Stars Align: Feb. 8-15, horoscopes for love

It’s officially Valentine’s Day week, and the cosmos are busy lining up a story for each sign's love life. 

On Feb. 6, Mercury, the planet of the mind, fell into Pisces, heightening intuition and prompting reflection of past romantic experiences. The messenger planet’s position in Pisces begs you to slow down, take note of your wants and desires, and welcome in the Valentine’s Day magic. 

The truth will be obvious this week. Listen to your gut and ride the waves, as the next time Mercury is set to make a shift will be into retrograde Feb. 26. 

Also, framing the week of love is Venus’ position in Pisces beginning Feb. 10. Love has few or no barriers when Venus is in this dreamy sign. Our desires point toward deep connections, valuing romance, as boundaries blur this week and gut feelings take the lead. 

Cupid’s arrows are flying, Valentine’s Day is approaching, bringing love and light for the zodiacs. 

Here are the love horoscope predictions for Feb. 9-15, 2026: 

Aries (March 21-April 19):

You may crave alone time more than usual this week as private emotions and feelings come to the surface. Take time to journal and process before going on your Valentine’s Day date. With your focus inward, expect harmony in your romantic or familial relationships. Your practical approach to life and love will bring balance to your week. 

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Taurus, you may feel you have outgrown relationships in love or friendship this week. The Cosmos pushes you to have honest conversations, so sit down with your situationship and define your relationship, or leave them high and dry. It’s time to rid yourself of “what ifs.”

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Pay attention to romantic connections that could spark from casual places, Gemini. This week, love will find you in spaces where you are already comfortable. Someone you know may be crushing on you. This week, chase adventure and focus on saying “yes” to more experiences. 

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Focus on your inner needs and march to the beat of your own drum in love. You may feel more sensitive than usual this week, and now is a good time to express what you truly need to those you love. Have hard conversations with your partner and reveal what you need to say. Redefining your boundaries helps your relationships blossom, Cancer. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Love is in the air for you, Leo. Romantic energy is strong around you, and for singles, this week may bring you a new fling. Stay open to unexpected connections, attraction is most likely to come from someone opposite of your typical type. Focus on growing your own confidence and maintaining your magnetic energy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Virgo, pay attention to the people and spaces that spark meaningful conversations. This week is a time to focus on intimacy rather than whether your relationship or crush meets your idealized standards. Take the time to break down your walls and focus on emotional honesty. This week, love deepens for you through shared moments. 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

For you, single Libras, a friendship sparks into something more this week. Express your feelings, Libra, and push yourself to share your truth, as this brings new relationships forward. For those coupled up, this week will bring a sense of peace to your relationship, and all will feel perfectly aligned.  

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Scorpio, you don’t always need a plan in love. For you, love can often feel confusing and enticing, but surrender to it, let the universe guide you. This week, your past will resurface as someone re-enters your life with force. Go after them, Scorpio, send them a valentine. This is your chance to make moves in love you’ve been avoiding. 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Relationships will feel more secure this week after open conversations. Focus on trust in your relationships and nurture those you keep close. This week, make a grand gesture and take the lead in your love life. You will only get what you give, Sagittarius. 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

This week, Capricorn, you need to lay it all out there. The universe is begging you to share your feelings and desires directly and talk about what and who you want. Buy some flowers and ask them to be yours this Valentine’s Day; love and honesty will only bring you stronger connections. 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

For you, sweet Aquarius, relationships can only deepen with self-understanding. This week, don’t focus on who will be your Valentine, instead make yourself your crush and let go of old habits. You can only welcome in romantic energy if you create habits for a healthier relationship. Self-love sets the tone for all. 

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Be gentle with yourself this week, Pisces, as Mercury’s position can cause extra sensitivity and confusion. Focus on using your words to express yourself, even if your feelings don’t quite make sense. Surround yourself with positivity from friends or loved ones and embrace the day of love, as it will bring you intense feelings and desires.
