4 Zodiacs With Primordial Anxiety

Everyone suffers from anxiety and nervousness from time to time, but some zodiac signs struggle with it more than others. The reasons behind each zodiac sign’s anxiety are unique. Luckily, there are also calming techniques tailored to the individual signs. Here’s which signs are most likely to struggle with anxiety and what they can do to relax.

Aries Zodiac Signs Are Always in Their Heads

Every zodiac sign correlates to a set of body parts that reveals something unique about that sign. These body parts could be the sign’s strongest or most beautiful features, or they could be the areas most prone to injury and illness. Aries governs the head and face, which means Aries people usually have striking features, great hair, and powerful brains. However, it also means they are prone to facial injuries, headaches, and certain mental health issues like anxiety.

Aries people are super quick at everything they do – they are fast runners, talkers, and thinkers. Their minds are always running a mile a minute, so they often find themselves considering worst-case scenarios. 

There are many ways Aries people can combat their natural tendency toward anxiety, and one of them is to practice challenging their anxious thoughts. Every zodiac sign is considered either positive or negative. Positive signs tend to, of course, think more positively and express themselves outwardly, while negative signs are more negative and have a deeper internal world. Aries is considered a positive sign, so Aries people can find the bright side of any situation with their sharp minds just as easily as they see the negative. They can weaken their anxiety by consciously looking for the positive version of each negative thought. For example, if they are thinking, “I will never pass this exam, it’s too hard,” they can challenge that thought by thinking, “I’ve studied really hard and prepared for this, and I have a good chance of passing.”

Aries can also focus on clearing their heads with meditation or mindful practices like coloring. Staying distracted with an activity that uses their hands and makes them happy, like playing a musical instrument or gardening, is a great way to calm the busy Aries mind. Aries is a high-energy zodiac sign that needs a physical outlet. An Aries with an active lifestyle and a mentally engaging hobby is a happy Aries.

Gemini Zodiac Signs Are Too Smart for Their Own Good

Just as each zodiac sign governs a set of body parts, every sign also has a ruling planet. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect. This means that Gemini people are naturally intelligent and deep thinkers. They are curious and logical, and they love gathering information about the subjects that interest them – many Geminis are bookworms for this reason.

While intelligence is a blessing, it can also be a curse for Geminis. Their minds are always working, and they may struggle to get a break from their incessant thoughts. Their curiosity also makes them dig deeper for information that may be upsetting to them, such as tracking the details of wars or natural disasters, or uncovering ugly gossip about their friends and co-workers. These traits and tendencies are a recipe for mental unrest and nervousness.

But Geminis have the power to alleviate their anxiety. Like Aries, Gemini is a positive sign, and they can see the good in any person or situation. So, they must also challenge their negative thoughts with the opposite potential positive outcome.

Geminis are very communicative, so talking through their fears with friends, a therapist, or a group of people with similar interests is quite helpful. Journaling or expressing themselves through art or music is particularly therapeutic for Geminis. Insteading of seeking distractions that could further clutter their anxious minds, Geminis should focus on what they can do to help solve a problem. If their anxiety centers around the environment, getting involved with an activism group will do a great deal to assuage their worries. 

Geminis also love to travel and need breaks from their mundane routines, so planning a trip and getting away is the perfect way to help them relax. Even taking a day off to explore a new coffee shop or museum they’ve been dying to try is a great mental reset for Geminis.

Virgo Zodiac Signs Try to Fix Everything

Virgo is the only zodiac sign besides Gemini that is ruled by the planet Mercury. Like Gemini, Virgo is also blessed with high intellect and strong analytical abilities. On the flip side, Virgos are also prone to anxiety due to over-thinking.

Virgos are problem-solvers and very meticulous, which is why they are great workers. But they are also highly critical of others and themselves. Their sharp minds quickly analyze situations and people to find their flaws, usually with the intention of fixing them. But it can be exhausting and anxiety-inducing to always see problems and predict potential disastrous outcomes. Furthermore, unlike Aries and Gemini, Virgo is a negative zodiac sign. They process thoughts and emotions more internally than externally, and their minds tend to skew toward the negative.

Another reason Virgos are prone to anxiety is their ruling body parts. Just as Aries rules the head, Virgo governs the digestive system and abdomen. This may give Virgos great abs, but it also gives them delicate stomachs. There is a strong connection between the stomach and mental health, so much so that many scientists refer to the gut as the “second brain.” A Virgo’s sensitive stomach can lead to mental health issues, particularly anxiety.

To combat their anxiety, Virgos need to practice relinquishing control and trusting the universe. They can learn to delight in controlling certain things within reason, such as solving a puzzle, creating an art piece, or working on a home renovation project. Indulging their fastidious and problem-solving urges in the right places may allow them to release control in other situations, like at work or in a relationship. 

Due to their close connection to the stomach, anxiety can be very physical for Virgos. Yoga and tension-relief exercises are particularly helpful for this zodiac sign to reduce anxiety in the body. Following a healthy diet full of fiber and low in processed foods, sugar, and alcohol is also extremely important for a Virgo’s mental well-being.

Libra Zodiac Signs Worry Too Much About Others

Every zodiac sign has a unique symbol that reveals that sign’s distinctive qualities. Libra’s symbol is the scales, indicating that Libras are very balanced and fair.

Libras have a strong sense of justice, and they want to make sure everyone is treated equally. They are compassionate and empathetic, sometimes to the point of codependence – it’s hard for them to have a good time if they sense that the people around them are unhappy. If someone around a Libra is stressed out, it makes the Libra feel anxious, too. They may absorb other people’s problems and emotions and feel responsible for them.

Libras are social butterflies, and they value their friends and loved ones dearly. They often worry about upsetting other people, and they can’t relax if someone is mad at them. Seeing other people argue also makes them anxious. Libras are natural peacemakers, and they try to smooth over disagreements between others. They enjoy a little gossip, but they don’t like keeping secrets, which can make them feel physically sick.

Most of the anxiety Libras feel stems from worrying about other people. They are people-pleasers and want everyone to like them and for everyone to get along. To help their anxiety, Libras must practice placing and upholding strong emotional boundaries. It’s important for them to learn that other people’s feelings don’t belong to them and aren’t their responsibility. Libras need to remember that it’s impossible for everyone to like them, and liking themselves is far more important.
