How Every Zodiac Sign Finds Meaning In The Mysteries Of The Universe

If we’re really being honest, the more we ponder the wonders of the universe, the more questions we usually find, especially when we’re searching our hardest for answers. Every zodiac sign takes their own approach to sifting through their own ignorance until some nuggets of truth are left behind, and we can learn some powerful lessons from each of their perspectives.

AQUARIUS

Philosophers and ethicists, religious and government leaders have all tried to speak to the timeless topic of human suffering, but Aquarius abandons any search for its cause, purpose, or meaning, and instead works their hardest to be a human antidote. Whatever discomfort or suffering they can alleviate for others in this lifetime is worth their time and attention. It becomes their purpose and their guiding light.

PISCES

The world changes so quickly that it’s easy to feel left behind, even in the span of a single lifetime, but Pisces’ secret weapon is their imagination. Like the best novelists and inventors before them, Pisces can visualize the vast possibilities of the universe before they arrive to our reality. So when seismic technological shifts disrupt human culture and customs, the shock isn’t as abrupt for this water sign. In fact, it’s what makes life worth living for them.

ARIES

Scottie Scheffler’s brutal honesty about whether success is fulfilling isn’t enough to throw Aries off of their game. They’re not the type to get caught up in whether there is true purpose or utility in their endeavors. What matters most to them is how they pursue said goal. Their consistency and enthusiasm, whether others could rely or depend on them. They find fulfillment in the small details of everyday life, knowing none of us can make complete sense of the big picture.

TAURUS

Taurus has an innate ability to perceived the deeper meaning in things. In fact, they’re the opposite of a brainless, zombie consumer, they curate things that represent ideas, emotions, or experiences in order to capture the essence of the ephemeral. Instead of cowering at the thought of death, they use their awareness of it’s inevitability to fuel their enjoyment of the present and everything it has to offer. They can’t take their favorite t-shirt with them when they go, so they might as well wear it today.

GEMINI

Gemini knows the universe has more problems than humans will ever be able to solve, but that doesn’t stop them from carving out their own can-do niche. They stay busy with everything and anything from fixing their clogged sink to overhauling the company shared drive. What may come off as the inability to ever relax is really just their way of empowering themselves by focusing on the things that are within their control.

CANCER

Cancer looks at all the chaos, in the universe as well as their own lives, and looks for patterns and chronologies that they can use to create a narrative. They can see how the craziest chapters of their lives were catalysts for some of the most rewarding and fulfilling moments that followed, and how even our worst experiences lay the foundation for the best parts of our personalities. It’s not “everything happens for a reason” platitudes, but owning, “this is my story, and how I got here”.

LEO

Leo’s answer to endless mysteries of the universe is quite simple, honestly. They don’t need any overarching answers that explains why we are or where all life comes from. If they’ve given the topic any thought at all, they quickly came to the conclusion that even if there is no answer at all, which they’ll never be able to confirm one way or another, it wouldn’t stop them from pursuing personal connections with their fellow humans. If the ride is all we have, they’d rather make it the best one it can possibly be.

VIRGO

Virgos take almost the completely opposite approach. They will dissect, deconstruct, analyze, and synthesize all the information available, all of the knowledge humans have collectively accumulated through the ages, and draw as many conclusions as they can. Their defiance towards the unknown is to uncover as many answers as they can in the time afforded to them. If human beings trend toward enlightenment, a Virgo will contribute as much as they can to moving our understanding up and to the right.

LIBRA

Libras are the ultimate devil’s advocate when it comes to pondering the nature of our existence. If others point out things like chaos, death, and destruction, Libra will offer up twice as many examples of order, organization, cooperation, life, and creation. Where others are overwhelmed by the vastness of the seemingly random, Libra finds consolation in the predictability of biological patterns or the purposeful intricacies of a cell. To them, these are all worth our awe and attention.

SCORPIO

Scorpio finds meaning in the psychology of human behavior. Some people mistake this for manipulation, but for a Scorpio, it’s more like an insurance policy. If they can understand what motivates someone and makes them tick, then there’s no need to take things like rejection so personally. When you understand that it really is about them, and has nothing to do with you, you overcome the obstacle of your own self-esteem and unlock a level of confidence most Scorpios like to keep in their back pocket as a secret weapon.

SAGITTARIUS

Meaning for a Sagittarius is all about accumulating experience, even if it hurts. If life has no explanation and has very limited time, they want to fit in as much of it as humanly possible while they’re on this earth. They want to travel, experience heartbreak, read the best books, eat every kind of food, and do the soul searching required to be able to confidently say, after it’s all said and done, who they were.

CAPRICORN

Capricorns throw themselves into their work, because if they can’t explain what the world is, or how it works, they can at least leave their imprint on where it’s headed. Where others think of life as a kite that is simply carried by the whims of the wind, Capricorn wants to tug like hell on the string, trying to steer and guide it in the direction they’d prefer it to head. It’s a crazy aspiration, but they are the ones willing to work hard enough to figure out how to get it done.
