Aries' Secret Weakness...Anger
The sign quickest to anger, Aries knows this weakness well. They feel it coming and you see it in their body language. Their posture straightens and they learn forward. They try to restrain it, but it's so difficult for them. They wear their attempts at restraint in their facial expressions. You can see them grind their teeth and furrow their brow when they are trying to control it. It's difficult because it's sparked often. As the cardinal, fire sign of the zodiac, their energy is always pushing forward and their fiery nature is easily sparked. So, anger is truly their weakness. Life always teaches them to try their best to control it because it leads to fights and bitter relationships. But it is a never-ending battle. There are Aries who always try their hardest to restrain it because they are embarrassed by it and prefer not to deal with the ugly consequences. There are also Aries who just let is flow. But even the Aries who try the least to restrain it, know it often gets them into trouble. Fortunately, Aries cycle through anger quickly and have a generally positive attitude...most of the time!
Taurus' Secret Weakness...Intolerance
Despite Taurus' goal of using common sense to hold the highest values, they usually fall short on one value - tolerance. They are sure of what they think and they know what they want. If someone disagrees, that person is simply wrong. This scenario reaches the point of ridiculous when Taureans are intolerant of people who are simply obstacles to something they want. When it doesn't even concern values or ideals, and it simply becomes Taurus's inability to tolerate anyone disagreeing with their wants and goals, Taurus's weakness is at its worst. They are blinded to it and they don't see it until they find someone who pushes back on them hard enough to stop the Taurus and jolt them out their narrow thinking. This Taurus common-sense thinking can be very black and white. Moreover, Taureans can be downright tyrannical in convincing others they are right and others are wrong. Yet, enough resistance from other people or the world usually widens their view and makes them see that there are other ways to see things.
Gemini's Secret Weakness...Being Curt
Sharp words and insensitive comments are Gemini's weakness. Geminis' minds are too active for their own good. The constant flow of thoughts and ideas doesn't give them much time for sensitivity to feelings and consideration for polite behavior. The speed of their thinking doesn't allow them the time for anything except the most direct, pithy way of stating things so they can move on to their next thought. It isn't that they intent to be curt. In their minds, they are just being efficient with their own time and with everyone else's. They honestly find it hard to believe that anyone wants to spend more than time necessary on any particular point or topic for the sake of feelings or politeness. Yet, time after time, they find themselves hurting someone's feelings because they were too quick and harsh with their words. They see it when it happens, and it frustrates them because they know it's a weakness of theirs. They don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, they just don't operate in a way that allows them time to address feelings.
Cancer's Secret Weakness...Being Vengeful
This trait is normally attributed to Scorpio, but it is definitely Cancer's secret weakness. When Cancer's self-defense mechanisms fail and this zodiac sign gets hurt or betrayed, they seek vengeance every time. Cancer is the most emotional sign in the zodiac and they need a way to deal with their feelings and make themselves feel better. Vengeance does this for them. The difference between Scorpio's vengeance and Cancer's is in the style, intensity and longevity of the effort. Scorpio is more patient in planning it, less outwardly emotional about it and they will stick to it for the rest of their life if necessary. Cancer's vengeance is quicker and sloppier. Scorpio has more emotional self-control than Cancer. Scorpio can suppress the emotions so that they don't interfere with their planning. Cancer has some trouble controlling their emotions so they need to get the revenge quickly so they regain emotional peace.
Leo's Secret Weakness...Arrogance
Leos easily fall into the trap of believing no one can do things as well as they can do them. Despite Virgo's reputation for being the perfectionist of the zodiac, Leo is often the one trying to do everything perfectly. That's great when it comes to their career, but they go too far when they won't let anyone help them because they think anyone else will ruin it. Leo's fixed, fiery nature becomes fixated on bringing their ideas into creation and having them come out perfectly, just like they imagine them. They can't believe anyone else could care as much, or focus as completely on the task at hand as they can. It's arrogant of them because they truly believe they are more capable than anyone else. Their focus makes them lose of sight of the talents and abilities other people could actually contribute to their projects. Their arrogance goes beyond work ability. It's an overall tendency of theirs. Leos work hard at creating a great presentation. Their image is important to them, and they take great pride in themselves. It's their inability to recognize the talents and contributions of others that causes their arrogance. Leos are so busy trying to shine brightly, they blind themselves to the rest of the people in the world who also shine brightly. Fortunately, their need to be honest and authentic usually brings them back to down earth. When their arrogance is brought their attention, they recognize it and do their best to snap out of it.
