Why the Zodiac Signs Fall in Love

It’s human nature to relish in that tingling, heart-warming feeling of falling in love; but, did you know that your zodiac sign can greatly influence compatibility and who you fall in love with and what qualities you are most attracted to? Astrology can help you in your quest to find the perfect partner and to have a deeper understanding of why you fall in love.

ARIES IN LOVE (Aries dates: March 20 - April 19)

Bold and brave Aries, you don’t beat around the bush when it comes to love. All you need to sway your heart is a heap of flaming passion and a partner willing to release all boundaries and bare his or her soul. You’re not one for romantic gestures and whispering of sweet nothings so your ideal soulmate is someone who will welcome your not-so-subtle ways. Aries tend to fall for lovers who balance out their sometimes irrational impulsiveness while at the same time do not totally dampen their fiery passion. Aries, you crave some tender loving care and a love match who brings out your gentle side.

TAURUS IN LOVE (Taurus dates: April 20 - May 20)

You, Taurus will fall for a compatible partner who wines and dines you – your zodiac sign is all about romance and roses. Your personality is slow and steady, but definitely not boring, you are a sexy and sensual member of the zodiac. Rooted to the earth, you yearn for a partner who will bring a little more spontaneity and lightness to your life. You seek a crush who will inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and view your relationship for the long haul. You are easily hurt and slow to forgive, so you are best matched with a partner who is loyal and tender with your heart. You gain comfort from the predictability of relationships but still desire a mate who will add some spice to your twosome.

GEMINI IN LOVE (Gemini dates: May 21 - June 20)

Vibrant and clever Gemini, you love to fall in love with love; but sometimes you struggle to take your relationship to the next level. Your zodiac sign desires a love match who accepts your need for independence and lets you move slowly. You’re most compatible with a lover who understands your contrasting nature coupled with your need to please, which can come across as inauthentic to some. Once you do decide to take that final step and open your heart, there’s no stopping the expanse of your love and dedication. You aren’t afraid to determine your own unique style of relationship and are willing to push the boundaries in bed, bouncing between playing the leading role and being a docile participant.

CANCER IN LOVE (Cancer dates: June 21 - July 21)

What your zodiac sign seeks above all else in a relationship is emotional security. Comfort is at the top of a Cancer’s wish list and you derive great pleasure from creating a soothing love nest for you and your beloved. Typical of your crab-like nature, you tend to hide your true emotions and feelings and build barriers to love, so you are best suited to a relationship with a partner who has the patience to get under your shell. In return, Cancer, you are one of the most caring of the zodiac signs and an expert listener. You are easily hurt, so you are most compatible with signs who possess sensitivity and tact. You don’t commit easily and struggle with intimacy, but once you truly give another your heart, you are theirs forever.

LEO IN LOVE (Leo dates: July 22 - August 22)

The most important thing to you Leo is to feel appreciated and admired in a relationship. You have a generous, forgiving heart that you bravely expose, but only if you feel appreciated and admired in return. Leo loves the ritual of romance and dating and seek lovers who encourage extravagant gestures and bold acts of romance. You crave a partner who appreciates and honors your innate confidence, dignity and unwavering loyalty. You have a lusty libido but are not necessarily easily intimate. Your sign doesn't welcome overwhelming and gratuitous affection but prefers a partner who is self-contained and regal.

VIRGO IN LOVE (Virgo dates: August 23 - September 22)

Virgo, you are picky about whom and how you date and your reserved nature means you’d rather be alone than waste your time on meaningless encounters. Your sign enjoys dates that stimulate the intellect and you place great value on good manners and integrity. You are attracted to partners who are clean and neat and who are constantly working on their self-development. You are most compatible with an easy-going, gentle lover. You love the anticipation of intimacy and are enticed by a good set up – candles, music etc. Even though you Virgo may take a long time to open your heart and fall in love, once you do, it is quite spectacular. When you’re in love, Virgo, you’ll do anything to please your partner.

LIBRA IN LOVE (Libra dates: September 23 - October 22)

Soft-hearted and affectionate, Libra seeks a partner who brings harmony and balance to a relationship. Libra, you wear your heart on your sleeve and attract lovers who desire a direct approach to love. Your sign is most impressed by witty conversation and loves to flirt with a sharp mind. The most well-mannered kid in the room, you need a partner who has the confidence to let you roam free. Your social nature means you crave companionship; but you can take a long time to commit to that special someone. When you fall in love, it will be with a partner who doesn’t take advantage of your natural niceness and pushes you towards being more independent and self-aware.

SCORPIO IN LOVE (Scorpio dates: October 23 - November 21)

Extremely romantic Scorpio, you seek passionate love that will transform your soul. Creative and complicated, deep and sometimes dark, loving a Scorpio is not for the faint-hearted. You value integrity and loyalty and are most compatible with a lover who values the same and accepts your intense, fixed personality, while also being open to a dash of drama. As one of the most erotic signs of the zodiac, you crave intimate sex; you want to merge completely with your beloved – on all levels. Swinging between the pleasure and pain of a dramatic love affair fuels your fire in a relationship. A trait of Scorpio is to be possessive and jealous, so you appreciate a partner who can handle the drama.

SAGITTARIUS IN LOVE (Sagittarius dates: November 22 - December 20)

Fun-loving and affectionate, Sagittarius is best suited to an equally gregarious compatible mate who is up for a little adventure. Your exuberant nature and great lust for life means you require a partner who revels in the joy of life too. You tend to get restless in love, so you do well with a lover who keeps you interested with fresh ideas and new experiences. You’re a free spirit who hates feeling trapped by another person or situation, so until you find the right one, you may prefer to be single. At the same time, Sagittarius, you crave a soulmate to journey with you.

CAPRICORN IN LOVE (Capricorn dates: December 21 - January 19)

Your realistic, practical nature means you like to follow the rules in love, dating and compatibility. Once you fall in love, you are totally focused on your partner and quick to commit. Capricorns are not afraid of conflict in a love relationship and are ready to put in the work, if needed. A good date for a Capricorn is a classy date, complete with charm, good wine and a well-dressed partner. Capricorns relish the build up to intimacy; flirty messages and languorous love sessions appeal. Your ideal mate will occasionally take charge, giving you a break from playing leader while simultaneously allowing you to feel cared for.

AQUARIUS IN LOVE (Aquarius dates: January 20 - February 17)

Aquarius, you are an Air sign so can be unemotional and unconventional when it comes to falling in love. You desire both intimacy and independence and can struggle to find a sweetheart who understands this dichotomy. You are content with casual love affairs until you really fall for that special someone and fulfil that secret desire you have for a deep emotional connection. Your unpredictable and free-spirited demeanor attracts partners who thrive on this uncertain energy. You are one of the most sexually uninhibited of the zodiac signs and your ideal mate is someone willing to experiment. Your eccentric nature attracts lovers who enjoy peeling the layers to get the real core of who you are.

PISCES IN LOVE (Pisces dates: February 18 - March 19)

Sweet and sensual Pisces you reveal your feelings through acts of love. With your ethereal, intuitive nature you are attracted to partners who ground you – often earth signs are your best compatible match. You sometimes struggle to articulate your feelings, so your ultimate sweetheart will be someone who intuitively understands you and who you connect with spiritually. You fluctuate between fantasy and reality and require a partner who’s both safe yet allows you that freedom you so crave. Your innate compassion, Pisces, causes you to often fall for dark souls you desperately want to help. Your ideal lover won’t take advantage of this vulnerability.
