The 12 Worst Habits Based on Your Sign
#12: Fear of Commitment Pisces
Pisces are understanding and make great friends, but they tend to be flaky when it comes to actually making commitments. They’re known for their romantic prowess, but they tend to become obsessed with something (or someone) and then quickly drop it when they change their minds. The idea of making a commitment, whether Saturday night plans or an actual relationship, probably makes most Pisces’ blood run cold. It’s best to avoid trying to force a Pisces into commitments, because it’ll just make them run the other way.
#11: Overspending Aquarius
Despite their many positive traits, Aquarians aren’t the most logical members of the zodiac, focusing on matters of the heart more than thinking with their heads. That can sometimes lead to overspending, because when they see something they want, they have a difficult time thinking of any reasons not to get it—even if it means maxing out their credit cards. Aquarians are lofty thinkers and their heads can get lost in the clouds, meaning that budgets and bank accounts aren’t usually the first things on their minds.
#10: Being a Workaholic Capricorn
What Career is Right for You Based on Your Zodiac Sign?
Capricorns have a hard time relaxing and letting loose, and tend to get caught up in their work or studies. When there’s work to be done, whether it’s cramming for an exam or staying at the office late to finish a project, they have a difficult time doing anything else. It’s hard for them to prioritize self-care over impressing their teachers or bosses. Even if they are convinced to stop working, their minds will still be racing and they’ll probably be sneaking peeks at their work email when they run to the bathroom.
#9: Breaking Promises Sagittarius
Top 10 Record-Breaking Women You've Never Heard of
Sagittarians are the life of the party and can always be counted on for lively conversation or a fun night out. But they strongly value their freedom and independence, not liking to be tied down to anyone or anything. So don’t be surprised if your Sag friend cancels plans to see a movie with you when they get an invite to a hot club opening. Like Pisces, they have a hard time making commitments, especially if they perceive it to mean they’re giving up their autonomy or ability to do the things that make them happy.
#8: Secretiveness Scorpio
We all know that Scorpios can be a bit shady. They have a reputation for being manipulative, but when it comes to keeping secrets, this can often be a defense mechanism to prevent anyone from getting too close to them. They tend to be closed off and have a hard time with vulnerability, which makes them hold information close to their hearts rather than sharing it with the people who care about them. Don’t try to force a Scorpio to open up, it’s an uphill battle that can take years of trust-building.
#7: Flakiness Libra
Libras are easygoing people-pleasers who have a hard time saying no when someone asks them for something. They don’t do well with conflict, and tend to say yes even if it’s inconvenient for them. Because they want to keep everyone around them happy, they’ll agree to plans and doing favours even if they don’t actually have time for them. This leads to overbooking themselves and creating impossible situations where they can’t possibly do everything they’ve committed to. This leads to them occasionally flaking out when they simply can’t do it all.
#6: Procrastination Virgo
Virgos are hyper-organized but can be perfectionists, focusing undue amounts of energy on making sure they do everything just right. Because of this, they tend to procrastinate, because they’re paralyzed with worry that they’ll do something wrong. Virgos are known for a lack of confidence and they second-guess themselves constantly. They’re extremely detail-oriented but can become caught up in doing everything just right, and often ultimately fail to complete a task on time. Virgos would do well to take a deep breath, remember they ARE good enough, and tackle that task that they’ve been avoiding.
#5: Oversharing Leo
Leos are known for their confident personalities and their ability to put it all out there without fearing judgement or rejection. While this quality is admirable most of the time, it can be a double-edged sword, causing them to occasionally overshare things that should be kept private. Especially with social media being such a big part of our lives now, Leos can tend to post one too many humblebrags for most people’s liking. While there’s nothing wrong with being proud of accomplishments, usually it’s best to keep the gloating to a minimum.
#4: Keeping Toxic Friends Cancer
Top 5 Privacy Tips For Keeping Your Data Safe Online
Cancers are some of the most loving and maternal members of the zodiac, prioritizing their relationships with their friends and family above all else. Where this can turn into a bad habit, however, is when they opt to maintain toxic relationships that have clearly passed their expiration dates. Because Cancers are willing to put in the work to fix problematic friendships, they have a hard time giving up when the other person clearly isn’t able to give the relationship the care and attention it deserves. Cancers would do well to focus their energy on the relationships in their lives that are worth working on.
#3: Phone Addiction Gemini
Top 10 Failed Cell Phone Designs You Wouldn't Believe
Geminis are tons of fun and make great friends, but even they will admit that they have a hard time focusing. Their tendency to be scatter-brained leads them to be constantly looking for something new to focus their attention on. In the age of smartphones, they have the entire Internet at their fingertips, and often can’t help but mindlessly scroll when they should actually be doing something productive. Because they like to multitask, you might have to remind your Gemini friend to actually give you their undivided attention when you’re trying to tell a story.
#2: Saying No Taurus
The 12 Best Traits Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Tauruses love their alone time, and would enjoy nothing more than a weekend where they have zero obligations and can veg out on the couch in their PJs, from Friday until Sunday. So when someone asks them to make plans or lend a hand with something, they may immediately jump to saying no before giving it any consideration. Tauruses need a little help leaving their comfort zones and remembering that they DO actually value their relationships with others—even if it means putting in a little work now and then.
#1: Swearing Aries
Aries are energetic and have boundless enthusiasm for the topics that they’re passionate about. Most of the time, this is a positive thing, as it helps them to accomplish big things and take on significant projects. Because they’re so excited to communicate, though, they can forget to mind their Ps and Qs and toss curse words into their monologues without even realizing it. Among friends, this typically isn’t an issue, but it can be a problem when in a workplace setting or when they’re surrounded by young impressionable children.
