ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

Imagine you’re in love with someone and they’re in love with you. Imagine you send each other Valentine’s cards but they don’t arrive today. Is it a sign that something’s wrong? Or, suppose as a couple, you don’t choose to celebrate February the 14th. Is that an indication of the depth of feelings you have for one another? No, the opposite is true. Gestures are of little value when there’s a lack of love in our hearts. Today, as your ruler moves into sensual Taurus, you can prioritise passion.

LEO JUL 24 - AUG 23

Suppose you need to cross a fast-flowing river. Since there are no boats or bridges, the only way is to excavate a tunnel beneath it. You dig for hours until you hit an immovable rock. What can you do now? Forced to the surface to assess the situation, you realise that the river is tidal and that the level has dropped to the point where you can just walk across. Were your efforts wasted? It doesn’t matter! What’s important is that you can get to where you want to be. Look for the positive this Valentine’s Day. Roses are red, violets are blue, for a romance prediction just for you, call 1900 959 005.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

They tell us to ‘make hay when the sun shines’; a good reminder that we need to check the weather before setting out with a specific goal in mind. There’s no point getting into the field only to discover that a rain cloud has made work impossible. This Valentine’s Day brings the cosmic equivalent of clear skies today. If you can focus on what you want to achieve, you’ll be able to easily deal with anything that needs to be dealt with, leaving you with enough time to make metaphorical hay!

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

Passionate Mars’ move into Taurus underlines the power you have at your disposal. It’s time to put your heart into matters that touch your soul. You can have faith in your imagination, as well as trust in your innovative abilities to create a more sustaining and enjoyable reality. This surge of energy frees you to make changes and to act on your feelings. What do you wish would happen today? Although you can’t completely set the agenda, you’ll enjoy trying – and will be more successful than you think!

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

We all struggle to admit to ignorance. We’d rather bluff, guess and fudge our way through than admit that we don’t know the answer. The more conviction we muster in our blustering, the better. The problem is that in the cacophony of feigned bravado, genuine expertise gets drowned out; it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish the truth from an ocean of fiction. The celestial energies are focusing your earthy intuition today. Love is in the air. Don’t allow yourself to be swept along by anything else. Roses are red, violets are blue, for a romance prediction just for you, call 1900 959 005.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Can you imagine living somewhere different to where you are? Would you move far away? Are there things about your home life that you’d like to alter? What about the tasks you do to fill up your day? The friends you spend time with? I ask, because you really do need to think about what you’re secretly wishing for. With Venus in your sign, plus Mars’ move into Taurus, the wish-granting fairy is closer than you imagine. It’s giving you the power to create change this Valentine’s Day. Use your wishes wisely.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 22

If you happen to be in the flower or jewellery business, this is the best time of the year. Not only are we all supposed to be in love this week, we’re supposed to be demonstrating our feelings with gifts. Yet it’s a very particular kind of love that we’re called to celebrate. It doesn’t involve our parents, our siblings, our kids or our friends. Neither does it include love for our planet, nor the unconditional love that flows through the cosmos. Don’t overlook the depth of feelings you’re surrounded by today. Roses are red, violets are blue, for a romance prediction just for you, call 1900 959 005.

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

As dynamic Mars moves into sensual Taurus, it brings opportunities for healing. Past difficulties can be more easily resolved, awkward decisions can be faced, disputes can be put to one side. A pragmatic way to make progress towards your goal is being revealed. Even if Valentine’s Day doesn’t bring you romance in the classic way, it will provide you with evidence that you’re on the right path. If you find a way to touch someone’s heart today, the ramifications will unfold in a delightful way. Roses are red, violets are blue, for a romance prediction just for you, call 1900 959 005.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

Legend tells us that Valentine was a rebellious and brave priest in the time of the Emperor Claudius. He blessed Christian marriages, even though Christians were still being persecuted by the Emperor. So the story behind this day of flower buying and card sending is one of valour and courage. As Mars moves into sensual Taurus it empowers you with the self-belief to make a bold move you’ve only dared dream of making. Take advantage of this cosmic blessing. You won’t regret it.

Roses are red, violets are blue, for a romance prediction just for you, call 1900 959 005.

CANCER JUN 23 - JUL 23

We find it hard not to judge other people. Despite our best intentions, we seem to compare ourselves and draw conclusions. ‘Judge not and ye shall not be judged’ may sound like old fashioned teaching, but it’s just as relevant now as it ever was. We all recognise that smug sense of superiority, which is, on a deep level, so uncomfortable. Today though, we’re celebrating love. All you need do is be aware of your expectations. If you keep open-minded, you’ll be surprised, in a delightful way. Roses are red, violets are blue, for a romance prediction just for you, call 1900 959 005.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

Although feeling as if you have a date with fate is creating a degree of anxiety, in reality you’re just going to have a conversation. This is something you’ve done before and will, of course, do again. So, instead of thinking about meeting with someone as a test, think of it as an opportunity. While it’s true that a door has recently closed, you haven’t really had a chance to see what the next door has opened onto. Valentine’s Day brings a cosmic opportunity to truly flourish.

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

It starts at school. Just think of the millions of students, all being asked to wave their hands in the air when they know the answer. But what happens when we don’t know? There’s no formula for that. We simply sit, hoping that no one will notice our lack of response. We grow up thinking that ‘not knowing’ is a deficiency. But that’s not true. The space you’ve grown aware of in your life recently signals an opportunity, rather than a failing. The supportive cosmos is bringing what you need this Valentine’s Day. Roses are red, violets are blue, for a romance prediction just for you, call 1900 959 005.
