Romance and Astrology
"Your sun sign can tell
a lot about you as a lover. It can help you explore
how you approach your romantic love interests."
Heidi Richards Is it easy for you to get close
to someone or do you take your time in developing
meaningful relationships? What does your partner
bring to your relationship that either helps it
blossom or keeps it from going anywhere? Are you
finding love elusive or does it come easy? How
do you relate to those you are romantically attracted
to? What kind of relationship are you looking
for? What kind of partner are you seeking? While
reading about your sun sign is not the entire
answer to the age-old challenge of finding the
right partner, it can be a start. Your sun-sign
is only one aspect of your persona, what makes
you, you. Your Rising and Moon also determine
the life you were born to lead. Romance, Astrology
and You will shed some light on sun signs and
romance. Beyond that, you may wish to you seek
professionals who can prepare your chart and give
you a more in-depth personality/life reading.
The signs are divided into the four elements which
represent them. They are the elements of Fire,
Earth, Air and Water. This first page covers the
Fire signs - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. The Earth
signs - Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are on the
next page, Air signs - Gemini, Libra and Aquarius,
the next and the last page is dedicated to the
Water signs – Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.
Fire Signs
Fire signs represent enthusiasm and energy. The
hallmark of fire is inspiration. With a joy for
life, they can be ardent, forceful and have a
tendency to be extremely impulsive.
ARIES - (March 22 - April 20). Aries is ruled
by Mars, and its symbol is the Ram. Aries is a
Fire sign, impulsive and energetic. You are bold
and impatient, easily infatuated, and often lose
interest if boredom sets in. You tend toward impulsive
rather than cautious when it comes to matters
of the heart, making your interest known (sometimes
too quickly), and you tend to be very direct –
shy is not a word to describe the impetuous Aries.
You quickly bounce back from rejection, although
it isn’t something you are use to, as you like
to get your way. Quips and quarrels are often
seen as foreplay with the direct Aries. You like
the conquest in romance and can play "hard-to-get".
You find it stimulating when the object of your
affection plays the same game. However, in the
long run you love to let yourself be caught, to
be "swept away" with desire. You gravitate toward
the confident, rather than those who appear needier.
Aries loves to be caressed and told that you are
the best.
LEO - (July 23 – August 22) Leo is ruled by the
Sun and its symbol is the lion. As a Fire sign,
Leo’s world revolves around the principles of
identity and drama. You love to be the center
of your partner’s adoration and attention. You
tend to be flamboyant and melodramatic when it
comes to matters of the heart. You crave attention
and find ways to announce that you have arrived,
whether it be with a look, the way you “waltz”
into a room, the way you toss your head or even
the way you walk up to someone and give them a
gentle touch. You are a true romantic and have
been known to write a poem or two. You have style,
are generous and love to “surprise” the object
of your affection with flowers and candy. In fact,
surprises are second nature to you. You often
sport an aristocratic air, even if you weren’t
born into nobility. You love to be adored and
admired and taking the lead in romance gives you
a sense of power. You expect to be respected,
and will act worthy of respect with one you desire.
You know how to turn on the charm and raise the
heat in a relationship. Leos love to be touched
and admired.
SAGITTARIUS - (November 22 – December 21) Sagittarius
is ruled by Jupiter and is symbolized by the archer.
This Fire sign is connected with the identity.
You crave variety, new ideas, and new experiences.
In fact, you can be a little "excessive," which
means you can over-do things a bit - or a lot.
You love to explore new places, people and foods.
Change is something you simply cannot live without.
Routine is not a word that sits well with you
and anyone romantically interested in the archer
better be ready for adventure. You are a truth
seeker, love to learn and your interests are eclectic
and varied. You tend to embellish things a bit
(almost to the point of exaggeration) especially
when it comes someone who might be attracted to
you. You want them to find you as interesting
as you find life itself. You love your "space"
and freedom and want your partner to feel the
same. You find independence in others as sexy
as it is second nature to you. Playful dates are
a real turn-on for someone seeking a good-time.
When it comes to love-interests, you want to be
"friends first". Honesty is paramount to you and
you expect it from those in your life, especially
your mate. You can be philosophical one moment
and class clown the next. You are very jovial
and will seek a partner who makes you laugh. When
it comes to spirituality, you consider yourself
a guide along the long and winding road to self-discovery.
And when in the learning mode, the Sagittarius
will be a "seeker" or student to those who can
teach or inspire you. Sagittarians are as turned-on
by a stimulating conversation as they are by sensual
exploration.
Earth signs are physical and have to do with primarily
material affairs. They are natural and their feet
tend to be firmly planted on the ground, "earthy"
types. The hallmark of earth signs is practicality.
TAURUS - (April 21 – May 21) Taurus is ruled by
Venus and its symbol is the bull. Taurus is an
Earth sign which is connected with fruitfulness
and stability. You love luxury and sensual comforts
such as silky satin sheets, robes fit for a king
or queen and beautiful surroundings. You seek
comfort, security and beauty. A perfect romance
to you is one that is harmonious and beautiful,
even if a bit materialistic. Because of your fondness
for pretty things, you will proudly display your
possessions and purchasing power. You are easygoing,
calm, and comfortable to be around. You enjoy
sharing "quiet times" with your love interest
and also get excited about everyday activities
such as shopping and cooking and dining. You tend
to be stubborn and will do whatever you can to
get what you want. When it comes to showering
affection on the object of your desire, you enjoy
physical contact. You have a very sensual nature
and appreciate the pleasures of food, art, music,
perfumes, fondling, or sex. Because you appreciate
nature; a walk in the woods, hiking and rock-climbing
may be considered exciting dates. You also love
sunsets camping, gardening and simply being outdoors
and can be attracted to those who are equally
down-to-earth and outdoorsy. As long as your partner
or mate displays the qualities of loyalty and
honesty qualities which you likely possess, they
will have your undying loyalty and a relationship
destined to endure.
VIRGO - (August 23 - September 22) Virgo is ruled
by Mercury and is symbolized by the Virgin. As
an Earth sign, Virgo is connected with material
things and practicality. The ultimate organizer,
you gravitate toward anything that puts your analytical
mind to use. To the outside world you may appear
reserved and tend to hold back your emotions,
when it comes to love, it’s no holds barred for
the loving Virgo. You display great attention
to detail which can be considered good fortune
or a curse when it comes to relationships. You
are good at remembering your partner’s desires
(even those that were only mentioned in passing)
and love to cater to those desires. To you, organizing
the object of your affections is considered “flirting.”
Your favorite role is to be of help and service
to friends and partners. You are witty, perceptive
and logical. Your reasoning powers help you to
resolve conflicts easily and quickly taking your
romance to new depths. You need a partner who
will help you loosen your cautious shy nature.
You are a good listener and communicator, an important
aspect in romance. You love to “fuss” over your
partner and can sometimes be seen as critical.
Your partner should know though, that if you were
not interested, you would not work so hard to
help your love interest be “all he or she can
be.” Good health is of great concern to you and
you work hard to take care of yourself. You aim
to please and when it comes to love you fall hard.
Virgos are most attracted to those who keep themselves
physically fit.
Capricorn – (December 22 - January 20) Capricorn
is ruled by Saturn and is symbolized by the sea
goat. As an Earth sign, Capricorn is motivated,
determined and sets practical goals. Taking unnecessary
risks is not your “thing,” even in the area of
romance. You are ambitious and responsible. You
will, however do “whatever it takes” to get what
you want. Social status, reputation, position,
and career are important to you. You use these
to impress and attract the object of your desires.
When it comes to love, no silly games for you,
you prefer a more mature approach to courtship.
Glamour and dazzle are more your style – so an
evening that starts out in a limousine would be
perfect. You are supportive and dependable, good
qualities in any relationship. Security, a good
home, and the finer things in life are what you
strive for. You do not shy away from commitment,
as long as it is with the right person – in fact
you "play for keeps" and will be forever faithful.
Some might consider you a loner, but do not be
fooled by the aloof Capricorn. You are longing
for a deep, meaningful relationship with just
the right partner. Capricorns can be as powerful
in the bedroom as they are in the boardroom, so
lovers beware. You are seen by your peers as a
“winner” and often attract the same. When it comes
to romantic adventures, you are both practical
and romantic so a perfect getaway for you could
include both work and play.
Air signs have a great deal to do with relationships
and intellect and are gatherer knowledge using
their intuition and the head. They are known for
getting what they desire and achieving their goals.

