Astrology On Valentine’s Day - February 14, 2010 - BIG Wish For Love That Satisfies
My eye on the sky
I’m not partial to Valentine’s Day as it seems to cause far more pain then it does pleasure for a variety of reasons, however this year may be the exception to that. The sky is truly extraordinary on Valentine’s day this year, I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like it.
The Moon in Pisces is tightly conjunct Jupiter in it’s own sign which is guaranteed to buoy a person’s feelings. On top of that, Venus (love) which is exalted in Pisces is conjunct the Moon and Jupiter and this is one heck of a KISS.
Granted, these planets are agitated by Mars and Saturn but it should not be that difficult overcome whatever negative effects they may bring with this kind of love and benevolence at hand. Here are some ideas:
If you have a partner, this is a chance to transcend hardship or fear or block (Saturn) or strife (Mars) between you and give your love unconditionally and out of bounds like never before.
If you do not have a partner and want one, take this extraordinary opportunity (Jupiter) to wish (Pisces) for a future gift (Jupiter) of love and relationship (Venus) that will satisfy (Moon). While you’re at it wish for those around you - this is what Pisces is all about.
To incorporate Mars and Saturn, you can commit to you making an effort if the universe will gift you in this way. This will dovetail nicely with Saturn’s upcoming transit of Libra where people all around will become more and more of aware of the concrete benefits of partnership.
And the song the day… Sam Cooke with Cupid - Enjoy!

Aw, that Sam Cooke song was sweet.
And now for something completely different.
“Don’t Mess with Cupid” demo by the New York Dolls (1972!!).

Sorry, couldn’t find a better recording.
“Don’t you mess with cupid,
Cupid’s not stupid.”
There are people on one of the mailing lists talking about a :A Valentine’s Day Massacre”. I don’t get it.
I just don’t see how to trump Venus, Jupiter and the Moon tightly conjunct in Pisces and by the way if this is you birthday, how lucky are you?
Valentine’s Day was my oldest child’s birthday, born when I was only 19. He died two days before his birthday when he was 22. Granted that was a long time ago, in 1992, but Valentine’s Day still kicks me in the butt. I have a hard time seeing it as a happy little holiday. Interesting contacts to both his and my charts this year. Some cleansing to old wounds perhaps?
(((Doreen)))
It’s at the very edge of my 6th, entering my 7th….. I remain hopeful as i get over the ex….
Oh, Doreen, I am so sorry. ::sighs::
I really think Venus conjunct Jupiter in Pisces is pretty special. That the Moon is involved (mother), I have to think there is at least a chance of some benefit. ((Doreen))
And that conjunction opposes my Saturn which rules my 5th, so I’m thinking benefit too. And Chiron and Neptune are smack dab on his Sun. I see that too as potential for good.
What if I don’t want a partner? I’m barely getting out of my marriage. :/ Those conjuncts are all over my 7th house too. How else can I use such energy?
curious, just how I said. Ask to transcend pain and disappointment and be inspired to a future (Jupiter) of satisfying love and relationship.
Jupiter and Venus together has got to be a kiss from God (or the equivalent) but you have got to let go of the dregs. That they are in Pisces is the part that elevates this to out of this world.
Check past Valentine’s Days. Nothing like this on offer, not even close.
For example, last year we had Venus in ARIES square Pluto! Not exactly loving, LOL
I was never big on Valentine’s Day, probably because my Saturn is square the Vday Sun. I always felt lost and alone on that day (leave it to Saturn), but I always got a card and gift from my parents.
Since I met the hubs and eventually got what I’d been lacking (or thought I was) all those years, I can say I’m still not crazy about the holiday. Love should be celebrated every day, not just on one over-hyped day. I don’t even want cards or gifts–I buy them for my kids. This year, I’m taking my girls to Build-a-Bear for their Vday gifts.
It’ll be in the 5th opposing my sun.Interesting!
I will be asking for transcendance; in fact I may even make a little ceremony of it to cement it more firmly into my mind. ![]()
ETA, I always found it ironic that the Sun is in AQUARIUS on the hearts ‘n flowers day. Aquarius seems so…beyond that stuff.
I really like this post and the thoughts it’s inspiring you to write–
And…. even though i am, well, alone - i like valentines day and i like all the heart stuff– the heart is life!
thanks, mp. Really difficult to write something like that because besides the people who are alone, anniversaries of things or loss be it death which we ran into or “had a man last year but not last year”, part of the reason people get jacked up on this day is their expectation are high and someone fails to meet them.
Writing somethign like this runs the risk of raising someone’s hopes only to have them crash so I am glad you can see what I am after here…
Oh ((((((((Doreen))))))). So many hugs.
