How to Use Each Zodiac Sign's Love Language, According to an Astrologer

When starting a new relationship, knowing your partner's astrological sign and love language can be a useful tool to better understand who they really are. Astrological information is generally easy to obtain, whether from one's profile on a dating app or simply by asking "When were you born?" On the other hand, learning a person's love language can be a little more complicated. Unless you do the test together to create a bond (here's a bond!), information is usually learned over time...but that doesn't have to be the case. It turns out that you can identify the love language of each zodiac sign.

But first, a quick reminder of what we mean when we talk about love languages: There are five love languages ​​- a term coined by Gary Chapman in his book of the same name - which concern the way a person feels affection. These are words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. With her knowledge of the qualities of each zodiac sign, Ambi Kavanagh, astrologer and founder of SoulStrology, is able to accurately determine the strongest love language(s) for each sign.

Discover the love language of your zodiac sign below, according to an astrologer.

Ram

"Physical touch and words of affirmation are of the utmost importance to Aries," says Kavanagh. "This sign, which is ruled by Mars, is passionate and needs physical contact, plus those words of affirmation to stroke their romantic ego."

Bull

Taurus is a big fan of material objects - the things in life that you can touch, hold and smell. This does not make them superficial, but rather means that they like everything that is real and tangible.

"Receiving gifts is proof that they are loved by their loved ones, while physical contact is very important to this sign, as it is linked to the five senses and is deeply sensual," says Kavanagh.

Gemini

Gemini is a particularly powerful talkative sign. If you are very discerning and honest with your words, you will attract them.

"Unsurprisingly, words of affirmation are the love language of Gemini, for whom conversation is a form of foreplay," says Kavanagh. "Gemini loves to connect on an intellectual level. Seduce their mind, and their heart will be yours forever."

Cancer

“Sensitive Cancer likes to take care and be taken care of, so your Cancer lover will want lots of quality time as reassurance of their importance to you,” says Kavanagh. “They also love to receive what they give, so acts of service speak loudly to their hearts and let them know you love them.”

Lion

"The fiery, passionate Leo's love language is definitely physical touch—these lovers need affection to be showered with affection," Kavanagh says. "They also appreciate quality time with loved ones and words of affirmation, because Leos love to be loved in every way."

Virgin

Virgo's practicality is what usually wins out when it comes to being loved. They are such hard workers that when someone can take a weight off their shoulders, it means a lot to them.

“Devoted Virgos will treat your acts of service as a romantic gesture,” says Kavanagh. “This sign is all about service and enjoys receiving what they value so much.”

Balance

Libras are known to be die-hard romantics, and so they'll happily embrace all the classic tropes: red roses, chocolates, and champagne.

"Ruled by Venus, Libra loves everything beautiful," says Kavanagh. "For this sign, receiving gifts is an expression of love. This sociable sign also likes to partner up and spend quality time with their other half."

Scorpio

Scorpio is known for their ability to penetrate the psyche, but the path to their heart often passes through their bed. "It's no surprise that the sign that rules sex in the natural zodiac reveres physical touch as its number one love language," says Kavanagh.

Sagittarius

Kavanagh says the zodiac sign love language for you, Sagittarius, is words of affirmation to boost your spirit. Sagittarius also appreciates the love language of quality time when finding a moment to sit quietly.

“The zodiac optimist who sees the glass half full loves to hear that those close to him appreciate him and see his light,” Kavanagh says. "The wanderer of the zodiac, Sagittarius may seem restless, but in reality, they really enjoy quality time with their significant other."

Capricorn

“The duty-oriented and pragmatic Capricorn views acts of service as a truly loving act on the part of their significant other,” says Kavanagh. "Capricorn is also quite focused on the material world, so receiving gifts on their wish list is a surefire way to light up their hearts."

Aquarius

“A thinker, talker and doer, Aquarians' hearts race as they discuss their thoughts and the causes they care about,” says Kavanagh. “They need affirmation from those close to them that their personal plans to save the world and humanity are valid.”

Fish

Pisces are the psychic empaths of the zodiac, they feel everything to everyone and impart their wisdom when asked. It's both a gift and a curse, and while Pisces loves being close to their loved ones, they also need to be taken care of from time to time.

"For sensitive Pisces, the number one love language is quality time, but acts of service are also a love language for this selfless sign whose love, much like the ocean, has no no limits,” says Kavanagh.
