirror image person makes you think more about yourself in relationships. Taking the crown means to take responsibility. Not to excuse or blame others, but to observe and resolve the ways you bring negativity or chaos to the table. We are all emotional and irrational in love. We all master our own downfalls. Look back and see the patterns and use that insight for good.
Solitude is your 2026 outcome. Please don’t take that as feeling lonely or even being single. It’s more about becoming comfortable in your own company and presence, which means less pressure on your bonds, and therefore they can unfurl to their own natural potential instead of what you force. This is a learning curve year in love.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Sagittarius 2026 love life cards: The Ex, Don’t Drink The Poison, Fading Feelings
Meaning: An ex will re-enter your life, or memories of them, and turn things upside down a bit. Maybe this is ‘the one who got away’. Maybe it’s something you feel you dodged a bullet with! Either way, their echo makes you rethink your past and what you withstood or dealt out yourself.
Don’t drink the poison here. Don’t retread old, negative, painful ground. Look at the past with new eyes, a compassionate heart, mercy and patience. You were doing your best. I heard recently that most folk aren’t giving you a hard time, they are having a hard time, and that can change how you see or understand people and situations.
Ultimately, your ex is not here to stay or reignite. Their memory or presence is to serve up a new insight that you can use to build the relationship you truly want to occupy. There’s a life lesson or self empowerment moment you missed… go back and find it, and use it. The best is all yet to come.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Capricorn 2026 love life cards: Aquarius, Serve The Relationship, A Fun Fling
Meaning: Looking for love? Then an Aquarius (your zodiac neighbour) is on the cards, and ready to reinvent your perspective on love. Already attached? Then an Aquarius mindset will enter the frame and turn things upside down, in a good way.
Aquarius is an eccentric, unique mind, inventor and progressive. You realise that to serve your relationship you both need independence and your own adventures and life story too. Not only to have something to talk about, but your own space to grow in, and reasons to remain engaged with and intrigued by (and therefore attracted to) each other.
A fun fling or two may ensue if you’re playing the field, as you experiment with who you really are and what you really want. If you’re attached then there will just be a more light touch in your relationship realm, less pressure, more fun, more independence which in turn increases the intimacy and attraction. You realise, in the end, that less can be more. And this is a relief, as you are ready to be different in love.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Aquarius 2026 love life cards: The Soul Mate, Open the Book, Intimate and Independent
Meaning: The most beautiful relationship lies in store for you in 2026, Aquarius, a true soul mate connection, potentially the love of your life! The key to this new world, whether you’re single or attached already, is to open the book of your partner’s life story and character and read as much as you can, whilst sharing your own story and true nature.
See them as a subject to study. Seek to understand. This isn’t about being intrusive or analytical, but open to their honesty and personality without seeking to change or control. It’s a beautiful dynamic and will reveal a beautiful new relationship future.
Intimate and independent is the goal here. Being fully together and aligned but also free to live your own wonderful lives and grow as people. This is your dream as you yearn for freedom and solitude, you need someone who can trust you in that way, and that means opening up to them too. This year, you find that balance.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Pisces 2026 love life cards: Libra, Pursue Passion, Solitude
Meaning: Someone is going to help you learn how to be feel much more comfortable and at peace in your own skin, alone, in your own company. And it’s a gift, no matter how it’s delivered.
It’s likely that you will meet a Libra or find their kind of dynamics occurring more in your relationship – sensual connection but also a feeling of not having full ‘ownership’ of your other half. Desire but also distance. Hot and cold vibes. You want to pursue passion, pin it down, label it, make this person yours. But somehow that doesn’t unfold and you’re left wondering how to handle it.
Be at peace with yourself, don’t pin your happiness on the presence of another. If someone does you wrong, then gift them your absence, total absence. Don’t chase, message, ask, cajole. Remove your precious heart from places it meets distance, and find your own self love and care. Perversely, this will lead you back to love. While the road might feel hard at times, if you’re brave and stick to the course, the results will be worth it.
