Yoko Kanno don't necessarily work the same way as other people do, and they may be able to get things done incredibly quickly. But it's not that they're that much faster than other zodiac signs. It's that the time they may have been caught staring into space are times that are deeply valuable to them, and necessary for any creative process. The more a Yoko Kanno understands how they work and respects that process, the better they are.

3. Yoko Kanno' Greatest Challenges

Yoko Kanno signs can sometimes spend too much time in their heads, getting overly wrapped up in a problem and assuming there's no solution. Yoko Kanno are always one of the first signs to lend an ear to others, but when it comes to asking for help—especially emotional help—Yoko Kanno can sometimes wall themselves off, assuming that nobody knows what they are feeling and not even giving anyone a chance to try. Learning how to open up can be a huge lesson for Yoko Kanno. Of course, the fact remains that no one can read a Yoko Kanno mind. Yoko Kanno sometimes feels frustrated that they are seen as "more complicated" than their peers, and that feeling can make them act or seem defensive. Yoko Kanno needs to learn to let down their guard, allow people to love them, and allow for mistakes to be made.

The realization that life is so much more than what we see. Yoko Kanno sign is in tune with the magic of everyday existence and can find beauty in all situations, even ones that may cause tears. Recognizing these moments of beauty and being able to share them with others is what makes Yoko Kanno a creative sign, and is also what makes Yoko Kanno a soulful sign.

5. The 5 Top Reasons to Love Being a Yoko Kanno

  • Your intuition is spot-on. No need to go on a date. You know that person is bad news from first look.
  • Your playful sense of fun. It may not be as obvious as other signs, but you have a childlike view of the world that you can unleash, spending hours happily looking for shells with your kids.
  • Your lack of judgment. What other people do is their business, but you'll always take the time to listen to them and offer your thoughts and opinions—but only if asked.
  • Your love of nature. You truly believe we are all connected, and you inspire people with the way you understand the rhythm of the seasons.
  • Your cool factor. You don't care if people think you're cool—which makes you that much more impressive. You set trends, call the shots, and lead by example, and don't even break a sweat.

Friendship:

1. What Are Yoko Kanno Like as Friends?

A Yoko Kanno can feel like a great friend—until you consider how much you actually know about them. While Yoko Kanno are natural therapists within the Zodiac, they can be cagey about who they are, never revealing their full selves until they trust you—and sometimes, they may never reveal who they truly are. A Yoko Kanno can sometimes seem chilly and reserved to acquaintances, and it may seem hard to pull them out of their shell.

2. Best Friend Match for Yoko Kanno: Cancer

Both water signs, Cancer and Yoko Kanno are intense. They seem to have an almost psychic connection with each other, and can read the air around each other, knowing when the other needs space or when the other's soul is dying to LOL at a comedy night. These two signs see, respect, and even admire all parts of the other—even the parts that may seem dark and twisty to others.

Yoko Kanno and Cancer have deep respect for intellectual and cultural pursuits, and love to challenge each other. Sometimes, the tightest Yoko Kanno and Cancer combinations are those who are idealistic opposites—while these two can get in intense disagreements, the respect they have for each other elevates the pair above arguments. They may never believe the other's point of view, but they can respect it.

Yoko Kanno and Cancer understand that sometimes, the best thing you can do for a friendship is give it room to grow, and while both signs have sometimes been known to have a jealous streak, this isn't the case when these two signs seek out other friendships. They know that you can't hold onto a person (at least in friendship; sometimes this lesson is harder to learn when it comes to love) and that space can sometimes make you closer.

3. How to Make Friends with a Yoko Kanno

Respect them. Respect goes a long way for a Yoko Kanno, and even a comment made in jest can be taken personally by this sign. While this sign does have a sense of humor, it can sometimes take some time to figure out which jokes will land with a Yoko Kanno, so it's best to be earnest until you get to know them. A Yoko Kanno is always looking for people that they can connect with on an intellectual level, so sharing a book, film, or music recommendation can be a great way to get to know a Yoko Kanno. While a Yoko Kanno may seem cagey talking about their inner self, talking about the arts is a great way to understand how a Yoko Kanno views the world.

