An astrologer has identified six dates in 2026 that are the luckiest to find love – and there’s one glaring omission. When it comes to love, a little bit of luck can go a long way. Whether you’re getting down on one knee, taking the next step in your relationship or plucking up the courage to ask someone out for the first time, being a romantic can, at times, be daunting.
Step forward leading astrologer and celebrity psychic Inbaal Honigman. She has revealed the luckiest days in love for 2026 for those looking for romance and none of them including February 14 – aka Valentine’s Day.
She said: “2026 boasts many romantic days, and a few entire ‘lucky in love’ periods. Venus, planet of love, is in Pisces between 10 February and 6 March for example, making it a wonderful time to schedule dates, holidays or even weddings…”
Take a look at the dates Inbaal has picked out below.
February 18, 2026
Inbaal explains: “The first day of the romantic Pisces season happens just a day after the Solar eclipse. On this date, the moon is also in romantic Pisces, creating an ideal day for declarations of love. Mercury, planet of communication, as well as Venus, planet of love and beauty are in the fishy sign on that date, also. It’s a day for love and for dreams coming true.”
March 10, 2026
The astrologer claims Jupiter, the planet of luck, has “been in the kind and loving sign of Cancer for several months”. However, since November 11, it “has gone through a retrograde since 11 November”. She added: “On this date, the planet goes direct again, so any mishaps and delays, especially around wealth and luck, will be resolved now. Forget Valentine’s Day, if you wanted to buy something special or book a fancy retreat for your loved one, now is your chance.
May 16, 2026
Inbaal claims: “Both the Sun and the Moon are in the stable, loving sign of Taurus on this day, which is also the Taurus new moon. Mercury, planet of communication is in Taurus as well, which fits well as Taurus is such a witty sign. Taurus is warm and indoorsy, so this is a great time for a couples’ adventure involving a top notch restaurant or a stately home.”
August 28, 2026
“The full moon in the romantic sign of Pisces, also happens to be a Lunar eclipse,” Inbaal says. “Eclipses are the astrological opportunity for a reset. As it is already Virgo season, then this lucky-in-love moment will be sensible and reasonable, as befitting the sign of the Virgin. This is a time for big gestures, such as a proposal, or asking someone to move in with you.
December 4, 2026
The celebrity psychic continues: “Libra is a graceful and elegant sign that champions the balance between lovers. The ruling planet of Libra is Venus, planet of love and beauty. When Venus is in Libra, these are good times for relationships. During 2026, Venus spends a long time in Libra, and 4 December is one of the final days for this dreamy period. On that day, the moon is in Libra too, making it the perfect date for a gorgeous, quiet, elegant getaway.”
December 26, 2026
Inbaal says Boxing Day is the final date in the 2026 calendar that is lucky for love. She says: “Relationships aren’t just about intimacy, they’re also about communication, making plans together, and agreeing on things. On this date, Mercury planet of communication enters the businesslike sign of Capricorn, making this the ideal day to plan life together. Book that holiday, schedule that home viewing, design your wedding invitations.
Inbaal was speaking in conjunction with with Slingo’s AR Rooftop Chase.
