4 Zodiacs Tackling A Life Chapter Where They Must Embrace Their Own Pain

VIRGO

If you don’t own a t-shirt or have a tattoo that says ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’ can you even call yourself a Virgo? You’d rather swallow a handful of nails than embrace your own emotional pain, but sadly, that’s exactly what this life chapter calls for. It is so very necessary for your healing journey for you to first acknowledge exactly what it is you’re healing from. Once you get over the misconception that compassion is a sign of weakness instead of strength, you can start applying your overachiever mentality to your approach to self-care as well. Get over this hump so you can start riding the big waves. All it’s going to take is a shift in perspective, and then you’ll be peddling therapy to everyone you meet.

SAGITTARIUS

Once you come to terms with the fact that your most painful moments actually aren’t funny, you can start dealing with your problems in an open and honest way. You can acknowledge what you’re really struggling with, instead of ignoring or laughing off your biggest struggles. When you see these experiences for what they are, you can allow them to change you for the better. There’s no justification for any of your pain, but there is an understanding and an empathy for those who have been through similar scenarios. You can bond with others over breakups and bullying and anything in between. It doesn’t make it right, but having a community can make it better, perhaps easier for everyone to live with in the aftermath.

LEO

You are so quick to forgive because you never want to rock the boat or upset the social ecosystem. You are so, so afraid to ask anyone to choose a side, let alone your side, because nothing scares you more than the thought of turning your head and seeing that the people who matter most decided to walk away from you. You let this potential pain negate the very real pain you feel and are afraid to speak out about. But once you finally validate your own feelings, once you realize you deserve to be heard, you will see how necessary those hard discussions are. How much you deserve to ask for support. And anyone who does leave you standing alone never deserved to be by your side in the first place.

AQUARIUS

You ignore your own pain because you are so sensitive to everyone else’s Aquarius. The world is gentle with no one, and we all pick up our own scrapes, bruises, and worse along the way. But until you really commit to your own healing journey, you’ll always be limiting your own space and energy available to help others. Put on your oxygen mask if you really want to make a difference. Learn how to really cope yourself so you can properly encourage others to do the same. The last thing you want is to be a hypocrite, Aquarius, so walk the walk instead of just talking the talk. You are always preaching the power we have for redemption and self reinvention. Give it a whirl and see how it feels for yourself.
