The Zodiac Sign Most Afraid of Commitment, According to Astrologers

If you’ve dated a lot, you know that different people have wildly different approaches to commitment.

Taurus

A Taurus’s fear of commitment is often subconscious, so they may have trouble articulating what’s holding them back in the romance department.

“In their minds, they are desiring and want to commit, but their insides tell a different story,” says Ian Altosaar, astrologer and creator of The Freedom Astrologer.

This subconscious bias against settling down can be attributed to past relationship struggles, whether those were romantic, familial, or platonic. “Most of their transformations and pains are all related to relationships, making it even scarier to commit to someone,” Altosaar adds.

They require years of getting to know a person before they feel comfortable locking things down. However, once they do, Altosaar notes they love with passion and intensity.

They’re much more at ease when they know they have a way out—so it might be challenging to convince them to put a ring on it in their relationship or get them to sign a multi-year contract at the office.

Virgo

This sign’s internal turmoil can lead them to struggle to commit.

“A Virgo is someone who is extremely critical, and therefore can have a really tough time when it comes to commitments,” says Patsy Sanchez, assistant editor for Zodiac Sign. “If something isn’t working for them, they will be vocal about it, and leave any situation in which they don’t want to be a part.”

Both their relationships and professional lives can take a hit. “A Virgo strives for perfectionism in their…
