The Valentine You Need This February (Based On Your Birth Month)

Aries

Aries, you’re looking to meet your match. For a Valentine that isn’t going to be intimidated or afraid of the energy you bring to your relationships. You want witty banter, passionate debate, and heated rivalry. Your ideal date is someone who could face a new challenge head on and give it their best without worrying about failing or looking silly. Salsa dancing, axe throwing, or pottery classes are the types of dates that will really let the type of chemistry you’re looking for thrive.

Taurus

Taurus, you’re looking for a Valentine who has good taste. You wouldn’t be caught dead in a chain restaurant, anywhere too touristy, or near a cheesy instagram photo-op. You want luxury. You want quality. You want something and someone with real undeniable value that stands out among the pack. Who fits you like a tailored jacket or leather glove. And even though you love leisure and relaxation, you’re willing to get up off your butt and put in the effort. Because you know true things of value can only be acquired through hard work.

Gemini

Gemini, you’re looking for a multi-faceted Valentine. Someone complex enough to compliment the dichotomy that is you. A partner who has their own interests, hobbies, and friends and won’t lose themselves in yours, but also knows how to unwind and recharge their batteries. You want someone who will be able to offer you stimulation and comfort in turn.

Cancer

Cancer, you’re looking for a Valentine who knows how to take things slow. You’ve put yourself out there and know the ups and downs of the dating world. You don’t believe in love at first sight and instead are looking for a rapport that is built over time. The true experience of getting to know and care for someone as you learn who they are. You want to be seen in the same way, for exactly who you are, and not who someone imagines you could be in the haze of lust. Someone whose shared realism provides you with a sense of reliability.

Leo

Leo, you are looking for a Valentine who will worship you. You want to be adored and idolized. You want to sit pretty and let someone come to you. To be chased and pursued. You want to play hard to get. Not just because you love the drama and excitement, which you do, but because you want to know that this person is capable of dedication. In your social world, there is no end to beautiful and interesting people, so when someone approaches you romantically, you want to be sure they’re really committed.

Virgo

Virgo, you want a Valentine who will play by your rules, who follows your system. It’s a (read: the only) way of doing things you’ve perfected over time, and this person needs to accept that fully otherwise you won’t ever be able to truly relax around them. But once the laundry is done and your socks and towels are folded correctly, then you can get into the right mindset to open up emotionally and build that sense of intimacy you crave above everything.

Libra

Libra, you’re looking for a Valentine who is the yin to your yang. The person who will challenge you to get outside your comfort zone and show you what you’ve been missing, but also the person who will appreciate and value your own unique strengths. If you’re the planner, you’re looking for someone who will bring spontaneity and enthusiasm to the plans you’ve made. If you’re a social butterfly, you’re looking for the person you can feel comfortable with in silence. At the end of the day, you’re looking for someone you can grow with—together.

Scorpio

Scorpio, you’re looking for a Valentine to seduce. Someone you can entice physically, emotionally, and mentally. You want to feel that tangible spark that occurs when someone picks up what you’re throwing down. Because that response gives you confidence, and reminds you of all the things you love about yourself. The best feeling your partner will evoke is not the momentary high of conquest but the lasting effects of validation. Savor it, you don’t always have to be the giver.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius, you’re looking for a Valentine that is the opposite of basic. You want love to be an adventure, something out of a book, something exotic, something that has to be sought out and fought for, not something you find next door. You don’t want to end up with someone who is complacent or looking to follow the norm. You need a partner who knows how to nurture passion and keep your chemistry alive. Someone who is sentimental and wants to make all your shared dreams come true. 

Capricorn

Capricorn you’re looking for a Valentine who is ready for commitment. You don’t want to waste time on something that isn’t going to last and need someone who has the same mindset. Someone who is really putting thought into what they’re looking for, and not just “seeing how it goes”. You want someone who sets goals, and is constantly evaluating progress against them. Your perfect match is someone who wants to conquer the world hand in hand and knows what it’ll take to get there.

Aquarius

Aquarius, you’re looking for a Valentine who will break the norms with you. Antiquated notions of what romance looks like give you the ick, and you’re looking for someone to define what a real partnership can be when it’s built by equals. Your partner has done the work to get to know themselves and grow as an individual, and they’re ready to share themselves with and cherish another human being, as messy and complex as that may be. Their realistic expectations of you will feel liberating, and you’ll never forget to appreciate them for it.

Pisces

Pisces, you’re looking for a Valentine who will be your rock. Someone who will anchor your flighty imagination without dragging you to the ground. Someone too similar may neglect the day to day, but your intuition paired with some pragmatism has the ability to make anything possible. Your partner will encourage you to start that business you dreamed up, build that house you designed, paint that mural you sketched. Because they’ll be able to visualize what all of your best ideas could look like in the real world.
