4 zodiac signs that look for a parental figure in their partner

In relationships, they seek not just love, but something greater. They need a partner who will become a protector, mentor, and support. Like a parent in childhood.

Representatives of these zodiac signs are especially prone to such relationships. And each has their own reasons, notes astrologer zoomboola.com.

Cancer: wants to be pampered

Cancers remember childhood as the happiest time. Mom cooked favorite meals, dad protected from all troubles, and home was the safest place on earth. Now they're looking for the same thing in relationships.

Cancer falls for those who know how to care. Who'll make chicken soup when you're sick. Who'll listen to all the negativity after a rough day. Who'll create a cozy atmosphere at home. They don't need passionate romances – they need comfort and understanding. Cancer is ready to give all their tenderness to someone who becomes their personal sunshine.

Pisces: dreamer seeks navigator

Pisces live in their own world. It's beautiful there, but impractical. Reality scares them – too many sharp edges and rigid rules. So they look for someone who'll help them figure it out.

Partner holding hands — partner's hand on the other's shoulder, as a symbol of protection and confidence — Pisces need someone who'll take on the "mundane stuff"

Pisces need a navigator partner. Someone who'll make decisions while they're floating in the clouds. Who'll handle documents, plans, money. In return, Pisces are ready to give an ocean of love and creativity. They don't want to control – it's important for them to trust, to find someone who'll protect their fragile inner world from harsh reality.

Virgo: looking for someone to say "you're doing great"

Virgos spend their whole lives trying to be perfect. They work themselves to the bone, worry about every little thing, blame themselves for any mistakes. But inside lives a little child who just wants to hear: "You're good enough as you are."

In a partner, Virgo seeks a wise mentor. Someone who'll stop them when they corner themselves with perfectionism again. Who'll make important decisions while they analyze every option endlessly. Virgo is ready to be the perfect wife and mother, but they need someone who'll be proud of them. Someone who'll be both their support and their main critic.

Capricorn: ambitious child

Capricorns grow up early. Already in school they're thinking about careers, in college – about the future. But behind this seriousness hides a child who's tired of carrying responsibility for everything.

Capricorn needs a mentor partner. Someone with more experience, wisdom, life knowledge. Who'll offer advice in tough moments and support during times of weakness. Capricorn is ready to build an empire for two, but it's important for them to know – there's someone nearby who understands them. Who sees beyond the ambitions to a living person with ordinary fears and doubts.

Looking for a parent in a partner isn't shameful. It's a normal human need for protection and understanding. The main thing is finding balance. So relationships don't turn into an "adult-child" game, but remain equal and healthy.
