4 Zodiacs Who Can’t Help Wanting More

TAURUS

Taurus is never fully satisfied. It’s a natural feeling, to want to achieve or accumulate more than you came into this world with, but no matter the starting or stopping point, Taurus’ thirst for upward mobility never ends. They say there is a cut off where earning more stops affecting your quality of life. Taurus never really gets that memo. They want the nicer car, the bigger home, the more attractive partner. It’s an eternal case of the-grass-is-greener syndrome. If even just a little more is within their reach, Taurus extends their hand to grab it. If Taurus was a Kardashian, they’d be Kim, always reinventing themselves as part of an overall plan for world domination.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius is keenly aware of everything they don’t know and haven’t experienced and how short a lifetime is in comparison to the vastness the world contains. There will never be enough time to read all the books, see all the cities, meet all the people, or feel all the feelings, so they already feel like they’ve lost out on something from the get-go. The rest is a frantic attempt to overcompensate by trying to grab as much from the buffet as they can while the restaurant of life is still open. They are figuratively double-fisting and double-dipping in every area of life they can at once. People see it as greed or flakiness, but it’s their way of mourning all they’ll never know.

VIRGO

Virgo just has the most unachievable expectations for everyone around them, and that way they’re never surprised when everyone subsequently disappoints them. Even those few souls who border on perfection cannot reach a bar that is constantly being raised. And of course, Virgo never applies the same yardstick to themselves. It’s like a 5’11” man who tells everyone he’s six feet tall. Virgo can do no wrong but can point out the flaws in everyone else. It’s a defense mechanism to protect themselves from having their hopes crushed. In their mind, hope can never be crushed if it’s never there to begin with. So pleasing them is a carnival game that’s been rigged for you to lose from the beginning. 

SCORPIO

Scorpio is in love with love. Their heart is never truly broken, because every breakup is a new opportunity to fall in love all over again with someone new. The high of infatuation never truly ends for them because they are in such high demand that there is always someone interesting and attractive waiting to be discovered around the corner. They are the Hollywood starlet who’s been divorced seven times but never gives up on love. The next time is going to be the one that sticks. Their get-back-on-the-horse mentality is also a form of denial. If they run away from their grief, from their disappointment, they never truly have to deal with it—they never have to look at the broken pieces of their past relationships and determine a cause of death
