Why Your Fiancé Won't Set A Wedding Date, Per Astrology
Does he really want to get married, or is he just buying time?
You’re engaged! You finally did it! You're engaged to the love of your life.
You call everyone you know, find the perfect filter for your Instagram pic and take to Pinterest to start find perfect DIY wedding crafts and A line wedding dresses.
Weeks go by and you can hear yourself going on and on to your friends about which is better, a band or a DJ, what colors your going to use for your bridesmaid dresses.
You start to notice however, that your fiancé doesn’t seem to be having the same problem. It's been months of being engaged and you haven’t set a date yet.
He always seems to say, “when this project is over well set a date” or “after Christmas I’ll talk to my mom and see what works best for everyone on my side of the family” or “we’re engaged, were obviously going to get married one day soon, what’s the rush?”.
You’re starting to worry that he is never going to want to get married, and maybe your engagement is just a holding phase.
Below you will find out if he really wants to get married or if he’s gotten himself in over his head, based on his zodiac sign.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries are known for their ability to make deadlines. If you are engaged and you haven’t set a date yet, it is likely that perhaps he isn’t ready yet. Aries are very determined and competitive. They would rush to the alter just to beat out their friends.
If an Aries is dragging their feet, then it is likely that your engagement IS acting as a holding phase. But the only surefire way to find out is to ask your fiancé. Open communication is the best way to get the answers you are looking for.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus are very reliable. If they say they are going to do something, they will likely follow through. If your Taurus has promised to marry you it is likely not just a holding phase.
If it is taking you longer than you would like to set a date and make plans, there may be another issue slowing you down. Talk to your Taurus and get to the bottom of it. Don’t like these insecurities eat away at you and subsequently your relationship.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis can be very inconsistent making them very hard to read. They also are quite indecisive, so they change their minds on a dime. If a Gemini agrees to marry you, it is likely they meant it at the time.
You all are in love! But Geminis can change their mind on a dime. Make sure you are talking to your Gemini and making sure they know that you want to move forward.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers are very family oriented. They are very loyal and sentimental. If you are engaged to a Cancer person, your engagement is likely not a holding phase. Cancers may be dragging their feet because they truly love this moment of being engaged to you.
Cancers are going to follow through on their promises, and they will stand strong by your side. If you are still worried that your cancer is dragging their feet, make sure you open up to them and let them know that this is the way you are feeling.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos tend to be dramatic and self-centered. They want to be the center of attention. If you feel like your engagement is going on too long, it is likely because they like the attention of being engaged.
They like going to different venues and being fawned over.
They like going to bakeries and trying 30 different cake samples. They like to always have something interesting to talk about when around friends and family.
They love planning what will hopefully be the most important day of their life. So, if a Leo is taking their time, the are probably just enjoying the process of being engaged.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos, being the hyper-meticulous students of worry that they are, did not put you in a holding phase. For a Virgo to have agreed to marry you in the first place, they would have gone over every fact and every figure.
They know that you are the person for them. However because of their overly analytical approach to life, it may take them a while do decide on a date, a venue, the size of the wedding party, who to include in their wedding party and so on. Even the smallest decisions will take hours of research and rumination.
Your sweet Virgo wedding will be perfect, but it wont be hasty.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras are very diplomatic and fair. They will not promise to marry you and then take back that promise. On top of that Libras HATE to be alone. The fact that you agreed to marry your wonderful Libra will make them grateful enough to give you the world, not just their hand in marriage.
Your Libra cannot wait to merge your lives together. If you think there is still something holding your Libra back, talk to them. Find there is probably some imbalance in your lives that they are waiting for a platform to talk about.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios are likely the most passionate of all of the signs. They do everything in the heat of the moment. They love to proclaim their love to you from the mountain tops, and sing your praises to all they meet.
They will dedicate themselves to you fully. However, if your engagement to your Scorpio happened in a moment of spontaneity, then that may be cause for some concern. Being a passionate sign, Scorpios may not have been prepared for the commitment they made when they committed to you.
There was a chance that they were overtaken with love for you that they look a leap they weren’t prepared to take. Just talk to your Scorpio. Scorpios won’t do things they don’t want to do, if you talk to your Scorpio, I’m sure they will tell you what is really going on.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius’s biggest flaw is that they are known for promising more than they can deliver.
Ever the optimist, they not only want but believe things can work that maybe just can’t. They love you but sometimes they just bite off more than they can chew.
Unfortunately, sometimes for a Sagittarius, and engagement is just a holding phase. But the only way to truly know, is to ask them. They love you, and they will be straight with you.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorns are very practical and family oriented. They are faithful to their responsibilities and rooted in practicality. If your Capricorn agrees to wed you, your engagement is not a holding phase.
However, something to keep in mind is if your Capricorn still wants to. If a Capricorn makes a promise they are going to follow through, even if their minds have changed.
If you feel a shift between you and your Capricorn, make sure you open the lines of communication. Your fears may not be unfounded.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius people usually prefer to be alone and they tend to run from emotional expression, so if an Aquarius person agrees to marry you, then I think your engagement is not just a holding phase.
For them to take the time to decide that you are the person they would rather be with, then just being alone, and they felt that it was their duty to tell you that, your Aquarius is hooked.
You are on your way to the alter. However, if you sense that something is wrong, talk to your Aquarius. There may be another issue that you are unaware of.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
For a Pisces, it is more about co-existing in a relationship, more than the specific love of their partner.
Obviously they love you as they promised to marry you, but it is more about the bond that you share. If they felt close enough to you to agree to spend their life with you, your engagement is not a holding phase.
If your engagement is taking too long, there are probably other things on the mind of your Pisces. Pisces tend to have a desire to escape reality, so perhaps your fears aren’t unfounded. Talk to your Pisces. They will open up to you.
