Becoming a commitment-phobe can happen for all sorts of reasons, but for some, it's just an aspect of their personality. And for those who believe the stars might have something to do with how people operate in this world, understanding the zodiac signs who are afraid of commitment can provide some insight into what falling in love with this kind of person might look like. Looking for commitment in a relationship simply isn't a priority for everyone. And for some, it's a goal, but an exceedingly rare thing. "Not everyone looks for a commitment," astrologer Cindy Mckean tells Bustle. "For some people, being single and independent allows them magical freedom of expression that they feel they c

From October 5 to November 17, Venus is retrograde. As the planet that represents all things beautiful: art, pleasure, wine, harmony, indulgences and love, this particular retrograde is bound to affect everyone until its retrograde comes to an end and it moves back into its orbital path. Although Scorpio, Libra, Taurus, and Aries are likely to feel Venus retrograde more than the other signs, that doesn't mean everyone else is off the hook — which can be a good thing. "For Venus in particular, right before its retrograde period, it's an 'evening star' which can be seen in the sky around sunset," astrologer and psychic, Cindy Mckean, tells Bustle. "During the retrograde period, Venus disappear

When you're in a relationship with someone, you get to know them really well. Still, even if you have found a nice routine of treating each other well, finding new ways to show your partner you love them is still important to keep the romance alive. If you aren't sure what kind of out-of-the-box acts of love are right for your partner, though, the zodiac might have some answers. You may have already explored different ways to connect with your partner, like learning their love language, or understanding your own attachment style, but when it comes to treating your partner well, it can be healthy for your relationship to keep looking for creative new ways to express yourself.

As much as some might scoff at the idea of astrology, there's certainly an argument to it. If we, as humans, are made of the same elements as stars and planets, it would seem almost silly to dismiss the fact that we're all interconnected. And, according to a 2017 study 150,000 stars, humans and the galaxy are absolutely made of the same stuff — 97 percent of the same stuff to be exact — so it would make sense that the placement of the planets, moons, and stars affect humanity in one way or another. "Astrology has a far reaching history," astrologer and psychic, Cindy Mckean, tells Bustle. "Markings on bones and cave walls recording cycles of the moon were found dating back as far as 25,000 y

Many of us are guilty of committing sins every now and then. But when it comes to relationships, it is important to be mindful of these mistakes because certain transgressions can get you into a lot of trouble. Fortunately, astrology can help you recognize which sins you're more likely to commit in your relationships so you can avoid problems in the future. Relationship sins are things you and your partner do that basically create negativity, block connection, and cause issues in your partnership. According to astrologer Cindy Mckean, these can be certain traits, habits, or actions that your relationship should be without. This can look like lines that are crossed and sometimes even dealbrea
