From romantic books to rom-com movies, the enemies-to-lovers romance remains a timeless way for two characters to fall in love. It’s hard not to look away from the page or screen when characters who absolutely despised each other finally admit they caught feelings. Newer shows like Bridgerton have perfected this trope, especially in the love story of Kate and Anthony. But enemies-to-lovers has been a thing that’s drawn our attention and pulled our heartstrings for centuries. Jane Austen created Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice in the late 1700s, and that eventually led to the hand-flex of the early 2000s that lives rent-free in our heads.

It’s safe to say the enemies-to-lovers trope will be around for years to come, but what about in real life? If you’ve ever had someone who absolutely irritated you but you secretly had feelings for, you might be one of these zodiac signs below. Read on to find out what signs are most likely to have an enemies-to-lovers romance:

Aries

We know that Aries are bold fire signs, and that applies to work, play, and relationships. Aries do not shy away from conflict and therefore tend to challenge friends, co-workers, and even strangers to friendly debate. Aries signs are also incredibly brave, ready for adventure, and unafraid of letting their desire to win known. If Aries signs are in your corner, they can be amazing cheerleaders but will also tell you exactly what they’re thinking.

Why Aries are most likely to have an enemies-to-lovers romance

Aries love to engage in debate and banter, so they’re typically more drawn to people who challenge them intellectually. In this way, Aries does best with a partner who pushes them to be their best self. In an enemies-to-lovers romance with an Aries, chances are the two people involved are polar opposites. Aries signs feel drawn to people they feel a spark with—even if that spark initially seems like an annoyance.

How Aries signs can thrive in an enemies-to-lovers romance

Picture, for a moment, Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl. Stylish, scheming, probably in a limo going to a lavish party. Chuck and Blair were constantly challenging each other’s worldview and intentions as they schemed to be at the top of the social pyramid. In the end, it was this bond over wanting to be the best that brought them together. Aries can thrive in an enemies-to-lovers romance by really listening to their partner and hearing their point of view. Aries signs are often focused on their own goals, so the best way to grow in an enemies-to-lovers relationship is by learning to take on the world together.

Virgo

As an Earth sign, Virgos are grounded and decisive. They are often the person who always had their homework done on time in school or took on the most complicated projects at work. They excel at these intellectual challenges by staying focused, practical, and organized. Virgos love to problem-solve, and this comes up in their romantic relationships as well—they’re always up for a challenge.

Why Virgos are most likely to have an enemies-to-lovers romance

Typically, Virgos have a specific way they like to go about their life and everything is planned. Anyone who disrupts this plan makes Virgos wary at first, but can also make for a welcome break from their routine. Because Virgos are practical, they’re slow to fall in love, needing time and space to create trust. This is the core tenet of most enemies-to-lovers romances, which never happen quickly.

How Virgos can thrive in an enemies-to-lovers romance

To be successful in an enemies-to-lovers romance, Virgos will have to learn to allow their plans to be flexible. Letting go of a plan is hard for Virgos, but when they do, it makes for an epic story. One of my favorite fictional enemies-to-lovers romances is Elena and Damon from The Vampire Diaries. They were drawn to each other since the first episode but didn’t share the same core values or goals, putting them on opposite sides of every conflict. While they didn’t plan to fall for each other, and in fact tried to avoid it, their presence in each other’s lives eventually helped both of them learn that changing our plans can actually help us be better.

Libra

Libras are Air signs that love being social butterflies. They know how to work a room and how to make everyone in it feel seen. They’re quick to jump into romance and just as quick to fall out of it. Their constant quest for symmetry and balance in their lives and the people around them makes it hard for them to settle into a routine, but when they do, it’s pretty magical.

Why Libras are most likely to have an enemies-to-lovers romance

Being the social butterflies that they are, Libras are constantly meeting new people. When seeking the balance that they typically desire, some people who disrupt that balance will annoy them but also intrigue them romantically. It might even become their (slightly misguided) quest to try to change that person, which will likely become their core enemies-to-lovers conflict.

How Libras can thrive in an enemies-to-lovers romance

When I think of a Libra in an enemies-to-lovers situationship, I think of Mr. Darcy. Darcy is set in his ways and wants balance to be restored in his life and the lives of his friends at all times. Elizabeth Bennet is ahead of her time, challenges the status quo, and absolutely has no time to be a social butterfly because she’s too busy reading. If you’re a Libra in this scenario, it’s time to let the scales of your life tip a little bit. Letting someone in is going to set things off balance for a while, but that doesn’t mean they can’t eventually be restored in a better, more triumphant way.
