Some languages, such as Greek, feature distinct words for different kinds of love. Others build their nuances around one core word. Either way, since no two loves are alike, there will never be enough words to cover the gamut. Neither will there be enough poems, songs, books, art forms or even actions to encompass love's many flavors. Multiple planets aspect the Valentine action of the week. May you appreciate the various flavors love takes, recognizing the uniqueness of each.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Relationships are invented as you go. This week, you'll act without knowing which direction things will take. All you can control about it is where you're coming from. You have love in your heart and you open it. It doesn't always spill. Sometimes, it's giving looks from the outside, like stillness. Sometimes, love is restraint.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are many aspects to the week that will seem like a quiz, except the answer key is nowhere to be found. You won't know what you got right until much later, when the correct answer bears fruit. So do what you can and take your guesses where you must. In time, tests get easier because you mind them less.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Learning about people is part of how you respect them. You find out their preferences and tune into their rhythms. You observe the way they communicate and work. And you do it all without asking a lot of questions, which can make people uncomfortable and self-conscious. The rapport you create will be most excellent.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The intricate dance of cause and effect eludes immediate recognition, weaving its threads through the tapestry of time. You would not be in the place you're at now had you not set something in motion years ago. And though this week echoes the harmonies of the past, you are also modulating the theme and dreaming a new dream.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People project onto you what they want and need you to be to complete their own story. And while you might exist as a character in someone's imagination, the real you has your own agenda to fulfill. It will, in places, overlap with what others want from you in interesting ways this week. You're a genius at making relationships groove.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Commitment creates change. You'll make a larger investment in someone. You'll double down on a promise to yourself. You'll dig deeper into the work. It's the effort itself that forms you. The more you put in, the better you can feel the edges shaping and strengthening you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are fully aware that there are many possible approaches to the week. You could go longer or lighter with the work. You could do more, less, higher, deeper, lower or none. The point is, you are free. And what's the point of freedom if not to exercise it? With whimsy, you avoid slipping into a rut. You'll experiment to prove you can.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You laid down a few rules for yourself, and now it might not seem like much fun to follow them. It's so much easier to adhere to your own directives when they're easy and comfortable. Could you reduce the work of this in some way? A smaller ask could help you build a habit painlessly instead of setting yourself up for struggle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). They say, "You can't take it with you," and maybe that's why people are so adamant about keeping what they have while they have it. You are feeling less materialistic. You'll let go of certain attachments in the name of freedom and levity. Even so, you'll appreciate what matters to others, and your respect in this regard will engender trust.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even though you give love in the spirit of strength, the connections between people form in the soft, vulnerable places of the soul. There's no way to get closer that doesn't involve emotional risk. You'll put yourself and your feelings on the line this week, knowing that everything worth having takes courage to get — love included.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You show up for your people in all kinds of ways — with your presence, with your willingness to do what they've come to expect, and with the surprising way you go above and beyond. Taking initiative says the most. It's also notable this week how people tend to go out of their way to be near you — a huge compliment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you know where the lines of territory are, you typically don't bother crossing them because it's just not worth it. The trouble is, most borders are invisible, disputable and negotiable. Encroachment is inevitable, but this also lends itself to communication and could ultimately bring people together. To share is divine.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You'll thrill to the boomeranging evidence that you're a formidable presence in the lives of others. You'll be trusted with authority, and you'll make it count toward forwarding important aims and improving systems that affect many. New people come into your life. You give without hesitation and love unbridled. More highlights: You'll pick back up with an endeavor from long ago and have much better luck this time around. You'll give an acceptance speech. You'll see distant sunsets.
