“We need not feel ashamed of flirting with the zodiac. The zodiac is well worth flirting with.”
– D.H. Lawrence
Astrology may seem like a bit of a leap for modern man, but who’s to say that which science has yet to explain is completely useless, especially when it has governed the decisions of love and war for thousands of years! So what does your sun sign say about you?
Aries
Aries is a fire sign, associated with the planet Mars, named for the God of War. An Aries man (or woman!) adores the thrill of the chase, the conquest of successful seduction. A partner who plays hard to get and always keeps you on your toes is the type who will give you the romantic adventuring you so desperately crave. Don’t let life pass you by in boredom!
Taurus
Represented by The Bull, Taurus is an Earth sign and ruled by the planet Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty. The epitome of the “tall, dark and handsome”, the Taurus influence ensures a love of strength, decadence and sensuality, including good food, a beautiful home and a great listener for a partner. Taurus needs to feel secure, so focus on the aspects of the root chakra – stability, safety and dependability.
Gemini
An air sign ruled by the planet Mercury, God of communication, Gemini is represented by the twins and is often as changeable as two different people who look identical! The Gemini appreciates brains over brawn or beauty and these partners cherish their independence, so allow yourselves to be flexible in your day-to-day lives and keep open the lines of communication so you both get what you need without stifling routines.
Cancer
Cancer is a water sign ruled by the Moon, the “planet” of emotions. Expect the Cancer lover to be passionate and full of love – and lots of other emotions! Get ready for a wild ride. A peaceful household is incredibly important and family is what really matters. Your lover needs lots of love and affection and you can expect that all your emotions will rub off, good or bad, so be careful how you express your feelings.
Leo
Coming back around again to the fire sign, Leo the lion is ruled by the sun and this lover is big all around – heart, ego, and generous spirit. Leo loves to spoil, partially from a need to be constantly reassured. That big ego is a huge looming target that is easily hit and shattered, so be very careful with every word and action, and don’t put Leo up on a pedestal because even the slightest slip up could send your lover tumbling to the ground.
Virgo
Another earth sign ruled by Mercury the Communicator, Virgos are goal driven and responsible, a dependable hard worker. Virgo likely puts a lot of stock in their ability to provide and serve their lover, so they need a sympathetic ear and lots of compliments to make up for any kind of inferiority complex. A clean and tidy home is incredibly important, especially if you expect Virgo to relax and feel sexy.
Libra
Another sign ruled by Venus the Lover, Libras tend to have their nose stuck a bit up in the air, the sign that rules them. They want to be admired, adored, even worshipped and tend to be a bit passive when it comes to seduction. Go ahead and take the driver’s seat, but don’t let your assertiveness turn into aggressive behavior – Libra needs peace and harmony at all costs.
Scorpio
Scorpio is another water sign ruled by two different planets – war-loving Mars and distant Pluto – which means Scorpio often cycles between being incredibly passionate and incredibly distant. Expect mystery that borders on secrecy, but don’t push too hard because Scorpio will take any kind of concern as an attack and will fight back with teeth bared. This lover wants to try it all, so if you are a bit on the vanilla side, prepare to have your boundaries pushed!
Sagittarius
Another fire sign, this one ruled by Jupiter, King of the Gods and master of the sky and thunder. Sagittarius is a lover of the outdoors and wants a partner who is completely independent because like a force of lightning, Sag cannot be caged. Easily bored, be sure to keep things interesting by learning new things and having new experiences as often as possible!
Capricorn
Capricorn is an earth sign ruled by the planet Saturn, the god of the harvest. Like the grain that Saturn reaps, this lover needs to be nurtured carefully in order to keep up the dedication necessary to reach what might be some lofty goals – but don’t mistake, Capricorn will reach those seemingly impossible dreams, no matter how long it takes!
Aquarius
The final air sign, ruled by Father Sky Uranus, Aquarius the water-bearer has a dream, ideals and visions that might seem strange and too intellectual for the average lover. This partner needs to be stimulated in mind first before anything else, marching to the beat of their own drum in search of new knowledge. Aquarius wants a lover who can be a companion of this journey.
Pisces
Another wishy-washy water sign, Pisces the fish is ruled by Neptune, God of the Ocean. Pisces is a dreamer and needs a strong partner in life to help realize these dreams, because like the sea, these lovers are temperamental and changeable, incredibly sensitive not just to emotions but to energy, making them the perfect Tantric partners!
