Valentine's Day Horoscopes

What's destined for you on this day of romance?

by Jeff Jawer

Emotions can be in conflict this Valentine's Day as the Moon in intimate Scorpio makes us want to draw closer to our partner and erase the boundaries that separate us. This can be deliciously intense, providing a deep sense of connection. However loving Venus is in independent Aries, a signal that warns against the smothering force of fusion that blurs identities and turns two into one. It's important to be able to shift gears quickly to stay comfortable and to put your partner at ease. If either of you seems to be pushing away to gain some space, it's not a signal of a relationship gone wrong, but of the contrasting needs of intimacy and independence in effect right now.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
This can be a spicy Valentine's Day since loving Venus, the planet of attraction, is in your sign. This adds excitement and stimulation, increasing your desire for adventure and new experiences. It's not the time to settle into a predictable routine where comfort and familiarity rule. Instead, you're likely to be happier exploring a new place or activity to revive the freshness of a new love. A clingy partner might get under your skin since you need some breathing room today. It isn't your time for cuddling since you will probably be happier with a short, intense encounter than a slow lingering one.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Passion should be strong now with the steamy Scorpio Moon warming up your 7th House of Relationships. However, as much as you like to be close, you could feel your partner is holding on too tightly. That's because your ruling planet Venus is in the singularity sign of Aries, where it turns your thoughts toward independence. If your significant other is needy now, you're more likely to push him or her away than welcome a deeper connection. A little passionate physical romp can be just what you want, as long as you still have some free time for yourself.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
You may have to work harder than usual to create a romantic atmosphere today. The Moon is in your 6th House of Service, which usually indicates that you'll have to give more than you get. Still, showing your willingness to put your partner's needs before your own can pay off in the future. Thinking about long-term rewards rather than short-term pleasure is a smarter way to go now. If the person you're with is in a less than ideal mood, don't take it too personally. Intimacy doesn't necessarily arrive on schedule so it's better to have a good time being friendly than to force romance when it's not ready.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
The Moon in emotionally intense Scorpio is in your 5th House of Romance to stir powerful romantic feelings. Your desires can be very strong, perhaps even overwhelming your partner. Still, your intensity can drive you to do whatever you must to celebrate your relationship, no matter what the cost. But it's not a fancy meal or an expensive gift that really counts -- simply giving attention to your loved one and being open to receive some in return is what's needed to deepen your connection. Sharing a secret desire is one way to show your heart, even if it feels a little risky to be so honest.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
You could be more interested in being playful than getting serious today, yet that may not be how things work out. The Moon is scuttling through the bottom of your chart, stirring up issues of discontent that will color your mood a shade darker. You may go out with your partner and a group of people, be able to laugh at one moment but then turn strangely moody the next. Honesty and depth of emotion are more important now than putting on a good show. You don't have to be an entertainer to make your lover happy -- the simple truth in your heart is the greatest gift you have to offer.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
It's possible that you'll think that everyone else is having a jolly time of it now while you're missing out on all the fun. That's because it can be hard for you to ignore the realities of daily life to take time out to celebrate love. You may have to pump yourself up to get in the mood, but it can be good for you to take a break from your concerns about serious issues that are not likely to disappear over night. Push through any doubts or fears you have about the future to enjoy the pleasures you can find in the present.
