Independent Zodiac Signs

How Independent Are You According to Your Zodiac Sign?

Are you comfortable being alone, or do you prefer to be surrounded by people? In school, did you dread group work or welcome it?

Our desire to be independent is one of the many traits that the Zodiac can reveal. Find out where your Sun Sign ranks below!

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Being alone is your least favorite thing, Pisces. Although you tend to be lost in thought even when other people are around, the idea of being completely isolated makes you feel anxious.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

While it might actually be good for you to get more “me” time, Cancer, you’re very much a people person. You are very dependent on others… one might even say codependent.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Aries, you are a pack creature at heart. You like to be part of a group of people who think, feel, and act as you do. Being a lone wolf just isn’t part of your nature.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Leos need an audience. Without your adoring public, you feel a bit lost. Most Leos are extroverts who get their energy from being around others, so it’s no surprise that being alone leaves you feeling flat.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Although you’re happy to go adventuring on your own, Sagittarius, you prefer to be around people. You have the unique ability to make friends wherever you go, so you never have to be alone.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Libra, you’re pretty neutral on this matter. You don’t mind being alone, but you also enjoy spending time with other people. Honestly, you’re not sure what all the fuss is about when it comes to introverts vs. extroverts.

Capricorn (December 23-January 20)

Capricorn, you tend to have a fairly balanced view of things. You’re neither stubbornly independent nor helplessly codependent. You ask for help when you need it, but you don’t often ask for permission.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Taurus would rather do things for themselves–even if that means you take on too much work or too difficult challenges. Your independent streak veers into stubbornness pretty frequently. Remember that other people are willing to share the load.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The great thing about Gemini is that you can entertain yourself. You also have confidence in your ability to learn new skills (as long as you have internet access), so you typically fix things on your own.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Virgos tend to want to do everything themselves–perfectly, of course. But your desire to be independent is actually hurting you in the long run. It’s okay to ask for help and delegate tasks.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Who needs society when you can follow your own path? Aquarius is a supremely independent sign, with little regard for what anyone else thinks. Unfortunately, this trait makes it hard for you to form close relationships at times.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

No man is an island, but Scorpio comes close. You’re so independent that it doesn’t even occur to you to lean on other people for support. Being self-sufficient isn’t a bad thing–but isn’t it a little lonely on your island?
