Love:

1. Eriko Kitagawa in Love

Ruled by strict Saturn, Eriko Kitagawa knows, expects, and even relishes the tough parts of relationships. They are in it for the long haul, and know the best relationships have storms. It’s not as if they are fatalistic—but Eriko Kitagawa's love is realistic and they aren’t going to have a rosy view of romance.

That said, Eriko Kitagawas are expansive and generous in love, and adore being wined and dined. They love the formality of early dating, and may be quite strict about following “the rules” of romance—even if those rules are made up. Typically, they may follow gender norms of dating, expecting the man to call first and the man to pay on the first date, but Eriko Kitagawa isn’t strict, and is always willing to consider another path or another way. Eriko Kitagawas can be regimented, and love having a specific night of the week for date night. Eriko Kitagawas thrive on routine, and may love staying at home on weekends, under the covers, with nothing but them and their lover. Eriko Kitagawas love spending time only with their lover, especially in the early stages of a relationship, which can be frustrating to their friends and family.

Eriko Kitagawas are serious monogamists, and although they can be cautious in every other aspect of their lives, they are the sign who is likely to fall deeply in love with someone, and it’s not unusual for a Eriko Kitagawa to get married after only several months of dating. They know their hearts well, and don’t hesitate to lock things down when they know that the relationship is right. And their instincts are on point—loyal Eriko Kitagawas stay in relationships for the long haul. They aren’t afraid of therapy if their relationship needs help, and approach problems as a bump in the road, capable of fixing with honesty, trust, and hard work from both partners.

2. Favorite Date Nights for Eriko Kitagawa

Wine date for two, please. Eriko Kitagawa likes to keep it classic and classy, and expects a first date to dress up and pull out the charm. A Eriko Kitagawa is turned off by lack of plans, and showing up for a date with dirty sneakers and a “I guess we could go here” attitude turns them off.

Eriko Kitagawas love old school glamour, and love going to elegant cocktail bars—bonus if there’s a piano player in the corner. As a Eriko Kitagawa gets more comfortable with their partner, they may prefer to stay at home on date nights. They tend to love cooking, and a well-made meal, a bottle of wine, and a movie can be the perfect night for Eriko Kitagawa. And while Eriko Kitagawa thrive in a routine, it may be helpful for a partner to help bring them out of their shells and shake things up a bit. Eriko Kitagawas are so detail-oriented and on top of every other aspect of their lives that it’s a true treat for them to take the backseat,and allow their partner to do all the planning. Setting up reservations, so all they have to do is show up, is one small action that can make a Eriko Kitagawa feel deeply cared for and cherished.

3. The Deal with Eriko Kitagawa and Fire Signs

It’s common for earth sign Eriko Kitagawa to become downright obsessed with fire signs—the sign they aren’t supposed to go for. So why the attraction, and can it ever work?

Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) speak to Eriko Kitagawa’s deep need for excitement. Eriko Kitagawa is fascinated with the unknown, and wants to tame things that are wild. Eriko Kitagawa sees a fire sign as a challenge, and may want to subdue them to become their perfect partner. Eriko Kitagawa is also entranced by the unpredictability of a fire sign’s approach to life. There is never a dull moment, and this can be pretty enticing for Eriko Kitagawa, who always has their life planned and mapped out for the future. But despite the initial attraction, there are, well, sparks! Fire signs feel stifled by Eriko Kitagawa’s need to know every move; Eriko Kitagawas are driven crazy by the fact that they just can’t seem to know what the fire sign will do next. So, can this match ever work?

In short, yes! The trick is for each sign to give each other space to breathe, space to do their thing, and find compromise in the middle. Caps can be spontaneous, and fire signs can hold a standing Thursday date. Meeting in the middle is a sign of caring.

Both sign pairs also value respect above all else, so if the two signs are too different to be a match, both parties will come to that understanding sooner rather than later. If both can put aside pride and elevate mutual admiration, they may even be able to remain friends long after the romance has faded.

