Andromeda DavisUnderstanding your “love language”–the way you express and receive love–is vital to building strong, healthy romantic relationships. The Zodiac can offer insight into your love style–and that of your partner.
Read on to discover how each sign says “I love you.”
Aries (March 21-April 19)
It’s no surprise that Aries shows affection through action. This fiery sign is passionate and competitive, so challenging them to a game or taking them on a surprise date is a great way to win their heart. Aries also loves to be acknowledged for their awesomeness, so make sure to give them sincere praise, too.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love. The best way to show affection to a Taurus is to give them a heartfelt gift. Especially if that gift is food. This sign of the Zodiac is also a world-class cuddler, so be prepared for lazy mornings together under a pile of blankets.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Gemini hates being bored. They love someone who can keep up with their quick wit and boundless curiosity, so brush up on your trivia before wooing a Gemini. The best way to show you care is to listen to them and remember what they say.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Cancer is a deeply emotional sign who needs a full commitment from their partner to feel safe and loved. They are nurturing, gentle souls who need lots of reassurance that you care. Go the extra mile to help your lil’ crab feel loved!
Leo (July 23-August 22)
It’s really important to publicly acknowledge Leo as your bae. These lions will get really insecure if they think you’re ashamed of them. Take lots of selfies together and proudly post them on social media.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Virgo shows love through balanced checkbooks and perfectly made beds. They’re not overly romantic, but they do want to be appreciated for their hard work and attention to detail.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libra needs a partner in crime, someone who balances their scales and shares their passions. This sign will bend backward to ensure that you don’t ever experience conflict, so do your part to maintain a happy, healthy relationship.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpios need to be loved deeply and completely. They’re used to potential partners getting scared off, but once you get past their defenses, this sign of the Zodiac is surprisingly soft. Be patient and honest with them, and you’ll be rewarded with an epic romance.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
This Earth sign needs freedom more than anything else. Don’t try to tie a Sagittarius down, but do find ways for the two of you to go on adventures together.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
Capricorn is a practical, hardworking sign with no interest in playing games. If you want a relationship with a Cap, be clear about your intentions from the start. And if you want to show them you care, follow through on your promises.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius isn’t necessarily interested in a traditional relationship. You have many connections to different people, some romantic and some simply platonic. If a person comes into your life who is willing to vibe with you on the same frequency, that’s good enough.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces fall in love all the time! This Water sign prefers old-fashioned declarations of romance and traditional courting gifts. Think flowers, chocolates, and jewelry!
