Astrological Features of Valentine's Day 2024

• Ruling Planet: The Sun ⊙
• Moon Phase: 5^th and 6^th days of the waxing Moon.
• Sun Sign: Aquarius.
• Moon Sign: Aries.
• Ruling Star: Ashwini.
• Compound Date: 6.
• Name Derived Zodiac Sign: Taurus.

The ruling star for most of the day is 'Ashwini', which is ruled by 'Ketu', the south node of the Moon and is the 1^st of the 27 'Nakshatras'. 'Nakshatras' are sometimes referred to as constellations or lunar mansions. 'Ashwini' has mystical and spiritual qualities and is symbolic of new beginnings, a pioneering spirit and the initiation of actions. It has a divine, benevolent and positive nature.

The compound date for this day, that is the sum total of the digits for the date, reduced to a single digit and this works out to 6, which aptly represents the planet of love, Venus.

There are however two inauspicious periods that run concurrently on this day. These are 'Gand Mool' and 'Panchak'. These periods do cast a somewhat inauspicious shadow over most of Valentine's Day. Therefore, while this will not affect any celebrations of love, new beginnings, such as marriage proposals should be avoided.

Aquarians value authenticity and individuality. Personalised gifts and genuinely meaningful gestures will be a hit with them. They will also appreciate something that involves giving back to the larger community.

Why is Valentine's Day Celebrated?

You'd be forgiven if all the commercial activity surrounding Valentine's Day had led you to believe that it is an invention of the corporate world. It is in fact, an occasion that dates back to Roman times. Although the exact history of Valentine's Day is steeped in legend and is therefore something of a mystery, it is generally believed that this is a day of reverence to Saint Valentine of Rome. St. Valentine was a priest who was imprisoned and later executed by the Roman Empire. He was found guilty of secretly marrying couples in accordance with Christian rights, in defiance of Roman laws against such marriages.

Final Thoughts

Valentine's Day has traditional roots that stretch beyond its modern day, commercial appeal. It has been said that birds began to mate on February 14^th, a notion that Chaucer immortalised in his poetry, linking the day with romantic love of the collective imagination. It is however, the planetary alignments of the day that will decide our romantic fortunes.

Happy Valentine's Day!
