Lust, happiness, desire, tension… all these feelings are part of love and can easily be confused for love. Some zodiac signs are more difficult to distinguish between love and lust than others. Whether they’re enjoying the thrill of the chase or longing to find their forever partner, here are four astrological signs that are often mistaken for true love.
Aries
As a fire sign, Aries’ passion burns and shines. Although this star doesn’t mind celibacy and enjoys being independent, Aries also enjoys dating. They are happy to sweep the thing they love off their feet and get caught up in a whirlwind romance.
Since this zodiac sign is ruled by Mars, the planet of war and violence, Aries considers potential love partners as victories to be won. They pursue what they desire with such passion that their determination can be confused with love.
The typical Aries is headstrong and impulsive, especially in matters of the heart. They move quickly in romance, taking relationships from zero to a hundred overnight. Aries is probably the sign most likely to get married in Las Vegas the day they meet someone at the casino, or book a trip overseas with their partner they’ve been dating for a week.
But just as a fiery match ends in seconds, so can Aries love. When the excitement wears off and the youth wears off, they seek their freedom and move on quickly.
Cancer
Cancer is a water sign, and water signs are known for sensitivity and sensitivity. Cancers feel their feelings deeply, and when they fall in love, they fall head over heels. They enjoy being together and are most happy in a committed relationship. They make devoted partners and their love is intense.
However, they experience feelings like lust and deep pleasure like love (or hate, for that matter). With all their emotions heightened, it’s easy for them to make the mistake of chasing infatuation for true love… regardless of whether the thing they love reciprocates their feelings.
The love life of a typical Cancer is a mood swing – they have highs and lows. They fall in love quickly, but it takes a long time for their feelings to fade after the breakup. They often make the mistake of falling in love, thinking they’ve found “the one” with whomever they connect with.
But this sweet naivety makes Cancers very likable and easy to love – they yearn for true love and believe in it so strongly that they always get back on their feet, no matter how many times bad relationships and lies start knocking them down.
Leo
Leo is symbolized by the proud lion, the king of the forest. Although this star sign thrives on attention and can play hard to get, they have no problem being the bully in a relationship. Like a lion stalking its prey, they love the thrill of the chase. They tend to love-blow up something they love, give them the best gifts, the best recommendations, and the best experiences.
Sometimes, though, the chase is the most exciting part of Leos’ relationships. Once they win someone over, they may find that the spark is gone and they no longer want to continue in love. The love they confuse quickly ends, it turns out that it wasn’t true love at all.
Pisces
Pisces is one of the most romantic signs of the zodiac, and Pisces people never settle for anything less than a soulmate connection in their relationship. However, it is very easy for them to confuse true love, so that they can find a soulmate connection with almost anyone. They are so desperate for love that they ignore the bright red flags, let their emotions take over and let them fall for the wrong people.
It doesn’t help that Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of deception, myth, and confusion. Pisces people get caught up in their daydreams and imaginations, confusing reality with fiction and lust for love. They can visualize the future with their crush, so they think it must happen.
But Pisces people are smart and good at following their instincts. When they realize that their partner is not the life partner they want, they regret letting go to find the one they are truly meant to be with.