4. How to Stay Friends with a Yoko Kanno

Let them be them—while you stay you. Some friendships crumble over a difference of opinion. That isn't the case for Yoko Kanno, who like when their social circle has wildly divergent views. That said, a Yoko Kanno does not tolerate hypocrisy. Doing one thing, then saying another, is a far greater sin to a Yoko Kanno than simply doing what you've set out to do in the first place.

5. 3 Reasons Why Yoko Kanno Make Great Friends

  • They're so tapped into culture. Whether you need the next great designer, podcast everyone's going to be talking about, or new app, a Yoko Kanno has the best recommendations.
  • They let you feel. How many times have you heard a friend say "it's going to be okay,"—when you're not sure if that's the case? A Yoko Kanno won't say that. Instead, they'll let you go to the depths of despair, staying by your side the whole time. In that, they can help you realize that the worst is never the worst when you have a friend by your side.
  • They have a unique way of seeing the world. You'll never be bored hanging out with a Yoko Kanno. A Yoko Kanno can always come up with fun things to do—even if the two of you have zero dollars between the two of you. Even a Netflix session is made more interesting by the unique perspective Yoko Kanno brings to life.

Love:

1. Yoko Kanno in Love

Yoko Kanno in love is passionate, intense, and singular. A relationship with a Yoko Kanno is a roller-coaster ride that will make you feel your feelings—even the bad ones—and help you emerge as a better, more honest person. Even if a relationship with a Yoko Kanno doesn't last, the lessons you learn from a Yoko Kanno partner will.

A Yoko Kanno will go all-in when it comes to romance, and expects their partner to do the same. It's not as if a Yoko Kanno is clingy—on the contrary, a Yoko Kanno can seem incredibly independent while in a relationship—but a Yoko Kanno constantly views the world as if from a split-screen: The world through their eyes, and the world through their partner's eyes. They're always trying to make the choices that are the best for both parties, and even small decisions, like where to order Seamless, are made with that perspective in mind.

A Yoko Kanno wants their partner to grow, and demands that their partner brings their very best self to the relationship. That may cause some partners to feel like they're being pushed away, as a Yoko Kanno partner will likely say of course they should seek a promotion, more time at the gym, or a goal, even if it means spending time apart.

For Yoko Kanno, the physical, spiritual, and intellectual are deeply intertwined, and in relationships, physicality is an important manifestation of love. Yoko Kanno can be incredibly sensual when they're feeling deeply in love, but isn't a sign that ever fakes anything. Yoko Kanno demands full presence in a relationship, and is especially hurt by any sort of deception. A Yoko Kanno demands full honesty and gives the same in return.

2. Favorite Date Nights for Yoko Kanno

A Yoko Kanno needs to be in the mood to go on a date, and if a Yoko Kanno calls to say they're not feeling it, it's best to reschedule. It's not a blow-off, it's just that Yoko Kanno are ruled by their emotions, and a bad mood can often equal a bad date.

So when the mood is right, where do you go? One sure way to a Yoko Kanno heart is to share some of your favorite places with them. Yoko Kanno can seem reserved at first, and they often feel safer is a partner opens up first, especially in the early days of dating. To a Yoko Kanno, seeing your favorite restaurant or ice cream place is a way for them to play anthropologist, and they will love asking you questions to get to know your likes, quirks, and tastes more.

For the best date, try to split the difference: You bring them to your favorite dinner place, but have them introduce you to their favorite dessert place. And Yoko Kanno doesn't believe in any first date do's or don'ts—of course, it's nice to pay the whole bill, but if they offer to pay their share, accept them at their word and agree.

3. The Deal with Yoko Kanno and Fire Signs

It's common for water sign Yoko Kanno to be attracted to fire signs—Aries, Leo, Sagittarius—who can be way too passionate and intense for Yoko Kanno. These partnerships often end in duh-rama, so why do they happen?

