Cancer, Taurus and Leo are the security-conscious and home-focused signs. They don’t so much want a soul mate as a someone to help set up house, produce a family and give stability. For Leo this also includes status and an admiring audience.
巨蟹座、金牛座和狮子座是注重安全感、家庭观念重的星座。与灵魂伴侣相比,他们更想要一个能帮他们建立家庭、繁衍后代并对他们死心塌地的人。对狮子座来说,对方还要有地位并钦佩自己。
The two most likely to desperately need another half are Libra and Scorpio, though for not the same reasons. Libra is known as “the relationship sign”, not because it’s driven by matters of the heart. It’s an Air sign10, fairly detached, and never feels comfortable without another half to make it feel whole. Scorpio on the other hand is intensely emotional and really needs an equally passionate partner to merge with. Therein lies their bliss.
两个极度需要另一半的星座是天秤座和天蝎座,不过他们的缘由不尽相同。天秤座是有名的“伴侣星座”,但这不是因为他们对另一半的需求源于内心,而是因为它是风象星座,他们超凡脱俗,而且如果没有另一半让他们觉得完整的话,他们始终感觉不自在。而天蝎座是一个情感强烈的星座,他们真的需要对等的激情才能达到水乳交融—这才是他们幸福的根本。
