The 5th, 7th and 8th houses and their rulers show the types of energy we are attracted to on others in different ways. The 5th house pertains to romantic sparks/courtship, the 7th house pertains to loving affection and partnership, and the 8th house pertains to private trust and intimacy. Your 7th house is Scorpio with Neptune (explains why you went for a Pisces) in that house. Pluto in Virgo and Mars in Leo co-rule Scorpio. The 7th house attracts you to Pisces/Scorpio/Leo/Virgo energies on others.
Your 8th house is Sagittarius and is ruled by Jupiter in Scorpio. The 8th house attracts you to Sagittarius and Scorpio energies.
Your 5th house is Leo ruled by Sun in Virgo also in the 5th house. Mars ruler of Aries and Pluto ruler of Scorpio fall into the 5th house as well(Pluto is at the very end of this house). The 5th house attracts you to Leo/Aries/Virgo/Scorpio energies.
Your Venus is in Libra and this attracts you to elegant, well-mannered, nicely presented people as partners.
As you can see given your 5th, 7th, and 8th houses, you have quite a range of signs that can be an attraction for you. Most people fall for those who possess a combination of their natal chart's 5th, 7th, and 8th house energies. There are a variety of ways that this can happen.
The sign Scorpio is represented several times in your pattern, so this sign can attract you quite well. Not at all surprised about your history with them. It might even feel like something is missing if the partner doesn't have a strong Pluto/Scorpio theme going on somewhere in their natal chart.
With your Moon in Cancer trine your Dsc by degree, I think a planet in Scorpio on your Dsc and trine your Moon would be very good for emotional depth in a relationship. Both Cancer and Scorpio like to be tight with their partner. A Scorpio Sun or Moon trine your Moon would be good for this.
I'm also seeing all three of the fire signs showing in your attraction pattern... Leo, Sagittarius, and Aries (Mars in the 5th house). A partner with some warm and generous fire planets trine or conjunct your Leo Mars, or sextile your Libra Venus, would be nice for you. Fire signs tend to be direct in their affections and your Leo Mars just loves that.
Your own Sun sign Virgo shows in your attraction pattern too. However, Virgo is also the sign of your South Node, so too much Virgo in the partner might actually make you feel held back a little, like you can't move forward. This is especially so if their Virgo planets are close to your South Node. A planet or two in Virgo might be okay for you but a Virgo stellium in your partner will make you feel stuck. South Node represents our symbolic past.
The opposite sign Pisces is your North Node, and with Neptune in the 7th you're quite attracted to Neptunians. Caring, dreamy, slightly disorganized (in comparison to you) folks. Pisces stretches your capacity for growth in a way, and helps to you to feel you're making progress. North Node represents your symbolic future. You admire this sign and feel you can learn from them, even if it doesn't always work out. I think a Pisces Asc person would work really well for you. Pisces on the Asc puts your Sun sign Virgo on the Dsc, and your Moon sign Cancer on the 5th house. So a Pisces Asc partner is likely to be really into you.
Your Vertex/Antivertex Axis sits on the 12 degrees Aries/Libra. The partner's planets on the Vertex/Antivertex Axis make us feel as if the relationship is meaningful or fated. Something about them feels 'right' to us. Your Mars in the 5th house, and Venus in Libra, attract you to Aries and Libra as signs already. So watch out for planets from the partner on either end of the Vertex Axis or a Libra planet conjunct your Venus. You'll likely love those.
Here are some examples of the sort of person you're likely to go for...
I think you'd do well with a Scorpio Sun/ Pisces rising with planets in Libra and Sagittarius aspecting your Venus and Mars. Or maybe even a Sagittarius Sun/Pisces rising that has personal planets in Scorpio sextiling your Virgo planets. Warm hearted fire and water sign Moons suite you.
You'd also do well with a Leo/Pisces rising with Moon in Scorpio (aspecting your Cancer Moon), and planets in Aries, Sagittarius, Libra, or more Leo (aspecting Venus or Mars). With Sagittarius though, it would be best to find those that have Sag planets not making too many tight squares to your Virgo planets. Very tight aspects to Mars or Venus from this sign should work well for you though.
A Pisces Sun with Aries planets, or an Aries Sun with Pisces planets, could also work well for you. Especially if they have Moon in Scorpio or Leo. I agree that Venus in Aquarius might be a little to chilly for you unless there's a very tight trine to your Libra Venus there.
You might even try a Libra Sun with planets in Scorpio, and Moon in Pisces or Leo.
The above are just examples of the types of combos you could be attracted to on others astrologically based on your natal 5th, 7th, and 8th houses. I hope you get the gist of what I mean. All the above examples are based on combos of signs/planets symbolized in your relationship houses. Your chart says you like watery/fiery types that are emotional and passionate, but also charming and elegant (because of Libra Venus). While you yourself play the role of the practical soul with your Taurus rising and Virgo placements. You'd be like a muse to sensitive, artistic, dramatic, intense sort of guy, whose idealistic and kind hearted. He'd be responsible enough to keep his life together, but you'd probably be the more level-headed one. Sound like your type? The marriage asteroid Juno in your chart is in Taurus so your partner has to be basically dependable, but at the same time you crave watery/fiery creative emotional energy in your partner.
