What Your Sun Sign Has In the Cards for You This Valentine's Day
The Moon and amour! Explore how powerful lunar energies will influence your love life this Valentine's Day!



Aries

With the Moon in your travel zone this Valentine's Day, love is calling you from faraway lands. Think passport, overseas and exotic. In honor of Cupid's holiday, treat yourself to an amazing getaway you'll adore -- and preferably where the locals are equally adorable. Travel not only expands your mind, but could radically alter your love life if you play your cards right. With the Sun in your social sector and the Moon in fiery Sagittarius, the operative theme is fiesta! You'll happily choose illusions (what love affair isn't fraught with such?) over reality any day ... and especially under Neptune's strong auspices this Valentine's Day. Just be careful that you're not partying until he or she becomes cute, since by the end of the day, a Sagittarian lunar influence will douse you with its strong truth serum, straight up with no chaser. Are you ready to cut to the

Single? Let Your Sun Sign Guide You Towards Happiness This Valentine's Day!
It's an understatement to say that being single has its perks. After all, being single in itself is a perk! Self-love is a powerful form of romance -- and worth the same spirited celebration as any relationship.

There's no reason why this Valentine's Day shouldn't be an enjoyable one for you, even if you're unattached. Find your Sun sign below and learn why you'll make it great!

Aries
Because you're a sexy creature. And guess what? You can pursue however many love interests you wish. One, two, seven -- whatever suits your fancy. Your rules, your appetite.

Taurus

Because you can get your shop on. Shopping when you're single is divine. You can spend your own money the way you want, all without having to justify your purchases or answer to anyone. If you declare it a worthy buy, that's all that's necessary to make it so.

Gemini

Because you can relish in chick-flick mania without anyone making fun of it! You can Eat Pray Love your way through every episode and movie ever made about

Venus in Aries: Love at First Sight!
Are you a lover or a fighter? Venus, the goddess of beauty and love, enters fiery and aggressive Aries today, and your impulse control is likely to fly right out the window. This tumultuous transit continues through March 5, so date at your own risk over the next month!

Love at first sight is a natural phenomenon whenever Venus finds itself in a sign of such instant gratification as Aries. Just keep in mind that relationships that start too quickly often end in the same fashion. At the same time, if you're in the mood for an immediate, passion-driven, crash-and-burn love affair, this is certainly your time!

This may not be one of the most discriminating Venus transits when it comes to dating, mating and relating, but when it comes to fire, passion and even a bit of brimstone, you can count on Aries to create some serious sparks! Whenever Venus is in Aries, your instincts dominate as a sense of "now! now! now!" urgency taunts your ability to be patient.

How Open Are You to Ideas at Work? Check Your Sign!
Are you the kind of employee who seeks out someone -- a manager, a mentor, even a colleague -- who you think has all the answers? Or do you insist on figuring everything out on your own at work? Your Sun sign may hold the answer!


The signs most skeptical of having a work adviser are Taurus and Aries. Taurus thinks they can get by just fine on their own, while being subservient isn't in Aries's nature. Both these signs would make good mentors since they possess leadership potential. The problem is, neither one stands still long enough to gather a crowd!

Mars Retrograde: Hit the Brakes and Make Revisions!
Get ready to reflect and make important revisions to your life now that highly energized Mars has slowed to a stop and reversed direction! Mars goes retrograde once every 18 months for about three months at a time; in this instance, beginning this past Sunday, the warrior planet has turned retrograde in detail-oriented Virgo through April 14.

This period will call attention to lots of little things in your day-to-day existence. Precision will be key to how successfully you command your life until mid-April. Expect delays on many of your projects and plans, so use this extra time to review the myriad details of your life.

Energy levels are likely to fluctuate during this time, so when inspiration strikes, be sure to go for it! On the other hand, if your motivation seems to be at a low ebb, don't hesitate to rest.

If you're feeling cut off from inspiration and simple pleasures, get yourself some new art supplies, take a trip or simply go dancing. Fire signs love action in all forms -- just be sure to indulge in impulses that are free-spirited rather than immature.
