What To Expect For Your Love Life This Valentine's Day, Based On Your Sign

by Crystal Duan

You may be checking your daily horoscope and monthly horoscope, but are you freaking out prematurely over what's going to happen for your Valentine's Day horoscope? Many people don't know what to expect for their love lives on Valentine's Day, and luckily there's a way your sign can play into predicting that.

Common misconceptions are that horoscopes nail down your future concretely and you're trapped. But really, horoscopes serve as great reminders that there are vast opportunities for anything good and abundant to come into our lives at all times, romance or not. It's easy to forget that, but so as long as you keep an open mind and heart, you really can't go wrong when it comes to the universe!

We all have lessons to learn in this life. And for each specific sun sign, your lessons may actually be somewhat similar due to the trademark qualities of each of them.

The planet Saturn, which symbolizes discipline, is in Capricorn this year. So each of us are going to get a bit harder of a lesson. But never fear, we're all going to be figuring this out as we go along. So without further ado, here's what to expect for your love life based on your sign this Valentine's Day:

Aries

If you're single: Aries, if you're actively looking, you will find someone. Don't stress about the chase. You understand better than most that love makes the world go round; just be sure to listen to yourself and process and identify your emotions and needs before you worry about anyone else's.

If you're in a relationship: Do things feel tense these days? Valentine's Day is the perfect time to remember why you are even dating. If distance has become a thing you sense in your relationship, don't let yourself get too worried. Bae might be busy or might be wondering where you are at. Take the time to appreciate one another's company and let yourself be the "spark" that makes it a fun night. It's not so much what you do — it's who you're doing it with that makes it unforgettable.

Taurus

If you're single: Show your pals just how great the individual life can be. A lot of people find your independence inspiring, Taurus, including maybe someone special you've been overlooking. But ultimately, it's up to you if you want to have a fling right now. You're enjoying finding out more about who you really are, and feel free to evangelize to other people this true philosophy of self love.

If you're in a relationship: You've been toiling away trying to figure out the right way to show your partner the appreciation you feel, and trust me — they see your efforts. Tauruses are naturals at making sure love is as sensory and comfortable an experience as possible for their lovers. Have faith that your efforts are going to pay off.

Gemini

If you're single: You're so bubbly and popular, Gemini, that you probably have people lining up out the door clamoring for your attention. If you are looking for someone, odds are they could be hiding right under your nose — and if you're not, more power to you. You're the one who will keep the party going this V-Day.

If you're in a relationship: Chances are, your partner isn't as spontaneous and adventurous as you and perhaps sometimes wonders why you picked them. So feel free to treat them to a fancy night out or a sweet, meaningful picnic (depending on your budget!) as a means of showing your appreciation. They'll see that you're not just all fun and games, but a serious great connection that can last.

Cancer

If you're single: You may be yearning for someone to give to and share life with, and you should trust that if you're looking, you absolutely deserve that person. You should keep in mind that your compassionate heart is actually quite uncommon and special, and the right person will appreciate it — and that regardless of whether you're coupled, people appreciate it wherever you go.

If you're in a relationship: Remember that giving is ah-mazing and makes the world go round and all of that jazz. But make sure you set yourself some boundaries in order to enjoy all the lovin' your partner can give you in return!

Leo

If you're single: Get out there and explore, you proud lion! Don't be afraid to be the life of the party that your soul was destined to be, and let your glow and magnetic appeal shine! Who knows — you could attract the right mate just when you're least expecting it and just casually shaking your mane in line at the club. Either way, you're guaranteed to have a fun V-Day.

If you're in a relationship: You know you deserve to be treated like royalty — but just remember to make sure you know exactly what kinds of behaviors will and won't fly. High standards is super important... but life also comes with tradeoffs, so if your partner's coming up short with the extravaganza this holiday, make sure you take a step back before you roar at them!

Virgo

If you're single: If you are looking, maybe you feel hung up on the idea of finding someone "perfect" for you; but make sure you're factoring yourself in, too. A the end of the day, do you like this person? Do you have fun with them? Do you want something serious or casual? Figure out your expectations before you hop into anything this V-Day, and then it will be a lot easier to find a good fit for your lifestyle.

