Aquarius

(January 20 – February 18)

You are a dreamer and usually have your head in the clouds. You are one of the most loyal signs of all the zodiac- as long as you have the freedom to be yourself. You struggle in relationships when partners try to manipulate or control you. Because you are so independent, you can come off as emotionally detached. You need a partner that proves themselves mentally before you can open up enough to give your partner your heart.

Pisces

(February 19 – March 20)

You are the most emotional of all the zodiac signs. This is a blessing and a curse in your relationships. You tend to shower your partners with affection and express all of your emotions (good and bad) with intensity. You struggle in relationships because you have a difficult time handling your emotional states. This can be extremely overwhelming for your partner.

Aries

(March 21 – April 19)

You are one of the best listeners out of all the zodiac signs. You love to shower your partner with love and affection. This is a great trait to have until it begins to feel suffocating for your partner. Once your partner begins to feel like you are “mothering” them, you’ll soon find your relationship hitting the rocks.

Taurus

(April 20 – May 20)

One of the most loyal signs, you are devoted to your partner and committed to a long-term future. Your biggest struggle in relationships is learning to forgive and forget once you’ve been betrayed. You have a hard time forgetting past wrongdoings and love to hold on to a grudge. Your partner will quickly grow tired of trying to prove themselves over and over, even years after they’ve apologized.

Gemini

(May 21 – June 20)

You are the biggest flirt of the zodiac signs. You struggle with routine and consistency. You need a partner who is as adventurous and spontaneous as you are in order to commit. If you start to feel the monotony of everyday life, you will move on to a new conquest instantly. Your biggest struggle in relationships is learning to live with the boring routines that will inevitably happen throughout life.

Cancer

(June 21 – July 22)

Like a crab, you like to hide behind your tough shell exterior while being extremely soft and sensitive on the inside. Once you finally open up and trust someone, you commit yourself to them for the long-term. Your struggle is continuing to cling on to them after the relationship is over. You tend to hold on to past relationships for years, blocking any chance of allowing a new relationship to enter your life.

Leo

(July 23 – August 22)

You are known for your inflated ego and refusal to compromise. You really only struggle at the beginning of your relationships, when you’re trying to appear overconfident. This is a mask to cover up your own insecurities. Once you trust your partner, you open up easily. If you can get past your initial fears of being manipulated or betrayed, you develop fiercely loyal long-term relationships.

Virgo

(August 23 – September 22)

You are the perfectionist of the zodiac and your prospects are lucky if they make it past the first date with you. This serves as a benefit to your relationships, allowing you to weed out any potential losers upfront. On the flip side, no one likes their every move analyzed under the Virgo microscope.

Libra

(September 23 – October 22)

You rule the zodiac when it comes to successful relationships. Known for your giving and loving nature, you love maintaining many close relationships. Your biggest struggle in relationships is being too giving. You must learn to have boundaries or you will continue to get steamrolled in your relationships.

Scorpio

(October 23 – November 21)

Known as one of the most intense signs of the zodiac, your steamy nature is also your biggest lure. You may get a bad rap for having an explosive mood, but what really holds you back is the inability to forgive. Once someone has done you wrong, they stand little chance of ever making it back into your good graces. Ever.

Sagittarius

(November 22 – December 21)

Lust rules for you, Sagittarius and it will quickly blind you even faster than love. You are the zodiac’s most generous sign, which becomes a problem when you’re wearing your rose-colored glasses with the wrong person. Once you’ve fallen for someone, you give them the world. Don’t let the wrong person take advantage of you, without giving anything in return.

Capricorn

(December 22 – January 19)

You struggle in relationships because you are so determined to get married and have a family that you do not spend enough time making sure the person is right for you first. You are very status driven and have to keep up appearances in order to be satisfied. This means you worry more about how your relationship looks outwardly to others versus than what’s really going on behind closed doors. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
