How To Plan The Perfect Valentine's Day, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Need some inspo? Here are date night ideas for Valentine's Day, based on your zodiac sign. (Check your partner's, too, to come up with a full day of activities!)

That said, she suggests booking a fun, active date, like indoor rock climbing, paint-balling, or go-kart racing. "Afterwards, indulge in a spicy meal or a sizzling cocktail hour. Aries thrives on energy, so keep things engaging and unexpected!" Kamson adds.

As such, nothing screams "Taurus" more than a cozy night in with your favorite gourmet takeout—or a home-cooked feast if one of you is up for cooking, Kamson says. "Set the mood with lush blankets, soft music, and maybe a wine or chocolate tasting. Quality, comfort, and deliciousness, Taurus heaven," she adds.

So, a date night with a few different destinations is perfectly on-brand for them. "Create a 'progressive dinner date,' and hit up three different spots for appetizers, main course, and dessert, talking and people-watching along the way," Kamson suggests, adding to keep the conversation flowing and switch it up often; "Geminis love mental (and culinary) stimulation!"

This year, lean into it with a heartfelt evening at home, complete with a homemade dinner, soft lighting, and a nostalgic movie that warms the soul, she suggests. "If you really want to go above and beyond, write them a sweet note or frame a favorite photo. Cancers love sentimental touches," Kamson adds.

Whether you are a Leo or you're dating one, today is a day to spoil each other with luxury experiences. "Maybe tickets to a show, a fancy dinner, or even a surprise serenade. Anything that says 'I appreciate you' in a big way will make them glow," Kamson says, adding, "Just remember to shower them with those heartfelt compliments, too!"

Virgos adore efficiency—but also love a well-planned surprise, Kamson explains, so how about booking a cooking or pottery class you can both enjoy? "Or take them on a nature walk with a cute picnic carefully packed" she says, adding, "Show them you’ve put real thought into the details, and they’ll be smitten."

Of course, Libras do want the ambiance just right, "so plan a dinner at a chic restaurant with a beautiful backdrop (candles highly encouraged)," Kamson explains. Or, she suggests, set up a DIY “wine and paint” night at home, complete with easy-listening tunes and enough time to chat and flirt. "They’ll love the harmony of art, beauty, and connection," Kamson adds.

And with that appreciation of depth, you can lean into something intimate, like a late-night stroll by moonlight or a cozy evening in with deep conversations—maybe tarot readings or a shared favorite true-crime doc, she suggests. "Candles, sultry music, and a feeling of privacy will set the perfect mood," Kamson adds.

So what better way to nurture those impulses than by booking a spontaneous trip with your lover? "It could be a quick road trip or a hike to a breathtaking view—or try something totally different like an escape room or a dance class in a style you’ve never tried," Kamson says, adding, "Sagittarius loves an open mind and the spirit of exploration, so surprise them with something a little wild!"

As such, Capricorns secretly love being pampered for all their efforts. "Treat them to a fancy dinner spot (maybe at that power-lunch spot they’ve been eyeing) or a swanky wine tasting," she suggests, adding for a cozy twist, "try a night of strategy board games with a charcuterie spread. Capricorns love the combo of brains and indulgence."

No need to hide it—let your freak flag fly! "Seek out an indie film screening, explore an art exhibit, or volunteer together for a cause you both care about," Kamson suggests, adding, "Aquarians love brainy or offbeat fun, especially if it makes the world a better place. Conversation starters are a must!"

Lean into it by going all-in on the romantic vibes, Kamson suggests. Think a candlelit bubble bath, a homemade dinner with soft music, or a spur-of-the-moment trip to the beach for a sunset stroll. "Don’t forget the creative touches, like writing them a little love poem or sharing a dreamy playlist. Pisces will be floating on cloud nine!" she adds.

There's never a bad time to shower your partner with love and affection, show you care, and go that extra mile, but Valentine's Day gives us a great opportunity to do so. This year, take a hint from their zodiac sign with a date night that perfectly matches their vibe.
