Vices

imstuckinarut-astrology:

Aries– Expressing emotion, especially rage, but others too, very impulsively. Although I’d recommend no other way, for this is the natural Aries expression. For this I suppose, it can appear as more of a vice to the ones around them, but over time, the Aries expression becomes one to aspire to, rather than keeping it within to rot. Yet it can be explosive at times, irrational. 

Taurus– Over indulgence, especially for a sense of comfort. This can be drink, food, anything that takes them away from the practicalities of life to a place more enjoyably sensual. Yet, it starts off enjoyable, then can turn to a rut before they feel they have control over it. Gluttony and Greed can occur, needing physical valuables to make a sense of safety lacking elsewhere.

Gemini– The Gemini personality often takes flight even when the other person has already fell in love, leading a mess of tears and bandaged knees for the people behind them. Gemini must live a life of curiosity, wonder and stimulation, and similar situations often cannot do this. They mean not harm, and sometimes, the pain of others may not even resonate until it is too late.

Cancer– The feeling of crawling in their own skin can come from a sense of shame forced upon them for expressing any kind of feeling too overtly, whether that is sadness or something more positive like joy. Yet this is societies standards internalised, not a natural trait they were born with. The cancer individual can feel like the Lunar mother herself as a human charade. 

Leo– The need for unconditional love, though not often considered a vice, can lead to displays of pride, egoism and demands from Leo, yet this all comes from a pure place of wanting to belong in the heart of another. Leo wants to radiate light out to all they touch, yet can feel ignored and abandoned incredible easy, much like a child. 

Virgo– The pursuit of perfection can feel like a never ending, torturous game for Virgo, seeing every reflecting surface as some kind of reminder of the imperfections of humanity. It can take Virgo many years to understand that anything pristine is likely inauthentic, even if this gives them the butterflies of nerves in their bellies. They do rise above it though, finding comfort in kindness.

Libra– The identity of another can feel immensely satisfying for Libra, at least for a while, but then often the niggling complaints begin to rise from within themselves, a sense that they are sacrificing more than they can give at times. The pursuit for peace and belonging can lead Libra down romanticised paths with dangerous individuals, ones that do not think so purely as they do. 

Scorpio– Secrets for Scorpio feeds their internal desire to understand the universe on an intimate level, asking more than the universe is sometimes willing to provide. This can damage them though, knowing that darkness is here as well as lightness, finding daggers in things best kept locked away. But for Scorpio this is more than some eager hobby, but a part of their transformative personality. 

Sagittarius– Being committed to something, anything, a person, a subject, a job can lead to that feeling of failure for Sagittarius, that life should be much more than that, much more invigorating and exciting, so why must they limit their choices. They may choose somewhat reckless behavior to retain a part of themselves that needs to fly, needing their hearts to relight. Abundance is sought through adventure. 

Capricorn– Distraction for Capricorn can make them face themselves forward, never stopping to face the collected baggage of emotions that they can feel will weigh them down, cloud their judgement and prevent their endeavors. It’s true this could be in the form of work, but also could be much more, anything that gives them tunnel vision and a crystal clear mind with objective. A glance back could completely alter their course of action. 

Aquarius– Chaos can feel electrifying for Aquarius, where there is no more freeing feeling than watching established systems, especially corrupt ones, fall and crumble to the ground. Yet they forget that for others, there is many emotional ties to tradition, even if they are outdated. Aquarius definitely have an anarchic streak, where out with the old and in with the new can trample others routes at times. 

Pisces– Comfort in the traits of others can prevent Pisces from having to face up to an identity that is ever changing, shifting, mirroring, maybe making them feel at odds with a world that puts emphasis on individuality and independence. Their vice can feel like that of a vampire, sucking the life force from those around them, yet this happens unconsciously, taking both the best and the worse from an eclectic collection of people.
