4 Zodiacs Who Are About To Live Their Worst Nightmare (But It Will Only Make Them Stronger)

GEMINI

People will try to tell you all kinds of things about good anxiety, and how it leads you to growth, Gemini, but that doesn’t make living through it any easier. You didn’t get to choose the mess you’re being thrown into, and I won’t try to justify it with platitudes about your calling or your destiny. Life makes us deal with the things we wanted to, and should have gotten to avoid. It’s not fun, it’s not fair, and I wish your path could be easier. But you will make it out of this in one piece, and you will be able to look back on this moment one day as an example of what you’re capable of handling. Being able to put out a fire doesn’t make that your vocation, but you can rely on that knowledge and experience when needed, and that gives you peace of mind if nothing else.

TAURUS

You have had so many highs lately, Taurus, that this is one low that will hit you harder than any before, mostly because you just didn’t see it coming at all. You know how to be kind to yourself, how to sift through unfair and unrealistic trains of thought, but rationalizing this experience doesn’t make it hurt any less. Sometimes you just have to feel the punches as they land. You can’t delay the pain or explain it away. But you will still be the wonderful, vibrant, resilient you you’ve always been on the other side of this disappointment. You don’t have to give up your faith, love, or optimism just because wanting something to go your way wasn’t enough to make it so. Don’t stop hoping for brighter days when the night is at its darkest.

LIBRA

I’m sorry everyone has been saying the worst possible thing you could hear, Libra. It’s not your job to look for the silver lining right now, or to even expect there will be one. You don’t have to look on the bright side, or listen to some new age mumbo jumbo about looking for signs or butterflies or being patient enough for the winds of fortune to shift in your favor. Your only job in this moment is to take life one day at a time. To be honest in honoring your own feelings and experiences, and give yourself credit for figuring this out in the best way you know how. You will gain skills you may not have wanted or needed, compassion and understanding for others in your situation, but they’ll be yours to claim all the same.

SCORPIO

In some ways, you always prepare for the worst possible scenario, Scorpio, but just because you have that contingency plan ready in your back pocket, doesn’t mean you’re not terrified to use it. Give yourself some grace, and let the feelings flow through you naturally. Don’t try to stonewall your way through this, or pretend like it’s no big deal. The more you acknowledge your own heartbreak and fear, the more space you will allow yourself to heal and move forward. You are so responsible and self-sufficient, but there is no insurance policy against every possible misfortune. You can’t blame yourself for not being able to protect yourself from the world, instead, remember what a survivor you are.
