Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Fiery Aries men love a passionate relationship.
When looking for love, he goes all in and doesn’t hold back. He’s assertive, impulsive, and upfront with his feelings.
Falling love with an Aries man is like riding a rollercoaster filled with thrills and adventure. He often doesn’t know how to pace himself, so if you’re dating an Aries man, be prepared to move quickly.
Ruled by Mars, he’s relentless in the pursuit of his romantic desires. Sometimes this means he falls head over heels with everyone he dates, but true love comes to Aries when he finds someone who’s willing to ride through waves of intensity with him.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Cautious in love, Taurus will play his card close to his chest until he thinks you’re the one.
He's practical and steady, so he will likely scrutinize any romantic suitors carefully before he commits himself. But since he's so trustworthy, Taurus is worth the wait.
Ruled by Venus, Taurus is an affectionate, sensual lover whose sincerity is unmatchable. Taurus men love touch, so if you notice him making subtle, physical advances, it’s possible he’s already falling for you.
Just don’t try any mind games with him; Taurus value consistency and security, so he won’t play along.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Ruled by bubbly Mercury, Gemini is the chatterbox of the zodiac. You won’t even have to wonder if or how he’s falling in love; he’ll probably just tell you himself!
He won’t try to woo you with cheesy declarations; instead, Gemini likes to show off his intelligence and his ability to be to the point.
That said, dating a Gemini is a fast-paced game, so even if he loved you on the first date, you can never let the ball drop. He gets bored easily and needs to be mentally stimulated; otherwise, he’ll fall out of love just as quickly as he fell in.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
The Cancer man moves slowly in love because he's afraid of getting hurt.
He’s deeply sensitive, so he takes his time opening up and being vulnerable. He needs a lot of reassurance through positive actions so he knows his love is not misplaced.
For him, love is sacred and he only falls in love with the intention of making it last a lifetime. This all sounds great, but sometimes this fear and defensiveness can cause him to put up walls.
He can be moody, occasionally sending mixed signals, but due to his strong intuition, he will perceive your needs well and will always try his best to open up.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Patience is not a virtue that Leo men possess.
He loves a playful, fiery love, which sometimes leads him to fall for the wrong people, getting too caught up in the chase.
Ruled by the Sun, Leo loves to be the center of attention and falls in love with anyone who can shower him with compliments and tend to his needs. Don’t mistake this for thinking Leo is a fickle lover; though when he does fall in love, he’s fiercely loyal and will stick by you through the ups and downs.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
When it comes to love, Virgo men are often misunderstood.
He's careful and analytic, which can easily be mistaken as cold or standoffish. In reality, this perfectionist is just taking his time to mold the ideal bond and find a love that runs deep.
A man of few words, Virgo will let his action do the talking if he wants to show you his love. He's not the kind of guy you can push into loving you.
Methodic by nature, Virgo needs to go through all the steps carefully to find a love that will last.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
As a hopeless romantic, Libra finds it easy to fall in love.
He loves to flirt and be charming but, ultimately, he’ll want you to woo him back. Ruled by the planet of love, Venus, Libra loves to be in love and won’t last long living the bachelor’s life.
He seeks out harmonious relationships where compromise and diplomacy are valued. You can find your way into a Libra man’s heart by putting in just as much love as you receive.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Gifted with a magnetic personality, Scorpio men have an unequivocal way of pulling you in.
Though he loves passion and intimacy, he won’t open up very easily. He can be secretive and suspicious, but only because he fears having trust broken. This means that though his relationship is full of intensity, they sometimes lack vulnerability.
Once you open up to him, Scorpio will feel safe to fall in love. When in love, Scorpio will have your back through it all with his unmatchable loyalty.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
With a sense of independence and adventure unlike anyone else, Sagittarius is a hard man to tie down.
He loves generously which, though he’s committed in relationships, can sometimes mean spreading his love around to many when he’s not tied down. He could wait a lifetime to find the one worth settling down for.
If you want to have a lasting love with a Sagittarius, you have to be prepared to hop on for the ride, allowing your relationship to take its course naturally without force. Luckily for you, he will be transparent and doesn’t have time for games, so you always know exactly what you’re getting into with a Sagittarius.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
The Capricorn man has high standards.
Reserved by nature, he won’t be the guy gushing over you or sending you love letters. In typical earth-sign fashion, most of Capricorn’s affections will be communicated in actions rather than words.
He's incredibly hard-working, so once he’s taken the time to confirm that the relationship is more than just infatuation, he’ll try his best to make things work no matter what. He wants a bond that will last, and needs someone who won’t run away from serious plans about the future.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Allusive Aquarius can be hard to read in relationships.
Like Sagittarius, he doesn't need love to complete him. In fact, most of his concerns are about the greater good of humanity rather than his own personal relationships.
His romantic conquests often start as friendships first, since he can be hard to tie down. In love, he's wooed by intelligence and needs someone who can match his deep-thinking and creativity.
Ultimately, love thrives best with an Aquarius when he's confident that both of you can be just as happy apart as you are together; he will never sacrifice independence for love.
Pisces (February 19 - March 10)
Pisces men are generous to the point of self-sacrifice.
He may be shy to reveal his feelings, but he will go above and beyond to treasure and care for yours.
Ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams, Pisces has probably pictured himself in many romantic scenes and can get caught up in the idea of love. Sometimes this gets him hurt, causing him to retreat.
Pisces needs lots of affirmation and soul-nourishing attention in order to open up and love wholly.
