What Every Zodiac Needs To Hear If They’re Tired Of Always Being Strong

We all have worlds within ourselves that at times can feel too heavy to hold. We all have these nostalgic remnants of experience, and love, and loss, coursing through our hearts at any given moment, constantly asking for us to pay attention, constantly asking to be acknowledged. Sometimes, the intensity of our emotions, and all that is unanswered within us, can get too heavy to bear. Sometimes, we have to lay down our strength, we have to learn how to heal in the dark.

If you need a little refuge from all that you are carrying within yourself right now, and a little push towards clarity — these words are for you.

Capricorn

Capricorn — you have the kind of drive that inspires people deeply. You comprehend where you want to go, and that vision pushes you forward when others would simply give up. You exhaust yourself to the point of depletion just to ensure that you have given your whole self to your goals, and sometimes it feels like you are the only one who recognizes how hard you work to keep everything together. Remember that there will always be human beings in your life who will minimize just how dedicated you are, but that doesn’t mean you have to allow for their opinion to make you feel like you need to be doing more. Be patient, put your head down, and honor your tenacity. It is what is going to reward you in the future.

Aquarius

Aquarius — you have always been a visionary, and a forward thinker. The world within your mind is a creatively charged kingdom, and while that can be beautiful at times, it can also be detrimental. You sometimes allow for intrusive thoughts to create narratives within your life that bring you down, or that make you overthink the world around you. At times, it may feel like you can’t escape these voices, and it can be extremely difficult for you to think positively. You try so hard to ignore these emotions, but you don’t have to deny them, or dismiss them. These feelings are real, and if you don’t admit that you have an issue with genuinely experiencing them, you may never heal them. Remember to not let the paranoia get the best of you. Remember to let your feelings move through you. You don’t have to hide.

Pisces

Pisces — you are the kind of human being who holds a rare soul within themselves. You are capable of accomplishing so much, and you have the kind of potential that others often wish for. You bring an immense amount of creativity and heart to the work you do, and to the love you give. However, you move so quietly, and sometimes people can underestimate what you are capable of. At times, you may feel like you have to prove yourself, and this can cause internal battles that you’d rather not fight. Sometimes, it becomes so exhausting you simply just allow for your self doubt to win you over, and you retreat from putting your talent and your soul into it. Remember that we need people like you in this world. We need your unique talents, and your mind, and all of the things you hope to create. Don’t let anything convince you otherwise, especially the inability of others to see just how much passion you hold within yourself.

Aries

Aries — you put the most incredible amount of work into the things you are passionate about, but you often end up doing this at your own expense. You look after everyone around you, and everything in your little bubble, but you find it difficult to look after yourself. Sometimes, you have to take a step back. Sometimes, you need to take a little moment for your own soul and allow others to figure certain things for themselves, because they are capable. You are allowed to give yourself the same empathy and care that you give to others. You are allowed to honor your needs in the way you always encourage others to do so. Instead of pouring so much of your energy into the world around you, remind yourself that you are allowed to pour that same energy into your own inner self. This is how you anchor yourself.

Taurus

Taurus — you are the kind of person who takes a lot on both physically, and mentally. Most of the time, you are rooted and capable of nurturing yourself when you need it, but there are moments where you give too much, and take on an excess of responsibility in your life. You take on the emotions of others, their baggage, their problems, their fears, etc. You listen deeply and intently and you dedicate so much space within yourself to those you care about and you strive to ensure that they feel loved and supported. However, it is okay to admit that this sometimes weighs you down. Remember that while you feel as if you can carry the burden and the weight of all of those around you — it isn’t yours to hold. You can set it down. You have your own garden worth tending to, Taurus. Don’t ignore that truth.

Gemini

Gemini — you are the kind of person that does anything to connect with the world around you. You enjoy stimulating debate and conversation, you admire new experiences that challenge you, and you are in a constant state of curiosity. You have a lot to express, and you are great at sharing your thoughts and your inquisitiveness into this Universe. However, you sometimes catch yourself wondering if those around you are annoyed by your presence, and your eccentricities. At times, you can feel weighed down by how different you feel and how your vibrant personality traits almost push you into this place of standing out, even when you may want to hide. While this kind of doubt can be exhausting, it is important to remember that you are not for everyone. You are not going to be perfect in the eyes of every single person around you, but that is what makes those who choose you special partners and comrades in this lifetime. Focus on the human beings who see you clearly, Gemini. Do not water yourself down.

