Why You Read Your Horoscope, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

God & Man

Aries

(March 21 – April 19)

Even though you can be short tempered and are known for your go-getter personality, you are social butterflies at heart. What draws you to your horoscope is the prospect of conversation. You love being able to connect on the horoscope with friends and family who share the interest. You also love learning things that are quick and you like excelling at what you learn, so you click and read, preferably on the go.

Taurus

(April 20 – May 20)

You ended up here because one day you wanted to pass time while procrastinating and were curious. You are on a mission to the top, but you aren’t going to kill yourself to get there. You read these horoscopes, are surprised by how much you connect with it, shrug it off, and do it again. So I guess, in short, you read just because.

Gemini

(May 21 – June 20)

You mainly read on Zodiacs as they trend. You are drawn to being the life of the party, surrounded by people, and want to be in the know. But you switch it up often. Sometimes it’s the Zodiac, sometimes it’s not. You do you, and this is fun for now so you are here.

Cancer

(June 21 – July 22)

You are always sympathizing with someone else and sometimes you don’t feel like the same effort is extended to you. You don’t always feel understood but when you read your horoscope, in a weird way, you feel more understood. You are sentimental and attach emotionally to things that matter to you, so when you see that Zodiac works for you, you stick to it. Plus it’s good to read on not just your sweet emotions, but on your mood swings.

Leo

(July 23 – August 22)

You are drawn to power and control. When you read your horoscope, you are seeking out ways to better understand your world and how you work. You want to help as many people understand you as possible as well feeling like you have a sense of control over your life.

Virgo

(August 23 – September 22)

You are a perfectionist who is sweet and sometimes socially shy. You are also curious and desire to be and to stay happy above all. You find these articles to be amusing and sometimes really spot on. They make you happy (sometimes), and other times help you in your journey of correction and finding what else you would like to work on in yourself. Maybe let loose a bit as you read and just enjoy today.

Libra

(September 23 – October 22)

You are not down for confrontation, but you are more than okay with conversation and understanding yourself and the people around you. You come to read your zodiac and maybe a few others to see what can be done to keep the peace. This can make you come across and less genuine than you would desire.

Scorpio

(October 23 – November 21)

You are passionate, intense, and blunt. You are known as fierce and powerful, but even you have questions about who you are. You come to read about your type when life gets conflicting. You act like you don’t care, but you do. Sometimes you are inspired, sometimes you feel let down, either way… you’ll be back. Your reason may be more of a mystery to you than it actually is to others. You just want to know.

Sagittarius

(November 22 – December 21)

You need to know it all and then to feel the freedom to share it all. You are a floater. You go from place to place, you also learn that way. You need space, you need various outlets, various resources. Zodiacs are just one of your favorite things. You share your Zodiac knowledge openly and confidently whenever you feel like it and people generally respond well, so you enjoy reading about it.

Capricorn

(December 22 – January 19)

People are always surprised when they hear that you keep up with this. You just have a strong serious exterior. But on the inside, you wonder about deeper things. You seek out the future (you like to work to control it as best as you can), and sometimes the Zodiac gives your useful info. You use everything that you can to propel you forward, even horoscope articles.

Aquarius

(January 20 – February 18)

It’s likely that you are told more about your horoscope than you read on it. You love independence, hate being boxed in, and are not the most romantic person out there. You take pride in living a full life and separating from negative energy entirely. You only read these (and would never admit it) when it’s come up enough and you happen to come across an article headline that peaks your interest. So, you know more about your horoscope than your friends know that you know. Not that you’re ever going to tell them that.

Pisces

(February 19 – March 20)

You see the creative elements of the zodiac and you like it. You are drawn to the vibe of the horoscope and you like to imagine who in your life is what horoscope. You don’t take these things very seriously and forget them pretty quickly after reading, but you like to tune in. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
