    While some zodiac signs cling to the past, some end up causing conflict because of their overthinking tendencies.  From the fiery passion of Aries to the dreamy idealism of Pisces, here’s a playful look at the one relationship mistake each sign just can’t seem to shake. Who knows? You might just find the cosmic key to improving your relationship ahead…

    Relationship Mistakes Each Zodiac Sign Makes

    Aries: Jumping in too fast


    Fiery and impulsive Aries, you’re ruled by the planet of action, so it’s no surprise that patience isn’t your strong suit. Your passionate nature is a big plus, but diving in headfirst without really knowing the person often leaves you caught off guard. Next time, try slowing things down just a touch. Romance is a marathon, not a sprint!

    Taurus: Clinging to comfort


    As an Earth sign, you love stability and security, which is great, until it leads to holding on to a relationship just because it’s comfortable. Dear Taurus, relationships need room to grow, so if your partner isn’t the best fit, don’t let stubbornness keep you stuck!

    Gemini: Overthinking everything


    Your brain is always on, analysing and re-analysing every little detail. But when it comes to relationships, your overthinking can lead to mixed signals and second-guessing that drives your partner up the wall. Sometimes, trust your gut, and let things flow!

    Cancer: Holding on to the past


    Your sentimental heart is as deep as the ocean, but sometimes you’re a little too anchored in memories. This can make it hard to fully be in the present with your partner. Letting go of the past hurts can help you love more freely.

    Leo: Needing attention all the time


    Leo, you’re all about the big, bold expression of love, which is amazing, but sometimes you might (unknowingly!) make the relationship all about you. It’s okay to let your partner shine too. Remember, romance is a team effort!

    Virgo: Being over-critical


    Virgo, you have an eye for perfection, but sometimes that means you’re quick to pick apart your partner’s flaws. While they appreciate your desire to help them grow, love doesn’t need to be a constant improvement project. A little more kindness can go a long way.

    Libra: Avoiding conflict


    Your diplomatic heart hates confrontation, which means you’re great at keeping the peace… until there’s a real issue that can’t be ignored. Avoiding tough conversations can leave you both feeling frustrated. Trust that a little honesty will only strengthen your bond.

    Scorpio: Not communicating properly


    While a little mystery in the relationship is great to keep things interesting, sometimes you take it too far! Expecting your partner to read your mind and not opening up about what’s in your heart can be detrimental to your relationship. Drop the mystery and let your partner in on your feelings!

    Sagittarius: Fear of commitment


    Freedom-loving Sagittarius, the idea of ‘forever’ can feel restrictive to you. But while your adventurous spirit is beautiful, sometimes it’s worth exploring the deeper connection that commitment can bring. Don’t be afraid to root yourself a little more.

    Capricorn: No work-life balance


    While your work ethic is impressive, sometimes it comes at the cost of your relationships. You cannot put your relationship on the back burner just to serve your ambitions. The right partner for you will respect your drive, but a little more balance can help show them that they’re a priority too.

    Aquarius: Being emotionally distant


    Like Sagittarius, you love your independence too. But sometimes it makes you seem a little too detached, Aquarius. Your partner wants to connect with the real you, not just your intellectual side. Don’t be afraid to open up and share your feelings.

    Pisces: Idealising Your Partner


    Dreamy and romantic Pisces, you see the best in everyone, which is a lovely trait, until you end up ignoring red flags. Falling in love with someone’s potential can lead to disappointment, so remember to see them as they are, not as you wish they’d be.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
