Valentine’s Day horoscope: Russell Grant reveals if love and romance is coming your way

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

A passion packed romance makes you feel like you’re walking on air but with the busy life you lead, you can’t always find time to nurture your relationships. Don’t make excuses and try not to let your love life get side-lined. Take this opportunity to relax with your lover. Ask about their hopes and dreams and take an interest in what they say and do. They need to know your feelings for them are heartfelt and sincere. Spend time together doing the things you know will bring them pleasure and give them many happy memories. Give the romantic lover inside you a chance to shine and he or she will love you for it.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Be honest and admit you can all too easily get stuck in a comfortable, contented rut. You enjoy routine and stability and while this makes you a loyal lover, you can also be possessive. Is the loss of spontaneity and excitement depriving your partner of happiness? What happened to the fun times you used to share? Take pains not to limit your partner’s experiences. Surprise them by suggesting fun activities that will bring you even closer. Make a break with the tried and trusted this Valentine’s Day; take a walk on the wild side and be more experimental in your love making.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

You’re spontaneous, playful and relish change. That’s why you love it when romance is fun and exciting. If your lover isn’t naturally experimental, make allowances for their feelings. Plan a romantic evening that includes a home cooked meal followed by a massage with scented oils. Atmospheric touches like candlelight, soft music and incense will inspire you and your lover to focus on each other. Linger over your lovemaking. You have an insatiable curiosity in the bedroom. Use this to improve your love life by exploring new techniques with your amour. Make these special moments a time when the world can’t interrupt you so don’t forget to turn off your mobile.

Cancer (June 22 -July 23)

Just because you love to relax at home it doesn’t mean your amour feels the same. Arranging a Valentine surprise will put the twinkle back into their eyes. Seize moments of romantic opportunity that ignite your passionate fire. Remind your lover of how good you can be together. Your fertile imagination can keep passion high in the bedroom and anywhere else for that matter. If you’re at the start of a relationship try to keep things fairly light for now. You will sense when you’ve met your soulmate but they may not be as intuitive. It might take a wee while for them to discover what you already know.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

As a Leo you can’t live without a bit of pampering. This is a great time to get back in touch with your sensual side. Don’t be afraid to spend a little more than you normally would on updating your image. When you take extra pains with your appearance, you’re virtually irresistible. Fulfilling fantasies can be an enormous turn on and allows your lover to enjoy your dramatic skills. Are you going on a first date? Don’t hog the limelight by talking about yourself all the time. Ask questions. Find out about interests you might share and give more about yourself away as the relationship develops.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

Few people realise how sensitive and sensual you can be. Don’t be afraid to let it show. You need to be more assertive about your needs for how else can your sweetheart support your dreams and desires? Take the initiative and arrange a fun outing or whisk your amour away on a romantic holiday. Exploring new horizons will strengthen your bond. You have a tendency to overanalyse your relationships. Let down your defences and listen to your heart. You have great instincts when it comes to intimate issues. There’s never been a better time to put your loving side on display.

Libra (Sep 24 – Oct 23)

Valentine’s Day presents the perfect platform to do something special for your amour. Cook their favourite meal, get them a gift certificate for a massage, or head off to a private hideaway together. Block out distractions and focus on each other’s desires. Encourage your lover to act out their fantasies and expand your lovemaking repertoire. The more flexible you are, the more fun romance will be. If you’re longing for love and hope to turn a friendship into romance, is it for the right reasons? Do you feel romantically attracted or are you trying to force a passion that doesn’t exist?

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Sometimes you can take life too seriously. If your job leaves you too exhausted to enjoy romance, admit that you’ve been neglecting your partner. Prove how much you care by rearranging your schedule. Besides, all work and no play makes life boring. Put responsibilities aside for the sake of having some fun. This is a great time for you and your amour to go on an impromptu trip or have fun experimenting in the bedroom. Do whatever it takes to make them feel valued and special. Are you single? Don’t make excuses about not having time to socialise. Enjoy a party and give Cupid a chance to work his magic.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

It is in your nature to be adventurous and you love to find ways to thrill and excite your partner. Arrange it so you can spend quality moments together. Plan some intimate outings and make yourself more available for romance. Honing new lovemaking techniques will draw you closer. Remember too that give and take is critical in any intimate relationship. Support your partner’s dreams and ideals and be willing to put their needs first, occasionally. Are you single? Find ways to reconnect with your sensual side. Your happiness will radiate outward and attract many admirers.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

Don’t feel guilty about wanting to satisfy your own desire for pleasure. You take your responsibilities seriously but there’s nothing virtuous about being a workaholic. Besides, when you’re working long hours, your partner could look elsewhere for entertainment. An experimental approach is the formula for romantic success. Be playful and daring. It will feel wonderful to let down your defences and your adventurous ideas will please your lover. If you’re on the romantic market but your soulmate seems nowhere to be found, stop looking. You could be searching too hard and once you relax, love will find you.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

Ask yourself what your amour would most like to do. Put yourself in their shoes and think about how you can meet their needs. Arrange a special date that is catered to their tastes. Book a meal in a romantic restaurant or better still, an overnight stay at a B & B. Put intimacy at the top of your list of priorities. The two of you could have a wonderful time reconnecting in an intimate setting. You’re very sociable and love to stay connected with the world but this Valentine’s Day switch off your mobile, computer and other distractions. Stay away from social media so you and your lover can focus fully on one another.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Romance always brings you profound pleasure. If you love someone, take the initiative in love. Be passionate and direct. Tell your partner exactly how much they mean to you. If you’re longing for commitment, talk about building a future together. Drop your guard, open your heart and you will experience the type of joy you thought only existed in fiction. Share your hopes, dreams and fears with your lover and ask about theirs. If you’re at the start of a relationship, enjoy every magical moment you spend together. Spending more intimate moments with your amour will feel naughty and exciting.
