Looking for love? Let the stars guide you this February 2018
Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year, and Pisces season – here's what's in store for you this month!

This month started off with a bang as the lotal lunar eclipse in Leo stole the show last January 31, reminding us all to expect the unexpected.

Valentine’s Day could be overshadowed by yet another eclipse (the partial solar new moon eclipse) and Chinese New Year, the Year of the Earth Dog. The eclipse will fall on a Wednesday, and on a balsamic new moon, when people are still in a daze and not as passionate as they could be. The new moon eclipse in Aquarius brings focus to communities and friendships while the beginning of the Chinese Year of the Dog grounds us after an exhausting year under the Fire Rooster.

On February 18, the month shifts for cerebral Aquarius to romantic Pisces. Perhaps Valentine’s is coming a bit late this year. Hold off a bit and let the cosmic current pull you into your romantic reverie later this month.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

February 4

You may feel pulled in opposite directions, as expansive Jupiter locks into a tense angle with the love planet, Venus. While you may feel compelled to make radical changes in your relationship, perhaps don’t act so impulsively, as the energy will soon pass. Instead, just ride it out and keep that temper in check.

February 10 to March 6

As Venus moves to Pisces, prepare to be swept off your feet as the idealist planet invades your fantasy realm and catches you off guard.You could soon be rolling in the deep with someone special in time for Valentine’s day. Just make sure to check references, as this transit can cause you to overlook important details and jump headfirst into this relationship.

February 21

The perfect day for your romantic imagination, as the planet of love and planet of dreams align, bringing about a tornado of compassion and connection. Yes, you may be feeling extra vulnerable, but don’t hold back those feels (not that you could if you tried).

February 25

Peace-loving Venus forms a tense angle with fiery Mars. A relationship or courtship could threaten to go off the rails. What to do? Don’t overreact! It’s just the first of 3 faceoffs between the cosmic lovers. The good side is that you’ll be given this opportunity to face an issue instead of sweeping it under the rug.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

February 4

Expansive Jupiter locks into a tense angle with the love planet Venus. For paired Taureans, check in with yourself and your partner to make sure you aren’t taking things for granted. The clash between these two planets serves as a reminder to hit the pause button once in a while and talk about what you both desire in the years to come. Singles could meet someone interesting at a work event but remember to keep things professional!

February 10 to March 6

As Venus moves into Pisces in your 11th house of friendships and community, it’s time to lighten up in the love department! Not everything has to have a sexual subtext. Take this time to enjoy casual connections and the freedom that comes from being unattached. Couples will enjoy time with their separate barkadas or maybe going on a double date.

February 21

As romantic Venus aligns with dreamy Neptune in your 11th house of friendship, keeping things platonic may be a little difficult. Fantasy and illusion trumps realism today. Don’t be surprised if you get a Zoolander moment and discover feelings for someone you never even considered a prospect. The eleventh house rules the digital world as well, so a dating app encounter may lead to true romance!

February 25

As peace-loving Venus forms a tense angle with fiery Mars today, you might be ready to throw yourself into a hot but ultimately pointless light. Is this really what you want? Don’t be so impulsive, do a little more soul-searching before crossing the line you can never uncross. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

February 4

Lovely Venus forms a tense angle with confrontational Mars. At this time, it’s so easy to jump to conclusions and stir up a lot of drama. Get the facts straight before you react and avoid giving unsolicited advice to your partner.

February 10 to March 6

February 10 kicks off a tender and compassionate 4 weeks as the planet of love in dreamy Pisces pays her annual visit to your 10th house of long-range goals. So what do you want for the future, whether with your long time love or potential partner? Knowing what it is the first step toward manifesting it!

February 21

Right in the middle of her tour in Pisces and your house of long-range goals, Venus meets up with Neptune dialing up the emotions and the fantasy realm. While it’s fine to dream up romantic plans, make sure you and the other person are on the same page or you could be in for a bit of a letdown.

