The REAL Reason Why They’re Hot And Cold (Based On Their Zodiac Sign)

Aries

They play hot and cold with you because they love being in control. They want to know that they always have the upper hand and they don’t want to surrender to being vulnerable or feel like they’re getting too attached to someone. They play hot and cold to make sure that they don’t lose themselves and give in to their emotions before you do.

Taurus

They play hot and cold because they’re probably not in a stable place in their lives. They are very practical and will not get into anything serious unless they have everything else in their lives figured out. If a Taurus is in and out of your life it’s because they’re still trying to get their own life in order first before committing to someone. 

Gemini

They play hot and cold with you because they simply don’t know what they want. Geminis struggle with making one decision and sticking to it, so one day they want you and the next day they don’t know how they feel about you. They have no shame in their game and they will show you, one way or another, how indecisive they really are.

Cancer

They play hot and cold with you because they’re afraid of falling for you and getting hurt. They’re emotional and when they fall for someone, they’re ready to give that person their world, so the idea of being with someone and getting attached makes them very anxious. Their fear of rejection is the reason why they can’t be consistent or completely transparent with their emotions and may act like they don’t care on purpose. 

Leo

They play hot and cold with you because they love the game! They love to keep you guessing and wondering whether they’ll text you back or ignore you whether or not they’re interested. They enjoy the game because they are good at it. They’re playful by nature so it comes naturally to them to use every tactic in the book to drive you a little crazy.

Virgo

They play hot and cold with you because they want to know how you really feel about them. Virgos need a lot of reassurance before committing to someone so they will test how much you want them before revealing how they really feel about you. They want to know that even if they’re cold, you still want them and accept them.

Libra

They play hot and cold with you because they don’t want to get tied down just yet. Libras tend to get bored easily and they know a lot of people, so they don’t want to commit to anyone because they’re just enjoying their time mingling with others. A Libra will only commit to someone when they’re fully ready to take that step.

Scorpio

They play hot and cold with you because they are probably talking to other people. Scorpios are serial daters and they have a lot of people pining after them so they won’t easily commit to one person until they make sure that they have seen what’s out there and took their time to make that decision.

Sagittarius

They play hot and cold with you because they have other priorities, maybe a new diving course, maybe a new sky diving trip, a new job, or a new adventure somewhere exotic. They love their space and freedom and won’t easily allow anyone to invade that space even if they really like them, so they will always be a little elusive and distant, especially in the beginning. 

Capricorn

They play hot and cold with you because they are probably not completely over their ex. Capricorns have a hard time letting go of someone they truly loved, and it takes them a very long time before they open up their hearts to someone new again, so they’re always cautious when approaching love and relationships in general.

Aquarius

They play and hot and cold with you because they are defensive, they don’t want to seem weak or vulnerable or show someone they need them, so whenever they show someone that they like them, they will take it back somehow to protect themselves from their own feelings. They don’t want you to know how much you mean to them so they will always pull away after they get close.

Pisces

They play hot and cold with you because they run away from intimacy and responsibility. They are not always open to sharing their lives with someone as they like to do things their own way at their own pace and they hate any kind of external pressure on them. They will always have one foot out the door, ready to exit when things escalate.
