A love language is a concept coined by Dr. Gary Chapman.
Every person expresses and receives love in their own unique way.
According to Chapman, the 5 love languages are:
- Words of Affirmation
- Acts of Service
- Gift Giving
- Quality Time
- Physical Touch
Still, it’s impossible to define love so easily. And it’s a sin to confine it.
But if you’re not sure what your love language is, astrology can help you make sense of it.

1 • Aries
- Aries Love Language: Words of Affirmation (Also: Physical Touch)
The ever-warm and compassionate Aries is all about the spoken and the written word.
A good morning text is enough to give them a dopamine shot to last the whole day.
Yes, you can tell an Aries you love and appreciate them – and they’ll be over the moon.
But it doesn’t need to be direct. Just remembering the little things goes a long way, like their favorite color. Asking how their day went. What they’re up to. And how they slept.
The gentle Aries loves long, rambling conversations, too.
An Aries will go out of their way to make you feel special. They leave no room for doubt. It’s easy to know where you stand in their life, but they need that energy reflected back.
2 • Taurus
- Taurus Love Language: Physical Touch (Also: Gift Giving)
A Taurus is deeply attuned to their senses.
In a stable, loving relationship, they express their love to you physically.
Sex is always on the table, sure. But a Taurus is also about snuggling under a blanket, holding you tightly while saying goodbye, giving you kisses, and holding your hand.
With a Taurus, you’ll be receiving gifts left and right.
3 • Gemini
- Gemini Love Language: Quality Time (Also: Words of Affirmation)
A Gemini is a sucker for good, stimulating conversation – especially if it’s gossip.
Challenge them intellectually and they’ll fall head over heels in love with you.
Never try to limit or confine them. A Gemini needs air to breathe, to explore – to live.
Respect their freedom and be the wind in their sails.
Keep in mind that a Gemini is always going to need fresh and exciting experiences.
For a relationship with a Gemini to work, spontaneity is a must.
4 • Cancer
- Cancer Love Language: Acts of Service (Also: Quality Time)
A Cancer stays with you through thick and thin, always lending a helping hand.
Their nurturing, life-loving presence makes every burden a little easier to bear.
You can always count on a Cancer to give you a shoulder to lean on, to cry on.
As a caregiver, they’ll do anything to make you happier – and succeed at it effortlessly.
But they expect (and need) loyalty and dedication in return to feel appreciated.
Show them you care, be there for them, and check up on them often.
It’s those who help others the most that usually suffer in silence.
5 • Leo
- Leo Love Language: Physical Touch (Also: Gift Giving)
To say Leos love the spotlight would be an understatement. They crave it.
So, when they’re in love – they’re not just in love. Their love is a spectacle.
Leos want that moviesque feeling of a passionate, adventurous, fairytale relationship.
That’s why when they hold you, you feel like the center of the universe.
A Leo will always sweep you off your feet and make everything about you.
6 • Virgo
- Virgo Love Language: Acts of Service (Also: Words of Affirmation)
You can always rely on a Virgo to keep you out of trouble.
Virgos often show affection through reason. Simply put, they advise those they love and care about. Their advice is never misguided. You can trust a Virgo to point the right way.
A Virgo will do just about anything to make you feel loved, safe, and cherished.
And they’re practical, too! Always on the move, staying proactive.
Sure, most Virgos struggle with overthinking, but rarely with indecision or inaction.
They’ll remember everything about you – even the color of your favorite childhood toy.

7 • Libra
- Libra Love Language: Quality Time (Also: Physical Touch)
If there ever was a rule Libras live by, it’s to make memories.
Libras enjoy attention, but it has to go both ways.
They’re always trying to capture that perfect moment. Whether it’s a movie night or a spur-of-the-moment adventure, they’re open to anything, as long as stability remains.
Remember, Libras strive for balance. And they express their love in many ways.
But there’s never any ifs and buts or maybes about their feelings toward you.
8 • Scorpio
- Scorpio Love Language: Physical Touch (Also: Quality Time)
Scorpios are physical – that’s pretty much crystal clear.
When a Scorpio falls for you, they’ll want to shower you with hugs, kisses, and affection.
They crave and rely on being close and intimate with you whenever possible.
So, being with a Scorpio pretty much amounts to a lot of excitement in the bedroom.
It’s where Scorpios thrive – but not where they’re confined to.
Scorpios love adventures and they’ll want to experience them with you by their side.
9 • Sagittarius
- Sagittarius Love Language: Quality Time (Also: Physical Touch)
To the Sagittarius, all the world’s a stage – a playground.
They chase sunsets, try new things, and experiment. And if they bring you along for the ride, you mean a lot to them. They want to share every wonderful moment with you.
One moment, it’s wine and jazz at their place. The next, you’re suddenly flying to Europe.
Sure, being with a Sagittarius can be unpredictable – but it’s always exciting.
How intensely and passionately they love is a ride in and of itself.
10 • Capricorn
- Capricorn Love Language: Gift Giving (Also: Quality Time)
Capricorns are not really fans of saying how they feel – well, at least not at first.
But they love hard. Their love is pure, real, and basically forever.
And they’ll let you know they love you by picking the perfect gifts.
Their gift-giving isn’t limited to anniversaries; they love to surprise. The gifts they give often hold sentimental value. They’re thoughtful. And they know how to keep a secret.
Capricorns always go out of their way to make you feel special.
But the most precious gift a Capricorn can give you is time – in abundance.
11 • Aquarius
- Aquarius Love Language: Acts of Service (Also: Words of Affirmation)
Aquarians are all about the so-called little things in life.
An Aquarian knows well that a simple act of kindness can change a person’s life.
In love, they express their affection in a mature, emotionally intelligent way.
Deep down, they’re driven to change the world. And they’ll try to change you, too (for the better, of course), by making sure you feel treasured and appreciated every single day.
An Aquarian will fall head over heels for you if you share and believe in their purpose.
12 • Pisces
- Pisces Love Language: Words of Affirmation (Also: Physical Touch)
The dreamy Pisces can never really lose their innocence.
They’re always hopeful, always romantic, and always passionate.
A Pisces will show you how they feel – rather than tell you. But they’re the ones that need affirmation. Because they’re afraid to ask. They withdraw to hide in their cute little shells.
So, make sure you remind them often just how much they mean to you.
And if you make a Pisces feel loved, you’ll get the whole package – a fairytale romance.
