Some need me time, and some don't.
By Meaghan Summers — Written on May 27, 2019
There are two types of people in the world: The extroverts and the introverts.
The extroverts thrive on socialization whereas the introverts need their alone time. Although there are times we all fall in between extraversion and introversion, we often lean towards one or the other, and our zodiac sign is a big reason for that!
Astrology can tell us a lot about our tendencies to want to be alone or with other people, so we should pay attention to it.
Wanting personal space to spread your legs out and recharge in the privacy of your own company is just as great as wanting to spend most days with friends, family and other loved ones rather than by yourself.
Of course, it becomes a problem when you cannot tolerate being around people or being alone at all, but that’s the extreme.
Here's a ranking of each zodiac sign and where they fall on the me-time vs a desire to be close, per astrology.
The 7 zodiac signs who need the most personal space:
1. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You are sometimes hard to please, so you are best on your own. You enjoy working with your hands, cooking and zoning out to some nice music.
A quiet, peaceful home and a nice garden without the disturbances of other people is what recharges your metaphorical battery.
2. VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
You’re a bit shy, so you feel more comfortable in private environments. Spending an entire day by yourself, engrossed in the tedium of household chores is your idea of a good, productive day.
While you are incredibly loyal to those you do associate with, you prefer to be alone to enjoy nature and your own cleanliness.
3. SCORPIO (October 23-November 21)
Despite your love of lifelong friendships and deep connections with others, you need alone time to process your feelings.
Your romantic partners may think this is a destructive attribute, but you need to disappear into yourself to maintain meaningful relationships with others.
4. SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21)
As a person filled to the brim with wanderlust, you need your space to travel and explore. You cannot understand how couples can see each other every day and stay sane.
You need to feel like you have a life beyond the constraints of relationships, so freedom is your motivator. Unlike the other signs on this list, though, you’re still considered a major extrovert.
5. CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19)
Sometimes, you’re described as private person. Your family might get to know the real you and interact with you regularly, but you’re less likely to invite a date over for an intimate dinner.
Though, your mood can change so quickly that it’s hard to know when you want to be social or not. It’ll take a while to get to know you.
6. AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18)
Your desire to be alone often supersedes your desire to be in a relationship. Independence is a virtue for you, and you don’t want to deal with others’ company when traveling or making important decisions. After all, you’re not too fond of people who disagree with you (who is?).
7. PISCES (February 19-March 20)
The true loner, the only person content enough to just chill next to the music at a party instead of mingling. You create masterpieces of art in your mind, so you often prefer to be alone with your thoughts than with others out in public.
This doesn’t mean you don’t like people, but you know the real value of being alone. When you’re ready, you’ll reach out to your significant other.
The 5 horoscope signs who can never get enough of you and come across as clingy:
8. ARIES (March 21-April 19)
You love social gatherings — if for no other reason than the possibility of competition that they provide.
Friends and family often describe you as the life of the party because you take charge of exciting group events outside of and at work. In relationships, you’re sometimes clingy, constantly asking to do something together.
9. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Talking is a necessity. Intellectual discussion is what recharges you and gets you ready for another day.
You treat romantic relationships as an opportunity to talk with someone 24/7 about everything and anything. It’s your way of expressing your affection, so your partner has to get used to regular texts and phone calls.
10. CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You are usually dating someone, and your current partner will go everywhere you go.
Having someone to love is essential to you, so you seek out opportunities to spend even more time with them. You grow attached to people quickly and only rarely let them go.
11. LEO (July 23-August 22)
Being admired is important to you, and your partner must understand that you need near-constant attention to feel satisfied with yourself and the relationship.
Although you exude self-confidence, you hate being ignored and can become a bit possessive when it comes to your partner’s time. Of course, you will lavish your partner with love and gifts, too.
12. LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
You cannot be alone. Seriously. You can’t handle it. You know that humans are social beings, and you don’t deny that you’re social.
When dating, you can always be found attached to your partner’s hip. It’s not that you force your partner to accept you being there; it’s that you date people who believe in complete cooperation as well.
