3 Zodiac Signs Who Always Mistake Attachment For Love

  • Updated

While your zodiac sign won’t always pair perfectly with an attachment style, astrology can give you a look into the ways you might bond romantically with people—and how this can be unhealthy if you aren’t careful. Because of this, these zodiacs might find their romantic lives complicated—or even lacking—and may mistake stability, codependency, or even emotional turmoil for love. Here are the zodiac signs who should be the most careful about mistaking attachment for love.

Cancer

Cancers are creatures of comfort—they crave stability and contentment above all, which aren’t inherently bad but can often lead to complacency in their love lives. They may find themselves staying in stagnant or unfulfilling relationships simply because they dislike change or because they are stubborn in their idea of loyalty. They are also more likely to cling to the ideas of people and relationships to justify their decisions, rather than acting authentically with their emotional truth. In trying to protect themselves from heartbreak or the hardship of starting over, they’ll hold too tightly to attachment, even if it isn’t love.

Taurus

Taurus are stubborn, loyal beings—and because of that, they’re likely to double down on their decisions in both life and love, even if they aren’t always for the best. If Taurus feels comfortable with a person or in a relationship, they’ll do just about anything to keep them, willfully ignoring the signs that they’re not in love as long as they continue to feel safe and comfortable. Ultimately, they’ll hold onto the wrong partners too tightly, not because of love but because deep down, they’re too afraid of what their life will look like without the relationship.

Scorpio

Unlike Cancer or Taurus, Scorpio’s attachment to the wrong people isn’t about comfort at all. On the contrary, Scorpio isn’t afraid of deep, even tumultuous connections—oftentimes, they thrive on them. That being said, they’re also more likely to confuse these all-encompassing, dramatic emotions for love than any other zodiac sign—and who can blame them when these emotions are so big, so life-changing? Scorpio needs depth in their relationships, but unfortunately, it’s easy for them to get lost in the depth of other emotions—lust, jealousy, validation—and convince themselves this is what relationships are made of. They’ll believe wholeheartedly that this attachment is love, even when it’s clear to others that it’s not.
