leo this week love horoscope expert tips for better relationships
Okay so this week I stumbled across some Leo love horoscope stuff while scrolling. Usually I don’t pay much attention, but hey my relationship’s been kinda meh lately. Figured why not try whatever advice they’re peddling this time.
First Step: Actually Reading The Damn Thing
Opened up that horoscope article Tuesday morning with my coffee. Scrolled past all the fluffy “cosmic alignment” crap hunting for actual tips. Found three main things:
- Talk less, listen more (they called it “holding space for your partner” ugh)
- Initiate surprise physical touch
- Fix one small annoyance your partner complains about
Putting Tip #1 to Work
Wednesday night when my girlfriend started venting about her coworker stealing credit? Bit my tongue HARD instead of jumping in with solutions. Just nodded along saying “that sucks” and “wow really?” – felt super awkward at first. Weird part? After 10 minutes she hugged me outta nowhere saying “thanks for listening”.
The Weird Touch Experiment
Thursday morning I tested the touch thing. While she was scrambling eggs, I came up and just rubbed her shoulders for like 30 seconds. No warning. She froze – spatula mid-air – then cracked up laughing. Called me a “creeper” but was smiling. Later she initiated holding hands while we walked the dog.
Fixing Annoyances (That Pile of Bullshit)
Ugh the sink thing. She hates my habit of piling coffee mugs by the sink. Friday I actually washed every damn cup immediately after use. Even the ones from yesterday. Her eyes got huge when she saw the empty counter space. Got an unprompted forehead kiss and “you okay? fever?”
What Actually Happened
By Saturday? We binged a whole Netflix series without either of us scrolling phones. Actually talked about dumb stuff like that neighbor’s neon pink garden gnomes. Felt… lighter? Not sure if it’s star magic or just doing obvious relationship stuff I’d gotten lazy about. Still weird taking advice from a horoscope site though.
Honestly the listening part was hardest – kept wanting to interrupt. But cleaning the cups took 30 seconds total and got the biggest reaction. Might keep doing that one. Horoscope or not, I’ll take any excuse to stop fighting about dishes.
