5 Zodiac Signs Least Likely To Get Married Or Settle Down
Don't expect them to commit anytime soon...
Although for many the ultimate goal is to fall in love, settle down, tie the knot, and pop out a few kids, for others, the mere thought of such a life is the stuff of nightmares.
While no one is under any obligation to settle down, there are those zodiac signs who just can’t fathom such an existence, no matter how hard they try. But, in their defense, it’s not always their fault because, you know, astrology. So blame the stars instead.
Here are the five zodiac signs least likely to get married.
1. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
There are two major components that make Sagittarius the least likely to settle down of all the signs: they value their freedom and they can’t stand needy, clingy people.
This isn’t to suggest that Sagittarius is incapable of love, it’s just that they need to have a relationship on their terms, which usually means at their convenience. Therefore, making them the hardest zodiac sign to lock down into a serious relationship or marriage.
2. AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
It’s Aquarius’ independence that stands in the way of them being the type to settle down — not to mention their fear of expressed emotions, theirs or anyone else’s.
While they’re not entirely against the idea of settling down, it just doesn’t make much sense for them. They pride themselves on being unique and taking the path less traveled, which naturally means settling down isn’t part of that path.
3. LEO (July 23 – August 22)
Leo’s inability to settle down has everything to do with what they think they deserve. For example, Leo thinks they deserve the best, so although they may find themselves in a serious relationship, they’ll still have one foot out the door, constantly looking for something better.
Leo thinks they want to settle down, but their arrogance prevents it from ever happening. In the end, Leo usually ends up alone.
4. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Similar to Leo, Taurus will never settle down because of a personality flaw rather than a belief system. When you’re too stubborn, too pig-headed, too unwilling to compromise, and too possessive, it’s really hard to find someone with whom you can settle down.
Unfortunately, that’s the fate of Taurus — unless, of course, they’re able to look at these flaws and try to make themselves better.
5. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)
It's Libra's indecisiveness and non-conformity that keeps them from settling down.
Although they definitely have a romantic streak somewhere in there, their need to be unique, while not really being able to commit to one thing, because they change their mind on the dime, are the personality traits that are going to keep Libra from settling down or getting married anytime soon. It's not on the top of their list of priorities.
