The Time of Year That is The Best For You Romantically, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

It may not always be easy to know when to look for love connections—but astrology can help!

It turns out that your birth chart can give some helpful insight into which times of the year you may find more luck flirting and keeping things relaxed or taking your connection to the next level. The secret? Look at your 5th and 7th Houses.

Your 5th House is all about Creativity and Pleasure. It is often an area of life associated with flirtatious exchanges and sparks flying. You usually feel more confident putting yourself out there and having a little fun, making it ideal to consider if you want a short-term fling.

If you are hoping for something more official, your 7th House of Partnerships can shed some light on the time of year when you may feel more confident in asking someone out or taking other significant steps in your relationships.

Of course, you don’t need to wait for these seasons to show up to find love, and you shouldn’t reject a possibility just because it’s not the “right” season. Sometimes, these houses can indicate the zodiac signs or placements you may gravitate towards for these types of connections as well!

Check out your Rising sign below (Sun as well!) to see which times of the year are best for you romantically!
