Happy Valentine’s Day! For those of you celebrating, congrats! For those of you who are avoiding the holiday for obvious reasons, … well… better luck next year? Valentine’s Day is different for everyone, and your horoscope might explain exactly why…
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18): Known for being deep thinkers, Aquariuses love a good conversation. While they can be independent and slightly temperamental, the way to their heart is through their brain. Very compatible with Geminis and Libras, and enjoys someone who’s interested in the real you.
Pisces (Feb 19 – March 20): The Pisces are the emotional baddies, and they feel everythinggg. They’re living life (and this holiday) like they’re the main character in a rom-com. Accordingly, doing a thought-out gesture is guaranteed to make an impact on their life. Pisces love the Cancers and Scorpios, who always know how to understand their feelings.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): AKA no nonsense, straight to it. If you have an Aries in your life, you probably already can tell how assertive and passionate they are about what’s important to them. They are drawn to people who naturally get them and can match their energy. Because of this, Leos and Sagittariuses are extremely compatible with Aries, who always keep things interesting.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Tauruses are incredibly loyal, but also incredibly stubborn and resistant to change (I am one, and you can tell…). They are won over by comfort and someone who is able to continuously support them. They also love a good activity, so anything you can actively do with them is guaranteed to make them happy. Tauruses connect with Virgos and Capricorns because not only can they support them, but their chemistry starts off strong.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Enter the social butterflies, the Gemini. The charismatic, mischievous, and funny. Geminis love doing anything and everything to make people happy, and surround themselves with lots of these opportunities. They look for the excitement and wild side in their people, as well as someone who enjoys exploring perspectives. Geminis connect with the Libra and Aquarius, who can equally match their fun-loving chaos.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Cancers are softies. They love deeply and will remember the smallest details about you (take that with a grain of salt). Known to be slightly insecure, they value emotional connection and quality time to get close to them, and their caring nature makes it worth the time. Cancers are most compatible with Capricorns and Tauruses, horoscopes who match their emotional depth.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): Leos take every opportunity to be the main character. They love loving and being loved, and can be very expressive and dramatic (in a good way? maybe?). You can expect them to perform big gestures and compliment frequently, good qualities for a day like Valentines day. Big personalities have to be equally matched, so Leos are compatible with Aries and Sagittarius.
Virgo (August 23 – Sept 22): Actions speak louder than words, a phrase that describes Virgos perfectly. They constantly aim for perfection, but are loyal and kind people at heart. They may love quietly, but their love will be shown through actions like thoughtful plans, and they are equally won over by the little things. To Virgos, effort is more important than big gestures, and they value stability and mutual support. Virgos vibe with the Tauruses and Capricorns, who match their loyalty, quiet love, and at times, extreme perfectionism.
Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22): *Hopeless Romantics* Known to be the most romantic of the horoscopes, Libras prioritize harmony and charm, so lay it on thick. They thrive in connections to people who are fun, thoughtful, and emotionally engaging. They love the Geminis and Aquariuses, who can match the wit and the love that Libras crave.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21): Scorpios prioritize emotional connections, loyalty, and trust. Once they trust you, like a pinky promise, the trust can not be broken. Scorpios are known to be passionate (maybe a little possessive) over their loved ones, but are a horoscope that strives to maintain the “great love” idea. Scorpios fit most with Cancers and Pisces, who understand and match their emotional intensity.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21): Known to be the most adventurous, Sagittarius is a horoscope built on the love for experiences and spontaneity. They are drawn to people who are up for an adventure and can keep things exciting and sincere. They mesh well with Aries and Leos, who perfectly match their enthusiasm and energy.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19): Capricorns love to be in charge, but are extremely dedicated to the people close to them. It takes a minute for them to open up, and they do act like a know-it-all sometimes, but they are very responsible and lead by action. After getting to know them, they are dedicated to keeping that relationship, so the best way to get close with them is to stick with them and stay thoughtful. Trust me, these people are worth it, so keep walking the path. Capricorns stick with the Tauruses and the Virgos, who help keep the stability and strong connection.
Whether your horoscope is a hopeless romantic, single pringle, or an emotional wreck, you can love it or hate it, but your horoscope is permanent. For all you nonbelievers out there, take one look at your description and tell me that is not you. Single this Valentine’s Day? Blame your horoscope. Happy Valentine’s Day to the lovers and good luck to the singles, may the odds be ever in your favor.
