4 Zodiacs Who Just Need Some Space This Week (October 16 – 22)

Life can get overwhelming. You have so many responsibilities, so many chores, and a bunch of people who might rely on you. And you feel like if you take a break, you might let them down. Or maybe you’re just tired or sad and would prefer to recharge away from others, on your own, alone. Whatever the case, the following four zodiac signs need some serious space this week. If you’re one of these signs, don’t be afraid to ask for it. And if you know one, give them the space they need, no questions asked.

Gemini

As much as you like to have an active social life, it can be exhausting sometimes. With all the Halloween and spooky season events that have been going on, you might be spread a little thin. It’s okay to take a break right now. You won’t lose friends if you bow out of an event this week or change your mind on something. Your real friends will freely accept that you need a little space and will be more than happy to give it to you. Anyone who doesn’t isn’t even worth worrying about.

Leo

You’re the type to “suffer in silence.” If something is bothering you, people in your life are usually completely unaware. But that can get exhausting, can’t it? When you’re always putting a smile on your face, regardless of how you actually feel, you’re doing yourself a huge disservice. This week, stop bottling everything up and just let it go. You’ll have a much easier time doing that if you take a break from everyone and just get some space. Go for a no-judgment zone and let it all out.

Sagittarius

Since you’re usually down for anything, that makes some people in your life feel like they can have access to you 24/7. Truth is, even you need space sometimes. Being alone actually feels great, you just don’t do it as often as you’d like or should. This week, say no to adventures as they come up and say yes to the self-care that you’ve been avoiding lately. There’s always next week if people really want you to do something with them.

Capricorn

While you love being around your inner circle, you have a hard time separating yourself from the dramas of your friends and family. If they’re going through something, your A+ empathy makes you feel it all along with them. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by that energy this week, take a step back and ask for space. Sometimes you just need a bit of alone time to reset and feel better.
