Many people are content with their lives and comfortable in their own skin, and these lucky individuals may not have the best life, but work with what they have. And appreciate life. However, there are many others who are more often than not overly happy in life. And many of those who are not happy have lives that so many others would envy, such as having healthy relationships, children, and being financially comfortable. So why aren’t they as happy as they should be since they have all these wonderful things ahead of them? If that’s you, let’s see why you’re not as lucky as you could be based on your zodiac sign.
Aries – You are too hard on yourself and others
Aries, you are the passionate and fiery type, and if anyone were baffled at the idea of anyone being unhappy, they would be the ones looking at you. Because you know that even though you are the one in control of many things in your life, you still find it hard to find happiness. As you already know, you have no patience, which can cause frustration. And you tend to be too hard on yourself and others.
For example, you become too hard on yourself because you can’t do something quickly. When you’re competing for something, like applying for a job you want, it’s hard to forgive yourself for not getting the job because someone was better qualified than you. If you gave yourself more grace (and others too), you would be happier.
Taurus – You base your happiness on possessions
Taurus, based on the fact that you have an earth sign, you are very into the material, and your ruling planet, Venus, rules love and money, which makes you quite materialistic. Therefore, you are the one who focuses too much on possessions and relies on them to make you happy. You think that the luxury you buy will bring you happiness.
And while the new pair of shoes or latest gadget you buy may give you some satisfaction, it will never bring you true happiness. And you don’t learn that lesson because you believe that every luxurious possession you get will make you happy. But the truth is that you cannot acquire happiness through outside things, and happiness is an inside job. Sorry, your new bag or that gourmet meal won’t solve your misfortune.
Gemini – Your insecurities make you unhappy
Gemini, you are versatile and sociable and you like to be around people. You’re also the one who wants to try to figure them out, and at the same time you keep thinking that they’re spending their time trying to figure out you. They are not the way they do their business. You keep focusing on that so much because of your insecurities, and it’s your insecurities that make you so unhappy.
Another thing you do based on your insecurities is to manipulate others because you fear they will do the same to you. Once people realize that, they don’t want anything to do with you anymore. Therefore, it turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Cancer – You pick up on the emotions of others
Cancer, you are very emotional and very caring. In addition, you are very empathetic and easily take on the emotions of others. The result is that you take on the feelings of others, and that can be a challenging experience for you. That’s why when you feel down or anxious, and you can’t pinpoint why, that’s why.
You were around someone who was down or anxious, or in a room full of people who didn’t have a positive attitude. That’s why you picked it up. That explains your unhappiness. The best thing you can do is protect yourself to keep your energy protected. You have a hard time dealing with your emotions as they are because you don’t need someone else’s emotions to deal with them.
Leo – Your expectations of others are too high
Leo, you like the spotlight and you think highly of yourself. But at the same time you have a warm and generous heart. You give your friends gifts and occasionally take them out to dinner. And at the same time you also expect them to do the same for you. And yet you also agree to extend favors to those who ask for them, wishing that they will do something for you in return.
But what happens if they all don’t? And worse? What if those to whom you bestowed gifts or favors did not appreciate what you did for them? That’s what makes you unhappy. Your expectations of others are too high and you become very disappointed when you find out that they don’t have the same heart as you. One solution is to stop doing and doing favors to others.
Virgo – How you overanalyze everything
Virgo, it’s not surprising that you’re not happy since you’re intensely analytical by nature. Therefore, you expect too much from yourself and others, and if you don’t live up to your expectations, you come down on yourself. And when you see others not living up to your expectations, you get very disappointed.
Therefore, you analyze too much why you cannot meet your expectations, and at the same time you investigate too deeply why others fail to meet yours. That will only make you unhappy. If only you could accept that you are human and that others are just as human as you are, it would become easier to understand that perfection is not realistic and achievable. If you accept that fact, you’ll be happier and you won’t have to overanalyze so much anymore.
Libra – Your indecisiveness
Libra, you are the one everyone loves because you are charming and you know how to make others feel better. You also like beauty and peace, but that doesn’t mean you’re happy even if you have those things. You need balance, and yes, the lack of balance will often cause you to be unhappy. Above all, the one thing that frustrates you the most is that you have difficulty making decisions. You know you can make a decision, but you struggle in this area and you get mad at yourself when you can’t make a decision. That brings a lot of stress and a lack of balance.
Scorpio – Your jealousy
Scorpio, you are intense and very private. You also have some big emotions, and those emotions are so overwhelming that you have a hard time dealing with them. However, what makes you unhappy is the fact that you struggle with jealousy. You are jealous because you lack confidence, even towards those who have proven themselves loyal to you. For example, if your partner starts talking to another friend of the opposite (or the same) sex as you, you will feel jealous of him or her, even though your partner has proven to you that he/she is loyal. And you know it’s irrational to feel this way, but there’s nothing you can do about it either. That makes you unhappy.
Sagittarius – The consequences of being so blunt
Sagittarius, you are optimistic, but at the same time you are blunt and too honest. You say you don’t care how you influence others when you speak your truth, but deep down you do. You’ve lost friends because you’ve been so rude, and they may not have been ready to hear the truth about you punching them in the face, which is why they no longer wanted to be with you. However, you will regret it and miss their friendship. You wish you could somewhat filter what you say, but you can’t, and knowing this makes you unhappy. However, you will never allow others to know that.
Capricorn – You ghost people too quickly
Capricorn, you take everything very seriously because it’s in your nature. You don’t regret the time it takes you to work on your goals and take on the other responsibilities. However, you take everything people do too seriously. If someone upsets you, you will give them a limited second chance, and if you are angered by what someone has done repeatedly, you will ghost them.
It’s one thing if someone has proven not to be trustworthy for malicious reasons, but sometimes you don’t let enough people out because they’re human, and you’ll ghost them because of it. And if you keep doing that, you’ll be alone. Part of you wishes you wouldn’t react this way, but you do.
Aquarius – You don’t listen to other people’s advice
Aquarius, you are a progressive and independent thinker. However, you can be so independent in your thinking that you don’t want to listen to the experts and others who have knowledge of something you are not. And this is not a case where you are not told what to do. Instead, you rely on your own advice on something you don’t know much about, rather than the advice of someone more experienced than you in that particular field.
As a result, you keep making mistakes and digging yourself into holes, but you don’t learn your lesson, so you keep taking your own inexperienced advice to heart over the advice of others who do get it. That’s what makes you unhappy.
Pisces – You change your mind quickly
Pisces, you are not the one who is known to make sense, and you can be dreamy and somewhat wimpy. You may make a decision, but the point is that you don’t stick to it and move on to the next best thing. For example, you want to start a relationship with someone, but someone better comes along, you think.
Then you drop the relationship you wanted to start and start a new one. The same goes for a job you apply for and even get. When something happens that you think is better, you go after it and forget what you committed to. Your inability to stick to your obligations and your tendency to change your mind too quickly make you unhappy. If you stick to your obligations you would be happier unless there is a good reason not to.
As you can see, these reasons why you might not be happy could be due to you being your worst enemy regardless of your sign. Some consider it self-sabotage, and others would just say that these are vices that are harder to control based on your personality. However, if you can deal with these habits and make sure you don’t do the things that make you unhappy, you’ll find that you’re a lot happier with life in general. Moreover, you will be satisfied with what life has to offer you and what it has to offer you.
