Everyone needs people in their lives who share and contribute. Learn what it takes to reciprocate fairly with each of the Zodiac Signs.
There are two kinds of people in this world- givers and takers. You never know which someone will be when you first meet them. Would you believe that anyone can give just as much as they take no matter how self centered or selfless they are, and you can get them to do it? But how? Astrology has the answers. Join Mysticsense to find out how to reciprocate with each Zodiac Sign. Find out exactly what reciprocity in relationships looks like, and what happens to relationships where there isn’t any. Then find out how to do a balanced give and take with each Sign. Some relationships are between a giver and a taker, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Read on to find out why.
What’s Reciprocity?
Reciprocity means you give or do something in return for something that someone has done for you. Some people think of reciprocity as giving the exact same thing you have been given, but it's so much more than that. We can't all give the same things, but we can balance what we're able to give. In domestic partnerships, you don't both necessarily split the bills and the housework exactly in half, but you take turns taking care of each other. In friendships, one of you might drive for more trips than the other one. The person who doesn't drive might book all of the hotels because the other person is anxious to use the telephone.
When we reciprocate in relationships, it means that we fairly contribute. It means that you return favors, and share what you have. It means that sometimes if you don't have anything to share, you will share later when you can. It means not keeping score, but knowing that you and your loved one are doing the best you can in the relationship all the time. It also means accepting that the best that you have and the most that you have to offer is going to change from time to time and being alright with that. We reciprocate on relationships, but what’s the point? Find out here: What’s the Point of a Relationship? Do They Matter?
What if We Don’t Reciprocate?
If we don't reciprocate in our relationships, one person gives and the other one takes. The person who is giving might get a sense of satisfaction that they're doing great things, but eventually it will become tiring. It will also become hurtful and you will feel taken advantage of if you're doing all the giving and you're getting nothing back. In friendships, family relationships, and romances, it's important that everybody cares about each other. Reciprocating just seems to happen naturally when that loving care is present. If you're in between jobs, your loved one will buy you lunch when it's time to go out. One day it will be your turn to do the same for them.
If you don't give what you can in the relationships, a one way relationship can happen. In these relationships, one person becomes emotionally and possibly financially depleted. The person who gives but never gets anything back is taken advantage of. They are not valued, but are used. If someone only calls you when they want something and can never be available for you when you need them, you're being taken advantage of. Don't feel bad if it happens to you. Sometimes it happens so quietly you don't realize it, but once you realize it's happening, you can't ignore it. Things like this can orchestrate breakups.

Reciprocating with the Zodiac Signs
Some people like to say some Zodiac Signs are more selfish than others, but that's just not true. Each of them has special ways of reciprocating, and they all have expectations of how other people will reciprocate with them. From Aries to Pisces, read about the best methods of reciprocating with each of the Zodiac Signs.
Aries
Aries people are all about fun. They are high energy, and they like to call the shots. That doesn't mean they won't do anything on anyone else's terms. It just means that you're going to have to be very special to them for them to do things your way. If your Aries is being stubborn, and they want things all their way, all you have to do is get them to listen to what you have to say. They need a lot of freedom, so the way to get them to listen is to listen to them first. You may have to compromise for them before they compromise for you. However, if you are someone who truly matters to them, they will reciprocate, do things on your terms, and be just as considerate of you as you are of them.

Taurus
When you're reciprocating with a Taurus, it can be very easy to take advantage of them if you're not careful. That's because they are born to give and nurture. Only a thoughtless person will find it impossible to give just as much as they take from a Taurus though. Tauruses are expert communicators. They make their feelings and thoughts known. All you have to do is pay attention. Only an especially clueless person will miss the blunt cues they drop, such as, “Hey, that's my favorite restaurant. We should go there sometime”, or “It always makes me happy when people surprise me with flowers.” When your Taurus drops these hints, write them down if you have to.
Gemini
Geminis seem to be some of the easiest going people on the planet, and they are happy to do things other people's way. They are called a Mutable Sign, and that means that they are flexible and adaptable. As long as they're having fun, they don't mind giving all they've got. A word of warning though. Geminis are very popular and they have a lot of options. If you do nothing but take and you are inconsiderate with them, they don't have to stay with you. There's a long line of people who would give anything to spend time with the Gemini that you are taking advantage of. With Geminis, sometimes you have to ask their preferences or needs. Do that, and fulfill those needs and requests. Read more about Gemini here: Gemini Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Cancer
One Zodiac Sign that's happy to act like they live to give is Cancer. Don't let them fool you. Every time you're selfish with them, they are keeping score. Some Cancers expect you to anticipate what they want or need. That's because they try to anticipate what everybody else wants and needs. They just want the same thing that they try to give everyone else. Don't think that it's hopeless if you can't naturally do that. Just ask. A little bit of thoughtfulness goes a long way with a Cancer. Don't trash the house or leave a mess. Nobody likes that. Don't expect them to always pay your way or give, give, give and never get anything back. Don't assume that you can always cry to them, but they can never cry to you. Cancer is one of the Zodiac Signs that needs reciprocity more than some of the others do, so don't abuse the privilege.
Leo
Leo has a reputation for being demanding, but that's not fair. If they care about you, you are their world. All they think about is you, and you are all that matters. They have the same expectation. They just want to be loved the same way that they love. They want you to give them little surprises to let them know they are on your mind. They need you to ask how they feel, and they expect you to pay attention when they tell you something. If you can't do these things, don't set your sights on a Leo because they will not have any tolerance for someone who does not reciprocate.

