Very often, we forget to do the little things that count. The very things that we know, in our hearts, shall make us happy in a relationship. We discount the value of these li’l gestures because we forget that love is a verb. We forget that love may have happened to us, unexpectedly but it takes effort to keep it.

If only we learnt that love too, like a magician’s trick, needs more than a wand-flick and a spell, we’d spill the magic everywhere. It takes much more than the feeling to be happy in a relationship, and people who understand that are all the more happier for it! It takes a fine understanding of the needs of your partner to be able to keep them happy. If you have wondered what is the one thing that could keep you happy in a relationship, here’s an accurate breakdown, by zodiac:

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
All you need to be happy in a relationship is to skip the monotony of the mundane. You do not want to sink into a predictable routine or be trapped in the romance rut of wine-and-dine or Netflix-and-pizza-on-the-couch. You consciously seek out scintillating variety in all things in life and you are unwilling to let love be an exception.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Your topmost priority in a relationship is to gain a reassuring sense of comfort and security. You have trouble dealing with uncertainty and cannot handle dubiety, indecision or ambivalence. You need to know that there aren’t any qualms or misgivings, from either end and wish to sustain that plane of steadfast certitude. Loyalty is important to you and you cannot bear the thought of doubts or irresolution creeping into the equation.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
What you need the most in a relationship is for your partner to engage with your mind. You are a sapiosexual being and would like animated conversation that stirs the soul to breathe life into your chemistry. Anything short of ‘food for the soul’ doesn’t sate your being.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You have always been your heart. You need to know that your relationship with your significant other only serves to strengthen the other ties in your life. You strive to always be there for your partner and expect the same from him/her. You wish to both brave the storm and enjoy the sunshine, together.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

What you seek, Leo, is a symbiotic association where your goals, ambitions and dreams are constantly reaffirmed by the other’s encouragement and vice versa. You are not the one to take a lack of understanding for your aspirations lying down. You do not know the word ‘compromise’ when it comes to your raison d’être and you expect your partner to understand this aspect of your personality. Your partner’s presence must bolster your drive to set out and achieve your goals or else little else would matter.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Again, a creature of vivid imagination and deep intellectual curiosity, you wish for your partner to possess the power to stoke your mind and forge an immutable intellectual connection with your inner knowledge-hungry self. Yu aren’t going to settle for anything less than that!
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
What you need the most to be happy in a relationship is an effortless connection that allows you to enjoy your moments of togetherness with your significant other without taking away from the freedom and space you need to have your own social life.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
A magnetic attraction sets off the fireworks for you. However, the undeniably seductive trinity of a deep physical, mental and emotional connection isn’t enough to sustain your relationship, Scorpio. You need more than a connection to build and sustain a bond with another. You need to know that there’s something new and mysterious about your romance that you can unveil each day. The intrigue and the mystery keeps you going.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

What you need is a fun-loving soul, not unlike yourself, to take your hand and walk you through life. However, you expect that this special one know how to whisk you away from your own dream zone and bring you back unto reality, so you can work hand-in-hand to face the challenges life throws at you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
What you seek is a partner who can understand that your dreams and ambitions do not necessarily drive you away from them. You want a relationship in which your partner is understanding and accommodating of your hopes and aspirations, without having to slash from the intimacy and closeness you share with each other. Striking this balance is paramount to you.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Unwavering loyalty and a strong sense of trust is of utmost importance to you. You need to be certain that not only are you sharing yourself with an honest, reliable soul but your heart is in the hands of your best friend!