4. How to Seduce a Eriko Kitagawa

Save the big moves for a fire sign. A Eriko Kitagawa wants to see steadiness from a potential partner, and being there when you say you will be goes far in a Eriko Kitagawa’s book to prove your loyalty. They love being wined and dined, but within reason—take them to a five-star restaurant, don’t book a first class ticket to a five star restaurant in another country if you’ve only just met. Be slow and steady, and recognize that they may need space and time to allow you into their lives. Their life is well-crafted and curated long before they met you, and for a Eriko Kitagawa, it’s not that easy to just have you tag along to parties with friends. It takes time for them to allow you into their inner circle and life, and realizing this can be helpful in learning how to hold back. Here, three more ways to seduce a Eriko Kitagawa.

• Know your wine: In general, Eriko Kitagawas aren’t big drinkers, but they do appreciate knowledge of wine. Knowing your labels, or learning different types of wine together, by going to a wine-tasting, can be a huge turn-on to a Cap.
• Build them a chair: Earth sign Caps love DIY, and are obsessed with people who make things with their hands. They appreciate the hard work that goes into craftsmanship, so making something—or offering to fix or repair something in their house—goes a long way.
• Have a life: Success is an aphrodisiac to a Eriko Kitagawa, and they love seeing you working hard and building a successful life. The busier you are, the more impressed they’ll be.

5. How to Make Love to a Eriko Kitagawa

Eriko Kitagawa may have a reputation as being buttoned up, but that isn’t entirely true. Eriko Kitagawas are slow to warm up, and they prefer having an emotional connection to their partners. They love slow burn sex, where flirty texts, plenty of time to shower solo, and a long dinner with plenty of compliments lead up to time in the bedroom together.

Eriko Kitagawa is a generous lover, and expects the favor to be reciprocated. They love having a lover spend hours savoring every inch of their body, and feels like lovemaking is a gift to be savored. They aren’t huge fans of quickie sex, but will do so to keep the connection alive. As earth signs, physicality is very important to Eriko Kitagawas, and regular sex is a key part of their connection to their partner.

Eriko Kitagawa isn’t a huge fan of new toys or positions, and prefers to stick to tried and true. That said, they have a “why not” philosophy, and their curiosity may lead them to trying new things, especially if it’s something their partner wants to try. And while sex is serious to a Eriko Kitagawa, they also appreciate the silly side, and giggling in bed is one of their favorite things. After all, sex is one of the ways a Eriko Kitagawa lets off steam, and they like a no-holds-barred bedroom where emotions of all forms can run rampant.

6. If You Love a Eriko Kitagawa Woman

Be your best self. A Eriko Kitagawa woman loves to see a partner who is continually striving to be the best person they can be, and wants their partner to also push them. If you date a Eriko Kitagawa woman, know she doesn’t “need” you, and when she chooses to spend time with you, she has plenty of other things she could have done. Do not take a Eriko Kitagawa woman’s time for granted! If you love a Eriko Kitagawa woman, it’s important to know she relishes periods of time by herself, even when she is madly in love with you. She needs downtime in order to be her best self. Be aware that she may approach your relationship like a job, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a drag to her—it just means that checklists, performance reviews (aka “state of the union addresses”) and consistent communication are the ways she approaches everything, even relationships. Learning to speak frankly about what could be better in your relationship truly can make it the best it can be.

7. How to Communicate with a Eriko Kitagawa Woman

Be honest and be direct. Eriko Kitagawa women may have a reputation as being unemotional, that’s not the truth, though. Eriko Kitagawa women have a deep wealth and reservoir of emotion, but they tend to work best with logistics and rationality. They want to hear facts, and they may not want a long drawn out period of hashing out emotions. Eriko Kitagawa thrives on compliments, and regular I love you’s are important for Eriko Kitagawa to hear. They also love traditions and small ways for you to show your love. Eriko Kitagawa is so used to taking charge and being in control that they adore when their partner takes that work on the home front. Eriko Kitagawa likes when a home runs smoothly and not being tidy or not cooking dinner when you say you will may be seen as a personal affront by a Eriko Kitagawa.

