Here’s the thing: I’m really into astrology. And I believe it permeates all aspects of our lives, including our romantic relationships. So, do you want to know what your sign says about your relationship style? Keep reading to find out!

Aries: The fiery lover

notallgeminis

Ah yes, we meet again, dear Aries. Aries, you’re the baby of the zodiac — the id to Pisces’ ego, the fiery ram. When you fall, you fall hard. You love showering your SO with attention and affection. You are unabashed when it comes to letting your true feelings show. 

Your ideal relationship is filled with intense passion and desire. But, sometimes you allow yourself to get stuck in toxic situations. You can’t help it — you just crave excitement! After all, who doesn’t love a brooding, mysterious bad boy every once in a while, right? 

Remember to protect your heart, though. Not everyone is worthy of your time, Aries. And certainly, not everyone deserves your fierce, unconditional love.

Taurus: The hopeless romantic

Well, hello there, handsome Taurus! Sweet Taurus, you’re known for being a hopeless romantic — the embodiment of a bull’s passion and will. You’re also known for having an appreciation for the finer things in life. You appreciate beauty, Taurus. You have exquisite taste! This means that you choose your partners wisely. You’re careful with your heart — but you also love to bare your soul to the person you decide to be with. 

You probably don’t need me to tell you that you’ve perfected the art of balancing passion and stability. You value spontaneity and you look for that quality in a future partner. But you also appreciate feeling cared for and supported.

Taurus, you’re a kind soul. You’re also very forgiving. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you. Stand up for yourself! That being said, make sure you choose your battles wisely and don’t let yourself get caught up in the heat of the moment.

Gemini: The dignified suitor

Gemini, you know what you’re doing when it comes to love. You don’t fool around. You’re as determined and logical in your love life as you are in all your other pursuits. You’re an intelligent and intuitive sign. Above all, what you seek is a profound emotional and mental connection, rather than a purely physical one. You know, better than anyone perhaps, that beauty is only skin-deep. 

Gemini, you’re often misunderstood. So, you seek someone who can see through your tough exterior and reveal your heart of gold. Speaking of that “tough” exterior, make sure you let your guard down from time to time! It’s important to be vulnerable with your SO. 

So abandon that classically Gemini aloof attitude! Let your guard down once in a while and let love find you!

Cancer: The ultimate sweetheart

Drunkstrology

All you need is love, right? Cancer, you’re sensitive, emotional, and loving. You truly do wear your heart on your sleeve. You love love!

Cancer, you just need someone to reassure you and to love you unconditionally. When you get into a new relationship, you’re ready to give 110 percent effort 24/7 for that person. You need to find someone who’d do the same for you. Don’t waste your time pining after someone who’s no good for you. Your prince (or princess!) charming is out there for sure. 

Also — you radiate positivity, did you know that? Don’t let anyone dampen your spirit! Only surround yourself with people who lift you up and make you feel like the best version of yourself.

Leo: The hot girl

Jakesastrology

Pretty Leo, walking down the street! Leo, you’re the main character of the zodiac and you know it. You’re THEE hot girl — the vivacious, shameless flirt. When someone catches your eye, you’ll do anything to make them yours.

You’re quick to jump into new relationships. Leo, you need to remember that sometimes “slow and steady” really does win the race. Take your time to get to know someone before fully committing to them. Evaluate their pros and cons. 

And, most importantly, bear in mind that you don’t need an SO to be happy — you’re amazing all on your own (though you probably already knew that)!

Virgo: The cautious maiden

Jakesastrology

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it! That’s your motto, isn’t it, Virgo? After all, those words were sung by the Virgo queen herself — Beyoncé! 

Virgo — the symbol of a reserved, tame maiden, the shy yet reliable lover. You’re the owner of a cautious, guarded heart. Unfortunately, sometimes your composed, cool exterior can intimidate potential lovers. You care deeply about the relationships in your life. But your soft, empathetic side isn’t always the side of you that everyone else sees. Emotion isn’t weakness! Let your vulnerability show. 

You know your worth, Virgo. And you definitely endorse the mentality that “if they wanted to, they would.” Ruled by Mercury, you’re also a great communicator. You say what’s on your mind and never apologize for it. This quality will definitely come in handy in the near future, so keep it up!

