All of us celebrate Valentine’s Day with great enthusiasm every year on February 14. This is the best day to express your feelings, as it is said that your beloved cannot say NO on this day. Lovers share their feelings and exchange gifts and flowers. But, do you know the story attached to this festival of lovers? Let us take you back to the moment it all began.
There was a priest in a church near Rome in AD 270 named Saint Valentine. At the time, Rome was ruled by Emperor Claudius II. During his tenure, the trade economy was seriously failing. There were many wars due to the lack of effective administration. Learning and trade declined while taxes increased. The Empire had nearly come to an end. Since it was a large empire, more soldiers were needed to protect it from enemy nations.
Claudio thought that the marriage would emotionally bind the soldiers with their families, so they would not be able to give their best in their work. Therefore, he forbade marriage in order to get quality work from the soldiers.
Seeing the plight of the young lovers, Bishop-Valentine put them in a secret place and admitted them to an institution called Marriage. When Claudio found out about this Friend of lovers, he ordered the death penalty for ValentÃn.
Therefore, Valentine was executed on February 14, 270. Valentine himself is believed to have sent the first Valentine’s card to his lover, a girl he fell in love with while in prison. It is not only the case of lovers in Rome but also in India. We have different examples of such lovers who sacrificed their lives for the sake of their love like Heer-Ranjha, Laila-Majnu, Shiri-Farhad etc.
Love will survive in the world as long as there is any sign of life. And February 14 is the symbol of eternal love. Here is an article about this everlasting love written by Barry Taylor:
Even if our love ends, it remains
An unfrequented garden in my heart,
Her beauty completely inseparable from bread,
A desert where once there was voluntary art.
I hope there’s still a little piece of you left
Reserved for me, a place you can’t go,
But where my room, unoccupied, can be filled
A moment with my music, sweet and slow.
There are no wishes like those of an old lover
That from the darkness, the repentant night must shine.
And so, though we’ve both moved on to others,
I send you from afar this Valentine’s Day.
Now let’s take a look at what astrology has to say about the propositional abilities of all sun signs.
Aries
Arians would be the first to propose to his partners. They are so impatient and tempted that once they get a positive signal from someone, they just can’t contain their desire to propose. They will enthusiastically present their love in front of the couple.
Taurus
Taurus are quickly attracted, but they take enough time to think about a particular matter and then only propose. They will try to see the pros and cons of a relationship before entering it. They would love to express themselves verbally instead of sending a message or a letter.
Gemini
Geminis have the ability to propose to more than one person within a given period of time. They will express their love through a means of communication, via email or SMS. Not only this, but they can also gift the loved one a book to express their feelings and you might find a piece of paper or a small greeting card in their books.
Cancer
Most sentimental Cancerians could hide their feelings no longer. They will express both their emotional need and their attachment to the partner very quickly once they find out that the time is right. In reality, there is a fear of losing deep down. Therefore, they may not prefer to wait any longer.
Lion
Leos wouldn’t be the one to propose, in general. If they do, they will first of all make their partner feel that they are very special to them. While showing their love, they will also express very strongly that they have never felt so attached to anyone before.
Virgo
Virgos will plan properly before proposing. They will not make any hasty decisions regarding love. They take their time to analyze the person. Once they are fully convinced, they will rehearse at home how to propose. Once the script is ready, they will take care of the whole script and finally present it as it is while proposing it.
Pound
Scales are generally quite balanced in nature, but when it comes to love, they are a bit more sentimental. They can propose anywhere and at any time, since they are not even afraid of anything. If they are in a group, they will try to express their feelings directly or indirectly in front of the person they love. Alternatively, they can take the couple to a public place and propose to them.
Scorpion
Scorpios will spend long moments alone before proposing marriage. They will take a long time before proposing even though they have the courage to do so. They can propose at some lonely moments, preferably at night.
Sagittarius
Archers are much more ‘directed’ lovers. First of all, they will try to study the person. Once they know that this is the best thing that the beloved would like, they will propose in such a good way that the spouse will melt. They can take their partner for a walk and express their feelings.
Capricorn
Capricorns need to be sure and convinced before proposing. They will think about all the positive and negative aspects of a relationship. Once they are convinced, they can take their loved one to an airy and open environment to express their feelings with much love.
Aquarium
The Water Bearers are the ones who will try to become friends with the person they love. Slowly and gradually, they try to get closer to the person’s heart. When they are convinced of the depth of their own feelings and the firmness of their partner, they will send a message through a friend or even propose when friends are present.
Pisces
Pisceans may need a lot of time to decide how exactly to express their feelings. At a good time, probably closer to the new moon or the day of the full moon, they might suddenly ask their spouse right away, “Hey, I love you. Do you love me too?”
