Weekly Love Horoscope for February 17th – 23rd

Hello sweethearts, and welcome to the weekly love horoscope reading for February 17th – 23rd. This is the week when Sun enters Pisces, Neptune is conjunct the North Node and Mercury in Pisces is semi sextile Venus in Aries.

With Mars in Cancer there’s a decidedly watery emphasis resulting in a rather mystical feel to this week. There’s something a little bit ethereal. Your spidey senses may be alerting you that there is a poignant and delicate yet undeniable air of expectation.

It’s almost as if you can sense that something is brewing, something’s about to happen. It feels like a pregnant pause before everything springs into action.

With Mercury in Pisces square Jupiter, this cycle favors going with the flow and feeling your way along rather than assuming an analytical or cerebral approach; not that you must be mindless.

In fact, being mindful is an essential ingredient for getting the most out of this time; it means being aware without making any judgments. Then you respond to whatever the situation necessitates. It typically is a reactive mode, but you are following the lead that life extends.

This week is not necessarily one where an awful lot happens. We have Mercury is a lazy semi sextile to Venus in Aries which is a fairly loving and laid-back placement, great for romantic juices to flow and for heart-to-heart conversations, however, there’s nothing particularly daring. Mars is in Cancer, which is also rather reticent about big decisions.

So, the key this week, everyone, is to be patient, be observant, and understand that although a lot is happening, it’s not apparent yet exactly how it’s all going to take shape.

Here’s Your Weekly Love Horoscope for February 17th – 23rd:

Aries: Higher Consciousness

The activation of Jupiter in Gemini by Mercury represents a perfect time for you to get away from it all. This is ideal for all those Aries who’ve booked a holiday, particularly to places involving a lot of culture and sightseeing but also holidays that are very relaxing, like chilling by the beach, going fishing, or sailing. What does this mean for you and your life?

It’s a good time to reflect. This is an awesome time of the year to slow down the pace, dial back on all the ambition or planning, and try to let your inner voice shine through.

Allow messages to come from the universe. Definitely pay attention to signals and coincidences. This period is rich with information coming from your higher consciousness, so be alert to it because it’ll help you stay on the right track in your love relationship and also in your career.

Relationships may seem hazy now, with boundaries becoming less clear. While this can lead to a dreamy, romantic atmosphere, it also carries the risk of disillusionment if you’re not seeing things as they truly are.

Be mindful of idealizing your partner or projecting your desires onto them. This is a good time to release unrealistic expectations and appreciate your loved ones for who they genuinely are. By letting go of illusions, you’ll create space for a deeper, more authentic connection that can grow stronger over time.

Taurus: Opacity 

Now, for Taurus, this is a complex and intriguing week. Mercury in Pisces square Jupiter in Gemini can mean the people you normally trust and rely on disappoint you. It’s important to understand who your friends are and who is gossiping behind your back or letting you down.

While good friendships are strengthened, supportive, and loving, many other friendships that just don’t hack it may fade away. That is why it’s so important not to get into friends-with-benefits style relationships right now because that could be a bad idea.

Overall, in terms of relationships and dating, it’s very important to be a good listener. Not just because it’s polite and helps the relationship flow, but because you need to clock everything about your partner.

Sometimes what he says isn’t really what he’s thinking, and you have to work out the fine line between fact and fiction. He’s not necessarily trying to be dishonest, but he’s more opaque. You need subtlety and sensitivity to get a full understanding of what’s going on.

Gemini: A friend in need

Mercury is square Jupiter, which represents your sphere of committed relationships and ongoing partnerships. This often means you will play a supportive role to your partner, either emotionally or in some other way.

Your partner needs you right now, and that can be very gratifying because a lot of Gemini find it helpful to express their love by doing practical and thoughtful things. You may enjoy it if your partner is in need.

They say a friend in need is a friend indeed, and that is true in love and marriage. Right now, showing love is about being kind, diplomatic, understanding, and giving practical help.

In new love relationships, things are off to a quick start, and a new lover may be quite romantic in a traditional sense, really spoiling you. This kind of tenderness can draw you into a relationship even with someone you wouldn’t have thought you’d like.

You’re in a powerful phase where love can transform and heal. Whether you’re starting a new relationship or deepening an existing one, your connections now have the potential to bring profound personal growth.

Relationships that lack meaning may fall away, but those that are built on true understanding will grow stronger. Embrace the changes that come with love, knowing they will lead you to deeper fulfillment.