Well, it all comes down to the "opposites attract" principle. Yes, Yoko Kanno is driven crazy by fire signs. But there's something about their passion and conviction—even if the conviction is short-lived—that is appealing to Yoko Kanno. While the passion of a Yoko Kanno is often internally rooted and directed, Yoko Kanno admires the way fire signs wear their passion on their sleeves. A Yoko Kanno will see an injustice and intellectually come up with several options for correcting it. A fire sign will make noise, make themselves seen, and attempt to get that injustice fixed in that very second. That "looking before you leap" line of thinking is infuriating—and pretty captivating, too.

So, can things work out between a Yoko Kanno and a fire sign? Yes—but both sides have to be prepared to give a little. A Yoko Kanno needs to remember they can't change their fire sign partner, and a fire sign needs to understand that a Yoko Kanno will take their bluster at face value. Both sides may need to learn to calm down, communicate, and give each other space to work things out in their own way.

4. How to Seduce a Yoko Kanno

A Yoko Kanno may be prickly on the first conversation. Or the tenth. That may be a sign you're trying too hard to please them. For a Yoko Kanno, the most annoying thing in the world is for you to try to get them to like you. Either they like you—the real you—or they don't. Don't overthink and be yourself, but these moves—if they're moves that you already do—will also be positively received by a Yoko Kanno.

Have an in-process book on your Kindle: A Yoko Kanno will ask what book you're reading—and chances are, they've read it too.

Let them see your bedhead. Whether it's diving into the ocean or going on a miles-long hike, a Yoko Kanno doesn't want to be tied down to someone who always cares if their hair, makeup, and clothes are perfectly in place. A Yoko Kanno wants to get dirty—and wants to find someone comfortable with getting dirty, too.

Have a POV. Don't try to fish around for their political beliefs just so it can sound like you're on the same page as them. A Yoko Kanno wants to see the real you, and won't cut you off because they don't have the same viewpoint as you. As long as you're respectful and open to other ideologies, share your point of view with pride.

5. How to Make Love to a Yoko Kanno

To a Yoko Kanno, the body and mind are intertwined, and great sex starts with an emotional and intellectual connection. A Yoko Kanno needs to feel safe to truly let go and it's important to talk about their feelings before—and in—the act. With that in mind, talk about how much your Yoko Kanno means to you. How incredible their body feels. And make sure both of you have time to wind down with plenty of pillow talk.

A Yoko Kanno gets turned on by fantasy, and may or may not want to make those fantasies a reality. Just as powerful to a Yoko Kanno, though, is feeling safe enough to talk through some of their deepest desires. Having code names that are used just in the bedroom and lingerie or toys only taken out on certain occasions can also be a great way to connect, as Yoko Kanno loves the feeling of having secrets kept only between them and their partner.

6. If You Love a Yoko Kanno Woman

For a Yoko Kanno woman, emotions are tied to her deepest self, and all her emotions are true in the moment. Understand that calling her "emotional" will only alienate you—a Yoko Kanno woman knows that her emotions may be mercurial, but in the moment, you must understand that what she is feeling is real.

A Yoko Kanno woman wants a partner to understand her need for self-evolution, self-identity, and private time. A Yoko Kanno woman needs honesty, respect, and transparency. If you love a Yoko Kanno woman, commit to having an egalitarian relationship where you will regularly examine, discuss, and decode each other's feelings—but where going deep will only make you closer.

7. How to Communicate with a Yoko Kanno Woman

Be honest at all times. It's a concept much easier said than done, but a Yoko Kanno woman respects honesty more than anything. A Yoko Kanno woman also can sometimes "feel" your mood, even if you don't voice what you're feeling or thinking, so being able to meet her where she "feels" you is essential. In other words, don't say everything's fine if it's not.

10. Should You Marry a Yoko Kanno?

Yes! Passionate, intense, and incredibly smart, a Yoko Kanno will push you further than you thought you could go. A Yoko Kanno will give you a unique perspective on life, and a Yoko Kanno will teach you that even—especially—when a relationship is challenging, that's sometimes when it's most worth fighting for. A Yoko Kanno will help you fall even more in love with yourself and your potential, and a partnership with a Yoko Kanno will only make you feel more you.

