The Signs: Strengths vs. Struggles Edition

Aries

strengths: ambitious, child-like spirit. the energizer-bunny of the zodiac. a deep well of sensitivity & love, especially for the people closest to them

struggles: tendency for selfishness, harsh language/verbalizations, may not always follow through with what they start. avoids self-reflection

Taurus

strengths: wonderful aesthetic sense, incredibly romantic (even if they don't seem like it). the calm in the eye of other people's emotional storms

struggles: difficult for them to let attachments and unhealthy habits go. self-sabotage by allowing toxic people to stay in their circles. emotionally stubborn...can be hard to reason with

Gemini

strengths: mesmerizing conversationalists, infectious energy when they're happy. they have a way of bringing out the repressed parts of other people. comedians of the zodiac

struggles: have a hidden, moody side which often leads to a depressed or paranoid state. can come across as insincere, "all talk but no action"

Cancer

strengths: subtle, sarcastic sense of humor. great listeners and even better advice givers. once you're in their heart, it's forever. blessed with a strong intuition, but they may not always trust it

struggles: a tendency to worry about things they can't control. can allow baseless fears to run their lives. passive-aggression that leads to a more dangerous, repressed aggression

Leo

strengths: extremely resilient, will do anything for the people they love. often have a strong sense of morals. they find ways to make regular life a celebration

struggles: can be manipulated by flattery, vanity to the point of shallowness. naive. insecurity can ruin them

Virgo

strengths: notices and remembers everything about you (if they love you). a very dry, silly sense of humor that may catch you by surprise. adaptable. great gift-givers

struggles: self-critical to the point of implosion. withdraws from others when it would be better to express their feelings. fear of their "weaknesses" being exposed causes them to repress themselves

Libra

strengths: adaptable. they have the power to make everyone they encounter feel special and involved. the way they bring people together in harmony is awe-inspiring

struggles: in the process of being who they think others want them to be, they lose touch with who they really are. developing opinions and making decisions that they stand on without the input of others can be a struggle

Scorpio

strengths: seeks to understand others in their entirety, love the darker sides of the people they care about. incredibly perceptive. you can always trust their gut instinct

struggles: their intense desire for emotional connection manifests as jealousy. they're often their own worst enemy, self-destructing at the slightest hint of internal conflict

Sagittarius

strengths: their spirits are quite literally indomitable. the lowest of lows can't keep them down for long and it's like they have bottomless emotional batteries. often very knowledgeable & funny

struggles: the desire to never be down causes them to run away from serious situations. they're committed to the idea of open-mindedness but, in reality, may struggle to accept different points of view

Capricorn

strengths: there's nothing they can't overcome by sheer force of will. deep inside their inner-child that loves to explore and believes the best of the world can never be extinguished. surprisingly "cute" personalities

struggles: overly self-effacing at times. they can become addicted to a sort of martyrdom. the load of responsibilities they undertake can become a burden they are afraid to let go of

 Aquarius

strengths: no one is too weird or too out there for them. unafraid to state their opinions and rarely take it personally when the people around them disagree with them. they thrive in variety

struggles: their desire to be cutting edge and "different" may not always be authentic. sometimes they don't know when it's not the right time for a debate

Pisces

strengths: their warm, dreamy energy radiates creativity. unafraid of being emotional and injecting what they feel into the things they create.

struggles: they look too much at the potential of others and situations rather than the reality. they can get so lost in the complex tangle of their own emotions that they project that conflict onto everyone else
