How to Glow-Up Your Love & Dating Life, Based on Your Zodiac Sign originally appeared on Parade.
Are you running into the same problems in all of your relationships? Maybe the situation or person has changed, but the relationship dynamics have stayed the same. According to expert astrologers, each zodiac sign can improve its relationships by identifying unhealthy patterns and habits that hinder each zodiac sign's connections. If you're ready to attract your soulmate, fix an existing troubling connection, and evolve into fulfilling dynamics, read for professional insights.
While there are many ways to use astrology to improve your relationship, you only need to look at one thing in your birth chart–your twelfth house. Your twelfth house speaks to everything you can identify to improve your relationship, because the twelfth house indirectly influences your seventh house. What does this mean in layman's terms?
Your seventh house rules over marriage, partnership, and commitment. The seventh house speaks to the quality of your relationship, from the kind of person you attract to how you approach your relationship. While your seventh house may allude to some problems and issues, you'll actually find the answers you seek in your twelfth house. The twelfth house rules over projection, hidden issues, and hidden talents. It acts as an unconscious energy, because the twelfth house is the blind spot to your seventh house. So, you may accidentally skip the twelfth house when you're using astrology as a tool to improve your relationship. But if you know how your seventh house is indirectly affected by your twelfth house, you can use your twelfth house to improve the underlying issues in your relationship.

