Aries
March 21–April 19
Let’s be honest: Aries are the pursuers in any relationship because of their headstrong attitude. You know who else doesn’t stop until they get what they want? The popular girl in every high school romance movie who just so happens to be dating the 6’4 quarterback with a 2.0 GPA (bonus if they’re played by an actor 10 years too old to be a teenager). Aries would give Regina George a run for her money any day.
Taurus
April 20–May 20
Taurus as a rom-com lead would be too practical of a character, so what better way to stir up their love life than by giving them a strangers-to-lovers plot line? Perhaps being stuck on an economy flight and chatting with a flirty stranger the whole way to your destination will make you put your guard down and take a leap of faith as you explore London together.
Gemini
May 21–June 20
Step aside, everyone; Lara Jean has entered the picture! No one would handle the pressures of fake dating better than Geminis because who else has a personality with that much duality? Maybe you will find your own Peter Kavinsky this season (it’s a reach, though, but perhaps a situationship?).
Cancer
June 21–July 22
It may be cliché, but we love it nonetheless, so make room for a reunion with childhood friends! Cancers, with their sweet and sensitive approach to life, would instantly shed tears once reunited with the one they met in elementary school who moved abroad but came back at the most inconvenient time in Cancer’s love life.
Leo
July 23–August 22
Fun, outgoing and incredibly dramatic, Leos give off all the energy of someone who would end up in a high school sweethearts situation. This is the on-and-off, five-breakups-but-are-still-trying-to-make-it-work-in-university type of relationship that has the audience hooked regardless and believing that they’re soulmates because they’re just that cute.
Virgo
August 23–September 22
Pining after your ex? We expect nothing better from you, Virgos. So you can claim second-chance romance as your gateway to keep duping yourself into thinking the person who left you behind years ago is ready for you now. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again!
Libra
September 23–October 22
Too many options is bad for anyone, including you, Libras. Maybe if you stop flirting with every single person at the bar? Then, you might actually find yourself in a fulfilling relationship someday instead of being stuck as the second lead in a rom-com who is still alone by the end of the movie.
Scorpio
October 23–November 21
Since Scorpio has the flirting capability of a child who pulls girls’ pigtails on the playground, it would make sense for their love story to start with a bucket full of hatred. You can see them in an office chair, seething because their coworker did something to gain their disapproval again (Hating Game, we see you). Or perhaps it’s the guy at school who gets on your nerves, but you’re strangely attracted to him. We can’t wait to see the enemies turn into lovers, though!
Sagittarius
November 22–December 21
Love could be chasing you, but you would still somehow manage to outrun it like the rom-com player afraid of commitment. Take a few steps back, and you might find yourself someone who is willing to love you at first sight. The second meeting might not be in your favour once they see how reckless you are in every aspect of your life.
Capricorn
December 22–January 19
Sorry Capricorns, but when all your schedule consists of is work and your leisure time filled with even more work, the best that can happen for you is a friends-to-lovers trope because God knows your friends are the only ones who stick around to get glimpses of the rest of your personality. You’re not Anne Hathaway and this isn’t The Devil Wears Prada so stop being a workaholic that puts their job over everything else.
Aquarius
January 20–February 18
Aquarius thinks they’re intellectual enough to not get their heart swayed easily which is why we have upgraded from high school romance territory to college romance. Now, put them in a literature class like Tessa and Hardin from After and watch that resolve go downhill (we know you want to be right).
Pisces
February 19–March 20
Easily the most romantic sign but can too much romance be a thing? Pisces is indecisive enough on a good day but put them in a love triangle situation and they’ll be making every bad decision possible in a 1 hour 45 minute film. Anyway, team Conrad or Jeremiah?