8. If You Love a Eriko Kitagawa Man

A Eriko Kitagawa man may seem pretty straightforward, but he has a lot of layers—if you’re lucky enough to uncover them. It’s important to learn his love language and coach him on yours—a Eriko Kitagawa man will want to learn, but may need some help knowing how he can support you. For example, a Eriko Kitagawa man is often focused on fixing things. If you complain about an issue at work, he may seem like he isn’t on your side, but he’s really just seeing the issue from a logical point of view and trying to troubleshoot. Letting him know that sometimes you don’t need a “fix,” you just need a shoulder to cry on can be helpful. And let him let you take care of him. A Eriko Kitagawa man wants to be in control and be the provider, and he can be, but drawing a bath, planning a weekend away, or otherwise taking control can be incredibly welcome for a Eriko Kitagawa man. Finally, don’t tell a Eriko Kitagawa man what to do. Should he be working 80 hours a week? Probably not, but nagging does nothing. Far better is to recognize that Caps are sometimes obsessive about projects, but their interest usually fluctuates, and he will soon have 80 hours a week for you.

9. How to Communicate with a Eriko Kitagawa Man

It’s important to be direct with a Eriko Kitagawa man—they won’t pick up on subtlety or passive-aggressive behavior. If you’re unhappy with them, tell them, and they will do their best to fix it. It’s also important to keep the focus on the future—while Cap guys can be sentimental, and love a trip down memory lane and playing the “remember when” game, a Eriko Kitagawa man doesn’t like when old fights are brought back up, and don’t have a lot of patience for grudges. They love working on a project together—always having a goal or project, from running a half marathon together to getting better in the kitchen—can make you both closer.

10. Should You Marry a Eriko Kitagawa?

Yes! Loyal, honest, and committed to family and partnership, a Eriko Kitagawa can help you be your best self, while creating a comfortable home that you both will love. A Eriko Kitagawa loves those closest to them, and may be working incredibly hard—but only because they want to make a comfortable home for their family. A Eriko Kitagawa considers you both a team, and will do anything for you. A Eriko Kitagawa prizes romance, and can create an unbreakable bond for decades to come.

11. Signs That a Eriko Kitagawa Is Playing for Keeps

Eriko Kitagawa may seem aloof, and may play their cards close to their chest. It may take awhile for them to say “I love you,” and a decision to move in together can be made maddening with spreadsheets, bank account statements, and other ephemera to try to justify the choice as an economic one. Here, three signs that a Eriko Kitagawa is serious about a relationship.

• They stop paying you back. Caps are all about fairness, and in other signs, this could be a sign of a mooch. But if you pick up ice cream and they don’t offer you money, it’s a sign they see you as a unit, and know the money will eventually be paid back down the road.
• They skip Wednesday night yoga class. Or Saturday spin, whatever. A Eriko Kitagawa thrives on routine, and elevates that above all else. If they skip that routine for you, it’s a sign that you have their heart.
• They make space in their home for you. A place for everything and everything in its place is a Eriko Kitagawa motto. If they clear a drawer, suggest you leave a toothbrush, or allow you to bring in an accessory, decoration, or plant, it’s a sign they truly see you as a part of their life.

