Best Valentine’s Day date ideas for each zodiac sign

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

Aries, your fiery nature and flair for adventure surely can’t be satisfied with a bunch of roses or watching reruns of your favourite rom-com. This Valentine’s Day, focus your energy on something that gets your adrenaline going.

For couples: Fuel your energy with a mountain hike, or horseback riding or probably treat yourself and your partner to a fuelling concert and dance the night away. You can even scoop out a restaurant neither of you has tried before, try the most exotic dishes on the menu and of course, don’t miss the cocktail menu. Just shout your love from the rooftops and go all out this Valentine’s Day.

For singles: Aries singles, it’s time to indulge in that long-due pampering session. Book yourself a day spa, take that haircut appointment to transform your look or devour your favourite brand of wine while watching your comfort show. Indulge in activities that nurture your independent spirit. Just don’t get too adventurous and drunk-dial your toxic ex – it’s time to move on, ladies and gentlemen.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

Taureans, you’re lured by the fine and luxurious things in life – thanks to your ruling planet Venus. It’s time to indulge in the tangible side of romance. Bask in the luxury, and comfort that arouses your senses.

For couples: You don’t break the bank to make your Valentine’s Day memorable. Tap into the earthy spirit of the bull that represents you, treat your partner to a hearty lunch with a lakeside view or turn your backyard into a cosy date place with twinkling lights and cosy blankets. Or if you’ve been looking for some downtime, a couples massage sounds like a perfect way to soothe your soul. However, if you really want to go all out, why not plan a staycation at your favourite luxury property?

For singles: With such exquisite tastes and style, you can experience unforgettable moments. Your single status shouldn’t stop you from slipping into that gorgeous satin dress, decking yourself in rouge and sipping your favourite drinks at a fancy bar. If not, an indulgent bubble bath with ‘Cigarettes After Sex’ playing in the backdrop sounds fun, isn’t it?

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

Geminis, you’re the life of the party and won’t miss any chance to socialise and bond with people. Whether it’s sitting around and chatting with your partner for hours or engaging in playful activities to better understand each other, all you want is to spend quality time by effectively communicating with your partner.

For couples: Get creative and fun this Valentine’s Day. To soothe your curious and intellectual streak, head to a speakeasy or a jazz bar with your partner – a place that will stimulate your mind. If you want to get a little cheesy, try recreating the scene of your first date. For those who want to stay lowkey, how about playing cards and enjoying cocktails at home?

For singles: If you’re single, it’s time to stimulate yourself with some group activities. Go to a movie with your plans, plan a night out or just head out for a spontaneous day trip. For those who want to enjoy something quieter, why not be a part of a book/poetry club?

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)

Your emotional and intuitive nature only wants to spread love and care to your close ones. You’re deeply romantic and sentimental, wanting to bask in the nostalgia of the good old days and feel valued and nurtured.

For couples: This year, try to strengthen intimacy and emotional bonds. Prepare a home-cooked meal for your partner, enjoy a romantic evening with a candlelight dinner, followed by a movie or playing a board game (don’t forget the post-meal cuddles). Just prioritise quality time over any high-energy, socialising activity.

For singles: Because you’re so connected to the past, why not take yourself on a solo shopping date to an antique shop? Or nurture yourself with a spa or a relaxing bath followed by cooking your favourite meal for dinner? If you want to go that extra mile, try reconnecting with an old friend or a family member to revitalise your spirits.

Leo (July 23 to August 22)

Leo, you’re a powerful star who likes to feel like royalty and thrive in situations where you feel special. You’re passionate, pleasure-seeking, warm, vibrant and creative. You want someone to go above and beyond to plan a unique outing for you, and you’ll not shy away from returning the favour. All you want is to stand out and shine.

For couples: To experience romance and excitement at its peak, it’s time to convert your living room or backyard into a cosy love nest. Jazz up your date night with some fairy lights, live music or karaoke. If you want something more extravagant to let your inner diva shine, dining at a sparkling restaurant will soothe your heart.

For singles: Pick up your paintbrush, put on your dancing shoes or just hone your culinary skills – try to embrace new experiences. You can also flaunt your energy and social skills by inviting some of your friends and making a scene at a rooftop bar.

Virgo (August 23 to September 22)

With your big-hearted nature and lowkey lifestyle, it’s quite easy to please you. Virgos. Considered the most efficient and organised member of the zodiac, you are known for your attention to detail and perfectionist nature. So you’ll enjoy well-thought-out plans rather than spontaneous surprises.

