How The Zodiac Signs Make Their Relationships More Meaningful
They want to connect on so many levels.
getty Meaningful relationships aren't just romantic; you can have a meaningful friendship or make the relationships you have with your family members more significant. Think about how easy it is to lose touch with people. When you come back together again, it can seem awkward and uncomfortable.
But with astrology as a guide, there are ways to make sure our relationships retain their relevance. And each zodiac sign has their own methods of doing this.
Each zodiac sign has its own ways to ensure their relationships have meaning. Having a positive attitude, volunteering to help, and being sensitive to the needs of others can help strengthen a bond between two people.
Be present with others and really hear what they have to say; that makes people feel safe enough to want to share with you. In addition, being honest about what you’re going through and not sugar-coating things will encourage people to trust you.
So, here’s how the zodiac signs make their relationships more meaningful.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
To make sure their relationships have meaning, Aries will make an effort to show how caring and committed they are. They will do all kinds of thoughtful things such as coming up with things they can do together — traveling, camping, or running a marathon.
Aries will agree to projects or things they may not be passionate about just because their partner wants to do it, and Aries wants to make sure they're happy.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus knows that in order to have the kind of relationship they want, they need to give the things they want the most. So, they will make sure they and their partner give each other their undivided attention and spend quality time together.
Even if it's just spending a night in, Taurus will make sure their partner feels cared for, comfortable, and relaxed.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis make sure their relationship is meaningful by loving themselves first. As RuPaul says, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?" They want to be the best version of themselves for their partner.
Gemini isn't going to not give it their best, and that's what they expect from their partner — someone who inspires them to be better.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Every relationship Cancer has should be meaningful, so they will do what they can to ensure it. One thing they do is figure out their partner's love language. If it's gifts, Cancer will get them the most thoughtful and perfect gifts; if it's acts of service, they will do things for them.
Whatever the love language is, Cancer will do it.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are busy and usually overscheduled, so when they make an effort to spend real time — not just FaceTime — you know they really care. Time is what Leo gives to make sure their relationship is meaningful.
Knowing their love of gifts, there will probably be some gift-giving involved as well. However, no matter how much Leo may spend on the perfect present, it's their time that's priceless.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos have a lot to give — love, affection, and knowledge — and they never want to feel as if they don't have anymore to give. To make sure their relationships have meaning, Virgo will work to bring more meaning, in general, to their own life.
When this zodiac sign is learning and are excited about something, their life has meaning. And sharing it with a partner just makes it even better. Virgo is happier when they're finding meaning in their own life.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
To give their relationships more meaning, Libra will help create things like rituals, shared jokes, and common interests. The more things they enjoy doing together, the more bonded they become, and the more connected they feel with one another.
It can be something as simple as preparing a holiday dinner together or having a date night every week.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios will take an inventory of their relationship and see what's lacking, what needs building up, and what can be eliminated. If it's a friendship, they will think about whether the relationship is beneficial for both or if it's become one-sided.
If the relationship isn't worth saving, Scorpio will let it go, opening up space for a new and better friendship.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarians can be very energetic and animated. When they want to have a better connection with someone, this individual will slow down, work on being a better listener, and be more compassionate.
They know it's important to understand where someone is coming from and to see things from their point of view without judging them. The greater the amount of understanding, the more meaningful the relationship.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorns understand that meaningful relationships take time, so they don't rush things. They take it slow and build up trust, intimacy, and connection. They don't force people to change, nor do they place unreasonable expectations on them.
Whether it's their first relationship or their last, Capricorns are wise and they play the long game. That's not to say this zodiac sign doesn't have a few surprises to keep the relationship lively!
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
To make their lives meaningful, Aquarians give back and do their best to make the world a better place. They do volunteer work, and donate money and time to charitable organizations. They use that same kind of thinking in their relationships.
If they can help a friend out by making an introduction with a business acquaintance, or purchase a vintage piece of art, Aquarius will do it.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces have meaningful relationships because they treat a stranger the same way they would a loved one, by being caring and empathetic. They are extremely present for other people.
Pisces are there to do what they can to help and make someone feel better. If it's someone they care about, there's nothing they wouldn't do for them, even if it goes against their own best interests.
