How You Should Spend This Valentine’s Day If You’re Single, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

ARIES: Book yourself a mini adventure.

Embrace your bold and adventurous nature by booking yourself a mini vacation. Avoid your usual spots. Step outside your comfort zone into a new explorable place, or ditch the city to spend some time in nature. Get out of town, go stare at the stars, or just stay off the grid (even if it’s in a different neighborhood). Your self-reliant sign doesn’t typically mind being single, but it’s okay if you don’t want to see the holiday thrown in your face. Stay off social media this February 14th and enjoy your unfamiliar (or scenic) surroundings. 

TAURUS: Order in comfort food and watch your favorite movies.

Staying in and spending time alone never hurt a Bull. This Valentine’s day, prioritize comfort and self-indulgence. Stock up on your preferred wine and snacks. Queue up your most beloved films or series. Order in copious amounts of food from your go-to restaurant, and make sure you don’t forget dessert. Get cozy in your bathrobe and enjoy your favorite THC or CBD product. Do a little online shopping from your couch—you deserve to treat yourself!

GEMINI: Go to a fancy dinner with your besties.

Hit the town on Valentine’s Day. Being the social butterfly that you are—chances are that you already have plans. If not, making a reservation with your besties at a hot new spot is the perfect way to spend (or start) your evening. Order champagne for the table and toast to your independence and freedom. Who knows? With enough bubbly, you may wind up feeling bold and texting your crush for a night cap. 

CANCER: Host a dinner for your inner circle.

Whether you’re cooking or catering, open your home to your besties. Having your loved ones over will keep those intrusive thoughts away this holiday. Don’t let yourself dwell on the past or on supposed reasons you’re still “alone.” Fill your friends’ stomachs and keep the lush wine pouring instead. Your romantic heart can’t help yearning for “the one” on Valentine’s Day, even when you’re thriving in your independence. Connecting with those who mean most to you will remind you of all the love you already have in your life and of how much of it you have to offer. Keep the hope alive, Cancer. Love has an unexpected way of arriving into one’s life.

LEO: Post hot selfies.

How is a babe such as yourself still single? That’s because A.) Leo is worth it and B.) Lions can’t be caged! You deserve all the love, and no one can love you better than you do. Celebrate yourself this Valentine’s Day by embracing your confidence. Put on that little slip dress and burgundy lipstick. Set your camera timer…one, two, three, thirst trap! You deserve all the attention today (and every day). It might serve you right to not let your outfit and makeup go to waste and head out for a couple of drinks. Never forget that your presence is one that lights up a room and turns heads.

VIRGO: Stay home and try out a new recipe. 

Your sign hates making a big deal out of the holiday, whether you’re taken or solo. It’s likely that you want to ditch out on all the plans for Galentine’s Day and single celebrations. Indulge yourself and stay home. February 14th is the perfect night to make that recipe you’ve had bookmarked for months now. Knead while setting your intentions. Repeat your mantras while whisking away. Turn on your favorite music and breathe in the flavorful aromas coming from your oven. Cooking something from scratch will be just the thing to soothe you.

LIBRA: Take your pick between going on a date or a shopping spree. 

Timing is everything for your sign. You’d rather be free than settle for someone who doesn’t fit your ideal image of a partner. But you’re ruled by Venus, the planet of love, so you can’t help but be drawn to romance. You’re a sucker for the nuances of dating. This holiday would be a sweet time to get out there. You thrive off flirtation and live for the game, so ask your crush out. Feeling in a more solo mood? Shop! Spoil yourself with some of the beautiful pieces you’ve had your eyes on. Buy a new perfume. Get that coveted handbag. Make a little dent in your wallet with something stunning. 

SCORPIO: Make yourself feel sexy.

You’d never admit it, but you’ve got a lot of *feelings* about Valentine’s Day, none stronger than your desire to suck face. Indulge your steamy proclivities and do anything and everything that will make you feel sexy (or satiated). For the love of everything, just avoid getting in your feelings and dwelling on the past. Your exes are dead to you for a reason. Dress in your finest lingerie set just to walk around the house. Take hot pictures of yourself for yourself…or someone else. Send risky texts. Shop for a new toy. Invite your crush over. Play around and be naughty! You deserve to feel your hottest self.  

SAGITTARIUS: Shoot your shot with your crush or go out and get cultured. 

You play hard, Sag, but you work even harder. You deserve to unwind and have fun this Valentine’s Day. Is there a cutie you’ve had on your mind? Take the opportunity this holiday to get to know them on a deeper level, and ask them out. You’ve never been one afraid to shoot your shot. Keep it chill and recommend a low-key spot. Your crush will be excited to keep your enthusiastic, and even tiny bit dangerous, company. Feeling more in the solo mood? Go out and get cultured. Whether it’s a visit to an art museum or attending a play or symphony performance, do something to stretch your horizons. 

CAPRICORN: Work on a DIY project. 

By nature, you’re a traditionalist, but don’t let Valentine’s Day get in your head. You don’t need anyone to tell you that you’re on the road to success with or without a partner. Ignore all the red hearts and pink balloons. Stay home and work on a DIY project. You love a good challenge, so you should pick something that will make you feel accomplished and grounded. Rearrange your furniture for a new vibe. Paint that bookshelf you’ve been meaning to spruce up. Install some new curtains. Redecorate or dress up your fireplace. Even just opening the book on your nightstand that you haven’t had the time to finish would be a good idea. Pick something from your to-do—just entertain your mind.

AQUARIUS: Treat yourself to the spa. 

Ruled by eccentric Uranus, you’re no lover of convention. It’s only your natural response to roll your eyes at anything having to do with Valentine’s Day. You’re likely to spend this day like any other. Treat yourself to a massage or spa day instead. You’re a humanitarian whose hands are usually tied up fighting for social justice. Lately you may be feeling tired from all your social interaction. You’re a great listener who is always there for others, but you struggle with taking care of yourself. Unwind and make today all about you. Once you’re well rested, you can go back to making the world a better place. 

PISCES: Feed your creative soul. 

Your sensitive heart can’t help but feel a little sad to be single on Valentine’s Day. This is only because you’re a romantic at heart. Remind yourself today that you don’t actually miss your ex and that your past relationships ended for good reason. Let go of old feelings. Instead of watching rom-coms with a box of tissues, feed your creative soul. Express yourself through your favorite artform. Write a poem, make a collage, or compose a song. You spend a lot of time thinking about others—whatever you do, just turn your energy inward. Pick up a new artistic hobby if you’re feeling up for a challenge!
