Each zodiac sign has its gifts and challenges.
We all use the gifts of our signs, but we also face the challenges.
We all use the gifts of our signs, but we also face the challenges.
Aries at their Best...At their best, Aries are truly the protectors of the underdogs and will fight for the weak with conviction. Mature Aries stand up for the rights of their friends and family, and will confront anyone who gets in their way. Honest and unbiased, they give real advice and have the interest of the other person in their heart when they help. Thriving on competition, they want to win, but are good losers because they are convinced they will win next time. This faith in the future also makes them fearless about new ventures. Waiting makes them uncomfortable which also makes them exciting friends and lovers.
Taurus at their Best...At their best, Taureans are genuinely kind and concerned with welfare and comfort of others. Looking out for the safety and comfort of loved ones is second nature to mature Taureans. They will be careful not to waste money, make sure everyone is warm and fed and look out for everyone's physical safety at all times. Taurus is a dependable sign and will persist when many others have given up or exhausted themselves. As lovers, they are sensual and interested in giving their partner pleasure. Politically, philosophically, or religiously, they want to look after the welfare of each individual and keep standards of morality high so that people don't get hurt.

Aries at their Worst...
Aries at their worst are the ultimate taskmasters who can fool themselves into thinking they can do everything better than anyone without doing enough themselves. They can be the first to give orders and then be the first to criticize that the job wasn't done perfectly. They must guard against letting small annoyances about trivial things escalate into furious outbursts. A tendency to start things they don't finish because they rush ahead without planning, should be tamed because they can't expect people to clean up their messes after they have already moved on to something else.
Taurus at their Worst...Taureans at their worst are obsessed with their own comfort while compulsively spending money on their physical and material desires, especially food and luxury items. They need to learn to separate themselves from their possessions and train themselves to throw old, useless items away. Because they don't want to be uncomfortable, they can be lazy. They must be careful not to allow a sedentary life to overcome them to the point where it's too much trouble to even go out for fun. Politically, philosophically or religiously, Taurus can be tyrannical. Again, learning to separate themselves from their beliefs and see things more abstractly, will release them from being trapped in their own passions.

Gemini at their Best...At their best, Geminis are social butterflies who get along with everyone. They are popular and keep in touch with all of their friends on a daily basis. Their quick mind gives them a quick wit and an easy-going sense of humor. Always on the go, they are never boring and add a zest for life to any gathering. They are current on the news and are not judgmental about politics or religion. Rather they are open to discussing anything without taking sides, and they can add useful information on any topic.
|
Gemini at their Worst...Geminis at their worst are callous, curt, and lacking in empathy. Gemini's relationships would benefit from stopping to think about how their words can hurt people. Too often they assume that if what they are saying is correct, it should be said. Bickering endlessly about whether or not they are correct is not productive in relationships. They should guard against their weakness in being social climbers who use people and information to propel themselves socially and in their careers, in addition to gossiping for sheer sport.
|
Cancer at their Best...At their best, Cancers are the ultimate mothers to everyone, even strangers. They are always ready to help by opening a door for an older person or cooking a meal for a sick friend. The mature Cancer is sensitive to human weakness and rather than taking offense to the crude or selfish behavior of others, they offer support and caring guidance. They will listen with their whole heart when a friend needs to discuss a problem, and the mature Cancer will offer advice that considers the feelings of everyone involved. Highly responsible, with a great work ethic, Cancers put one hundred percent into their jobs and in caring for their families.
Leo at their Best...At their best, Leos are honest and accepting. They see their faults clearly and are the first to admit them. Leos understand the fragility of the human ego and treat people accordingly. The mature Leo is an open book without secrets or hidden agendas. They say what they mean and are trustworthy. Friends and family are a priority and Leos are always loyal and dependable for people they care about. Lavishing loved ones with compliments and attention is their natural way of communicating their love and they don't stop just because the relationship is old. A playful, fun-loving, accepting attitude is the hallmark of the mature Leo.
Virgo at their Best...At their best, Virgos are gentle and kind people who can't resist stepping in to help people with advice or favors. Even though they are experts at seeing the practical world of daily living clearly, they accept and realize that most people don't. Rather than criticize and correct, they assist and guide. Virgos are masters at solving problems before they happen by patiently examining situations and playing out every possible scenario in their heads before proceeding with action. An easy style of communicating with a gentle voice, and an understanding listening ability makes Virgos excellent friends.
|
Cancer at their Worst...Cancers at their worst are lost in themselves and their emotions. When weak, they can be brooding and overly sensitive souls who believe that people try to hurt their feelings on purpose. They need to learn to separate from their own feelings long enough to understand that other people have different points of view and experiences that make them behave the way they do. Most of the comments and behaviors of other people have nothing to do with them. Learning to have more faith in the goodness of people and the world will allow them to be less self-protective so they can loosen up and let down their guard.
Leo at their Worst...Leos at their worst are loud, rude and honest to the point of hurting people's feelings. Their need to be impressive makes them overdo everything, including the way they dress and behave. They need to develop true faith in themselves and their ability to make it in the world, without trying so hard to be impressive by trying to be overly physically attractive or extremely talented. By realizing that relationships are based on more than this, Leos can learn to be as honest with themselves as they are with other people, and make more of their own lives instead of relying on other people for emotional and financial support.
Virgo at their Worst...Virgos at their worst are too shallow with a tendency to judge people on everything they can see. They need to remember that people are more than just their houses, cars, and clothes. Virgo can become obsessed with money, talking about it endlessly and reporting on how much money everyone has. Marrying for money or physical attractiveness is a danger for Virgos and can rob them of any chance at a deep relationship that would really fulfill them. Romantically, Virgos need to see past the physical and be willing to experience the emotional part.

