Aries
March 21 to April 20
Aries Valentine’s love life cards: Cancer, Say Goodbye, Spiritual Connection
Meaning: Cancerian energy flows around you this Valentines, so you could be falling in love with the zodiac’s crab (its greatest lover, no less) or maybe you yourself are feeling ultra passionate, romantic, nurturing and needy for true love and connection, but also maybe a little shy of making a (wrong) move. The crab scuttles sideways. Never head on or directly towards its goal.
The action for you is to say goodbye to something, someone, a place, a habit, a love language that has been outgrown, an old wound, a festering dalliance that stops others getting through to you. If you want true intimacy then you need to be fully open, too.
The upshot or prize of this shift and vulnerability is a spiritual connect, one that transcends lust and love, and becomes more like a twin flame or soul mate bond. Happy ever after awaits.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Taurus Valentine’s love life cards: The Ex, Pause and Reflect, Spiritual Connection
Meaning: Valentine’s always bring out the exes, right? Every year the same parade… whether it be them coming for you – and why wouldn’t they, you’re Venus’s child, impossible to forget – or you ruminating on the Ghosts of Valentine’s Past.
Pause and reflect, Taurus. Not necessarily to reignite any embers of passion (although should that appear to the trajectory then be open to seeing what happens) but to extract lessons and observations about what you’ve learned, changed, and realised about relationship patterns, needs, desires and pitfalls.
Coming to terms with your past story, in whatever way makes sense or unfolds this Valentine’s, is going to lead you right into a deep spiritual connection with someone (current, new, or from the past) because your self awareness is alight and attracting folk with similar levels of wisdom and insight. A meeting of minds – and the rest.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Gemini Valentine’s love life cards: Aries, Open The Book, Intimate and Independent
Meaning: Aries and Gemini is a dangerous, exciting, high octane combo – fire meets air, combustible, unpredictable, but always a fun ride. Ready for it? Of course, the Aries card may emerge as that is just your mood this Valentine’s. You don’t want dinner, you want to skydive!
Either way, the key step you must take is to open the book, speak openly, communicate, look again at someone and go deeper into their psyche. Everyone is a puzzle to you, but sometimes you’re too fast to discount a quiet soul, or guarded character. Go back and ask more. With your partner, be patient, and tease out new learnings about them and their needs.
The goal for you, and it can be achieved this Valentine’s, is an intimate but also independent connection. A partner who loves you and cares deeply and will be side by side with you… but who also lets you roam free, have oodles of space, and doesn’t crowd you. Put adventure at the heart of your love life and communicate well – and this is all possible!

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Cancer Valentine’s love life cards: Virgo, Unlock New Insight, Uncharted Territory
Meaning: I feel like your love life has Escape Room vibes this Valentine’s, not in terms of making you feel trapped, but like you’re ready to solve puzzles and riddles, answer questions, unlock new pathways and openings, and reach a new prize or outcome. The Virgo need-to-know gene is active right now. You want practical actions to follow your insights. You’re tired of the same old thing.
Unlocking new insight is the key. Make this the season of questions! Explore new topics and areas, examine your past, get friends to give feedback, ask strange questions of your partner or BFF or object of flirtation. Get new intel to chew over.
You are moving into uncharted territory now, Cancer. This is good news. Your crab shell comfort zone has gotten to predictable and cloistered and you want new experiences and emotions, fresh faces and feelings, different dates and shared experiences. Shake it all up!

