Just remember, Cancers may seem like they have a tough exterior that’s impossible to break through, but in reality, they are sensitive softies.

Gift: If you know a Leo, you know they love to be the center of attention. What better way to satisfy their need to be the main focus than super shiny, eye-blinding jewelry? A necklace for her with her name or initial, and for him a blingy watch or chain. Ruled by the Sun, the center of our solar system, Leos exude authority and are born entertainers. Take them to a party where they will thrive meeting new people and own the room with their jokes and undeniably vivacious personality.

Most likable trait: Idealism

Gift: Scorpios are very distrusting, so writing a heartfelt love letter to reassure them of your feelings for them will make anyone under this emotional sign cry with happiness.

Ruled by Pluto, the ancient god of the netherworld and death (areas of human existence in which a person confronts mysteries of the universe), people under this sign are complex and intense.

Let them unload and listen to them, it takes some time to strip away layers of secrecy from Capricorns.

A unique-looking pair of sunglasses would fit into their daily style to shade everyone around them while still looking boujee as hell.
