The #1 Thing Missing In Your Life, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

You only need one piece to complete the puzzle. Here it is, based on your star sign.

Aries: alone time

You are a fire sign ruled by the warrior planet Mars, so you are as sociable and gregarious as they come. On any given day you’re out there like a politician on the campaign trail—shaking hands, kissing babies, and making promises. In the long run, your ability to charm people, rub elbows, and press the flesh is a good thing. But as they say, you can have too much of a good thing. The one thing you need a quiet place where you can escape every day away from the madding crowd. A place where you can avoid the noise, kick back, breathe deeply, and bask in the solitude.

Taurus: willingness to compromise

You are one stubborn Bull. Ain’t nobody nowhere ever gonna tell you what to do or how to think. You take great pride in “having standards” and “never backing down.” There’s nothing wrong per se with being ethical and assertive, but sometimes your hardheadedness is a liability rather than an asset. You’ll be a happier person if you ditch the whole “my way or the highway” attitude. Sometimes by refusing to give up an inch, you can lose a mile.

Gemini: discipline

Your life is so crammed with a nonstop blizzard of tasks and commitments and bills, it becomes overwhelming. You have so much on your plate that you wind up needing to swap out the plate for a serving tray—or maybe even a buffet table. You have so much to do that sometimes you don’t get anything done. This needs to change. If you’re not already doing it, start making lists of both your long-term goals and the things you need to get done on a daily basis. Get your life in order before you drown in the chaos.

Cancer: introspection

You spend so much time pretending you know what’s wrong with other people—and with the world in general—that you ignore that’s wrong in your own life. As the Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy said, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” But it’s actually a lot easier to change yourself than it is to change someone else. And changing the world? Good luck with that one. As Jesus said in the Gospels, “Physician, heal thyself.” Fix what’s wrong with yourself before you even think about fixing anyone else.

Leo: humility

Although a group of lions is called a “pride,” Leo the Lion can manage being prideful all by yourself. Sometimes you let your pride get the best of you, and even when you won’t admit it, you make mistakes. This could spell trouble. Leo the Ego needs to take it down a notch. If you don’t wind up humbling yourself, someone might just come along and do the job for you. If you don’t learn some humility, you might wind up being humiliated.

Virgo: a dash of selfishness

You are the zodiac’s great people-pleaser. Problem is, you are so eager to help others that you often wind up neglecting yourself. Let those selfish bastards who exploit your generosity take care of themselves every once in a while. You have your own problems. Give yourself some “you” time. 

Libra: a change of pace

Your problem is the opposite of Gemini’s—you are so structured and disciplined and detail-oriented that your life has become one thudding military march of monotony, and it’s starting to wear you down. You need to do something to break the daily routines and rituals. If you can take a day off, go absolutely wild. Maybe an impromptu road trip. Or swear off social media for a day. Just do something to mix it up a little.

Scorpio: closure

There’s something about your past that haunts you. You’ve wasted way too much time agonizing over it. You lose sleep at nights reviewing the situation in your mind and torturing yourself about what you might have done to change the way things turned out. But it’s too late. The past is the past. At the risk of sounding harsh, you need to get the hell over it.

Sagittarius: stability

Your boundless curiosity and lust to explore distant galaxies sometimes takes you so far off the beaten path that you get lost. So you need to learn the difference between “curious” and “easily distracted.” You need to take a vacation from taking so many vacations. Actually, an entire season of boredom, where almost nothing exciting happens and you stay put in the same place, would feel like paradise.

Capricorn: fun

You are reliable, responsible, and goal-oriented. You are such a good worker, employers would kill you have you as an employee. In fact, you are too good for your own good. But it’s taking a toll on your sanity. Take a break. Touch some grass. Smell some flowers. Go to an amusement park. Live a little. Life is shorter than you think.

Aquarius: a friend who can give you a new perspective

You are a great creative thinker, someone who can take any problem and attack it from a staggeringly unique angle. But no one is so creative and insightful that they can figure out everything. We all have our limits. The one thing you really  need is a new friend who’s able to look at things in ways that might never have occurred to you. Get a new pair of eyes on your problems. 

Pisces: a reality check

As an emotional water sign ruled by the dreamy planet Neptune, you are the zodiac’s great mystic, a sage for the ages. But sometimes, it’s just a little too easy for you to get lost in space. Right now, you need to pull your head out of the clouds and plant your feet on the ground. While you were sitting in the lotus position, you forgot that you were frying some eggs, and now the stove is on fire.
