These 3 Signs Are Most Likely To Be In A Love Triangle

Finding yourself in a love triangle is never easy, especially when you’re into two drastically different people. Think: Belly from The Summer I Turned Pretty, who is falling for a happy, golden retriever-type while also being hopelessly obsessed with a mysterious, brooding man.

While this situation can happen to anyone, certain zodiac signs are cosmically wired to end up in a love triangle. According to Theresa Reed, an astrologer and author of Twist Your Fate: Manifest Success with Astrology and Tarot, the three air signs definitely top the list.

Just like a breeze, these members of the zodiac can’t be contained. “Air signs need breathing room, especially in their relationships,” she tells Bustle. “If they don’t get that, they become restless and start to search for other exciting experiences. [It’s why they’re] most often the ones in the middle of triangles or other complicated situations.”

Air signs also have dynamic, exciting personalities that attract and get along with a wide variety of people. An air sign has the potential to be deep and poetic one moment and funny and outgoing the next. It’s why, like Belly, they can vividly picture their life leading in multiple directions, making it tough to choose.

Here are the three zodiac signs most likely to be in a love triangle, according to an astrologer.

Gemini (May 20-June 19)

It’s no secret that Geminis have a reputation for being flirty and fun. “These free-spirited charmers love to play the field,” Reed says. “Variety is the spice of life for them, so it’s no wonder they’re often seen juggling more than one person at a time.”

They’re also the sign of the twins, which represents their dual nature. It makes it easy for them to fall in love with two people at the same time, especially if they bring out a different side of their personality. Mercury-ruled Geminis also need constant mental stimulation. Not only do they have the time and energy to entertain a love triangle, but they also live for the drama, the constant texts, and the attention that comes with being in a love triangle.

Many times, their situationships are lighthearted and fun, like when they’re casually dating and talking to multiple people at once. But according to Reed, their propensity for love triangles can also occasionally land them in hot water. That’s why Geminis need to be upfront with the people they’re involved with to avoid hurt feelings.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 21)

Libra is represented by the scales, which means they’re always weighing pros and cons in their head. Even though they’re supposed to be decisive as a sign, it’s not uncommon for Libras to get stuck between two options in life, especially when it comes to love.

As a sign ruled by Venus, the planet of romance, Libras are obsessed with going on dates and searching for The One. They’re often out getting dinner and drinks, and that means the chance that they’ll fall in love with more than one person is always going to be high. They can romanticize anything, and often go home thinking they’re in love.

Libras also have an energy that attracts admirers wherever they go. Even if they don’t want to be in a love triangle, this fun, vivacious air sign typically has more than one person vying for their affection at any given time.

According to Reed, this sign wants to be wanted, and it can make for an intoxicating situation that leaves them stuck between two people. The person they end up with is often the one who puts in the most effort to win them over versus the mysterious person who plays hard to get.

Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 17)

Ask any Aquarius and they’ll likely say they’ve been in a love triangle at least once in their life. According to Reed, it’s because many prefer to be in a “friends with benefits” situation without any strings attached as opposed to something solid, predictable, and what they would call “boring.”

As a sign ruled by rebellious Uranus, it’s not uncommon for an Aquarius to get cold feet once a relationship starts to feel too serious. They also like to keep their options open, which means they swipe on apps, reach out to exes, and entertain multiple people at once. Just like that, the stage is set for a love triangle to form.

Aquarians are also very connected to their friend group. As they develop deep connections and spend lots of time together, it ups the chances that they’ll start to get feelings for someone they’ve known for ages. They could be dating someone and realize they’ve been in love with their BFF all along, and it often puts them in an awkward spot.
