Every Valentine's Day is different. Some years, the box of chocolates arrives right on time, and the dozen red roses speak where words would fail. But other times, a wannabe Mister Right is revealed as a space cadet who wouldn't know a love poem from a grocery list.

As always, when it comes to love, astrology matters. When the planets line up smoothly, romance can click with the precision of a Swiss watch. But when there's chaos in the heavens, the sweetest treat can seem stale and sour.

This Valentine's Day will endure immense cosmic pressure. The Moon will be changing signs for most of February 14, which is the weakest signal of success that the heavens have to offer. That makes it more important than ever to pay close attention to the days just before and after Valentine's Day to be sure you spot true romance among the poseurs.

Aries
An impatient Ram might forget the sentimental moments which are there to be enjoyed on Wednesday, February 12th, and be left wondering why Valentine's Day itself is so dull. Your last chance at romance will come on the night of February 14th. If you make a date for that night, meet up around 7:30 to make sure the spark of love accompanies you.

Taurus
The Bull wants tangible expressions of love. Poetry and song can't take the place of a diamond tennis bracelet. This Valentine's Day will be chock full of expressions of amore, but short on material affirmations. Is every possible partner a flake? Staying home early Friday night to see if something arrives is worth the wait. A true Valentine will be delivered then.

Gemini
The wrong person will come through with all the right gifts during the day on the 14th. You may feel put upon to respond with a commitment, but words exchanged prior to 7 p.m. on Valentine's Day are hollow to the universe. After that, look for love to present itself with an unexpectedly dramatic introduction, after which you'll be subject to seduction.

Cancer
With the Moon in your sign for most of the day, you'll feel quite cared for on Valentine's Day. But get ready for the evening, as a gift due to arrive Friday night will change your opinion about the intentions of a possible love interest. Your first impulse will be to refuse such a lavish present, but this is just shock at the first sting of Cupid's arrow.

Leo
Tension on Valentine's Day could cause some premature depression to set in. Don't lose faith, as the Moon will slowly move into your sign on the evening of February 14th. You will go from wallowing in the past to reveling in the present as you become the center of attention after sunset. A weekend getaway will be the perfect extended Valentine.

Virgo
The prospects of an exciting Valentine's Day will seem to build early in the week, leading, however, to a Friday fizzle. Be sure any encounters with your truest love are scheduled to occur after sunset, under Friday night's romantic moon. Better to break with tradition and schedule a Valentine date for Saturday the15th than to spend Friday afternoon feeling lonely in a crowded room.

Libra
A career opportunity could preoccupy you during Valentine's Day, and some frustrations with a creative project could sour you on celebrating. This is a shame, as you will be the envy of much of the single population; Libra is attracting the Valentine advances of too many possible lovers to even choose from. Valentine's Day and the weekend following are social calendar chaos.

Scorpio
Avoid having anything delivered on Valentine's Day; it could lead to confusion and disappointment. Any gifts you receive that afternoon will be part of an extended flirtation by an undeserving seducer. True love will reveal itself in a shocking manner Friday night. Look your best, as the drama of it all will be a bit more public than you would have cared for.

Sagittarius
Some pre-Valentine's Day warm-ups early in the week could be the best passionate encounters you've had in a long while. Valentine's Day itself will seem a bit anticlimactic in retrospect. Plan ahead to avoid the blahs; schedule a weekend getaway with a sexy sweetheart to ensure continued romance under the Full Moon.

Capricorn
This is one Valentine's Day during which all the focus will be on a particular partner. This potential obsession could be a waste of your effort if you don't plan your presentation in accordance with the stars. Schedule any dates early in the week and don't begin the encounter until after sunset on Friday night. The stars are as picky as you this time around.

Aquarius
This is shaping up to be the most romantic Valentine's Day in recent memory, but you'll have to wade through various commitments and distractions during the day in order to reach the prize. True love and possibly a lasting soulmate encounter await you on the Friday evening of the 14th, and the weekend as well.

Pisces
Your Valentine might make an early exit this year. An exciting encounter with a sexy person on February 12th will make any valentines you receive on the 14th seem as plain as vanilla. Look to be of great service to friends on Friday, as you play the role of therapist to the disappointed and personal assistant to the happier couples. By Valentine's Day, you will have had your fun, and your friends need you, and you'll be there.
