You may have heard people tell you “Oh my god, you’re such a Leo!” or, “I can’t believe you’re not a Capricorn.” But sometimes it’s hard to know exactly what that means, and if it’s actually a good thing. While astrology purports to tell us truths about ourselves, sometimes it’s hard to decide if you really measure up to your zodiac sign. But as you learn more about your sign, you might also want to learn more about your negative traits. Self-awareness can only be a good thing, so read on to find out the creepiest trait of your zodiac sign.
1. The zodiac uses your birth date to reveal things about your personality.
Here is the complete list of zodiac signs and their dates. Your zodiac sign is wherever your birth date falls.
Aries: March 21-April 19
Taurus: April 20-May 20
Gemini: May 21-June 21
Cancer: June 22-July 22
Leo: July 23-August 22
Virgo: August 23- September 22
Libra: September 23 – October 23
Scorpio: October 24 – November 21
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
2. Aries tend to be pretty angry.
While Aries is known for being headstrong and able to get to their way, sometimes this has a dark side. Aries have been known to lash out in anger and violence, and would do to learn how to take some deep breaths.
3. Taurus’s are possessive to an extreme.
While jealousy as an emotion has a fair place in our lives, Taurus’s have a tendency to take things too far. Known for being stubborn and loyal, this sign symbolized by the Ram can also be quite possessive. Because of how loyal Taurus’s are, they often expect that in return from their friends and lovers, which can end up feeling suffocating if you’re more of a free spirit.
4. Gemini: split personalities.
This creative and dynamic air sign can often keep people on their toes. Known for having big personalities and being dilettantes in many areas, they often switch up their personalities and interests so quickly the people around them may get whiplash. One day a Gemini might want to tell you all about their plans for a camping trip, and the next thing you know they’re moving into a city. At least they always keep it fresh.
5. Cancers almost want to be victims.
Sweet, sensitive Cancer has a bit of a dark side. Although they want to always give love and support, sometimes they overdo it and ignore their own boundaries. This sign, symbolized by the crab, can overextend themselves because they like feeling needed and selfless, but it often results in them taking no time for themselves and lashing out. Without setting and standing by their own boundaries, they often feel walked all over.
6. Leos are full of themselves.
Leos are often known as the life of the party — but do they invite anyone else in on the fun? People with this zodiac sign love to dazzle and impress, and they will always make you feel special and welcome. But, giving as they are with the attention, they want the same in return, which can feel like a lot more than other signs are able to give. Leos need a lot of praise and attention, which they are happy to return.
7. Anything you can do, a Virgo can do better.
While these earth signs typically keep to themselves, when something needs to be done, they will let you know that they think they should be in charge. Virgos are obsessed with perfection, and making sure everything is how they imagine it should be. While their meticulousness is admirable, it can often rub people the wrong way, because Virgos won’t hold back from telling you about your flaws.
8. Libras are too understanding.
Sure, empathy can be nice, but sometimes people are just bad. It’s hard for Libras to take a stand and declare that someone is being mean, because that would require conflict–which they hate. So, Libras tend to try to be understanding of everyone they encounter, and occasionally wind up allowing some bad behavior around them.
9. Scorpio loves the macabre.
Scorpio, the darkest and deepest of the zodiac tends to have some pretty out there interests. Scorpios love to brood and see where their thoughts take them. It’s fine to be comfortable with death and pain, but just remember that not everyone is like you in that regard.
10. Sagittarius’s charisma and drive to be different makes them risky.
Many people are drawn to Sagittarius like moths to a light. They are just so positive and carefree, you can’t help but want to see the world the way they do. But this sign is also deeply intellectual and an original thinker. These forces sometimes combine to mean that they often long for any opportunity where they can share their beliefs freely and without judgement, and not have to stop to think about if their thoughts are potentially culty or horrifying.
11. Capricorn, it is okay to feel feelings.
Capricorn is the most hard-working sign, and their ethic and practicality is admirable. But sometimes being so single-minded on a set of goals means that Capricorns end up blocking out their emotions. They can often come off as robotic to other people, and severely lacking empathy.
12. Aquarius’s basically don’t have empathy.
One of the most far-out and unconventional signs, Aquarius’s are often not clued into reality. That means that although their imagination and philosophical thoughts might open up new horizons, they sometimes forgot how important relating to other people and empathizing can be.
13. Pisces are a basket case of emotions.
Pisces has their heart on their sleeve, but sometimes they really should cover it up a bit more. Pisces understands that emotions are a fascinating landscape to explore, but sometimes they can get lost in the melancholy and bring that energy around their loved ones.
14. Those are some facts about your sun sign, but that’s not all there is to your zodiac.
Your birth chart is actually comprised of many different aspects that are derived from the planetary alignment at your birth. So, although your sun may have been in one constellation, the moon may have been somewhere completely different, and the planet Mars could be somewhere else. The organization of all these planets tell you something different about yourself, so once you start to understand your sun sign, which controls your external personality, you might want to next learn about your moon sign, which tells you about your emotional core!
15. Astrology has been studied and interpreted for centuries.
Although it sometimes feels like a new fad, many civilizations have interpreted the stars. Ancient China and Babylon both had zodiac charts based on constellations and planets. The zodiac that we are most familiar with today comes from the Ancient Greeks, and they were derived from constellations in the sky.
The zodiac can be a great way for people to learn more about themselves, and it’s important to know both the good and the bad. Even if you don’t believe, it can be fun to suspend your disbelief and compare your signs with your friends.
