Learn what February 14th has in store for you
Yes, this day has been commodified to push sales of roses and candy hearts — but it also reminds us that our primary relationships are worthy of some serious doting. Be they with best friends, romantic partners, family members, chosen family, beloved pets, or creative collaborators, our connections are portals to transformation. They’re testing grounds, sites of support, and sources of vitality. We can subvert the sugary clichés of this holiday by leaning in to the intricacies of the planet Venus, who rules not only romance but deep intimacy, platonic love, self-love, beauty, art, fairness, and pleasure.
This particular V-day flutters in on the flight path of Venus in practical Capricorn, which forms an auspicious sextile to dreamy Neptune on February 13th. Such a combo emphasizes the importance of grounding our highest ideals into tangible acts of affection — for both ourselves and others. When Venus is in Capricorn, the archetype of romance has more to do with being in alignment with our inner integrity than coyly batting lashes and proffering gifts. (Though that can be fun too.)
Read on to learn how the astrology of February 14th, 2024, seeks to expand your heart, stretch your capacity for love, and stoke the core of all your connections.
Tip: As you move through this post, read the horoscope for your natal Venus, along with the horoscope for your rising and/or Sun sign. After all, it’s your Venus that opens a window into the ways you love, desire, and feel recognized in partnership.

Aries & Aries Rising
This Valentine’s Day, send some gratitude to the co-conspirators who uplift your career or greater calling. All of your dreams start as unconscious seeds stirring with life. With tender nurturing, they burst forth and flower into public offerings.
Take stock of the interpersonal nutrients you’ve received from others while paving your way. These helpers could be encouraging friends, past teachers who boosted your self-confidence, or professional connections that amplify your own areas of expertise.
And if you’re still feeling into your gifts and talents, let them incubate. Your muses are waiting to midwife your creativity out from your depths and into the world. If you’re seeking to attract a crew of devoted supporters, practice building faith in your talents behind closed doors. Conjure the applause you deserve by reciting this love-spell affirmation:
“I am my first audience. When I marvel at my creations in private, I attract supportive audiences for them out in the world too.”

Taurus & Taurus Rising
This Valentine’s Day highlights your relationships with the mentors, spiritual guides, and thought leaders who enrich your world. In particular, focus on the teachings or techniques that strengthen the interconnected web of your community.
This is a day to entertain your fantasies for the collective — from ending war to simply getting more trees planted on your block. But don’t stop there. Ask yourself what rituals you can enact to ground your aspirations. Light a candle for anyone or any cause you want to bring healing to. Craft an altar to community justice. Immerse yourself in the poetry, songs, or other works of art that imagine a juster world.
Stoke your faith in radical interconnectedness and it will sustain you in return. To conjure your allies in co-creation, recite this love-spell affirmation:
“I attract the teachers, mentors, and guides who can help me root my ideals in reality, generating beauty and abundance for all.”

Gemini & Gemini Rising
This Valentine’s Day, soak in the sweetness of your collaborations. All relationships strike a balance between giving and receiving, but some prove to be more fruitful than others.
Clock the grounded assistance that others have gifted you. Especially if it helped you gain confidence in your offerings. Think: the wise therapist who helped you bust imposter syndrome. The considerate roommate who lent you a shirt for a job interview. The romantic partner who bought you your first paint set.
While you’re marinating in all that appreciation, shine light on your relationship with your personal power too. Crafting boundaries around your exchanges protects your fledgling desires.
When you’re realistic about what you can share freely with others and what you need to safeguard, you co-create connections that are beneficial and fulfilling for everyone involved.
Conjure your supporters by reciting this love-spell affirmation:
“I honor my power, my limitations, and my needs in relationships with others. By doing so, I swing open the doors to mutual support. People want to help me and I’m willing to be helped.”