Libra: The diplomatic partner in crime

notallgeminis

The balanced diplomat! The zen, chill sign. The continually compromising partner. Libra, let’s face it: you’re pretty great when it comes to love. You’re always willing to hear your SO’s side of the story, always willing to give the benefit of the doubt, always willing to accommodate your partner’s needs and wishes. 

But, what’s your partner willing to do for you? Don’t be afraid to put yourself first sometimes, Libra. You deserve to receive the kind of love that you continually give out! 

Additionally, don’t give anyone your time and energy if they’re not worth it. Not everyone deserves you!

Scorpio: The wild child

Jakesastrology

Attention! We’ve got a Gryffindor over here. Scorpio, you’re known for being brave, bold, and dominant. And this applies to your love life too. You’re absolutely fearless! You also love the thrill of the chase. You can’t help it — you want what you can’t have!

Scorpio, don’t be afraid to actually form a genuine connection with someone else. Sometimes your strong, assertive personality gets in the way of people being able to connect with you on a deeper level. 

While your confidence and ability to captivate a room full of admirers is amazing, make sure you leave space for your partner to express their thoughts and feelings too!

Sagittarius: The one that got away

notallgeminis
Swoon — Sagittarius, don’t you know that you’re the one that got away? You’re the free-spirited artist. The adventurous, spontaneous lover who just can’t be tied down! 

Though all your partners admire and appreciate your energetic and spontaneous nature, you sometimes suffer from a fear of commitment, Sag. You’re a restless, turbulent sign. And you find it difficult to imagine yourself finding the ONE that you’re willing to settle down with.

Don’t lose hope, though! That person is out there, waiting for you. So be patient with yourself. Don’t berate yourself for being afraid of commitment. After all, it’s not commitment alone that scares you — it’s the fear of committing to the wrong person, the fear of a boring, conventional love life.

Capricorn: Wifey material

The final earth sign of the zodiac! Capricorn: the grounded, straightforward, assertive partner. You know what you want. And you aren’t afraid to go for it. You value stability and friendship in romantic relationships. You can’t wait for you and your partner to become one of those cute old married couples!

Cautious, sensible Capricorn, don’t let your love life get stale! Remember to spice it up once in a while! I don’t mean to say that you should intentionally create chaos or drama. I simply mean that you should add some excitement to your relationship. For example, try out a new hobby with your SO! Find ways to keep the romance alive. 

Still single? That’s fine too! You’ve always been comfortable with being alone, and you know you don’t need a relationship to feel content or complete.

Aquarius: The intellectual admirer

Jakesastrology
Take everything I said about Capricorns and multiply it by 10. What you’ll get is an intellectual, independent, temperamental Aquarius. Aquarius, you’re a different breed. You struggle to find romantic partners who can keep up with you. You love staying up until 2 a.m. with your SO talking on FaceTime, sending each other funny memes, and having heated debates about controversial, philosophical topics — i.e. is water wet?

Aquarius, don’t settle. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there’s no one out there who will be compatible with your spunky, ambitious energy. But that’s not true — you just need to hang in there and be patient. 

Also, remember not to force a connection that isn’t there. Don’t fall in love with the idea of a person instead of the actual person themself. And try not to idealize or romanticize people who may not be that great for you. One day you’ll meet the right person. And you won’t have to do any work on your end to convince yourself that they’re great — they simply will be. 

Pisces: The creative babe

Jakesastrology
Baby, baby, baby, oh! Thought you’d always be mine! Those lyrics, sung by the Pisces king himself (Justin Bieber, of course), perfectly embody your attitude towards love.

Let me put it simply — Pisces, you’re just looking for somebody to love. You want someone to be your baby! To be yours forever and ever. You’re the dreamy, creative, philosophical, evolved sign. And you want someone to share your ideas and passions with. You want someone to geek out with. You want to talk about the meaning of life, your hopes and dreams, your deepest fears and desires. 

Most importantly, you want someone to match your artistic, idealistic energy! You love to wax poetic about film, novels, and life. And you’re looking for a conversation partner above all else. Fret not — that ideal partner is out there somewhere. Now all you have to do is put yourself out there for them to find you.

Ultimately, no matter what your sign is, love is certainly in the air! So, take some time to explore your own romantic side (and perhaps your partner’s)!
