What You Fear The Most, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Aries

(March 21st to April 19th)

An Aries is conflicted all the time. They want adventure, but they also want peace. They don’t want a boring life, but they want to make sure that their relationships and companionships are long lasting and not just fleeting. Their insecurity causes them to live in perpetual fear of being broken up with, or left by a best friend.

Taurus

(April 20th to May 21st)

A Taurus is very grounded and reliable, they crave harmony in their life. Therefore, they are terrified of being outside of their comfort zone, and they fear inconsistency the way some people fear physical things like snakes or spiders. The idea of being challenged comfort wise causes acute problems for a bull, like chest pain, and emotional meltdowns.

Gemini

(May 22nd to June 21st)

The main facet of any Gemini personality is expression. Therefore, they often fear not being able to express themselves fully. They are scared that they will be blocked from following their passions, and often worry that they aren’t as talented or intelligent as they think they are.

Cancer

(June 22nd to July 22nd)

A Cancer deeply fears rejection. Due to having so many feelings, and due to being so emotionally sensitive, the Cancer has a large capacity to love. They fear never being able to find someone who can handle all of what they have to offer, and they fear putting their heart out there just to have it turned down.

Leo

(July 23rd to August 22nd)

Though the Leo presents to the world this idea of a fearless leader, the Lion fears that it will be undervalued and under-appreciated. The fear of being unnoticed runs very deep in the Leo, and their insecurity sometimes knocks them right off their feet.

Virgo

(August 23rd to September 22nd)

Virgos hate chaos. They genuinely fear it. They like being on time, and they like order. When things are not efficient and orderly, a Virgo is terrified.

Libra

(September 23rd to October 22nd)

Libras fear confrontation, and they will do absolutely everything in their power to keep things harmonized. They strive to make people happy. Libras are terrified of causing other distress, and hurting the feelings of those around them. They never want to upset people, and it really scares them to think that they could potentially say something or do something and unintentionally stress someone out.

Scorpio

(October 23rd to November 22nd)

Scorpios fear failure and disappointing those they care most about. They are wildly insecure inside when it comes to certain things, and they fear that they will not live up to the expectations they set out for themselves, and the dreams they foster. Above all else, Scorpios fear vulnerability, and they are afraid of others knowing their deepest feelings.

Sagittarius

(November 23rd to December 21st)

Due to their neverending energy, a Sagittarius often fears being controlled. They desire to explore, to adventure and to live as freely as possible. They are terrified of settling for a life that is not filled with all of those things, and they cannot stand the idea of being trapped in mediocrity.

Capricorn

(December 22nd to January 20th)

A Capricorn’s main goal is to achieve everything they have ever dreamed of. They are full of ambition and motivation, and their drive is inspiring. Underneath it all, however, they are extremely scared that they are not good enough or talented enough to meet their expectations. They often fear that no one understands what they are trying to do with their life.

Aquarius

(January 21st to February 18th)

The one thing that an Aquarius fears the most would be isolation from their loved ones. They truly hate the idea that one day the could lose those close to them, and completely get cut out of the life of someone who they consider important.

Pisces

(February 19th to March 20th)

To a creative and sensitive Pisces, criticism is a terrible thing. They fear confrontation to the point of needing to run away from it in order to avoid being called out or hurt. They simply cannot handle judgement.