February 25

Fiery Mars forms a tense angle with peace-loving Venus. In the first of this year’s 3 cosmic entanglements, your romantic plans could get derailed. Impatient Mars could fuel pressure to commit before you feel ready or spark a fight over something so small and trivial. Remember to breathe!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

 

February 4

Does part of you want to commit to that special someone while another part wants to play the field and keep your options open? The tense angle between independent Aries and compromising Libra can be blamed for this. Make sure your ego isn’t blocking your ability to open up enough to connect to another on a deeper level.

February 17 to March 6

As Venus moves to fantasy-filled Pisces, your mind and heart will blow wide open during this sweet annual transit of the love planet through your adventurous 9th house. You might fall for someone from a different background, or sparks could fly with a long-distance paramour. Attached but in a rut? Try some new activities together – something outdoorsy or mind-expanding might be just what you need to reignite the spark.

February 15

This year’s only Aquarius new moon, also a solar eclipse, lands in your house of sex and intimacy, opening the door for greater understanding and compassion. Are you ready to have the talk about taking your next step? If not, you probably will be within the coming 6 months.

February 21

With romantic venus aligning with fantasy planet Neptune in your 9th house of travel and adventure, everyday romance just won’t do. If you can’t steal away for a spontaneous out-of-town date, at least sit down together and start cooking up some travel plans.

February 25

The love planets Venus and Mars clash today, making everyone irascible and irrational. Before you go off and lose your temper, reflect on what’s really bothering you. You might not be able to get an immediate answer, thanks to the conflicting energies of today’s stars – but if you catch yourself being overly fussy or critical, that might be an indication that something much bigger is bugging you. Pause before you react and if possible, spend some time in nature to soften your feelings. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22)

February 10 to March 6

As the love planet moves into dream-filled Pisces, you’ll either be all in or all our when the love planet grooves into your 8th house of deep emotions, sex, and soul merging.

February 15

In this Aquarius new moon and partial solar eclipse, it’s time to make things official. A 6-month chapter begins for committed relationships. Single? You can (and should) start your search in earnest. Today also marks the Chinese New Year in the sign of the loyal dog, which bodes well with the “faithful-companion” theme of this new moon.

February 17 to March 6

When the communication planet joins loving Venus in your intimate, erotic, 8th house you’ll feel compelled to express a secret fantasy or your deepest emotions. Work on building trust with someone worthy over the next couple weeks.

February 21

Venus aligns with Neptune. This is a powerful and emotional mashup, the only one of its kind all year. You might be seeing someone through rose-colored glasses or feel  an intense sexual attraction. Whichever it is, be aware that what you might think is a casual hookup could cause you to fall head over heels in love (or lust?) and there’s no easy way out!

February 25

Romantic Venus forms a tense angle with fiery Mars. You may feel conflicted about how to process with a romantic prospect. Part of you is ready to dive in head first, but another part isn’t quite ready. While you crave intimacy, you might not be ready to give up your equally strong need for adventure.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)

February 4

As Venus forms a tense angle with expansive Jupiter, it’s time to stop talking and start doing. You’ve dissected and discussed an idea to death. Break the obsessive chatter in your head by finding something fun to occupy your hyperactive mind. Avoid the temptation to give a love interest unsolicited advice as your “feedback” may be read as more critical than helpful.

February 17 to March 6

With Mercury in your committed partnership zone, you’ve got happily ever after on your mind. Pave the way for productive, future-oriented dialogue with your significant other. Get back in sync by asking questions and listening rather than leaping to conclusions. Single? By keeping an upbeat attitude, you might attract someone with long-term potential. This is a good time to make a list of all the qualities you like in a mate as well as your deal breakers.

February 21

When Venus and Neptune align, don’t hold back on the romance! This once-a-year- magical mashup between the super idealistic planets in your relationship house inspires you to be sentimental and even a little sappy. Indulge your favorite person with love and appreciation and allow them to do the same in return. Single? Today, you could get swept off your feet. Are you seeing this person clearly? Frankly, today, you could care less.

