astrology Why Your Relationships Sucks, Based On Your Zodiac Sign  

Aries are typically highly ambitious and goal-oriented. They have big dreams and are eager to make them come true. An Aries needs a partner that understands this and gives them the freedom to pursue those goals... even if it means not getting to spend as much time together. If an Aires is in the midst of pursuing a professional or creative career and their partner needs a substantial amount of quality couple time, the relationship won't be very successful.

As the Bull of the zodiac, one of Taurus's best-known traits is stubbornness. This means a Taurus likes to play things safe. This Earth sign needs to be very sure of something, like a new relationship, before jumping all the way in. A Taurus can come around - and will be in it for the long haul - but it will take some time. If a Taurus is with someone who rushes them to do something, their stubbornness will come into play and they will resist. Patience is indeed a virtue, especially in the eyes of a Taurus. 

Geminis tend to be extroverts and love chatting with every person in their lives. Communication skills come naturally to Geminis, and they expect the same from others. This doesn't just mean talking for the sake of talking; it means honest communication between partners about their feelings. If a Gemini is with someone who tends to withdraw rather than be open about their emotions, that communication breakdown will likely lead to a relationship breakdown.

Cancers have a tight-knit crew of people with whom they're close. Instead of going out to big gatherings, they'd rather spend time with their small circle of friends or close family members. Building trust with a Cancer may take some time because only a select few get that level of approval, and part of that acceptance process is being liked by their close confidants. To paraphrase the Spice Girls, if you want to be a Cancer's lover, you gotta get with their friends.
