Why Love Feels Different Around Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is a romantic time of flowers and gifts, candlelit dinners, and declarations of love for many people.
But beyond the red hearts and love language gestures, many also feel a curious shift in their emotional state during this time. For many people love feels more intense, more revealing, or even more confusing this time of the year.
Why does this happen?
From a spiritual and astrological perspective, February carries unique energetic patterns that directly influence our emotional awareness and relationships. While Valentine’s Day shines a spotlight on romantic love, the entire month operates like a cosmic mirror, quietly revealing the truths beneath our connections.
It’s not just about Cupid’s arrow, it’s about clarity, emotional timing, and spiritual alignment.
Valentine’s Day did not begin as a holiday celebrating modern romance. Historically, February 14th was observed as a Christian feast day honoring Saint Valentine, who was associated with devotion and commitment in early traditions.
Over time, the day became associated with romantic love in medieval European culture. Writers helped solidify the notion of Valentine’s Day as a day for expressing affection and making heartfelt promises to a loved one.
The Return Of The Divine Feminine
Sometimes when I do psychic readings, I sense a powerful female presence from Spirit, with wings spread wide, who appears to be lending strength and support to my clients.
I recognize her as the Egyptian Goddess Isis, or by her Greek name, Auset.
When Goddess Isis comes into a reading, I know that serious business is at hand and that my client needs to be brave, strong, and to believe in themselves. This brings in the grander subject of the Divine Feminine and how that is showing up during my client’s reading.
The awakening of the feminine is alive and happening all around us, and more widely recognized now than ever before.
The rise of the Divine Feminine is showing up in all sorts of arenas, including the corporate workplace. Women, as a whole, are speaking up and no longer have much tolerance for sexual discrimination, lower pay rates, or other outmoded ways of female disempowerment.
However, the interesting thing about the Divine Feminine is that it has a quality of power that is not based on forcefulness. It works more in alignment with the psychic realm and intuition. The Divine Feminine works in harmony with what is, and ways to empower everyone.
Men are very much a part of, and inclusive in the reawakening of the Divine Feminine, because this is not about gender, but more about a more balanced, harmonious way of living life. The Sacred Masculine and the Divine Feminine go together perfectly, like peanut butter and jelly! We need both sides present and active for complete wholeness.
Are You Erasing Your Blessings?
The unselfish gifts of our time, money, and resources as well as our labors of love bring us many blessings in this lifetime and the next.
When we are kind and generous to others, we are also showered with good fortune in return. We know this from the ‘golden rule’ of ‘do unto others’ found in many religions and spiritual traditions.
Buy I have read for many clients over the years who are kindhearted and loving people, but complain about their life being very difficult and deprived. They never have enough money, or they cannot find love, or health and well-being seem to evade them. “I am always helping others, but I get nothing in return,” they might say.
Why is this the case? Why are these generous, caring people not being blessed more often for their good deeds?
Well, my guides have made the spiritual cause of this very clear to me. It is my understanding that we do not only add items of charity and compassion to the list of entries on our ‘chalkboard,’ but we also delete or erase them!
You see, when we do a good deed, it gets added to our list of potential ‘return blessings.’ But, if we go around bragging about it, boasting, showing off, telling people how generous or kind we have been, those good deeds become nullified, neutralized, erased. It loses its metaphysical power and spiritual meaning. It can no longer bless us in return.
In The Grace Of Divine Time
I usually see them poised in stillness upon the bare branches of the winter trees. But today, most of my sightings were of them circling in flight overhead, crossing back and forth over the road.
Sometimes they appeared to be pursuing their prey, other times leading their young, or simply enjoying the freedom of gliding through the sky beneath the beautiful morning sun. This occurred in several places along my journey, spanning a range of miles beyond the one roost and eagle family I’ve been witnessing.
Before, during, and after my way was bedazzled with this abundance of bald eagle beauty, my thoughts had been steeped in the topic of time. I sensed the eagles crossed my path to affirm and guide me in my contemplation of eternal time.
I also sensed they came as signs of a shift in my life. They were reminding me that what has been waiting in my life – energy that has been paused, stuck or still, resting, gathering, or incubating – is beginning to move on the horizon of visibility, and gradually gaining momentum.
When I arrived home, waiting in my mailbox was a pamphlet with the printed words: The Times Are Racing. Well, message received loud and clear! It’s time to express my appreciation of time.
