With the romantic planets of Venus and Neptune joining forces, how will it affect your love life? Tatler’s astrologer De Rui gives us a look ahead

Following impulses right now has a soothing effect on the soul. Since last week, Mars and the asteroid Chiron have been in dynamic contact, lending some active energy and a sense of peace at the same time. To take things a step further, engaging massage, reiki, or other types of bodywork into your day can lead to tangible healing.

On St. Valentine’s Day and the days that follow, the two most romantic planets, Venus and Neptune, join forces to elevate fantasy and idealism to great heights. Desire and longing for unreachable perfection becomes a major theme, even for those not looking for love. Taking in a sappy movie or a concert could get the waterworks going. Most of all, enjoy your significant other and marvel at your luck in meeting the incredible soul you are with. Big purchases should be postponed, if possible.

The joining of the Sun with Saturn in the sign of Aquarius can bring out the stubborn idealists among us, as well as those who have preconceived notions they refuse to release. Engaging in a debate may or may not bring any satisfaction. Trying to understand their reasons might be more worthwhile.
