How You’re Making Your Life Harder Than It Needs To Be, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Scorpio: You spend too much time on your phone and comparing and contrasting yourself to your peers. You don't know how to be truly happy with yourself and with your appearance because you're too busy looking into other people's lives. You have little to no self esteem, and you need to work on it ASAP.

Aries

(March 21st to April 19th)

You never take responsibility in your own actions, no matter how big or small these mistakes are. You don’t know how to own up to your mistakes because it causes you so much angst. You need to be able to accept that you are a person, not a robot.

Taurus

(April 20th – May 20th)

As a Taurus you are a Type A at heart. Everything has to be perfect. Everything has to be just right. Your life has to be a fairytale. You don’t know the difference between reality and fantasy and as a result, you don’t know how to deal with the hard times in your life.

Gemini

(May 21st to June 20th)

You hold back on almost everything in your life. You fear the worst is yet to come and you never jump into anything impulsively. You have never experienced feeling free because you’re too caught up in what could go wrong and the ‘what ifs’.

Cancer

(June 21st to July 22nd)

When you mess up, you beat yourself up even when it’s not necessary to do so. You always feel like the worst person in the world, and no one can talk you of out that headspace. You don’t know how to be kind to yourself. You don’t know how to forgive yourself.

Leo

(July 23rd to August 22nd)

You constantly compare your life to others, even strangers! It’s incredibly unhealthy for your mental state, but you can’t help it. You see other people and wish you were living their life instead of yours.

Virgo

(August 23rd to September 22nd)

You never ever ask for help because you have too much pride. Even on your worst days, you have too much ego, that you can’t bring yourself to get help. You’re making life harder for yourself because you need to realize that everyone on this plant needs help, including you.

Libra

(September 23rd to October 22nd)

As a Libra, you don’t know how to balance your life out. Between friendships and significant others and your family, you become easily overwhelmed and completely isolate yourself instead of spending time with others. You don’t know what the value of time truly means.

Scorpio

(October 23rd to November 21st)

You spend too much time on your phone and comparing and contrasting yourself to your peers. You don’t know how to be truly happy with yourself and with your appearance because you’re too busy looking into other people’s lives. You have little to no self esteem, and you need to work on it ASAP.

Sagittarius

(November 22nd to December 21st)

You have issues with latching onto people and never wanting to let them go. You don’t know how to let go of people of people who don’t love you anymore and it causes you immense pain. You need to learn that not everyone in this world will love you. You need to learn how to let go of people who are only going to waste your time.

Capricorn

(December 22nd to January 19th)

There isn’t a positive bone in your body. All you do is complain and whine about anybody and everybody. You never see the positive silver lining to anything, and it’s causing you to be at your lowest point you could never even imagine.

Aquarius

(January 20th to February 18th)

You care more about others than you do for your own damn self. You focus on your loved ones with tremendous respect and love, but you leave yourself out of that equation. You need to learn how to love yourself and be whole by yourself, without needing to help other people.

Pisces

(February 19th to March 20th)

You are always in your own little bubble and have never lived outside of your comfort zone. you have so many dreams and inspirations, but you ever follow through with any of them. You need to learn how to take risks and take those leaps of faith! Thought Catalog Logo Mark
