Fire signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Give In To Desire
According to Ward, Valentine’s Day amplifies the action-first, rationality-later ethos of fire signs, and under these skies, passion bests logic.
“Don’t overthink anything,” advised Ward. “We are primal creatures whose survival hinges on the powerful forces of attraction and lust. It is nothing to feel shame or guilt about. Trust in lust.”
Take a bite out of the proverbial apple, baby. This Valentine’s Day, Ward endorses grand gestures and physical expression that mirror interior emotion.
“Desire can be a beautiful force, bringing people together, creating a whole new world of intimacy and bonding that is unique to each pair. Bring that primal energy to your love life,” she added.
Earth signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Unlock New Insight
Ward notes that earth signs are being asked to step into bold love and radical vulnerability.
“Be brave this Valentine’s Day. Explore uncharted territory through curious conversation and unexpected inquiries,” she explained.
She notes that the key to this erotic unlock is being honest and transparent in return.
“Intimacy cannot be truly achieved without understanding your partner mentally and emotionally. This is your Valentine’s groundwork. Talking is foreplay.”
Get to it!
Air signs – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Smooth Sailing
According to Ward, Valentine’s Day marks the end of a turbulent phase for air signs.
“The rebuffs, rebuttals, and rebounds are all over. And the repairs, restoration, and rebirths are back on the agenda,” she said.
Praise be.
Ward warns air folks not to sabotage these fair winds by overthinking or second-guessing. “Breathe, relax, and enjoy the bliss.”
She also asks air babues to consider whether bliss and smooth sailing are really what they want.
“Sometimes your mental whirrings trigger you to activate dramas just for the hell of it. Are you past that within yourself and ready to find a peaceful partnership? There’s a great sense of emotional intelligence and relationship maturity around you right now,” Ward explained.
Time to grow up to level up my dudes.
Water signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Scorpio
Ward shared that the Scorpio card could indicate that a prominent scorpion could be striding out of the shadows and into your life this Valentine’s Day, an entry that would suit your sacred waters beautifully.
Alternatively, “It could also be an indicator of a secret attraction, an illicit lust that you know you shouldn’t submit to,” said Ward.
“We are all operating with free will, but weigh the consequences of anything you’re considering that might bring trouble, stress, or guilt to your doorstep. Is it worth it?”
She notes that, dangerous liaisons or not, the Scorpio energy represented by this card will make water signs desire and feel desired, a one-two punch of wanting that makes them extra interested in intimacy.
“It’s a perfect time to take fledgling connections to the next level, to make a commitment, to share a secret or revelation you’ve held back, or ask for the truth,” said Ward.
