How many times have you come across a divination specialist, a tarot lady or absolutely any cosmic creator's posts during scroll time to feel like the reading is just not...hitting? 9 times out of 10, it's got very little to do with their read of your sign's situation, and everything to do with your understanding of your placements. Long story short — you Sun sign is not the (only) key to understanding what's happening and what's coming, and your love life cannot be decoded based just on your rising sign.
Astrologer Kristina Antuna, boils it down to the basics.
Sun
Your Sun describes what you are born to become, the core identity you grow into over time, shaping purpose, vitality, confidence, and the direction your life naturally pushes you toward.

Your Moon represents the emotional part of you that responds to who you are becoming, revealing your needs, instincts, habits, comfort zones, and how you self-soothe when life feels overwhelming.
Mercury
Your Mercury explains how your mind works day to day, what you instinctively think about, how you communicate, what you Google, and even how quickly or slowly you text back.
Venus
Your Venus shows how you give and receive love, your values in relationships, what attracts you, what feels pleasurable, and the love language that makes you feel seen and desired.
