Even the most cynical of us might need to look to the zodiac to gain a new perspective on a problem. Here are some patterns your sign could fall into and how to break them.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
When the going gets tough, Aries gets tougher.
You feel frustrated by difficulties and face your problems head-on. You have the ability to discover what you need to overcome adversity. You direct your energy and organizational skills in pursuit of a positive outcome.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus values consistency and control.
During tough times, you struggle with disappointment when things don’t go your way. You’ll find comfort in your friends and loved ones during difficult times, so resist the urge to withdraw into yourself. Stock up on comfort food and let yourself go through the healing process.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini’s dualistic nature can cause them to freeze up in times of crisis as they struggle to choose which of their personalities to follow. This site of inaction delays healing.
Use your creativity and intellect to solve your problems. And don’t shy away from your outgoing nature. Returning to your outgoing ways will allow you to lighten the mood with friends.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Sensitive and intuitive Cancer will find themselves retreating to their safe space to deal with challenges.
You don’t like to share too much of your personal life, especially when you’re still trying to figure things out for yourself. Don’t be embarrassed if you need to take shelter for a while. You can conquer the world again once you feel ready.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Ruled by their pride, Leos resist difficulties.
Like Aries, you face your problems head-on, but can often get stuck wondering how you got here. Instead of worrying about the past, channel your positive attitude and focus on getting through these tough times.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgo is a perfectionist and acts practical in all scenarios.
But that doesn’t mean you have to do everything yourself. Asking for support is not a sign of weakness and we all need help in difficult times.
Instead of criticizing yourself and trying to work it out on your own, seek comfort from those who care to help ease your burdens.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra is an expert at avoiding conflict and keeping the peace, but sometimes imbalances in life are unavoidable.
Your discomfort with the jarring aspects of life can sometimes cause you to hide from your problems rather than face them. But you have the power to restore balance, and you must rely on this ability during difficult times.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpio is a complex being with many deep emotions, which is why they feel difficulties very intensely.
You struggle with confidence, and when your world is turned upside down, you often question those around you. Have confidence in the relationships you have built.
Your friends support you. Lean on your resilience and remember that the dark days will pass.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius is great at expressing how you feel, and that will help your healing immensely.
Talking about what happened will help you accept and move on. Let your optimism shine through and trust that things will work out. Just don’t be impatient, good things take time!
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorn is an expert planner, and even in difficult times he can think things through logically and systematically.
However, sometimes all the planning in the world can’t control the way life goes. Don’t be too hard on yourself if hard times persist. Give yourself a break and try again once you’ve verified your needs.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
The intellectual Aquarius takes on the challenge of thinking himself out of the tough times.
You don’t deal well with emotionally charged situations and may be thinking too clinically when it comes to difficult times. It can be tempting to try to fix the world, but nothing will get better if you don’t get in touch with yourself first.
Pisces (February – March 20)
Pisces is empathetic and an excellent listener, so everyone around them will naturally lean on them when they’re going through tough times.
You have a tendency to focus on healing as a collective, and while this makes you a supportive friend, it has its limits. To help others, you must first help yourself.
