Welcome to the cosmic dance of love and stars, where the question of “What’s your sign?” opens doors to uncharted territories of the heart. I’m Stella, your guide through the nuanced world of Dating by Zodiac Sign.
Why embark on this stellar journey, you ask? Through my own whirlwind adventures in dating men of every astrological stripe, I’ve discovered that the stars indeed hold keys to understanding our romantic connections.
My rankings are not pulled from thin air but are grounded in real experiences, laughter, tears, and the unexpected moments that love often throws our way. This guide is my heartfelt attempt to navigate the complex yet exhilarating world of dating, viewed through the lens of astrology.
Rank 12: Gemini (my score: F)
Ah, Geminis. Where do I start? My experience with Gemini men has been akin to trying to nail Jell-O to a wall—entertaining but ultimately futile.
I dated a Gemini named “Jimmy”(True story) who was charming and witty at first, talking about everything from Nietzsche to Netflix’s latest hit. However, his dual nature meant he was also as reliable as a Wi-Fi signal in the subway.
One minute he’s planning our next date, and the next, he’s ghosting me for a video game marathon. Another Gemini, “Mark,” could switch from sweetheart to ice king in 0.2 seconds. Their unpredictability and lack of consistency are just too much for my Scorpio desire for depth and my Virgo’s need for stability.
Rank 11: Aries (my score: D)
Aries men are the human equivalent of a firework – dazzling, full of energy, and gone too quickly. I once dated an Aries named “Luke,” whose idea of a first date was bungee jumping.
Thrilling? Yes. A heart attack waiting to happen? Also, yes. Their adventurous spirit is exciting, but their impatience and sometimes brash nature can clash with my Capricorn-driven need for a solid plan and my Scorpio’s love for emotional depth.
Then there was “Ted,” who loved a good debate a little too much. Aries men are passionate and lively, but their intense need for competition can make everything feel like a battleground, not a romantic encounter.
Rank 10: Leo (my score: C-)
Leos, oh Leos. Dated a guy named “Ryan,” who was the life of the party. Leos are charismatic, and they know it. Ryan was generous and always made sure I was the center of attention – when it suited him. However, their love for the spotlight can sometimes mean they’re more in love with the idea of love, seeking admiration rather than a deep connection.
This clashed with my Scorpio and Virgo sides, craving authenticity and sincerity over grand gestures. Another Leo, “Danny,” was all about grand romantic gestures, which initially swept me off my feet. But their need for constant validation and fear of being outshone was exhausting for my Sagittarius ascendant, which craves freedom and spontaneity.
Rank 9 Scorpio (my score: C)
You’d think dating your own sign would be a dream come true, right? Well, it’s complicated. Scorpios are intense, passionate, and they can match my depth like no other.
I once dated a Scorpio named “Dan”, and our connection was electric, filled with deep conversations and mutual understanding. However, Scorpios can also be possessive and jealous, leading to a power struggle reminiscent of a “Game of Thrones” episode.
Our similar strengths were our downfall; it was like dating a mirror version of myself, reflecting both the good and bad. The emotional rollercoaster was too much, even for me, proving that sometimes, being too similar can be a relationship’s undoing.
Rank 8: Sagittarius (my score: C)
Dating a Sagittarius man is like embarking on an adventure where the destination is uncertain but guaranteed to be interesting.
“Jake,” a Sag I briefly dated, was a bundle of energy and philosophical insights, which resonated with my Mercury in Sagittarius, leading to endless nights of deep conversations under the stars.
However, their commitment-phobia and love for freedom clashed with my Scorpio’s desire for a deep, all-consuming connection. Sagittarians value their independence above all, making it hard for them to settle down, which didn’t sit well with my Virgo moon’s need for security and routine.
Another Sag, “Eli,” was the epitome of spontaneity, planning last-minute trips that thrilled my Sagittarius ascendant. Yet, his reluctance to discuss anything remotely emotional left me craving more than just surface-level excitement.
Rank 7: Capricorn (my score: B-)
Capricorn men are an interesting mix of ambition, discipline, and practicality, which appeals to my Mars in Capricorn, fostering a sense of mutual respect and understanding.
I dated “Michael,” a Capricorn whose work ethic and determination were utterly sexy, showing me the allure of shared goals and dreams. Their grounded nature and loyalty can provide the stability my Virgo placements adore. However, Capricorns can also be all work and no play, making the relationship feel more like a business partnership.
“Nathan” was another Capricorn who shared my ambition, but his emotional availability was as barren as a desert, challenging for my Scorpio sun, which craves emotional depth and intensity. While Capricorns and I share many values, the emotional connection can sometimes feel lacking, making it a solid, if not earth-shattering, match.
Rank 6: Cancer (my score: B)
Cancer men bring a depth of emotion and nurturing care that can make anyone feel loved and cherished. I was involved with “Chris,” a Cancer whose sensitivity and attentiveness were like a warm embrace. Their ability to tune into emotions resonated with my Scorpio sun, creating a bond that felt both comforting and intense.
Cancers are family-oriented and loyal, appealing to my Virgo moon’s need for stability and my Capricorn mars’ appreciation for loyalty. However, their moodiness and tendency to retreat into their shell during conflict can be frustrating.
