According to new data from women-directed dating app Bumble, more than 1 million Canadians have added information on their Zodiac sign to user profilers over the last six months – and, perhaps surprisingly to some, the majority of those people are men. “We’re finding that men are coming to understand that astrology can be a great tool to connect with people especially during lockdown in a time where conversations may have been limited,” says the brand’s in-house astrologer, Amelia Quint.

“I always encourage people to look at other people’s zodiac signs, but to keep an open mind and judge based on their own experiences. Daters can look for someone who actually has the sign, or it can be someone who embodies those traits.”

With this in mind, Quint says the best pairings for each star sign are: Aries and Libra (making the first move, confident, opposites attract), Taurus and Scorpio (loyalty, intensity, depth, sensuality, passion), Gemini and Sagittarius (intellect, adventure, exploring, curiosity), Cancer and Capricorn (classic, tradition, serious, long-term), Leo and Aquarius (social, glamorous, relaxed, playful, rebellious) and Virgo and Pisces (being of service, kindness, balancing data with imagination).

“Pairings are not set in stone,” Quint adds. “It is a complex web of interlocking features that doesn’t have limits so don’t let this put you off.” Below are some date ideas broken down by astrology sign for when you do make a match.

The Best Date Ideas For Each Zodiac Sign
