Introduction
Emotional needs are part of being human.
They may include the need for:
- closeness
- personal space
- reassurance
- clarity
- recognition
- consistency
- privacy
- rest
- practical support
- freedom to choose
- respect for a boundary
- time to understand a feeling
Astrology can offer a symbolic language for reflecting on these needs.
It cannot prove what another person feels.
It cannot tell you what someone owes you.
It cannot replace a direct question.
People of the same zodiac sign may need very different things.
A person’s emotional needs are shaped by experience, culture, personality, stress, health, confidence, family patterns, current circumstances and the relationship itself.
Use each sign description as a possible question.
Then let the person answer in their own words.
