Let’s face it. We all have character traits that aren’t exactly pleasant. At times, we let the less-than-stellar aspects of our personalities outshine some of the more positive aspects of ourselves. We are all human. It happens. The following is a read on the character adjustments that are suggested for all of the zodiac signs. This is all in good fun in the hopes of helping us identify the aspects of ourselves that are a bit trying. Continue to read on to find out what type of attitude adjustment you require based on your zodiac sign.
Aries is first, and it should come as no surprise that sometimes they can be a bit hot-tempered. This often results in angry outbursts that can remind you of a two-year-old having an epic meltdown. Now, don’t go shaming Aries about their brash, angry ways. They are ruled by the planet Mars and because of this, they can be violent and temperamental when things don’t go their way. Nevertheless, acting like a full-grown baby is not cute, Aries. It may be a character trait that you may want to consider refining so that you can find a mature way to handle frustrations.
Anyone that has ever dealt with a Taurus knows that they never listen to anyone. Even if they come to you for advice, it’s usually falling on deaf ears. They simply ask for advice to weigh what they already know they’re going to do against what you’re going to say. In the end, it really doesn’t matter what is said because Taurus is stubborn. Their heads are as hard as rocks. This is the one sign that has to learn the hard way because they never want to take good advice from anyone. That’s simply the way they are. Also, they tend to want to keep everything nice, and then when things don’t go quite the way they want, they hold on to anger trying to be pleasant until boom they explode. Stubborn as a bull is their model and it is very fitting.
Gemini-Fickle as Can Be
Oh, Gemini. Everyone expects you to be flighty and all over the place. This is because you usually are. Gemini is known as a jack of all trades and a master of none because they are always dipping their feet in numerous things but very rarely finish what they start. The goal is to collect information and share it which is what they do. At times, Gemini can seem disloyal because they’re all over the place. Being ruled by Mercury makes it difficult for them to settle down if they aren’t given a lot of space to just be who they are.
Cancer-Emotional Manipulator
Yes, Cancer can be the sweetest person you ever want to meet, but there is a very changeable side to this sign that you don’t really get to experience until you know them. Ruled by the moon, this sign is very connected to their emotions, and just like their crab symbol, they don’t approach things directly. They like to sidestep situations in order to get what they want. They are also not above using emotional manipulation. Everything from silent treatment to crying can be used to garner emotional sympathy and/or wager the value of their emotional bonds to get people to act in the way in which Cancer desires.
Leo-Egotistical Drama Queen
Leo loves drama, and let no one tell you differently. In a positive way, they make excellent performers because they know how to bring their passion to the forefront. However, this same feature can cause people trouble when Leo doesn’t get what it wants. As a fixed sign, Leo considers standpoint the most important, and they’re not really willing to budge from what they want. So, when things don’t go their way or when they don’t feel appreciated and adored, they will resort to dramatic displays in order to get what they want. The melodramas are quite synonymous with Leo’s behavior. They simply can’t help but make a mountain out of a molehill so that someone, anyone, will take notice of them.
Virgo-Critical Nitpicker
If you are looking for someone that will point out every flaw that you possibly have, look no further than a Virgo. As the mutable earth sign, Virgo is oriented towards purity, and because of this, they are focused on finding flaws. The only problem is that many people don’t want Virgo’s opinion about how they need to fix themselves. Also, some people may feel that Virgo is overly invested in trying to fix them when they could be focused on themselves. Sometimes it’s good to have a person around who will tell you the truth about your flaws, but when it gets to a point where you feel like you’re being stripped bare and ridiculed about everything that’s wrong with you, being around someone like Virgo can be just a bit too much. This is especially true when Virgo is not always the most put together themselves, even though oftentimes they really think they are. Remember…everyone has flaws.
Libra-Nice Nasty Patty
Libra, you love to be social and have lots of people around you. It’s simply hard for you to be alone. If you’re not constantly shuffling through relationships mainly because you can’t make up your mind who you want to be with, then you’re surrounded by people so that you can have interaction. There’s this desire for harmony and balance which is represented by the sign of Libra, but it’s more like Libra is learning how to achieve harmony and balance in their lives. Very often, Libras aren’t as balanced as they make themselves out to be. Frankly, Venus makes them seek what is pleasant and push down the unpleasant which can result in nice nastiness. Being the epitome of social graces, Libra doesn’t want to look bad, but they want to express their displeasure, so they resort to nice nastiness in order to keep the appearance of being a pleasant, lovely person while coming off as otherwise.
Scorpio-Vindictive Stinger
Scorpio has a less than pleasant reputation among the zodiac signs for its vindictiveness and manipulative nature. They’re very good at keeping their cards close to their chests, but they’re all up in everyone else’s business. Scorpios gather information about people so that they can have the upper hand in whatever situation they’re in. They’re also not above stinging other people when they feel that they have been done wrong…especially if they have been betrayed. Scorpio is one sign that can be incredibly vindictive, and they own it! They know that they can be quite unpleasant when provoked, and many of them do not feel bad about it. You don’t really know whether you should feel disgusted by this or respect them for being honest about their vengeful tendencies.
Sagittarius-Preaching Hypocrite
Sagittarius is known for being the optimistic, buoyant zodiac sign that it is. They’re always pontificating and preaching about various things. Many of them consider themselves to be quite philosophical and well-read because they are well-traveled and/or highly educated. However, Sagittarius can also be quite non-committal. Likewise, even while they are pontificating and preaching to others about what they know or what other people should do, they can be quite hypocritical. In some cases, it is common to find out that Sagittarius is not living by the words that they preach in their philosophical rants.
Capricorn-The DoomsDay Wet Blanket
While Capricorn can be quite ambitious, sometimes they can be so somber and pessimistic. It’s great to be grounded in reality which Capricorn definitely is. However, sometimes the starkness of Capricorn’s realization of reality can make them seem so incredibly stern and cold. It’s as if they are expecting the worst about everything so they are sure to do what needs to be done to prepare them for every situation that life throws at them. This could make it really difficult to get close to Capricorn because they are so serious that it often feels like they are pouring rain on everyone’s parade under the guise of realism.
Aquarius-The Rebellious Contrarian
Aquarius prides itself on being different so much to the point that they can often be a rebel without a cause. Since they want to showcase the fact that they aren’t like other people, there’s often this energy of going against the grain just for the sake of it which to be quite frank, can be quite annoying after a while. These are the people who go left if they see everyone else going right. These are the people who will go up if everyone else is going down. There is just simply this desire to move differently simply because they don’t want to seem like everyone else because they’re so innovative and unique.
Pisces-The Perpetual Victim
Oh, woe is me. That is the conundrum of Pisces. They often make themselves out to be these grand victims of everything. While there are times where Pisces is in fact the victim, there are times when Pisces is to blame. Whether it is because they choose not to listen to that very heightened intuition that is warning them of all the red flags associated with people, places, and things that are no good or if it’s a karmic boomerang that has come back to hit them due to something that they have done wrong, Pisces is not always the victim, but they will surely make themselves out to be at times. Simply put, being a victim is a way to escape from problems instead of actually doing something about them.
