Wary of heartbreak, some zodiac signs go to great lengths to protect themselves from emotional pain in relationships.
If you’ve ever experienced heartbreak, you know just how painful it can be. And for some people, they’ve been burned one too many times and won’t risk the chance of it ever happening again.
To protect themselves moving forward, they keep their distance when it comes to relationships, never quite emotionally investing themselves all the way in order to prevent getting hurt.
Based on astrology, here are 4 zodiac signs that go out of their way to protect themselves against heartbreak in relationships.
1. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
If there’s anything that is an enthusiasm killer in the world of romance – it’s one too many breakups. Heartbreak hits Sagittarius especially hard and delivers a crushing blow to their otherwise optimistic attitude.
To prevent this from happening, Sagittarius keeps their distance. When it comes to romantic commitment, Sagittarius prefers to keep things light and loose.
Trying to pressure or corner Sagittarius for a commitment will only backfire, as their reaction is to make a swift getaway!
2. Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Gemini is one of those signs that prefer to keep their options open in every area of life. The only way to do that is to never fully commit or invest themselves in anything – and that includes relationships.
They keep all ties loose – especially emotional ones. By not fully putting their heart into something, it’s really no big deal and won’t hurt so bad if things come to an end.
In fact, Gemini is ever-prepared for things not to work. You could say that Gemini keeps one foot in and one foot out the door at all times.
Walking away is simply a matter of leaning harder in one direction.
3. Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
The only thing Capricorn fully dedicates themselves to is their goals and career. When it comes to relationships, it’s just the opposite.
Relationships are low on Capricorn’s list of priorities. This attitude paints them as being cold and pessimistic when it comes to matters of the heart.
But for Capricorn – their own heart is what matters most to them. They protect their heart by not putting all their eggs in the basket called love.
If those eggs happen to break, it’s not going to be the end of their world and they will recover quickly.
4. Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Even though Aquarius is generous, it can be selfless, and is truly interested in others, there still a part of themselves they protect fiercely when it comes to relationships.
They maintain an emotional wall, never revealing what they are actually feeling, and this makes them quite unpredictable. Aquarius has a well-earned reputation of being detached and aloof. This also gets them branded as insensitive.
Aquarius protects themselves from heartbreak by being noncommittal. It’s easy for Aquarius to end a relationship, as they prefer meeting new people, finding a quick replacement to fill an empty heart.