How To Interpret Your Dreams
I have always found dreams to be most fascinating. Interestingly, my guides have taught me that there are, in fact, three types of dreams.
Many dreams are just a result of some of the mundane information we take in on a daily basis. These are usually the kind of dreams which make no sense at all.
Some dreams are simply reflective of both our fears and desires. For example, swimming close to sharks would be an obvious fear for most people, whereas winning the lottery is what a lot of folks would love to happen.
Finally, there are dreams which contain spiritual messages. These dreams are generally predictive in nature and is one of the ways that spirit chooses to show us a glimpse of the future.
So, if you have a dream which is colorful, incredibly lifelike and emotive in a positive kind of way, it could be that your guides are trying to tell you something.
Also, if that dream should become repetitive and more and more intense each time you experience it, this is a likely sign that what you have dreamt about is due to manifest.
The common denominator in most dreams is that they tend to contain a lot of symbolism. But what if you do not understand that symbology and the meaning behind it? Should you be having this problem, the following common dream symbols and interpretations may be of use to you.
Astrology Forecast February 9 – 15, 2026
The week opens on a quiet but powerful note as the Moon moves through Scorpio, a sign that asks us to slow down and feel rather than rush ahead. There may be a noticeable contrast between what you think you should be doing and what you actually feel motivated to do.
If procrastination sneaks in, it is not laziness. It is information. Scorpio Moons pull attention inward, encouraging emotional honesty and private reflection before outward action.
In the morning*, the Moon in Scorpio Quintile Pluto in Aquarius supports deep inner insight. This is a subtle but potent influence that helps you recognize patterns beneath the surface, especially around power, control, or emotional attachments. You might have a realization about a habit or mindset that has been quietly shaping your choices.
This is an excellent time for journaling, research, or any work that requires focus and emotional intelligence. Conversations can feel meaningful even if very little is said.
As the day unfolds, there may be a sense of drifting or moving slowly, especially if the weekend energy still lingers. Give yourself permission to work at a gentler pace.
Scorpio energy does not reward rushing. It rewards intention. If something feels heavy, instead of pushing through, ask yourself what it is trying to teach you. Emotional clarity today comes from curiosity rather than judgment.
How To Find Your Ideal Psychic Reader
As with any other professional, choosing the right psychic reader for you can be a tricky process. Just like you wouldn’t want your dentist or auto mechanic to be the wrong fit, neither should your chosen psychic!
The best approach to take is to trust your instincts. Know what you are looking for in your reader. Do you want answers to specific questions? Are you trying to commune with the spirit of a loved one? Hoping to learn more about yourself?
These are all important questions, as no two readers are alike, and the more tailored your search for a psychic, the more likely you are to find the best match.
Don’t be afraid to “interview” potential readers. The good ones are professionals and will not be offended, as long as you approach them in a diplomatic, respectful manner.
Maybe you won’t like the first person you contact, but if you keep at it, chances are you will find the right one. It’s a lot like dating!
Some people like to find a reader through the recommendation of friends or family. Others may prefer to choose based on a professional network, word-of-mouth from the psychic community, the staff at a local esoteric bookstore, or a spiritual meeting group.
If you are making use of a psychic directory or online network, be sure to read the reviews and feedback left by other clients.
Just as it’s important to track down the best psychic for you, it’s also wise to avoid the “bad” ones. Although it’s perfectly normal and acceptable for a reader to charge for her services, be wary of anyone whose rates are excessive, or who tries to engage in dishonest practices, such as demanding more money in order to remove “bad energy” or “evil spirits.” There are those who would pretend to use a legitimate gift to make a quick buck.

Luckily, though, the vast majority of psychics are legitimate and want to help others gain insight into their lives. Once you find a good reader, you may choose to work with them only once, or many times, depending on the nature of your questions or concerns.
A quality reader will tailor her services to you. Would you want your doctor or dentist to give you a “one-size-fits-all” approach? Of course not! When you go for a reading, it should meet your needs. If you feel uncomfortable, say so. And there is no rule saying you have to stick with the same reader forever. You can change readers if you need to.
Hopefully, once you find a reader whose style and psychic gifts work for you personally, it will be the start of a lasting, rewarding relationship for both of you. True psychics exists in this world to help others and to share their gifts through the spirit realms. Genuine psychics can be your ally as you seek to make sense out of the spiritual confusion of your life.
