Ever heard of the Five Love Languages? The Five Love Languages were developed by Gary Chapman and are a good guideline for how you and your loved one can best feel loved, adored and cared for.
This is a game-changer when it comes to relationships, because if you don’t speak the right language to each other, you’ll just end up with misunderstanding after misunderstanding.
The 5 love languages
What’s interesting is that we often to show the love language we have most crave to our partner. Therein lies a clue as to what keeps our love clock ticking smoothly. So, with this in mind, here is the breakdown of the five love languages:
Giving gifts
This is a fairly standard example. If your love language is gifts, then it’s good if your partner is constantly showering you with things, big or small, to let you know he or she is thinking of you. Don’t confuse this with expensive gifts; a beautiful flower will do just fine!
Verbal confirmation
This Love Language is all about saying it! Dropping the “L Bomb” and telling them how much they love you – often – will definitely get your engines running! Letters, texts and social media posts count too!
Services
Acts of service as a love language include doing chores for you, such as washing the dishes, helping you maintain your car, making the bed, or doing administrative tasks that you don’t have time for. When your loved one does this and more for you, you feel absolutely cherished!
Physical touch
Many of us have this love language. Hugged, kissed, cuddled, massaged or otherwise physically shown love is what it’s all about for you! You don’t mind those public displays of affection and you will enjoy holding hands and hugging in public.
Quality time
If your love language is quality time, your loved one should spend time with you and do things you enjoy. And if you both enjoy it, so much the better! If you take a day to be with you, alone, without any distractions, you will feel deeply cared for.
Your love language by zodiac sign
Now you might be a little confused about which of these love languages are yours or your partner’s. That’s why we’ve broken it down for you, zodiac sign by zodiac sign, to help you find the perfect match and know what your love language is:
Aries loves language
Aries is an action-oriented sign, so you like to show your love openly and honestly! It’s all or nothing with you, and sometimes it can feel like you’re in love one day and gone the next! That said, when you’re really in love, you go all out, and the love language you value most is probably a combination of physical touch and quality time — maybe even a dash of verbal affirmation.
As long as your loved one pays you attention, you are happy. If they ignore you, they better watch out because you’ll be chasing them and making sure they know never to do that. That again.
Taurus love language
Did you know that your zodiac sign is ruled by the planet Venus, Taurus? And did you know that Venus is the planet of love? So Love Languages should be something that comes naturally to you, but your favorite and very best is usually Gifts. You just love being spoiled by your loved one with tangible things.
That’s why you usually do this right in front of your own loved one, hoping they’ll get the hint. You’ll also love Physical Touch because you’re the sensitive type – there’s nothing you love more than a good cuddle!
Gemini Love Language
Air signs are intellectual types. And so love for you is best expressed in the mind. So verbal affirmation is what gets your love engine going, and you love it when your partner tells you how much he cares about you, how good you look and that he never wants to be without you again.
You’ll also fall hard for anyone who sends you clever, flirty texts, and if you’re in a long-term relationship with someone, you never want this side of the relationship to die, Gemini. Better yet, writing a good old romantic letter is guaranteed to make you weak at the knees.
Love language for cancer
You have to be one of the sweetest, most loving, and most sentimental signs when it comes to relationships, Cancer. You know how to make your partner feel cared for and supported, but do you know the best way to feel loved? For you, it’s probably a combination of physical touch (you like to be held) and gifts.
Not because you are materialistic, but because you love the memory that is attached to something. When you receive a gift, it reminds you of you and your loved one that day and how special it felt together, even if it was a random pebble from the ocean on a day when you both went for a walk by the sea.
Leo Love Language
The truth is Leo, which you could probably nod your head to all the love languages mentioned above! You just loved to be loved, period. It doesn’t really matter how your honey shows it as long as you are showered with constant devotion.
But if you had to choose, it would probably be Gifts, followed by Quality Time, and then perhaps Verbal Affirmation as a close third. You love being spoiled with flashy things, but you also love it when your sweetheart takes the time to be with you, and only you – while telling you how wonderful you are!
Virgo Love Language
This one’s pretty simple for you Virgo – you love it when your partner does Acts of Service for you. It makes you weak at the knees when they offer to take out the trash, help renew your driver’s license, or take you to the doctor. Mowing the lawn for you while you make them breakfast is your idea of absolute heaven.
There’s nothing like a sweetheart who actively shows his or her care by making a concerted effort to lift a burden from your shoulders. You also don’t mind verbal affirmation, and you quite like it when your loved one says sweet things to you – in private, of course.
Libra Love Language
Besides Taurus, you are another sign ruled by the planet Venus, Libra, and therefore you know how to love and be loved! It’s just so natural to you and you should never have a problem letting your loved one know that you care. But how do you like to be loved? Well, as an air sign you love verbal affirmation.
When your sweetheart whispers sweet nothings into your ears, you practically melt into a puddle of love! That said, Quality Time is also important for you because you can do fun things with your partner one on one.
Scorpio Love Language
You are one of the most mysterious signs out there Scorpio, but at the same time you are an open book to the ones you love and care about. You’re actually a real teddy bear, despite your scary reputation, and when you love, you love hard! Physical Touch will probably be the best for you, as you are a sign that values physical passion and connection.
You can’t just get into a platonic relationship with lukewarm chemistry; you will never feel loved that way. So make sure your honey touches you – often – in all kinds of imaginative and wild ways!
Sagittarius Love Language
If there was a Love Language called Freedom and Space, it would be yours, Sagittarius! But since there isn’t one yet, you’re pretty happy that Physical Touch is high on your list. After all, you are a passionate sign and you enjoy the fiery side of a love relationship!
Although Touch is high on your list, you Also like Quality Time, but only if you do really crazy, adventurous things together, like traveling or bungee jumping. It’s not about cuddling on the couch and watching you – no, it’s all about sexing the bull by the horns and living life to the fullest with your sweetheart!
Capricorn Love Language
Although you tend to take a more reserved attitude towards love and like to play the long game, once you commit and walk that path, you are an extremely passionate, sensual and loving Capricorn.
You love tradition, and that’s why it feels good to buy a gift to show your love – whether it’s a stylish bouquet of flowers or taken to a dinner party and paid for. You have expensive taste, so it is important that your loved one buys you quality gifts. They don’t have to do it often, but when they do, it has to be the best!
Aquarius love language
Like Sagittarius, you feel most loved when you have the space and freedom to be yourself, Aquarius. You’re not really the sensitive type, and you don’t really care about gifts either. What you will probably like is verbal affirmation, but not too weak or it will be awkward.
A well-chosen word here and there to show love will create the warm feeling inside you, and that’s all you need. Quality Time also feels good when you do things that inspire you both and make you want to grow as people. But again: that can’t be the case at When you spend a lot of time together, or when you get up, you feel suffocated.
Pisces love language

You’ll especially like Acts of Service, where your loved one takes care of all the practical details of life for you so you don’t have to.
That’s bliss, in your books Pisces. You’ll also love poetry (verbal affirmation) and quality time doing magical things together. And of course Physical Touch is one of your best, because you love to cuddle. It’s safe to say that your love language is always changing!
