There are zodiac signs who can't help but imagine a life with their partners and fantasize about the future. But then, there are zodiac signs still fall in love hard, but guard their heart so much that trust seems like a far-off thing. In the end, you'll find love; if you haven't, you just haven't met the right person yet.

But these zodiac signs guard their heart...

8. Aries (March 21 - April 19) 

Aries able to fall in love very quickly, but they are known for being hot and cold. Aries are full of love and affection, but can be iffy; one second, they are very lovey-dovey, and the next they are cold and standoffish.

9. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorns are very discreet and tend to seem distant. Even if they are in love with someone, that will never change.

10. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarius lets the past guard their judgment. The main reason for guarding their heart has to do with being hurt in the past. The Aquarius personality can be interesting to the point where they'll be difficult to love.

Relationships are considered a challenge for most Aquarians, and if they were let down in the past, they will probably choose an easier companion than someone who will offer them an intense love. And it's all to avoid laying their feelings bare.


11. Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus is the most stubborn of the zodiac sign. They will never make the first move in love!

Taurus struggles with being able to let down their guard down. They don't like the idea of revealing how they feel or sharing their emotions. Taurus is probably one of the most awkward zodiac signs when it comes to love.


12. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Virgo is a major workaholic, meaning their career is more of a priority than love. They are very ambitious, and don't really have a lot of time to pursue romantic paths.

Virgo dreams of climbing their career ladder, rather than dream up a fairytale ending.
