Fire signs -

Bold, daring, and brash, the fire signs certainly know how to keep things spicy, but they also have a tendency of burning too brightly, not to mention their hot tempers.

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

Swearing is a problem for Aries because they want to communicate with emphasis. They want their point to get across so badly that they’ll also sometimes act without thinking it through.

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

Interrupting is another bad habit for Aries, who feels impassioned to speak as soon as the thought arrives in their mind. The impulsiveness can be tempered by drinking less coffee, learning to actively listen, and taking deep breaths.

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

Leos tend to fear change, which means they make a bad habit out of sticking with jobs or relationships that no longer serve them. They also tend to overshare online under the guise of “being real,” which is difficult because they also take things very personally, so if the “likes” don’t roll in, they’ll feel upset.

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

Interestingly, Leos come off as the most confident of the signs, but their bad habits mostly involve insecurity and jealousy. This leads to a disproportionate importance placed on appearances. These habits can be mediated by making sure their needs are being met so they have no reason to feel insecure.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

While the Sagittarius is reliably a hard worker, they can easily slip into a habit of overworking themselves. They can also be impatient, rushing into things and making more work for themselves when a plan would have cut down the load significantly.

© Shutterstock

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

On a personal level, Sagittarius can have a habit of saying what they don’t mean, which can lead to broken promises. Oftentimes, though, it’s only because they love their freedom and don’t want to be tied down.

Air signs -

Air signs are intellectual, curious, and deeply social, but they can be hard to pin down and establish deeper connections with.

Gemini (May 21–June 20) -

Geminis love to gossip, which can be great for their storytelling skills but harmful to their social circles. They also tend to be glued to their phone, which is bad for their own health as well as their relationships.

© Shutterstock

Gemini (May 21–June 20) -

Geminis have the curse of feeling scattered and being distracted, so they’re often late or zoning out of conversations, and they tend to also get bored quite easily, which can be difficult to be around. Geminis need only practice some mindfulness and gratitude.

Libra (September 23–October 22) -

Libras love to please, which isn’t always a bad thing, but can lead to bad habits when it comes to trying to impress others. This often includes name-dropping, bragging, and spending too much money.

© Shutterstock

Libra (September 23–October 22) -

Libras have a hard time saying no, so they’ll often take on too much just to avoid conflict. That can lead to a follow-up habit of flaking out on previous commitments. Libras just need to actively set their priorities.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

The Aquarius is always up-to-date on the goings on of the world, spending far too much time online or watching the news, to a degree that becomes harmful to themselves.

© Shutterstock

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

Their minds are always whirring with information, meaning they tend to stay up too late, forget to eat proper meals, and space out while people are talking. Aquarius needs to lay down some rules on screen time.

Water signs -

Passionate, imaginative, and emotional, the water signs are intuitive and observant, but don’t often process their perceptions well. They’re known to be moodier, escapist, and stagnant.

© Shutterstock

Cancer (June 21–July 22) -

Sensitive Cancers often don’t seem it because they tend to hold things in, which leads to resentment and passive aggressive complaining. It can also lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms.

© Shutterstock

Cancer (June 21–July 22) -

To deal with their own heightened sensitivity, they love to spend a night in, but it can quickly turn into a bad habit of watching too much TV, or eating too many sweets, or isolating themselves. Cancers just need to open up to a loved one.

© Shutterstock

Scorpio (October 23–November 21) -

Scorpios are known to be the most obsessive of the signs, which can look like a tendency to be too controlling. They also tend to be secretive about their obsessions, which can lead to problems in relationships.

© Shutterstock

Scorpio (October 23–November 21) -

Scorpios face a rather unlucky combination of having high expectations and fearing failure, which puts stress on their relationships, particularly as they set their partners up for constant tests, forcing them to jump through hoops. Communication is key for Scorpios, as well as a good bit of meditation, to ease the obsessive thoughts.

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

Pisces love to live in their idealistic, laid-back fantasies, which on the milder side can result in excessive daydreaming, but on a more intense level can result in mismanaging their finances and overspending.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

Escaping into their dreamy worlds, Pisces have a tendency to get carried away when it comes to drinking, along with a tendency to procrastinate. Pisces need to root themselves down through practices like journaling so that they can better focus on their real life.

© Shutterstock

Earth signs -

While grounded, patient, and practical, earth signs are also notoriously stubborn, critical, and materialistic. They believe in reason over emotions, which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

While most people struggle to say "no," Taurus has no problem. That is, until they’re saying "no" too much, and missing out on opportunities because of their rigid boundaries and fear of change.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

This fear of change and rigidity of boundaries also means that Taurus feels the need to define relationships immediately, restricting them from growing or evolving. Taurus needs to start saying yes and incorporating a little spontaneity into their lives.

© Shutterstock

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

Perfectionist Virgos can easily fall into bad habits like procrastination (out of their intense fear of failure), excessive worrying, and negative self-talk.

© Shutterstock

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

They can also accidentally turn their own self-criticism onto others, nit-picking at people who aren’t performing tasks the way they’d do them, and offering unsolicited advice that can come off as rude. Virgos just need creative outlets that reject perfectionism so that they can practice letting loose.

© Shutterstock

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

Capricorns are the ones up late at night, three cups of coffee in, overworking themselves to meet their own high ambitions for themselves. They have a bad habit of falling into “hustle” culture. This sign tends to fuel its ambition out of fear, and they also criticize themselves too harshly.

© Shutterstock

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

The Capricorn is also the overthinker of the signs, who gets stuck in their head and has a hard time expressing their emotions. Their high level of thought can be a good thing only if they learn to communicate at the same level.

Not satisfied? -

If you don’t feel connected with these traits, it might be because you’re going only by your sun sign, and need to look at your moon and rising signs as well.
