How To Tell If He's 'The One', Based On His Zodiac Sign
Each zodiac sign has specific personality traits that reveal his true feelings for you.

How are you supposed to know if he's 'The One'? I know that I, for one, have had a “good feeling” about more than my share of guys who turned out to be, shall we say, not the one.
Meanwhile, this all begs an important question: Is there even any such thing as “The One?”
Even if you’re a committed monogamist, that doesn’t mean you’ve spent your whole life just waiting for that one perfect person to come riding in on a white horse. We all fall in and out of love all the time, and just because something didn’t work out doesn’t necessarily mean they weren’t your soulmate. It just means they’re not the one anymore.
The point is, life is full of chances to fall in love, out of love, and back in love all over again. We can all fall in love in many different ways with many different people at many different times throughout our lives, so there’s no need to stress about finding “The One.” The world is full of ones and you have to trust your gut when it comes to these things.
But, as many of us have learned at some point or another, sometimes your heart will steer you wrong — luckily, we can look to astrology to get us back onto the right track.
As your heart isn’t always the best judge of character (love is blind, and when you’re feeling all love-struck, your heart thinks everyone is the one), but it's hard to argue with personality traits.
Find out the tells zodiac signs have that reveal their true feelings and how to know if he's the one based on his zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
The Aries man is a natural competitor. He’s driven and determined and he wants to be first in everything. He sees normal, everyday scenarios as opportunities for competition and victory. And, yes, that includes dating.
You’ll know your Aries guy is the one when you feel like his teammate, not his opponent (or, worse, his trophy). When he wants you on his side, it means he knows you two are stronger together than he could ever be on his own. Get ready, you two can conquer the world together.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
The Taurus guy is naturally loyal and craves commitment. However, that doesn’t mean he’s willing to just hop into a relationship with anybody. When Taurus is ready to settle down, he means it. For a Taurus, there’s no second guessing when it comes to love.
When you’ve found your perfect match in a Taurus man, you’ll both know it by how comfortable and stable you’ll feel. Taurus men can’t stand having any doubt or insecurity in a relationship, so when you two find each other, there won’t be any room for doubt.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
It’s no secret that Gemini guys can be hard to love. They’re notoriously inconsistent and, unfortunately, unfaithful. Given this reputation, it can be scary to realize you’re losing your heart to a Gemini.
You’ll know your Gemini guy is the one when you’re ready to put those fears aside. If he’s the one, you’ll have no reason to worry, because he won’t give you one.
Gemini wants life to be a non-stop adventure. But if he’s the one, he won’t want to have that adventure with anyone but you.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Like all water signs, Cancer is just swimming in the feels. He’s all about getting in touch with his emotional side, so when he has real feelings for you, you’ll both know it.
You’ll know he’s the one when you know your feelings for him are just as strong. Cancer’s emotions run deep, and it can be hard to match his emotional intensity.
When your Cancer guy is the one, you may be surprised by the depth of your own feelings. But the most surprising part will be how effortless and natural it feels.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
The Leo man thinks he’s a king, and for good reason. He’s confident but kind-hearted and a natural-born leader. He wants the best things in life, and you’ll know he’s the one when he treats you like you’re one of them.
Leo knows his worth and he won’t settle for anything less than the best. He’s on the hunt for his queen. When you’ve found each other, you’ll both know it and you’ll treat each other like royalty. When your Leo guy is the one, you won’t mind giving him the royal treatment, because you’ll be getting it right back.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo is very cautious and detail-oriented. They want to make sure they really think everything through carefully before they commit to something.
Virgo will know you’re the one because they’ve spent way more time thinking about it and carefully considering all the pros and cons than anyone ever should.
Meanwhile, you’ll know Virgo is the one if you’ve stuck around long enough to wait for them to figure it out. Frankly, dealing with perfectionist Virgo can be exhausting. If you’d made it this far, he’s the one.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Libra is all about balance. If you two are meant to be, you’ll both feel in perfect harmony with each other. Your relationship will feel fair and you’ll both see each other as equals, no power struggles here.
Libras want to keep the peace, but they won’t stay in a relationship that just isn’t meant to be. If you two are meant to be together, you’ll both work to maintain that balance and harmony, but it will feel effortless.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
If you don’t believe in love at first sight, you’ve never fallen for a Scorpio. Falling in love with a Scorpio is a lightning flash kind of love, that’s all there is to it. It’s dangerous, it’s risky, but it’s oh so worth it. Once it hits you, there’s no going back.
If your Scorpio guy is the one, you’ll know immediately. It will be intense and it will feel completely inevitable. And yes, it can be scary to fall so hard so fast.
There’s never any guarantee, but when it comes to loving a Scorpio, you have no choice but to let your guard down and embrace vulnerability. It can be a really beautiful thing.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
The Sagittarius guy is energetic and goal-oriented. With an optimistic eye to the future, Sagittarius can be a great guy to settle down with because he genuinely wants to build a life with you.
However, his high energy and relentless optimism can be both a blessing and a curse, especially when it leads him to make big promises and plans he just can’t keep.
You’ll know your Sagittarius guy is the one when his goals and plans for the future are big but still realistic. When you two can build a life together that doesn’t feel too good to be true, you’ll know he’s the one.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorn is very family-oriented. When you’re in love with a Capricorn, it feels like coming home. It’s a very warm and fuzzy kind of love, and this guy will make you feel like you’ve known each other your whole lives.
You’ll know your Capricorn guy is the one when you feel that sense of instant peace when you’re with him. Whether or not you come from a family-oriented background yourself, you’ll know a Capricorn is the one when he makes you realize the value of that kind of unconditional love.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
He’s a deep thinker with big ideas. He’s innovative and always trying to come up with the next big thing. This also means he can be a little bit of a know-it-all.
You’ll know your Aquarius man is the one when he wants to share his big ideas with you instead of just showing off. When you feel like he really values your input as much as you really value what he has to say, you two are sure to make a good match.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces is the most intuitive and psychic of all the signs. A deep, intensely spiritual sign, your Pisces guy lives in his own world. When he’s the one, you’ll feel like you’re a part of that world with him, and you’ll know it’s a unique position to be in.
If your Pisces guy is the one, you’ll feel it deep inside. You’ll know when you feel like you two are connecting on every level, even levels you didn’t know you had. Loving a Pisces man is a deep, spiritual experience, and you’ll know he’s the one on a psychic level.
