There’s something undeniably cozy about falling in love in Stardew Valley.

April: Alex

April souls, you tend to be a sporty sign and love a bit of good-natured competition. This makes Alex the best match for your farmer in Stardew Valley—though, like many of the eligible bachelors, he comes off a bit standoffish at first, you love a good challenge. You might also appreciate the fact that he’s a character that can be easily married before summer even hits, so if your competitive personality is making you speedrun the game, Alex is a good option for you.

May: Leah

May, Leah is an artsy nature-lover with a cozy cottage by the lake—perfect for someone like you, an earth sign who loves comfort. Her pre-marriage daily schedule sees her wandering the woods or sketching at the lake, a few in-game spots that will probably appeal to your birth month, too. Plus, after marrying Leah, you’ll get a lovely artist’s studio as an addition to your home—what May wouldn’t appreciate that? Leah will mostly give you nature-related gifts (like seasonal flowers), which will probably warm your pixelated heart.

June: Sam

June natives, you’d probably most appreciate heart events with a Stardew spouse who can be both independent and thoughtful. Are you tired of half the singles on the dating scene having no hobbies? Sam can fix that (and he actually has a few friends, too). Even better, his home addition is one of the most pleasant rooms out of all the bachelors. You’re probably a player who has a lot going on and mostly wants a spouse who can be useful to you without getting in the way—Sam is a great spouse for that.

July: Shane

If you were born in July, you’re the Stardew player most likely to be working on gaining ten hearts with everyone you possibly can. You’re bringing leeks to George right now, aren’t you? To you, the most meaningful way to play Stardew Valley is to enjoy the story behind it by getting to know all of the villagers (yes, even Pierre). This means that Shane’s emotional heart events will be the most meaningful to you before and after marriage. Besides, how could you pass up a guy who loves chickens?

August: Emily

If you were born in August, you love to be in the spotlight, and you need someone who can share that sentiment without taking too much of the attention off you. So, why not marry Stardew’s favorite fashion designer? Not only will she give you extravagant gifts after marriage, you’ll also be able to enjoy her adorably colorful bonus room she’ll add to your home. She’s got lots of fun, quirky heart events for you along the way, which will appeal to your own (farmer’s) sense of self-expression.

September: Penny

Those born in October, you’re highly conflict-avoidant, which means you don’t want a Stardew spouse who will cause drama during their heart events. You’ll appreciate Penny for her sweet, comforting charm—not only does she tutor villager kids during the day, she’ll even bring a gorgeous library to your home after she marries you. As a type who is great at resolving tensions, you’ll probably also want to help Penny smooth things over with Pam and provide the two of them with a better life in the valley—if you’re focused on completing the community center, related events there will be even more meaningful during Penny’s storyline. 

October: Harvey

September, as someone who is a bit of a perfectionist, it makes sense that you’d be aiming to marry the town’s only doctor. Not only does he run a clean, tidy practice of his own, but he’s also one of the more mature bachelors available to marry—which probably suits your in-game vibe best. Harvey’s extension to your farmer’s house is probably organized enough to not mess with your cottage’s aesthetic. Plus, you’re such a perfectionist, you’ve probably never been out past 1am before—which also means you don’t need to harbor any resentment towards the doctor for charging you $1,000 as a curfew retrieval fee. 

November: Sebastian

Sebastian is known for being introverted and extremely mysterious, somewhat like your birth month. You love getting to know people and uncovering their personal storie—Sebastian is a closed book, which will make his heart events more meaningful to you than others’ in the valley. He also lives up in the mountains, a scenic (and unpopulated) area you probably enjoy visiting—which is important, seeing as you’ll have to go there most days in order to find Sebastian. You’re likely to have a soft spot for the moody, rebellious character trope—you’ll be happy to complete the image with Sebastian’s heart events, including video game battles and a motorcycle ride.

December: Abigail

December born individuals, you need to marry a Stardew spouse who is quirky, entertaining, adventurous, and maybe a little weird—just like you. Abigail is one of the most beloved spouses of Stardew for a reason, and it’s not just because she loves munching on quartz. You can find her running all over town on any given day, and many of her heart events are some of the most exciting out of any bachelorette. Whether she’s adventuring with you in the mines, offering you strange gifts post-marriage, or just playing her flute in the garden, Abigail is one of the Stardew spouses who never loses their personality after marrying the player.

January: Haley

January natives, you may think that Haley is the polar opposite of your birth month. And she is—at first. But players who give Haley a chance know that not only is she one of the best spouses in-game post-marriage, but that she’s also quite useful to players; her marriage gifts (mostly food items) are relatively elaborate recipes. You’ll probably appreciate the challenge of convincing Haley to talk to you through plenty of well-timed gifts, but your discipline will win out in the end—and getting to see Haley’s character arc is well worth the wait. In the end, she transforms into a spouse much more befitting of your birth month.

February: Maru

February, of course your birth month would be set up with the town’s inventor. Maru is always working on inventing something new—she loves technology and space, and you’ll get to enjoy the same hobbies with her during her heart events. You need a Stardew spouse who is a little quirky and isn’t afraid to be herself, so setting yourself up to marry Maru is the way to go. Best of all, your house will be revamped with a telescope, computers, and even a robot.

March: Elliot

March, as the dreamiest sign of the year, you also deserve to be set up with the dreamiest Stardew spouse. As a water sign, you probably already spend a lot of time at Pelican Town’s beach—why not woo the only person who lives down there, too? You’ll be able to appreciate Elliot’s cozy cabin and his love of music (who doesn’t love a beautiful piano solo?) and, best of all, his post-marriage heart event will appeal to your love of romance. It’s safe to say that Elliot’s heart events are some of the most romantic out of all the villagers in the valley—plus, are you really going to pass up love letters from a charming writer?