I have a friend whose birthday is 2/13 - I’m going to tell her how lucky she is this year.

I want a kiss
But I’m all for wishful thinking. Currently single, but with this Pluto conjunct my natal Venus (and Venus/Neptune conjunct in house 1) maybe, just maybe I’ll finally get that love that seems to add up to the right equation. It’s never seemed balanced (Saturn in Libra haha) before… Usually I’m giving far too much. Not receiving nearly as much as I give. But at the same time I manage to somehow get what I need, in the form of life lessons. 20/20 hindsight is a bitch though. I just want *that* love.
Happy Valentine’s day to all though. Hope everyone single or taken has a lovely day.
I have been alone on valentines for YEARS. Okay, so last year i was “with” my ex but….never mind about that.
Maybe i’m just a tacky person liking all them red hearts in the store windows. Or it’s an excuse to buy more chocolate. AND i’ve got total love aspects going on but no partner.
I love all the heart crap at Borders right now — and I am not a thing person and don’t to collect anything…
I’m like “okay God, keep me safe, sane, healthy and working…”
I am definitely lonely– but….(Cue sappy music) i am not gonna settle anymore. I rather be alone than with the one who has me crying more than laughing….
Just rambling, rambling….
((doreen))
my grandma still has a hard time with a holiday for a similar reason. over fifty years later. hoping for some healing, for you…
yeh, LisL, I have never understood why the love and flowers and roses is in Aquarius… maybe because it’s a partnership thing, and the opposition would be leo?
((Doreen)) will pray for healing for you…must be so difficult…
On my end, I find this all interesting…I am definitely printing this for future reminding (time flies! but my mind wanders)…hehe
Oddly enough, I DO know someone with this birthday…someone I like very much, but I think he shall find luck elsewhere
Funny…I was so set against the idea of starting anything new, but lately that’s all I can think of…*sigh* all in good time…
Huh. I wonder if this would work even on the likes of me….I don’t have any Pisces though.
Interestingly enough, I’m at a conference that weekend, so my odds of actually meeting anyone I don’t already know are good… but it’s a pagan conference, so the goods do tend to be odd. And have more hair than I do!
YAY for me!! My birthday is February 15th so hopefully I’ll have a good day!! Thanks Elsa!!
((Doreen))
Hopefully this transit will transcend your pain
My twins are born on Valentine´s day, 2002-02-14.
Both of them have the moon in pisces and so do I :)! So I´m sure we will have a good day !
My Uranus is conjunct the V Day Sun, so its never been a great day for me either. I had a big, and unexpected breakup on V Day once. 15 years later, he still calls me on that day to say ‘Happy Anniversary’. LOL He can’t believe I broke up with him on Valentine’s Day. Hey, what can I say, its Uranus. It was sudden and unexpected. I’ve always wanted to be spoiled on V Day, but it has never happened. Always disappointed.
Valentine’s Day really isn’t that big deal here, but I feel like celebrating this year. My Descendant is 6′18 degrees Pisces. Therefore, Jupiter will enter my 7th house some time in Feb 14th, Moon in what would be early hours of Feb 15th here.
Elsa, I would like to thank you first for all your beautiful thoughts you provide to your friends.
My granddaughter was born on Valentine’s Day, just 2 months before my misery started (Virgo), as well as misery of my daughter (Leo). It was a crutial time, an overnight switch from peaceful life to hell. One trauma after another. What I considered impossible was suddenly possible the moment the baby was born. We stayed together 3 years. The baby will be 8 on Valentine’s Day. She’s an advanced student and a champion in demanding sport.
My Grandmother’s birthday was Valentine’s Day. She passed a couple weeks ago. She would have been 85. She was very happy before she passed though. She had everyone around her who she loved and after having diabetes for many years, she ate ice cream all day long in the weeks near the end. I’m going to remember her like that and celebrate on Valentine’s Day with some cold sweet treats of my own.
Hi guys, don’t wish to intrude and thought id say hi and may tell you all a little story that may be of interest…and if not well its only me typing a bit…lol Here goes with my cosmic love story…
im really wondering whats happening with me in the past year…my life has spun outta control and things ive found coincidently, such as this site (through the recent messup!!) have helped me understand that significant forces do have profound effect on our daily lives…last year 2 days before new year my girl walked out after 10 years with no prior warning in fact 2 days before she told me she was ready to have kids…and things (i thought) where as good as ever….not so
about a week later i had a phone call off my childhood sweetheart who i left home to meet up with when i was 17 and she was 15… we left to live on an island, i followed her over but she never hung around for me even though we had laid plans…she had always been the ‘one’ real love in my life….long story but..she telephoned to apologise…21 years later!!!…we had a conversation and left it at that, it was good to talk…
i never spoke to her for a couple of months until i dropped her an email to put closure (or so i thought) on things for her which i had said id do for her, she was an ex alcoholic 7 years clean and this was part of her recovery programme
…within a week of sending that email…we were skyping each other til the early hours and within 2 weeks, she had given up her life at home and moved over with me, as it shouldve been all them years ago. It was like a fairytale come true…we where head over heels absolutely smitten, real destiny stuff, and we both lived it intensely….
