The hard truth about why you’re single, based on your zodiac sign

Being single is a choice. But sometimes this choice is not easy at all. Discover the hard truth about why you’re single based on your zodiac sign.

Aries(March 21 – April 20)

The Aries native is a combination of sexuality and independence, but sometimes a good thing can turn out to be a bad thing.

The reason you’re single is because you refuse to relinquish control when the relationship is ready to take it to the next level. Maybe it’s time to reconsider that strong sense of independence and let go a little of that wall built around you. Intimacy sometimes also means letting someone else see your vulnerable parts. Just because you allow someone to help you, doesn’t mean you’re helpless. The hard truth is that you can’t let someone in without being afraid of getting lost.

Taurus(April 21 – May 21)

You have a lot to offer the right partner. You are known for stability, ambition, positive energy and an undying romantic side. But letting someone you love betray your trust means a broken heart will hide beneath a stubborn exterior.

It’s time to let go of the past and move forward with your future. Stability sometimes requires a little risk. If you want to give up loneliness, you have to know that the only person stopping you from being happy is you.

Gemini(May 22 – June 21)

When you commit to a relationship, you commit body and soul, but you just can’t decide if that’s what you want. And the situation becomes quite confusing.

You hate being alone, but as soon as things get boring, you’re ready to give up. You are single for now because you chose to be. When you find someone who shares your passion for work, play and love, you may decide it’s time to settle down.

Cancer(June 22 – July 21)

Intuition and instinct are your superpowers. You are the friend people can trust. You love your mommy even if she’s not everything you wanted her to be. Your sensitive nature, love of privacy and empathy are attractive traits to those around you.

But, the hard truth is that deep down you are very cynical when it comes to love. You’ve been hurt in the past and don’t know if you can move past your pessimism about love and relationships. The truth is you can if you are willing to let go of the past.

Leo(July 22 – August 22)

You are a kind, generous and loyal leader. You like to be the center of attention. The only problem is that you can’t always be the center of attention and that creates difficulties for you in love.

The pretty obvious lesson here? Calm down and realize that a relationship is not a one man show. A partnership is about more than just yourself, so make sure the spotlight you want is also on the people you care about and love.

Virgo(August 23 – September 22)

You are the master of details, sometimes a little strange, but when it comes to analyzing a situation, no one is better than you.

However, the truth is that you are quite brutal when it comes to others and you are constantly working without knowing what play and fun are. You may be lonely because of your high standards. So if you want to be able to have a real relationship, you’re going to have to get off your high horse and start riding everyone else’s level.

Libra(September 23 – October 22)

You are fair, relaxed and fun. You like to socialize with friends, either at home or out on the town at a party. And also the truth is that no one fights against injustice like you do.

But if a person you like turns out to be insensitive or rude, the relationship is over before it even started. You’re brutally honest about how you feel, which is great, but try to stop listening without getting defensive.

Scorpio(October 23 – November 21)

Scorpio loves you until… until what? It’s hard for a person to bring out your negative side, but the fastest way to do it is to betray your trust. Not everyone can be as loyal and faithful as you, which is why you’re still single.

While you should never tolerate dishonesty, forgiveness is not a bad thing to practice either. Try it once or twice and you might realize it’s good. After all, we are all only human.

Sagittarius(November 22 – December 21)

You love to love, unless your relationship starts to feel restrictive or suffocating. The truth is that too much time spent with your partner is too brutal for you, since you like your independence.

You love your freedom and would prefer to be single if the relationship you are involved in would deprive you of it. But if you really want to settle down at home, every now and then you’ll have to step out of your comfort zone and give up your independence for the other.

Capricorn(December 22 – January 19)

You get a bad rap for being old-fashioned, but the truth is, you like stability. There’s nothing wrong with being practical, the trick is figuring out how to balance routine and romance.

You can’t be so rigid all the time, so try to keep up with the times and take into account what other people want. You might find something you don’t expect in someone. But you can’t unless you give it a real chance.

Aquarius(January 20 – February 18)

You are the kind of person who helps anyone in need. You are a problem solver. But when it comes to finding out why you’re still single, especially when you’d rather not be, it’s a hard truth to face.

You are often misunderstood and labeled as insensitive when it comes to deep feelings. Your challenge is to find a way to put into words what your actions don’t convey the way you want them to.

Pisces(February 19 – March 20)

You take your time, but you’re also the first person to offer a shoulder for those who have been hurt to cry on. From the outside, it may seem like you don’t have time for a relationship or that you’re not looking for romance.

If you’re tired of being alone, you may need to overcome your fear of being yourself, meaning honest and vulnerable. It’s okay to be this way, and believe it or not, there are people you can lean on too. You can’t always be strong, so let your guard down every now and then and you might connect with someone who can pick you up when you’re down.