If you're in a relationship: Try to brainstorm a fun way of getting off the couch and out on the town. This Valentine's season, don't be afraid to let your hair down and relax for a bit. Your mate will see a whole new side of you and probably find it just as dazzling as your caring, nurturing usual persona!

Libra

If you're single: No doubt about it, everyone loves you, Libra. You're one of the most airy yet sensual signs of the zodiac, and if you've been doubting your worth lately, please be easier on yourself. You need to look in the mirror, hug yourself, and grin nice and wide. Doll yourself up and spend some time really looking within at how beautiful that gem of a soul you have is. If you're looking, you'll find the right person to appreciate you, but remember to look at yourself the way others do: as worthy and awesome.

If you're in a relationship: Man, you've been getting some serious vibes that your partner wants you to make more of a commitment. How do you feel about that? Make sure you're 100 percent on board with this relationship before proceeding into uncharted territory. If it's a hell yes, then proceed with caution in truly showing them you care. But if you're beginning to have your doubts and they're showing up... perhaps realizing they're not the one is going to be tantamount to your happiness this season.

Scorpio

If you're single: You're the kind of person who's able to cast a spell; people just can't get enough of you. So continue doing you, whether it's with that friends with benefits, a fling, or just by dressing up and hitting the town solo. You may be a water sign, but you sure know how to heat things up!

If you're in a relationship: You and your partner have been getting closer lately and sharing more intimate stuff. They may feel vulnerable, so figure out a way to reassure them that you're seriously here to stay. Who knows — that might be what seals the deal on this long term connection. So don't be afraid to hold hands in the candlelight and stare into each other's eyes this V-Day, Scorpio. It might pay off in the near future.

Sagittarius

If you're single: You may feel like you've been looking forever for the kind of love you want, but as always, remember that your fire is going to be the key to finding successful relationships. Stoke it by exercising your creativity. Whether it's getting more involved with your gym's basketball team, taking on a cool new hobby like sewing, or baking weird styles of tasty treats for your friends, the way to finding love — whether romantic love, or loving friendships — is by way of your passion. Exercise it!

If you're in a relationship: Taking things slow is a good way to make sure you're not going to get whiplash. A chill night in for V-Day is not a bad move! Keep things light and fun, and don't worry about trying to find the one for life. All you know right now is you love the person in front of you, and there is some way they make you even better of an adventurer than you already are. Remembering to be grateful but also trust the process is the best way for you to find your footing in a relationship, Sag!

Capricorn

If you're single: Oh Cappy. For years, people have joked that you take your work life way more seriously than your love life — and that's fine. But if you're bothered by it, this is a good a time as any to take action. Hop on that dating app you've been putting off trying, or just let your hair down and go out for a night of fun with your friends and see where the fun takes you.

If you're in a relationship: Perhaps you're worrying about being independent while also dating someone seriously. Trust your judgment here — you wouldn't pick someone that sabotaged the real you. Frankly, you're too grounded for that. Let yourself enjoy Valentine's Day, which really is a sweet holiday beneath all the corporate fodder.

Aquarius

If you're single: You are seeing many different people and allowing yourself to float along in the waters of possibilities out there. Don't let people get away with trying to size you up in one go, though — if you know what you're looking for, let that someone know. But if that's not what you're looking for, do not worry about the pressures of if you should be dating/how many people/how many times a week or all that jazz. Do what feels natural. You have great instincts, Aqua.

If you're in a relationship: You should try surprising bae with a unique new outing. They love your creative and curious nature, so you'll be sure to come up with the perfect idea for both of you to have maximal fun this Valentine's Day. Don't be afraid of being too flighty — they're is loving the chase, so just keep on frolicking!

Pisces

If you're single: Maybe you've been wanting a relationship for a while now, but who's to say that's a bad thing? Pisces, your intuition is reliable, and whoever you're vibing with these days may be so much of a connection that it scares you. Don't ever let yourself shame yourself for feeling so deeply. It's truly a privilege. Valentine's Day is a time to appreciate all the love the world has in it, and you are part of the world. Just remember that if you are working up the nerve to ask that special someone out on a real, serious date.

If you're in a relationship: You're trying to make sure the magic stays alive, even if it's well past the honeymoon phase. Just don't stress yourself out over it. Bae is inclined to please you, so communicating your needs, worries and joys may be the best sort of Valentine's Day gift from a reserved but sensitive soul like you!