Cancer

Cancer — you give so much of your heart to others. You put so much of yourself into this world, and you are always thinking about how to make those around you feel seen, and loved, and connected. You feel things within the deepest parts of your soul, and sometimes the weight of your empathy can feel like a heaviness inside of you. At times, you have a tendency to sabotage and convince yourself that nobody around you cares for you in the ways you care for them. It is important to realize that you are so highly favored, Cancer. The people in your life admire you, and think that you have a beautiful heart. You are good enough for them. Your love is good enough. You are not alone in this world. You are not being left behind. Others want you around, they want to pour into you and inspire you and show you that they care. Allow them to.

Leo

Leo — while you often showcase a strong ego and a lot of feverish energy, underneath your confident exterior there is the softest, most generous soul surging inside of you. It is because of your compassion and your tenderness that you can unfortunately offer a lot of yourself to people who haven’t actually earned your trust. You believe in the goodness of others, and sometimes this depletes you because they end up taking advantage of you, and preying on your kindness. At times, being a kind hearted human being in this world can feel like a lost cause, because you always end up getting hurt. Remember — you can have faith in humanity, and you can also have a set of boundaries that protect you and anchor you in things that fill your cup. Practice your discernment, and understand that it is better to stay open in this world than it is to close yourself off due to the selfishness of others. 

Virgo 

Virgo — your capacity to hold yourself to an almost impossible standard is genuinely disheartening. Yes, it is good to be honest with yourself, but you err on the side of ruthlessness and cruelty, and you are often too harsh on your own heart and mind. Your tendency to judge yourself and to try to live up to a level of perfection that doesn’t exist in this world, causes you to compete with an idealized version of yourself that you will never be able to emulate. How exhausting is that? Don’t you want peace? Don’t you want to be able to be proud of yourself and celebrate the incredibly loyal and impressive human being that you already are? Why can’t you allow yourself to be happy, as you are? It’s beautiful to have vision, and to aim high, but at what cost? Remember to give yourself credit where credit is due. You’re doing great, Virgo. It’s time to acknowledge that for once.

Libra

Libra — you have this obsession with justice that genuinely makes you one of the most beautiful souls to be in a connection with. You are always trying to do the right thing, and you put so much mental energy into empowering justice in this world. However, sometimes it can be difficult for you to know exactly what is right, and what is wrong. You mull over every option, you assess the risks, you seek to see the potential pros and cons of every move, of every word, of every idea, and often it paralyzes you. Libra, it must be exhausting having a mind that doesn’t stop trying to measure and assess the equity of things. It is okay to make a mistake. It is okay to not know. It is okay to be spontaneous. You are a real human being, not a perfect one, and sometimes you have to let go of your need to know all the answers. It’s empowering to not know all the time, Libra. It’s freeing, and you deserve to feel that kind of amnesty.

Scorpio

Scorpio — you are one of the strongest signs in all of the Zodiac, but you are also the most compassionate and tender. You have so much love you want to give to this world, and yet, you keep it all inside because you are afraid to be truly seen. You worry that you will never be accepted for your true self, and you close yourself off to others because of that. Your walls are so high, and they are almost impossible to breach. Yes, it is good to protect your peace, but don’t hide yourself away so far into the quiet that you disappear completely. This is a defense mechanism, and it’s your main way of sabotaging yourself out of the things your soul actually craves from this life — which has always been a deep, and rooted connection. You cannot run from that forever, Scorpio. It’s time to soften. 

Sagittarius 

Sagittarius — while you are the kind of person who moves through life in an extremely care-free manner, you also take things to heart and you can often be wounded by the opinions and the words of others. The criticism of others has a tendency to get under your skin, and it can cause a lot of emotional turmoil in your life that manifests into sabotage. It’s difficult to stay curious, and to continue to put your mind into this world, if you constantly question how it is going to be perceived. That kind of thought pattern will continue to hollow you out, and you have to ensure that you’re making time to talk positively to yourself. Some people have nothing better to do than to judge and tear down the beauty they see in others, and this is not a reflection of you Sagittarius. It’s important for you to learn that and for you to continue living life in all of the ways that ignite something inside of you.