February 25

When Mercury and Neptune align, it’s hard to tell where your partner is coming from, as hazy Neptune distorts the communication planet’s messages in your partnership corner. This energy is good for creative visualisation and manifesting. Journal or make a vision board about the kind of relationship you’d like to have, pouring your heart and soul into it.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)

February 4

Venus forms a tense aspect with Jupiter. You might have to choose between frisky adventures and the security of your love life. Which one will it be? You may want to have both, but think about how you’d feel if the tables were turned and your committed partner wanted to “have a little fun.”

February 10 to March 6

For the next 3 weeks, you’ll have a chance to pour your energy into anything involving health, finances, and self-care, as motherly Venus settles in your wellness house in dreamy Pisces. Launch a health routine with your mate. Single? Be your friendly chatty self in the gym or yoga studio.

February 15

With the Aquarius new moon and partial solar eclipse, a 6-month cycle comes into effect today for your love life, Libra. If you’re single, explore new options for putting yourself out there. The 5th house rules passion, and eclipses can mark unexpected events. You get the picture. Today also marks the start of the Year of the Dog, which happens to be the Chinese astrology sign associated with Libra. Bring on the balance and beauty!

February 21

When Venus aligns with Neptune in your work and service zone, you may filled with compassion and may be inspired to go out of your way to be more generous than usual to someone you care about. The kindest part is that you don’t expect anything in return.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)

February 4

As Venus forms a tense angle with Jupiter, you’re feeling pulled into two directions today – the love planet activates your homey, sentimental house, while liberated Jupiter in your sign is craving freedom. Scratch beneath the surface: what’s really going on here? Could it be you’re just feeling a little exposed or vulnerable?

February 10 to March 6

Vixen Venus shimmies through your passionate and romantic 5th house in starry-eyed Pisces for the next 3 weeks, deepening your bond or making single Scorpios more serious about finding love. Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to express your feelings – or give those swiping fingers a workout.

February 15

Today’s new moon in Aquarius in your foundational 4th house opens a fresh chapter around home, family, and feelings. Since it’s an eclipse, there could be big changes in the coming 6 months involving family. Women, especially relatives, could play into the events. With the Chinese zodiac in the year of the loyal dog for the next year, you’ll have even more cosmic support to settle into a steady groove.

February 17 to March 6

As the messenger planet wings its way through your flirty 5th house in starry-eyed Pisces, you’re encouraged to speak from the heart. The Pisces energy can help you express your deepest desires, which might just come through as titillating text or steamy Snap!

February 21

Once a year, when the the love planets Venus and Mars canoodle in your romance zone, it’s easy to get locked in your couple bubble. But go easy on the PDA. Not everyone is a fan of such demonstrativeness. Single Scorpios could get similarly swept away by an all-assuming attraction.

February 25

Compounding the intensity of today, a Mercury-Neptune conjunction in your romance house can muddle communication or sweep you far away from reality. You could have a telepathic connection with your love interest. Just as you think of them, they text, or you bump into each other serendipitously. This might be a “love at first sight” kind of day for singles, but only time will tell if it’s infatuation or the real deal. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)

February 4

As Venus and Jupiter form a tense angle, think twice before you jump into a game of “true confessions” or admit an attraction to someone you aren’t 100 percent sure about. While it’s nice to wear your heart on your sleeve, you could overwhelm the other person. Or, you’ll get tangled in something more serious than you want.

February 10 to March 6

You’ll catch a case of the feels when tender Venus swings into your sentimental 4th house in Pisces. Couples may feel inclined to move in together, expand the family, or buy a home. Single? Shake things up energetically by getting a healing treatment. Listen up when a female BFF offers you advice. She most probably knows what she’s talking about!