Cancer: Playing to your strengths

For Cancer Mercury semisextile Venus and Mars going stationary is definitely a sign that you are able to play to your strengths. You win when you are diplomatic, drive a hard bargain, and show tenderness while also being strong.

Right now is a perfect time for Cancer to be extremely constructive in taking relationships forward but also in laying strong foundations for better communication in a relationship.

Love right now is not necessarily about intimacy, going away together, or kindness. It’s really about understanding your strengths as a couple or your strengths as a partner and making sure the relationship benefits from those strengths.

Don’t hide your light under a bushel. If you feel you’re in a relationship that’s forcing you to be someone you aren’t, it’s definitely a time to seriously reconsider or reconstruct the relationship.

Relationships may face challenges that push you to confront the truth of your emotions. Whether it’s the end of a connection that no longer serves you or the beginning of something new, honesty will guide you through. Love that survives this period will emerge stronger and more authentic, grounded in the reality of who you are and what you truly need.

Leo: Whimsical 

Mercury in Pisces square Jupiter is decidedly creative. Leo are far more likely to feel whimsical and playful. In relationships, it’s important to do something that is inspiring and fun, something you really look forward to.

If it’s just a really casual, boring date, perhaps say no and change it up a little bit. Do something you wouldn’t normally do. Go to an offbeat comedy night, take a stroll along the beach at midnight, or go watch a band you’ve never seen before.

What’s important right now to get your love life going or to reignite excitement in an existing relationship is a sense of spontaneity and sharing brand new experiences together that are a little offbeat. Don’t be afraid to be a little eccentric. Try things that are a little weird and wonderful because this is what is extremely stimulating in terms of conversation and passion.

You may feel a surge of ambition in your love life, pushing you to take bold steps toward achieving your heart’s desires. Your newfound confidence can attract positive energy, and you might find yourself entering new romantic agreements or deepening existing bonds.

This is also a good time to reflect on your personal appearance and how it reflects your inner power. Be mindful of the balance between independence and connection, as too much focus on your goals could create distance in your relationships. Trust that love will thrive when you remain true to yourself.

Virgo: Twists and turns

Mercury square Jupiter along with Mars still retrograde in Cancer, means that relationships are incredibly confusing. Sometimes things are extremely turbulent. They are great one minute, and the next minute, you’re feeling totally at sea about what your partner wants and needs.

In fact, your needs in the relationship, particularly if it’s a new one, may be changing really quickly. You may become irritable and dissatisfied quickly, but the next moment, when you introduce a change, suddenly it’s all very exciting again.

What you shouldn’t do right now is overreact to anything that happens. Things are up and down and all over the place. Try to use this as an opportunity to test the waters in terms of intimacy, have new kinds of conversations, and enjoy relationships as an adventure. After all, you are an adventurous sign.

This is a time for exploring the deeper layers of love. Superficial connections may no longer satisfy you, as you seek meaningful exchanges that resonate on a soul level. Be cautious of any deceptions, particularly in matters related to your home or family. Honesty is crucial, not only with others but with yourself.

Avoid taking on too much, and make sure your commitments align with your true desires. As you navigate this period, stay grounded in the truth, and you’ll find that love can flourish in even the most unexpected places.

Libra: Savor the moment

So, what does this week have in store for Libra? Mercury semisextile Venus in your 7th house plus Mars in Cancer, means it’s all a go in relationships. This is a time with a big weight of expectation. Sometimes there are new responsibilities in the relationship, possibly because you’re planning a wedding or a baby.

This is a time when you are taking a big new step into the unknown, so it’s quite alright to feel slightly anxious. It’s very likely that you are embarking on a new adventure as a couple.

Do it fearlessly and enjoy the process. Don’t try to reach the destination too quickly. Savor every moment of the journey, even if there’s a little turbulence and fights. In new relationships, maybe it’s time to make a change.

If you’re feeling everything’s too stable and dull, change is exactly what you need. Trust is key; secure partnerships will navigate these changes with ease, while those with shaky foundations may experience uncertainty.

You may meet someone who seems perfect, but it’s important to see them for who they truly are, rather than who you wish them to be. Letting go of unrealistic expectations will allow you to appreciate your partner’s true essence and bring more honesty into your love life. Remember, true love survives the test of time and honesty.

Scorpio: The world was made round

For Scorpio, with Mercury triggered in Pisces by Jupiter, this can be a time of unrealistic expectations. It’s important not to have rose-colored glasses on in relationships. With Mercury and Venus semisextile, it’s important to have fun and enjoy the dating phase without thinking too far down the road.

