by someone who gets it
Hey you. Yeah, you—scrolling through your phone at 1am, wondering why your chest feels a little…empty lately. I see you.
If you’ve been feeling kinda off, weirdly distant, or like people just don’t get you lately, you’re not alone. (Well, you are… but not in a scary way.)
The stars have been doing that thing again—shaking stuff up and making a few signs feel extra isolated right now. Like, “do I even exist or am I just a ghost watching everyone else have fun?” kind of lonely.
Ugh. I know. I’ve been there too.
Let’s get into it.
Here are the 4 zodiac signs feeling the loneliest right now (and maybe why that is).
4. Virgo
Okay, I love Virgos. But y’all are doing that thing again—overthinking every text, assuming people are mad at you when they’re just…living their lives. You’ve been in hermit mode for a minute, and while that’s kinda your comfort zone, it’s getting a lil too quiet in there, huh?
And honestly? It’s not even that you want to be alone. You just don’t want to feel like a burden. You wanna be understood without having to explain every little feeling… which is fair. But babe, people can’t show up for you if you don’t let them in at least a little. Try texting someone back — not with a whole essay, just something small like “hey, kinda been in my head, but I’m here.” You might be surprised who’s been missing you too.
3. Sagittarius
I know, you’re usually the life of the party. But lately, it’s been like the party’s happening without you—and worse, you’re not even sure you want to go. This weird existential fog has been hovering over your usually free spirit, and honestly? It’s making you feel low-key invisible.
You keep telling yourself you’re “just busy,” or “just tired,” or in your “self-growth era,” but deep down? You’re craving someone who feels like home. Someone who doesn’t make you choose between freedom and connection. Your loneliness isn’t because you can’t fit in — it’s because you outgrew a version of yourself and now you’re not sure who’s coming with you next. That in-between space is uncomfortable, but it’s also where you figure out what you actually want.
2. Pisces
Sweet, dreamy Pisces…you’ve been feeling everything and everyone too much lately. And because you don’t wanna “bother” anyone, you’ve been retreating. Again. But let’s be real—your alone time stopped being healing and started feeling kinda hollow. Like, where’s the love you keep giving out?
You always say you’re fine, but your soul has been whispering, “I just want to be held for a minute.” You don’t need constant attention — you just want to feel safe with someone again. You give love like it’s sunlight, and you’re realizing not everyone knows how to hold something warm without dropping it. This lonely chapter? It’s not punishment. It’s you learning to wait for the people who can love you back the way you love them.
1. Aquarius
Yup. Big lonely energy. You’re used to being “the different one,” but it’s hitting different now. It’s like no one really gets you—and tbh, you’re starting to wonder if they ever did. You’re tired of being the strong, cool one who “doesn’t need anyone.” Because you do. And that’s okay.
You’re the person everyone goes to for advice, for strength, for perspective — but who does that for you? You’re exhausted from being “unbothered” all the time. You want emotional intimacy, but the thought of being vulnerable makes your stomach twist. This loneliness is your heart tapping your shoulder like, “Hey… can we let someone in now?” You don’t need a crowd — just one person who actually sees you. That’s enough. More than enough, actually.
If you saw yourself in any of these, take a breath. No shame in it. Loneliness comes in waves, and sometimes the stars just amplify what we’ve been ignoring.
Text that friend back. Say yes to the brunch invite (even if it’s a lil awkward). Or go sit in the park and people-watch with your headphones on. Just… don’t let the spiral win, okay?
We’re all floating through space together—even when it feels like we’re galaxies apart. 💫
If you wanna vent, or just drop your sign in the comments, I’m all ears. Let’s make this corner of the internet feel a little less lonely.