Virgo
Virgos say they are service oriented, but if you pay attention, they're sitting back giving orders and you're serving them. They don't mean anything by that. They are detailed oriented individuals who see what needs done to make things better. It can feel like they're doing all the taking and you're doing all the giving, so you just have to know how to recruit their skills. Put them in charge of quality control, and ask them to organize trips, shopping lists, the meals for the week, and the chores. They will be tickled pink that you acknowledge their abilities to give what they're able to.
Libra
If you're doing nothing but take while Libras do nothing but give, they will act like they don't notice it. In reality, they're just giving you enough rope to hang yourself with. So, if they are going out of their way to let you know how much they care about you, and you're not returning that, don't be surprised if one day they just ghost you. Libras might act humble, but they know what they have to offer. They will give you all their attention and give you everything they've got, but they expect you to give the same or at least as much as you can.

Scorpio
If you're someone who does not want to contribute your fair share to a relationship, walk past the sexy Scorpio. Some people say they are jealous, possessive lovers, and they take that as a compliment. If you tell them you are theirs, that's what they expect. If you tell them you care about them, they expect you to show it. Don't flake out on them., don't cheat, and don't come around just when you want something. If you don't reciprocate with a Virgo, they haven't been unknown to get revenge and they won't be sorry because they will feel like you deserved it.
Sagittarius
Sagittarians are gracious about accepting all that you have to offer, but if someone who they find more fun or interesting walks in the room, they don't have any problem leaving you high and dry. They won't do that to the people who they are committed to. They will make it obvious to you if they feel a commitment to you, and you will never need to question that. Don't waste your time chasing a Sagittarius who doesn't give as much as they take and you won't get your heart broken. It's that simple.

Capricorn
Capricorns make it immediately clear if they're serious about a relationship with you because they effortlessly give as much as they have. If they are not doing that, and you are dating or sexually involved long-term, it means they're just having a good time with you and they don't love you. It takes a lot for a Capricorn to share and share alike because they only do that for serious relationships. Just watch and say and especially what they do. They only reciprocate with people who they really love.
Aquarius
Everybody falls madly in love with an Aquarius, but they have very few people close to them on a personal level. If they're not showing up to your invitations, remembering things like your birthday, giving you gifts, or spending a lot of one-on-one time with you, you're a friendly acquaintance, not someone they love. They have very high demands of friendly acquaintances as well as loved ones, but they give as much as they take when they are committed to a relationship with you.

Pisces
Pisces is another Zodiac Sign that's entirely too easy to take advantage of. That's because they live to serve. Whenever there is a problem or a need, they want to make sure everything is fixed and taken care of. For everything they do for you, do something equally as helpful for them, or ask them what you can do. 9 times out of 10, Pisces will tell you they don't need you to do anything, but pay attention. They will drop hints about what they like or what makes them feel loved. Follow those hints and it will be the perfect reciprocity with your helpful Pisces.
Does it Always Work?
It would be fabulous if holding the keys of knowledge would miraculously open the door to every result, but it doesn’t always work that way. Some people, no matter how many things you do or say right, won’t cooperate. In this case- that means they will not reciprocate. Why? Some people don’t know how to accept anything, and other people don’t like to give. There isn’t any one reason for this. They have made the decision not to reciprocate.
There will always be someone who does not feel they should have to reciprocate and they will have their reasons. Nobody reciprocates unless they want to. You can’t make people want to. Some people don’t reciprocate with anybody, but most people do and they just don’t want to reciprocate with you. They may not like what you have to offer or they might just not like you. That’s okay. Plenty of other people will like you, love you, and be thankful to have you in their life!
Reciprocity is one thing that makes relationships work, and knowing how to do that is possible when you know someone's Zodiac Sign. Knowing how somebody reciprocates will let you know how serious they are about a relationship with you, though. Relationships are about what we get from people, but also what we can give to them. What could be better than sharing with someone who you love?
