As messenger planet Mercury strikes into delicate Pisces this Valentine’s Day, JEMIMA CAINER says embrace the facility of affection – it doesn’t matter what your romantic place

Valentine’s Day doesn’t always hold astrological significance. Every year, the chart for any given day will be unique. Today, though, messenger planet Mercury moves into sensitive, sweet Pisces. 

In doing so, it inspires us to send a love note to ourselves and to celebrate those people in our lives who hold our hearts with care and respect. 

Symbology is essential to astrology and the emblems of hearts, cupids and roses at this time of year are a reminder of the power of love – no matter what your current romantic position.

ARIES

TAURUS 

(April 21 – May 21)

Writers, philosophers and psychologists have been fascinated by love for a long time. Recently, the idea of ‘love languages’ has become a popular theory to describe how we interact. Taureans, of course, know that love needs to involve all the senses to be truly meaningful. A pick-and-mix approach just won’t do for the most sensual sign of the zodiac. Today, as Mercury enters Pisces, you might find that there are more people on your page when it comes to romance than you thought.

GEMINI 

(May 22 – June 22)

It’s not always the words people use to communicate a message that makes the difference, but how it is delivered. Sometimes, the less said the better. Your ruling planet moves into sentimental Pisces today and supports you to show somebody just how much you appreciate them. You don’t have to be a poet to demonstrate your depth of feeling or buy the biggest bunch of flowers you can find. Today, real meaning comes from the heart. Show up and show you care.

CANCER 

(June 23 – July 23)

When they get to a reflective stage in life, people lament much more about the things they didn’t do than those they tried that didn’t work out. You’re rightly protective of your heart. Today, though, a conversation with somebody close to you might reassure you that opening up is not as scary as it might seem. As Mercury moves into Pisces, if you let down your guard just enough, you might discover that true strength lies in allowing others to truly see the real you.

LEO 

(July 24 – August 23)

Is love about grand gestures or the quiet, intimate moments that we often overlook? Today, as Mercury moves into Pisces, it reminds you that the most profound expressions of love can be as simple as a kind word. You are a loyal and caring person with a heart of gold. Wherever you choose to radiate your light today is a lucky place for people to be. You don’t have to try too hard today to make a big difference in the heart of somebody very special.

VIRGO 

(August 24 – September 23)

Many Virgos show their affection through acts of service. They appreciate being loved like this in return. But you have a big enough heart to see love in whatever form it comes. When it comes to your feelings, you’re much more open than you let on. Today, as Mercury moves into your opposite sign of Pisces, it opens a topic for discussion that offers you greater understanding within a relationship. Could releasing your expectations bring you closer to someone in a way you didn’t anticipate?

LIBRA 

(September 24 – October 23)

What’s the most meaningful way to show love? Today, it’s not about big gestures or grand declarations but the quiet, thoughtful ways you show you care. We live in a lonely world; offering someone your undivided attention, listening deeply and responding from the heart make all the difference. Magic happens in these moments. You might feel the tiny things you do every day to show you care go unnoticed. They are deeply appreciated by those who recognise real value.

SCORPIO 

(October 24 – November 22)

When we close our hearts to protect ourselves from heartache, we also prevent ourselves from fully giving love. Today, as Mercury enters Pisces, it inspires you to open up just enough to let your beautiful light shine out. You don’t have to choose between feeling protected and giving love. You can keep yourself safe and still be available for what is on offer. Sharing love is brave and, by revealing more of yourself, you may inspire someone to do the same.

SAGITTARIUS 

(November 23 – December 21)

Love comes in many forms – but it’s always an adventure worth taking. There is no such thing as a waste of time when it comes to matters of the heart. The light you shine and the love you are capable of giving so generously is part of what makes you so lovable and appealing. Don’t hold back from being honest about how you feel today or hesitate to show you care. Even if you don’t immediately find reciprocation, the universe will respond in kind.

CAPRICORN 

(December 22 – January 20)

Wouldn’t it make sense to treat emotional transactions with more of a business-minded approach? You may wish you could get on board with such a sentiment, but you’re just as romantic as the rest of us. In fact, nothing fills your heart with more hope than an ideal partnership. Sadly, there is no such thing as perfect when it comes to love. Today, being grateful for love however you find it will invite the cosmos to send you more of the good stuff.

What happens when you let your authentic self really shine? When you express how you feel? Today, the cosmos encourages you to be brave enough to show a little vulnerability and open up about what you need. Today, as Mercury, the planet of communication enters Pisces, it supports you to share what lies deep within your heart. This transit is helping you to discuss your vision of the future with someone who really matters and appreciates you for who you truly are.

PISCES 

(February 20 – March 20)

You Pisceans are deeply loving folk. Sometimes you can get so lost in making sure that others have what they need, that you forget to focus on what really brings you a sense of peace and security. How often do you take the time you need to offer yourself the same impeccable compassion you give to others? Today, as Mercury enters your sign, you are inspired to think more about what it is you actually require and to focus your energy on doing what makes you happy in this world.