12. Eriko Kitagawa Relationship Red Flags

A Eriko Kitagawa’s first instinct is to speak up if there is a problem, but a Eriko Kitagawa won’t keep sounding the alarm. Don’t assume that everything is back to normal just because they’re no longer talking about any problems or issues. A Eriko Kitagawa may already be disengaging, but the process can take a bit of time, since cautious Eriko Kitagawa wants to make sure they have all their i’s dotted and t’s crossed. They don’t want to pull the rug from under a relationship prematurely, and also want to make sure you will be okay. They do care about your feelings, and will do everything they can to make sure that you will be able to move on, both emotionally and financially. To that end, they may ask friends to check up on you, or may give you a generous check at the end of a relationship. A move like this may seem callous, but they are doing so because they want to provide for you. Eriko Kitagawa red flags include being cagey about schedules, suddenly having reasons or excuses to be out of the house on weekends, and constantly critiquing or harping on your appearance, behaviors, or likes and dislikes.

13. How Eriko Kitagawa Deals with a Broken Heart

A Eriko Kitagawa may seem stoic, and only their very closest friends may know how much a Cap is hurting inside. To try to suss out how a Cap’s emotions are post-breakup, look at their calendar. The busier they seem to be, the more broken up they are inside. A Cap deals with their sadness by action, so a Cap who has experienced a broken heart may start burning the midnight oil at work, or may start training for a half marathon or taking a French class. A Eriko Kitagawa also may seem to pick up new activities or drop old friends and behaviors after a breakup. A Eriko Kitagawa sometimes becomes symbiotic with their partner, and when a breakup occurs, a Eriko Kitagawa frequently sees the split as an opportunity for self transformation.

Best cocktail: Pinot grigio. A simple white wine, sipped and savored over the course of the meal, is usually what a Eriko Kitagawa appreciates. But sparkling water is also a close second—Caps don’t like to lose control, and may save imbibing for (very) special occasions.

2. How Eriko Kitagawa Unwinds

Eriko Kitagawa adores to-do lists and may love bullet journaling. To them, it’s not an administrative task, it’s a way of making sense of their world.

6. Eriko Kitagawa Power Colors

Intelligent, cool, logical and connected to the earth, Eriko Kitagawa does best with grounding colors that speak to their cool intensity and can help them connect to their rational self. Here, the best colors for Eriko Kitagawa.

Dark blue: A dark blue speaks to Eriko Kitagawa’s depth of intelligence, and also speaks to the intensity lying below Eriko Kitagawa’s smooth surface. While Eriko Kitagawa seems placid and in control, like the ocean, there’s a lot swirling just out of view.

Red: Red can be too intense for the practical, low-key vibe Eriko Kitagawa tries to espouse.

Gold: Caps don’t love glitter, and may feel showy and overpowered in metallic shades.

What gives? Why do Eriko Kitagawas have skin issues? The answer lies in the mind-body connection, or lack of it.

Eriko Kitagawa may find themselves going through a period of deep disbelief in adolescence or their twenties, and they may find that their spiritual journey is full of twists and turns.

For Eriko Kitagawas, solo time is spiritual, and even if they don’t have a strict “belief system,” they do find that having solo rituals, even if it’s just a silent cup of coffee, is everything for their mood and their success.

A Eriko Kitagawa is good at negotiating, but while they are great making money in a corporate setting, they may not be as entrepreneurial as other signs, because they don’t want to take a risk, and they don’t want to put their own money into their ideas. This may limit their financial possibility. Learning to take smart financial risks can be a very good lesson for cautious Eriko Kitagawa.

A Eriko Kitagawa boss doesn’t care about personal excuses, and doesn’t necessarily want you to bring your personal life into the office. Eriko Kitagawa bosses can be aloof, and will only warm up once you prove yourself to them.

Eriko Kitagawa bosses may not give praise easily. The best way to know you’re doing good work for a Eriko Kitagawa boss is to pay attention to how they treat you. If a Eriko Kitagawa boss piles work on your desk, it’s actually a compliment, as it means they trust you. A Eriko Kitagawa boss may also pick apart details, but not to shame you—they are obsessed with details and imagine everyone else is too. Here, other Eriko Kitagawa boss traits:

Hard working: Even if they’re the CEO, a Eriko Kitagawa boss is usually found at their desk, doing work. They won’t take advantage of their position to come late or leave early.