There’s a quote: “The world was made round so we cannot see too far down the road.” That’s so true right now. In ongoing relationships, it’s very important to be honest and not leave anything unsaid or undone.

Tie up loose ends because if you don’t follow through on a promise or do things exactly as your partner expected, it can leave a bad taste in their mouth, which can linger. Love is best when you just tick the boxes and make sure you are doing the basics right.

Miscommunications could arise, so it’s important to express your feelings clearly and listen carefully to your partner’s needs. By being realistic and open in your communication, you can prevent misunderstandings and strengthen your connection.

Sagittarius: Kick back

Mercury the ruler of your solar seventh house in Pisces square Jupiter means this is definitely a pleasure-seeking time. It’s okay to avoid and kick back, having a little downtime. It’s important to nurture your inner child and use all your creative talents. Creativity can unlock positivity, feeding back into your love life and relationships.

This is a time when matters to do with the family can distract from your relationship, so it’s important to maintain some separation. Keep any problems with home, property, or family in proportion so they don’t affect your love life, which could be very good right now.

Relationships may bring challenges that push you to reassess what truly matters in love. You might have to let go of certain expectations or relationships to make room for something more fulfilling. If your love life has been lacking, this period encourages you to take steps toward deeper satisfaction, which can blossom into long-lasting joy. 

Capricorn: Imagine

With Mercury in Pisces square Jupiter, this is an excellent time for spiritual goals and personal growth. In any situation, whether it’s romantic, family, or work-related, it’s very important to take a step back.

In many respects, this is a fantastic time to get away from it all. Take a road trip, spend an afternoon doing something totally indulgent, and use your imagination. Perhaps enjoy a hobby like art or music where you are free to let your inspiration flow.

Right now, it’s important to be your own person, and sometimes that means having your own space. You don’t want a bossy or controlling partner, especially with Mercury semi textile Venus.

Relationships like that need boundaries. It’s very important not to let toxic people invade your space because you are particularly sensitive right now. This is a great time to be romantic with no strings attached and not too much planning. Just try to go with the flow, enjoy each other’s company, and see where it all leads.

Aquarius: Make it happen

Well, my lovelies, what has this week planned for you? Mercury square Jupiter in Gemini means it’s important to be daring and proactive. While in general the energies are encouraging patience and persistence, particularly with Mercury semisextile Venus in Aries, but that doesn’t mean you should be sitting on your hands.

This is a period where you make things happen, and that includes romance. If there’s someone you’ve got your eye on, it’s important to make a move, improve communication, or suggest doing something exciting together to get the ball rolling on the relationship.

This is an excellent time for reevaluating how things are going in your love relationship or marriage. It could be an important time to chat about priorities, make sure you understand each other, and get things off your chests. It’s vital to clear the air and make sure that you are supporting each other while pursuing goals that make you feel individually complete.

Pisces: Don’t put yourself in a corner

This week, Mercury square Jupiter in Gemini brings a little bit of uncertainty. It’s quite okay to feel ambivalent now. We know Pisces often change their minds and struggle to make decisions, and that is so true at the moment.

What you don’t want to do is put yourself in any situation where you’re forced into a corner. Keep your options open and maintain flexibility in relationships. It’s okay to take a rain check or say you don’t know or haven’t decided yet. You really want to avoid pressures, so it’s okay to be evasive right now because that serves you well.

With Mercury semisextile Venus, it is actually a really good time for relationships in terms of more communication, fun, and variety. It’s not a good time for those really heavy, deep conversations and certainly no drama.

You may feel drawn to creative or romantic endeavors, seeking to escape the harshness of everyday responsibilities. While your intuition is strong, be cautious not to let idealism cloud your judgment. Take the time to assess the motives of others as well as your own before making decisions in love. Trust that the love you give will come back to you, even if the path isn’t always clear. 

Summary…

Being realistic in your expectations will prevent disappointments and help you make necessary adjustments in your relationships. Personal concerns may come to the forefront, especially where there are unresolved conflicts.

This is a time for either finding common ground and seeking to smooth the way forward. Your relationships are likely to undergo subtle shifts, but these changes will bring greater clarity and understanding. Approach love with mindfulness, allowing your heart to guide you without judgment.

Key themes to capitalize on this week.

Diplomacy, Conciliation, Mindfulness, Relaxing, Understanding, Balance, Realism
