Blame It On The Stars: Here Are All 12 Zodiac Signs' Worst Problems In Relationships

Note: Be sure to check your sun and rising sign.

But thanks to your planetary ruler, Mars, which also happens to be the planet of war and aggression, you can run into trouble when your temper flares or you lean into your more selfish side. Relationships require compromise—as well as clear communication—and both of those can be challenging for you.

You're more of a "slow and steady wins the race" kind of dater—as opposed to Aries, who's all-in upon the first date, for instance. As such, you can come off as reluctant to open up, or seem immovable in your ways, which can be discouraging for someone trying to win your affection. There's nothing wrong with making sure you're sure before committing, just be wary of keeping yourself in a self-imposed loveless prison.

You have an insatiable desire for new experiences, new information, and meeting new people, and that's not a bad thing. In fact, it's part of what makes you a fount of knowledge. It can be problematic, however, when your attentive and loving partner doesn't understand why you keep a roster of potential dates on the back burner.

Whether you're sulking about a bad day, wallowing in a wave of nostalgia, or upset over someone slighting you, you tend to get hung up on your emotions and have a hard time "shaking it off," so to speak. It's important for you to establish healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with more difficult emotions, lest you succumb to an outburst that has a negative effect on your partner.

Relationships are about mutual admiration and support, and require balance and compromise, even when your knee-jerk reaction is to do whatever you want. If you want a healthy relationship, you have to be willing to have a leading co-star.

Not only is it hurtful to your partner to feel constantly criticized, but the urge to perfect every little aspect of your partnership is a fruitless one. There will always be something that could be better, but if you can accept that, you might find your relationship isn't so bad after all.

As a sign, Libra is known to be the most relationship-oriented of them all. It's actually even associated with the seventh house of long term partnership, so it's no wonder you tend to sacrifice yourself in the name of keeping the peace. But if keeping the peace means losing sight of your own desires, wants, and needs, that's not a sustainable dynamic for a healthy partnership.

You have a hard time letting anyone in to begin with, and once you do, you tend to grip tight, with inclinations towards being controlling and possessive. You also know how to hold a mean grudge—basically indefinitely. You're intense in your relationships to say the least, which is exciting for some, but a person can only put up with feeling controlled for so long.

Even if you're not literally galavanting around the world, you do require freedom in a deep way—intellectually, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and beyond. Locking yourself into commitments of any kind can feel like a real threat to the bold and expansive identity you've built for yourself, leading you to avoid them all together. Just remember that the right person can make a great travel buddy.

No one's saying you have to turn into a mushy-gushy sap, but it never hurts to give your partner a little reassurance, quality time, or simply a loving touch to remind them that you care and you're present with them. Without those signs of affection, your partner can feel left out in the cold.

Your challenge in dating comes down to opening yourself up to real intimacy. The only way you can hope to find a loving connection is if you're willing to put yourself out there and risk getting hurt. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but in the moments you feel truly witnessed and loved, it makes it all worth it.

You're also prone to escapism and flights of fancy, which doubles down on an already illusory view of someone else. Instead of taking someone's words and actions at face value, you can tend to put them on a pedestal, make excuses, or otherwise resist allowing your fantasy to be shattered. Be wary of naivety, as well as being misled, in your relationships.

We all have our little ticks and habits in relationships that are less desirable than others—but that never means we aren't worthy of a healthy, loving relationship. By understanding the patterns that are common for your sign, you can watch out for them in your relationships to avoid further issues.
