We all know that 21st century dating can be tricky business, and with ghosters, catfish and heartbreakers around every corner, trust is a delicate notion.
Sadly, however, scientists have reportedly found that some of the most distrusting daters, who've even admitted to having snooped through their partners phones at times, tend to have one thing in common - their star signs.
Advert
For as long as astrologists have been studying the cosmos, horoscope followers have believed that certain personality traits are affiliated with certain star signs.
Aquarius' are independent creatives, Leos are passionate leaders and Taurus' are loyal but fiercely stubborn.
But what if we told you that your star sign could be holding you back from finding the one, after scientists discovered that some horoscopes have mistrusting tendencies which often pushes away potential lovers.
Sadly, it's true - and according to many astrologers, there are actually a grand total of five signs that are most likely to lose out of love due to their own self-sabotaging ways...
Scorpio
To anyone close friends with someone born between 23 October and 21 November, it won't come as a surprise to learn that Scorpios are typically deemed both passionate and intense.
Advert
Not that this is a bad thing - basically, they love hard.
The issue is, however, that due to their upfront, loyalty-valuing nature, they naturally crave transparency in the hope of finding someone to match their flow.
In this specific search, Scorpios can sometimes come across as demanding and probing, which might lead them to harbour some trust issues during the initial stages of romance, which might just lead them to swipe upon their partner's phone whilst they're taking a shower...
Virgo
Unlike Scorpios, daters born between 23 August and 22 September think with their minds, not their hearts.
Advert
Virgos are notoriously analytical thinkers, and though this can be hugely beneficial when it comes to making important decisions, it can also result in an often painful amount of overthinking.
These singletons tend to seek control and order, and as such, they can often smell deception a mile away.
Hence the mobile phone snooping...
Capricorn
Singletons born between 22 December and 19 January aren't too dissimilar to Virgos when it comes to relationship goals.
Advert
These daters naturally seek success in all aspects of their lives - at work, at home and in relationships.
Naturally, therefore, when things don't appear to be going their way, or their potential partner has given them a cause for concern, this must be fixed.
Their pragmatic approach to dating may convince them that checking through their partner's phone is the only means of confirming they're on the right track.
You can't blame them, really...
Gemimi
Gemini babies - born between 21 May and 20 June - are famed for their curiosity and inquisitiveness.
Advert
They're natural-born learners, who crave knowledge.
On top of this, however, some Geminis can display hints of impatience.
Therefore, what do you get when you cross these two qualities?
A phone-snooper.
Yes, they might argue that they were genuinely curious as to why their other-half spends so much time typing away.
They might, however, simply have an inkling of something suss, and wouldn't have been able to rest until that itch was scratched.
Pisces
Everyone has that one Pisces friend that's notoriously sensitive.
Whether that be in a way that sees them easily hurt, or in a way that makes them defence, these already self-critical souls are often either dwelling on or kicking off about their own insecurities.
Extreme sensitivity often goes hand-in-hand with distrust for daters born between 19 February and 20 March, therefore, which sees them often on the look out for things that could go wrong when it comes to relationships.
Their need for reassurance, security and adoration might just tip them over the edge, and lead them to snoop in their partner's mobile.
Pisces will likely instantly regret it - they'll either feel awful for having wrongfully mistrusted their other-half, or defensive for having found something suspicious.
So, really, you won't win with a Pisces...