February 21

When Venus and Neptune align, they give birth to the most romantic moments of the year. It can be for you if you can let yourself be vulnerable. With these two super-sensitive planets intertwined in your touchy-feely 4th house, fight your reflex to use humor as an emotional shield. How would it feel to be completely open and trusting? With mystical Neptune involved, it’s a potent day for manifesting. Whether single or attached, visualize yourself in a loving, fulfilling relationship – then ask the universe to work its magic.

February 25

Is it intuition… or just your imagination? With mental Mercury and foggy Neptune aligned in your sensitive 4th house, don’t be too quick to act on a feeling or trust your gut. This compassionate conjunction does make it a good day to express sweet sentiments. Tell someone how much you appreciate them and don’t be afraid to get misty-eyed. You could have a hallmark moment or two today. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)

February 4

Larger-than-life Jupiter may be stirring things up in your friendship zone, but an uneasy square to the love planet in your security zone makes you reluctant to cross any “previously platonic” boundaries. Even if chemistry is brewing with a pal or colleague, be very careful about walking that dangerous line.

February 10 to March 6

When diplomatic Venus beams into your communication corner in Pisces, your top priority will be engaging in loving and honest dialogue with your loved one. The best way to increase the peace is by being more transparent with everyone!

February 21

The two most romantic planets, Venus and Neptune lock lips in your communication house. You’ll feel safe and supported enough to let your guard down and freely talk about your feelings. It’s a perfect night for an extra-romantic date!

February 25: Venus-Mars square

The cosmic lovebirds make their first of 3 uneasy squares this year. Think long and hard before you say anything that could wound or alienate someone you care about. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)

February 4

As Venus forms a tense angle with Jupiter, you’d be more than happy to let love rule, but demanding Jupiter in your career corner is sending a warning signal to the love planet in your sign. You may have to juggle some priorities to keep everyone happy, but don’t compromise your most important values.

February 10 to March 6

Venus adds some spice into your V-day with her charming presence in your second house of practical luxury in Pisces. You won’t have to go into debt to enjoy some upscale dates. In this placement, the love planet is also seeking security, so let people know what’s in your heart.

February 21

When sensual Venus unites with dreamy Neptune in your material second house, pampering is the answer. GIve yourself a generous budget and indulge. Book a massage, go for some retail therapy, treat yourself to a decadent meal. This will get you in the mood for love – which, of course, includes self-love.

February 25

Your desire for security in a relationship with Venus in your grounded second house could be undermined by Mars’ lusty appetite. Part of you is happy and content with the status quo, yet another part is yanking on your leash. Stay present and don’t let yourself do anything too crazy.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)

February 4

You might set out to have an “honest” conversation with someone today, but under this unwieldy mashup when Venus forms a tense angle with Jupiter, it could go sideways. Ensure that you’re not projecting your own issues onto this person or being passive-aggressive. If you can’t tell whether your strong feelings are reciprocated, hold off on expressing them.

February 10 to March 6

Compassionate and sensual Venus pays her annual respects to your sign, putting you in fine, flirty form. Playfulness and romance? Of course! But this 3 week cycle is also good for devoting more time to self-care, giving your personal style a little upgrade, and immersing yourself in beauty.

February 15

Craving a fresh start in a major area in your life? This Aquarius new moon and partial solar eclipse in your 12th house of healing, surrender, and soulmates – the only one of 2018 – can set you up for the changes you are ready to make. The key word there is “ready;” this isn’t something your angels hand-delivered to you, Pisces. These kinds of alterations come from deep inside your psyche and manifest through your sustained efforts!

February 2

When these two idealistic and mesmerizing planets, Venus and Neptune, make their annual embrace in your sign, you may get swept away by sensuality and seduction.

February 25

Today marks the first of 2018’s 3 Venus-Mars face-offs and it could push you to act prematurely. What’s wrong with enjoying yourself and indulging in a little romantic reconnaissance? You won’t owe your love interest(s) anything except honesty. It’s fine to take your time before going all in. That said, if you don’t have any intention of committing, be honorable and let them know. – Rappler.com
