Your Love Language, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

  Understanding the five love languages can be quite the essential force in improving and understanding your relationships. Based on author Gary Chapman’s years of experience counseling couples of all ages, the five languages—words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, gifts and acts of service—represent five fundamental ways people express love. While each language should be used in different ways to communicate affection in their relationship, each person has a primary love language that acts as the guiding force of their emotional interactions. And understanding your love language can help you better communicate what you might need from a romantic partner.

For example, if your love language is quality time, but your S.O.’s love language is gifts, you’re always going to be on different pages. Your partner will continue to buy you things to show just how much they care for you, and you’ll continue to feel like they don’t actually love you because they can’t just put their phone down and listen to you for 5 minutes. However, if you understand that you’re simply communicating your affection in different ways, you can tell your partner what you need to feel loved and they can tell you their own love language in return. But how do you figure out what your love language is? Of course, we turned to the stars for guidance.
