Long-distance relationships require a huge amount of commitment and sacrifice and are definitely not for the faint of heart. Many of them fail because one or more partner isn’t willing or able to put in the necessary work or money to make them successful, like scheduling video chats or booking trips to see each other regularly.
You probably already know that, for better or worse, your zodiac sign has a lot to do with your love life. It can reveal whether you’re more prone to casual or serious relationships, how likely it is that you’ll remain loyal, and how romantic you are.
Long-distance relationships work best when there is a great deal of trust, open communication, planning, and when each partner has their own independent social life. Using Astrology.com to discover the traits associated with each sign coupled with the things that make long-distance relationships successful, we determined the zodiac signs that have the best chance of surviving the distance. Of course any sign is able to make it work if they try hard enough, but this is just for fun. Astrology fans read on:
Geminis (March 21 to April 19) are great at communicating.
The best way to keep your long-distance relationship, or any relationship for that matter, healthy is to maintain an open line of communication. You won’t be able to see or talk to your partner as regularly as you would if you were living in the same house, and that makes it an absolute must that you are both texting, video chatting, calling, sending carrier pigeons, whatever you need to do to make sure you both stay in tune with each other’s lives as much as possible.
Geminis have the whole communication thing down pat. Sometimes even oversharing, they really love giving and receiving information. They’ll listen as you detail your day, and they’ll tell you everything that’s been going on with them so you never feel like you’ve missed anything.
Virgos (August 23 to September 22) are loyal and honest.
Trust is a big factor in the success of a long-distance relationship, and you need to be able to fully trust your partner even when you don’t always know exactly what they’re doing. One way to do that is to choose a partner who is effortlessly loyal and always honest, like a Virgo.
Virgos are known to be picky, and that goes for their romantic choices as well. Never one to jump into things without analyzing all aspects, a Virgo has likely spent a long time thinking about whether or not a person is right for them. And once they’ve made the choice, they are devoted to the end. They can lean towards jealousy at times, but being open and honest should help calm that.
Capricorns (December 22 to January 19) stay level-headed during arguments.
The meaning and intention of words can be lost via text or email and this, along with the tension of being apart, can lead to some pretty big arguments you may not have had in-person. Whether they’re real problems or meaningless squabbles, it can be hard to reach a fair compromise over the phone.
Luckily, Capricorn will be able to remain practical and level-headed during both kinds of arguments and possibly help to keep them from going too far. They have a determination to succeed, so they won’t let a relationship go so quickly without putting in all the work needed to fix the problem.
