Dating Guide For Zodiac Signs

If you’re dating an Aries, be prepared to be down for anything

Ah, the fiery ram! Dating an Aries is an adventure on its own. The sign brings a fiery energy that can be exhilarating. Bold Aries are upfront about their feelings and expect the same from the people they are dating, so open and healthy communication is a must. Their spontaneous and adventurous nature might lead to many memorable dates but can also be exhausting after a while, especially if you’re a Virgo. They can come across as self-centred and non-commital, but once they’re into someone, they’ll stick with them through thick and thin.

If you’re dating a Taurus, be prepared to be pampered with the finer things in life

Reliable, sensual, and loyal Taureans are ruled by the planet Venus. This means they have a discerning eye for beauty. If a Taurus sets their eye on you, know that they’ll make you feel cherished and beautiful with their words and gestures. The Earth sign loves to pamper themselves with the best the world has to offer around them and generously include their partners in their ‘Treat Yo Self’ sessions. This makes them the perfect partners for Libras, a fellow Venus subject. Just remember that dating a Taurus might mean never winning an argument again because they can be as stubborn as the bull that represents them.

If you’re dating a Gemini, be prepared to clear out your calendars

If you’ve managed to snag yourself the social butterfly of the zodiac signs, then congratulations on your soon-to-blow-up network of contacts. Geminis are always surrounded by people thanks to their inherent charm and playful nature. If you’re an introvert, it’s best to lay down boundaries before things get serious otherwise, you’ll always be out of social battery. The air sign is an open book when it comes to feelings and emotions but can be hard to pin down to have any talk about the future. Their compatibility levels with fellow #FreeLove supporters Aquarius are, therefore, sky-high. But this is not to say that Geminis make for excellent partners who have your back once they’ve put their minds to it.

If you’re dating a Cancer, be prepared to talk about your feelings. A lot.

The Moonchild is a natural caregiver, and nurturing those around them is like breathing to them. Cancerians might appear tough on the outside but are gooey, emotional beings on the inside. Once they’ve accepted you into their fold (which is not an easy task, trust us!), get used to being open and honest about your emotions and feelings at any given moment of the day. They get along like a house on fire with fellow water signs Pisces and Scorpio, as the two are also willing to embrace their emotional sides like Cancer.

If you’re dating a Leo, be prepared to be seated front row for the ‘Leo Show’ all day, every day

Leo loves the spotlight but reflects that shine on those around them. Dating a Leo is like constantly being close to the sun; you’ll love to bask in their warmth and light but getting too close can be dangerous. Sounds dramatic? Be prepared to be surrounded by such theatrical statements and actions because Leos are naturally dramatic too. The vivacious and glamorous sign has many layers, though. Leos are creative, generous, and unflinchingly loyal. Their need for attention makes them logically incompatible with Geminis, but never say never!

If you’re dating a Virgo, be prepared to have little details of your life memorised 

Remember the pair of earrings that caught your eye once at the mall but you forgot all about it as you were in a rush? Or the time you mentioned in passing how you’ve always wanted to try your hand at making pottery but never got down to going to a class? You might have forgotten, but your Virgo boo remembers. The attentive and often intimidating sign is a perfectionist and rarely forgets a detail. Their organisational skills are legendary and dating them can give you a chance to kick back and relax. Unless you’re an Aries who quickly gets tired of Virgo’s knack for planning things down to the last detail.

If you’re dating a Libra, be prepared to be swept off your feet

Dating a Libra can often feel like living out all the fantasies you dreamt up while (secretly) reading Mills and Boons novels or watching cheesy 90s rom-coms. Libras believe in old-school romance, even though they’re vocal supporters of not defining relationships with traditional boundaries. Charming and witty Libras can make you swoon and their open-hearted approach to relationships is like a magnet for Geminis and Aquareans. But their need for harmony and balance often renders them paralysed in the face of quick decisions and conflicts.

If you’re dating a Scorpio, be prepared to keep getting surprised

So, you’ve managed to catch the eye of the enigmatic water sign. But are you ready to be faced with their intensity and passion? Scorpios are the personification of the saying ‘still waters run deep’. The guarded and loyal sign is intuitive, so expect them to be one step ahead of you when it comes to guessing your emotional needs in a relationship. Their emotional intensity is mirrored in Cancerians and Pisceans, but Leos and Aquareans find it hard to deal with their passion. 

If you’re dating a Sagittarius, be prepared to be challenged in the best ways possible

Being with a Sagittarius will keep you on your toes, both literally and figuratively! The fun and adventurous sign is always on the go, moving from one experience to another to feed the risk-taking side of their personas. A Sag will never leave you behind, though. They will carry you along with them to explore and grow together as partners. They might be victims of FOMO, but their wild and free nature can pull you out of your comfort zone and explore sides of yourself that you never knew. Their sore lack of tact, however, often leads to them offending more sensitive signs like Pisces or Virgos.

If you’re dating a Capricorn, be prepared to sweat it a little to impress them

Ruled by Saturn, a notoriously tradition-driven and rigid planet, Capricorns are no-nonsense, practical, and down-to-earth people. Their high standards mean you might have to pull up your socks if you want to make a good and lasting impression on them. They admire ambition and do not suffer fools lightly. Finding the right footing with them might be an uphill task, but once you reach the top, it’s all worth it. Taurus and Virgos gel particularly well with Capricorns, but their rigid nature can be a turn-off for Librans and Aries people.

If you’re dating an Aquarius, be prepared to give them a little slack

The rebels of the zodiac are always finding a new cause to champion and dance to their own beat. The sign is notoriously averse to commitment and prefers to take things slow at first. It's easy to fall for a passionate and idealistic Aquarian, but it’s important to remember that they need lots of space. Navigating a conversation about your relationship and its future can be akin to approaching a skittish deer ready to bolt at the first sign of movement. Geminis might find a lost soulmate in them, but Cancerians and Aquarius can be a case of opposites attract.

If you’re dating a Pisces, be prepared to hold their feet firmly to the ground

Dreamy and artistic Pisces often take flights of fancy that end with their heads stuck in the clouds, leaving their partners to serve as a grounding force for them. Being with a Pisces is a revelation as they are unabashedly romantic and do not hide from expressing their joy of being around you. Their sensitive nature allows them to be attuned to your emotions and be empathetic to your needs. The flexible water sign can pair well with most signs but finds it difficult to adhere to the routine and schedules that Virgos and Capricorns hold dear.
