Planning A Romantic Date? Here's What To Do, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

P.S. If you know your date's big three or birth chart, be sure to check their sun, moon, and/or rising signs, as well as Venus sign, which influence how we prefer to give and receive love.

Aries is easily the most athletic and active sign of the zodiac, so they would have no problem with a date that keeps them on their feet. Think: checking out the new rock climbing center nearest you, a bike pedaling tour of downtown, or a friendly game of pickleball. Plus, for fit and fun-loving Aries, their cutest workout clothes are their best clothes anyway.

As lovers of luxury, Taureans appreciate the finer things in life. And that means if you really want to wow them on a date, you'll need to pull out all the stops. Wear your best outfit, take them to the best restaurant, and really play up the romance. As a sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, your Taurus date won't settle for anything less.

If you've got a date lined up with a Gemini, prepare to have some great conversation. These folks definitely have the gift of gab and place high importance on sharing a mental and intellectual connection with their love interests. That said, opt for a date that combines fun and conversation, like going to the arcade, playing mini-golf, or crushing it at trivia night.

For watery Cancers, they tend to tread lightly in matters of love, especially at first. Nailing the first date is essential, so consider that these folks place high importance on intimacy and emotional safety. A cozy, classic date-like dinner and a movie is right up their alley, but they're also sentimental, so if you can find a niche, once-only option like a book signing, a special museum exhibit, or their favorite band's show, that's even better.

Leos love to be the life of the party, so they'll love you if you give them a chance to be. Whether you take them out on the town to show them off, or bring them to your friend's party so they can meet your closest circle, your Leo date will be touched that you want everyone to see you're together. It means a lot to them!

Like Gemini, Virgo is ruled by Mercury, so they're another sign that really values a mental and intellectual connection. You might bring them to a museum exhibit or speaker where you can both learn something. Or, for a chance to really get to know each other, bring them to your favorite coffeehouse and then walk around a historic part of your city. Don't forget to ask lots of questions!

As a social and trendy air sign ruled by Venus, the planet of pleasure and beauty, no one loves love quite like a Libra. They definitely like to go out on the town, and better yet if they're with someone whose sense of fashion is as good as theirs. Bring them somewhere public and classy, like the trendiest new restaurant, or see some live music. Just remember to dress to impress for these folks.

There's nothing too dark for a Scorpio love interest—they are the sign that rules death and rebirth, after all. As such, they'd probably be excited to check out a local haunted attraction near you. If that's too much, you might opt for seeing a scary movie at the theatre (or bonus points for the drive-in!), visiting a history museum, or sneaking around abandoned places near you.

If there's anything Sagittarius is known for, it's being adventurous. They're the most spontaneous sign in the zodiac, after all, as well as the most philosophical. So if you want to woo them on a date, you better make it interesting! Dinner and a movie won't do for these free spirits—but they wouldn't argue with a random road trip, booking a hotel on a whim, or even taking a long hike.

When it comes to winning a Capricorn's heart, know that they tend to be all business, no frills. While other signs might not be impressed by the simple proposition of drinks, coffee, or dinner, Capricorn is all too relieved to have an uncomplicated date to plan for. They'll be more focused on sussing out whether you're up to their standards, anyway, so just focus on letting your ambitious and successful side shine.

If Capricorn wants a simple, no-frills date, that might as well be the opposite of what Aquarius wants. These quirky and ahead-of-their-time folks would love to check out the latest fringe hangout in town, a new, out-of-this-world art exhibit, or even a social justice group's meeting or protest. They are the social humanitarians of the zodiac, after all.

For dreamy and ethereal Pisces, take them somewhere they can be their true, unbridled self. Since they're a water sign as well, you might opt for somewhere like the beach, or a river bank. These folks are romantic and whimsical, and nothing says whimsy, like professing your feelings for each other while laying in the grass with a babbling brook nearby.

Someone's sign isn't a guarantee that they'll be wooed be one specific date, but it's a good place to start if you need a little inspiration. But of course, no matter the date, what really counts is being true to yourself and having fun with it.
