4 Zodiac Signs That Should Marry Thrill-Seekers

Due to the deep, dark mysteries that are encoded in the stars that spackle the nighttime sky like an endless network of Christmas lights strung over our heads, some zodiac signs are born cautious, while others are daredevils. Some play it safe, while others take risks. Some are prudent, while others are reckless.

Since opposites attract and relationships thrive on balance, those who find themselves at either end of the cautious/reckless spectrum would be wise to seek out someone from the other end so they can rescue one another and move together toward a happy middle. A thrill-seeker can prevent an overly cautious person from becoming outright boring, whereas a thoughtful and discreet person can safeguard a daredevil from spinning out too far into the danger zone.

Here are the four zodiac signs who, due to their natural caginess and tendency to play it safe, might want seek balance in the arms of a thrill-seeker. The first three are Earth signs.

If you’re one of the following signs who naturally play it safe and want to spice up your love life by marrying a hell-raiser, you should probably seek out fire signs such as Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo.

1. Capricorn

As an Earth sign who is ruled by Saturn, you are grounded, disciplined, pragmatic, responsible, reliable, and safety-minded. But after a while, it becomes hard to distinguish between safety and inertia. Just like boulders that are rooted firmly in the ground tend to gather moss, when you play it too safe, life starts to feel stale and moldy after a while. Sooner or later, you’re going to need someone with a wild gleam in their eye to come along and shake things up. You need someone who’s going to light a candle, take you by the hand, and march you deep into the woods late at night.

2. Taurus

As the most infamously stubborn star sign, the Bull tends to get mired down in routines and habits and rituals. You find solace in familiarity. You rarely like to venture out of your comfort zone and are the type who eats at the same restaurants, goes to the same place for vacation, listens to the same music, and watches the same movies over and over again. But this is why you need a matador in your life. You need a dashing stranger to enter the arena and wave around a red cape. You need someone to lure you, to entice you, to charm you out of your routine. Just be careful not to get too excited, because Bulls rarely outlast matadors. Find a rhythm with your matador and dance together with them into your twilight years.

3. Virgo

You are the zodiac’s arch-perfectionist: analytical, methodical, and meticulous. You pay tremendous attention to detail, overthink things to the point of insomnia, and suffer a grave fear of making mistakes. But, just like the Virgin that is your namesake, sooner or later you’re going to crave being touched for the very first time. Find someone who’s a little sloppier than you are, a wee bit more carefree, far more spontaneous, and who isn’t afraid to get a little dirty or screw up a little bit in the name of an unforgettably good time. Find someone who can loosen you up—but whom you are also able to straighten out. You need each other.

4. Scorpio

Although you are extremely sensual and emotional—instead of being a water sign, you should really be represented by all of the bodily fluids combined—you also have a reputation for being “mysterious.” But that’s mostly because you are extremely guarded due to your deeply suspicious nature. You are not so much “intriguing” as you are afraid to open up. You need someone to stampede into your life on a big, muscular stallion, sweep you off your feet, and lead you galloping into the sunset as you both laugh freely, uncontrollably, and completely unafraid.
