Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love, but not everyone enjoys the same kind of date. Some people love grand romantic gestures, while others prefer something relaxed and low-key.

Your star sign might just have the answer to your ideal Valentine’s plans.

Whether you're a fire sign craving excitement or an earth sign looking for something grounded, here’s a guide to the best Valentine’s date for you.

Aries (21 March – 19 April)

Adventure and spontaneity are key for Aries. They love thrilling activities like rock climbing, go-karting or an impromptu road trip to make their hearts race.

Taurus (20 April – 20 May)

Taurus loves comfort, good food and a touch of luxury. A candlelit dinner at a fine restaurant or a homemade meal with quality wine will be their perfect night.

Geminis thrive on variety and good conversation. A fun double date, a lively pub quiz, or a comedy night will keep them entertained and engaged.

Cancerians love heartfelt connections. A cosy night in with a homemade meal, nostalgic movies, and deep conversations will make them feel cherished.