Healthy boundaries will make a world of difference, Aries. Despite being independent and strong-willed, you would do anything for someone you love. Against your better judgment, you may disregard how you feel or what you want to keep the peace in your relationship. You need to strike a balance with how much you do for your partner with Pisces ruling your twelfth house. Improving your relationship requires healthy boundaries derived from accountability, self-awareness, and strength. Don't be afraid to set your boundaries. Your partner will understand and respect your boundaries if they truly love you.
Taurus
Confrontation can be useful if done right, Taurus. You might naturally gravitate toward more intense, compelling relationships instead of quiet, seemingly boring ones. The initially exciting vibe can turn extreme, causing you to feel unsure and unstable. You may not know what to say or how to address something, since Aries rules your twelfth house. However, your relationship may not improve until you say something. You won't be perfect at first, but your ability to address underlying problems will get better over time. By proxy, your relationship will improve over time since you and your lover will know what to work on.
Being accommodating and steadfast is the key to your relationship's success, Gemini. As a mutable air sign, you prefer to go with the flow. Your flexibility allows your relationship to ebb and flow. Although you may not mind this easygoing vibe, you may still subconsciously need more consistency with Taurus ruling your twelfth house. A deep desire for steadiness lies underneath your adaptable attitude. Your relationship will vastly improve when you let your partner know you need more from them. Last-minute changes and other inconsistencies won't always work for you. Don't be afraid to ask for more stability to improve your relationship.
NEXT: Each Zodiac Sign's Tarot Card (Minor Arcana), According to a Reader
Don't be afraid to talk it out, Cancer. Typically, you have no problem expressing what's on your heart. Your lunar-ruled personality makes it easy for you to be vulnerable and emotional. However, you may falter in your relationships. Your partner's mature, if stoic, demeanor may deter you from sharing your sentimental nature. However, you cannot pretend that you don't have emotions or hold back from expressing yourself. Since Gemini rules your twelfth house, you will have to learn how to create a safe space for deep conversations. Learning to talk to one another will enhance the quality of your relationship.
Vulnerability will deepen your relationship, Leo. Despite being a passionate fire sign, you may gravitate toward cool, if detached, partners. Your relationship is likely friendly and authentic, but not overly emotional. Although you may initially appreciate this, your Cancer twelfth house suggests you need more depth in your connection. You may not feel like you can truly express yourself if your partner is not giving you much to work with. Set the intention to improve your relationship by allowing yourself to be emotional. Your relationship should be a safe space to be sensitive and empathetic.
OTHER: Which Spirit Animal Walks With You, Based on Zodiac Sign
It's not always about one person in a relationship, Virgo. Given that you're aligned with service, it's understandable if you feel a deep need to serve your partner. Your relationship is your everything. If you could, you'd probably make your relationship your full-time job. Although your desire to constantly help your partner and work on your relationship is admirable, you should refocus your attention on yourself. Your Leo twelfth house implies you need to get comfortable being a little selfish. Remember to fill your cup before refilling your partner's cup. Making yourself a priority will ultimately improve your relationship.
Picking and choosing your battles will lessen the anxiety in your relationship, Libra. Usually, you prefer to keep the peace. But there's something about your relationship that brings out your inner fighter. Whether you're outright confrontational or passive-aggressive, you don't easily back down in your relationship. Some of this may stem from being overly particular, nitpicky, and stressed. Your Virgo twelfth house suggests you can improve your relationship by being more mindful of what you choose to address with your partner. You can maintain your boundaries and standards without making a mountain of a molehill.
FURTHER: What Your Juno Sign Reveals About Soulmates, Love & Commitment
Playing the waiting game will be a losing game, Scorpio. Love takes time, but not this much time. You typically only strike once to ensure you won't miss. Although this is a great strategy for your work life or personal goals, it may not suffice in a relationship. You cannot wait forever for the right time, place, etc. to do something in your relationship. Since Libra rules your twelfth house, you are encouraged to be more confident in your decision-making skills. Don't wait too long, or else you might miss the chance to improve your relationship.
When should you let someone in, Sagittarius? As a carefree fire sign, you're usually upfront about who you are and what you think. But you might accidentally clamp down when you're in a relationship. Maybe you're afraid of scaling your lover away, or you might struggle with vulnerability. Regardless of what it is, your Scorpio twelfth house encourages you to feel empowered when you let someone into your life. Your relationship improves when you aren't afraid and take the time to show your partner the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Having strong feelings can go either way, Capricorn. Your stoicism implies you come across as calm, cool, and collected despite attracting sensitive partners. As your relationship progresses, you may have a deep desire to share your beliefs and hopes. Sagittarius rules your twelfth house, which suggests you need to be in a like-minded relationship. You and your partner should feel the same way about the same things, but you won't know until you let your partner see this side of you. Show how much you care, and watch your relationship improve as you grow closer together.
READ: What Kind of Witch You Are, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Making someone your everything doesn't lead to a healthy relationship, Aquarius. Typically, your independence makes you aloof and detached. However, you tend to fall hard when you get into a relationship. Before you know it, your partner becomes your whole world. As much as you may care for them, your Capricorn twelfth house implies you need structure, or else your whole world will revolve around your relationship. Getting yourself on a semi-structured routine can help you carve out time for yourself while also making time for your relationship. Doing so will enhance your relationship in ways you would have never expected.
Don't read into everything your lover says or does, Pisces. Your empathetic watery energy is highly susceptible to everything around you. The slightest energetic shift can throw your whole mood off. As a result, you might be highly anxious about what your partner thinks, wants, desires, and more. Worrying this much will only cause more long-term stress in your relationship. Your Aquarius twelfth house encourages you to disconnect ever so slightly to help you feel less stressed. Your relationship will greatly improve when you practice detachment to bring your anxiety levels down.

The pilot killed in a small plane crash in Beverly, Massachusetts on Thursday has been identified by his family. Geoffrey Andrews was piloting the plane when it crashed shortly after takeoff Thursday on Sam Fonzo Drive in an industrial park near Beverly Regional Airport. A second man in the plane was injured. He has not been identified. Police said it appears Andrews was attempting to take off when the plane crashed. The FAA said the plane had just left Beverly and was heading to Ticonderoga Municipal Airport, which is about 100 miles north of Albany, New York. "We thank the investigators who we trust will conduct a thorough investigation into what caused this catastrophic loss of life. We also pray for his passenger in the plane and are sending his loved ones strength through this difficult time," said Andrews' family in a statement. His family said Andrews was a staff scientist at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and graduated from Lehigh University and got his doctorate from Purdue University. They said he loved to fly and was working to become a certified flight instructor. Andrews is survived by his wife, Gentry, who is expecting their first child in October. "Beyond his love for flight, Geoffrey was a charismatic, beautiful soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and always had a kind word for others. He was so excited about the upcoming birth of their baby," said his family in a statement.

