How You Text Your Crush To Get His Attention, According To Your Zodiac Sign & Astrology

As a reader of cards and charts, one of the most frequently asked questions I get is: "What do they think of me?" This is, of course, in reference to someone who has a crush on someone else and has no idea how that other person feels about them.

My first response is, "Ask them, because they know better than I do." Alas, human beings always want the roundabout way, never the direct approach.

Communication would be easy if people had the nerve to ask the person they are interested in, especially certain zodiac signs whose personalities aren't quite extroverted or prone to taking risks.

It's not an easy thing after all. Fear of rejection makes many people back up before going to the horse's mouth with their inquiry. "What if they don't like me?" To avoid hearing this, people will ask psychics, as if hearing the results from another person eases the anxiety of actually knowing what that person thinks of them.

If our first method of communication was through texting, we'd have to be creative, wouldn't we? We wouldn't want to come across as too pushy... or would we? We might want to make an attempt to spell words correctly, if such a thing still exists. We might even want to show a bit of our own personality in that text.

Texting your crush for the first time or for the thousandth time shows both individualism and restraint... or does it? What does your zodiac sign say texting their crush?

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aries are strong, aggressive, and controlling. And it's the same for the texts they send.

"I'm making dinner tonight. It's lasagna. Who doesn't love lasagna? You eat meat, right? Tell me soon. We can watch movies after. Get back to me ASAP on this. Bring wine or beer and plan on staying over. Later."

Taurus (April 20 - May 20) 

Taurus is insistent and assumes you're into whatever he's into. This fun-loving but pushy sign can't express himself any other way.

"Dude, trust me, I know musical genres. If I say we're going to the festival, we're going and you'll love it. Trust me. I know music and I know partying. Bring money, as in cash."

Gemini (May 21 - June 20) 

Troubled and afraid of committment, Gemini wants to fit in, but has a hard time doing so.

"Can we talk tonight? I want to tell you all about my exes and my mother. They're all garbage. Most people are, am I right?"

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) 

Cancer is really into his own thing... and not yours. He always has great ideas, though doesn't really think the same of yours.

"Come over to my place, but if you can, pick me up from my yoga class. I'm on a wheat grass purge so no food tonight, but I'm available for sex during 8 PM and 10 PM."

Leo is totally down for anything. And it's this enthusiastic and curious personality that comes through in their texts.

"When, where, how much? I'm down."

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Judgmental, idealistic, and ever-disappointed, Virgo is constantly on a search for love. Especially on the off-chance their crush is "the one."

"Your choices have always been trash when it comes to your love life. You deserve better. Come over later, I'll show you what better is all about. Feel free to bring over dinner, just nothing with gluten or calories."
