3 Zodiac Signs Most Likely To Initiate The "Defining The Relationship" Convo

by Laura Moses

In both life and love, our zodiac signs affect our instincts, desires, and behaviors. Some signs love confrontation, some love the spotlight, and some just want everyone to relax and get along. Part of transitioning from casual dating to actually being in a relationship is having the convo that defines this. So naturally, there are specific zodiac signs most likely to define the relationship, or DTR.

This could mean that some signs boldly launch into the conversation of "what we are," or it could mean that other signs might not have the guts to initiate the chat, even though they're ready and waiting for it to happen. Certain signs, like Libra and Gemini, almost relish in the drama of an undefined romantic affair, while others, like Sagittarius and Capricorn, simply don't have time for that drama. Other signs, like Scorpio and Leo, are almost annoyed that their partners would even have to ask if they're all in — after all, they're giving you their precious time, aren't they? If you're seeking to understand how you'd approach DTR or curious about how your current flame is going to handle it, looking to the zodiac can give you a little insight into how that conversation might go down.

Taurus (April 20 To May 20)

Stocksy/lumina

Taurus is organized, steadfast, and loves boundaries. They are both intellectual and deeply emotional, so if they catch feelings, they are eager to understand and establish parameters to the relationship. Taurus is loyal, trustworthy, and consistent, so they really thrive within a relationship where they feel safe. That's why they're both open to commitment but also confident enough to be the one to bring up the issue. Taurus likes everything to be in order and tied with a perfectly symmetrical bow, including their relationships.

Cancer (June 21 To July 21)

Stocksy/aila

Cancer is sensitive, emotional, and truly built for commitment. Once they feel safe enough to let someone inside their carefully constructed shell, they're in. But because Cancer has big feelings and is protective of themselves and those they love, they're not one to bring up the subject of DTR. But Cancer doesn't want to be in a relationship that isn't meaningful, in fact the idea of dating around makes Cancer go, "Ugh, hard pass." So DTR is a necessary step for Cancer when it comes to dating.

Pisces (Feb. 18 To March 19)

Pisces is romantic, intuitive, and generous, and they will truly give their all to make their partner happy and the relationship work. This can sometimes lead to Pisces being taken advantage of in love, but with the right partner Pisces can be appreciated for their selfless heart. Since Pisces is fully attuned to the needs of their partner, they'll seek commitment naturally. They'll bring up DTR, they'll want to DTR, and they'll stay faithful and present in the relationship. This sign loves to be part of a couple, and won't let too much time pass before they make sure their partner wants the same thing, too.

Of course, each person is different and affected by their life experiences but our zodiac signs truly influence our approaches to life's challenges and changes. So when it comes to navigating the terms of your relationship with your new love, whether you're the one bringing it up or hoping your partner will, looking to the stars can give you a little help!
