Andromeda DavisWhen it comes to love, everyone has a blind spot. Understanding yours can help you avoid making relationship-ending mistakes.
Here’s what every sign of the Zodiac gets wrong about love–and how to fix it.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries, you’re a passionate, energetic person. And frankly, you think that making up in the bedroom after a fight means that you don’t need to talk about your issues. Confront the underlying problems of your relationship before they get too big to ignore.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You probably already know your biggest stumbling block, Taurus. Your deep-seated stubbornness makes an impact on every aspect of your life, but it’s especially clear in romantic relationships. Love needs a certain amount of compromise, so learn to let go.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Gemini, your biggest challenge in love is your brain. Specifically, the part of your brain that insists you are always the smartest person in the room. Check your brainiac impulses and make sure that you’re not being a smug know-it-all, okay?
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
If there’s one thing that could sabotage your loving relationship, Cancer, it’s holding on too hard. When you get paranoid and clingy–and you know that sometimes happens–it can end up pushing away the person you most want to stay close with.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Leo, you are a star. No one is denying that. But do you have to be the main character in every story? It’s okay to let your partner shine. In fact, it’ll make your relationship much stronger when you take a step back.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Hey, Virgo! Have you scheduled time with your significant other today? Your biggest struggle with romance is ensuring that you make your relationship a priority. Work is important–but so is love.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libra, you are quite a sensual person. That’s what happens when you are ruled by Venus. However, love is complicated for Libra. You constantly want to balance the pros and cons of every scenario, which can lead your partner to feel frustrated when you can’t make a decision.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio, you love secrets. Specifically, other people’s secrets. You like knowing things about your partner, but you aren’t eager to open up in return. Let yourself be more vulnerable, Scorpio. It’ll benefit both of you.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
No time for love, Sagittarius! You’ve got more important things to do, right? You like to spend time with your boo, but when they suggest you settle down and get serious, that’s when things fall apart. You don’t like the idea of being tied down–but ask yourself why that is.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
Capricorn, you work hard–but you tend to forget about play. Without that balance in your life, you’ll end up as a workaholic with no friends. Sorry, Cap–the stars don’t lie. You are an incredibly dedicated, hard-working person, so why not apply that same work ethic to building your relationship?
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius, I have a hard truth to deal out today. Are you ready? Other people’s emotions are just as valid as yours. You have a tendency to stay emotionally detached in relationships, but if you want to strengthen those bonds, you’re going to have to be all-in on love. Can you do it?
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces, you are a wonderful, caring person–but you know there’s a reason why so many of your potential partners bail early on. You love very deeply, sometimes from the first moment you meet that special someone. Not everyone can handle that amount of intensity. However, rather than scale it back, it’s best to simply keep trying to find your perfect match.
