ARIES Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

Mars retrograde periods are never enjoyable for anyone, Aries. This is particularly true for you, as mighty Mars, the red planet, is your planetary ruler and guardian. Any time your planetary ruler is spinning out of orbit, you feel as if your entire life is on hold and obstacles crop up at every turn. With Mars retrograde for just a few more days, our desires, passions, and romantic lives may turn against us. This is why we must face karma regarding these themes from years past now. Above all, do not charge into a battle that you cannot win.

TAURUS Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

You so often are the tried-and-true bull, Taurus. You tend to think nothing—and no one—can stop you because you are built for success and know how to plod along even when the other zodiac signs have given up or fallen behind. However, with Mars retrograde taking place—but nearing its end within a few days, this is not a time to force anything. In fact, it’s a time to rest, recharge, and surrender rather than fight against the wind. Mars is retrograde for a week more, meaning that there could be challenges around our love lives, desires, and passions. Be careful not to be drawn into battles.

GEMINI Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

Mars retrograde is a karmic cycle, Gemini. As a personal planet, Mars is very close to Earth and influences us greatly. That is why when he is thrown off his orbit and into a backward slide, we are dramatically affected and must reassess and readdress the themes that the red planet rules. As the planet of sex and war, Mars causes us to review how we’ve approached these patterns in our lives over the many years past. With him retrograde for just a week more, we must be sure not to fight against the grain. In the days ahead, we may still face the battles we’ve launched in our love lives and potentially even with exes.

CANCER Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

 When it comes to conflict, you take a sideways approach, Cancer. Yet, as a Cardinal zodiac sign, you still wish to initiate the path toward a resolution as soon as you can. As we are still in a Mars retrograde for just a week more—a cycle that is very karmic around the themes of sex and war—we must face how we have handled these areas of our lives in years past. Mars retrograde often brings potent attention to how we have engaged in our romantic lives, especially around desire, sex, and true love. Prepare to assess this for just days more.

LEO Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

As a zodiac sign ruled by elemental Fire and the great luminary, the sun, you’re no stranger to ferocity and intensity, Leo. However, even if you are not a fan of Mars retrograde cycles. Mars retrograde takes place roughly every two years—and we are now in it. However, we are near the tail end, with it occurring just for one week more. As the planet of sex and war, Mars must be strong for us to pursue our desires. Yet, when he is asleep, you deal with situations from the past tied to these themes—either to resurrect the situation or relationship or to release it and find closure once and for all. Consider where you’re at during this time and if there is anything that is speaking to you to heal or rekindle.

VIRGO Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

Your grounded nature grants you serenity and harmony far more than most other zodiac signs, Virgo. That is—at least on the inside! With Mars retrograde roaring in a fury at this time, everyone is feeling the tension. However, be aware that this cycle will only continue for one week further. As the planet of sex and war, our red planet is powerful and impactful to us, so when it is weakened, we often feel like all of our energy and libido has also been siphoned away. The key to handling this energy is to surrender, relax, and recharge rather than getting fired up and inevitably burning ourselves out more. Learn to release—you can revisit discussions or battles later.

LIBRA Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

Conflict often terrifies you, Libra. It’s not that you can’t face it; it’s just that you recognize the fact that harmony and union are more often a better way of approaching life. However, with mighty Mars asleep in a retrograde phase, everything related to sex and war has been thrown up into the air. Yet, be aware that we are nearing the tail end of this cycle, as it continues for only one more week. As we are now in the center of the beast, we have a better understanding of the themes and situations cropping up for us to face. Mars retrograde doesn’t occur to punish you—it appears to slow you down, revisit situations and relationships from the past, and resolve the karma that was created by action and inaction.

SCORPIO Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

With you being one of the few zodiac signs with two planetary rulers, each affects you slightly differently, Scorpio. Mars and Pluto personify aspects of your soul and are known as the lower and higher vibrations of one another. Mars retrogrades hit you much more intensely, though, as they take place less frequently than Pluto retrogrades—which happen for several months every year. This is why, during the red planet’s backward slide, you experience very significant karmic lessons around sex and war. Pay attention to the themes and patterns that are re-emerging now. You are being given a chance to alter your course. We are at the tail end of this cycle, as it will last only for one more week.

SAGITTARIUS Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

As a feisty Fire sign, you’re one of the rowdiest of the bunch, Sagittarius. This gives you a close alignment to the energetic frequency of mighty Mars, the red planet of sex and war. However, with Mars retrograde presently upon us, you are being required by the cosmos above to address and review how you’ve interacted with sex and war in your life up until this point in time. On one hand, dark karma may be here for you to face. Yet, if you’ve lived your life at a higher level, you’ll be able to use this time to surrender, relax, and reflect rather than face any exes or enemies. Our Mars retrograde cycle only lasts for one more week!

CAPRICORN Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

You have a very special connection with Mars, Capricorn. This is because he is known to be exalted in your zodiac sign. Thus, whenever our red planet is weakened—like he is now in a retrograde phase—you also notice that things are a bit “off kilter.” Mars retrograde cycles significantly affect one’s sex drive, ambition, and anger, and all of these themes can be played out in our relationships. This is why you may face exes or enemies from the past with whom you had a strong and passionate love or hate relationship. Use this time to reflect on them. If you’d like to heal or rekindle the flow, use the time now. Mars retrograde will only last for a few more days!

AQUARIUS Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

Mars retrograde cycles are always a bit of a nightmare, Aquarius. Even though you’re so often the most astonishing, calmest, and most collected zodiac sign, you will feel like your feathers are being ruffled! Mars is the planet of action and energy, with very close ties to sex and war. That’s why when he is in a retrograde motion as he is now, all of these themes will feel like they’re being sucked from our lives. With Mars retrograde taking place for just one week more, our relationships with people we interact with regularly come up for review—as well as how we seduce and pursue our passions.

PISCES Daily Love Horoscope February 17, 2025

Conflict is not your specialty, Pisces. In fact, at the first sound of the warrior’s trumpet, you’re on the first train out of there! However, Mars retrograde cycles require even your soft and sensitive heart to review the themes that it has to bring up. As the planet of sex and war, Mars is a feisty one and carries heavy karmic ties. With us approaching the end of this retrograde cycle, you may even be crossing paths with exes or enemies during this time. This is especially true if there is a strong, passionate connection between you—for better or for worse. Note we have Mars retrograde for just one week more, so we will be in the clear soon!