long story short she stayed for around 4 months but the last two weeks she was here things nosedived between us, she left and returned home…this break up left me devestated even more so than the 10 year relationship i had recently come out of…
I know this isnt an agony Aunt forum but I am just saying this cos the dates i have looked up since, have been uncanny with what has been happening in the skies, my sign is Aquarius….
Neptune giving the illusion and dreaminess and Jupiter amplifying it chiron healing the past…jupiter then going retro and the dream collapsing like a house of cards….i mean the dates have been unquestionable from what i have looked up and it has me intrigued, i really don’t know a lot about Astrology but this has certainly given me the impetus to learn…especially as to what happens next…thats what brought me to this page…
because i am almost definately not in control here the stars are definately holding all the clues and keys for me now..and im trying my best to understand what is happening!!
my birthdate is 10-02-70 and i am aware of all the activity in Aquarius right now and am feeling a little all over the place…my heart is like a big open sea at the minute ebbing and flowing and whatever happens from now i know my life is never gonna be the same again. My destiny has shown that love is definately in the stars and the physical drama is so obvious to me now as the manifestation of the dance of the spheres above us..
My heart is broken in a million pieces but it doesnt matter no more to me ive released it back free…i realise now it has never been in my hands anyway…i just have to go with the flow…and Elsa you’re so right about this one…February is known for hosting Valentines day and if you were to stop and look at the play unfolding in Aquarius right now…it is absolutely beautiful…
who’d have ever thought she would be back to me after 21 years apart??…We were blessed and deep down she knows it, this is etched in my heart…but how can you absorb the magnitude of the planets?? It is absolutely collosal!! EPIC!!
How do people who aren’t aware of this grand cosmic dance deal with the emotion that comes with great Love?? This is easier in hindsight to understand with help from people with insight such as yourself Elsa but when you’re not looking or expecting lack of awareness means you react differently than you would armed with the information…I have learned this first hand recently!!
The similarity between the planets and the stars and the relationship i have had with this girl is stunning, we have only ever known each other for 5 months in our entire lives and yet i know her better than the girl i had a relationship for ten years…
we know each other inside out, we push each others buttons where noone else could ever reach within us, yet we both know we complete each other when we’re honest and true and we melt in the Love aspects with each other. In the quietest moments with each other it is as soft as a dreamy cloud..
Like the planets it is intense, it is fiery, it is passionate, with so much to say and communicate, trying to get it out quickly whilst we can, yet with physical words we trip ourselves up, so much history and ground to make up, so much confusion, it stirs up your deepest feelings, brings your hidden dramas to the surface so you have to deal with them, it is stark truths even though it hurts. It was bliss which turned to poison, anger and love in extremes, absolute extremes, deep surgery was done on both of us, the pain in the end was excruciating and she has gone now but still I feel we have only had a beginning and a middle to what has truly been a ‘cosmic’ saga..
the love of my life..she first thought of contacting me in November 2008..I went through all of this from May to August with her last year when i thought she was lost to me after 21 years, my relationship of 10 years gave way for this to happen bang on cue…I feel now that it was healing at maximum potency..i am a totally different person now to when she showed up and i know she is too…in such a short time amazing changes have occured and we have both had to question every single aspect of our lives and i feel if something isnt right within us from this day forward then it will be noticeable..it may take time but it won’t sit right with who we are in truth!
When i look at the chiron, Neptune, Jupiter conjunction…i think of her…how could i not?? What is happening next is unfolding spectacularly in the heavens…and noone knows what is around the next bend…absolutely anything can happen, i acknowledge that much now! i think the trick is to be open to the wondeful loving and creative energies that are being showered on us all especially at this amazing time…
i feel this new moon could be such a significant chance for us all to focus on giving loving energy to one another in abundance after (all it is free!!) whether it be patting your dog on the head a little more or caring for an elderly relative.
In my case i can only wish for my princess to show up again after letting the whirlwind that just happened to us settle in her consciousness…im still waiting for the happy ending…
i do believe in love and if there was ever a sign in the skies for everyone, it is there right now…not just to see….but to feel!! I just think we’re not in control any more, any of us as much as we’d like to think we are and even though at this present moment i am single, i’ve got to shout it out…..Love is taking over!!
Thanks Elsa! Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
