How To Make Your Crush Like You, Based On Their Zodiac Sign
Step 1: make contact.
getty One of the great things about being familiar with your zodiac sign and astrology is that you not only learn so much about yourself, you learn about other people as well. Knowing more than what your horoscope just says can give you insight into the kinds of behaviors others have and what they respond to.
When you really like someone and have feelings for them, it can be agony when you don't know how to make your crush like you. But that's certainly something astrology can help with.
Your crush might really respond to a direct approach, so telling them how you feel is the best way to get their attention. Maybe they’re more about subtle ways of showing your feelings. Some people are huge flirts, so wouldn't you want to know that going in so you don't misinterpret their flirting as interest in you?
What if your crush has feelings for you but the two of you have nothing in common and aren’t the same kind of people? There may be too many obstacles to having your relationship work.
No matter what their zodiac sign is, there are some important things you have to do. Don’t watch their every move from across the room; instead, get up and talk to them. And don’t just speak with them once, keep in touch — text them or comment on their social media.
Your crush might not turn into a romantic partner, but they might become a great friend or even a work ally if you just get to know them.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
If your crush is an Aries, show them how great you'd be together and how you could keep up with them. Aries are always doing something and they love to take risks and be spontaneous, so show them how down you are for any kind of adventure they have in mind.
But you don't have to wait for them to come up with an idea. If you think of something exciting and fun, take a chance and invite them. They'll be impressed at your ability to have a good time and they'll see how attractive your passion for life is.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Make them jealous. Yes, using jealousy to attract someone is old-school, but there's a reason it's lasted the test of time: it works. Taurus are a jealous sign and you may as well use that to your advantage.
The truth is, nothing brings out those secret emotions as jealousy. If they see you flirting with someone else or talking about a great date you went on, they may be surprised at their reaction. Use Taurus' jealousy to jumpstart their feelings for you.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
One easy way to get your Gemini crush to like you is to be fun. Everybody wants to be with someone who is easy to be around, vibrant and makes things fun, so show Gemini that's you.
You might want to start off with a group date, so Gemini doesn't feel any pressure to like you and just gets to experience how awesome you are first hand. The more they talk to you and get to know you, the more they'll like you and want to be with you.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
One of the ways to get your Cancer crush to like you back is to be there for them. Offer your shoulder when they're upset, listen to their problems, and show them how compassionate you are.
Let them know that you can relate to what they're feeling and that they don't have to pretend to always be happy. You like them for who they are, even when they're not feeling especially happy. Like love, crushes can be unconditional too.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are extremely charismatic people, so if you want your crush to like you, you're going to need to dress to impress. Make an effort with your appearance but be smart about it. Don't wear a fancy dress to the office if your crush is one of your co-workers, but do try to look your best when going out to drinks after work.
People are visual creatures, and while your personality is ultimately what will seal the deal with your crush, looking amazing will get them to notice you.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos have a lot of interests and one of the ways to get your Virgo crush to like you is to join in on some of their interests. Try to go for the more neutral interests like going to the gym or music.
If you get too specific, it may look suspicious — only someone who was obsessed would do a thorough investigation on their crush. You don't want to put Virgo off, so start off with the general activities, and then as you get to know them, you can do more of their unusual hobbies and activities.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
If you want to get your Libra crush to like you, don't put them on the spot. Libras don't love confrontation and if you get up into their face, they probably will retreat away from you. Just try to be as effervescent and charming as you can be.
It may sound strange, but Libras appreciate good manners and consideration, so treat them kindly and they'll start to see you in a more romantic light.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios are an extremely sexy sign, so the best way to get their attention is to flirt with them. Don't shy away from making eye contact, touching in non-threatening ways, and laughing at their jokes. If they respond to your flirting and flirt back, sexual chemistry will start to develop between you.
Let them know you're interested and that you're confident enough to show it. If you trigger them to think of naughty thoughts, then that's okay too.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
If you want to make your Sagittarius crush like you, show them that you're not looking for something long-term and that you just want to have some fun. Sagittarius can be skittish if they think someone is trying to tie them down.
Show them that you're looking for experiences, exploration, and adventure — not settling down. Be enthusiastic, excited, and have a great sense of humor, and before you know it, Sagittarius will be thinking of you as someone they'd like to travel with.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
If you want to make your Capricorn crush like you, show them that you're a solid person. Talk to them about issues that you're passionate about and ask them thoughtful questions that make them think. Have a meaningful conversation with them and try to establish a connection between the two of you.
Is there something that both of you agree on and are willing to work towards, like activism or environmental causes? Capricorns tend to take their relationships seriously and it's not unlikely for a crush to become someone that's important to them.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
It sounds easy, but it can be challenging, especially if you want to make a good impression. If you want to make your Aquarius crush like you, be yourself. Don't act like the kind of person you think they'd like, be you, with all the weirdness and quirks that make you interesting.
Aquarius will want to get to know you and figure you out, and the more they learn about you, the more intrigued they'll become. Before they know what hit them, they will already like you for who you are, not the fake version you're tempted to be.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
If you want your Pisces crush to like you, show them how creative you are. If you have an artistic talent, use it; if you only have an appreciation for art, show your Pisces crush how much you admire their talent. No matter how much positive attention Pisces gets, they always need more support and affirmations.
If you start out as their biggest fan, you'll demonstrate that you really get them and believe in them. Pisces love romance too, so if you can be low-key about it, throw in a little romance and they will crush on you back.
