Wordless Ways Each Zodiac Sign Says, 'I Love You", Per Astrology
Actions speak louder than words, right?
pexels I love you. It is so easy to say. It just flows off the tongue. We all wait for the day when we get to tell someone those three special words and really mean it.
And it's magical when we hear them back, but sometimes when you use the word 'love' too much it loses its weight.
Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
Think of the book, The 5 Love Languages. The book gained popularity due to the fact that we don’t always fell loved just because someone says it. Some people need acts of service, other individuals long for quality time.
You can fill a person's love cup by providing them quality conversation, and there are people in the world who don't feel loved until they get a long, affectionate hug.
You want your loved one to stroke your hair. You want them to think of you when you're not around. It's special when the person you love the most brings home dinner, changes the oil on the car when it needs to be changed. Acts of service shows love.
Love can’t be premeditated. Doing something for another person has to flow from your heart without any effort or thinking about what is in it for you. That’s how you know it's love.
The naturalness of it all is the stuff we do when loving someone and it just becomes a part of who we are.
Loving someone is so natural that it's not even a thought. For example, when I go pick up a cookie for myself, I don’t need to be reminded to get one for my boyfriend, because I love him and I know that he will think it's sweet to bring one for him, too.
In return, he shows me consideration in his own way. Case in point, I don’t like mushrooms. Sometimes, when we go out to eat, my boyfriend will order a sandwich that has mushrooms on it.
He will request that they be served on the side, just in case I want a bite. That is the most romantic thing I have ever heard of in my life. That’s what we all want; romance in the form of action that is rooted in love.
We have to learn to recognize the ways that people love us without using the words I love you.
Here are the ways that each zodiac sign says, "I love you" (without really saying it), per astrology.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries will make room for you in their lives. They will start to put a charger by your side of the bed. They will make sure you have a place to put your toothbrush. They will know which of their shirts you prefer to sleep in.
They will make sure they are always stocked up on your favorite foods. An Aries in love will let you win. In a competition, they will root for you before they do themselves.
For the first time, you being happy will be more important to an Aries, than competing for the win.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Tauruses are uncompromising. They always want to get their way. A Taurus person will want to do things your way.
Touch is important to a Taurus, so there will be a lot of foot rubs and back rubs. They will let you lay on their lap while they stroke your hair. There may also be a lot of gift-giving involved when you find that you have won the Bull's heart.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Gemini will show you they love you by burning you a mix tape with their favorite hits from 2003. They are into books and music, so they will likely put a lot of thought into who you are and what your taste is and try to find a book or an album that you would really enjoy.
They are also indecisive, so by choosing you and being confident that you are theirs, it is an act of love in itself. Geminis are thoughtful. When they give you gifts, it won't be flowers and chocolates, it will be deeply personal, with a lot of thought put into it. Something they found and then tailored just for you.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittariuses are optimistic and enthusiastic. They will always see the good you. They show their love by complimenting their partners. Sometimes their compliments are basic but usually when they do, it's exactly what you needed to hear.
