The Most Romantic Day This Month Has Nothing To Do With Valentines

What happens days after Feb. 14 will be even more special.

by Chelsea Jackson

The most lovey-dovey month of the year is upon us. But if you’re expecting romance to hit an all-time high on Valentine’s Day, you’re mistaken. Two days later, on Feb. 16, Venus will conjoin Mars in Capricorn, intensifying your desire for connection and intimacy while the full moon in Leo looms overhead.

Here’s what every zodiac sign can expect on this special day:

Aries

On Feb. 16, you could have an increased desire to pursue a romantic relationship with someone in your profession, or simply work closely with a colleague on a new business project. Either way, it’ll be nearly impossible to separate your work from your personal relationships on this day.

Your desire to connect with your partner through newfound belief systems or travel plans will intensify in a way that prioritizes powerful intimacy. Feb. 16 is a great day to bond with others over your spiritual practices, or to broaden your horizons via a spontaneous trip. Either way, you’ll be eager to get to know your partner better.

Your connection with a special someone will deepen on Feb, 16. While this relationship may be filled with passion on this day, it’ll be important for you not to compromise your boundaries for the sake of anyone. It’ll be easy to allow your desires to get the best of you, but it’s essential that you don’t make any sudden moves based on temporary feelings.

Your desire for romantic partnership will be intensified on Feb. 16. So much so, that it could be very easy to get carried away in something way before you’re ready. While the potential relationship may be off to a very exciting start, it’s important to pace yourself. Take it slow. If they’re meant for you, they won’t be going anywhere.

Leo

On Feb. 16, your desire for productivity will be intensified. While this is an excellent day to cross things off of your to-do list, be sure not to overdo it. Your relationship to your sense of self is being highlighted right now, so it makes sense for you to feel the pressure. Today’s a great day for you to reflect on how you’ve been showing up for yourself lately.

Things are speeding up in your love life leading up to Feb. 16, so be sure to use your discernment before making any impulsive moves. You tend to be a patient person, but your desires will be impossible to ignore on this day. While leaning into your fun side is essential, try not to overdo it. There is such a thing as too much fun.

Libra

You’ll be feeling much more aggressive than usual on Feb. 16, specifically in the area of home and family. Whether you’re bringing your partner home to meet the fam or you’re discussing moving in together, your desire to connect your partner with your roots will be increased.

Scorpio

On Feb. 16, the important conversations you’re having in your partnerships will be intensified. It’ll be incredibly important for you to watch your words, because it will be a lot easier to say things in the heat of the moment — good or bad.

Your desire to spend money will be heightened on Feb. 16. You’ll also feel more generous than usual. While this is generally a good thing, it’ll be important not allow yourself to go overboard. Spoil yourself and your loved ones in moderation, if you can.

Capricorn

On Feb. 16, you’ll have an intense desire to self-indulge. This will be a time when you’ll be far more prone to aggressively pursuing your desires, so it’ll be important to pace yourself. Try not to get distracted obsessing over things that will only bring you short-term pleasure.

You’ll be prompted to reflect on your desires — and whether or not they support you or work against you — on Feb. 16. While this transit may not be the most optimistic, you will definitely realize some important things about how you pursue pleasure in your life.

Pisces

Your desire to connect with your alliances will be amplified on Feb. 16. While this can allow you to deepen your bond with your friends, it can also heighten your aggression, so be mindful of potentially coming on too strong.
