The key to a happy and healthy relationship for your zodiac sign.
By A.T. Nunez — Written on Sep 07, 2022
Being in a relationship opens up a mirror to your psyche. You learn a lot when you are in a partnership.
There comes a defining moment when you can even get a sense of who you are and what drives and motivates you.
During this process of re-learning yourself, you also discover what you can tolerate and what you can’t handle when you are in a relationship. It is why knowing and establishing relationship boundaries is essential since it is the best way to continue to grow and become better partners and people.
Your zodiac sign can give you good clues as to what some of the essential boundaries might be at an individual level and how understanding them can not only strengthen your relationships but serve as a catalyst for happiness.
The most important relationship boundaries for each zodiac sign
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries fear losing their independence when they are in relationships, which leads to capricious behavior. They should protect their boundaries by learning to curb their impulses.
Aries can fall in love easily or think they have met the one early on. When reality sets in, they end up disillusioned by a partner and shocked.
Learning to take their time getting to know the people they are interested in so they do not regret it, in the long run, will reinforce their boundaries.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
An important boundary for Taurus is feeling safe in their personal space and protected. They need a partner that respects their home and acknowledges that being in a relationship with them means sharing and doing tasks together.
When a partner is selfish and does not appreciate them, it can frustrate them. Loyalty and trust are essential in a relationship with a Taurus. If they can’t have that balance, they will walk away.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Communicating their needs and desires is a great way to protect Gemini's boundaries. Thinking the grass is always greener is a major obstacle for Gemini. Because they are great communicators, they should take their time to talk things out with their partners when they feel insecure.
Everyone deals with problems in their relationships, but ignoring them doesn’t help. Communicating freely about their expectations and fears can help the relationship last.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Protecting their boundaries and emotions by not being too accessible should be a priority for Cancers. They should learn to say no occasionally instead of trying to please their partners.
To feel fulfilled in a relationship, they want their partner to provide them with a sense of security and protection. However, they need to claim their independence and not be too codependent.
Finding time to rekindle a relationship with themselves could prove to be fruitful.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
A Leo can protect their boundaries by not idealizing someone early on and setting high expectations. They should also be true to themselves and not dim their light.
An evolved Leo will focus on emotional growth for success. For their relationships to thrive, a partner that loves them for who they are and encourages them is a wonderful recipe for growth and happiness.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgos could establish boundaries by stopping themselves from trying to find perfection in flaws. Virgos should also set boundaries by not trying to control everyone. If someone feels like a work project and is not willing to change, they should move on.
They will also feel more fulfilled in relationships when they trust themselves enough once they encounter happiness. Trust the process, don't overthink, and enjoy being in love.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Abandoning the need to feel valued by being in a relationship will be a great way to establish a boundary for Libras.
For Libras to find contentment in relationships, they must learn to have more ego. The zodiac sign represented by the scales needs to find balance. Learn to love in a way that is healthy and not an obsessive need for validation.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpios can protect their boundaries by not letting jealousy get the best of them. Scorpio is extremely loyal but trusting someone can be challenging. To feel fulfilled, they need to learn to let go. It is the way they will establish boundaries and protect their energy.
Once they bring the negativity from prior experiences into a relationship, it will only let mistrust and fear brew. Freeing themselves from past experiences can make them feel liberated.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius is a sign known for trying to escape when the relationship gets real. Before running off, Sagittarius should learn to let their partners know when they need a break or time alone to recalibrate.
Freedom is important for them and they will establish their boundaries by letting their partner understand this. Doing activities with a partner will strengthen the relationship and can help reconstruct stronger foundations.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
The sea-goat can establish boundaries by not self-sabotaging themselves in relationships. Capricorns must learn not to prioritize their job over their partner and not go silent when they feel wronged if they truly love them. They should work on their confidence to evolve.
Good ways to strengthen the relationship are: respecting, communicating, and valuing their partner.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius can establish boundaries by not letting friends dictate their romantic lives. In a relationship, they will feel happier when they work things out with their partner and not let other people get involved in their business.
There is also an innate fear of losing something they cannot control. They need a partner that encourages, respects, and cares for them. An evolved Aquarius will see a relationship as a team and not an independent project.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Feeling loved and cared for makes Pisces joyful in a relationship. A good way for Pisces to establish boundaries is through honesty and developing the courage to face the harsh reality when a connection is not going their way. They need to make sure not to put all their eggs in one basket.
To respect their boundaries, Pisces need to learn to logically analyze a situation and see if it works for them or not.
