The Kind of Partner You Need, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

ARIES

You need someone who will value you loyalty, without abusing it or taking it for granted. Someone who will appreciate and thank you and reciprocate that ride or die spirit. Someone who is going to hold your hand as tightly as you hold theirs.

TAURUS

You need someone who is going to share similar values, Taurus. Someone who knows when it’s time to splurge and when it’s time to save for what matters most to you both. Someone who shares whatever they have in good times and bad. 

GEMINI

You need someone who can anticipate your needs, or at least learn to caffeinate you at the appropriate times throughout the day and make sure you fit in a snack after going non-stop head down for hours. Someone who sees the little baby underneath the adult.

CANCER

You need someone who can hear your story once and carry the knowledge of what that means about you as a person with them from then on out. You’re not going to dwell on where you’ve been, but need someone who understands where you’re headed.

LEO

You need a dancer, plain and simple. Someone who is going to cut a rug with you at every wedding you get invited to and is ready to show off their best moves at a moment’s notice. Someone who just wants to jump right in and participate in the fun.

VIRGO

You need someone who is so stubborn it’s almost pathological. Not to continue an argument with you into infinity, but to cling so irrationally to you and the relationship no matter how many times you push them away. Someone who can weather your storms.

LIBRA

You need someone who is going to keep things new. Someone who won’t fall into the easy routines, and will keep seeking out new coffee shops or vintage malls to give you a steady stream of new adventures and experiences. Someone who will surprise you.

SCORPIO

You need a cheeseball. Someone who is just willing to lay it on thicker than acrylic paint without any shame whatsoever. You’ve had enough of suitors who shy away from the slightest sign of affection. Get yourself a golden retriever who never fails to greet you at the door.

SAGITTARIUS

You need someone who respects your independence. Someone who is willing to go with you to the ends of the earth, or at least be waiting for you at home once you get back. Someone who never wants to put you in a box, and believes in your endless possibilities.

CAPRICORN

You need someone who is going to pull you away from work. Someone who makes morning coffee and dinner time the highlight of your day. Someone who always keeps the conversation flowing, and helps you fall peacefully asleep free of worry.

AQUARIUS

You need someone who shares your values. Someone who has spent the time to educate themselves on serious topics and has derived their own points of view based on data and research. You need the opposite of ambivalence when it comes to love.

PISCES

You need someone who is comfortable talking, but won’t trespass on your cherished quiet time. Someone who will let you wander off in your own mind for as long as you need, but will remind you to eat and sleep and take care of your adult responsibilities too.
