Which Zodiac Signs Are Most Likely to Be Hermits

Capricorn and Aquarius are often considered most suited to solitude. Capricorns value independence and work hard alone, while Aquarians enjoy independence and may prefer minimal social contact, making them comfortable being hermits if they choose.

I'm an aqua female and I've always been hermit-like. . .which has long been curious to me, given how social the sign is traditionally.

Pisces. Those people are independent. They can stay alone forever with just their thoughts and shit they like to do.

One Pisces guy I know, across the street from me- during Hurricane Sandy, he just broke out his camping gear and acted like he was camping- he has a camping stove, sleeping bags. He loved it! lol.

Scorp's Pisces best friend has never had a girlfriend. He spends his days in the gym and playing video games, reading comics, etc. If he had a gaming system and home gym I don't think he'd ever need to leave the house.

Well they could watch movies on Netflix. Don't have to leave for that. And moonshine is easy to make. lol. I suppose they would have to eat, but they could get delivery or grow their own food.

As a Capricorn woman, i could never be a hermit. i have a hard time staying in the house. I love to work, I love interacting with my students at work, I love having people to tell my stories to. I think that is why I love teaching, I get paid to talk all day and I have a captive audience! lol.

As a Pisces like living like a hermit 75% of the time, but the remaining 25% I'm looking for company.
Both my parents are aquarius and they spent years living like real hermits, not meeting any people, almost no friends, at home all the time. But when they're in society, they are extremely social, it's like a switch that they can flip at will.

I'm a Cap, I hate people, I don't like all the niceties that come with interacting with folk, I like to live in my head and don't want anyone messing with my shit. I could do it 🙂

Oh, and I would love to live in a place that looked similar to this:

Although I want a windmill and a waterwheel to go along with it!

What are your thoughts? Which sign could live alone, have no contact with the outside world and be happy?

My vote is either Cappy or Aqua.

Capricorn is the least likely to be a hermit because they need society to feel good about themselves, imo.

I vote for Pisces. They can easily get detached from the world and some of them are very independent.

Aquarius, scorpio, taurus & pisces..these are the people I know & all are loners. I too LOVE to be alone. I even remove the key from the door & switch off my phone for no reason other than being irritable when I dont get my alone time. I can stomach being around people for about 2 times a week before I say 'this is it!'. I'm getting better thou because before I used to give people the wrong house/phone # because I feared being 'disturbed' by unwelcomed guests- I still pretend to be not home thou when I dont feel like people.

lildol's got the right idea! people suck! 😄

mine would have an outdoor aviary for my birds c:
*frolics in daydreams*

YES!! Oh, I want birds, deer, running water - under the house with a glass floor over it and fish, now that would be cool! Love all things nature 😄

I'd have to be a hermit, people would think I was weird if they saw me talking to all the animals 😛

Caps need society to an extent....

Look at this list of 10 most reclusive celebrities.

Earth signs dominate this list. Only other sign mentioned are 2 Cancers, and a Sag.

I like polite society but I just find other people a waste of time and draining. I need to be doing something or thinking about something uninterrupted.

Forums are great. I can control some of the interruptions. I could be a hermit as long as I could have a stable online connection.

Like DXP 😛

Capricorn, Cancer & Pisces

My Cap bff and I held up for a whole year, once!

It can come and go with Cancers, I think. I can hermit for a long time.... but will need people around to change the energy... if only to look forward to solitary again.

Most of the Pisces I know don't get out much

I can't speak for other signs but I feel as an Aqua I am half and half to the extreme. The older I get the more I want to be left alone. When I'm social I'll talk to everyone and everything (yes even non living things) and when I want to be left alone, don't bother me or all hades will bust loose. I feel and think of myself as being more introverted even though I've been told I'm extroverted. I think the ones that say I'm an extrovert don't know the 'real' me. 🙂

haha!! just some useless information i picked up lol i have a deep love of animals and know quite a few useless facts about different species..

the european starling, or "mocking bird", was introduced to the US by some nutso Shakespeare freak who thought it to be a great tribute to the late writer by releasing a flock in central park decades ago.. what he didn't think about was the havoc it would wreak on our ecosystem and native animals. they're everywhere now and considered an invasive species and agrucultural pest lol

I wouldn't consider the person a nutso, they really wanted to BLESS the US with the Starling. Also, Beethoven was enthralled with the Starlings song and varied melodic abilities and had a pet Starling. Did Beethoven's pet Starling contribute to his work, probably so. Starlings are quite amazing and very intelligent. You can actually teach them to talk. I raised one from about 10 days old last year. Although they make great interactive pets I decided to release him. They say that doesn't work and they die as a result of not being "taught" properly, last I saw him he was flying away with another flock. It was rather humorous for a while when he would come back and land on my shoulder. The neighbors think I'm nuts. I have one who sits in the tree near my yard, when I call him he talks to me, IDK if it is mine, but I'd like to think so 🙂

I also had a teenage crow at one point who was also quite the sweetie and highly intelligent. Was sitting on my shoulder only after a few hours. Once I learned they need a half pound of bugs a day I turned him over to the bird sanctuary though (rode on my shoulder in the car the whole way there lol). Crows can also learn to talk.

In any case, as for similarities btwn Starlings and Mocking Birds, I am not sure of their exact differences. However, unlike the European Starling, the Mocking Bird is Native to the US. It is also a highly intelligent bird. I would venture to guess you can also teach them to talk as well. Their ability to mimic other sounds gives me warm fuzzies LOL They indeed mimic other birds, but many other sounds as well. There was one over at the race track last year that would sit atop the light pole and make the sound of the warning siren for when a jockey or horse was down. Always made me smile 🙂

I surely could, hell I've been even fantasizing about it. So aquas for sure.
Has no one ever seen that movie Into the wild? Or read the book?
It's about a guy who leaves everything behind to go and live alone in Alaska. True story.
It was an aquarius of course.
I think cancers and virgos also make good candidates.

I'm a cancer and I love being alone without other people. Although many times I wish I had a pet so I'm not completely alone. Don't know if that makes a difference. I do have two plants though. A big beautiful hibiscus ? and a tiny mean cactus ? that I hate because it hurts me every time I water it.
