4 Zodiacs Who Need To Put Themselves First

  • Updated

Cancer

Cancers are deeply caring and nurturing, often embodying the archetype of the caregiver. They have a strong desire to protect the people around them, whether it’s towards their loved ones or romantic relationships, as they love to create a sense of security and stability. They are selfless in nature, which often leads them to prioritize the happiness and well-being of others and neglecting their own. Because they have this supportive nature, they also absorb other people’s energy or problems, which affects their own mental or emotional state.

Pisces

Pisces have boundless empathy and compassion. They possess a deep understanding of human emotions and are driven by an innate desire to alleviate any discomfort from others. They have this ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes, which makes them incredibly understanding and supportive. However, they tend to take in other people’s problems or issues as their own. They struggle to dissociate and their selflessness often leads them to devote too much time and energy towards helping others and not enough towards their own needs.

Libra

Libras are natural peacemakers and harmonizers. They dislike any form of conflict and strive to maintain balance and forgiveness in their relationships. They’re great at considering multiple perspectives and finding compromises that satisfy everyone involved, and without their expertise, it’s hard for people around them to find the middle ground. But their concern for others often results in prioritizing the needs and desires of those around them and overlooking their own personal wants, boundaries, and goals. They hardly vouch for themselves.

Virgo

Virgos have a strong sense of duty and service. They have a natural inclination to help others and are known for being reliable, valuable, and practical. They’re detail-oriented and thorough in everything they do, making them excellent problem-solvers and caretakers, as they see things others don’t. But they often willingly take on the responsibilities and tasks of others (even when they can’t fully handle it or even if they have their own to-do list) just to ensure everything runs smoothly and easily for the people around them. But in turn, it leads to them feeling overwhelmed as they’re taking on more than they can handle.
