4 Zodiacs Who Need To Set Stronger Boundaries In 2023

Anyone who has relationships with people, whether it’s romantic, platonic, or familial, need to set boundaries. Although they can sometimes be difficult to enforce, healthy boundaries keep you happy and healthy when dealing with others. Some signs are great at making and enforcing boundaries (I’m looking at you, Scorpio), but others could use a little help. These four signs should make a resolution to set stronger boundaries in 2023.

Aries

There are areas of your life where you’re great at setting boundaries. You don’t mind telling family when they need to respect your personal time, or letting friends know that you won’t be available for every favor they ask. The trouble arises once you fall in love. You fall easily and with abandon, and while that’s a gorgeous trait of yours, it also means that you’re often blinded by that love. You let your partners walk all over you, much to the annoyance of your friends and family. Remember that your comfort and happiness should matter just as much as the happiness of the person you’re in love with. Don’t lose sight of yourself, Aries!

Cancer

You know how important boundaries are. And yet…although you set them all the time, enforcing them is another story. If you feel like anyone you’re setting boundaries with feels bad about it, it’ll be damn near impossible for you to keep it up. You don’t want to hurt people’s feelings after all. Sure, you didn’t want to be called or texted after 10 PM unless it was an emergency, but you hate to hear the sadness in your mom’s voice when you say something about it. Here’s the thing: Enforcing boundaries is hard and takes work. It doesn’t always feel good in the moment, but it’ll be better for you in the long run.

Libra

You pride yourself in your empathy and the way you treat your friends. Everyone loves you, so you might be worried that the love will stop if you set even super healthy boundaries. Instead, you’d rather be known as the person who would do anything for any one of their many friends. No boundaries for you! But that isn’t the positive trait you think it is. For instance, if you don’t like hugs, your friends won’t stop loving you just because you want to enforce a no-hugging rule. At least, the true friends, the ones who love you for who you are, will continue to have your back.

Pisces

You’ll make boundaries. You’ll even enforce them. For a little while anyway. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, you’ll completely forget about the boundary you set. It isn’t your friends and family who are breaking your boundaries–it’s you. You might have a boundary where you don’t want to spend a bunch of time gossiping about people, but then some drama happens and you’re there with popcorn, ready to dish about it for hours or days. In the end, your boundaries are mostly for yourself, and you’re the one breaking them. Perhaps 2023 will be the year you set more realistic and doable boundaries that you’ll actually follow.