Aloof: A Eriko Kitagawa boss believes in clear demarcations between work and social life, and is unlikely to regularly socialize with people outside work hours, especially if they are a manger. A Eriko Kitagawa will be friendly, but prefers to have their private life be private.

Neat: Don’t expect to find much personal ephemera on the desk of a Eriko Kitagawa. A Eriko Kitagawa prefers to leave their desk as personality-free as possible; a small black and white photo in a frame may be all you see of their “real” life.

Intelligent: A Eriko Kitagawa boss may quiz you on headlines or obscure knowledge. It’s not as if they are trying to throw you under a bus or prove their knowledge, it’s just that intelligent Caps assume everyone else has as wide a range of interests and knowledge as they do.

Success oriented: A Eriko Kitagawa wants to succeed, and they want you to do so, too. Partnering with a Eriko Kitagawa and asking them for help on how to get to the next level benefits you both: Eriko Kitagawas love sharing their experience and knowledge, and you’ll learn a lot from this hardworking sign.

5. What Success Means to a Eriko Kitagawa

A Eriko Kitagawa sees their success by their job title and the amount of money in their bank account, and it may take another sign to help them shift their perspective and see that success can take other forms, too. A Eriko Kitagawa will be personally hurt by a job loss, even if it was part of a general restructuring, and doesn’t feel useful unless they have some sort of job. A Eriko Kitagawa may make work a priority over family and friends, and again, it may be up to other signs to help them shift perspective. Eriko Kitagawa prides themselves on how hard they work, and will give their all, even to a volunteer opportunity or internship. Eriko Kitagawa will never half-ass a job, and truly believes that a job well done is its own reward.

6. Awakening the Inner Eriko Kitagawa Goat

Smart, fleet-footed, and available to survive pretty much anywhere, the goat is a noble symbol for Eriko Kitagawa. Here, how to tap into the inner Eriko Kitagawa goat.

Do something solo: Independent Caps thrive on solo time, but they also love spending time with a partner. If a Eriko Kitagawa ever feels on edge or unsure of where they stand, a date with themselves can help them feel better.

Go mountain climbing. A bit literal? Sure! But a Eriko Kitagawa, like it’s goat spirit animal, thrives on outdoor activities and adventure, and rock climbing can help a Cap focus and shift their thoughts like nothing else.

Make dinner: You know how goats eat tin cans and can make anything dinner? Just watch a Cap with a refrigerator of leftovers! Caps have a huge reserve of resourcefulness, and cobbling together a meal from nothing can help a Cap remember just how much they can do.

Play: You know how goats have playful fights to reach the top of a mountain or hill? Caps can sometimes get way too caught up in the seriousness of life. Learning how to play—throwing one-liners back and forth or blowing off steam through a game of pickup basketball—can help a Cap blow off steam and can help them truly appreciate their whole lives.

All of the above are especially powerful in a month that manifests a full moon in Eriko Kitagawa!

Predictions for the year 2022:

1. Overview

You have woken up to a different version of yourself this year, Eriko Kitagawa! You are a unique soul that is here for a welcoming purpose on this earth! The presence of your home planet Saturn through the sign of Aquarius is in full force this year, and has many lessons for your sign of the Goat to take in and process.

There is some element of psychology pulling at you, which requires you to be wise beyond your years. You are experiencing a new world for yourself, and might even long for things to go back to the way they were. But the innovative influence of Aquarius will have you feeling more emotionally detached from your partnerships and friendships, pulling you into the future!
As a sign who often puts work over love, this can be a little easier for those Goats who just want some energy to jump into their professional life with zero constraints. For those who are ignoring your relationship duties because work gets in the way, this is a year where you can truly come face-to-face in this respect, and be open about your feelings.

