This Is The Best Day For Romance In February 2024

February has arrived—the month most associated with love and romance—and it is ready to make its grand entrance in 2024! 

With Aquarius season in full swing and a host of planets making their way into the air sign, it makes sense to want to prepare for the month ahead. Later in the month, the Sun will shift into Pisces, and along the way, plenty of intense transits will be ready to keep us on our toes.

While most would assume that February 14th is the ideal day for romance, the astrological weather paints a different picture for this month. So, what does that mean for our romantic aspirations and plans?

Throughout the month, several planets will move into Aquarius. We are keeping an eye on Mars and Venus, both set to move into Aquarius on February 12th and 16th, respectively. Venus is associated with love, romance, and beauty—it often reflects our desires, what attracts us, and what we value. Mars is the planet of action, assertion, and drive—it can reflect our sex drive and libido and the actions we take to pursue pleasure. 

On February 22nd, though, these two will hit their peak and form an exact conjunction, meaning they are the closest to each other in degree they can be. With this powerful transit, most of us will feel deeply affectionate and want to enjoy life to the fullest. Not to mention, you’ll likely feel sexually attractive and feel attracted to others. When these two planets form a conjunction, things can get very passionate and steamy very quickly!

That’s not the only result this transit can bring, however. These two planets conjunct can also represent the possibility of grand romantic gestures, starting new chapters in love and relationships, and taking things to the next level. While the sign of Aquarius may not come across as your typical romantic, the sign values deep foundations of friendship and mental connection—when Aquarius is secure, there isn’t much that won’t be done for the ones they love. The Sun in Pisces, though, with its associations of daydreams and idealistic romanticism, does bring a dose of your usual heart-eye feels into the mix. 

Of course, it’s important to look out for intense emotions, as the Moon will be in the sign of fiery, slightly dramatic Leo. While the Moon in Leo can be generous and unafraid of going big in romance, it can also lead to heated arguments or disagreements—channeling all that passion into something less productive. However, if you’re willing, these moments may be brief and can be easily forgiven if you’re willing to not hold a grudge for the sake of punishment. 

While all the zodiac signs can benefit from the energy of this transit, a few signs may specifically benefit romantically on this day: notably Libra, Leo, Cancer, and Aquarius (applies most to Rising signs, but Sun and Moon may also apply). 

Libra

This transit will occur in your 5th House of Romance and Creativity—let the sparks fly! Your social nature already works well with fellow air sign Aquarius, so today works well for leaning into new romantic gestures and exploring sex and pleasure. If you’re single, you may find others are drawn to you more than usual—flirting and playful banter will work well in your favor. If you’re in a relationship, this may open the door for new creative, sensual ways to connect—if you’ve been wanting to try something new, today could be ideal to give it a shot!

Leo

This transit will occur in your 7th House of Partnerships, which may offer a rest and a new turn in your relationships! If you’re single, this may be a time of exciting new connections, introductions from one-on-one relationships to potential partners, and discoveries of what you want in terms of romance. If you’re in a relationship, this may work well as a time to move the relationship to the next level while fully immersing yourself in passionate experiences. Proposals and grand gestures may feel more inspirational today!

Cancer

This transit will occur in your 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources, making today a powerful opportunity to transform your relationships. This may lead to sexual discoveries and explorations of things you’ve kept repressed or simply wanted to understand better. This may also serve as a day where emotional and sexual moments make you feel more connected and better understood, and passion and desire are at an all-time high for you today. 

Aquarius

This transit occurs in your 1st House of Self and Identity, which you may find makes you a magnet for attraction today. You’ll likely feel more confident and assertive than usual, which may work in your favor in the romance department if you play your cards right. If you’re single, you could notice you’re perceived as more attractive by others than usual. If you’re in a relationship, you may feel more emboldened to make the first moves or initiate things in the romance department—the decisions feel more in your control today.
