4 Zodiacs Who Always Feel A Little Lost At The Beginning Of The Year

AQUARIUS

There is just so much that needs doing in the world, Aquarius, and at the beginning of the year, you just never know where to start. Everything around you feels like a dying plant, and you’re only one watering can. Questions like, “who deserves the first drop?” and “do I have enough to go around?” abound, clouding your judgement with seconding guessing and self-intimidation. You’re overwhelmed by the feeling that it will never be enough before you’ve even begun, before you’ve made a first attempt. You don’t realize that there’s little difference between failure and a delayed success. The two often go hand in hand. So get past that first hump and spring to action. You won’t get anything done without doing.

VIRGO

You’ll never let anyone know you’re thinking this, Virgo, but the beginning of the year is the one time you start to question it all. Is it even worth it anymore? Was it ever worth it? What’s the point? Every little thing you pride yourself on perfecting loses its shine and its sparkle. The prize no longer feels worth winning. So you fake it. Because you can’t show the world the facade is cracking. You go through the motions, live up to everyone’s expectations, and somewhere along the way convince yourself that this is all necessary. The trying, the fighting, the worrying, the opinions, the sass. What would the world be without you Virgo? In what godawful state would it find itself if people like you weren’t around to critique it? A bleak place indeed.

PISCES

The distance between your current reality and your dreams is what has you feeling lost at the beginning of the year, Pisces. You ask yourself, “is this really it?” When the life in front of you seems far inferior to the many you’ve imagined for yourself over the years you become wistful and forlorn. Because in a way, by dreaming it up, you have experienced these lives in a way. You have told yourself how it would be, how it would feel to live in a way that suits you. But just because the year begins again, as it always does, does not mean it will be the same as the last. You just need a few signs of deviation to respire your lost hope. Because anything new means anything is possible, and that’s all the room you need to let your imagination run wild.

GEMINI

You may not even realize it Gemini, but the beginning of the year makes you want to light it all on fire. Your old self, your old habits, your old routines. You want to throw them all in a trash bin and light the match, like it’s a dramatic ritual to get rid of your ex’s old sweatshirt. It’s the shadow self in you that wants to shirk off your responsibilities, your commitments, your worries and live a life free of any ties or obligations. But obviously the type A side of you will never let that happen. These fantasies are just a way of letting your psyche blow off some steam. It’s like the visualization of a rage room without any of the mess to clean up. Just how you like it. Soon enough you’ll be back to color coding your calendar in no time.
