4 Zodiacs Who Are Afraid Of Stability

  • Updated

SAGITTARIUS

I’m afraid of stability because I think it means giving up my dreams. If I stay in one place, position, relationship, or even mindset for too long, it means I’m letting go of the parts of me that long for adventure and experience. I don’t just crave, I require variety in my life. There is nothing that I enjoy more than the opportunity to reinvent myself again and again and again. I grew up envisioning myself as the protagonist of all my favorite movies and books, and I incorporated a little bit of each character into this composite personality I wear in the outside world. Think of me as a giant ball of collected chewing gum. Where some people may be overwhelmed and disgusted by it, I say don’t yuck my yum. I’ll never stop trying to build myself up into something worthy of a Guinness record.  

TAURUS

I’m afraid of stability because I don’t want to miss out on the new model. There’s something to be said for nostalgia, and luxury that never ages, but we live in a fast paced world where things are always changing. If things stayed the same, we’d still be using dial-up to log onto AOL instant messenger. Innovation and evolution is a good thing. Stability seems safe until something newer and better comes and sweeps the rug out from under you. If you don’t compete, or acquire the competition, you’re going to be out of business quicker than you can say TikTok. Maybe some people think my attitude comes off as never satisfied, but I hold myself to this standard too. I can’t let myself get complacent with the same ways of thinking and doing. I need to keep up with the market.

PISCES

I’m afraid of stability because I’m afraid I’ll lose my edge. I think the more creative, artsier sides of my personality thrive when I’m feeling a little down, or nostalgic, or heartbroken. It’s pretty hard to wax poetic on how perfectly everything is going, and my daydreams are never more vibrant than when there’s something in particular I’m trying to escape from. I equate stability with boredom. My fantasies are all about the ups and downs of an emotional rollercoaster, and I live for the thrill of a full blown daytime soap opera. It’s not all titillation and sensationalism for me though, I’m looking for something deep and soulful, with a just a little touch of Byronic Gothicism. The Edgar Linton’s of the world can keep their houses and annuities. Because before there was Saltburn, there was Healthcliff.

AQUARIUS

I’m afraid of stability because I fear what status quos, power dynamics, and cycles of trauma it enforces. If I accept the never-ending continuation of the present, that means I’ve abandoned my calling to be a critical thinker and a voice for change. It means I’m not considering all of the peoples whose disadvantage creates my sense of security and convenience. I would rather deconstruct my reality, no matter how rude of an awakening that my bring me, than just meander in ignorance through a life I’m not consciously curating. I want to rigorously vet the beliefs and practices I choose to uphold, the company I want to keep, the goals I want to pursue. Even if it sometimes comes off as virtue signaling, this is the purpose I truly want to create for myself and my own life.