“Ben,” another Cancer, showed me the joys and pains of being with someone so in tune with their emotions. While the emotional connection was profound, the highs were heavenly, and the lows were akin to navigating a stormy sea, challenging my Sagittarius ascendant’s need for freedom and light-heartedness. Despite the emotional rollercoaster, the depth of connection with Cancer men is hard to beat, making them a rewarding, if somewhat challenging, match.
Rank 5: Pisces (my score: B)
Pisces men are the poets and dreamers of the zodiac, creating a love story that feels like it’s straight out of a fairy tale. “Will,” the one who got away and perhaps the deepest love I’ve experienced, was a Pisces. Our connection was otherworldly, his creativity and emotional depth resonating with my Scorpio heart like a missing piece of a puzzle.
Pisces has this uncanny ability to dive deep into your soul, making you feel seen and understood on a level that’s almost spiritual. They’re compassionate, and empathetic, and can match the emotional intensity I crave, providing a sanctuary for my Virgo moon’s need for care and understanding. However, Pisces can also be escapists, living in a world of their own making, which clashes with my Capricorn mars’ desire for realism and practicality.
“Jamie,” another Pisces, could weave beautiful visions of our future but struggled to plant his feet on the ground and make those dreams a reality. Despite the occasional frustration with their head-in-the-clouds nature, dating a Pisces offers a depth of emotional connection and understanding that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Rank 4: Taurus (my score: A-)
Taurus men are like a fine wine—rich, indulgent, and getting better with time. My experience with “Evan,” a Taurus, was a revelation in stability, sensuality, and the finer things in life.
Taurus’s earthy nature grounds me, providing a stable foundation that allows my Scorpio intensity to flourish without fear of judgment. They’re loyal, reliable, and have an appreciation for comfort. Tauruses are sensual and appreciate the physical aspects of a relationship, matching my Scorpio sun’s desire for a passionate connection. However, their stubbornness can be a double-edged sword;
“Chris,” another Taurus, could be immovable in his views, clashing with my Sagittarius ascendant’s love for freedom and exploration. Despite this, Tauruses offer a blend of stability, loyalty, and passion that complements my nature beautifully, making them an ideal partner for someone who values depth and consistency in a relationship.
Rank 3: Virgo (my score: A)
Ah, Virgo men—where the magic of meticulousness meets the warmth of a kindred spirit. Dating a Virgo is like finally having someone who not only gets your quirks but celebrates them.
“Guy,” a Virgo whose attention to detail rivaled my own, showed me the beauty in the everyday. Our dates were never grandiose, but they were thoughtful, from curated playlists to picnics in the park with all my favorite foods. This resonated deeply with my Virgo moon and Venus, appreciating the stability and practicality he brought to the table. Virgos are also incredibly communicative, fostering a relationship where growth and improvement were not just goals but journeys we embarked on together.
However, their critical nature can sometimes be a bit much, making you feel like you’re under a microscope. Despite this, the level of mutual understanding and shared values makes dating a Virgo a deeply fulfilling experience, blending perfectly with my need for a connection that’s both emotionally and intellectually satisfying.
Rank 2: Libra (my score: A)
Libra men are the epitome of charm and balance, making every moment spent with them feel like you’re the star of your own romantic movie. My time with “Ethan,” a Libra, was like walking into a dream where harmony and beauty reigned supreme.
Libras, ruled by Venus, have an innate understanding of relationships, and their desire for balance complements my Scorpio intensity and Virgo’s need for order. Ethan’s knack for making peace and his unwavering commitment to fairness resonated with my justice-loving Sagittarius ascendant.
Their romantic nature and appreciation for beauty in all forms speak to my Scorpio heart, craving intensity and depth. Libras are also great communicators, providing the kind of stimulating conversations. The only downside? Their indecisiveness can be maddening, especially when it comes to choosing a restaurant. But, their ability to create harmony and their unparalleled partnership skills make dating a Libra a near-perfect experience, balancing my need for depth with a peaceful, loving relationship.
Rank 1: Aquarius (my score: A+)
And then, there’s Aquarius—the sign that, against all odds, tops my personal dating list. Picture this: a cold, starry night in the city, where the unexpected becomes reality. That was my magical first date with “Alex,” an Aquarius whose intellect and uniqueness captivated me from the start.
Aquarians are known for their forward-thinking ideas and a touch of rebellion, which sparks life into my Scorpio soul’s love for mystery and transformation. Alex’s humanitarian side and innovative thinking were a breath of fresh air, providing endless topics for discussion that satisfied my Mercury in Sagittarius’ love for philosophy and higher learning.
His respect for my independence matched my Sagittarius ascendant’s need for freedom, while his commitment to making the world a better place spoke to every facet of my chart. The connection was electric—unlike anything I’d ever felt. Aquarians might be known for their emotional detachment, but with Alex, I discovered a depth of feeling and understanding that transcended the usual boundaries, making every moment together an adventure.
It was the perfect blend of intellectual companionship, emotional exploration, and mutual respect for each other’s quirks and freedoms. This, my friends, is why Aquarius takes the crown in my book—a relationship that feels like a journey to the future, where every day is an opportunity to grow, love, and be utterly, uniquely ourselves.
