Let’s be blunt — relationships are never easy. You take people living in this stressful world and put them together, and of course there are going to be bumps in the road. Not only do you have to allow someone into your life (which can be difficult enough), but you also have to learn to grow alongside that person. And yes, that often means you have to compromise and change some of your behaviors. Fortunately, none of us are alone. We all have strengths and weaknesses, which is especially the case when it comes to relationships.
Though we are all unique in our own special way, zodiac signs can give us a helping hand as we work to learn more about ourselves and others. For instance, when trying to improve yourself, you might want to look at your sign’s weaknesses to see where you can do some work. This won’t only improve your life, but can also improve your relationships — both with friends and significant others.
Now, let’s look to the stars for some perspective.
Is Often Distant

Sign: Aquarius
When you combine your independent nature with the fact that you’re an intellectual, what you get is someone who’s often away in their own head. This is especially the case when you feel hurt or lack trust in someone — you retreat to your mental palace, the one place where you feel safe to process whatever is going on in your life. Unfortunately, this can cause you to come off as distant to your partner. They want you here with them, but oftentimes it can appear as though you’re hiding away in your own head.
Too In Your Own Head

Sign: Pisces
Much like Aquarius, your mind can be both a blessing and a curse — but for a completely different reason. Your imagination is your haven, and you regularly find yourself floating there as you dream up new projects and nurture your beloved ideas. While Aquarius is more into processing the past and present, the future is where you set your sights. If you’re working on something you’re passionate about, that’s all you can think about. But what about your partner? They can tell that something else is on your mind and might feel left out of the equation.

Lacks Patience

Sign: Aries
You’re not the type to waste time or energy. After all, people typically rely on you to get things done and to get them done fast. While this greatly applies to your work, it can also be said of the people you welcome into your life. You don’t have time for someone who is slow and steady, or someone who needs to take some time to grow up. You want change in the here and now — not five months down the line. Unfortunately, it can be hard for others to keep up with your pace, causing them to fall behind while you’re full speed ahead.
Not Great At Compromise
[image_with_caption text=”iStock” image=”https://itsblossom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/impatient.jpg”]
Sign: Taurus
It’s amazing that you know what you like and aren’t willing to compromise. We could all use more of that confidence. However, this might be a problem in your relationships… because not everyone is going to like what you like. Yes, you have amazing taste and long for the beautiful things in life. But your partner might not feel the same. Maybe they don’t want to see that romcom, eat at that five-star Mexican restaurant, or split that vintage coffee table for your apartment. And that might make you feel more stubborn than ever, with compromise being nowhere in sight.
Fear Of Being Alone
[image_with_caption text=”iStock” image=”https://itsblossom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/alone.jpg”]
Sign: Gemini
While it’s easy for you to adapt in new places and spaces, it’s not easy for you to do it all on your own. You can be indecisive, seeing the world as black and white, and that in turn can make you nervous. It’s important that you have someone to hear you out, allowing you to release whatever is clogging your forever-thinking brain. However, this can take a turn for the worse as you become dependent on a significant other who helps you make decisions and listens to everything that’s on your mind.
Mood Swings
[image_with_caption text=”iStock” image=”https://itsblossom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/moody.jpg”]
Sign: Cancer
If there’s on emotion you feel to the core of your being, it’s… all of them. As a zodiac sign that’s known for being sensitive to the entire emotional spectrum, you can go from happy to sad in an instant. What’s worse is that you can take on the emotions of those around you. If your partner is feeling sad, you’ll start to feel sad — just by them being around you. This can often make you out to be moody, and your partner might not know how to handle you during these times. It can be a lot for people who don’t feel emotions as intensely as you do.

Can Be Self-Centered

Sign: Leo
It’s great that you love the spotlight, but is not so great when that becomes the focus of your entire life. Yes, you might like to perform and entertain, but that shouldn’t always be the case in your relationships. You might find yourself talking about your day for 15 minutes, completely forgetting that your partner is waiting for their turn. Or maybe you steal the show on their birthday without even meaning to. These are things to watch out for on your end, but you should also make sure you find a significant other who isn’t afraid of your confidence.
Has Extremely High Expectations
[image_with_caption text=”iStock” image=”https://itsblossom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/expect.jpg”]
Sign: Virgo
“They’re the perfect employee,” your employer might say, when describing the fact that you’re a hardworking person who goes above and beyond. Sadly, not everyone is like this, but you might forget that and allow your expectations to soar to the sky. Now don’t get us wrong. It’s good to have expectations, but not when those expectations are unrealistic and prevent people from getting close to you. In order for you to find love and grow as a person, you need to understand that not everyone is exactly like you.
Doesn’t Forgive Or Forget
[image_with_caption text=”iStock” image=”https://itsblossom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/forgive.jpg”]
Sign: Libra
Balance is the name of the game for you, and you’re living your best life when justice has been served and life is operating like a well-oiled machine. In other words: When someone hurts you and disrupts the peace, you won’t forget. And sadly, no matter how small the affront is, you might not forgive. You can easily carry a grudge for the rest of time, so that no one will ever hurt you again. You do it to protect yourself, but that can unnecessarily prevent people from getting close to you.
Gets Jealous
[image_with_caption text=”iStock” image=”https://itsblossom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/jeal.jpg”]
Sign: Scorpio
You’re known for your passion, which seeps into all areas of your life — your work, your friendships, your romantic relationships. When you fall in love with someone, you seriously fall in love. You instantly go from zero to 60, and there’s no going back. However, this can pave the way for jealousy, especially since you can be an extremely intense person. This may be off-putting to your partner, who routinely reminds you that there is nothing to worry about. They want you to trust them, but that can be hard.
Doesn’t Like Commitment
[image_with_caption text=”iStock” image=”https://itsblossom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/commit.jpg”]
Sign: Sagittarius
If there’s one thing you never take for granted in life, it’s your freedom. You love being able to go wherever, whenever — especially if it involves an exotic location you’ve never been to before. With this in mind, you tend to reject anything (and anyone) who can hold you back. Though traveling is your forte, commitment is not, and that can make it hard for you to embrace a relationship. And if you don’t find a partner who also enjoys their independence? That can make things even worse.

Overly Pessimistic
[image_with_caption text=”iStock” image=”https://itsblossom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/pess.jpg”]
Sign: Capricorn
Since you’re a responsible person who values being a knowledgable leader, that can often turn you into a know-it-all. You want to absorb all the information you can get your hands on, which causes you to see both the good and the bad. When it comes to the bad, it can easily affect you and your unforgiving personality, leading you to be pessimistic about everything in life. If you don’t take the time to remember that there is positivity out there, you could end up being a dark cloud in your relationship. And if that relationship ends? You might not be too surprised, since you do expect the worst.
