Some zodiac signs tend to be a bit more impulsive than others.

Of course, there’s no way that being born on a specific date determines everything about your personality (or even anything, really), but on the surface, there do seem to be some uncanny traits that each of the star signs share. Suspend your scientific disbelief for a bit and go with me here — you might be surprised at how accurate this list seems. Here’s how each of the signs rank in terms of their impulsiveness in the romance department.

1. Aries: The Impulse Proposer

Aries sometimes treat engagements like they’re impulse buying a chocolate bar at the checkout. One moment of passion and suddenly, they’re down on one knee, probably in the middle of a paintball game. They’re all about that ‘seize the day’ life, even if ‘the day’ involves a lifetime commitment.

2. Taurus: The Slow and Steady Suitor

Taurus approaches engagement with all the speed of a particularly unmotivated sloth. They’ll take their sweet time, weighing up every pro and con until their partner’s practically sprouted grey hairs. But hey, at least when they finally pop the question, you know they mean it.

3. Gemini: The Flip-Flopping Fiancé

Geminis are as consistent with engagements as British weather. One day they’re googling rings, the next they’re swearing off marriage forever. Dating a Gemini is an emotional roller coaster — exciting, but exhausting. Better keep that return policy on the ring, just in case.

4. Cancer: The Cautious Committer

Cancers treat engagement with extreme caution and a lot of sweating. They’ll need to feel more secure than Fort Knox before even thinking about popping the question. Patience is key here, people. A lot of patience.

5. Leo: The Spotlight Seeker

For Leos, it’s not just about the engagement — it’s about the show. Expect flash mobs, fireworks, and possibly a small orchestra. They’re not just saying “Will you marry me?” they’re saying “Will you star in this viral video with me?” I hope you’re camera-ready!

6. Virgo: The Analytical Affianced

Virgos approach engagement with intense scrutiny and precision. They’ve got spreadsheets, pie charts, and a 50-point checklist before they even consider browsing for rings. Romantic? Maybe not. Thorough? Absolutely.

7. Libra: The Romantic Rusher

Libras fall in love with the idea of love faster than you can say “I do”. They’re the ones planning their wedding on the first date. It’s all very sweet until you realise they’ve been engaged three times this year already. Steady on, Romeo!

8. Scorpio: The Passionate Procrastinator

Scorpios are intense about everything, including taking their sweet time to propose. They’ll stare deeply into your soul for years before deciding you’re trustworthy enough to share a Netflix account, let alone a lifetime. But when they do commit, it’s for keeps.

9. Sagittarius: The Adventure-Seeking Asker

For Sagittarians, engagement is just another thrilling escapade. They might propose while skydiving or at the summit of Kilimanjaro. Just hope they don’t lose the ring over the side of a mountain — though that would make for a great story.

10. Capricorn: The Pragmatic Proposer

Capricorns view engagement as a sensible next step in their five-year life plan. They’ve probably got a PowerPoint presentation ready to illustrate the financial benefits of marriage. Not exactly Mills and Boon, but at least you know the mortgage will be paid.

11. Aquarius: The Unconventional Uniter

Aquarians don’t just think outside the box with engagements — they’ve forgotten the box exists. They might propose with a mood ring or suggest getting matching tattoos instead. Traditional? No. Memorable? Absolutely.

12. Pisces: The Dreamy Decision-Maker

Pisces live with one foot in a romantic fantasy, which means they might confuse a particularly vivid daydream for a long-term relationship. They’ll be planning an underwater wedding ceremony before realising they haven’t actually met their soulmate yet. Reality check, please!
