So, you’ve found “the one” and you’re ready to take the plunge. Before you start picking out registry items and arguing over seating charts, you might want to consider what the stars have to say about your future spouse. While astrology shouldn’t be the make-or-break factor in your decision to tie the knot, a little insight couldn’t hurt, right? Let’s talk about what you need to know before saying “I do” to each zodiac sign.
1. Aquarius
Thinking of making it official with an Aquarius? Marrying one means signing up for a life of interesting conversations, humanitarian causes, and a partner who’s always ahead of the trends. But here’s the catch: their love for independence can sometimes make them seem emotionally detached. (“I love you” might be expressed through a detailed analysis of love as a social construct.) You’ll need to be secure in yourself and comfortable with giving them plenty of freedom. The upside? You’ll have an open-minded, forward-thinking partner who will always keep you intellectually stimulated.
2. Pisces
Marrying a Pisces means signing up for a life of romantic gestures, artistic expression, and a partner who can sense your mood before you even know what you’re feeling. But beware: their emotional nature can sometimes lead to mood swings and escapism. (“Why are you crying?” “I just had a sad daydream about our future pet goldfish dying.”) You’ll need to be emotionally supportive and sometimes act as an anchor. The bright side? You’ll have a compassionate, imaginative partner who will always try to make your dreams come true. Just be prepared for some confusing conversations where they communicate entirely in metaphors and maybe keep the tissues handy.
3. Leo
When you marry a Leo, you’re signing up for a lifetime starring role in the epic drama of their life. These fire signs are charismatic, generous, and love being the center of attention. But here’s the rub: their need for admiration can sometimes border on narcissism. (“Honey, can you hold the spotlight a little higher? I’m trying to make a dramatic entrance.”) You’ll need to be comfortable playing a supporting role and be ready with compliments at all times. The good news: your life will be filled with grand gestures, passionate romance, and a partner who will fiercely defend you.
4. Virgo
Planning to say “I do” to a Virgo? You’re signing up for a life of impeccable organization, thoughtful gestures, and a partner who always remembers to change the oil in your car. But be warned: their attention to detail can sometimes translate to nitpicking. (“Did you just put that fork in the wrong drawer? We’ve talked about this!”) You’ll need to have thick skin and be open to constant self-improvement. But you’ll also have a loyal, hardworking partner who will always strive to make your life better.
5. Aries
Thinking of putting a ring on that Aries? Then get ready for a rollercoaster ride —these fire signs are passionate, energetic, and always ready for the next big thing. But be warned: their impulsiveness can lead to some, let’s say, interesting decisions. (“Honey, I bought a motorcycle!”) You’ll need to be comfortable with a bit of chaos and a lot of spontaneity. On the plus side, your life will never be boring, and they’ll always encourage you to be your best self.
6. Taurus
Ready to settle down with a Taurus? Hope you like the slow life! Marrying a Taurus means signing up for cozy nights in, home-cooked meals, and a reliable partner. The downside? Their love for routine can sometimes translate to stubbornness. (“No, we can’t rearrange the furniture. It’s been this way for 10 years and it’s staying this way!”) You’ll need patience and diplomacy to navigate their set-in-stone ways. On the bright side, you’ll have a partner who’s loyal to a fault and will always make sure you’re well-fed and comfortable.
7. Gemini
When you lock it in with a Gemini, you’re subscribing to a never-ending podcast of fascinating facts, witty banter, and occasional conspiracy theories. These air signs are curious, communicative, and always up for a good debate. But, they are Gemini after all, and their dual nature means you might feel like married to two different people. (“Who are you and what have you done with my spouse?”) You’ll need to be flexible and enjoy intellectual stimulation to keep up with their ever-changing interests. At least you’ll have lively dinner parties, and you’ll never run out of things to talk about.
8. Cancer
Planning to tie the knot with a Cancer? You better start stocking up on tissues because being with Cancer means a life of deep feelings, nurturing care, and a partner who remembers every anniversary (including the anniversary of your first text message). But be prepared: their mood swings can give you whiplash and you’ll need to be emotionally available and ready to provide constant reassurance. The silver lining? You’ll have a partner who’s incredibly loyal, makes your house feel like a true home, and will always be there with a shoulder to cry on.
9. Libra
Getting together with a Libra means signing up for a life of elegant dinner parties, thoughtful compromises, and a partner who always strives to see both sides of an argument. But here’s the catch: their desire for balance can sometimes lead to indecisiveness. (“Should we have pizza or sushi for dinner?” Three hours later, still debating). You’ll need patience and the ability to make decisions when they’re stuck in a loop of pros and cons.
10. Sagittarius
Hope you’ve got your passport ready! These fire signs are the adventurers of the zodiac. Marrying a Sagittarius means signing up for a life of spontaneous trips, philosophical discussions, and a partner who’s always eager to learn something new. But, their love for freedom can sometimes clash with commitment. You’ll need to be independent and comfortable with giving them space to roam. If you can do that, you’ll have an optimistic, fun-loving partner who will always encourage you to broaden your horizons.
11. Capricorn
These earth signs are ambitious, responsible, and always have their eyes on the prize. Marrying them means a life of stability, success, and a partner who always has a 10-year plan. But their focus on goals can sometimes make them seem all work and no play, so you’ll need to be patient and supportive of their career aspirations. As long as that sounds good to you, you’ll have a dependable, hardworking partner who will provide a secure and comfortable life.
12. Scorpio
Ready for a life of deep emotional connections, powerful chemistry, and a partner who can read you like an open book? That’s what a Scorpio is going to provide. Can their intensity sometimes translate to jealousy and possessiveness? Yes, so you’ll need to be comfortable with emotional depth and be ready to prove your loyalty time and time again. But on the other side of that, you’ll have a fiercely devoted partner who will stand by you through thick and thin.
