AriesΒ (March 21 - April 19)
Needing to be the best
You can be very competitive and like to come out on top at whatever you set your mind to, so the threat of not being the best at something can be absolutely soul-crushing, to the point of holding you back from giving something a go. Just remember, winning isnβt everything. Lifeβs greatest successes also have great failures.
TaurusΒ (April 20 - May 20)
Mistrust
Try to give people the benefit of the doubt, your default setting always switches back to expecting the worst in someone, perhaps because youβve been burned badly in the past. Whatever the reason is, it holds you back fromΒ being truly vulnerable in relationshipsΒ and that can sabotage your happiness. Just remember, thereβll always be people whoβll let you down but more often than not, those that love youβ¦. will be there to support you, through the good and bad.
GeminiΒ (May 21 - June 20)
Caring too much about what others think
It holds you back fromΒ being authenticΒ at times and can lead toΒ overthinkingΒ andΒ anxiety, which can negatively impact every part of your life. Just remember, itβs better to be a first-rate version of yourself, than a second-rate version of someone else. Also, most people are too self-centered to even notice whatβs going on around them. So, live your best life.
CancerΒ (June 21 - July 22)
Your need for control
You're need to control the outcome of everything in your life isnβt just exhausting for you and everyone whoβs in your life, it also holds you back from truly enjoying things and being βin the moment because youβre always thinking 10 steps ahead. So just breathe, ride it out and accept that even the best thought-out plans can go wrong sometimes. Life was meant to be messy.
LeoΒ (July 23 - August 22)
Your bossiness
Youβre used to being in charge, and you like things that way. But your bossy nature can also push away people you care about. Also, because youβre always taking the lead on things, youβre sometimes insecure that people think youβre not capable of being a team player. So prove them wrong and step back and let someone else call the shots. Sometimes itβs more fun, going along for the ride than having the pressure of steering the wheel.
VirgoΒ (August 23 - September 22)
Always doubting yourself
Weβre all our own worst critics, but you really take this concept to the extreme and constantly second-guessing your every move. YourΒ negative self-talkΒ holds you back from putting yourself out there. Itβs time to stop being so hard on yourself. Take small steps, starting with a morning mantra; tell yourself βIβm worthy and capable of greatnessβ every day until it starts to feel real.
LibraΒ (September 23 - October 22)
Not standing up for yourself
While itβs definitely good to avoid conflict when possible, your need to people-please often means you bite your tongue when you really should speak up, and this holds you back from expressing yourself. Itβs natural to want to make the people we care about happy, but it shouldnβt constantly be at the expense of being heard. Practice speaking you mind with honesty and respect.
ScorpioΒ (October 23 - November 21)
Your trust issues
Youβve been burned before and taught your heart to be guarded in all situations to prevent it from ever happening again. But doing soβ¦. keeps you from developing meaningful relationships and taking risks in your career and life in general. Lifeβs all about relationships, so sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and put your trust in someone elseβs hands.
SagittariusΒ (November 22 - December 21)
Your commitment phobia
You love your freedom, so the thought of being tied down to someone or something for a prolonged stretch of time is terrifying to you. Your commitment phobia often sabotages what could be a truly loving relationship or fulfilling situation, because you never let yourself hang around for long enough to see what could develop. Itβs perfectly normal to have a little anxiety about locking into something, but sometimes you just have to ignore the fear and make the leap.
CapricornΒ (December 22 - January 19)
Fear of failure
You feel pressured to achieve flawless results at whatever you set your mind to, you tend to dedicate your allβ¦ to any task youβre working on, which isnβt a bad thing. However the drawback of this tendency is that it holds you back from experiencing failure, so you feel completely overwhelmed when it catches you off-guard. Just remember that failure is a necessary part of life, and it allows us to appreciate the wins even more.
AquariusΒ (January 20 - February 18)
Your fragile heart
Youβre a sensitive soul, and thereβs nothing wrong with that β itβs actually one of your most beautiful qualities. Unfortunately, you donβt see it that way. Instead, you invest all your time and energy into putting up the ultimate βcoolβ front, to mask your fragile heart. Itβs time to stop holding yourself back from experiencing true connections with people because youβre afraid of them seeing your sensitive side. StartΒ living authentically and let it shine.
PiscesΒ (February 19 - March 20)
Your fear of being a disappointmentΒ
Youβre always afraid of letting other people down because youβre convinced youβre not worthy β whether itβsΒ asking for a pay riseΒ or taking a leap into a new relationship, you hold back and you keep telling yourself you donβt deserve it. Itβs time for you to do something youβve always wanted to do, and each time you hear that negative voice try to talk you out of it, remind yourself of all the times youβve succeeded in your life. The more you challenge your inner critic, the quieter itβll become.
