They make you smile because they're so dang cute!
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Jan 02, 2019
Everybody has something that’s cute about them. It’s that thing that makes them special, adorable, and lovable. While the word “cute” may seem silly, it’s really just a stand-in for words like charming, delightful, endearing, and sweet.
Which makes us wonder: what's the cutest thing about each zodiac sign? Every individual in astrology has their own unique qualities, so of course, they’d have traits or personality characteristics that make them cute zodiac signs!
Cute is a compliment and it’s fun. It’s not a word that is easily used to harm because although you can say cute in a snotty way, it doesn't cause too much harm. Someone might be angry that they were described as 'cute' as opposed to 'beautiful', but it’s not a word that feels like a stab in the heart. It’s fairly harmless and there’s no real sting to it.
Some things like baby animals are just naturally cute, while other things are cute through their actions—sometimes like a kitten playing with her paws are both. It’s cute when your partner remembers your coffee order exactly or when they can’t help but blush when given a compliment.
People may feel embarrassed by their cuteness but that doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate it. The thing about cute is that it helps to balance out some of the darkness in the world. Sometimes it’s enough to focus on something cute to help one forget about their troubles and the problems in the world.
So, go ahead and celebrate the cute. It may feel foolish, but it can help you have a brighter, more positive outlook.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
The cutest thing about Aries is their enthusiasm — they're up for anything. They've got the energy, the spirit, and the kind of fun personality that you want to be around. It must be their love of adventure and their positive personalities that make them excited to do or try anything new or different — or it could be that they just hate being bored so that anything that prevents that is cool by them.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
The cutest thing about Taurus is how they care so much about people. A Taurus is always there when someone needs to vent or if they just need a little pampering. A Taurus will make sure you have what you need to feel better: flowers, a home-cooked meal, a nice bottle of wine, whatever makes you feel loved, Taurus is going to provide it.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
The cutest thing about Gemini is how interested they are in everything. They love learning and they're the ones who want to hear your entire family history. If you have the time and the inclination to discuss your theories of love, life, and the great unknown, Gemini is more than happy to talk about it with you. They have an extremely curious mind and are never satisfied with what they know now. Geminis always want to know more.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
The cutest thing about Cancers is how in tune with their emotions they are. If a Cancer is feeling joyful or sad, they don't hold back. They express what they're feeling when they're feeling it. Cancers don't care if their emotions make them vulnerable, they're not going to suppress them and pretend they're emotionless. It's refreshing how honest they are about how they feel.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
The cutest thing about Leos is how dazzling they are. When a Leo walks into a room, everybody notices them, and if they don't, Leo will do something that will guarantee that they do. They have an effervescent personality that seems to make them sparkle and shine. Leos are confident which makes them attractive in a superstar kind of way.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
The cutest thing about Virgo is how trustworthy they are. You can depend your life on a Virgo and they won't let you down. They're there when you need them even if it's just to fix something. Once a Virgo has let you into their life, they will be your rock. They tend to take their job as protector very seriously and if they inadvertently let you down, they'd never forgive themselves.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
The cutest thing about Libras is how they'll stand up for you if you need an advocate. Libras won't get in a fight just for the fun of it, but if someone they care about needs someone to defend them or fight alongside them, Libra is there for them. Sometimes Libras may come across as flighty but when it's important, Libras will stand strong.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
The cutest thing about Scorpios is how romantic they are. When they're falling in love with someone, they tend to go the old-fashioned romance route, complete with flowers, candlelight, soft music, and gifts. They want the people that they love to know that they're adored and that Scorpio has given their heart to them. Underneath that strong facade, Scorpios are big softies!
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
The cutest thing about Sagittarians is how positive and upbeat they are. They're almost always in a good mood and they're a lot of fun to be around. They have the ability to turn a bad day into a good one with their attitude. They tend to have a great sense of humor and know that laughter is the best medicine. Sagittarians are great at looking at the bright side of life even when it's difficult to find.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
The cutest thing about Capricorns is how they keep their promises. You can bet if a Capricorn says they're going to do something, they'll do it. If for some reason, they fail on fulfilling a promise, they will do anything to make up for it. Capricorns are dependable and when they give their word, they follow through on it.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
The cutest thing about Aquarius is how they're completely themselves. They don't try to be anyone they're not and they don't put on airs. What you see is what you get with them, which is a relief. You know where you stand with an Aquarius. They're very creative and that creativity affects all the areas of their lives, so they're always completely engaging and interesting.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
The cutest thing about Pisces is how intuitive they are — they seem to know what you need to hear at the moment you need it. If you need someone to listen to you or to give you advice, Pisces is there. They're very selfless and understanding. Pisces have amazing instincts when it comes to the caring of other people.
