Zodiac signs determine love compatibility by analysing the inherent traits associated with each sign, considering how well these traits might complement or clash with the traits of another sign.
The star sign is commonly used as a starting point for assessing potential compatibility with another person.
As for being lucky or unlucky in love, Joanne Jones, an Astrologer at Trusted Psychics, says some zodiac signs are poised for romantic bliss. In contrast, others may need to navigate a few celestial challenges regarding romance this February.
“Valentine’s Day is a time of heightened emotions and romantic gestures, but astrology tells us that not all star signs will experience the same cosmic favour.
“This year’s planetary movements offer some fascinating insights into love’s ups and downs, with some star signs basking in the glow of romance, while others may experience hurdles.”
The Trusted Physics Astrologer claimed that zodiac signs Taurus, Cancer, and Pisces have romance on the horizon.
Taurus
Those linked to the Taurus star sign (born between April 20 to May 20) are influenced by Venus, the planet of love. Joanne said: “Venus, your ruling planet, is working in your favour this year, bringing harmony and affection into your relationships.”
She noted that you can “expect heartfelt connections and meaningful gestures from loved ones”.
Cancer
The Cancer star sign is linked to those born between June 21 and July 22. Joanne said: “With the moon amplifying your emotional depth, this Valentine’s Day could bring beautiful moments of intimacy and emotional fulfilment with your partner, or see a casual fling become something much more real.”
Pisces
For those born under Pisces (February 19 to March 20), love is influenced by Neptune, the planet of inspiration. The astrologer said: “As the dreamer of the zodiac, Neptune’s influence is enhancing your romantic fantasies, so expect magically romantic encounters straight out of a rom-com, as well as deep emotional connections.”
Not all 12 zodiac signs will fare well in their love life this month. Joanne warned that three could be “unlucky” regarding their romantic relationships. According to Joanne, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius, this Valentine’s Day could be conflicted.
Gemini
Known as an air sign, Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac, with dates between May 21 and June 21. The actual dates of when the sun enters each zodiac sign can vary slightly due to the Earth’s axial tilt and orbital eccentricity; for example, Gemini was between May 20 and June 20, 2024.
Joanne warned that this February, with Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, communication hurdles may dampen Gemini’s usual charm and grace. She noted, “Patience and clarity with your partners will be essential.”
Virgo
Those linked to Virgo (born between August 23 and September 22) may reconsider romantic connections this February. The astrologer said: “Perfectionist Virgos may feel particularly frustrated in their romantic pursuits this Valentine’s, as Venus squares Saturn.
“It can help to take a step back to reassess your priorities, such as what truly matters to you in a partner and what would or wouldn’t be a dealbreaker.”
Sagittarius
Sagittarians (born November 22 to December 21) could feel conflicted this Valentine’s, caught between freedom and the need for connection. Joanne said: “Balance is key, so don’t get too caught up in tricky situations and focus on relationships that serve you well.”
