The Age You’ll Have Your Most Transformative Relationship, According To Your Zodiac Sign

Aries

As much as you’d like to think that nothing can get to you, that’s just not true. Your very first relationship will turn your world around with how much it affects how you see yourself. All future relationships will be measured against it. For this reason, your most transformative relationship will happen at around 16.

Taurus

It’ll be a massive heartbreak that’ll transform how you feel about love. You’re a romantic at heart, but this breakup will have you questioning everything. It’ll take until your late 30s, when you’re comfortable and happy. That’s when a sudden heartbreak stings the most.

Gemini

You don’t want to be transformed–at least not at first. You’d prefer your relationships to just stay fun and silly, not serious and life-changing. But as you get older, you’ll start to realize just how much your heart was needing a love that changes you. Around 32, you’ll find someone who makes you want to settle down.

Cancer

Unlike other signs in the zodiac, it feels like you transform after every big relationship. Each breakup feels like the end of the world. You learn so much from each person you date. But the most transformative? That’ll be in your 40s when you thought you were done having your whole world flipped upside down.

Leo

Most of your dating life will be spent with people who are more invested in the relationship than you are. It’s easy not to feel too attached that way. But your most transformative relationship, around 28, will occur when those roles are reversed and suddenly you’re the one who can’t live without the other.

Virgo

You’re not always willing to date people when you feel like they’re too much “work.” After all, you do like to have total control over your life. Around 25, your most transformative relationship will be with someone you’re finally willing to give space to–the one that might not be as put-together but you wouldn’t want them any other way.

Libra

Your serial monogamy is fun and all, but it keeps you from dwelling on a relationship long enough for you to learn something from it. It won’t be until your mid-30s when you hit a dry spell that you’ll have a chance to reflect on your most recent relationship. You might even learn that time by yourself is the best move going forward.

Scorpio

It takes lowering your guard to have a truly transformative relationship, and that’s difficult for you. As soon as you let down your walls, even just a little bit, you’ll open yourself up for something big. Around 36, you’ll be willing to make that kind of move. Hopefully letting your guard down will transform you for the better, and not the worse.

Sagittarius

You’re more the type of person to help transform others than the other way around. It’s your magnetic personality and adventurous nature that draws people in. If you have a truly transformative relationship, it’ll be later in life when you’re finally ready to settle down–like in your early 40s.

Capricorn

You don’t have time for big life-changing relationships. They’d mess with the plans. But when you hit your early 30s, you’ll finally be taken off guard for something real and monumental. Just make sure to keep yourself open or you won’t be as transformed as you could be.

Aquarius

Your biggest heartbreak–and most transformative relationship–will happen later. Like much later, in your 50s or 60s. You’ll lose the love of your life and suddenly understand why everyone makes such a big fuss about romance. Hopefully you’ll be able to recover.

Pisces

Your most transformative relationship is the one that will take you completely by surprise. You won’t see it coming, but your heart will become so full when it finally finds you. While it could happen any time, your big relationship moment will likely happen around 34.