Cancer & Cancer Rising
This Valentine’s Day, generate grace in your committed relationships by exploring a more expansive viewpoint on intimacy.
Our tightest bonds — whether with best friends, romantic loves, or business collaborators — can be booby-trapped with projections and triggers. But they’re also portals to life’s most profound experiences. Our romantic and platonic relationships catalyze us, challenge us, and inspire us — sometimes all on the same day.
The key is to stay tapped into outlooks that hold a richness in perspective. Checking your expectations of how other people “should” or “should not” behave ensures that you’re engaging with the real deal — not only your fantasy.
By taking in the bigger picture, you’re better able to shed the small stuff and aim for the extraordinary. To conjure more fulfilling interactions with others, recite this love-spell affirmation:
“When I choose to interpret my own and others’ behavior through a wide-angle lens, I attract the best from them and from myself.”

Leo & Leo Rising
This Valentine’s Day, show some love to the helpers in your life — from bustling kitchen witches to savvy herbalists and any other practitioners of practical magic. Receiving supportive instructions on how to physically, mentally, or spiritually thrive is a gift that endures.
If you like, expand this circle of appreciation to the astute therapists or heartfelt pals who have offered you a shoulder to cry on through break-ups, betrayals, or other major life events. Being compassionately witnessed by others during times of upheaval or grief is one of the greatest blessings we can ever accept.
And if you’re still seeking your own personal crew of grounded fairy godmothers to transform life’s pumpkins into gilded carriages, shift your attention to your own innate powers of regeneration. The notion that you are your own best healer is fact, not fiction.
Honor your potential by enacting self-care rituals that magnify your light and make your cells shimmer, whether that means brewing an elixir or reading in the tub. Activate your abilities by reciting this love-spell affirmation:
“When I honor my relationship with my inner healer, I attract other caring helpers into my life.”

Virgo & Virgo Rising
This Valentine’s Day, your relationships of all stripes are conduits for your generativity. And vice versa. Supportive romantic partners and platonic playmates plug you into the vital spark of your life force — and the more you cultivate creativity and pleasure on your own, the lusher your connections grow.
But it’s not all fun and games. You’ve been putting real work into reckoning with inner and/or outer obstacles to intimacy. You’ve been learning how to set healthy boundaries and patch pre-existing ones when the situation calls. Honoring your needs and preferences is mandatory for creating sustainable bonds. Your “no” protects your “yes.”
While this process can feel grueling at times, it gets easier when you tap into your imagination. Your entanglements require equal parts realism and revelry to thrive. To conjure revitalizing relationships with yourself and others, recite this love-spell affirmation:
“I attract fulfilling connections when I take responsibility for my pleasure and pray at the altar of my own longings.”

Libra & Libra Rising
This Valentine’s Day, nourish your longing for security, rooting, and cozy connections. While the outer world is prone to bustle, flux, and change, you can ground into sweetness and stability with those who feel like family anytime.
Think: the besties you can hang out with in sweatpants, or the animal friends who lull you to sleep with their gentle snores. Basking in the accepting presence of your close loves melts your internal blocks to being witnessed and connects you with the ideals you hold dear.
If you’re yearning for more supportive bonds, focus on steadily building your relationship with your inner child. The more comfortable you are dishing out TLC to your most vulnerable aspects, the better you’re able to identify those in your life who are capable of treating you with equal tenderness.
To conjure the sweetness and safety you yearn for, recite this love-spell affirmation:
“When I consistently offer comfort to the soft parts of myself, I attract others who feel like home.”

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
This Valentine’s Day, words pack the potential to enhance your powers of enchantment. Luxuriate in your longing for connection — whether with new pals, romantic partners, or your creative muses. Then push yourself to articulate how you feel.
Confess your desires to trusted friends, scrawl embarrassing love poems in your journal, or carve your prayers into rose-scented candles. Channeling your dreams into distinct sentences grounds them on the material plane — plus it helps clarify what you want in the first place.
Your committed connections have been a site of change and upheaval in recent years. But sharpening your fantasies will distill your core requirements for connection and stabilize your spell-casting. To conjure new beloveds, recite this love-spell affirmation:
“I use my words to attract the friends, loves, and creative collaborators who help me take my joy seriously.”

