Aries
He represents them.
Aries always have to protect themselves from the world, always prepare for the worst so they never get caught. When they see you taking their side in public, they have a vested interest in their mind, and you draw a line in the sand for their benefit, they will be eternally grateful. It is rare that anyone helps, because they give up “I can” vibe just by breathing. But knowing that someone is in your corner, uninvited, will unlock a level of trust and loyalty unlike any other.
Taurus
Show them the receipts.
Taurus doesn’t invest in anything but provenance, so you have to put it into your element and let them see where you’re coming from. Do you want them to know that you are focused on your work? Invite them to that networking event you saw on LinkedIn. A good friend? Tell them to your best friends who can give the most accurate testimony. How family and relationship oriented are you? Tell them to your parents. Tauruses know that you can get any knock off the street, but quality pieces must come straight from the source.
Gemini
Arrive on time.
Geminis want you to show them that they matter. Incorporating it into their busy schedule doesn’t just happen without thinking, they have to actively choose it over all the things on their to-do list. So if you screw up at the last minute or Mosey 20 minutes after you agreed to meet somewhere, it shows them that it wasn’t worth the effort. But when you’re already waiting for them at the movies with popcorn or sitting at a restaurant with their favorite drink, they know you’re someone they can depend on.
Cancer
You have to ask for it.
A Cancer will not hold an open casting call, so if you want to do an interview to be their closest reference, you will have to ask for it directly. They are used to being independent, dealing with their problems and feelings alone, so if you want to be the shoulder they lean on, you’ll have to pay for a very large billboard that says, “Hello, this is shoulder. It is especially for you, Cancer, that you depend on it.” It may take them a second to catch on, but when they see that your initiative and patience is genuine, they will accept what is offered.
Leo
He treats others well.
Leo knows that personality has a way of spilling over into every area of a person’s life. So they don’t go into business with someone who cheats on their spouse, don’t start a relationship with someone who constantly abandons friends, and who won’t share secrets and big gossip in their social circle. If you want to earn their trust, you will have to show honesty. In the way you talk to others and in the way you use wisdom, you also give others the benefit of the doubt. It’s not about never having a bad word to say, which is a red flag in and of itself, it’s about never crossing the line to intentionally hurt someone.
Virgo
You follow their rules.
See the perfectly straight line of shoes by the door? Then take yours off when you enter a Virgo home. Have they told you about their busy schedule lately? Don’t text too late or too early. Are they the proud parent of a fur baby? Say hi to their dog and don’t just ignore them like a neanderthal. Take the cues that their clear and structured way of communicating leaves you. Once they see you respect them, their needs, and their interests, they will see you as trustworthy.
Libra
Bring it back.
The quickest way to gain a Libra’s trust is to entrust something of yours to them. Maybe you open a personal story for them, ask for their help in updating your resume, or give them a set of keys to your apartment so they can water your plants while you’re on vacation. Once they see that you consider them a close, reliable person they will begin to see you in the same way. They will know that you owe them and they can be counted on when they need someone to confide in, ask for advice, someone to lend a hand.
Scorpio
Time and place.
Scorpio needs to see you as a gentle and patient person. As a person who will not force our hand before we are ready or get tired and leave because satisfaction did not come quickly. You just need to be there. Calm and consistent. Being aware of their mood swings and expressions, being aware of their emotional state and their needs. Once you express the right amount of interest, not too much or too little, they will allow themselves to trust that you are there for the right reasons.
Sagittarius
You make them feel special.
Sagittarius wants to be recognized for who they are, not for the attention-seeking behavior they do to break the ice. They want to be close to them in their quiet moments, to be sought out for their minds and hearts. Once they feel that you are truly interested in them as a person, within themselves, they will open an encyclopedia of their interests and experiences to you.
Capricorn
We look at their qualities.
Capricorn is already loyal, dedicated, determined, and driven. So it’s up to you to prove that you can match their level of loyalty. Do you stick around no matter how easy or hard things are? Are you actively showing how important the relationship is to you? Have you overcome any obstacles or roadblocks with them? Do you have an end goal in mind for them? Friendship or romance for life? Capricorn wants a solid plan for your relationships with other people, and it needs to be considered. Sort out the details and you’ll be in business.
Aquarius
Have your own opinion.
Aquarius doesn’t trust anyone who doesn’t have their own beliefs or moral compass. They want to see that you can be your own philosopher, not just rehash points from your favorite news or podcast. They want to know that you’re not afraid to tackle moral gray areas or take a deep look at highly controversial topics. Once they’ve made sure you’re thoughtful and confident enough in yourself to step into hot water without burning anyone in your wake, they’ll know you can be counted on.
Pisces
A vocabulary of emotions.
Facts are good, but when push comes to shove, most conflicts between people are about the experience of accountability and how it makes each person feel. Pisces will trust you if you can clearly describe your experience, especially as it relates to them. If you can casually tell them what they did for you, they will know that you value the relationship so you don’t let disagreements tear them apart. And the next time they feel the same way, they will feel free to come to you in the same way.
