5 Zodiac Signs That Need A Lot Of Freedom In Their Relationships

Aries are very single-minded people. As Terry O'Connor, astrologer and writer, tells Bustle, "They're confident, believe in themselves, and their own decisions." While they will love and support you in a loving relationship, they're also completely fine being on their own. Once they make the decision to move on, they will. "Aries are as loyal as the next person," O'Connor says. "But if (and when) they need to grow, they'll go off on their own accords, even if it means that they distance themselves from their partner or loved ones."

Gemini signs are Mercury-ruled, so they're known to be the social butterflies of the zodiac. "They live life on the breeze and like the freedom and ability to do so," O'Connor says. "Sometimes known as fickle or fair-weather, these folk can agree to make plans with you, unless they smell an opportunity to do something else." They're very social and can talk to you about anything. But unless they're really into you, they tend to keep their space emotionally. If you keep things interesting, they'll come back. But as O'Connor says, "Like a butterfly, they just want to bounce from flower to flower."

When it comes to relationships, Virgos are as stability-loving as any Earth sign. But they're also constantly looking to better themselves. According to Robyn, they're very "self-contained" and busy seeking perfection, which can only be found when they're alone. If you're dating a Virgo, it's important to listen, encourage them, and then give them space to do whatever they need to do. They'll appreciate you for it.

"Sagittarius is ruled by larger than life Jupiter, the biggest planet in Space," O'Connor says. "With that says, this wild sign loves freedom more than other signs of the zodiac." Like anyone, they can meet someone and fall in love. They can have a close and intimate relationship with their partner. But they can also go days without talking or checking in. "If you're dating a Sagittarius or thinking about it, just know that they need their own life and adventures as well as the ones with their prospective partner," O'Connor says. If you keep that in mind, you should be fine.

Aquarius requires a lot of space to recharge and reconnect. "Not the most romantic of signs, this rebellious zodiac sign of the zodiac values personal freedom," O'Connor says. "They have their own way of expressing and showing their love and do it in their own time." They can make good partners and great friends. They're also Fixed signs, so they're pretty loyal. If you want things to work with them, you need to be OK with their schedule. They tend to do things on their own time.

Freedom may seem like the one thing you can't have when you're in a relationship. But that's not necessarily true. These zodiac signs may value their sense of independence, but it doesn't mean that they won't make great partners. If you can understand your partner's need for freedom and you're completely fine with it, your relationship can work.