Libra at their Best...At their best, Libras are considerate and courteous without expecting anything in return. Although they always want to be fair, they realize that life isn't fair and other people are not always going to treat them as well as Libra treats them. But they stay happy and positive despite this, and they understand that other people may not be as social as Libra and therefore not as concerned with social reciprocity. Mature Libras realize that they treat people well because they choose to and that they are actually tipping the scales when they do this because it puts responsibility on the other person to reciprocate. Seeing this dynamic clearly, the mature Libra gives without expecting to receive. They realize that it is their choice to give and they give because they enjoy creating and spreading peace and beauty in the world which is their ultimate reward.
|
Libra at their Worst...Libras at their worst are too concerned about being fair. They are avid followers of the "Golden Rule" and they always do their part in treating people well. But expecting other people to always do the same is asking too much. Some Libras become enraged and get into physical confrontations with people they feel have wronged them. Others play passive-aggressive games to even the score. Either way, these Libras would benefit from realizing that people aren't always going to treat them as well as they treat other people. Many Libras, who do understand this, still hold up their end by treating people nicely, but have given up on people reciprocating. They can fail to listen to people because they already assume people will say something unacceptable, and they end up making people feel unworthy of being in a relationship with them.

Scorpio at their Best...At their best, Scorpios are the friends and family members who are loyal until death. The mature Scorpio is able to deal with their very intense emotions and realize that they are the source of these emotions rather than other people. They express their feelings rather than locking them away and letting them fester. These Scorpios rise above hurts and failings by accepting them and gaining strength from them. Their passion is used for understanding and mercy, rather than revenge and power. They empathize with even the most downtrodden people because they can understand life is full of dangers and even the strongest people can fail. These Scorpios are careful and always think before they act and speak, yet are forgiving of those who are careless.
|
Scorpio at their Worst...Scorpios at their worst are controlling and unforgiving. Scorpios are excellent at self-control, but often believe they can also control other people. Sometimes they can, but it only lasts until the other people decide they have had enough, and no longer want to deal with Scorpio. Some Scorpios put a lot of effort into making sure they don't get used, made a fool of, or hurt. They waste time being careful and serious to avoid these things. Then, if they do get hurt, they waste more time being unforgiving and even vengeful. In the end, they miss out on the carefree, lighter side of life and, instead spend a lot of time feeling hurt. Scorpios would benefit from realizing that they can only control themselves, and because other people usually just don't care as much as them, Scorpios are wasting their time by not forgiving them.

