Why You Resist Putting Your Heart Out There, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Aries

You resist putting your heart out there because you feel like you can handle life on your own. You’re self-sufficient enough to take care of yourself, to make your own money and cook your own meals, so you have stopped looking for another person. You feel like you don’t need anyone other than yourself. But you need to remember, a partner isn’t supposed to complete you. They’re supposed to complement you. They’re supposed to be a companion, a partner, a friend.

Taurus

You resist putting your heart out there because you tell yourself it’s safer that way. You’ve convinced yourself that you’re better off on your own because there’s no risk of heartbreak or rejection. But you need to remember, not loving is also a risk. You risk missing out on the right person. You risk missing out on the love story of a lifetime.

Gemini

You resist putting your heart out there because your schedule is so busy. You feel like you don’t have time to date. You feel like your energy is better spent on other things. But you need to remember, the right person will be worth the effort. You’ll want to rearrange your schedule to spend time with them. You’ll want to make room in your already busy life to fit them into it.

Cancer

You resist putting your heart out there because you know how fragile it is. You know how sensitive you are. You know that you fall for others easily when you let yourself, that you grow attached and even needy. You don’t want to turn into that type of person again, so you’ve tried isolating yourself. But you need to remember, it’s not a bad thing to have big feelings. Your vulnerability is a strength and the right person will acknowledge this.

Leo

You resist putting your heart out there because you have been hurt too many times before. You know the drill by now — and you’re sick of it. You don’t want history to repeat itself, so you’re locking your heart away. You’re refusing to play the game. But you need to remember, you know more today than yesterday. You’ve learned and grown. You won’t make the same mistakes, even if you put yourself out there again.

Virgo

You resist putting your heart out there because you’ve been listening to your head instead. And your head is telling you that most relationships will end poorly. Most partners will end up as exes. But you need to remember, love has nothing to do with logic. It’s not an exact science. Sometimes, a person who looks wrong for you on paper could be right for you in reality. You just need to take that chance.

Libra

You resist putting your heart out there because your fear is holding you back. You’re scared of getting your heart broken. You’re scared of getting cheated on or abandoned. You’re scared of getting so hung up on the wrong person that you can’t sleep at night. But you need to remember, healthy love won’t look like this. Healthy love will make you feel lighter, not heavier.

Scorpio

You resist putting your heart out there because you’re a pessimist. You’re assuming that any relationship is going to end in heartbreak, that any person who you let into your world is going to shatter you eventually. But you need to remember, you are deserving of good things. You are lovable. You are worth dating. If you want a relationship, don’t deprive yourself of one.

Sagittarius

You resist putting your heart out there because of your self-doubts. You aren’t sure whether anyone would want you forever. You aren’t convinced that you’re worthy of a long-lasting relationship. But you need to remember, you bring so much to the table. You are strong and intelligent and worth knowing, worth loving.

Capricorn

You resist putting your heart out there because you want to remain independent. You want to have your own life. You don’t want to turn into someone else or make sacrifices for someone else. You don’t want to lose yourself. But you need to remember, the right person won’t take away from your life. They will add to your life. They will make your life fuller.

Aquarius

You resist putting your heart out there because you’ve seen how horrible couples can treat each other. You’ve seen unhealthy relationships in the past. Maybe you’ve even lived them. And you don’t want anything to do with them. But you need to remember, you don’t have to stay anywhere you’re uncomfortable. If a relationship doesn’t work out, you can leave. You’re not stuck. You always have a choice.

Pisces

You resist putting your heart out there because you are still healing from old heartaches. You are still coping with baggage that others have lowered onto your shoulders. You are still thinking about people from your past. But you need to remember, part of healing is moving on. You don’t want to rush yourself, but you don’t want to be too lenient on yourself either. You might never feel ready, but you can put yourself out there anyway.