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Leo Valentine’s love life cards: Leo, Trust Your Heart, A Fun Fling
Meaning: Leo on Leo vibes await you! Wow, that could get very spicy indeed, or competitive, or hell on Earth… remains to be seen! What it does mean though, is that you are ready to get your glow on, perform, ignite the attraction beacon and draw new attention your way. And you deserve it!
Whether that’s from a new suitor or your current partner, expect more attention this Valentine’s. And maybe the end game is not to get married or add more complexity or commitment to your life right now, maybe it’s to have fun, play the field, socialise, and go on dates with different people to new places with an open-minded outlook. Even if you’re attached, you can have a fun fling with your partner – a dirty weekend, a role play as strangers in a bar, a jaunt someplace uber romantic.
Trust your heart, Leo, because you know what you need and it’s unlikely to be the conventional hearts and flowers and declarations this time of year pushes on us. You want attention, but of a different kind.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Virgo Valentine’s love life cards: Taurus, Open The Book, Stormy Weather
Meaning: The Taurus energy swirling around you currently might bring in a fellow Earth sign obhect of affection (which’d be lovely) but it may also point to a certain standoff or stubborn obstacle in your love life – which might, dare I say Virgo, be you.
You need to open the book and look again at the story you’re creating, why you’re doing what you’re doing, what the outcomes have been and will carry on being if you carry on being this way. Ask questions, ask for input, imagine a different route, look at how other folk get on or get through things like this. There’s more than one approach.
I feel like some stormy weather may lie ahead as you chart your way to smoother seas. There is something needing attention and change, repair and rebuilding, and that means saying truths you have skirted around so far. Get it all out, talk about it, come to compromises and shared goals and common ground, and go from there. Your love life is changing. You are opening up to doing things differently.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Libra Valentine’s love life cards: Libra, Spill The Tea, Stormy Weather
Meaning: A double dose of Libra vibes for you this Valentines. Maybe you will meet a Libran twin who mirrors your desires, values, traits and needs, a perfect match. Maybe you will just experience both the intense romance of your sign and your equal opposing force of self sabotage, through overthinking and second guessing yourself. It’s a balancing act.
There might be a spiky point to watch out for which comes from someone (you?) spilling the tea, saying the things you were meant to keep to yourself… but then again, it’s always better out than in, the truth will surface with or without you. Maybe you feel like the messenger lined up to be shot because stormy weather ensues which is not your favoured state of affairs.
All Librans like a peaceful and harmonious environment, so this issue must be something worth getting worked up for. Let this Valentine’s be a time of speaking truths, saying what has been left unsaid for too long, and getting to a new understanding and place of agreement that you can authentically work with.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Scorpio Valentine’s love life cards: Taurus, Unlock New Insight, Happy Ever After
Meaning: Taurus is your opposite, or sister, sign which means you’re irresistibly drawn together despite being very different characters – and this connection is always tinged with intense sexual chemistry and lust, so expect a very spicy Valentines, whether there’s a Taurus involved or not.
You are unlocking new insight in your love language and romantic bonds. You’re being vulnerable, exposed, letting folk see what lies beneath that tough façade. And it’s working!
The outcome for you is a happy ever after fairytale this Valentine’s. The dream is real. And maybe all it took was for you to have faith and trust in someone fully, to let yourself speak openly and honestly and share your inner world with them. Isn’t that what intimate relationships are truly built upon? Trust and deep understanding. You’re getting the best of both worlds this Valentine’s – physical and emotional.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Sagittarius Valentine’s love life cards: Cancer, Heal The Heartbreak, Intimate and Independen
Meaning: A much softer and gentler vibe will emerge in your love life this Valentine’s, with a strong Cancerian energy or presence. Someone who deeply cares for you, wants to support you in every way, and intuitively ‘gets’ how you really feel without you having to (over)explain.
It’s blissful, peaceful, and soothing, like a cocoon of love. And this beautiful bond enables you to heal your heartbreaks in life, wounds that you’ve patched up and carried on with, old scores never settled, unfinished business that tugs at your imagination. All of that can be served up, examined, confronted and comforted, and then processed and released – and it’s down to this person in your life.
You can enjoy your ideal relationship with them; intimate and independent. They want the best of you, not all of you. They are happy to let you have the space you need, as long as you come home to them. And why wouldn’t you… this is your sanctuary.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Valentine’s love life cards: Libra, Serve The Relationship, Universal Love
Meaning: The diplomacy and harmony and pleasure-seeking virtues of Libra are flowing with you this Valentine’s season, which is going to make for a very happy phase – Libra is ruled by Venus after all, the goddess of love. And if you’re single, maybe a Libra is on the cards…
Serve your relationships. By that I mean, see the relationship as its own entity outside of each of you. It’s an institution almost that needs maintenance, investment and attention. You both have a duty to bring your best selves to your bond and to give more than you take. Do this and the sky is the limit as to how good things can get, I promise you.
Universal love awaits you if you both serve your relationship (with care and concern for each other and kind gestures). The more selfless you are, the more you shall receive. The more love you put into this bond, the more you will get back from it. Capricorn, you yearn for stability, safety and certainty, for a person you can truly lean on and trust. And this is what is in front of you right now, so treat it accordingly and you might be amazed at what unfolds for you this Valentine’s. Dial up the romance.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Aquarius Valentine’s love life cards: Free Spirit, Pursue Passion, A Fun Fling
Meaning: Get ready for a magical, exciting, memorable Valentines where all rules and conventions are suspended and you’re able to do exactly as you wish, when you wish, and with whom! The freedom is intoxicating and delicious. And it’s because you meet (or unlock in your partner) a fellow free spirit.
Somehow you feel more romantic when you’re released to your own whims. So pursue passion. Do what makes you feel good, and what makes them feel good. Explore your desires and ideas and fantasies. Take it to new heights, be open-hearted and experimental. This is a time to play at love.
The output is a fun fling. This phase won’t last forever, either because it literally is a passing flirtation, or because your lives kick back in and you both settle down to a more conventional pattern and routine. Enjoy the magic and sparkle whilst it lasts! Maybe this is something you can make into a regular treat by taking a little trip or weekend off? Maybe fun flings can be put on repeat

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Pisces Valentine’s love life cards: The Soulmate, Say Goodbye, A Tended Garden
Meaning: Pisceans, you deserve soulmates because you’re the most soulful sign – and such a match is on the cards for you this Valentine’s season. The key to discovering it? Say goodbye to something (or someone?) else.
Much is gained by releasing the old, stagnant, lingering, repetitive bonds or habits that can infect our love life energy and prospects, limit our attention for fresh faces or new ideas, and become a barrier to moving on fully from the past. So, say goodbye to what you know, deep in your heart, is over and also no good for you anyway.
What remains is a tended garden; by that I mean a new and flourishing potential relationship. The roots are healthy, the tendrils are unfurling, the flowers are blossoming, everything is vibrant and strong and still has so much more to give. The best of your love life story is all yet to come, Pisces.
