Love is in the air.
By Ruby Miranda — Written on Jan 22, 2020
Ah, romance. Can't live with it, can't live without it. And it's automatically assumed that romance means love and connection, isn't it? Well, it is, but romance certainly isn't limited to love only.
Is there an art to how to be romantic? In a way, yes. We can be romantic about our career, our passion; we can be romantic about the future, about humanity; we can write in a romantic style, dress like a true romantic, eat romantic foods; in fact, depending on the kind of person we are, just about everything there is can be seen through the eyes of a romantic.
But depending on our zodiac sign and our personalities in astrology, it can really affect the level of romance we're willing to put into a relationship.
When we choose to be romantic with another, it's much more an individual choice than it is any kind of stereotype. Romancing a person is not restricted to flowers and candy, and we should be very happy for that! And, some people don't even need another person involved to be romantic; folks who love to spend time creating beautiful homes with sumptuous interiors might be considered romantics.
But how each zodiac sign gets romantic is truly an individual choice. Not everyone work according to a book of standards, and astrology shows us just how individual we are when it comes to getting romantic.
For the romantic zodiac signs, they each have a way of showing their partner how much they are appreciated.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
When you want to show that you have romantic intentions towards another, you impress with cooking, with art, with creative endeavors that let your person of choice know that you want to please them aesthetically.
It thrills you to prepare a great meal for your person, and thrills you even more when they delight in what you prepare.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
When you're in the mood for romance, you don't spare the glitz and glam when going on a date. You will spend hours getting ready, and every minute of it will be worth it in the long run, because you dress to impress and your intentions are always good.
You let your person know you are romantically interested by showing them how much it matters to you to present beautifully.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
You're a silent romantic and often times that will manifest as some rare gift that you've found for your sweetheart. And always you present it to them as a surprise.
Surprises are your way of being romantic and spontaneous, and your natural kindness and shy way of being always ensures that your paramour is enamored with you.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
When it comes to romance, you are ready, willing and able to present yourself as the most supportive, the most loving and the absolute most attentive mate that person could ever desire.
You're a people pleaser, and when you hone in on one person in particular, you let them know that they are safe with you — and very much desired.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Romance brings out the heavy spending for you, and the sky is the limit when you're the one buying the gifts. Wow, do you ever love to load on the prezzies, and what's great is that you do it to please, not to impress.
You love watching your person smile and giggle with joy, and you have absolutely no problem promising them more and more and more.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
You may be a demanding romantic partner but you give twice as much as you receive, and you don't mind. It's in your nature to dream big and follow your passion, and when it comes to others, if you find yourself in love with someone, you go for it wholeheartedly.
You let your person know they are adored, and you keep on giving of your heart and soul throughout the entire romance.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
You tend to find romance in the smallest of things. And when you find a partner to share your very individual and very particular types of interest, wow — you basically claim that person as your very own.
You are possessive, but no one complains because when you start to give of yourself, everyone's heart overflows with joy.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
You latch on to the person you fall in love with, and you tend to obsess. While this may come across as clingy or needy, you have a way about you, Scorpio, that lets your love interest know that you mean business.
You're a romantic that likes to plan for the future, and you love to involve your person in grand dreams of travel and adventure.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
You are nothing but romance, Sagittarius, and that means you live in a state of romantic dreaming. You are very picky about who you bring into your life, and even pickier about who you fall in love with.
But once you find that person, you can guarantee that person will be just like you: a hopeless romantic who lives in a dream state, 24/7.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
You love a good inside joke, and that doesn't always mean a funny one. When you're feeling romantic, you'll go very far out of your way to find your love interest that perfect gift — the one they happened to have mentioned but never thought they'd ever get.
Well, it's you, Capricorn, who delivers the goods.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Even though you are truly romantic, you're also a bit shy, so public displays of affection are out for you. But in private, you're a serious schmoozer; put a drink in your hand and all inhibitions run wild.
You like to dazzle with words and promises, and it's never about actually coming through with those promises; it's about the moment and how utterly romantic it can be when two people dream together.
Pisces (February 19 - March 10)
When romance hits you, Pisces, you fall head over heels in love with no looking back. Your passion is competitive; you will win, and if the prize is your love interest, then you won't stop until you've exhausted every resource possible.
You want this ,and your person will recognize that desire in you. And they will fall hard for it... and for you.
