4 Zodiacs Who Need To Navigate Their Way Out Of An Emotional Corn Maze On October 17

ARIES

Aries is confused about how they feel because they’re not being honest with themselves. By defaulting to phrases like, “it’s not that bad,” “I’ve been through worse,” or “it’s no big deal” they are simply delaying the emotional payload that continues to build up en masse. To escape their emotional corn maze, they first have to admit they are lost. That the circumstances in which they find themselves are confusing, frustrating, and disorienting. Only then can they begin to systematically pick apart the situation, identify the mixed and worrisome emotions associated with it, and feel their way through the pain and discomfort. They won’t come out the other end until they acknowledge the process.

TAURUS

Taurus is lost because they’re not keeping track or learning from their past mistakes. They keep taking the same turns, doubling back, and retracing those same wrong steps. The definition of insanity is repetition with the expectation of different results. Taurus needs to take accountability for their own actions and make the concession that their decisions aren’t getting them where they want to be in life. Making the same mistakes in new relationships or new jobs isn’t the way forward. It’s time to shake up the routine and pay attention to the results. You can’t stay in denial about what’s working and what’s not forever. At some point, you have to read the writing on the wall.

PISCES

Pisces doesn’t know how to feel because they’re overthinking a very complicated situation. They can’t navigate their way out of the maze because they’ve convinced themselves there is no exit, that the situation doesn’t have a “right” answer. While life is full of nuance and contradiction, that doesn’t mean that Pisces can’t effectively define their emotional truth. It’s just going to take time and patience. They can hold space for more than one feeling, more than one kind of empathy, more than one kind of understanding. The truth is that there are multiple paths out of this maze, it’s just a question of them choosing the path they want to make their own. 

SCORPIO

Scorpio is fighting the landscaping, trying to plough their way through their emotional corn maze. They are pushing boundaries instead of respecting them, leaving a mess everywhere and creating nothing but damage. Sometimes, we have to work within the system; sometimes, we have to follow a path that goes backwards before it goes forwards. A path that twists and turns and isn’t the quickest or smartest or most efficient, but at the same time is the path available. Grief isn’t a straight shot to healing. Heartbreak isn’t a straight shot to being ready for our next relationship. As independent as Scorpio may be, they are not free from the same emotional burdens as the rest of the world. They have to do the work, they have to allow themselves time to feel in order to heal. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but swallow it they must.
