Some zodiac signs really need to hear “I love you” at least 27 times a day or they’ll start spiraling. And as someone who’s been studying astrology for decades, I’m telling you: there’s nothing wrong with craving reassurance. We all have emotional needs. The real question is — are you aware of why you need it?
Now, don’t get it twisted. Just because a sign needs reassurance doesn’t mean they’re weak or insecure. Sometimes, it’s because they love deeply, feel intensely, or have been burned one too many times.
Let’s talk about the 5 zodiac signs that are most likely to overthink that “k.” text, and why they just want to feel safe in love.
1. Cancer
Cancers are the emotional sponges of the zodiac. They feel everything, and if they don’t hear you affirm your love regularly, their minds start playing tricks on them.
Cancers love with their whole soul, but that kind of love comes with vulnerability. They don’t just want reassurance — they need it. It helps calm their inner storm and reminds them they’re not living alone. If you’re dating a Cancer and not big on verbal affection, good luck. You’ll be met with passive-aggressive “are you mad at me?” texts in no time.
2. Pisces
Pisces live in a dreamworld, and that dream includes a partner who constantly showers them with love, attention, and tender check-ins. They romanticize relationships to the point where any silence can feel like rejection.
Their emotions run deep, but they don’t always know how to ground them. That’s why Pisces often fish (pun intended) for compliments and affection. They’re not trying to be needy — they just want to make sure you still care, because in their head, they’re already writing sad poetry about your imagined breakup.
3. Libra
People love to call Libras “charming” and “balanced,” but they forget one crucial truth: Libras are terrified of being alone. They crave harmony in relationships, and reassurance is their way of keeping the peace.
Libras will bend over backward to make you happy, but deep down, they want to know you’d do the same for them. If they sense the vibe is off, expect a flood of “are we okay?” questions. They’ll hide their anxiety behind a smile, but make no mistake — they’re overthinking every little thing you said (or didn’t say).
4. Virgo
You wouldn’t think a practical, grounded Virgo would make this list — but that’s where most people get Virgo wrong. Underneath all that logic is a heart that’s constantly second-guessing its worth.
Virgos are perfectionists, and that spills into their love life. They worry they’re not doing enough or being enough, so they seek validation from the people they trust. If a Virgo asks for reassurance, it’s not because they doubt you — it’s because they’re silently battling their own inner critic. Reassurance gives them the green light to relax and let their guard down.
5. Scorpio
Scorpios won’t always ask for reassurance outright, but they crave it more than anyone. Why? Because their love is all-consuming — and they need to know you’re just as invested as they are.
They’ve been hurt before. Badly. So they test you. They need proof that your love is real, constant, and unwavering. If you’re not giving them that steady stream of emotional security, they’ll assume the worst — and good luck dealing with a suspicious Scorpio. Reassure them early and often, and you’ll get loyalty for life.
