Aries: March 21st – April 19th

You pretend you’re fine when the opposite is true. You bottle up your emotions, which is why your relationship problems stay unresolved. Your person never has any idea of what you’re thinking, because you make them guess.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

You keep score. You feel like every nice thing you do for your person should be rewarded. You grow to resent them rather quickly because you’re tallying up little things, like how many times you do the dishes verses how many times they do the dishes.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

You cancel plans at the last second and you make plans at the last second. You never give your person a warning and end up disappointing them. Without meaning to, you make them feel like a backup plan instead of a priority.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

You spend every second of every day with them. Whenever your friends invite you out, you ask your person to join. Whenever you have to go shopping, you expect them to tag along. They are your best friend, which is sweet, but sometimes they need a break from seeing you.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

You like wearing the pants. Taking control. Having the final say. You never let your person get their way because you feel like you are always right.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

You get jealous easily. You guilt trip your person into choosing you over their friends and family members because you want them all to yourself. You act like their world should revolve around you.

Libra: September 23rd – October 22nd

You think you have the power to fix people when people just want to be accepted for who they are. You might push your person to visit the gym or apply for a certain job and think you’re being encouraging, but your person might see it as a sign that you want them to change, that you want them to be someone else entirely.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

You get angry easily. Your person feels like they can’t tell you anything because the second they do, you get mad. But you’ll also be mad if they keep secrets. It’s a lose-lose situation for them.

Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21st

You are too hard on yourself. You don’t think highly enough of yourself. You end up sabotaging relationships because you assume your person is going to cheat or abandon you or screw you over in some other way. You’re too pessimistic and it makes your person think you don’t have faith in them.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

You are used to being on your own, so you have trouble opening up to people. Instead of telling your person about what has been stressing you out, you try to handle your problems alone instead of facing them as a team.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

You are too nice. You’re worried about hurting your person’s feelings so you censor your words. You might hate their haircut, but won’t tell them. You might be mad at them, but will keep quiet about it. You’re accidentally keeping secrets that will snowball.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

You snoop through your person’s phone when they leave the room. You read all of their texts and swipe through their emails, just to make sure they aren’t cheating. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
