Okay singles, this one’s for you.
We spend a lot of time exploring love compatibility, love horoscopes, and compatibility checks for all of the couples among us, don’t we? Today we’re going to give some love to those of you who are in between relationships and those who are purposefully single.
This season can be so focused on coupling it may seem like all signs point to single being bad – or at least leaves you feeling you were uninvited to some massive party. This can carry a bit of extra sting, even for the most empowered and confident single guy or girl. If this sounds all too familiar then today’s post is for you!
Forget all the saccharine Hallmark V-Day cards and celebrate how awesome YOU are for a change. Let’s get to it!
Plan a juicy reward for the end of it, like, sending a text to the hottie you hope notices your new tight end or plan a Starbucks stop for a Venti of ‘full fat’ everything on the way home.
Add some beauty to your home by painting a bold accent wall or finally hanging that load of framed photos that have been sitting on your floor since January.
If you are feeling more quiet, this is the perfect time to go down a rabbit hole on the interwebs, or to binge on some new Netflix documentaries that are above everyone else’s heads – Rise of the Continents anyone?
Take yourself out to dinner in your own home, then finish your bottle of wine in a long bath. Spend a little extra time at the expensive grocery store and buy all the yummy ingredients you’ve been dying to try but never had a good reason to do so.
Hire a driver, book an expensive table, spend some time at the bar before you eat and….just see what happens. Sure, by the end of the night you might meet someone special, but you’re almost guaranteed to make some new friends.
Give yourself a chance to stop over thinking and over analyzing every reason your love life isn’t where you want it to be. Make tonight about your favorite people, surrounding yourself with them in a way that’s light and….fun. Your mission? Relax! As fellow Virgo Claudia Schiffer would say, “Because you’re worth it.”
After work, splurge at your favorite shop for anything that tickles your fancy, and then to your nearest department store beauty counter for a makeover and a designer bath kit. If there’s any day that a little retail therapy is highly recommended, today is it and for you, dear Libra, this phrase was coined. Remember all those yummy things you couldn’t do when that annoying partner was around? Tonight’s the night!
Plenty of fresh air will go a long way if love matters are feeling tangled right now. If you can’t find a beach or take a walk, be sure to stop and catch the sunset. A tangible reminder of the bigger picture can restore lost hope or faith in love, closing the book on past hurts. Ending up in the tub will be a great way to sign off, setting you up for a restful and well earned night of sleep and great dreams!
Being active in your beloved outdoors, like a sky diving lesson or zip lining will let you see a bigger picture of where you’re headed. Spending today really considering what you need in your next relationship will be absolutely worth the energy you put in.
Get a massage, get your nails done, pop open that bottle of wine you’ve been saving, because today, your mission is to satisfy yourself. Have dinner delivered, put your feet up and celebrate NOT having to do something for someone else.
Connecting with people that share common things with you will boost your morale. You can do this just as easily at your local pub as you can online with your favorite artistic group. Plan a group experience today that will have you finishing the day feeling positive and refreshed, rather than lonely or left out.
The more tranquil your environment today, the more you will enjoy it. As well, your heightened intuition will certainly reward you with flashes of inspiration throughout the course of the day.