when you are flirting with others, whether they
be romantic interests or just passing fancies.

share stores of people, places and experiences,
which you skillfully use to arouse the interest
of one you desire. Because you are so tuned into
communicating, you can see both sides of a situation.
You know there are always at least three sides
to every conflict. The sides of each party involved
and the truth; which you have a knack for discovering.
You can be a prolific writer. Love letters, poetry
and notes are easily used to seduce the object
of your affection. And mind games are beyond your
realm of romantic antics. Internet chat rooms
and forums stir your interest. Who knows, you
may even find your future mate online. You have
been known to give “good phone,” and enjoy long
conversations that revolve around romance and
sexual innuendos. Flirting is second nature to
you and you are almost shameless when it comes

and will find ways of including those you love
and admire in your plans, whether it be at work,
home or play. Although crowds of people don’t
seem to bother you, you prefer spending time with
your love interest alone rather than in a group
setting. You may start out at a big gala affair,
but will look for an appropriate time to get away
so the two of you can spend time alone together.

share your thoughts on life over those who easily
conform to societal pressures. You tend to be
more attracted to the outrageous than one who
looks and act like everyone else. You are sometimes
thought of as a “rebel with a cause” and will
be attracted to a partner who you shares your
desire to change the world. You are a free spirit

sharing that space with the object of your affection,
as long as you don’t get pushed into a corner.

the one you desire and consider it your way of
flirting. Sometimes you appear aloof or unemotional,
which can be a turn-off for some. Not to worry,
the right person will find it attractive and be
curious to know what lies beneath that detached
exterior. It seems an odd way to "flirt", but
it can be attractive to those who are curious
and have a similar demeanor. It is the game of

earth to make those in your life feel safe and
secure. Family is important to you and you enjoy
