5 Zodiac Signs Who Take Longer To Find The Love Of Their Life
When we talk about relationships, it’s no secret that many people long to find the right person for them. While love may not always be easy to find, it doesn’t stop us from trying to find the person who could very well be the love of our life.
Yet, there are plenty of reasons why that journey may be easier said than done. Whether it’s bad timing, our preferences in relationships, or trying to become a better partner ourselves, there can be roadblocks that cause the time it takes for us to find that person to take longer than we would like.
Astrologically, there are some signs that may struggle to find the love of their life more than others. This doesn’t guarantee they won’t find the person or that they truly will have to wait for years for the possibility to occur. However, some signs have specific personality traits and ways they experience the world that may cause their search for the right person to take longer than expected.
Check out the signs below to see which zodiac signs may take longer to find the love of their life.
Capricorn
It’s no secret that Capricorns are often hard at work, and they have their reasons. Outside of wanting to be the best in their fields, Capricorns want to have their life set up before they invite someone else into it. This alone can lead to a longer period of time before they even set their sights on seriously dating, but their ambitious nature and determination can also cause additional setbacks. When you create a specific space for a person to step into, then that person has to fit to a T, but humans are often messy and unpredictable by nature. Capricorns may have a distinct vision of who they think is their soulmate, but ultimately they have to learn that love doesn’t always follow the plan. Once they embrace this, they are more than likely able to find a person they deeply love and cherish.
Virgo
Virgos are known to be perfectionists, but in love, this trait tends to go deeper. When trying to find the love of their life, Virgos will usually approach it one of two ways: be hyper-critical of each potential person they meet, using their flaws to disqualify them, or if they have strong feelings for the person, try to help them “fix” those flaws so they can match Virgo’s vision. If a Virgo doesn’t have other zodiac placements that give them a softer view of others, it can be easy for them to simply determine that a great love doesn’t exist for them—that no one measures up. However, Virgos tend to learn as they age that trying to fix people isn’t a way to love them and that being hyper-critical of flaws doesn’t actually protect them, but isolates them from the world. When a Virgo can open their heart to the possibility of imperfection (but not tolerate disrespect), they are more likely to find the person who loves them unconditionally—and they can learn to return the favor.
Aquarius
Aquarians have a tendency to operate as a self-fulfilling prophecy—they are sure a person could never fully love them as they are, therefore they distance themselves from those who try to love them in the first place. While this may not be true for all Aquarius signs, there is often still a belief that they need their space and full autonomy, and the idea that they can have that while being with another person can feel inconceivable at times. However, once Aquarius can recognize that love doesn’t have to involve giving up their freedom, they will be more open to the possibility of finding love. Additionally, they have to be flexible to the idea that while they may enjoy being misunderstood to some extent, to be loved is to be known—and only after they can embrace that concept can they meet someone who could love them fully.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius signs may actually find the love of their life early on, but staying with them? That’s another aspect altogether. Truthfully, Sagittarius is more than capable of settling down and being with one person, but they have to feel as though they have done some level of exploration first. This sign also has to learn that difficulties and struggles involve being present to be resolved, instead of escaping to another place, time, or person. Sagittarius signs are full of life and passion, and they do long to share that with someone, but finding and keeping the love of their life means them getting their personal issues sorted and making a dedicated decision to stick around before that can happen. This can also lead to the risk of them losing the love of their life to someone else if they wait too long—but that is a risk they are willing to take.
Gemini
With Geminis, the question isn’t whether they can find the love of their life necessarily, but will the love of their life now still be the same tomorrow? Gemini signs are often in a constant battle of self-discovery. As they learn and grow, they can change aspects of their identity to align with the person they want to become. However, this makes finding the love of their life a little challenging—a person who is a great fit for them now may not be in two months, two years, or two decades. Gemini signs have to find a person who is comfortable with and can adapt to change, and in a society that often doesn’t prioritize that idea, it can make finding the right person for them more difficult. However, it’s up to Geminis to remember that being content is not a terrible thing, and that trying to hold out for “someone better” may not be the best strategy in the long haul. Naturally, they shouldn’t settle for the bare minimum (no one should), but they also need to be open to the idea that people are capable of growth and change, just like they are.
