You've just met someone and you're trying to plan a date that they'll love. Maybe their Sun sign can help give some clues! Perfect date ideas by Sun sign: The perfect date for an ARIES: No matter what, nothing sitting still. Something where you're moving, active. They love red, so if you're female, wear a red dress, and if you're male, bring red roses. Make sure you're not in one place for too long. Keep topics and the date light. The perfect date for a TAURUS: Taurus is easy since they love food, so going to a restaurant is just fine. Find out their favorite food/restaurant. Maybe only order off the dessert menu. Pampering them works too, so try the spa. Keep their senses constantly engaged. The perfect date for a GEMINI: You can sit the whole date as long as you're talking the whole date. Bring them somewhere you can show off your intellectual prowess, and then somewhere they can show off theirs. Keep the mental stimulation going. The perfect date for a CANCER: Plan something romantic at home or in a really comfortable setting. Don't put on a lot of pressure and let them ease out of their shell in their time. Mood lighting works well. Keep out of action-packed ideas. The perfect date for a LEO: Leo rules drama - take them to a movie or play. Don't forget your funny bone and make sure there's lots of laughs. Compliment them. Treat them like royalty. Keep them feeling important and the date grand in some way. The perfect date for a VIRGO: Nothing too flashy, over-the-top, romantic, or physical, unless it's to the gym. Make sure the food is nutritious. Virgo is insecure, so don't have a wandering eye. Keep trying to find what unwinds them. The perfect date for a LIBRA: Take them to the hottest, coolest place in town. Libra is social and trendy, so make sure the other people around are in with the in crowd, and you better make sure you look good. Well-groomed and stylish clothes only. Keep from saying anything inappropriate. The perfect date for a SCORPIO: Go somewhere dark and dress sexy. Stare into their eyes intensely and hang onto every word they say. Be mysterious. Leave them wanting more. And no day dates, nights only. Keep the mood intense. The perfect date for a SAGITTARIUS: If you can stand the outdoors, do something outside. Go for a hike, walk on the beach, plan a picnic. Don't do the TMI thing or talk about how much you want babies. Keep yourself at a slight distance so they don't feel like you're trapping them. The perfect date for a CAPRICORN: Something traditional, old-fashioned. The guy picks up the girl, holds open the door, pulls out the chair, stands when she leaves to "powder her nose." Keep the first kiss chaste - no trashiness! The perfect date for an AQUARIUS: Something unconventional, different. Nothing stuffy and no rules. And no fancy clothes. Maybe glow-in-the-dark bowling. A group date could work too. Keep them aware of your future dreams and how involved you are in causes. The perfect date for a PISCES: Pisces is the eternal romantic. Flowers, chocolates, candlelight dinner, soft music. Music's important, it helps Pisces mood. Maybe a jazz club or concert. Keep the date and your tone sweeter than sugar. Suggested Reading: When Venus Meets Mars We all read about how Venus is love, Mars is sex, the Moon is emotional needs, and so on, but they're all about telling you the kinds of traits you should look for in a mate rather than the actual zodiac signs you'll like. So which are the specific signs you’ll prefer? These 3 placements can show the actual signs you like and attract to you. Signs You Like #1: JUPITER
Jupiter is the happy planet, and it shows areas of life we have the easiest (and sometimes luckiest) times with. Your Jupiter sign can also tell you one of the signs you'll like most. This applies not only to Sun sign, but anyone with a personal planet in that sign (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars).
With Rising signs, I've found that you may actually like the opposite sign rising because then their 7th house is in your Jupiter sign, putting Jupiter on the house cusp or in the house. The 7th house rules our relationships. Jupiter in play helps you to genuinely like the other person. You’ll often find Jupiter connections with those you date and you really enjoy being around, but also with best friends, favorite clients, bosses you get along great with, etc. Jupiter just brings out the genuine like. Signs You Like #2: SUN-MOON MIDPOINT
The Sun-Moon midpoint is the exact middle between your Sun and Moon. It shows how we integrate our ego (Sun) with our emotions (Moon), and how we feel most "whole."
So it makes sense we'd be attracted to the sign of our Sun-Moon midpoint, because their qualities are ones we want in our own lives (because their qualities integrate our Sun and Moon). The Sun-Moon midpoint can be a sensitive point, so anyone who triggers it for you can activate the energy. Note that triggering midpoints is not only by conjunction; they’re actually triggered by squares (90 degrees), oppositions (180 degrees), semisquares (105 degrees) and sesquiquadrates (135 degrees). These are all hard aspects, and because midpoints are imaginary, they require some extra heat to be triggered. So, find the placements that conjunct, square, oppose, semisquare, or sesquiquadrate your Sun-Moon midpoint, as you may gravitate to those people. Signs You Like #3: NORTH NODE
Your North Node is one of the Lunar Nodes (the points in the Moon’s orbit where the Moon crosses the ecliptic), and is on an axis with the South Node. The North Node is a spiritual point, showing the attributes you should aspire to integrate into your life to further yourself as a person.
If someone's Sun or other personal planet is in the sign of your North Node, they're pulling you forward in this life, forcing you to grow. If you're not ready, it's an unsettling experience. This is often the case when we’re young and haven’t grown into the North Node yet. If you are ready, they're the best relationships you'll have. No matter what, you can't go into things with someone who hits your North Node lightly. RECAP: Find those who have a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) or Rising/7th house in your Jupiter sign, Sun-Moon midpoint sign, or North Node sign Suggested Reading: The Love Astrology series Read on to see what's in the air for you astrologically with a weekly horoscope for September 25th - October 1st.
