1. Pisces: The Dreamer Who Falls for a Fantasy

Pisces doesn’t just fall in love—they surrender to it. With a heart wide open and eyes clouded by idealism, Pisces tends to see people not as they are but as they could be. This makes them dangerously prone to falling for the mysterious, the misunderstood, and—too often—the unavailable.

They tell themselves, “I can fix them,” like it’s a noble mission. But what often happens? They give and give until there’s nothing left—and still get ghosted by the brooding poet or the emotionally stunted musician. Pisces doesn’t just attract the wrong person; they invite them in with warm tea and a handwritten poem.

Why it happens: Pisces rules fantasy and illusion. They want the fairy tale and are willing to edit reality to make it work. Even when all signs scream RUN, Pisces whispers, “But what if this is true love?”

Their pattern: Loving people for their potential, not their behavior.

2. Cancer: The Caretaker Who Gets Taken For Granted

Cancer loves hard—and once they’re in, they’re all in. These nurturing souls often find themselves playing therapist, parent, or emotional life raft to partners who never deserved their loyalty in the first place.

What begins as love quickly turns into a caretaking role. Cancer is drawn to broken birds—the emotionally unavailable, the commitment-phobic, the hot-and-cold texters. But in trying to “love them into wholeness,” Cancer forgets their own needs and boundaries.

Why it happens: Cancer feels safest when they’re needed. But this need to nurture often leads them into one-sided relationships that drain more than they give.

Their pattern: Mistaking intensity for intimacy and confusing caretaking with connection.

3. Sagittarius: The Free Spirit Who Loves the Chase

Sagittarius doesn’t fall for just anyone—they fall for the unattainable. The forbidden. The “bad idea at 2 a.m.” type. They’re ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, which means they want love to be thrilling, boundary-breaking, and a little chaotic.

Unfortunately, they mistake the spark of drama for chemistry. That emotionally unavailable ex? The one who doesn’t text back for three days? Sagittarius calls that “mystery.” They love a good chase but often find themselves exhausted and ghosted once the game is over.

Why it happens: Sagittarius craves adventure and stimulation. They’re easily bored by the “nice guy” or “perfect on paper” types, assuming that stability equals stagnation.

Their pattern: Falling for people who are emotionally distant, then wondering why they don’t stick around.

4. Libra: The Romantic Who Loves the Idea of Love

Libra lives for love stories—but too often, they fall for the aesthetic of the relationship instead of the reality of it. Ruled by Venus, they crave harmony, beauty, and partnership. But in their quest to keep things “pretty,” they sometimes ignore glaring red flags.

They don’t want conflict, so they’ll rationalize their partner’s bad behavior. Gaslighting? “He’s just stressed.” Neglect? “She’s just busy.” Libra falls for charming people with big smiles and shallow intentions, often ending up heartbroken in perfectly curated Instagram relationships.

Why it happens: Libra is terrified of being alone and will bend over backwards to maintain the illusion of balance—even when their heart is breaking.

Their pattern: Prioritizing connection over authenticity, and falling in love with potential instead of truth.