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
This Valentine’s Day, tally up the interpersonal gold of your romantic and platonic connections. Your bonds accumulate storehouses of wealth over time — whether in the shape of slowly increasing trust, a sense of belonging, or the reinforcement of shared values.
If you’re still yearning to attract co-conspirators capable of deciphering the code of your heart’s safety deposit box, investigate your daydreams. Beneath the hazy sheen of your fantasies, you possess an inner radar system that can direct you toward those worthy of intimacy.
The trick? For this radar to function properly, you have to spend time getting real about how you want to be treated by others. The more practical you are about your non-negotiables, the smoother it will be to secure partnerships that fulfill them. Your desires require both your imagination and your dedication to materialize.
For extra credit, focus on your aspirations for sharing collective wealth as well. Being generous with others in our orbit inspires life to bless us in return. To conjure emotionally and spiritually rich relationships, recite this love-spell affirmation:
“When I honor and respect my own value, I attract collaborators who reconnect me to life’s abundance.”

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
This Valentine’s Day, let your idealism override your commitment to practicality. While you’re notorious for your discipline, maturity, and stiff upper lip, this moment asks you to soften into the tenderness of your bonds with others — whether passionate or platonic.
Though your first instinct is often to transform your relationships into a series of goals to be achieved, there’s value in surrendering to the sweet pointlessness of vulnerability every now and then. One of your best-kept secrets: Beneath your controlled persona, a hidden romantic dozes.
After all, why would you strategize so shrewdly or hustle so hard if you didn’t secretly believe that fantasies could become realities? Don’t allow your focus on functionality to cloud your belief in fairy tales. Quiet your inner critic and take the risk of entertaining the possibility of your own “happily ever after,” even if it’s just for a day.
To conjure the support of fellow secret dreamers, recite this love-spell affirmation:
“When I relax into receptivity, I attract others who are eager to build my wildest fantasies with me.”

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
This Valentine’s Day, strike up a romance with the characters who roam your inner world. These are the magical beings who occupy your dreams: your psyche’s gods and goddesses, sneaky saboteurs, and crafty creatrixes.
While this choir of voices might not be the first that comes to mind when you think about working on your relationships, they’re more important than what they’re given credit for. Your internal shadowlands are the breeding grounds of your desires, after all, and they ultimately fuel the stories you create about others.
When you weave discernment into the fantasies that color your flow states, you welcome clarity into your interpersonal dynamics. So write out your most persistent daydreams. Ask your inner wise ones about the close bonds in your life, and let their advice seep out through poetry, epiphanies, or the language of sudden instinct. When you court the unknown within you, you become capable of adoring the mysteries in those around you as well.
To conjure the profound connections you deserve, recite this love-spell affirmation:
“When I romance my own secrets, I come more into alignment with my truth and attract allies and companions who are capable of loving my depth.”

Pisces & Pisces Rising
This Valentine’s Day, feed your dreams, aspirations, and hopes for the collective. Tuning in to the needs and desires of your community activates your imagination, expands your social circle, and weaves you more intimately into the web of life.
Spend extra time noticing how your longings ripple out beyond the circumference of your personal world. Attune to the hyper-specific ways that inspiration is nudging you to contribute your gifts and talents to more far-reaching projects.
Whether that means making a poster board for a protest, simmering a stew to share with a neighbor, or beaming silent prayers for peace up to the night sky, seek both big and small avenues for giving.
When you offer your creative abilities in service to a vaster mission, the cosmos circulates blessings back to you a hundredfold. Tend to your relationships with strangers and soulmates alike to receive your greatest abundance. To conjure the sweetness of interconnection, recite this love-spell affirmation:
“When I open my heart to my community, I attract even more ways to feel supported by life.”
