Scorpio: You give them a long love letter, and they will read it ten thousand times. They believe that Actions speak louder than words and expect the same from their partner on V-Day.

Sagittarius: They are what you call the family guy. Shower them with all the praises, and they will still be the modest ones who would prefer to spend time at home with everyone than spend thousands on some extravagant restaurant.

From Where It All Started

Long before Valentine’s week was celebrated, the custom of sending a love letter/card and flowers known as valentines developed first in modern England and soon spread throughout the English-speaking world in the 19th century. By the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the customs were followed in other countries too.

In Italy, there is the custom of giving Saint Valentine’s Keys to lovers “as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver’s heart”. The western trend entered India around 1992 via commercial TV and radio channels. Read More about Valentine’s Day Origin here.