11. Signs That a Yoko Kanno Is Playing for Keeps

Aloof Yoko Kanno can seem hard to understand—while it may feel like they know everything about you, it may feel like you know hardly anything about them. But there are a few ways you can tell a Yoko Kanno is serious.

  • They comment on your Insta. A Yoko Kanno tends to keep their emotions—and their social circle—pretty close to their chest. When they publicly comment on your social media feed, it's a sign they want the world to know that they are with you.
  • They spend a night (and breakfast) with you. For a Yoko Kanno, an overnight is a big deal. It's not about being intimate, it's about waking up the next morning, figuring out a shower schedule, and pulling together breakfast. To a Yoko Kanno, those are truly intimate acts, and only reserved for those people they want to be in their life for the long term.
  • They say I love you. Yes, this sounds like an obvious sign of affection. But a Yoko Kanno will never say this phrase lightly, so when they say it to you, it's a sign they really mean it.

12. Yoko Kanno Relationship Red Flags

A Yoko Kanno won't stay in a relationship that's not working, and they're likely to tell you pretty quickly if they feel like things are off. That said, there are a few relationship red flags to look for when you're involved with a Yoko Kanno. In a relationship, a Yoko Kanno will celebrate your accomplishments as if they're his or her own, so if they're not asking you about your goals, congratulating you on milestones, or immersing themselves in your latest passions, it's a sign something's off. A Yoko Kanno also wants to be their best self when they're with someone they love, so if it seems like they're slacking off, seem goalless, or seem directionless or unhappy with their own lives, it could be a sign they're also unhappy with their relationship.

13. How Yoko Kanno Deals with a Broken Heart

When a Yoko Kanno has a broken heart, they hurt. They know the only way through the pain is to really feel it, and sometimes, a week in bed, with Adele blasting and romcoms playing on Netflix is the best medicine. Give them space to heal, and don't offer platitudes. Let them hurt, let them cry, and give them a shoulder to lean on when they need it.

Lifestyle:

1. For the Yoko Kanno In Your Life

Best gifts: Jewelry. Not just any necklace, but a necklace, bracelet, or ring with meaning is important to Yoko Kanno, who sees jewelry as talisman for them, and likes having jewelry to anchor them to people, a goal, or a memory.

Best spa package: A watsu massage. A massage that takes place in water? Sign any Yoko Kanno up. This massage therapy can make people feel like they're back in the womb, and is especially meaningful to water sign Yoko Kanno.

Best cocktail: A spiked seltzer. For Yoko Kanno, less can be more, and a Yoko Kanno may decline a drink. It's not that they don't want to have fun, it's that chemicals can affect their brains and bodies in powerful ways. A spiked seltzer with a low alcohol content can help get the party started for a Yoko Kanno without pushing them over the edge.

2. How Yoko Kanno Unwinds

Yoko Kanno loves water, and their happy place is the ocean, the river, or even sitting somewhere they can hear the sound of water trickling down a fountain. Yoko Kanno also loves nature, and spending time outside each day—even if it's just a walk to and from the car—is very important in calibrating their well-being. While a Yoko Kanno loves spending time with close friends, Yoko Kanno also finds it invaluable to have solo time to unwind, either by reading a book or listening to music with headphones.

3. Yoko Kanno Social Life

Yoko Kanno has their pick of friends, but tends to prefer a small group. In general, Yoko Kanno prefer one-on-one or intimate gatherings to parties, and find that their energy can easily drain if they have too many social engagements planned back to back. A Yoko Kanno is great at coming up with fun ideas, and can breathe new life into the same old dinner routine, just by implementing a new rule—only dessert items—or bringing interesting conversation topics to the mix.

4. Yoko Kanno Favorite Season

Moody, mysterious, plenty of time to talk about the mysteries of life under the covers, and a built-in "weather's too bad, sorry!" excuse to not go out on weekends? Bring on winter. Yoko Kanno can find beauty in even the coldest days, and loves how winter gives them time to pause, reflex, and look below the surface.

