Your Weekly Horoscope Predicts an Over-the-Top & Slightly Unhinged Romance

Your horoscope for the week of February 11 to 17 is breaking away what once was and creating space for what will be. New beginnings are just crossing the threshold of reality, but you may have to let go before you can receive.

This week begins with Mars—planet of combat and passion—entering Aquarius on February 13, where it will inspire humanitarian efforts, social endeavors, and eccentric instincts. While in Aquarius, Mars wants you to rebel against the establishment and explore your most unconventional instincts. Romantic Venus in Capricorn will sextile dreamy Neptune on Pisces on the same day, allowing sparks to fly and dreams to come true.

However, the energy will become far more intense by Valentine’s Day. After all, Mars will join forces with Pluto—planet of creation and destruction—which could slam the door shut or yank it wide open. This could bring your deepest and most desperate desires to the surface, so prepare for secrets to be revealed and passions to arouse. The moon will also join forces with Jupiter in Taurus on this day, leading to sensual connections and even bigger emotions.

By February 16, Venus will enter Aquarius, encouraging platonic love to blossom into something more. This is where friends to lovers and lovers become even better friends. You might even feel inspired to explore a new fashion sense or indulge some of your more off-beat interests. However, a conversation could take an unexpected turn as Mercury—planet of communication and logic—squares off with unpredictable Uranus. And once Venus joins forces with Pluto on February 17, passions could reach a dangerous level of intensity, leading to unhinged desires and over-the-top declarations of love (or even hate).
