The Zodiac in Love

Disclaimer: with astrology, it is possible to decipher our behaviour or to get a glimpse of the future. This is a theory which cannot be systematically tested. On the other hand, one may wish to follow an easier path, which puts into practice the principles listed in astrology textbooks. In a way, this is precisely the type of practical exercises that we suggest in this Lifestyle column.

We recommend that you follow our advice with both a light and observing mind. Beyond entertainment, the aim is to understand how each of us behaves in various fields; thus, we can better define and fathom, by deduction, how we have developed our natal predispositions. In addition, why wouldn't we be able to guess the talent(s) which we could harness in the future, according to our astrological profile.

The following information is given for signs in their purest form. Depending on the case, it is advisable that you check your planetary dominant or the sign of your Ascendant, the position, quality and aspects of the significators of the area involved, and if applicable, the position of the planets associated with it. For instance, for family affairs, examine the 4th House and its ruler, as well the Moon; for romance, examine the 5th House and its ruler, as well as Venus, etc.

The large number of books we have read, and more particularly, the experience we have drawn from the study of thousands of charts, urge us to be cautious. However, we thought that it may be interesting to provide a few concrete indications, which will turn out to be accurate, quite often.

Aries in love

When love comes down on you, it is a big shock. Suddenly, nothing exists any longer except the loved one, adorned with all the qualities in the world. You are able to reach for the moon and the stars to please him/her.

Your infatuation is often compared to an adrenaline rush, because with you, love is like a sport. The flip side of the medal is that you are not necessarily subtle. You take everything literally, and you get easily miffed if you are rejected.

Moreover, your feelings are like a flash in the pan. They disappear as quickly as they ignite, because your flaw is that you tire rapidly.

Suggestion for Aries

Try not to get riled up, or at least not too speedily.

Some Aries Examples

You will find on Astrotheme thousands of natal charts of celebrities who have the Sun in Aries, Aries rising, or Mars dominant. The former are sorted in popularity order, whereas the latter are sorted according to the strongest dominant. Since each planet also rules a House – sometimes two houses – you may want to also look at charts having a strong 1st House.

Taurus in love

A sentimentalist, you become even kinder than usual when you fall in love. You shower the person loved with special attentions which often consist in sensorial pleasures: a beautiful table, an opera, or a romantic stroll in the nature.

In short, love cannot be shared and must be experienced concretely. For instance, complicated or virtual relationships are not at all for you.

You are deeply put off by modern technologies, or worse, by dating sites and other applications like Tinder.

Suggestion for Taurus

Accept that your significant other is more intellectual than you.

Some Taurus Examples

Gemini in love

Owing to your impulsive nature, you do not have the reputation for being the most committed lover, male or female. Queen of socialites or inconstant charmer, you give your best in the beginning, when you want to seduce, without consequence above all.

Let us mention neither "prey" nor a specific person, let alone tragic passion or very serious relationship; they would prompt you to run away.

Actually, you could be fine in a very stable relationship, provided that it is based on exchange, gentle humor, and that it does not become smothering.

Suggestion for Gemini

Learn to see without fear the advantages of living together as a couple.

Some Gemini Examples

Cancer in love

A little fragile thing, or a shy big boy, this is how you are generally described.

Love makes you even more vulnerable – if possible – hypersensitive, unfortunately too passive and awaiting the reactions of your significant other, who may not realize the result generated, because most of the time you get flustered.

You need to feel confident to get started; above all, refrain from mothering the person elected, for this would backfire on you. Under this condition, you can become a seduction champion.

Suggestion for Cancer

Bear in mind that the person in front of you has no desire to harm you. At worst, you will know where you stand.

Leo in love

For you, love goes hand in hand with nobility of heart. It catapults you to the throne, and your loved one becomes as irresistible as you.

If you can become a couple on which all eyes are set, you will be fulfilled. Due to your generous temperament, you have a gift for expressing your feelings, as long as your significant other knows how to honor you and, it is true, to flatter you.

On the other hand, you are not so skilled when it comes to down-to-earth and boring things of everyday life.

Suggestion for Leo

Learn to come down among mortals, and take the garbage out. For once, curb your self-pride.

Virgo in love

Driven by reason and sense of responsibility, you merely – or not at all – know what affective frenzy is about.

Yet, you are not impervious to the qualities of the person you have chosen. On the contrary, you list them with the meticulousness of an accountant. It is hoped that the asset column is longer than the liability column, otherwise, shoo.

On your side, you look at yourself through the same humble or even harsh glasses, and you are most unlikely to love someone who does not belong to the same social standing as you.

Suggestion for Virgo

Add some fantasy in your expectations, and dare to get out of your ordinary intellectual patterns.

One might as well say that you go out of your way for your loved one, and that you give priority to his/her desires more than to yours. According to many members of your entourage, you are a dream partner, caring, sweet, subtle, and attractive.

For you, love is passion or nothing. Half-hearted feelings are not your cup of tea. You want a spicy brew and expect a lot of your partner.

He/She should better commit himself/herself body and soul, otherwise you will not mince your words or, even if it is painful, you will prefer to break up in some cases. Besides, you frequently add a dash of drama in your romantic affairs on a daily basis.

Proudly carrying the flag of your love, you feel that you have wings on your heels. Your loved one is necessarily a cause you want to fight for and to be worthy of.

As a rule, your fear infidelity and betrayals. You do not see the reason why you should waste time flirting or simply testing various relationships. Therefore, your approach strategy takes time, on the same scale as the sound project of life you aim at.

Symbiosis is the concept which sums up well how you behave in love. You wait as long as necessary for the dream love, made of gentleness and sharing. To the extent that this feeling needs no word to express itself.

It is like a little music bringing your sweetheart to you. Actually, given your sensual nature, you manage to catch your “prey” and to cast a spell on it, provided you show pragmatism.
