What The Word "Relationship" Means To You, By Zodiac Sign
Awareness is the first step in finding a real relationship with your soulmate.
pexels Love is something that everyone craves one way or another.
It's an innate human emotion. So, naturally, you may have been spending a lot of time over the years trying to find that perfect partner.
But you also might find yourself stopping and saying, “Self, what exactly is a relationship? What does it mean?”
It’s bad enough that love is hard to find already, right? And now on top of that, you’re not even sure what being in a relationship means for you.
Does it mean showing constant affection or having some distance? And does the word relationship mean just being together or is it something deeper?
Without knowing exactly what a relationship means to you, it can be hard to find the person meant for you. You might even find that the person you’re dating now doesn’t feel like a perfect match.
But never fear! Because guess what? Not everyone’s definition is the same, just like only groups of people have the same zodiac.
Our signs help determine what kind of person we are, and with that, what our philosophies are on different things. And because of this, it can make the world a pretty interesting place.
A whole mix of people with thoughts all their own. But it can also make things confusing. What exactly does it mean to be a Libra and in love? Or how about a Virgo?
Maybe it means you’re super cuddly. Or maybe you come off as cold, but you actually love that person a lot and just don’t know how to show it.
I certainly don’t have all the answers, but thanks to astrology, we can at least all get a bit of guidance. So from Aries to Pisces, here’s what astrology says the word relationship means to you.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
For an Aries, the word relationship means unbridled passion. You’re optimistic, active, and honest. You’ll love with all your heart and won’t be afraid to show it.
However, your impulsiveness and short temper/impatient could get you in a bit of trouble or scare someone away.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
A Taurus will define relationship as a loyalty to love. You might not be in a rush to find love, but once you do you’ll never want to let it go.
Having him or her by your side becomes the most important thing to you. Just make sure you don’t become too overbearing.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis are social butterflies, so you want to be everyone’s best friend. But you also have a serious side, which can lead to some insecurity.
So for you, the word relationship means handing out a shovel. You want someone who can have fun, but will also dig deeper to comfort you in your nervousness and keep you company.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
For Cancers, the word relationship means finding your comfort blanket. You’re sensitive and emotional, and can even be a bit suspicious.
You want someone who’ll wrap you up and love you. Of course, this doesn’t mean you’re fragile. It just means you want to be cared for.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are, by nature, slightly narcissistic, so the word relationship for you means fun, complimenting and admiration. You have plenty of confidence and the smarts to back it up, but you still appreciate reassurance from others that tells you you’re on top.
Having someone by your side who wants to have fun but will also shower you with praise is exactly what you dream of.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
The word relationship for a Virgo means the little things matter the most. Being told you look cute in that new outfit or he/she keeps the place clean. And although you may be something of a workaholic, the small things he/she does to help you de-stress a little go a long way.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
For Libras, the word relationship means quality time and kindness. You want life to be fair and peaceful while spending all the time you can with people, especially your significant other.
You can be content with just that, but sometimes you can hold a grudge or be too hard on yourself. Try to embrace your inner peace when that happens.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios are the type that are fiercely loyal, but also want an open policy when it comes to what the word relationship means. You want the truth always, but are sometimes secretive yourself.
Remember that being open goes both ways. But beyond that, you want something long-lasting where you can make plenty of memories.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
A relationship for a Sagittarius is like an energetic puppy. You want it to be full of life and fun and curiosity. However, your idealism and larger-than-life promises could get you in trouble with a future partner, so don’t be the puppy that constantly chews up the shoes.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Ah Capricorn, you are a tricky one. Super responsible and practical, but also stubborn, condescending and unforgiving. So, the meaning of the word relationship to you is patience and understanding.
You need someone with those qualities, because although you may sound cruel at times, you don’t want to lose your partner. Someone with patience and understanding will help keep your future relationship steady instead of rocky.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
For an Aquarius, the word relationship means activist-driven love. You want to have fun, but you also want to keep pushing the narrative in the form of protests and wanting progress.
Maintaining a relationship and fighting for what you are passionate about could be difficult, but if you find that special someone the same as you, it could be happily ever after.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
For Pisces, the word relationship means soft love. You’re compassionate and want to help others.
And, you want your love to be soft to the touch, like pushing your finger into a ball of dough, or maybe even gooey. Just make sure to communicate your fears to him/her, because it’s easier to deal with things when someone is supporting you.