For couples: Go for a romantic stroll in a botanical garden followed by a healthy and organic dinner at a quaint cafe or a restaurant. You can even opt for a meditation or yoga session together, so you both achieve physical and spiritual harmony. Just make sure the day progresses in a peaceful and orderly environment, with nothing last minute.

For singles: Because you’re practical and organised, why not do something dedicated to self-growth? Make time for your hobbies, enrol in a course you always wanted to do or spend the day at an art gallery stimulating your senses. Wrap up your day by preparing your favourite meal at home, followed by reading a book of your choice.

Libra (September 23 to October 22)

Scorpios, you’re passionate, mysterious and intense and Valentine’s is the perfect day to express these deep feelings. You crave a sense of togetherness and obsession in a relationship, craving an intimate connection.

For couples: This is the time to dive deep into your relationship and strengthen your bond. Nothing is too corny for you, so spoil your partner with cuddles in bed, have sincere and deep conversations on a candlelight dinner or cosy up with your partner as you watch your favourite horror/ thriller flicks in a darkened theatre to boost the excitement.

For singles: It’s time to put yourself out there. Wear that black satin dress, go grab a drink at a fancy hotel bar and you never know who you might encounter. This is also a great time to tap into your inner world, so you can spend the day reading a mystery/ fantasy book. For unwinding the day, grab that yummy takeout on your way back home and cosy up on the couch as you watch your favourite horror movie.

Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)

Your adventure-seeking personalities are always looking for ways to broaden their horizons and collection of experiences.

This Valentine’s Day, it’s time to tap into your spirit of freedom and exploration.

For couples: To nourish your soul, try short trips or an outdoor activity. Visit a speakeasy or an escape room to fulfil your need for thrill. Go for a live performance, book tickets to watch your favourite comedians, musicians, and plays – just immerse yourself in the moment.

For singles: Spur-of-the-moment decisions work best for you, Sagittarians.  Go on a weekend road trip with your pals, explore new destinations, stargaze the night away or explore the wild. If you’re feeling a little adventurous, take yourself on a solo date to a karaoke bar.

Capricorn (December 22 to January 19)

Practical and traditional at heart, you come into partnerships for the long haul. You love gestures that prove your commitment to your partner and vice-versa. You hate frivolity, small talk and lousy plans. Thanks to your ruling planet, the pragmatic Saturn, you seek an element of practicality in everything.

For couples: A stylish place with a sophisticated atmosphere, serving fine delicacies should be your ideal date venue. Try a bonding activity with your partner, whether it’s going to a classical music concert or starting a new show together. Just satisfy your and your partner’s appetite for art and quality.

For singles: You’ve always been inclined towards saving rather than spending. So this Valentine’s, treat yourself and splurge on something you’ve been eyeing for a long time. After all, you deserve the world.

Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)

Always thinking outside the box, you love all things eccentric. You hate following the herd and crave an unconventional experience. So try something that brings out your inner weirdness or intellectually stimulates you.

For couples: Because of your innate desire to swim against the usual Valentine’s Day norms, you won’t try mushy dinners, cooking dates or fancy gifts. Instead, you’ll be interested in treating yourself and your partner to a special exhibition at an art gallery, taking them to an observatory or a remote location just to enjoy the clear skies. Even a trivia night can be a great option to try out with your better half.

For singles: Attend a community event, take up volunteer work, try a new workout session (pilates, aerial yoga, Zumba). Or just visit a historic site near your place to impress your intellectual mind.

Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

Given your deeply emotional nature and dreamy fantasies, you want your Valentine’s Day to be nothing short of a fairy tale. Your tender heart loves the idea of love, offering so much care and affection to your partner that gets overwhelming at times. You’re looking for ways to immerse yourself in romance, arts, mysticism, as well as meditation.

For couples: Grab a white sheet, pick a projector and play your favourite movies on a loop. Surprise your loved one by bringing their favourite meal as you snuggle up for a movie marathon. Even better, head to a Broadway show and dive into the calm and serene world of arts. To round it off, a peaceful walk on the shore, surrounded by nature, can be very therapeutic.

For singles: Grab a beer and sit by the beach, go to a planetarium or just gaze at the stars listening to soft music. Pamper the Neptune-ruled, certified lover in you.
