Each zodiac sign has its own way of connecting, communicating and committing and when these are understood, they can lead to a super balanced relationship. The trick is knowing what makes each sign tick to build a happy, harmonious partnership.
Read on to see what it’s like to be in a healthy relationship with each zodiac sign and how they bring out the best in their partners!
1. Aries
An Aries is someone who knows exactly what they want.
Their healthy, happy place is where the person they are with supports them and cheers them on, but also leaves space for their independence.
The absolute number one thing an Aries demands is honesty.
The second most important thing for them is being able to grow, both in a relationship and individually.
Someone who gives them compliments will make them feel satisfied and give them faith in the relationship, but their partner being too tacky will drive them away.
Ruled by Mars, an Aries enjoys a good fight.
In order to feel like their relationship is the right one, they need a person who isn’t afraid of confrontation.
Someone who is strong and able to stand up to them is their ideal partner.
They need a confident person by their side.
What they hope for most in their partner is someone who will criticize them but also be their number one fan.
2. Taurus
Trust accounts for most of a Taurus’s healthy relationship. Then, IF trust is established, there are some other things to work on.
A Taurus craves a relationship in which they have a healthy line of communication with their partner.
Everything needs to be talked through.
They want to know exactly how their partner feels about, well, anything and everything.
They also need passion and random displays of affection.
To feel like they are in a happy relationship, they need to know their partner thinks about them often and wants to be close to them, both mentally and physically.
They can be possessive and need someone who doesn’t mind showing the world that they are in a committed relationship.
3. Gemini
A Gemini needs someone who will accept them for who they are.
They need to feel comfortable enough to never feel forced to hide their true selves in a relationship.
Even though they seem like they always need to be surrounded by huge groups of people, they actually enjoy their privacy.
This is something they need their soulmate to understand so that they are given time alone.
The most important thing a Gemini needs to form a healthy relationship is someone who’s gonna bear with them through all the confusion of their ambiguous feelings.
Once the tricky part of a Gemini figuring out what they want has passed, they become passionate, protective, sensitive lovers.
4. Cancer
Nurturing. Loving. Affectionate. Romantic.
That’s what kind of a relationship a Cancer needs.
They are extremely emotional and it is good for them to have someone more stable to keep them grounded.
They can be very sensitive and their partner needs to find a way to help them feel more confident.
They want to trust their partner so much that they can share every little bit about themselves.
Having someone to talk to about their fears, dreams, and hopes creates a healthy base for them to grow stronger and usually happier.
They will get attached fast, so they need someone to fall for them completely.
Their love is all-consuming and their partner needs to be a person of strong emotions as well.
5. Leo
Leo is maybe the only sign where their partner needs to share most of their interests with them to have a healthy relationship.
Spending a lot of time with their partner has to have some adventure or pleasure attached to it.
If they feel like they are losing time doing stuff they don’t like, they can’t be happy.
Even though they need their own time for individual activities, shared interests will provide a solid base for developing a strong relationship.
They need their partner to be a bit of a challenge and to have an air of adventure about them.
Boring is not an option with Leo. Spicy and interesting is the way to go with them.
6. Virgo
Virgos need a partner that discusses plans and ideas.
For them, a healthy relationship means being able to open up to the person they love.
They usually hide their soft side, so showing it to their loved one requires complete trust.
A Virgo won’t enjoy playing games, even though they like flirting.
Their partner needs to be on their intellectual level otherwise they won’t feel comfortable.
To let go of their inhibitions completely, they need someone who will prove themselves to be the most trusting person ever – someone persistent who won’t give up on them no matter what.
7. Libra
A Libra needs their partner to be real. They can’t form a healthy relationship with someone they can’t talk to about deeper, important things in life.
Sharing their attitudes about the world with their partner is super important to them.
They can be very emotional but also quite good at hiding their emotions.
It is beneficial for a Libra to be with someone who will show them how to open up, and also how to loosen up a bit.
Their biggest issue in enjoying life is the pragmatic side of them that stops them from living life to the fullest.
Appreciating them, never lying to them, and giving them substance is almost certain to make for a healthy environment they can grow in.
8. Scorpio
Every description of a healthy relationship for a Scorpio is pretty vague. They are mysterious and secretive and it can be hard to ever truly know them.
If they give you the chance to get to know them better, you should know that they want to form a deeper connection with you.
A Scorpio in love is a force to be reckoned with: they know what they want and how to get it.
A healthy relationship for a Scorpio means an intimate, physical, emotional experience in which both partners are true to themselves and each other.
Never try to trick them or lie to them as it will most certainly ruin everything you might have built together.
9. Sagittarius
What a Sagittarius appreciates most is their freedom.
This is why it’s very hard for them to commit to anyone. Building a healthy relationship is impossible if your Sag is already trying to escape.
Relationships in which there’s a lot of space and time for their individual activities is a must.
Someone who’s open-minded and can both follow and challenge them is a person who can create an environment for a healthy relationship.
They need fun, adventure, and excitement to be a part of their life to feel like themselves.
10. Capricorn
A Capricorn craves a person who will take charge and make the first move. They can be very reluctant to share their emotions.
The biggest factor in a Capricorn starting to feel like they have something real and healthy is letting them know that the relationship has a future.
They need to know that their efforts count for something.
They aren’t ones to put their hearts and souls into something that has no future.
To maintain a healthy relationship with a Capricorn you have to be strong, reliable, and loyal.
11. Aquarius
There are a couple of things an Aquarius needs for a healthy relationship. They need someone to respect their individuality and their free time.
Also, their partner has to be someone who cares for the way they think and respects the opinions they have.
They are very altruistic and in order to feel happy with their partner, that person has to support them in helping others.
Settling down is hard for them, but finding the right person means eternal love and devotion when it comes to them.
What they can personally most benefit from is a partner who reminds them to take some time for themselves or even someone who will take care of them, for a change.
12. Pisces
Romance! Pisces craves romance more than anything. Intimate, emotional relationships are their thing.
Their healthy relationship means having a very deep connection that can’t easily be broken.
They love taking care of their partners and want to feel taken care of too.
They can be a bit possessive so you will have to show them that you only have eyes for them and nobody else for them to feel safe.
It can be very beneficial for them to find someone who grounds them since their head is pretty much in the clouds.
If their lover respects them and treats them nicely they will feel comfortable and root themselves as close to their partner as possible.
