Your Love Language, According to Your Zodiac Sign

Finally, a good reason to bring back the pick-up line, “Hey baby, what’s your sign?” (Well, maybe not a “good” reason - don’t quote me if you try this line and it doesn’t work!)

Most people know their zodiac sign, but do you know your zodiac sign’s love language?

Zodiac compatibility is an ancient and complex art, one that can take years to master - but, if you know which love language each zodiac sign is most likely to speak, you’ll be able to understand and get along with your loved ones and romantic partners in a whole new way. Plus, understanding your own zodiac sign and love languages are big steps towards knowing what you need in your relationships, which can often be tough to identify.

Your Zodiac’s Love Language

Below, I’ve listed the top 2 love languages each zodiac sign is most likely to have. (If you’re familiar with your birth chart, it’s a good idea to check your Sun, Moon, Rising, and Venus signs, and cross-reference the love languages for each to find the patterns.)

It’s also a good idea to compare your sign’s love languages with your partner’s and/or loved ones’ to find out where your love styles overlap, and where they diverge or clash.

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Aries

Oh Aries, you might be the baby of the zodiac, but nobody puts you in a corner. You’re most likely to speak Physical Touch or Quality Time as your primary love language.

Touch is often something spontaneous, but that’s exactly why you love it so much – spontaneity is one of your strong-suits. You also feel your bond deepening further when you get to share experiences and time with your nearest and dearest, regardless of what exactly you’re doing.

Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Cancer

You’ve got a hard shell, Cancer, but your insides are as sweet and squishy as they come. You won’t let just anyone into your inner circle, but one of the quickest and surest ways to your heart is by prioritizing Quality Time to properly care for your loved ones (and be cared for in return).

When time is short, however, warm and fuzzy Words of Affirmation (of which you yourself have no shortage) are just as meaningful to you and can instantly collapse any distance between you and your loved ones.

Scorpio

While you may be quite avoidant of touch in your day-to-day life, Scorpio, it’s only because you’re so sensitive to it. The love language of Physical Touch speaks volumes to you because you can use it to connect on a deeper, visceral level with your loved ones.

That said, only those you trust get the privilege of being close enough to you to touch, and earning that trust is often heavily bolstered by Acts of Service that prove your loved one’s loyalty and intention.

Pisces

As the zodiac’s escapist daydreamer, Pisces, you can get lost in any moment - but your favorite moments to lose yourself in are the ones lost in love. Your go-with-the-flow approach to life compels you to prioritize Quality Time together, and you want the same from your partner in return.

Just as the moon pulls on the ocean tides, you feel a visceral, almost physical pull towards your loved ones, making Physical Touch a powerful manifestation of love for you.

Concluding Thoughts…

Whether or not these love languages match up with you and your sign, remember that there is no such thing as truly “incompatible” zodiac signs; you can make a relationship work with anyone as long as you both take the time to understand each other.

There’s no guarantee that two people with the same zodiac sign will be anything alike. The same applies to love languages too; the way you use one love language might look very different from someone else’s use of that same language. That’s because everyone speaks their own unique dialect of the love languages, just as everyone embodies the traits of their zodiac sign a little bit differently.

With enough practice, you can be fluent in all 5 love languages, regardless of your zodiac sign. (But maybe leave the pick-up lines at home.)
