What Makes People Worry Most About You, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

There are three things in life that are certain: death, taxes, and the zodiac. We consult astrology for help with our careers, finances, and romantic relationships; and you can even guess what people worry most about you based on your zodiac. This is science — unless we don't like what the zodiac says about us, in which case, it's totally ridiculous. (That's how astrology works, right?...)

If you're a follower of astrology, then you've probably already spent a good deal of time researching the common personality traits of your zodiac sign, your strengths, and your weaknesses. I know I have. For instance, as a Gemini, I'm affectionate and communicative but also indecisive and stubborn. Oh, and we have two personalities. One is an angel. The other is a harpy. Or something like that.

Many of us are tempted to think that our sign is the *best* sign, as I've repeatedly said about Geminis, because, well, it's true. Just like Virgos are the worst. (Kidding! This applies only to the Virgos I once dated.)

Everyone's got their opinions about the 12 signs. No one is perfect, and we all have some good and some bad in us. Have you ever wondered what people worry about you based on your sign?

1

Gemini

Oh, Gemini. You have so many feelings. This is your greatest blessing and your biggest curse. Your active, overexcited nature — combined with how quickly your emotions can fluctuate — mean that you're prone to anxiety and trouble sleeping. Your friends and family love your passion; but they also worry that it could exhaust you.

Taurus

The bull! Taurus has many wonderful qualities, one of which is their generosity. In fact, you're so generous, Taurus, that you'll give, give, and give some more — even at your own expense. Worrisome, indeed. The people around you know you'll work through hardship or loss while trying to help others. You've got a big heart, but don't forget about you.

Virgo

You're so practical and analytical, Virgo; and sometimes, this backfires. You have such high standards for yourself that the instant you feel you've fallen short, you become very hard on yourself. It can be concerning to your loved ones, who want you to take it easy on yourself — and who also worry that you might be a little harsh with them, too.

4

Leo

You're very headstrong, Leo, and you like to dominate. This is why you make a great leader. But you can sometimes spread yourself so thin trying to help others that you get completely overwhelmed. If you can't take care of yourself, you won't be able to take care of others, and they need you.

5

Capricorn

You are the most determined of the zodiac, dear Capricorn, but be honest with yourself: might you be a bit of a workaholic? We admire your determination and ambition; but the people who love you worry that you're overdoing it.

6

Sagittarius

You are forever on the hunt for more, Sagittarius. More knowledge, more adventure, more excitement. Your thirst for life is inspiring, but it can lead to overindulgence, because you don't always know when to stop. Never lose this special trait, but be mindful of going overboard.

7

Cancer

Cancer, everyone adores you. Your priority is always to care for others and make sure they have what they need. But we worry about how much you put everyone before yourself. Plus, you tend to keep your emotions to yourself to avoid conflict. Don't be afraid to make yourself a priority, too.

8

Aries

Aries, everyone knows you for your spontaneity and fearlessness; but there are times in life when we're meant to feel fear — it's a warning that we might be approaching something that could hurt us (and nobody wants to see you get hurt). We admire your bravery, but take care not to let it steer you into trouble.

9

Libra

Libra, you are the epitome of balance and fairness. You avoid conflict, keep the peace, and look at everything as logically as possible. Because you're so levelheaded, you can get frustrated when things feel even a little out of whack. Don't reject the imperfections in life — they will always be there.

10

Scorpio

You're so fierce, Scorpio! It's why we love you. You are strong, intense, and passionate. Sometimes, you get a little overzealous and can turn people away with your refusal to accept anything less than what you want. We all have to be flexible.

11

Aquarius

You feel liberated when you rebel against the norm, Aquarius, and you're constantly on the go looking for adventure, always trying to satisfy that hunger for the new and unfamiliar. As such, you meet tons of people, but don't have many close bonds. Don't deny the adventurer in you, but never forget to keep your loved ones close.

12

Pisces

You are the 12th sign, Pisces, and the last of the zodiac. You are the other 11 signs combined, which makes you fabulous and mysterious all at once. You're on your own journey, but sometimes you become a bit detached, and cut off from the rest of the world. We know how special you are, but don't forget to let others into your life.