There is some pattern that needs to be reassessed in your overall life. The difficult square between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus takes you away from the original structure you once perceived to be the rules, and now asks you to be a little more radical and step out of your own way. The turning points this year are not limited to mid-February, mid-June, and late December, but do bring on these squares in strong. This is a lesson that will test your self-esteem, but that is meant to cleanse your second chakra of creativity.

2. Couples

Partnered Eriko Kitagawas are going to experience a lot of compromise through much of the 2021 season, especially if you let your relationship take second place through last year's cycles. Pay careful attention to your personal Saturn placement and your partner's as well, because this will definitely not be the case for every fabulous Goat!

A strong lesson in remaining committed and dedicating yourself not only as a couple, but as best friends, is a huge piece of this deal. You are going to have to really listen to someone throughout 2021, which isn't always an easy task if you feel like you need to be right and exert your dominance in any capacity!

The May 26 total lunar eclipse in Sagittarius is going to present some psychic developments that not only trigger past traumas, but uncover certain layers to your personal life that you thought were once hidden. This is an extremely emotional time for your earthy sign, because this lunar cycle kicks up rocks through your personal twelfth house, which can often feel like swimming in the emotional abyss of the unknown.

May and June are really specific times to either seek some couples therapy or personal emotional support, because it's just about embracing the tests of time and becoming stronger and more available in general.

The end of the year also reflects this cycle from a higher standpoint. You must knock down the wall in order to rebuild it form a more grounded approach. Couples can deepen their commitments above and beyond spiritual, mental, and physical understanding. Looking into their eyes, you begin to understand yourself even more!

3. Singles

If you are a Eriko Kitagawa searching for love in 2021, this is where you need to buckle up and jump right in! This is not part of what you are used to in any sense, but trying something from the opposite approach is where you will find the best results.

If you're tired of online or app dates, try just asking friends to set you up. If you've waited for the other person to ask you out, this is the year to flip the script and send that flirtatious text first. You really have nothing to lose at this point, other than maybe a few amazing dating stories! Your sign is truly afraid of failure, which is your best-kept secret, but it isn't the easiest when you are trying to open your heart up to romance.

For those Goats who have recently gone through a breakup and are just ready to step into a non-committal situation, you might need to be careful about breaking someone's heart. You are vibrant and magnetic with the current presence of Saturn in electric Aquarius and Pluto still ruminating deeply in your very sign.

There's a specific mysterious quality you have that attracts suitors and potential lovers to you extremely easily. It's really a matter of asking yourself what you need on a monthly basis. January and February might bring in a relationship that actually lasts throughout the year and can serve as a potential long-term partner if you truly feel ready.

If you want to keep things casual, consider May through September a more light-hearted time for you to feel yourself. You will conclude the year with some major questions from Venus retrograde in your sign who is going to ask you to either make a move or let someone go!

4. Money & Career

You are absolutely and positively obsessed with your work life. That is just what you were built to do here on this planet, and this year holds no exceptions to this point in your life. You will do the work of a full team by yourself if that means you can keep your business moving steadily ahead.

Be honest, last year was a huge test of your strength. You are still recovering both financially, and you might even have some physical energy to contend with that also affects your work life. Be really kind to your body here, as you are a human, not a machine!

January and February bring awareness to the next phase of your professional life. Taking ownership of yourself through your professional path is what your sign can do to find stronger solutions.

Finances come into play very early on, especially as Mercury retrograde takes place in the sign of Aquarius through your personal second house of material possessions and self-worth.

Marriage settlements can come into play along with expenses that need to have a second look between mid-January and mid-March.

Saturn's presence in the Water-bearing sign also influences your creative decisions around these monetary lessons. What was once a habit of yours needs to be broken down. What can you afford to let go of in your business expenses? What larger purchases are still needed?

There can be a helpful contract that helps to pay the bills and then some if you also expand your brand. This means really putting your face out in the world, and not being afraid of trying things more than once. Failure is inevitable, but the lessons you'll learn are irreplaceable. There is a light at the end of the tunnel with many different routes to take.