Virgo's Secret Weakness...Being a Schemer
Even your closest Virgo friend doesn't want to admit how they scheme. They will readily admit to careful planning and thinking through details, but scheming, no way! Scheming implies crafty, evil intentions. Virgos don't have evil intentions. It's simply smart to think about the ramifications of every possible course of action before choosing one. It's smart to consider what will ultimately result in the best outcome for yourself. After all, they are our decisions and we all need to look out for ourselves. These are valid points, but it's a slippery slope. Virgo's ability to think through choices and outcomes is so well developed that they end up orchestrating, not only their own life, but the lives of those around them without even realizing it themselves. They are just so good at seeing the details and knowing how things will play out in the end, that they essentially become puppet masters. Like Oz behind the curtain, they keep their thoughts and plans to themselves. But the little comments, advice and warnings they can't help dishing out to everyone, end up directing the course of events more than they realize. No, it's not evil. But just like Oz, they'll have you wondering until the very end.

Libra's Secret Weakness...Dishonesty
In their never-ending mission to make the world a beautiful, peaceful and just place, Libras too often take the path of least resistance and ending up lying. So often, it just makes things more peaceful and keeps things happy. There are two reasons for this. First, Libra's tend to live in a world of their own creation where everything is nice and pretty. When something ugly comes around, they prefer to ignore it. Second, they don't like to address things in a direct, head-on fashion. Rather, they prefer to keep things nice and find a way to address things that avoids ruffling anyone's feelings or starts any ruckus. So, lying often becomes their course of action. It's not because they have any evil intentions. In fact, their intention is to just to keep everything nice and peaceful. Of course, they don't always choose to lie. Sometimes they realize that lying to kick something down the road and bit is only delaying the inevitable. So, there are times when they do choose to hit their problems or their enemies directly. When this happens, all hell breaks loose. They are perfectly capable warriors when they choose to be. So, excuse their tendency to take the easy way and keep the peace with a lie now and then. They are sparing you for your own good!
Scorpio's Secret Weakness...Being Petty
Letting the little things go is not an option for Scorpios. Losing sight of the little things is how empires collapse. Everything matters and everything is important. Most often, this mentality is fine for Scorpios. However, it can drive everyone around them crazy, and ultimately, it's a trap Scorpios fall into without realizing it. They are careful people and much of their success in life is due to the care they take in their decisions. Yet, even they sometimes see themselves from the outside looking in, and they catch a glimpse of the pettiness in their lives. It can take them years to move past an issue, which, to everyone around them, seems trivial, unimportant or just dealt with already. Yet until the Scorpio moves past it on their own, they dwell on it. They spend a great deal of time and energy thinking about it because it festers deep within them. If it's an issues with another person, it can literally drive the other person away because no matter how hard the other person tries to help the Scorpio move past it, they just can't. Scorpios don't realize how this seems to other people. It's definitely a weakness of theirs, and at times, they do realize how it drags them down. Eventually, they always move forward again, but it's always a struggle.
Sagittarius' Secret Weakness...Being a Prima Donna
The Sagittarius whose time is more valuable than anyone else's is a common find. Sagittarians have no desire to sacrifice for success. They don't believe in suffering in the short-term for long-term gain. That's Capricorn's forte. For Sagittarians, it's all about feeling good as often as possible and setting up a life for themselves that makes things as easy and fun as possible. It's a perfectly logical outlook. Life should be enjoyed, and it's not that Sagittarians refuse to work or put in the necessary time and energy to build successful lives. Rather, it's that they have no tolerance for doing any work or experiencing any more suffering than is absolutely necessary. It's a fine line that Sagittarians are willing to walk, and again, it's theoretically logical. In practice, however, Sagittarians often fall into the trap of becoming prima donnas. When they focus on this mentality so intensely that they constantly qualify the true value of anything they do as to whether it's worthy of their time or not, it can seem like they believe they're just better than everyone else. It seems like they think their time is more valuable than anyone else's. In reality, they don't think this. In fact, they believe it's every man for himself. It's each individual's own responsibility to look out for the value of their time. So, they really don't think everyone else's time is less valuable than theirs, but it sure can seem that way!

