Valentine's Day: Dating in the Style of 12 Zodiac Signs
Welcome Valentine's Day with unique date ideas for the 12 zodiac signs to enjoy the most romantic day of the year with that special someone.
A classic and timeless Valentine’s Day date would be dressing up and enjoying a candlelit dinner at a fancy restaurant. But to make the celebration even sweeter, let the universe guide you through the magic of the 12 zodiac signs with interesting changes in the stars.
February 14th is Aquarius season in full swing, and while this zodiac sign's energy isn't typically the traditional romantic type of Valentine's Day, the season's vibes inspire creativity and innovation in dating styles for couples, giving them a new, more special feel than the typical date night.
Additionally, intellectual planet Mercury enters dreamy Pisces on Valentine’s Day this year, making last-minute plans a little more fluid and logistics a little hazy. If you’re planning an elaborate date, make sure you’ve thought out every detail and have a backup plan, as Mercury in this quirky water sign is not usually the best fit for clear thinking or strict schedules.
If you need some inspiration for February 14, check out these ideas for the best Valentine's Day date for each zodiac sign.
Aries - Relaxing spa day
As a Mars-ruled sign, Aries is naturally full of energy, so they’ll be thrilled with the idea of a relaxing spa day as a date. With love planet Venus currently in Aries, adding more romance than usual, and the Moon in your health-oriented sixth house, a healing, soothing activity like a couples massage, hot tub soak or facial will be perfect.
Taurus - Dancing
Taurus loves luxury, so a fancy restaurant or an expensive gift will always impress. But if you want to treat your date to something more exciting this Valentine’s Day, try taking your date to a dance class, such as salsa, ballroom dancing or tango. Couples dance classes are the perfect blend of intimacy and socializing, and with the Moon spending the day in your fun and creative fifth house, learning a new skill with your partner will add a spark to the relationship.
Gemini - Stay home and "chill"
The outgoing, quick-witted Gemini is one of the more social signs, so Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to surprise them with a cozy, private, intimate date at home. Since the Moon will be activating their fourth house of home, treating them to a home-cooked meal and cuddling up with a funny movie will be a sweet and much-appreciated change of pace.
Cancer - Discover delicious restaurants
Cancer is nostalgic by nature, and loves everything classic. That’s why a date at a quaint little-known eatery is the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day together. Try playing the tourist, going to a place recommended by the locals to enjoy some delicious food, have some fun, and make sure this sensitive water sign is comfortable and relaxed. With the Moon activating the social sign, fun is more appealing to Cancer than fussiness.
Leo - Lavish Night Party
The flashy Leo loves to be in the spotlight, so treating them to a lavish night where you can show off your lover is a surefire way to win their heart on Valentine’s Day. Leos love attention and want to feel like they are the center of the universe, so make reservations at a famous fancy restaurant or take them to a trendy spot and enjoy some fancy cocktails together. Any excuse for Leo to dress up and attract attention is a popular one.
Virgo - Romantic walk in the park
Virgos cherish the natural world, so a simple yet well-planned Valentine's Day date that allows you to share some time outdoors will feel especially romantic. Consider options like taking a walk in the park, picnicking in a scenic spot, or visiting a local farmers market, buying ingredients, and cooking a hearty dinner at home. Just be sure to double-check important factors like the weather, as Virgos are detail-oriented and will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Libra - Wine Tasting
Charming and aesthetically-minded Libras are ruled by the planet Venus, so taking them out for a romantic afternoon or evening of wine tasting is a classy, elegant Valentine's Day date that's sure to make their heart flutter. If your date isn't into wine, consider alternatives like beer, kombucha, or tea.
Scorpio - Participate in social events
Scorpios tend to be private, but that doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy being introduced to people. The Moon will be in their friendship zone on Valentine’s Day, so a fun social event like a date night could be just what they’re looking for. Whether it’s a concert or a themed dance party, two souls bonding in a crowd is more romantic than you might think.
Sagittarius - Pub Hanging
The free-spirited Sagittarius is one of those adventurous signs who loves any excuse to party. That’s why instead of going on a classic date, they’ll love hitting up multiple bars, especially during happy hour. Make a list of cocktail spots with great food and be prepared to hop from one bar to another with your Sagittarius on Valentine’s Day. Changing bars throughout the evening will keep the free-spirited Sagittarius interested all night long.
Capricorn - Museum Visit
Capricorns can be extremely practical, but they are also deep thinkers who appreciate complexity. With the Moon in their ninth house of knowledge and culture on Valentine’s Day, they will especially enjoy the idea of a date at an art gallery or museum. Looking at works of art together, sharing their views on art, discussing each other’s perspectives will be a fun way to stimulate the spirit of connection, and then the two of you can continue with a romantic dinner to elevate the atmosphere.
Aquarius - Fortune Teller
Aquarius is one of the most forward-thinking, nonconformist signs of the zodiac, so this eccentric air sign doesn't necessarily want the usual romance on Valentine's Day. That's why suggesting something quirky and unique, like getting your palm read or tarot cards read together, will grab Aquarius' attention. Plus, the Moon will be in their mysterious eighth house on the day, so Aquarius will be especially open to the occult.
Pisces - Art Workshop
Dreamy Pisces are naturally visionary, so the ideal Valentine’s Day date should capture their limitless imagination, allowing them to express their feelings through creativity. So, a fun, creative activity for couples like a pottery workshop, cooking class or jewelry making class is a great bonding idea. Not only will you get to spend quality time together, but you’ll also have a memento of your special day.
