Astrology has been written off as pseudoscience for decades, and yet here we are—where asking someone their sign is practically a first-date formality. Whether you think the stars are guiding your love life or just giving you a convenient excuse for bad behavior, people are clearly paying attention.

Sex and wellness brand We-Vibe surveyed 1,000 people to find out how astrology actually plays out in dating—not just compatibility posts and aesthetic moodboards, but actual behavior. The results cover everything from ghosting and Googling to first-date sex and faking orgasms, broken down by sign.

Some findings are exactly what you’d expect. Others are harder to explain.

Aries leads the study in one very on-brand category: ghosting. A total of 42.4% of Aries respondents admitted to disappearing on someone without explanation, the highest rate of any sign. For a sign defined by impulse and zero patience for loose ends, it’s not a difficult pattern to decode. Once an Aries is done, they’re done. No conversation needed. 

Taurus is the most likely sign to Google a date before meeting them, with 25.6% of respondents copping to a pre-date search. They’re a sign that prizes security and hates surprises, so a little preliminary research is just due diligence. Consider your LinkedIn already reviewed.
