Your Horoscope for Valentine's Day 2026

Pull out all the pink, red, and conversation hearts because Valentine's Day is basically here! On February 14, our hearts and minds will be open to love. The Moon will be in Capricorn, urging us to lean into our earthly desires through indulgence and decadence. We work hard, so it’ll urge us to play hard, too.

The caveat to all of these lovey-dovey vibes? Mercury in Pisces is in the midst of its pre-retrograde shadow, which began on February 11, with its full moonwalk starting on February 26. Therefore, unforeseen issues may stand in your way this Valentine's Day, so you should prepare for the unexpected: double-check reservations made online, anticipate undelivered or mixed up flower orders, and plan the date accordingly to the vibe.

However, there is hope! Venus will be in tender, moody Pisces, allowing us to swim to the deep end of the romantic ocean and feel the warmth of connection. This can go extra far with gifts for your boo that are meaningful, spiritual, nostalgic, and full of thoughtfulness. Whether it be a favorite home cooked meal, a piece of jewelry that sparks memories, or a screening of an old school movie, activities that enrich our souls and comfort levels are ideal.

Keep reading below for how this Valentine's Day will impact your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs.

A mandatory professional meeting might keep you late from celebrating the holiday with the person you admire most. Do not immediately despair; you will have plenty of time to kick back and pop the bubbly on Valentine's Day if you plan accordingly. Make sure you end the work event early.

Perhaps a moment of solitude to unwind with or without your crush in a remote cabin in the woods, surrounded by snow and nature, is how you'll prefer to honor the holiday. Finding peace of mind is pivotal, as you want to disconnect from external noise and center your energy.

Be careful, because a power struggle with your boo that’s been brewing might make you feel as though you're not being seen or taken seriously on Valentine's Day. Before having a mega argument, take a step back and try to express yourself and make the best out of the situation.

Because you've been desperate for one-on-one time with your significant other, due to conflicting schedules, you'll find that Valentine's Day is the ultimate moment for both of you to connect intimately. Plan a romantic candlelit dinner in a posh, quiet restaurant so you can talk and enjoy each other’s company.

It's party time! That's right, Leo, you're inviting everyone you know to a soirée to commemorate love. Whether your guests are single or not, you want to throw the ultimate mixer to honor friends and coworkers you care about. The point is to help people meet, connect, and form bonds.

If you find yourself daydreaming about your ex, give yourself a wake-up call by remembering the bad times, even though you're focusing on the good ones. Don't dwell on the past; meet someone new via apps or at happy hour. Use your rose-colored glasses to focus on the present.

Although your heart beats faster than usual on Valentine's Day, you desire a chill day and evening at home, with amazing food and sexual experimentation (trying out your partner’s kinks). You may not leave your bed, except to accept the delivery of treats—from sex toys to lube to pizza.

No matter what happens, don't lose your cool. There may be a series of problems, like your date having the flu and canceling, the table you requested being delayed, or the entrée being out of stock. Compromise and a chill demeanor are pivotal. Life happens when you’re making other plans.

You might become a little competitive with the presents you're giving and receiving. The day isn’t about who gifted it better; it's about the love you have for each other. Everything else is second. Detach from the money aspect and DIY items to maintain a better perspective about what’s important.

You may get in your head a little too much because you want to impress your baewith an exceptional Valentine's Day. This mindset is where our problems happen. As long as you're together and don't have any expectations, everything will work out fine. The day has many possibilities, embrace them.

Take a power nap before heading out with your besties for Galentine's Day. Yes, you have options to spend Valentine's with, but you're longing to be with your squad and have many giggles. First comes your crew and then your date. Make memories by doing something out of the ordinary.

If a friend doesn't have anything to do, you'll invite them along for the ride. Three may be a crowd for some, but for you, it’ll be a lot of fun. Your date won’t object, as they will sympathize with the situation and think you are extremely kind and empathetic.
