5 Zodiac Signs Who Value Independence In A Relationship

Some zodiac signs value their independence above almost all else and this need doesn’t dissipate when they’re in a relationship. You can still have a close, intimate relationship with someone who values independence, you just need to be aware that this is a driving force for some people more than others and learn not to take it personally when your partner pulls away a little and takes some space to do their thing. 

The worst thing you can do is stress and overthink and worst of all, take it personally and try to fix the problem. There doesn’t need to be a problem in order for someone to crave space… some people are just wired to need it more than others. 

These are the five zodiac signs that value independence to most: 

1. Aquarius 

Aquarians value independence strongly and need to feel a sense of freedom. They can be loyal and committed and wonderful partners, but they need a lot of space to be on their own and do their own thing and need a partner who accepts and respects that. 

An Aquarius is especially prone to withdrawing when they feel like there are too many expectations and demands being placed on them. It’s ok to express your needs to your Aquarius partner, but try not to do it in a threatening, imposing way. Express what you need in a way that gives them the freedom to choose it, rather than forcing it upon them which will make them resentful and cold.

2. Sagittarius 

No one loves their freedom like a Sagittarius! They are the explorers and world travelers of the zodiac. They are usually happy and fun … but nothing will make a Sag crankier than when someone imposes on their sense of freedom and adventure. A Sagittarius loves having their partner by their side for all their fun adventures, but they also need time on their own to decompress and be with their thoughts. 

A relationship with too many rules and restrictions is not one they’ll want to stay in for very long. But if you give them space, they will be the most amazing partner. 

3. Scorpio 

Scorpios are slow to fall in love and guard their heart intensely. But once they give in and choose to love, they go all in and are the most devoted and loyal partners. However, independence is vital to a Scorpio, especially in a relationship. They need to have a lot of time to themselves in order to stay centered. An unbalanced Scorpio is not a creature you want to deal with so try not to take their need for independence too personally and give them what they need without a fight. 

4. Aries 

Aries are super independent go-getters. They want to conquer the world and pursue their dreams. They love having someone along for the ride but also need a lot of space and time to themselves. Fortunately, Aries are known for being direct and blunt so there won’t be guessing games, they will tell you straight up when they need you to back off.

What will make you an even more attractive partner to man Aries is if you have your own life outside of the relationship, so try to make this a priority. If you rely too much on your Aries partner to fulfill your social needs, they will feel resentful.

5. Gemini 

Fun and fickle are two words often used to describe Geminis! While their flightiness can be frustrating, it also makes them exciting, spontaneous partners. But it also means they require space and independence in their relationships. They need the freedom to choose you, they don’t want to feel like they’re ever being backed into a corner. When you allow a Gemini to expand their wings, they are great partners.
