Aries:

March 21 – April 20

The one who tries to quiet you. You are filled with energy and light; you don’t need to surround yourself with anyone who tries to tell you you’re ‘too much,’ or that you need to be anything less than the bold, beautiful being you are.

Taurus:

April 21 – May 21

The one who isn’t loyal. You have a guarded heart; when it comes to letting someone in, you are patient and take your time because you want to make sure their intentions are pure. You don’t need to be around anyone who doesn’t take you seriously, or doesn’t see the value in respecting relationships.

Gemini:

May 22 – June 21

The one who doesn’t stimulate you. You are curious, always wanting to learn, absorb, and discover new things. This year, distance from anyone who tries to stamp out your inquisitive nature, who bores you, or who doesn’t inspire you to be your best self/share your thoughts. Life is too short to be with someone who isn’t interested in who you truly are.

Cancer:

June 22 – July 22

The one who doesn’t understand the depth of your heart. Relationships are of utmost importance to you, and when it comes to people you love, you hold tightly. This year, remove anyone who sees your love as ‘clingy,’ or ‘pathetic’ because you’re anything but. Surround yourself with people who value you, and know that you love with all you have.

Leo:

July 23 – August 22

The one who shuts you down. It’s in your Leo nature to be bold, to take charge, to be proud—these are things to celebrate, not wish to change. This year, distance from people who continually shut you down or make you feel as if you aren’t a good person, simply because you’re more self-aware and self-confident than they are. Self-love is not something to be ashamed of.

Virgo:

August 23 – September 22

The one who continually tries to change you. You are a sign that’s comfortable on his/her own. You have no problem being your own biggest fan, making your own decisions, and spending time alone. This year, distance from anyone who doesn’t respect that side of you, who continually tries to mold you into something that fits their needs. You are you, and you don’t have to apologize for that.

Libra:

September 23 – October 22

The one who always puts their needs before yours. You are a self-sacrificing sign. You put others first because you care, because that’s how you’ve always been. But this year, create space from anyone who takes advantage of that. Anyone who doesn’t value you, or who is continually selfish to your selfless is not anyone you need to be around.

Scorpio:

October 23 – November 21

The one who brushes off your feelings. You are a water sign; it’s in your nature to feel, and feel deeply. This year, remove anyone who disregards this, or makes you feel bad for having an emotional side. There is nothing wrong with being empathetic; don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Sagittarius:

November 22 – December 21

The one who forces you to follow his/her rules. You are an adventurer. You flourish with freedom, exploration, and making your own rules. When it comes to relationships, you need someone who will encourage you to be yourself, and will learn and grow alongside you. This year, distance yourself from anyone who is continually trying to force you to be someone/something you’re not. You must decide for yourself who you will become.

Capricorn:

December 22 – January 20

The one who only lives for today. There is a difference between ‘living in the moment’ and celebrating what’s happening now and totally disregarding anything future-focused. You are a sign that cares about what’s to come. You’re prepared, smart, and driven. This year, distance from anyone who doesn’t respect that about you, anyone who doesn’t care about their future (or future with you) and anyone who shames you for being focused on what’s to come, or living logically.

Aquarius:

January 21 – February 19

The one who sucks your energy. You give, give, and give. You are so generous, always lending a helping hand, always putting other people first. This year, take pride in your kind heart, and remove yourself from relationships or people who only take from you.

Pisces:

February 20 – March 20

The one who sees you as dramatic, or ‘too much.’ You are a thinker, a feeler. Everything you experience, you take to heart, and yes, sometimes you can be a bit emotional or sensitive—but these are good traits, not negative ones. This year, remove yourself from anyone who treats you as if you should apologize for the emotional person you are. You have a big heart, a deep mind, and a soul that feels everything. Don’t be ashamed of that. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
