Happy Love Day, Lovers.

Valentine’s Day this year falls on a day that the Moon is lurking in Scorpio. Ruled by the intense and mysterious planet of Pluto, Scorpio brings intimacy, depth, and curiosity to love.

Cupid is also matched by the energy of Romance Goddess Venus in Aries, who is also the planet of love and relationship. In relationships, Venus in Aries symbolizes passion, confidence, and initiation.

Combined with the free-spirited energy of Mars (the planet of action and willpower) in Sagittarius, Valentine’s Day is hot and spicy this year. We are more likely to pursue matters of the heart and make the first move.

Even though fire is present in the skies, considerations for the needs of others will be taken to the extreme this year with Mercury pre-retrograde in Pisces.

Romantic gestures should be sentimental and personalized to the interests of your partners. If you want to go big, it should feel natural and organic — nothing should come across forced. 

The Moon in Scorpio is private and secretive. It enjoys rich foods, sensual massages, and intense foreplay. 

If you're open, try using lubes or edible oils like coconut, avocado, or apricot. Scorpio likes it deep and wet. 

Take your time and enjoy one another this weekend. Be expressive about what you like because Scorpio is turned on by attention. Make eye contact as much as possible. If you are brave, lock eyes when your affectionate — next level!! 

Couples who are into fantasy and role play will enjoy the boost of creativity from Mercury in Pisces. Ladies, this is an excellent time to pull out the lingerie and makeup. Fellas, make sure you wear your cologne.

If possible, you should make it a long Valentine’s Day Weekend. The Moon in Scorpio and Sagittarius calls for some R&R (rest and relaxation).

Valentine’s Day Tips for the Signs:

Aries:

Valentine's Day can be a mixed bag of emotions for you with Mercury hanging out in your ending sector. Venus in your sign encourages you to get out and make the best of it. With Mars in Sagittarius in your adventure sector, you should do something active. You should do something that will break up your thoughts, and get you out of your head. Uranus in your house of value encourages you not to do what you usually do this year; you should do something different. Your partner may go big or surprise you with something out of the ordinary.

Taurus:

With Uranus and the Scorpio Moon at odds in your relationship sector, you could be having a stressful Valentine's day. To add more fuel to the fire, Venus is in your ending sector. You and your partner could be displaced; you could be physically, emotionally, or spiritually separated. This brings deep feelings of desperation and loss. With Mars in your house of intimacy, it’s best if you spend this year with loved ones only; the people you feel 100% safe with. If you are willing to open your heart, this Valentine’s Day can be insanely healing for you and your relationships.

Gemini:

With Venus highlighting your friendships and associations, you will most likely spend Valentine’s day with friends or going out in a group setting. Mars in your relationship sector inspires you to be more outgoing and adventurous. Your V-Day plans should incorporate hands-on learning activities like cooking, baking, crafting, etc. If possible, take a class with your sweetheart or put on a “make pretend” workshop at home -- anything to get your creative juices flowing. The energy is in your favor to travel, but unexpected issues at work may interfere.

Cancer:

Love is money for you this year, and you expect all the stops. Cancers will enjoy a fancy night on the town, or dinner at an upscale restaurant. With Venus currently in your career and public image sector, you need to feel important and be the center of your date’s (and the world’s) attention. Single Cancers may pull out all the stops and pamper themselves. You could enjoy a romantic evening at home, or you may choose to invest in yourself by purchasing new stock or allocating resources to your business. Mars in Sagittarius highlighting your health and wellness encourages you to be more open-minded about how love and joy are expressed in your life.

Leo:

You should get out of your comfort zone and make the first move for Valentine’s Day this year. With Venus in Aries in your exploration and adventure sector, you aren’t interested in ordinary love. You want passion, purpose, and romance all intertwined into one. The only downside to this is that you are more impulsive, so plans literally may come together at the last minute. If this happens, go with the flow -- don’t let tradition and expectation rain on your spontaneity parade. With Mercury lurking in your intimacy and privacy sector, it’s nice if you put your thoughts out in a creative way. Writing your partner a love song, poem, or simple heartfelt letter is all it takes.

Virgo:

Venus hanging out in your privacy and intimacy sector all month long brings intense feelings up for V-Day. This energy is doubled with the Moon in Scorpio all weekend. For some, Valentine's Day triggers your desire for more personal freedom and self-confidence. You could be putting on a private show for your lover. With Mars in Sagittarius highlighting your home sector, getting more sleep is the best gift for you. If you’ve been on the go for the past couple of weeks, use this energy to rest and relax. Romance can happen at home.

Libra:

Valentine's day this year is different for you, this year you are more aware of what a relationship means to you, and how you deserve and desire to be loved. This is because Venus has been busy all week bringing healing and renewal to your relationship with self. With Mars in Sagittarius highlighting your communication sector, you enjoy dramatic expressions of love and affection. Be very intentional with your body language and communication. Use romance to tell your love story. The Moon in Scorpio makes you friskier and bolder than usual -- put it all out there.

Scorpio:

Venus in Aries highlighting your health and wellness sector encourages you to take care of one another by taking care of yourselves. Mental stimulation is exaggerated on Valentine's day, so spend time engaging in sensual conversation over candles and red wine. Mars in Sagittarius illuminates your spending sector, so this could lead to spontaneous and expensive gifts. With the Moon orbiting your sign on V-Day, this is a very energetic time for you. Mercury may be causing issues in your romance sector. Your partner may be acting more childish or passionate than usual. Be careful what you wish for!

Sagittarius:

This may be the first year that you put some thought into Valentine’s Day. With the waning Scorpio Moon in your ending sector, you could be more reflective and introverted than usual. For some, Valentine’s day may be painful. Mercury pre-retrograde in your home and family sector indicates a loss or transition; you could be permanently or temporarily separated from someone you love. On the bright side, Venus in Aries brings you a potential fresh start. You may be entering a new phase or level in a relationship. This year you should do something new and refreshing. Aries encourages you to go all out, show them what’s possible when you truly care.

Capricorn:

Valentine’s day for you can be a little emotional. Venus in Aries is stirring up the passion in your home and sacred environment. For some, this may be the first year in a while that you have space and time to cater to your relationship. With the Scorpio Moon in your house of visions, you may be more open to new positions and fantasies. Take advantage of every opportunity to please. Mercury in your house of communication encourages you to be more sentimental and reflective with your words. Take your time when expressing your emotions. Let them feel you.

Aquarius:

Valentine’s day for you is an active one. Venus in Aries in your communication and networking sector encourages you to get out and go. If you are in a relationship, you may be expressing more of your emotions than usual. Singles will most likely make plans to do something fun and adventurous with close friends. With Mercury retrograde in your second house of upbringing, an old ex may contact you to talk about old times. This is most likely someone you had a steady relationship with.

Pisces:

Work and career demands may interfere with your Valentine’s day a little bit, but by the end of the day, things would have worked themselves out. You may be more anxious or self-conscious about your plans this year because you want to impress your love. The Scorpio Moon transiting your adventure and exploration sector encourages you to get out of your head and dive deep into love. Whether your single or matched, V-day is a day that you should look your best. With Mercury retrograde in your sign, pay more attention to your appearance. Others will salivate over your style.
