I think for many of us, anxiety can be one of those taboo subjects that we tend to avoid even though it’s something we deal with daily. It’s so much more common than you’d ever imagine, with countless people facing different levels and types of anxiety all the time. For so many of us, anxiety tends to swoop in and take over when things feel off. It raises stress levels in other parts of life that wouldn’t normally feel overwhelming. And, when you’re suddenly feeling overwhelmed by one thing, it’s a domino effect with the rest of the challenges we face. Situations and tasks that are normally manageable become bigger than life, and that’s when anxiety sets in. But, here’s the thing: certain personalities are more prone to anxiety, while others take everything in their stride. I recently stumbled upon a great article that breaks down the zodiac signs, showing which signs have the most (and least) anxiety and why. Keep reading for some of the highlights and to read the full article, click here.
Zodiac Signs With High (And Low) Anxiety
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): You don’t look as if you have a ton of anxiety, but underneath that cool veneer lurks a very anxious person, Gemini. You have a talent for taking a small worry and morphing it into a huge concern.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Virgos have a ton of anxiety. They’re worrywarts by nature and then when their perfectionism gets mixed in, it just adds to their anxiety levels.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Aquarius, you want to be everything for everybody and do whatever it is they need which just causes you stress because you’re not ten people.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19): You tend to compare yourself to other people’s success and accomplishments and find yourself coming up short, Capricorn. You want to do more and do better, but this game plan is making you very anxious.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20): If you could stay home and never have to deal with crowds of people, you might not have a lot of anxiety. But there are times when you have to speak to a group, go to a party, or even make a presentation and your anxiety rises.
LEO (July 23 – August 22): Multi-tasking makes you anxious, Leo. You’d rather do one thing well than a bunch of things halfway.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): You have an intense desire to be liked, Libra, and that desire can make you anxious.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22): You don’t enjoy this characteristic about yourself but you can be one for worst-case scenarios, and your pessimism can cause you great anxiety. You worry about the future, the past, the present, the people in your life, and the people who once were in your life.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): You have a moderate amount of anxiety — unless you feel rejected, then you’re thrown for a loop. When you don’t feel loved or heard, it frustrates you, which turns into anxiety. When you feel powerless, you’re at your most anxious.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Taurus individuals tend to bury their anxiety way down deep. They’re not going to do anything without giving it a lot of thought, especially if it involves trusting someone.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21): Sagittarians have a constant need for new stimulus. They tend to think highly of themselves and don’t fixate on what negative things could happen.
ARIES (March 21 – April 19): Aries tend to create anxiety for themselves. They always want to be the best, to win, and to crush every challenge. By doing this, they put a lot of pressure on themselves.