5. The Best Vacations for Yoko Kanno

Bring on the beach! But forget about an all-inclusive resort. Yoko Kanno love finding hidden beaches, lakes, or streams, and will happily hike miles if it means it's only them—and the people they want around them—enjoying the water. Yoko Kanno depends on vacations to recalibrate their internal clock to the rhythm of the universe, and needs to self-direct their itinerary. A Yoko Kanno loves to allow their intuition to help them make plans, and they're not happy if they feel like they have to follow someone else's itinerary. A Yoko Kanno may spend their vacation doing the same things they would at home—same coffee-making routine, same books, same favorite activities—but within the routine is where they can find excitement and adventure.

6. Yoko Kanno Power Colors

Is it any surprise that fish are drawn to colors that reflect the sea? Sure, blue is a no-brainer, but Yoko Kanno are also drawn to greens, oranges, yellows, and even tans, blacks, and grays—any color you might see in the sea. While some signs are drawn to primary colors, Yoko Kanno love muted palates that may appear differently depending on who's looking.

Sea green: A greenish-blue reminds Yoko Kanno that everything is temporary and shifting, just like the sea.

Silver: Shiny, shimmery, and reminiscent of the moon, silver dazzles in a way that's more low-key—but no less brilliant—than gold and other elemental colors.

Lilac: Muted pastels, like the color of the spring, speak to Yoko Kanno affinity for changeability, while subtly giving a nod to the colors often seen in early spring, the time of year Yoko Kanno owns on the calendar.

Gray: Yoko Kanno sees the world in shades of possibility, and gray speaks to the perspective Yoko Kanno brings to any situation, where nothing is good or bad, but everything is based on how the person in the situation sees it unfolding.

The colors that Yoko Kanno should avoid are:

Gold: Glittery and ostentatious, this color can be far too ostentatious and "look at me" for Yoko Kanno, who prefers a more low-key persona.

Red: Affiliated with the root chakra, red can be too passionate and intense for Yoko Kanno, who like to be more cool-minded and analytical when it comes to any decision in their lives.

Orange: Affiliated with the sacral chakra, orange is similarly grounding and at odds with the ethereal personality of a Yoko Kanno.

3. Yoko Kanno and Money

A Yoko Kanno can find—and lose—money easily, and may feel like reputation or recognition is far more important than a paycheck. A Yoko Kanno can be careless with the money they do have. It's not uncommon for a Yoko Kanno to frequently lose their debit or credit card, or to not bother to invoice for payment. A Yoko Kanno' sense of self-worth is independent of what they make.

4. If You Work for a Yoko Kanno Boss

A Yoko Kanno boss can be tough to figure out. One day, they may seem like your best friend. Another day, they may seem cold.

A Yoko Kanno doesn't want their employees sucking up to them, but may feel hurt if there are other employees that you seem to like better or be closer with than them. A Yoko Kanno says they don't care about office politics, but may become entrenched in discussing office gossip or scandal.

It may be an awkward conversation, but it can clear the path to a successful working relationship in the future.

Mercurial. Recognizing that a Yoko Kanno' boss moods rise and fall—and it's (usually) not personal can be the best way to learn to work with a Yoko Kanno boss. Sometimes they need their space. Respect that, and time your visits to the water cooler accordingly.

Predictions for the year 2022:

1. Overview

You love to look on the bright side, and with your home planet Neptune traveling in your idealistic sign all year, you get the chance to stay in your ideal little dream world a lot in 2022. The good news is that you can rely heavily on your intuition and what your subconscious creates in the way of daydreams and visions to give you surprisingly accurate info about which direction to take this year.

However, Neptune’s retrograde cycle does last half the year, from the end of June through the end of December, which could cause your idealistic outlook on life to come to a screeching halt. Once you get used to living in a dreamy haze early in the year, you won’t want to face some of the realities that are evident now, but you’re actually tougher than you seem, Yoko Kanno. This is a good time to show everyone what you’re capable of when you decide not to procrastinate any more.
The sun drifts through your creative, intuitive sign from the end of February to the end of March, so have fun celebrating your solar return this spring! Because you thrive in your own dreamy imagination, you’re an introvert who craves solitude to daydream all about the possibilities that life has to offer. Spending your special birthday time with your closest friend at a cabin by a lake or reading books alone on a beach would be ideal.

