Being free is being able to do what you want without any consequences.
By Katrina Harris — Written on Apr 17, 2020
Some zodiac signs are known for their strong personality traits. They love freedom, and when it comes to love, they don't want to give it up.
For example, Aries has a strong personality. Leo is known for their leadership, Gemini and Sagittarius may flirt with you, but they won't give up their freedom for love.
What does freedom mean to you when it comes to love and relationships?
According to lexico.com, Freedom is “the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved”.
Sometimes, when it relates to love and relationships — especially if you have an independent personality — it might feel like you’re imprisoned.
When your relationship feels controlling, you want out.
For all zodiac signs, when we are in love, we tend to cling to the person we love most. Some horoscopes aren't okay with that.
They don't want to lose their own identity to become wrapped up in a relationship.
Trying to find the perfect balance of personal freedom and commitment while in a relationship can be a difficult task.
In a relationship, it's best to have respect for each other’s individuality and personal space.
There are many definitions that apply to freedom in relationships and love.
As people, we all have our own views on freedom when it comes to love.
People define freedom in a variety of ways, and often it's based on how they grew up.
How do you define your freedom in relationships?
Parents often model what works in relationships.
Some zodiac signs could come from a family whose parents are completely dependent on each other.
A mom was the stay-at-home parent who cared for the children and house while the dad worked.
Their idea of love is traditional. Today, these situations can translate the dad making the bulk of the family income.
In extreme situations, the problem with that is he might become controlling or selfish, which can create a lack of personal and financial freedom for the mother.
Some zodiac signs will never give up freedom for love.
Some independent personality types felt controlled as children.
So, when these zodiac signs reach adulthood, they feel that no one should be controlled by a partner.
They see giving up their freedom as a risk, which can result in problems in the relationship.
Love should be uniting, not controlling and no one needs to become less independent for someone else.
Controlling your own destiny but not your partner is a double win that can happen when both partners work hard at it.
Here's which zodiac signs are too independent to give up their freedom for love, per astrology.
