4 Zodiacs Who Are About To Give Themselves Permission To Call It Quits

GEMINI

Gemini needs to be met halfway. They often take on more work than anyone else involved in a particular project, but they refuse to purposefully carry anyone along on their coattails who is looking for a free ride. When they realize someone is blatantly taking advantage of them, they’re not afraid to draw a line in the sand and walk away if necessary. The time has come to cut the dead weight and lighten their own load for a change. Gemini is capable of monumental tasks, but never shies away from the power to create their own to-do list. They know each and every project they sign up for or add their name to, and they don’t have time to get sucked into things that are a waste of their time. 

ARIES

Aries is learning to set boundaries. How to log off. How to unwind. Every day is not a marathon. There is a time to disconnect from work, and the more regular they make this schedule, the more refreshed they can be to tackle everything again the next day. The endless grind, grind, grind has taken a toll on them mentally and emotionally, and it’s time they learn to listen to a different voice inside them. The one that says that five o’clock is enough. The one that tells them they don’t have to drive themselves into the ground to be noticed or appreciated. To aim for “meets expectations” instead of always feeling they need to go above and beyond. 

PISCES

Pisces is going to stop putting effort into the thing that just won’t budge. Stop watering the plant that is perpetually dying. Stop texting the love interest that just can’t be bothered to ever initiate a conversation themselves. Stop trying to make friends with the grumpiest barista at the local coffee shop. They will give themselves permission to walk away from the unachievable task. To say, I’ve done my best, I gave this time to change, and it hasn’t. To accept the answers that the universe or individuals are consistently giving them. It’s okay to take no for that answer. We’ve not all door to door salesmen who live by the antiquated standard that if we knock enough times the door will open. Sometimes there’s no one at home.

LEO

Leo is quitting because they want to. The “thing” just isn’t for them. They don’t like it. It doesn’t matter if it’s guitar lessons, new jean trends, or their romantic relationship. They are giving themselves permission to walk away without needing to justify their reason to anyone. They don’t need any reason other than it’s the decision they want to make. They don’t owe it to anyone or anything to keep going with something that’s not the right fit for them. It’s taken them awhile to get into a mental headspace where they are able to accept this as fact, but now that they’re there, there’s no stopping them. They can finally shift their time and efforts into the things and places they truly feel passionate about.