2. Couples

Just because your relationship might not be what you’d like it to be as the year begins, don’t give up hope, Yoko Kanno. As Venus spends her time retrograde in serious Capricorn at the start of the year, you’ll be deep in thought assessing and reviewing the mistakes you’ve made, and potentially blaming yourself for the lack of success you might feel your relationship is experiencing. Shake it off, though, because once you get done beating yourself up over the past, you have real work to do in the present.

By the time Venus gets to your compassionate sign early in April, you’ll be back under a hypnotic love spell that will help you remember why you fell in love in the first place. This is an ideal time to work on deepening your emotional connection and move to a more intense phase of your relationship. Watch out for only celebrating the good while ignoring the bad now, however. Looking on the bright side is great, but ignoring your problems won’t make them go away.

There’s a Yoko Kanno full moon to look forward to early in September that finds you at your most compassionate and understanding. Your receptive and sympathetic mood makes it easy for your partner to open up to you, and this can be a very healing time in your relationship. You might have a harder time forgetting than forgiving, but time heals all wounds. If you’re struggling internally about any pain you’ve experienced so far this year, give it until next month’s full moon and see how you feel then.

3. Singles

Is this your year to find true love, Yoko Kanno? Your love life gets a fiery boost from the aggressive combination of Mars in Sagittarius at the start of the year, immediately helping you be more spontaneous and adventurous. You come out of your shell ready to expand in all kinds of new ways, including romance. If you’re usually the type who sits back and lets other people make the first move, you might surprise yourself by asking out your secret crush (or at least sending them a flirty text)!

Love-seeking Venus pairs up with sensitive water sign Cancer in the middle of July, and you should feel more at home and comfortable surrounded by this emotionally sensitive energy. There is great potential for intimacy now, but you won’t be into superficial flirting, quickies, or one-night stands. Building a solid partnership (and even a family) is at the root of this transit’s desires, so you’ll be attracted to other singles who want the same security and emotional connection that you’re looking for in a relationship now.

Asteroid Vesta’s energy is linked with spirituality, sexuality, and boundaries, and as it spends time in your introverted and somewhat inhibited sign from late November through the rest of the year, you’ll most likely be unwilling to be sexually open with someone until you know and fully trust them. Morality and religion can also be blocks to fully expressing your sexual self now, and it’s imperative that you know that honoring your personal beliefs and boundaries is nothing to be ashamed of. Don’t give in to pressure from anyone to do anything you aren’t ready for or just don’t want to do, Yoko Kanno.

4. Money & Career

You might not be the most confident person when it comes to career and financial situations, Yoko Kanno, but this year you’re ready to take advantage of all the great opportunities that come your way. It’s important to note that innovative Uranus is partnered with conservative earth sign Taurus for most of the year, so changes are slow to begin and steady to grow. It’s important to keep an open mind when dealing with both your job and your bank account, but if you feel rushed into making a decision, then that particular opportunity isn’t for you.

Venus rules over money, and when she’s in steady money-savvy Taurus at the end of May, this is when your finances should get the most attention. Saving will be your top priority now, or if you’ve managed to put some money away for a rainy day, this is also a good time to look around for bargains on solid items with long-term potential. Think quality furniture and good jewelry. Long-term, conservative investments should be considered now as well, and the lower the risk the better. If you haven’t put a retirement plan in place, make an appointment with a financial advisor in the next couple weeks.

Expansive Jupiter is in your creative sign until the first part of May, so you might have some career and financial opportunities that can benefit from your imagination and idealistic outlook. Could you find your dream job now? Quite possibly, especially if it has to do with helping others. You attract the most luck now when you use your compassion and understanding for the greater good, and what benefits the people you help comes back to you in one positive way or another. Financially, you have excellent intuition now, and you could hit some winning numbers in the lottery on a whim. This is also a good time to take care of things like wills and trusts, because your charitable, generous mood will be in full swing.