5K raises money for organization helping to combat homelessness in Los Angeles

Union Rescue Mission hosted their 'Just Help 1' 5K Run/Walk at Griffith Park on Saturday morning. Saturday's event, the 8th annual edition, raises money for individuals and families experiencing homelessness across L.A., organizers said in a media release. 'Participants will run, walk or cheer as every step supports URM's transformational programs, shelters, meals and long-term recovery services for those in need,' URM officials said. KTLA 5's Erin Myers spoke to Union Rescue Mission CEO Mark Hood just as the 5K officially kicked off on Saturday morning. L.A. City Controller: Immigration raid protests cost taxpayers over $30 million 'It's just a great event…it's a way to not only raise awareness, but 86 cents of every dollar that comes into this event goes back to transforming lives, getting people off the street and helping them find their way home,' Hood told KTLA. 'It's such a crisis…there are more homeless people in Los Angeles County than any other county in the United States by far. It's a big problem, but I'm very happy [to say] we are a solution.' According to the 2024 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, the L.A. County homeless population was estimated to be 73,512. The data also indicated that the City of Los Angeles had a homeless population of 45,252. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

My husband has an identical twin. I can't tell them apart over the phone.

I never believed in love at first sight until I met my now-husband. I couldn't recognize him from his identical twin brother over the phone. We ended up having fraternal twins, and I got to experience the twin magic first-hand. The first time I met my husband, I had all the cliché love signs. I felt butterflies in my stomach, and my heart was beating fast. I never believed in love at first sight until I actually fell in love with him the moment I saw him. We didn't even talk then. I just knew this was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. When I told a friend of mine who knows him, she asked me, "Are you sure it's not his twin brother?" When we started dating, when we went out together, people would greet him with his brother's name. He never corrected them. Whenever I called him on their home's landline, I never knew if it was him or his twin brother who answered the phone; they had the exact same voice and even way of speaking. They were famous for pulling pranks, and I was always afraid they'd play one on me. On our wedding day, his twin brother went early to the photographer's studio, and my now-husband hadn't arrived yet. We joked that we could take photos with his twin brother in case my husband didn't arrive in time. Years later, I was pregnant with fraternal or non-identical twins. It was so surreal having twins whose dad was also a twin. I had an emergency C-section and gave birth to my twins early at 35 weeks. When they were in the NICU, the nurses separated them. My son started not to eat; he had an NG-tube, but he wasn't thriving, and his sister was always crying and not sleeping well. One nurse decided to put them together. They held hands, my son started to eat again, and they both were calmer and sleeping better. Knowing that this bond they formed in the womb was continuing after birth made me very emotional. When they were babies, they had their own secret language. My daughter would translate to us what her twin brother wanted or was saying because he had delayed speech. Even now, as tweens, when we're out together, they unintentionally hold hands. It warms my heart to see them grow together, each with their own unique character, yet so close to each other. When they were almost a year old, their uncle came to visit us. It was their first time meeting him since he doesn't live in Canada. They were so confused, and it was hilarious watching them not knowing which one was their dad. Last year, we had sort of a "twins reunion." It included our twins, my husband and his twin brother, and their oldest brother's identical twin girls. It was funny comparing notes and inside jokes and seeing how twins' dynamics are different from ours. Although they're twins, I still have to remind myself that they are also two separate individuals. I learned a long time ago not to compare them to each other, whether in their milestones or academically. I hope they continue to support each other while embracing their individuality. And I can't wait to see what they'll do next. Read the original article on Business Insider
