I’ve always been fascinated by the notion of star signs, and I’m not the only one if Tyrese’s ‘Signs of Love Makin’ is anything to go by. Now let me be clear, I don’t really go for the whole Mystic Meg, rubbing her crystal ball and telling me what misfortune awaits me. (Although if you do like to get a daily dose of what the stars have in store, then continue to do you). The thing I enjoy about the Zodiac is reading my personality profile. And yes, I am also that girl who’ll google a crushes sign to see if we’re compatible (usually not, not that I’ve ever let that stop me). So for anyone who’s interested prepare for a run down on the Sun signs in LOVE.

Aries

21 March – 20 April

The first sign of the Zodiac is ruled by the planet Mars, incidentally Aries is also the name of the ancient Greek God of war and Mars was the Roman God of war (I bet you didn’t know you’d be getting a history lesson along with your zodiac) which is fitting as if you’ve ever met an Aries you’ll know they love to argue. These fire signs are passionate, energetic and competitive so if you catch the eye of an Aries you will KNOW about it,. They’re also adventurous and impulsive and their bravery is inspiring.

How to attract an Aries?

Aries are independent and enjoy a challenge. They also want a partner whom they can respect so if you can hold your own and not let them railroad you while also letting them win sometimes (their competitive nature needs it) you’ll peak their interest.

If you’re an Aries looking for love and you want the stars to be your guide then your most compatible signs are Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius or Aquarius.

Taurus

20 April – 21 May

Taurus is ruled by Venus the planet (and Goddess) of love and beauty. This earth sign is super romantic and their love language is receiving gifts (luckily, they’re just as good at giving) they’re also committed to the pursuit of physical pleasure. Like their symbol (the bull) Taurus people are steadfast and can be immovable in their opinions. Taureans are built for partnerships, steady and reliable they’re in it for the long haul. You’ll know a Taurus likes you when they shower you with gifts, affection, time and attention.

However their charming, flirtatious and indecisive natures may make it seem as though they’ll be hard to pin down (and they can be), but to paraphrase Usher, Li’l John and Ludacris if they find a “Lover and Friend” who matches their intellect and energy, they’ll stay loyal.
