Attachment is the root of all suffering.
By Molly Given — Written on Nov 29, 2017
Looking back at your love life there is a good chance you have encountered someone with a specific zodiac sign who is well hard to read in the romance department. Maybe you were really into them or maybe it was just a casual fling. But something inside your gut instinct told you that this person just isn't into commitment. There may have even been times where you were that person.
Commitment is a big deal to some people. So big that they start to get attachment issues. What seemed like an easy breezy relationship to them has turned into a 100-year binding contract overnight. It's not necessarily a fear but it is a hesitation that can grow and grow.
To some people being attached can scare them because they may have been burned in the past. Having those memories of hurt and heartbreak can make anyone shy away from that happening again. Some people do not like the idea of settling down in general. It might be boring or dull to them. Or maybe some people just aren't ready yet. They are at a different stage in their life and do not have a ton of room for that big of a commitment.
Attachment issues aren't just about relationships. They can translate over into different parts of our life. Accepting a new full-time job, getting a pet, buying a house etc are all some possible reasons that people will get attachment phobia. All of those big decisions in life mean getting attached and settling in. That's a huge mountain for some people to try to move.
All this does not mean that people can not change or grow into being okay with attachment. Everyone absolutely can be able to settle down and grow more attached to people, places, and things. It might just take an extra push to some people.
Looking into your horoscope and astrology can help determine where your sign falls on attachment-phobia. Here are the five signs that have attachment issues.
ARIES (March 21- April 19)
Aries are always looking for new, fast, and fun. They do not like anything that is repetitive or un-dynamic in their eyes. With this mindset and attitude, it is easy for them to bypass over attachment. They feel as though if they get attached they will get bored.
That is one of their worst fears, they live to always be on the go and to be exposed to new possibilities. Aries should keep in mind that attachment doesn't always mean that something will become monotonous. Life can be fresh and invigorating without constantly changing.
GEMINI (May 21- June 20)
Geminis are indecisive. They are always thinking of the wheels in their head constantly turning. With all of that mind power they can be overwhelmed and find the best way to get through it is to ignore having to make a decision.
Attachment and commitment to them is the ultimate decision maker, kind of like a final contract. This makes them uneasy, they typically wonder if the grass is greener on the other side. Geminis should remember that decisions are made but not carved in stone. They have the ultimate power to control their life.
VIRGO (August 23- September 22)
Virgos are cautious and do not jump into anything head first. Virgos weigh every single possible option and scenario in their head. They want to make sure they have the right tools and skill set to be ready to take on anything.
The problem is when they overanalyze they talk themselves out of attachment because of something they completely created in their own head. Being fiercely independent doesn't help that cause either. Virgos should know that life is unexpected and messy. There is no way around it and not being prepared for every single possibility is actually the way life just is. Roll with the punches.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22- December 21)
Sagittarius are completely against being caged in. They need their freedom in order to live their happiest and best life. Attachment makes them feel confined to a cage and unable to move. To them, if they get into a commitment they are hindering themselves from living.
They try to avoid all attachment for that exact reason, no one can have authority over any of their decisions. Sagittarius should remember that attachments in life are not the end of the world or their freedom. You can still be you even if you have a partner.
AQUARIUS (January 20- February 18)
Aquarius are nor fans of emotional expression. To them being too emotional is a weakness. They would much rather keep to themselves and not have any unnecessary drama. Attachment in their minds is the source of that drama.
They figure that getting too deeply involved with someone or something will only slow down their personal growth, especially if it's bringing up too much emotion. Aquarius should realize that being in touch with your emotions does not make you weak. It actually does the exact opposite.
