Biggest Fear Each Zodiac Sign Has In A Relationship

It’s written in the stars.

Sometimes facing struggles within your relationship is more than just a communication glitch, it’s actually innate to your zodiac sign. Knowing your zodiac sign and your partner‘s sign can help you understand one another by minimizing additional stress on the relationship. When you and your partner both know what the other needs to feel secure, this can help deepen the bond and increase your alignment with one another.

Here are the biggest insecurities each zodiac sign faces in their relationship:

1.Aries – Not Being In Control

The overly confident Aries often operates from their masculine energy and typically thinks they know best. They have a fear of not being in control, as well as not having all the answers in life. Even if they are wrong, they won’t admit it or ask for help from their partner. This can lead to a lack of alignment within the relationship.

And, if Aries find themselves in a relationship with another Type A personality more than likely the Ram will be butting heads with their partner by trying to dominate the relationship. As opposed to fighting for control, the Aries needs to focus on deepening the connection from a romantic perspective by connecting with their heart versus their head.

2.Taurus – Their Love Not Being Reciprocated

Taureans tend to fear their partner doesn’t adore them as much as they cherish their partner. Given Taureans are loyal by nature, they often desire the same style of commitment in return from their partner. If their love is not being reciprocated in the same manner they tend to worry if their partner is happily committed.

Taureans also strive for financial stability in their relationships and want to live their best life. They often fear if they cannot be as successful as their partner this will make them feel inadequate. While they want the best of everything, yet they also know their true happiness lies within a candle-lit, home-cooked gourmet meal shared with their partner.

3.Gemini – Loss Of Freedom

Gemini can be a bit of a commitment phobe as they often fear their loss of freedom when they enter into a relationship. They enjoy spontaneity when it comes to life which tends to blow them where the wind goes. This can breed havoc on a relationship.

Relationships need consistency to go the long-haul. The best thing they can do is keep the lines of communication open with their partner. They way they aren’t left in the dark when a new passion arises or all of a sudden they decide to plan a vacation to St. Lucia when they have been planning Sweden for months.

3.Cancer – Getting Hurt

Cancers tend to be the most sensitive of the zodiac signs. They struggle with the fear of getting hurt and developing trust with their partner to feel safe enough to open up. This can lead to behaviors that sabotage the connection versus building the relationship because they don’t want their shortcomings to be seen.

While it can seem scary to show vulnerability, relationships can only deepen from a place of authenticity. Almost everyone fears rejection on some level, but the only way to experience a spell-binding love is to take the risk with the one your heart desires.

4.Leo – Need For External Validation

Leos seek security from external sources of validation, such as social media, friends, or other romantic interests. This is a slippery slope for someone who seeks constant attention from those other than their partner and often leads to being seen as an untrustworthy partner. Their ego and the need to be the center of the world often makes them “Me” focused versus “We” focused.

Learning to seek security from within will do a Leo wonders in their partnership. Working on building their internal core will give them their own stability which will allow them to form a secure bond with a partner and not the world.

6.Virgo – Partner Will See Your Flaws

Virgos are known as the perfectionist of the zodiac signs, often struggle living up to their own high standards. Personally, nothing is ever quite good enough for them, making it almost impossible for a partner to meet their standards in the relationship. They fear once a partner sees their flaws their partner will jump ship.

A Virgo will benefit from finding self-acceptance and owning their imperfections. Because if they don’t love all of themselves, it can be difficult for a partner ever love them in return. Owning who they are and being comfortable with their flaws will allow a partner to fully embrace who they are as a whole.

7. Libra – Lack Of Internal Happiness

Libras live by the notion that everyone has to like them. This can be an exhausting life to live and keep up with. Libras put so much focus on making a good impression they struggle to know what truly makes them happy. If one doesn’t know what makes them happy, this can lead to a very superficial relationship with the lack of vulnerability to grow the bond.

Becoming more assertive in who they are and identifying their wants will benefit a Libra in their relationship. Because no one wants to date someone who lacks the ability to make decisions or know what truly fuels their heart.

8. Scorpio – Jealousy

Trusting a partner is a struggle for the emotional and resentful Scorpio. They often fear their partner will betray them and the pain will be too much to bear. This often leads to overly questioning their partner’s motives, which can be a lot for one to handle if they have to keep proving their trust. Being away from their partner for long periods of time can lead them to feel neglected by their partner.

‘Trusting others first starts with trusting yourself. Scorpios can benefit from engaging in self-care and self-love exercises that will strengthen their self-worth versus displacing their fears onto the relationship. The more confident one is, the healthier their relationship will be.

9. Sagittarius – Losing Self In A Partnership

The zodiac sign of travel loves living life to the fullest and fears commitment. The thought of having to take a partner into consideration when living a free spirit lifestyle can lead them to stay detached and often single. They fear if they attach themselves to a partner they will no longer be able to live their life the way they want to.

When it comes to relationships, a Sagittarius needs a partner who respects their freedom while the Sagittarius needs to learn to balance incorporating their partner into their life. Healthy relationships are built on a foundation of balancing independence and interdependence.

10. Capricorn – Failure To Make Time For A Relationship

Work is their middle name. Capricorn’s biggest fear in life is failing and they will often work themselves to death until they reach their goal. This often doesn’t leave much time for a relationship, especially if their partner’s needs get in the way of their life’s purpose.

A Capricorn will have to learn to find balance in life if they want to have a healthy relationship. One who lives a fulfilled lifestyle dedicates themselves to the three main tasks of life: love, work and social by striving to succeed in every area.

11.Aquarius – Loss Of Individuality

The thought of losing their individuality is an Aquarius’s biggest fear. They like to be free and make their own rules which means committing to a relationship can interfere with the way they live their lives and what makes them happy.

While having individuality is probably what attracted a partner to an Aquarius in the first place, Aquarius will benefit from learning to compromise in their relationship if they wish to keep their partner happy. Being in a relationship doesn’t mean giving up who you are as a person.

12.Pisces – Letting Your Partner Down

Their biggest fear is letting others down or experiencing rejection by others. Being a people pleaser can leave them to get hurt easily, as their partner can find them to be too much at times.

Pisceans can benefit from focusing on building their self-worth and engaging in self-love activities versus placing all their attention on making their partner happy. The more they own their worth the easier it will be to attract a partner who appreciates and respects their giving nature.

If you and your partner are struggling to work together because their insecurity is getting the best of your relationship, then set up a couple’s session. Simply understanding how to work with your partner could be a lifesaver to your relationship.
