ARIES

Mar 20-Apr 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

The Sun is in an air sign for Valentine’s Day, just in time to bring back the independence you crave. You can be in love, you can book a table (or fill one of your own), but you also know who you are on your own. Partnership takes on a whole new meaning, with preferences and perspective being aspects that empower. Being action-oriented, you’re about to leap into a wellspring that expands your creative reach.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 19

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

The Moon is in Venus-ruled Taurus for Valentine’s Day. It’s even on a Sunday, so you may find time to cuddle up after all. Don’t let the detachment of the air sign Sun put you off. It’s always nice to have space and breathing room, even in the midst of entwined hearts and Celtic love knots. Energies are still intense, so watch yourself walking up and down stairs or crossing streets.

GEMINI

May 20-Jun 20

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣

This is a week to enjoy doing things your way. Dark Moon Lilith in your sector of romance is all about expressing your secret side, or doing something that lights up your creative spark. The Sun is in an expansive aspect to your sign on Valentine’s Day. Taking a short—or even better, long!—trip is definitely an avenue to enjoy. Friends can help you get ready on Friday to speed up your travel connections!

CANCER

Jun 21-Jul 21

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Valentine’s Day is a special day for you, whether you’re in a relationship or not! It’s a time to treat yourself with tenderness, in addition to the one who holds your heart! Make sure there’s a bubble bath in your future, or a hot chocolate to keep you happily content. While you’re at it, consider the magical properties of homemade soup, warm bread, and the night stars to keep yourself blissfully cuddled up.

LEO

Jul 22-Aug 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

The charisma and fire of a Leo is especially felt this week. Mercury, the messenger, moves into your house of romance on Saturday, making oh so clear any messages you’d like to share. Then on Valentine’s Day, the Sun amplifies your thoughts, words, and deeds, reflecting and warming the powerful beat of your heart. Expect to attract attention, whether you’re sporting a long lion’s mane, or not!  

VIRGO

Aug 22-Sep 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Virgos generally figure they’re all about service because that’s where your rewards can be found. Since you often go to the nth degree to be there for others, make sure your schedule includes a little “me time” this week. An earth sign, you do well with tactile therapies: massage, time spent walking and hiking, meals that warm the soul. Valentine’s Day then becomes well worth your while, and your heart!

LIBRA

Sep 22-Oct 22

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Mars is well out of your sign, cruising through the last degrees of Scorpio. This places it in your solar second house of income. Streaming expenses may be near the top of your list, but never fear! You’re about to receive a new line of ideas and enthusiasm to beautify your life. Remember that Sunday is Valentine’s Day, and Libra is ruled by Venus! Treat yourself to a simple but lovely heartfelt afternoon.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

As Mars makes himself felt in the last degrees of your sign, your instincts are telling you to leap to the next level! With the dedication you’ve recently shown, you know precisely what to include, and what to cut away. Valentine’s Day has a degree of detachment. You do care, but are aware your time has value, knowing that money is just around the corner when it comes to work. Love, on the other hand, is chasing you.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 20

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣

Let’s face it, Sagittarians have had a few surprises, even in the first few weeks of 2016. Set aside your differences and think what would make for a happy Valentine’s Day. If you’re single, you might choose a day at the spa, or at least a luscious hot chocolate at your favorite eatery. If you’re one half of two, let yourself be swept away and don’t worry about being practical, at least for a day or two this week!

CAPRICORN

Dec 21-Jan 19

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Although Capricorn is a practical sign, when you choose to go hearts and flowers, you go all the way. The Moon is in a lustrous position for Valentine’s Day. If you’re on your own, indulge in a classic Sunday to remind yourself of your true value. If you’re in a relationship, you may want to blend relaxation with sensual indulgence, which includes massage, hot stone therapy, or a dinner that satisfies all your senses!

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 17

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Well, dear Aquarius, Valentine’s Day is Sunday. How do you feel about that? Do you think it has become merely a time to buy a card and pop it in the mail? Or that there’s no time for that, and e-cards will suffice? The Sun in your sign not only means you’re in your Happy Birthday zone, it means you’ve got the green light for this special day of romance. Will you participate, or hold back for more? Stop texting; start dancing.

PISCES

Feb 18-Mar 19

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Romantic you merges with Valentine’s Day magic. If you think a hard line is the answer, leaping from rows of hearts and flowers this Sunday, you’re still likely to melt into sweetness. There’s more than just  shiny red foil and chocolate to celebrate this day. Relationship moving backwards? If so, keep your focus on your goals as they’re likely to turn around and follow you into your future this week.
