What You Need From a Romantic Partner Based on Your Zodiac Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UVA chapter.

 

Aries

As an Aries, you are self-confident and brave, but you get bored easily. You crave a partner with an adventurous spirit who can keep you interested and excited. You also enjoy being around someone who can keep up with your high-energy lifestyle. 

Best Matches: Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Libra

 

Taurus

You need stability in your partner, and since you offer devout loyalty to the ones you love, you expect the same in return. You partner best with someone who will cuddle with you all day, since your lazy nature makes you inclined to stay in bed. 

Best Matches: Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces

 

Gemini

You likely have countless hobbies, and your friends consider you to be a social butterfly. This also means that you’re likely to have several partners before you choose someone to settle down with. You seek honesty and open communication from your partners and someone who likes to have fun like you do. 

Best Matches: Aries, Leo, Libra, Aquarius

 

Cancer

As a Cancer, you need stability and dependability from your partner, thus you’re more inclined towards long term relationships. You like to see your partner as an equal who can offer you a balance of giving and receiving. Some may misconstrue your dedication as clinginess, but the right one will appreciate how loving you are in your relationships. 

Best Matches: Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, Pisces

 

Leo

You are bold, confident, and ambitious, and you need a partner who will support your goals without standing in your way or holding you back. You dislike clinginess and need space to be your own person because of your independent and self-assured nature. 

Best Matches: Libra, Gemini, Aries, Sagittarius

 

Virgo

Virgos are slow to jump into long term relationships and need to know and understand their partners deeply before they commit. They love being around people and will value their time with you greatly, but they seek a relationship with space where they can function independently as well.

Best Matches: Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn

 

Libra

You are creative and passionate, and you feel your emotions deeply but sometimes don’t understand them. You thrive in a relationship that offers you the same loyalty you give to your partners but still allows you space to continuously explore yourself and your passions.

Best Matches: Gemini, Leo, Aquarius

 

Scorpio

Scorpios are sometimes known to be manipulative of their partners, but when they find someone who they consider their equal and who knows how to deal with their intense, sometimes dark emotions, it’s perfect.

Best Matches: Cancer, Pisces, Virgo 

 

Sagittarius

You’re probably picky when it comes to choosing a partner, but when you find someone who you feel understands you emotionally, you’ll fall hard. Your emotions, however, are likely to be unreliable. It’s predicted that you’ll stay with someone who is independent but who’ll still make you feel needed.   

Best Matches: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius 

 

Capricorn

You are a romantic, and you require a deep emotional connection with your partner to truly feel comfortable with them. Loyalty and dependability are absolutely essential for you. 

Best Matches: Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, Pisces

 

Aquarius

You seek a partner who can challenge you and shares your curiosity and wide variety of interests. You appreciate someone with a sense of humor and who in addition can give you your space without being possessive and complex enough to keep you interested.

Best Matches: Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius

 

Pisces

You are deeply in touch with your emotions, and you seek a deep romantic connection in your search for your soulmate. You’re unlikely to date casually and won’t do well with someone who doesn’t seek a deep romantic connection. 

Best Matches: Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, and Capricorn