Sagittarius at their Best...At their best, Sagittarians are free spirits who never let the world drag them down. They overlook the negative, difficult side of the world and happily skip through life looking for the good in everything. Always seeing things from the highest vantage point, these mature Sagittarians overlook faults in others because, in the big scheme of life, these imperfections don't matter. It's what's in a person's heart that is important and Sagittarians are wise enough to figure out the true intentions of the people they encounter. They see people and the world clearly, which gives them a clever wit. Candid but still tactful, they are masters at conversation and wonderful listeners as well.
Capricorn at their Best...At their best, Capricorns are everyone's compassionate, forgiving father who never stops supporting and giving. They are dependable when no one else is and have the stamina to see things through. Mature Capricorns see the world in the long-term without letting it overwhelm them. Saving money and taking care of their health are common sense for these Capricorns because they know that life doesn't come with any free passes. Taking care of things in the present is the only way to assure a prosperous future. They apply this responsible outlook to every area of their lives. Family is priority number one for them and, in the end, they work hard and act responsibly to be there for those they love.

Aquarius at their Best...At their best, Aquarians are confident and steadfast. The critics of the world can never bring down mature Aquarians who see judgments as opinions and never as facts. Aquarians are their own judges and they know that their standards are higher than anyone else's. Moreover, only they know what is really happening inside their heads. Regardless, mature Aquarians treat the opinions of others with respect and are always polite in their responses. They are accepting of the eccentricities of others and get along easily with most people. Patient and kind, they are impossible to rattle, these Aquarians have their feet well planted in reality. They have realistic goals, make practical plans and work hard until they succeed.
|
Aquarius at their Worst...Aquarians at their worst are insensitive intellectual elitists. They have what they consider to be highest moral standards and expect everyone to share in them, going so far as to enact real changes in the lives of other people to fit their personal opinions of what is best for other people. When confronted with the emotional feedback of other people, often based on their own insensitive behavior, Aquarians refuse to address the emotion as real. They change the subject or outright claim that the person has no right to feel that way. Aquarians would benefit from acknowledging that emotion is real and answers aren't always one-size-fits-all. We are individuals, with different feelings and situations that are often best treated with compassion and emotional understanding.
|
Pisces at their Best...At their best, Pisces are in tune with human nature and the underlying subtleties of emotion. A mature Pisces can understand people better than they understand themselves. They can feel the meaning behind words to the point where the words hold less meaning than the feelings behind them. This can weigh on Pisces, but the mature Pisces absorbs the feelings and reflects them back on people in the form of compassion and understanding. These Pisces understand that every person is completely different and everyone has faults. They are happy to overlook faults, even making excuses for people's shortcomings. They are also forever grateful to the people who overlook their faults and are loyal to those who choose to do so. Mature Pisces are there to help people in even the messiest and convoluted of predicaments, no questions asked. They feel the pain of others and have the compassion to help relieve it.
|
Pisces at their Worst...Pisces at their worst are escape artists who avoid facing the problems and the ugliness of the real world. Some of this is harmless, like pretending dirt doesn't exist, or dressing as though comfort is the only criteria in choosing an appropriate outfit. Other times, their need to escape has further reaching effects. Too often Pisces' resort to substance abuse to escape the stresses of the world. It isn't just relationship or work stress. It's a generalized and pervasive feeling that the world is crushing them. Headaches are a common Pisces complaint because this anonymous pressure builds in their psyche until it shows itself physically. When confronted, they will talk in circles and will avoid admitting their weaknesses. Pisces should be more open to letting people help them, and to talking about their feelings so that they can deal with them. This may keep them from escaping into substances or developing physical symptoms.
