These Zodiac Signs Are the Least Likely to Marry

Aquariuses make exceptional friends, but their need for freedom combined with their fear of emotional intimacy often keeps them from getting married, Joshua MacGuire ("Joshua the Psychic"), LA astrologer, speaker, and workshop facilitator, explained to POPSUGAR. They're more attuned to the needs of the world, which makes it challenging for them to focus on just one individual person, so it'll really take a special someone to get them to settle down.

"Sagittarians are typically wanderers, embodying the 'rolling stone gathers no moss' philosophy," Joshua said. "They tend to be stricken by wanderlust, which makes marriage difficult, as they tend to see the grass as always greener on the other side." Because they love to travel and don't do well with routine, they also might become bored in relationships fairly quickly.

"Given to perfectionism, Virgos are always trying to improve themselves, others, processes, everything," he continued. Often they'll kid themselves into thinking that once everything is "sorted" they'll marry, but since nothing ever seems good enough for them, marriage is forever put on the back burner. Letting go a bit is a wise move for Virgo in order to let love in.

Geminis love dating, going places, and having fun, but when it comes to tying the knot, they're often tentative. "Part of this is because in deciding on one person, it cancels out all other options, and Geminis really love their options," Joshua said. Geminis also get bored very easily, so it's hard for them to consider committing to one person until the end of time.

Pisces are incredibly romantic and imaginative. "When it comes to settling down with someone, the truth about the other person's humanness may be too tough for them to bare," he explained, adding that Pisces can be wishy-washy, not necessarily sure where they stand and often mistaking others' needs for their own. They know this about themselves, which tends to make them skittish when it comes to marriage.

Aries are known for their independence and doing what they want, when they want, and how they want to do it, and this mentality isn't always possible when in a marriage. "By the same token, they want someone who thinks the world of them (and everyone else can go to hell), which makes marriage a sensible option for them," Joshua said. So, Aries's best bet is to negotiate a bit more and be patient when needed.

As the extremists of the zodiac, if a Scorpio is in love, they'll want to take that love to the limit, which means marriage. "If, however, they're lukewarm about their love, it's unlikely they'll stay, let alone combine resources with that person," Joshua continued. "With Scorpios it's all or nothing, which puts them in the middle when it comes to marrying or not marrying."

Capricorns like to have everything in order, including their personal lives, and they veer toward traditional roles that fit in with society. So, marriage is pretty likely. "They also often see marriage as something that raises their status and helps their ability to 'keep up with the Joneses,'" he explained. "They also want to be a strong contributor to society, which is sometimes made easier being part of a pair."

The sign of the zodiac with a royalty complex wants it all and has no time for less, which makes them likely to marry. Leos love romance and teamwork, too, which makes marriage for them extremely fulfilling. "Ruled by the heart, it's easier for them to focus their love and direct it to one person, which makes them usually keen on marriage," he said.

Tauruses are the traditionalists of the zodiac, which makes marriage for them a no-brainer. Tauruses also have a karma with "need," where they tend to be needy or need to be needed, which makes marriage an attractive option for them. "They like consistency and stability, so when they find someone they get on well with, they want to stabilize it with the institution of marriage," Joshua explained.

"Ruling the House of Home and Family, a Cancer is very much inclined to marry, as they usually want the home, white-picket fence, two kids, etc.," he said. "They love taking care of others and being taken care of, so marriage matches their emotional ideals." Very protective and private, Cancers like to give and receive love in a dome-like environment, which marriage can provide. Think of it as their own little bubble.

"Balance is partnership to a Libra — they even rule the House of Marriage in astrology — so they are most likely to marry," he said. They usually like nothing more than being partnered up and sharing their lives with another person, and from big weddings to domestic dramas that rival those in soap operas, Libras love everything that comes with marriage. The good and the bad.
