There are some people who are always on edge. They are constantly thinking that other people are out to get them. Have you ever heard that old school song, “I always feel like somebody’s watching me?” by Rockwell. Well, this song is reminiscent of the paranoia that some people hold. Well, there are certain zodiac signs that are more likely to be paranoid than others. Continue to read on below to find out if you are one of the zodiac signs that are constantly on edge due to paranoia.
Topping off the list for the tried and true paranoids is the one and only Scorpio. Let’s be honest. Scorpio has earned a reputation for not being the most trusting. They are constantly analyzing whether or not they can get close to people. People that try to get too close too soon or attempt to violate Scorpio’s desire for privacy, may end up getting a taste of Scorpio’s infamous stinger. Because Scorpios aren’t that trusting, they have the habit of putting people through tests in order to determine their true motivations. Scorpios are not above setting up tests such as seeing if potential and/or current partners will cheat on them by leaving money around to see if someone in their immediate environment will pick it up.
Typically speaking, Scorpios keep a very small circle, and the individuals within this small circle are highly vetted. This Pluto ruled sign is always interested in what is underneath the surface, and because of this, they are very aware that everything is not as it seems which is why Scorpios head the list as one of the most paranoid signs.
Virgo
Virgo is known for its critical eye as well as its pursuit of perfection. These traits are what make it one of the most paranoid signs of the zodiac. Because Virgo is always looking for flaws, it is very likely that they will see something about a person, place, or thing that makes them upset. Virgo is oriented towards purity and order within its immediate environment. Thus, Virgo is always critically looking at its environment which includes people to determine what is wrong so that if possible they can either avoid said people, places, and things, or they can get to be the “fixer” that they are. Virgo is known for its discernment which allows it to use its critical thinking skills to analyze thoroughly. This discernment makes them very wary of anything that might be a contaminant. For Virgos, contaminants come in different forms from individuals with less than pleasant characters to chemicals found in food. All of these reasons are why Virgo is considered one of the most paranoid signs.
Capricorn
It should come as no surprise that the Saturn ruled sign of Capricorn is one of the most paranoid. In general, Capricorns are very rather somber and serious. They often get a bad rep for being somewhat harsh because they see reality for what it is. While some people think that this is pessimistic and gloomy, Capricorn’s ability to stay grounded in reality helps them see circumstances for what they are as opposed to how they want them to be. This doesn’t mean Capricorn is incapable of having goals and wishes. In fact, Capricorn is one of the most ambitious, goal-oriented signs in the zodiac. However, Capricorn operates with what truly is. They aren’t interested in pipe dreams and viewing things through rose-colored glasses. Because of this, Capricorn can be quite paranoid. Sometimes this is associated with Saturn-induced fears.
A Capricorn that is not well-adjusted, can allow their fears to overcome them which ends up limiting their ability to make the necessary changes that will allow them to move forward and progress. Because Capricorn may expect the worst, this leads them to always have a backup plan. Some people would say that this makes Capricorn paranoid. However, Capricorn would say that they are just looking out for themselves and making sure that they are solid just in case things don’t turn out as planned. Better safe than sorry is Capricorn’s motto… no matter how paranoid it may appear to others.
Aries
Aries makes the list as one of the most paranoid signs due to its Martian nature. Being ruled by the God of War puts Aries on edge. They are always ready to take action which includes being on guard and prepared to fight if necessary. This doesn’t necessarily mean physical fights, but if it is necessary, they won’t back down. Because Aries is likely to be on edge, they are highly sensitive to words and actions that they perceive as a threat. Aries is not going to sit back and just allow someone to say or do something to them that is insulting or demeaning. They are more than willing to put people in their place in order to establish firm boundaries as well as to protect themselves. To some, Aries’ ability to respond in a confrontational manner may make them appear paranoid. It is as if Aries is waiting for something to happen in order for them to react. Because of this, Aries is considered one of the most paranoid zodiac signs.
Pisces
Some people may be quite surprised to find Pisces on the list of the most paranoid zodiac signs. In general, Pisces can be quite trusting, and unfortunately, this is what eventually leads to their paranoia. Because Pisces don’t really do boundaries, they often place themselves in circumstances where they are exchanging energy with people that they intuitively know aren’t the best for them.
The Pisceans who are not confident in their intuition will push aside all the red flags and end up associating with people whom they know are not good for them. The end result usually is that their intuition was right all along leading the Piscean to regret their choices in associates. If Pisces continue the habit of ignoring their intuition when there are obvious red flags, Pisces can develop a very hard wall around themselves. Ironically this is the boundary that their heightened intuition was trying to help them establish with the individuals in the first place. After much disappointment, which is directly related to Pisces’ failure to listen to their intuition, Pisces becomes paranoid questioning the motives of individuals due to their previous negative experiences.
Overcoming Paranoia
While some people have the tendency to tell the paranoid to “lighten up,” overcoming paranoia is not as easy as some would make it out to be. There are various reasons why people are skeptical and mistrusting. Sometimes this happens due to past negative experiences. Sometimes paranoia occurs because individuals pick up ill feelings associated with people and/or environments. Sometimes people pick up on negative patterns which they believe will ultimately reveal a person’s true intentions.
Thus, paranoia is based on a deep distrust that usually can’t be overcome instantaneously. The only thing that can really alleviate paranoia is establishing trust, and this takes time. So for the Scorpios, Virgos, Capricorn’, Aries, and even the Pisces who struggle with paranoia, you have to establish your own methods of vetting individuals so you don’t always have to worry about others impacting your life negatively.
