Hello! 😊 Today I invite you to join me on a journey full of practical advice and simple tools so you can achieve a fulfilling and healthy romantic relationship. If you’re someone who wants to build a true and lasting connection, here are the keys I’ve discovered while battling doubts, frustrations, and joys, both in my practice and through the wonderful map of astrology.

I’m Patricia Alegsa, psychologist and astrologer. After accompanying many people on journeys of self-discovery and relationships, I know that a happy couple is not a matter of luck. It all depends on your willingness to learn, communicate, and grow alongside that special person. Are you ready to discover how the stars can influence you and how you can overcome everyday challenges? Let’s get started!


What does a couple need to be happy?



Almost everyone asks me what makes a relationship healthy. The answer may seem simple (love, right?), but in reality it’s quite personal. Did you know that not everyone has a healthy relationship model to look up to? That’s why we need to learn from different sources and experiences.

Here are some tips, proven in my practice and by analyzing relationships of different zodiac signs:


  • Communication is the foundation of everything. Learn to talk about what you feel without fear. Here’s a super useful resource: 11 ways to better express and deal with your feelings and emotions 😉

  • Respect and set boundaries. Agree with your partner on what’s acceptable and what’s not, and always reserve some space for yourself.

  • Don’t forget to have fun together. Going for a walk, watching movies, or dancing in the living room can be the spark you need.




Where does all this come from?



These tips come from research (Harvey and Omarzu, Gottman Institute) and also from my experience with patients of all signs. Don’t forget: if you suffer abuse, manipulation, violence, or isolation, seek help immediately. You are not alone.

And if you want to learn more about unconscious mistakes you might be making, I recommend reading: “5 Unintentional Ways You Harm Your Relationships.”

Remember: you can improve your relationships in a thousand ways—nobody is perfect! Take what resonates most with you and start practicing.


8 Keys to Healthy Relationships



1. Show interest 💬
Ask your partner how they feel and make plans together. Genuine interest is the foundation. In my practice, a Leo patient used to ask her partner: “How’s your project going?” instead of just “What did you do today?”—small changes, big difference!

2. Acceptance and respect 💖
No one is perfect. Speak well of your partner even when they’re not present. In a group talk, I suggested attendees practice “social compliments.” It works.

3. Positive outlook 🌈
A mistake doesn’t define anyone. Value the good things and don’t focus only on the negative. Still, don’t ignore what bothers you: express it without attacking.

4. Meet basic needs
Seek support, affection, and companionship. Take stock: do you feel cared for in your relationship? Do you care for your partner too?

5. Prioritize positive interactions 😉
More kind words than criticism. A “thank you for listening to me today” is worth gold. A Gemini patient told me how his relationship took off just by increasing the “good mornings” and “good nights.” Try it!

6. Solve problems
Look for a solution, not someone to blame. If it’s too complicated, seek professional help. Sometimes the magic is in couples therapy or at least a cup of tea and a willingness to listen.

7. Break and repair
Every relationship has disagreements. The important thing is to repair quickly. A sincere apology, a conversation without reproaches, and a desire to hug afterwards work wonders. Don’t put off apologizing until tomorrow!

8. Reciprocity
You must give and receive. If only one person makes an effort, soon exhaustion will appear. Are both of you rowing in the same direction?


Quick Tips to Improve Your Relationship




  • Speak honestly: Say what you feel and need.

  • Respect and validate: Give your partner the space they deserve.

  • Commit: Don’t look for shortcuts. Invest time and love.

  • Trust and let yourself be trusted: Without real trust there’s no future.

  • Give personal space: Love is not confinement.

  • Support each other always: ...hand in hand through good times and bad.

  • Share hobbies: From a TV series to cooking classes.

  • Be patient: Yes, sometimes you have to wait and try again.

  • Express yourself with simple gestures: An “I love you” written on the mirror works wonders.

Communication: Your Best Ally



Let me tell you about an Aries patient 🔥: she was always fighting with her partner—both as impulsive as runaway trains. We worked on expressing her emotions honestly and listening without interrupting. Over time, Aries noticed she could calm the relationship just by changing the way she spoke. They went from daily arguments to reconciliation hugs!

Do you see the power of honest communication? If you don’t express what you feel, soon everything ends in misunderstandings and resentment. No matter your sign, approach dialogue and listen to yourself and your partner.


Mutual Commitment: The Backbone of Love



I remember a Taurus patient 🐂 with a solid relationship but always anxious about feeling unstable. We worked on the importance of giving in and balancing needs without losing her essence. The secret? Lots of talking and looking for creative solutions together. She learned that commitment isn’t sacrifice—it’s negotiation and respect.

If you want a strong relationship, seek balance between your needs and those of your partner. Commitment means building together, not giving up your identity.

  • I am free, but I want a serious relationship. Should I do it?

