Each sign's personality
♈︎ Aries
You are the first thunder of early spring: you move first and think on the way. While others hesitate, you have already lit the first lamp. Your warmth arrives quickly and honestly, and you have little patience for detours.
Love: When you like someone, you say so, and you love out loud. You need a partner who can keep pace and who can also get you to pause now and then.
♋︎ Cancer
You are a lamp that stays lit all night, always remembering who gets cold and who comes home late. You feel things deeply and keep the people you love close. You may seem soft, but no one protects their own more fiercely.
Love: You give a deep sense of safety and hope to get the same back. Home is the center of your world.
