Love is child’s play for Scorpio, to the point that there is no fairness to the other person involved. Scorpios write the rules of the game, and while their unpredictable prey is busy learning the basics, new additions are being added. There is no way to catch up when Scorpios are already 10 steps ahead. Fortunately, they have their moments of grace. All the planning and design and trickery can sometimes be put to good use, like a game master watching an escape room with a camera, waiting anxiously for clues, to see the many ways success can light up a face. In the same way Scorpios enjoy watching their partner successfully flirt with them, despite taking a chance and giving up all the necessary breadcrumbs in the first place. The joy of Rube Goldberg lies not in who takes credit for setting it all up but in the moments when the movement takes control and everything falls into place. So is love in the eyes of Scorpio.
Sagittarius are coders and crackers when it comes to love. They want to speak in metaphors and similes or, better yet, symbols that do not require them to speak at all. They long for that mental connection that is only possible with a partner who knows how to map and chase the same train of thought around them. They want someone who can continue to keep them on their toes. Someone who shares his playfulness, wit, and humor. Mind games do not equate to lack of integrity in the Sagittarius world, they are a display of intent and effort. It takes more effort to secretly communicate the depth of one’s feelings than to say “I love you” outright. As a sign they often put their foot in their mouth for not saying anything, love is different when they approve immersion and creativity. They will spend hours planning the perfect gift, date, announcement, or proposal. The moments that end up being fond memories in a relationship deserve careful care, and that takes time.
Tauruses are geniuses in love by their persistent nature, which in some cases is unfairly labeled as stubborn. Taurus keeps trying to make something work because they know they can’t. We’re not talking about defying someone else’s boundaries or going full-on Gaston here. We’re talking about the kind of commitment that ends up loving someone through arguments, apologizing first, and not running back to say you were at least the one who walked out the door. Taurus has the patience to let go of someone’s walls, earn their trust, and get to know them on a deeper level. They take you step by step, day by day, and you never have to worry about time or pressure to return. They want love that is sincere and that moves at its own pace. For honest answers. Tauruses have the ability to both live in the present while being intentional about their future. They are not arrogant but they understand that things must be done in a certain way, a certain foundation must be laid in order to build anything on it.
Geminis are Michelin star chefs. They give you heat. They give you chills. Salty, bitter, sweet, acidic—nothing unknown. They break every belief of people and always leave you wanting more. Just when you think you know them all, they throw a curveball your way. They finally connect their partners with the lifelong hope of learning who they really are. They understand the symbiotic relationship between pleasure and pain, that acting after a fight can sometimes make both parties more appreciative than before the initial conflict. Geminis understand everyone’s desire for variety, to feel like we can always reinvent ourselves and our relationships without falling prey to complacency or rigidity. They know the ropes to pull and the exact time to pull them. It’s all a delicate dance, the chase to be fired, to love to be loved. If you are lucky enough to be their partner, they will teach you the steps.
