Hello darling, I’m so glad to have you back with me today. I get lonely sometimes and writing these articles for my readers is exactly what I need to feel connected again. So, thank you for that, my dear. Have you heard of the five love languages? They’re invaluable for finding what you need from your partner and what they need from you.
This is essential to creating a long-lasting relationship. If the emotional and love needs of either of you aren’t met then the relationship will pull apart at the seams.
The love languages are quality time, acts of service, gift-giving, physical touch, and words of affirmation. We all have a combination of signs in our charts and most of us have a combination of love languages. This is why you should follow your gut on this, but use this list as a guide if needed.
We tend to give love to others in the way that we would like to receive it, so looking at how we express our love to others is a good indication of what our own love language is. Let’s take a look at the five love languages by Zodiac sign, and find out more about how you feel love.
Aries: Words Of Affirmation
Aries women need words of affirmation more than the other love languages because they need to know that you are receiving their actions well. They are spontaneous, and as a result, they can go overboard sometimes. Knowing they haven’t offended you, and maybe even endeared themselves to you by being themselves makes them feel loved.
It helps the Aries woman be more authentic herself when there are those around her who will remind her that she isn’t ‘too much when she is reacting and acting from a place of impulse.
Aries are direct people, and so they tend to take things that others say at face value, further emphasizing the weight of your loving words.
Offering help to the Aries or giving them unwanted advice can result in the Ram throwing a temper tantrum and desiring to prove themselves even more. Words of affirmation should be used to tell an Aries what they have done right, not to scold them.
Words of affirmation tell the Aries that you’re proud of them, and that you’re not put off by their actions. These are things that all Aries need to hear.
Taurus: Physical Touch
Taureans love to touch and to feel closeness. While Taureans are famous for their sexuality, the type of touch they’re after isn’t always sexual. Taureans do desire sexual touch, but they also need the non-sexual sweet and kind touches, cuddling, hugging, playful touches, and holding hands.
Taurus loves the touch-related feeling of love. They are ruled by Venus, the planet of sensuality. While Mars rules the act of sex, Venus rules the pleasure of sex and touch in general.
Taurus’ know a few things in their bones. When you’re disconnected from the Earth, go outside and get your feet in the grass. When you’re disconnected from your body, ground down into it by touching, tasting, and feeling what is around you. When you’re out of touch with another person, well, go touch them!
Gemini: Quality Time
Deep listening and thoughtful conversations land under the quality time love language, according to the creator of the love languages.
The best way to draw out the Gemini’s true nature and to make them feel loved is to stay present with them in conversation and in the space that you both occupy. A changeable air sign, Geminis prefer to go with the flow even in conversation.
If you say something that reminds the Gemini of another topic, they might go off on a mini tangent, but that doesn’t mean they are attempting to interrupt. They just don’t want to lose the thought they had.
Gemini can talk to anyone, but it doesn’t mean they’re receiving present attention and grounded focus while it’s happening. The Gemini needs to know that their conversations are being met with the attention of the other person at the moment, making their love language quality time.
Cancer: Acts Of Service
Cancer’s natural and automatic nature is to feed and care for the ones that they are close with, and they have nurturing energy and this deep emotional nature, but the other side of this means that they are not always that sensible.
The Cancer in your life likely needs help arranging, cleaning, and taking care of the physical space around them.
Cancer holds Yin energy, meaning that Cancer is more passive and introspective. Being the Yang energy that the Cancer needs to initiate change by assisting them with real-world issues and taking action is the best way to show your love to a Cancer.
Cancer is ruled by the feminine and watery Moon, meaning that they operate within a world of the nebulous. What Cancers need is someone who is more naturally action-oriented in order to create the world that Cancers can see in their visions in their real space.
Leo: Words Of Affirmation
Leos already know their own greatness. This is what can come off to other people who do not know them well as being self-involved or super rude.
What Leos really appreciate are words of affirmation, because they know if the people around them can appreciate their greatness, then that means they are paying attention, which means they can see the greatness in you in return.
Leos are naturally self-confident; however, they also heavily lean on those around them to let them know they’re on the right path. They have the gift-giving potential to be amazing rulers and leaders, but they can’t stand alone and need loved ones to tell them they are doing a good job.
Leos are naturally more receptive to words of affirmation because they don’t always give themselves enough credit. They can be plagued by self-doubt when they’re at their lowest, which is why loved ones knowing just the right words to get them on their feet once more is so crucial.
Virgo: Words Of Affirmation
Being the ‘sign of service,’ it makes sense that Virgos feel love the most through acts of service, for themselves, others, or the world at large. They feel a deep connection to the Earth, so these causes often involve the environment around them.
If you live with a Virgo or know one, you know that having ultimate control of the environment around them is a top priority for them. Sometimes they can get so caught up in this that they feel like they are the only one around them who cares about keeping things in order, and nothing will stress a Virgo out like being the only one following their plan!
For this reason, it is important to remind them that you can see and know this about them and not only accept them for this, but also walk the walk by keeping your own areas of interest neat and tidy.
