How to Read a Man by His Sun Sign

Astrology is for Lovers

When I read astrology charts for couples, one of the first things I consider is the sun sign. Here are some fun, easy tips to “read” the man you’re interested in through his sun sign. Share them with a friend, put them on the refrigerator door or keep them in a purse, because you never know when you’ll need them (and I hope you’ll need them!)

Okay, let’s get started…

Aries

The Plus: Here’s a man who speaks the language of adventure, who takes a chance. Bold and independent, he’s a pioneer.
The Minus: Can be selfish and arrogant.
Beware: On the first date, water signs and Libras may find themselves falling headfirst into a plate of food, as he tells one more story about himself and exclaims, “You know, you’re so interesting to talk to.”
The Solution: Keep a cattle prod handy for when you need to talk.

Taurus

The Plus: He’s sensuous, grounded, and very good with his hands. You will feel secure knowing he’s around.
The Minus: He’s stubborn and can get stuck in a rut.
Beware: Fire signs may want to get a dog instead. They are just as loyal, will also make you feel secure and cost less to feed.
The Solution: If you want to go out dancing, and he’s been on the couch for three days, don’t take no for an answer. In place of pearls tonight, consider wearing a pizza around your neck instead.

Gemini

The Plus: Great communicator, very friendly and outgoing, always a joy to be around.
The Minus: Scattered, overly flirtatious, sometimes intellectual about feelings.
Beware: Scorpios may spontaneously combust from rage watching this man flirt at a party.
The Solution: He may be loyal on the inside, but if you’re the jealous or controlling type, leave this one alone.

Cancer

The Plus: Sensitive, nurturing, his heart is on his sleeve.
The Minus: Too needy, sometime clingy, shuts down completely when hurt.
Beware: Fire and Air Signs might find themselves suffocating and needing air.
The Solution: Aries, you want to go out and buy a new dress today but he wants to stay home and cuddle. Easy answer: tell him you want to cuddle too…with his credit card.

Leo

The Plus: Dynamic, confident, ready to take on the world!
The Minus: Get ready to accept best supporting actress.
Beware: He spends more time in the mirror than you do.
The Solution: Be a Leo yourself.

Virgo

The Plus: This is a man who you will never have to tell to pick his socks up off the floor.
The Minus: This is a man who you will never have to tell to pick his socks up off the floor.
Beware: How many times does he have to tell you that that he likes his condiments kept on the bottom rack of the refrigerator in alphabetical order?
The Solution: Have a house cleaner on retainer for before he comes home.

Libra

The Plus: He represents balance, fairness, and loves being in a relationship.
The Minus: May be wishy-washy, can’t make up his mind.
Beware: There are no bewares. Libras get along with everyone… sometimes that’s the problem.
The Solution: If you are waiting for a proposal, and this man is still trying to make up his mind after a few years, move on.

Scorpio

The Plus: Very deep, one of the most powerful signs in the zodiac.
The Minus: Overpowering, controlling, can be jealous if insecure.
Beware: If you need to break up, enter a Witness Protection Program first.
The Solution: Tell all your friends you want new dishes for your birthday, because you’ll need them.

Sagittarius

The Plus: Loves to learn, loves to travel.
The Minus: May intellectualize everything.
Beware: Cancers, when you ask him for a hug, you may be handed a book on the “Art of Hugging” instead.
The Solution: Give him his freedom, and he will always return to you.

Capricorn

The Plus: Great business sense, wants to impress you with his success.
The Minus: May try to run the relationship like a Fortune 500 company.
Beware: You may find yourself surrounded with beautiful gifts, but in an empty house with text messages every night saying, “I have to work late again, sorry.”
The Solution: There is vulnerability here, you just have to search for it.

Aquarius

The Plus: Great in groups, has a ton of friends, sometimes brilliant.
The Minus: Can be cold when thinking too much and can be so brilliant he’s stupid.
Beware: Who cares that he got a perfect score on his SATs in college—how hard is it to remember an anniversary?
The Solution: Have your anniversary and birthday tattooed onto his forehead.

Pisces

The Plus: Spiritual, accepting, understanding and often profound.
The Minus: Needs to use a pendulum to decide on Chinese or Italian for dinner.
Beware: Capricorns, you want to discuss stock options while he’s trying to meditate.
The Solution: Tie a ham to his leg to keep him from levitating out of your life.

Of course, if you find someone whose sign you shouldn’t get along with, but you’re still falling in love anyway, ignore all the above and dive in!
