In a dating culture that somehow gets more toxic by day, genuinely becoming attached to someone is looked upon as unfortunate – hence the term “catching feelings.”
Each zodiac sign has its own way of coping with this situation.
Some are slow to develop feelings, others fall immediately, and some try to sweep their feelings under the carpet.
Can you relate to your sign?
1. Aries
Aries falls hard and fast, and then they panic. These newfound feelings seem to trigger their fight or flight mode, and we all know this zodiac sign isn’t the one to run away.
So, Aries does what Aries does best: they pick fights. And, believe it or not, they have a reason for this silly attitude.
It’s like, if the person they like can handle them at their worst, explosive and confrontational, then there might be some hope for the future.
彼らは terrified of vulnerability, so instead of opening up, they’ll turn the whole thing into a competition.
Think of it as their way of testing the other person to see if they’re compatible.
2. Taurus
Taurus likes to take their time. They’re cautious when falling in love because they want to feel safe 第一に
However, once they decide someone’s worthy and they catch feelings, their mind really goes the distance, coming up with children’s names and all.
They start doing little things for that person without being asked: bringing coffee, fixing stuff, helping with homework, etc.
They come up with reasons to spend time together because closeness feels safe.
This zodiac sign feels deeply, and their fantasies can go far, but their actions are never rushed. Instead, they carefully work on building a connection.
It’s a slow-burn with them, but once they’re in, they’re in for the long haul.
3. Gemini
Gemini is a 珍しい zodiac sign, and that’s exactly how they show their interest.
They’ll want to know everything about the person they’re falling for. They might also share some things about themselves that they never told anyone before – then deflect, most likely.
Gemini tries really hard to convince themselves that they’re not really catching feelings. They’ll try to hide it, and they’ll analyze and overthink the whole thing a bunch of times.
However, they’ll know it’s the real thing when that urge to escape goes away.
They try to turn the whole process into a mind game, but eventually, if it’s meant to be, they’ll be happy to settle down.
4. Cancer
Cancer falls immediately and completely.
One of the first hints that this zodiac sign might really like someone is that they become hyper-aware of your feelings.
They’ll know right away if something’s bothering you, and they might even get caught up with your problems more than their own.
彼らは don’t hold back. As a matter of fact, being away from the person they like can actually cause them to feel physically bad, like a pain in their chest.
Their love is all-consuming, and they’re not afraid to get vulnerable.
When it’s real, they’ll have a strong urge to nurture and protect their chosen person.
5. Leo
Leo might get even more boastful and flamboyant when they start catching feelings. They just want that someone to see them in the best light.
And they usually don’t fall for people who are easy to impress; the fact that they must win someone over is the whole point.
This zodiac sign craves validation always, but especially when they have a serious crush.
However, when things get real and they accept their feelings, they’ll want the other person to see the real them, so they stop performing.
Leo wants to be loved for who they 本当に は, and if they feel comfortable enough to be so real with someone, they’ve found the one.
6. Virgo
When this zodiac sign has a crush, they start noticing every little thing – the way you laugh, your favorite colors, what you like to eat, etc.
They might start fixing little things for you without even telling you; they’re that 微妙.
Virgo tries to be careful with their feelings at first, but once they realize they really like someone, it hits them so hard.
In order to deflect, they might try to focus on their crush’s flaws, but end up finding them even more endearing.
Once they accept their feelings and understand that the person they like could be the one, they stop trying to control every little thing.
7. Libra
Libra tends to fall in love with the idea of someone before even really getting to know them.
Enmeshment gets them easily, so they might start adopting your music taste, interests, and maybe even your opinions.
They create this big love story in their head and want everything to be perfect.
They’re the people-pleasers of the zodiac, and they only stop performing when they’re truly comfortable with someone.
So, when they finally decide that they’ve found the one, they’ll stop running from disagreements and feel free to be completely authentic.
8. Scorpio
When Scorpio catches feelings, they suffer in silence. They don’t want to get vulnerable just yet, so they’ll quietly observe you when you look away and try to text you in subtle ways.
彼らは 慎重 and very プライベート, so you won’t really get to discover the real them until they decide that the time is right.
This zodiac sign loves deeply and intensely, but this love is reached only through trust and proving your loyalty to them.
When they feel like they’ve found the one, they’ll feel free to open up.
彼らは take love とても seriously, so they’ll reveal their feelings only when they’re sure you’re worth it.
9. Sagittarius
This zodiac sign loves to be on the move, and you know they’re catching feelings when they randomly start including you in 彼らの plans.
They answer every call when it’s you and want you to be a part of their adventures.
Sagittarius doesn’t like the idea of being tied down, so they’ll try to convince themselves that they’re only having fun and enjoying your company.
And when they have to lie to themselves like this, it means they’re already falling hard.
Feeling free is their priority, and they know that you’re the one when their freedom includes you.
Falling for real, for Sagittarius, means understanding that love doesn’t limit freedom but enhances it.
10. Capricorn
Capricorn never has the time, so you can tell they’re catching feelings when they always make sure to make time for that special someone.
This zodiac sign is 気が向かない when it comes to love because they see it as a distraction.
However, once they stop looking at their crush as a distraction and instead accept them as an integral part of their life, that’s it – they’re in love.
When it’s the real thing, they come to see that success means so much more when you have someone special to share it with.
Capricorn’s feelings grow slowly but steadily, and making the person they love proud becomes part of their mission.
11. Aquarius
Aquarius tends to think that catching feelings is kind of below them. So, when it inevitably happens, they try to intellectualize the whole thing.
They’re one of those zodiac signs who feel the need to hide from their own feelings at first.
They’re very slow and careful, because they want to feel understood and truly connected. People who think and feel like them are rare, so they must make sure that you’re one of them.
However, when they go through this process and feel comfortable around someone, they stop running. Instead, they’ll happily discuss their feelings.
They’re happiest when they can be themselves without restrictions, and when someone makes them feel like they can, they’ve found the one.
12. Pisces
Pisces falls immediately and completely; probably before the second date.
They give too much too soon and create entire futures in their head. They’re the dreamers of the zodiac, so they often fall in love with potential.
This zodiac sign doesn’t run from vulnerability, and they quickly come to terms with their feelings; perhaps too quickly.
However, when fantasy matches reality, they’ll know it’s the real thing.
When they’ve had enough time to get to know someone and love them for who they are and not who they could be, they’ve found the one.
Their love is pure and almost childlike, since they give their heart freely and put their feelings above all else.