Capricorn's Secret Weakness & Worst Fault...Fearfulness
Capricorn is quite possibly the most realistic sign. As the universal, earth sign of the zodiac, it has the clearest view of the harsh realities of life. Capricorn doesn't sugar-coat the world in its own mind and it doesn't try to do it for the sake of others. It's this point of view that also gives Capricorn its secret weakness of fearfulness. Knowing and often even dwelling on the negative, harsh realities of life, makes it clear that the world is a dangerous place. There is a lot to fear. Capricorns are prone to panic attacks, phobias, obsessive-compulsive behavior, generalized anxiety and depression because they focus on the harsh realities of the world. There are germs everywhere and many of them can kill you. When an airplane crashes, you are likely to die. Yes, something terrible can happen at any minute, but most people don't dwell on this fact. Capricorns have a tendency to fall into this trap. It's a weakness of theirs and they suffer with it. It's difficult for them to move past it because it can be embarrassing and people really don't want to get dragged down in it because it's not fun to talk about. Fortunately, it's that same realistic view that also makes Capricorn fully aware of their fears and give them the understanding that they must be dealt with so they have successful lives.
Aquarius' Secret Weakness...Being Judgmental
Above all else, Aquarians want to be impartial and level in all of their dealings with people or issues. For the most part, Aquarians are able to do this without much effort at all. As the universal, air sign of the zodiac, they know this is the correct way to behave and think. Yet, they are still human, and although they almost always behave in a level and impartial way, they still have judgmental thoughts. They repress them and try to disregard them before they reach their tongues, but being judgmental is their weakness. It happens no matter how hard they try to avoid it. What's more, because they aren't comfortable expressing their judgments, they come off as insensitive and superior when they do. It's the last thing they want. Yet, trying to uphold the highest moral standards for your own thoughts and behavior and trying to help with rest of the world do the same thing is tough work. Aquarians do their best, but with this world view, they can't help but see the selfishness and weakness in others and judge it as wrong. This all makes sense, and looking at it this way makes it seem like being judgmental isn't a secret weakness at all. Afterall, we all do it, but for an Aquarian, being judgmental goes against their own morals and standards. In their quest to be impartial, the last thing they be seen as is judgmental.
Pisces' Secret Weakness...Being Delusional
Pisces actually prefer to live a fog. When things aren't completely clear, there's always room for change, room for error and time to just relax and contemplate. There's a certain rhyme and reason to this mentality. When we try to make things cut and dry, we limit are choices and our ability to make corrections and changes, which in the end, are beneficial. Yet, this is Pisces weakness because too often, they let it go too far until they become delusional. The delusions can be about how they are treated or how they treat others. Or worst yet, they can be about how they treat themselves. A Pisces can have a delusion about their marriage being healthy, when in reality, they know their spouse is cheating on them or just plain using them. They can have delusions about treating their loved ones fairly, when in reality, they are taking advantage of them. If the delusion is about how they are treating themselves, it can be about not acknowledging how overeating or over-indulging in alcohol is killing them. Or it could be about how they are just allowing themselves to wallow away in self-pity. Whatever forms the delusions take, they are all caused by Pisces unwillingness to face reality. Pisces prefer to float in a pleasant existence that avoids encounters with the harsh ugliness of life. So, they create delusions where everything is pleasant. Often it's harmless and it simply makes Pisces easy to live with. Other times, it can slowly eat away at relationships or lead to self-destruction. Fortunately, Pisces people usually know when they've reach the limit and they need to snap out it before someone gets hurt. They have the ability to see things clearly when they choose to do it.
