‘Tis the season of love, Panthers. But what makes you feel most loved? Discover your love language, as predicted by your zodiac sign.
Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’re always up for an adventure, and you need someone who keeps you on your toes. Think: spontaneous plans. Calls in the middle of the night asking you to go stargaze. They make the plans for a cross-country road trip, so you get to enjoy the views along the way.
Taurus (Apr 20-May 20): Authenticity is everything to a Taurus. Your ideal best friend or partner is someone you can be weird with: sharing (and supporting) each other’s niche interests, having inside jokes, and laughing ‘til your stomach hurts. You can be your full self around each other, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Gemini (May 21-Jun 21): Geminis can be a little scatterbrained – so to you, planning is a love language. I’m talking, “Be ready at seven, I’ll pick you up, wear the dress I bought you last weekend.” Getting the reservations for dinner and scheduling the Uber, all while allotting time for you to get ready so you can look (and feel) your best. How romantic!
Cancer (Jun 22-Jul 22): To be known is to be loved, Cancer. Your ideal partner takes the time and effort to really get to know you: they memorize your Starbucks order and notice when you change your perfume or shampoo. They won’t just compliment your smile, but the freckles you’re insecure about, proving they love who you authentically are.
Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22): Your love language is mementos: photos of you and your loved ones to cherish forever – preferably of your good side. Leos are surprisingly sentimental, so bonus points if they’re Polaroids, because it makes them more tangible… and more aesthetic to post on your story!
Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22): Virgos long to share their ideas, interests, and thoughts with a partner or close friend. One unique way to do this is by sharing literature: give a Virgo a copy of a book complete with annotations and little notes, or pass back and forth a journal, recording little entries and scrapbooking your memories together. If you’re a true romantic, a mailed letter sealed with a stamp can also win over a Virgo’s heart.
Libra (Sep 23-Oct 23): Yes, music is a love language. Libras fall in love through shared earbuds and curated playlists. A Libra’s “I love you” is “this song reminds me of you,” the intimacy of being thought of in a melody or learning a duet together. You’ll learn their favorite song on guitar and make them a mixtape like it’s the 1980s. Now that’s game.
Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 21): You feel most loved when someone appreciates your intellectual side. They read your favorite philosopher, you fervently discuss the movie together as you exit the theater, and exchange perspectives on the humanities. What could be more fulfilling than a deep conversation with your favorite companion?
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21): You want someone who isn’t ashamed to show how much they care for you. Out with nonchalance. In with dipping you on the dance floor, holding your hand in the grocery store, and promposing to you in front of your teammates. These public gestures assure you they’re your biggest fan.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your ideal partner (or best friend) doesn’t expect you to slow the pace of your unceasingly high-achieving life. Instead, they push you with study dates and motivational texts to hype you up when you’re feeling down. You like to be inspired by the people you surround yourself with, and dream of achieving your goals together.
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18): After a stressful day, you wanna decompress while still spending time with your partner. I introduce: together-but-alone time. Lying on the couch side-by-side, you playing your video game and them reading their book, both sharing a bowl of popcorn. It’s recharge time in a shared space with your closest loved one.
Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20): While a Pisces might scoff at the idea of their love language being “gifts,” you have a soft spot for crafty, handmade presents. Those personalized, Pinterest-worthy gifts that weren’t bought but made with love are worth more than any gift card or shopping spree to you.
