Aries (March 21-April 19)

Who will be your valentine this month, Aries? For quite some time now, you have been looking for that certain someone to fill the empty slots in your schedule. Whether it’s a romantic partner or a new friend, you can bet on having a truly electric encounter with someone in February. Try not to rush into things too early in this budding relationship. Time will allow this partnership to flourish!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

February will be full of twists and turns in your personal life. I won’t lie, the beginning of this month may not be too enjoyable. Issues with partners or wavering confidence in yourself may arise. Take away that ‘why me?’ mindset and instead use your energy to analyze this trouble — maybe it’s time to shed the dead weight. However, do not fret; your steadfast nature will guide you to happier times toward the end of the month. Look forward to new beginnings. 

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

I know you’re going through it right now, fellow Gemini. The last few months have used up all of your energy. In these times, self-care is your best friend! Treat yourself to an overpriced latte or Twilight Saga marathon on Valentine’s Day. Although it may not solve all your problems, little practices like these will certainly get you through the day. You got this!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Let’s face it Cancer, you love love. The plethora of chocolate boxes and stuffed animals lining the aisles of Target fill your heart with glee. It’s not just the material side of Valentine’s Day that you like but also the sense of belonging it brings. Your big heart was made to be shared with someone else. So, whether you’re taken or hopelessly single, you’ll certainly enjoy the season ahead. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Take a look at what’s holding you back in your relationships, Leo. The holiday ahead has presented you with a unique opportunity for reflection when it comes to who you love and who loves you. Are you receiving the love you deserve? Better yet, are you allowing yourself to receive that love? Don’t be afraid to put your needs first. Remember that the ones closest to you will love you for who you are.  

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Love may not be the first thing on your mind. You’re focusing on yourself and your needs right now — call that self-love! Your independent nature may not be seen as conventional during a season all about partnership, but you make it work. You may find yourself craving to break free from anything holding you down. This is your sign to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and go for what you truly want. 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Valentine’s Day has made you reminisce about the past more than ever before. Are you thinking about an old friend you haven’t spoken to in awhile? Or maybe the one that got away? New feelings toward these relationships have revealed a sense of longing. Use this month to meaningfully reconnect with those you miss the most. They may be thinking about you, too!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Love is in the air — and so is change! Whether that be switching up your daily routine, a new relationship blossoming or potential opportunities revealing themselves, start preparing yourself. Remember to uphold your desires and goals during this pivotal time in your life. It will be easy for you to embrace these exciting developments. Flexible is your middle name, after all. 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Creative opportunities are headed your way. You may be ready to start (or finish) that artsy project that’s been weighing heavily on your mind. New opportunities will also present themselves in your love life just in time for Valentine’s Day. You never know, you might recognize yourself in a Mizzou Missed Connections post — or even submit your own. 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

An exhilarating January has transitioned into a more mundane February for you, Capricorn. You finally have a chance to assess your surroundings in the new year. How are those resolutions holding up? I won’t judge you if they’re already long forgotten, but perhaps February can be your month to finally figure out what you want this year. 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your bed is feeling more comfortable than ever right now. Instead of pulling the covers over your head when the sun rises, sit up and embrace the warmth. It’s time to wake up! February will bring a new sense of clarity in your relationships, so you must act now to get what you want. Maybe that means taking the next step in a relationship or starting to focus on finding yourself. 

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your Valentine’s Day will focus on platonic relationships more than romantic ones. It’s obvious that friendship means the world to you, gentle Pisces. Perhaps take more time this month to let your friends know how much you truly care about them. Write them a heartfelt note or take them out to eat! With this extra care will come the sweet presence of happiness and joy in your life. Romance can wait.
