There’s nothing more exciting than reading in your horoscope that you will fall in love — except, of course, actually starting a new relationship.
When a relationship first begins, it’s easy to become lost in all the questions. How do I really feel about this person?
Am I ready to make this kind of commitment right now? Is there anything else I’m missing out on? Are our zodiac signs compatible?
Eventually once the relationship starts to progress from dating to more. The relationship changes from being super casual and laid-back to something more serious.

Meanwhile, there are those who get freaked out by the idea of committing to something long-term and start to wonder if this is something they really want.
It’s good to know ahead of time before or while dating what your partner is looking for, and looking to astrology might just give you a better idea of what to expect.
Here’s how each zodiac deals with being in a new SERIOUS relationship.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Serious relationship? No problem! For you, long-term commitments are definitely up your alley.
Because you’re so passionate and romantic, you sometimes have the tendency to jump the gun too early.
You become so eager to start something serious that you become impulsive and don’t think before you act.
Take a few steps back. If you push too hard, there’s a chance you might scare your love interest away.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
As a Taurus, you’re easily connected to the sense of touch. You enjoy delving into all the physical experiences of a relationship, which sometimes makes it hard for you to consider the other person’s point of view.
Because you’re so perceptible by affection, your partner may feel like you’re being possessive at times.
Don’t be selfish. Make sure you’re taking the time to understand your partner’s needs instead of trying to get them into bed.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Serious relationships are typically a turn-off for you. You become easily bored with people, which makes it hard for you to commit to just one person. People consider you the life of the party, which is why you’re able to move on so quickly.
Your ideal partner is someone who’s both fun/creative like you, but is also secure and consistent.
This combination is often difficult to find, so that’s why you prefer a one-night stand over a long-term commitment.

You’re a deep thinker, and sometimes get lost in your own thoughts. This makes others view you as emotionally detached and shy.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
You’re a soulful and mystical individual. You easily connect to music and art, and people close to view you as wise and compassionate. Your imagination sometimes leaves you half present and half in dreamworld.
Sometimes this makes the people close to you feel like you’re not listening to them or that you’re unreliable. If your partner is as much of a deep-thinker as you are, then a serious relationship wouldn't be so scary to you.
Bottom line is it’s important for you to make your partner feel like you’re connecting with them.
