The fact that you can kind of hear their voice in your head when you’re reading a text from them, from sound to delivery to level of sarcasm.

A heartbroken Capricorn is methodical about moving on. You let yourself grieve the relationship for what you consider an ‘appropriate’ amount of time and then you start actively pursuing a plan that will help you heal.

An Aquarius in love struggles to fight against their instinct to be detached and aloof – but only because, for once, you make them want to open up and willingly make themselves vulnerable if it means growing closer to you. 

Scorpio: While you have a lot of great qualities when it comes to love (your passion, your magnetism), you always end up digging yourself a hole you can’t climb out of. This is largely due to your struggles with jealousy and obsession – you have a hard time letting things go, you hold on to your resentment, and you bottle things up instead of talking to your partner.

Gemini: You feel like you’re a fake or edited version of yourself in front of them. You never feel like you can truly relax and instead feel like you always have to be ‘on’ when you’re around them.

Virgo: Someone who has a naturally calming presence, who is well-read and intellectual without being pompous, and who is candid and confidently frank about their feelings.

Aries: You feel invigorated, not stifled.

Capricorn: Stop looking at love methodically. 

“He always sends a physical, handwritten birthday card to everyone close in his life. It’s so sweet and endearing I can barely even handle it.”

Cancer: You can put yourself first.

“I stayed close with his parents and his sisters and looking back on it now, that just made it so much harder for me to move on. And I think it probably made me look like I was still desperately clinging on.”

Capricorn: He’s your unfailing sounding board. 

Aries: Totally unabashed by their feelings. 

Pisces: You will find love once you stop letting other people tell you what you want. You need to just decide for yourself what you want and stop letting everyone else tell you who to date or how to date.

Sagittarius: You know you’ve found the one when you can actually be real, complicated, and three-dimensional in front of them.

They’re so good at making you laugh at yourself.

Do the challenges you experience at work make you feel energized, invigorated, and proud of yourself (even when they’re difficult and overwhelming), or do these challenges only make you feel stressed out, panicked, and constantly on edge?

Scorpio: Because being single means you can charge after your dreams and goals at 150 miles an hour without worrying about how another person fits into those plans.