    Good evening! The decision to enter into a relationship is something that should be taken with care and caution. First of all, it is important to consider the reasons why you want a relationship and whether it is a healthy reason. For example, if you want a relationship to feel fulfilled, then that is a healthy reason.

    Secondly, find someone with whom you feel compatible and enjoyable combined with exactly what you are looking for. I give two step as a base, of course there are many other elements that affect a relationship, e.g. communication, trust, loyalty and compatibility.

    My advice is to look at the reasons why you want a relationship and if it is healthy, find someone you feel compatible with and give it time.

  • What is happening to me to have someone who loves me for who I am?

    Dear Taurus,

    First, you must remember that true love comes when you're not actively seeking it. It's important to be open and available to welcome love into your life. Try to focus on personal development and activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. When you are happy and content with your life, you attract positive energies that can draw love into your life.

    It is also important to be patient and take your time in finding a relationship. When you meet someone new, take the time to really get to know them and see if you are compatible in a deeper rather than superficial way.

    Remember to be yourself all the time and don't try to change yourself for others or to attract a certain person. True love comes naturally when there is a genuine connection between two people.

    Finally, keep in mind that love comes in many different forms - it doesn't necessarily have to be just romantic. It can be a strong self-love or the friendship of a close person who loves you exactly as you are.

    I hope these tips help you. Be patient and remember that love always comes at the right time.

    With love,
    Alegsa

  • How do I know if there is a deeper connection or chemistry between me and a person?

    It's a good and important question to consider when you're in a relationship or trying to build a new one. There are many factors that can indicate a deeper connection or chemistry between two people, and I'd like to share some of them with you.

    First of all, pay attention to the way you feel around the person. If you feel attracted to them in a deeper way than just physical attraction, it could be a sign that you have a stronger connection. If you also feel comfortable and open around the person and feel that they listen to you and respect your thoughts and feelings, this could also indicate a stronger connection.

    You can also look at your shared interests and values. If you share similar interests or have the same outlook on life, this can contribute to a deeper connection. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to have everything in common, but if your core values align, it can help build a stronger connection.

    Finally, you can look at the communication between you. If you're able to speak honestly and openly with each other without fear of judgement or criticism, it could indicate a deeper connection. Being able to share your innermost thoughts and feelings with someone is an important part of building a strong relationship.

    So, all in all, if you feel attracted to the person in a deeper way than just physical attraction, if you have shared interests and values, and if you can communicate openly and honestly with each other, it could indicate a stronger connection or chemistry between you.

  • Why am I best at and have the easiest time feeling sexually connected to a person, but I don't have the deeper connection with it?

    It's normal to have a strong sexual attraction to someone, but it can be harder to build a deeper relationship. This is often because sexual attraction is based on physical and chemical factors, while deeper relationships require time and effort to develop.

    One possible reason for your experience could be that you are focusing on the physical side of relationships and perhaps not prioritising the other aspects as much. It can be helpful to reflect on your past experiences with relationships and try to identify patterns in your actions and decisions.

    While it can be tempting to let sexual attraction drive your decisions, it can be beneficial to take the time to really get to know the other person first. Try to build a friendship and work on communication between the two of you. This will help you get to know each other better and create a stronger foundation for a deeper relationship.

    I hope this answer was helpful to you. If you have any more questions or would like further advice, please feel free to get back to me anytime.

  • What is a possible reason why it can be difficult to build a deeper relationship?

    Building a deeper relationship can be difficult for many different reasons. One possible reason could be that you tend to protect yourself and your feelings more than necessary. You may have experienced trauma or disappointment in past relationships that have made it difficult for you to trust others and let go of control.

    Another possible reason could be that you tend to be very focused on your work or career, making it difficult to find the time and energy to invest in a relationship.

    Whatever the reason, I would recommend taking time to reflect on your own feelings and needs. Also, try to communicate openly with potential partners about your concerns and fears. This can help build trust and create a stronger connection.

    Remember, building a deeper relationship takes time and patience. Be patient with yourself and choose your relationships carefully. Focus on quality over quantity when it comes to your social life.

    I hope this helps!

  • Is it harder to find a new relationship after being together with my husband for 40 years, is that why I can't?

    Finding a new relationship after being with your husband of 40 years can be a challenge. It's perfectly normal to feel insecure, nervous or even scared at the thought of finding a new partner at this point in your life.

    But that doesn't necessarily mean it's impossible. On the contrary, starting a new journey and meeting new people can be an exciting and rewarding experience. It can also allow you to learn more about yourself and your needs in a relationship.

    Keep in mind that it's important to give yourself time to get over your previous relationship and grieve the loss of it. Allow yourself to process your feelings before jumping into something new.

    When you're ready to start dating again, don't just try online dating, but also try social events like parties or events where you can meet new people. Be open to new experiences and opportunities.

    Most importantly, trust yourself and trust your intuition when it comes to choosing a partner. You'll probably meet some people who aren't right for you along the way, but stick to what you're looking for and don't let fear stop you from trying again.

    I hope this helps!