Maybe while the Virgo is concerned with other projects you could clean the house for them, or something similar. Being on board with their need to keep an organized space is definitely going to go a long way with the Virgo.
Libra: Receiving Gifts
Libras are big fans of anything artistic and aesthetically pleasing, so it makes sense that gift giving is important to Libra to feel the love. Libras need an environment that echoes their love for beauty. With gift-giving comes the energetic and emotional attachment to things through the gift-giver, and this is the feeling Libra can’t get enough of.
Libras rarely find people who ‘get’ their taste, so when someone else shows that they understand what the Libra is after in a gift, they are understandably excited.
Because they enjoy balance and are slightly competitive, they may feel in return that they have to give you something of equal or better importance – but if that isn’t your intention, then you can let them know you are giving them a gift without an expectation of anything from them in return.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be something lavish and over the top – sometimes a good book or a romantic bouquet of flowers is something tangible to let them know you thought of them.
Scorpio: Physical Touch
Feeling intensely close to another is priority number one for Scorpios who love to be inundated by affection. They may put on a tough front, but Scorpios are actually super cuddly.
This sign is sure to get cuddly once you get to know them at least. Hugs, hand-holding, and intimate touch (yes, that kind of intimate touch) are the best ways to let the Scorpio know that you’re totally infatuated by them.
Scorpios need to know that they’re a priority and that their lover is ‘theirs.’ They have a possessive streak, and sometimes having a physical hand on your lover is enough to remind the Scorpio that they do indeed ‘belong’ to them.
Sagittarius: Quality Time
This Jupiter-ruled sign is always out collecting new knowledge and exploring. Adventuring as a practice was definitely invented by a Sagittarius. An idea for a good hangout for a Sagittarius involves allowing them to put that well of energy to good use by hanging out with others and having activities planned.
Very little keeps a Sagittarius more excited than when they have a whole group of people that are ‘down’ to do what they want to do. They love having that tribe of adventurous souls who can meet them in their daring energy.
They have this deep trust that no matter what happens, they can get through it with the help of their friends and support groups. Quality time and fun trips are important to these people
Capricorn: Receiving Gifts
Capricorns want the feeling of being accomplished. As an Earth sign, part of that feeling is being surrounded by the types of useful and engaging things that will assist them on their path. They appreciate grounded and practical gifts that make life, in general, more efficient.
Capricorn is very aware of consequences, which is why they feel that unwinding and relaxing for a second could negatively affect them somehow. Having real-world gadgets and assistance is a good way to remove a bit of that weight.
Capricorn, being ruled by solid Saturn, is a big fan of what is real and legitimate. They can’t hang on empty promises, but the gift that they received from someone who meant a lot to them isn’t going anywhere and could last forever with enough care.
This idea is why Capricorns appreciate gifts. The physical object will remind them of you and induce a sense of nostalgia.
Aquarius: Acts Of Service
An Aquarius that is living their truth is here to form the future into something better than what is around us now. They embody the phrase “be the change you wish to see in the world.” From something as seemingly mundane as helping the elderly neighbor bring in her groceries, or picking up a coffee for their friend on the way to meet up with them, the Aquarius is naturally helpful.
They think endlessly about how to add their own spark to the world in order to make it a better place. They are famous for their charity and humanitarian work for this reason. Having a partner in crime that could go volunteer with them is their ultimate dream.
The Aquarius isn’t used to receiving all of the helpfulness that they put out there, so doing little things here and there while assisting them in building a better world is the best way to make the Aquarius feel seen and loved.
Pisces: Quality Time
Pisces love alone time – no question there. But they’ll always crawl back out of the solitude to meet up with their loved ones and show them all of the revelations they made while they were alone.
For Pisces, quality time is the most important love language. Pisces must feel their loved ones’ energy in order to understand them, so simply being around them helps them feel more connected to you.
They are great listeners also, which means that listening to them sometimes can make them feel that they’re receiving the energy that they put out to their loved ones.
The Pisces knows we are here for a good time, not a long time, and so they respect the intangibles more than the physical gifts. Deep feelings of love and appreciation between them and another is what they’re after.
Making memories and getting to know the intricacies of their partner is of the utmost importance to the Pisces.
Wrapping Up
The love languages are so genuinely interesting to me. I think it’s cool that the way we love others is often the way that we hope to receive love… is that true for you?
Let me know in the comments.
I can’t get over the depth that the love languages add to relationships. Knowing your own love language can aid you in letting others know how to love you better.
There are no downsides to better understanding yourself.
I’m so grateful for your continued support on this blog and my other ones. My only regret is not getting to know all of my readers personally so that I can feel your energy and get to know you.
I created the VIP consultation service to help my readers more personally. I can offer you whatever assistance you’re looking for astrologically. I’ve had amazing success with them so far and my spots are filling up, but I still have some available. I love doing it so much that I beg you to fill my schedule!
Wishing you all the luck in the Universe,
Anna Kovach
