4 Zodiacs Whose Soulmate Doesn’t Believe In Fairy Tales

  • Updated

GEMINI

Gemini’s soulmate doesn’t believe in fairy tales because they know firsthand that life is full of hand work, and not the ‘find the girl who lost the glass slipper’ or ‘clean up after a houseful of seven dwarves’ kind of work. Life is full of pain and suffering that cannot be avoided, and love does not come in some flawless and pristine package. It is the co-creation of two flawed human beings who don’t instantly perfect themselves because they’ve found someone who reciprocates their feelings. Gemini knows about hard work and struggle, which is why they gravitate towards someone who shares this understanding. They’re not looking to sugarcoat anything, just for someone to share the everyday complaints and celebrate the small progresses with. 

VIRGO

Virgo’s soulmate doesn’t believe in fairy tales because the protagonists never have motivations or goals with substance. ‘Walking on land’ and ‘escaping provincial life’ aren’t realistic representations of the yearnings of an adult heart. Real people have bills to pay, jobs to show up for, dreams they’ve left behind or are working relentlessly towards. There’s always a macro and micro level to responsibility that is much more overwhelming than any children’s story will ever illustrate. Virgo is drawn to someone who knows how to manage a to-do list that covers the basics and still reaches for something more. The laundry has to get done, but so does planning for the future. You can never get to where you want to be if you don’t figure out where that is first. 

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius’ soulmate doesn’t believe in fairy tales because not everyone grows up a princess in a castle. Life requires most of us to work hard, in mediocre places we’re not particularly fond of. Visiting a castle is a luxury, an adventure that requires savings, planning, and daring. Most of the things worth experiencing in life aren’t in our backyards, we have to be brave enough to get on a plane and go find them for ourselves. Have to get our hands and feet dirty. Have to read a map or two. Sagittarius feels at home with someone who shares this same world view. Someone who is willing to reach out and grab the things they want out of life instead of letting it pass them by.

CANCER

Cancer’s soulmate doesn’t believe in fairy tales because they’ve kissed more frogs than they have royalty. They know that no one is perfect, no on is going to swoop in and sweep them off of their feet. Real love takes work from both parties. Effort, openness, patience. Love is always the end of the story, but in real life it’s the beginning of a commitment two people need to continuously work at to uphold. Most of the time, that’s where the real plot occurs, where the real life unfolds. Cancer can’t help but be attracted to this pragmatism. They need someone where what you see is what you get. They would rather have honest conversations than sweet nothings whispered in their ears.
