What's Written in the Stars For You This Month? Check Out Your February Love Horoscope

07/02/2020 - 05:15 PM

February is the month of love . . . or is it? While many of us are in a Valentine's Day-induced bliss [1], the stars aren't as focussed on love as we may hope. As the planets move into more "me-centric" zodiac signs this month (Venus will move into impulsive and self-centreed Aries, and Mars will enter power hungry and logical Capricorn), February will take on a much more personal, self-care tone. We've also got the first Mercury retrograde of 2020 [2] starting February 17, which is bound to mess up some relationship talks.

POPSUGAR spoke with Mackenzie Greer, founder of Mack and the Zodiac [3] and daily astrologer for SunSigns.com [4], to get a full understanding of what's in store for us in February. According to Greer, "Relationships take on an intense tone [this month], one requiring honest evaluations, powerful compulsions, and heightened sex drives. Expect to keep it real and break down any barriers if you wish to progress the partnership forward."

All in all, you'll be less likely to view your loved one through heart-shaped lenses and will focus more on rediscovering your own needs in relationships. Keep reading to see your specific sign [5]'s love horoscope for February.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

No one can resist your charm this month, thanks to Venus moving into your sign. And because your ruling planet, Mars, enters Capricorn on Feb. 16, "your public visibility is about to get a power boost," explained Greer. "It's a strong month to be seen and well-received, so put yourself out there to reap the rewards!"

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Because Venus is moving into a sign that's opposite you, you're not feeling too on top of your romance game. "This placement isn't the sexiest for you," said Greer. Instead, it'll cause you to focus on your own toxic habits and self-sabotageing behaviours. "If partnered up, expect to be doing a deep dive into the work," she said. "If single, expect to be mulling over ghosts of relationship's past in private."

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Venus moving into Aries is going to kickstart your energy. "You may even discover you have feelings for someone you thought was just a friend [6]," said Greer. "The place to find love will be out in the world in active, fun environments — so don't keep yourself cooped up."

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Have you been wanting to ask someone on a date? Get your phone out and text them, because this is the best month to go for it! With Venus in Aries highlighting your public reputation, "it's a great time for people to take notice of you" said Greer. "Mars in Capricorn funnels energy towards your relationships — for better or worse."

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Fights, bickering, and miscommunications are coming out, Leo. "Expect partnership drama to be at a peak, but be willing to see what the deeper story is beneath it all," Greer revealed. "The full moon on Feb. 9 highlights the divide between you as an individual and you within your relationships."

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Turn up the heat — things are about to get real. According to Greer, February "is the most romantically charged month of the year for you." Thanks to Venus moving into a deep dive section of your chart, you'll explore "your feelings around intimacy, sex, and shared resources."

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You'll be pulled in opposite directions in love as Venus slides into your opposing sign: Aries. "If single, your appetite for finding love deepens, but beware of surrendering everything on your quest for partnership satisfaction," warned Greer. "If you're in a relationship, this is likely to be an easy going and sweet month ahead together."

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You're a sign that enjoys diving into your psyche — and this month, as Mars moves into Capricorn, you'll be deeper than ever. "February is a vulnerable time for you, so relationships may not be first and foremost on your mind," said Greer. Mars in Capricorn is "ramping your desire to share your thoughts and voice your opinions, so if anything, it's an ideal time to express what you've been going through to a loved one."

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Get ready for happy hour dates galore. This month sees tons of fun and childlike whimsy in your love life — making you the life of the party. "Venus in Aries brings a positive boost to your sex life and attracts potential partners to you," according to Greer.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

While Venus in Aries will make you want to cosy up at home and "Netflix and chill," Mars brings a whole different energy to the table. "Mars moves into your sign on Feb. 16th, bringing a vibrant, fresh boost of energy to your self expression," said Greer. "You're feeling ready to go after whoever or whatever it is you desire."

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

What do you need in your relationships? Venus in Aries is here to help you concentrate on that question, but also express the answer to your loved one. Thanks to Venus, "you'll get all the help you need to share what's been on your mind," said Greer. "Your voice has an added charisma this month, so it's an ideal time to tell someone how you feel about them."

Pisces (Feb. 18-March 20)

As Venus leaves Pisces to travel into Aries on Feb. 7, your attention turns away from someone else and back to the most important person: you. This movement "helps you to fall in love with your own self-worth," according to Greer. "It's time to honour the parts of yourself that go underutilised." She added: "It's a less romantic time of year for you, as you're much more focussed on learning to give yourself the love and respect you deserve, before giving it away to someone else."
