Ever had an instance where your partner suddenly decided to put on those airpods? Well, that’s probably because you’re way too hot to handle at the moment. But did you know that such ‘hotness’ may probably be caused by qualities bestowed on you by the universe? Yes, the most stressed zodiac sign is a real thing, and it can be you!
What zodiac sign worries the most? Read on and find out if yours makes it to the list!
Trouble balancing the scales, Libra?
Known as the most diplomatic sign, you might wonder: why does Libra make it into this list? Well, you’ve guessed it: diplomatic qualities can also lead to a ton of problems. When you’re trying to please people on all fronts, you’ll realize that it is such a tall task. And when people expect nothing short of that, it can spell problems, right?
For instance, Libra typically becomes a yes person to everyone. When someone has a request, it is likely that Libra will try to serve justice by tending to them. While this may be good, Libra tends to spread themselves too thinly. With help calls left and right, their attempt to keep great relationships will deplete their social energy.
With an empty tank, you know what happens next – Libra becomes frantic and unstable, spilling out to their closest friends and family. When dealing with people with whom they can be comfy with, Libra will have to channel out that negative energy. This makes them one of the most stressed zodiac signs, despite their innate ability to balance things.
Add to that, they also feel some sort of pressure, especially when people ignore them. Since they find it difficult to handle rejection, this can quickly trigger their flip switch. Overthinking and agonizing over such uncertainties, Libra will show its true colors.
With this, it is crucial for Libra to learn how to say ‘No’. It is age-old advice, but it works. Saying No to parties, invitations, requests, and all the unnecessary stuff makes Libra’s presence even more valued. While they think that rejecting others makes them less valuable, strategic rejection reduces Libra’s stress while increasing their impact.
Have you found your target yet, Sagittarius?
Unlike other zodiac signs, Sagittarius is someone who excels in driving themselves to success. Regardless of what aspect of life they aspire for, Sagittarius almost always has more than enough energy for it. Grit and resilience are out of the question, but why is Sagittarius part of the most stressed zodiac sign?
Well, Sagittarius’ biggest flaw is their indecisiveness…or perhaps, unsettling attitude. True, they can keep themselves motivated with something, but have they found their target yet? Sagittarius often jumps from one passion project to another, making them finish no projects at all. Is it their perfectionism? Well, perhaps one can say that it is a perfectionist’s curse.
And this curse keeps Sagittarius stressed. Seeing peers and family members move forward with their own lives, Sagittarians often place that pressure to themselves. And before you know it, they don’t just become stressed, but they also become the most anxious zodiac sign. Yes, I called it, that anxiety crown doesn’t belong to water signs. Well, so long as Sagittarians keep themselves swirling away.
As such, you’ll find Sagittarians jumping from one hobby to another. You may see them productive as they pursue passion projects. But as you look closely, you’ll realize that they’re just jumping from one project to another. And to alleviate that inner pressure, this most stressed zodiac sign keeps on putting up that productivity facade.
That being said, Sagittarius needs to slow down. Finding one’s path is never an easy task, since one can face many challenges that bring self-doubt. That doubt can make it easy for them to quit, unable to go past the direction that they want. Instead, Sagittarius needs to focus on consistently doing one thing, and going from there.
Their strongest suit is the inability to give up, so just keep pushing Sagittarius!
Where’s Gemini?
What zodiac sign worries the most? Well, the heading says it all. Obviously, Gemini is one of the most stressful signs to deal with. You schedule with them, and for sure, they’ll raincheck 30 mins after. Later on, you’ll find out on their socials that they were out with their least favorite friends. Yes, Gemini can be this unpredictable, making them the subject of memes on the internet.
However, did you know that they are also stressed with themselves? While we assume that “it is a Gemini thing”, apparently, they also feel the effects of that inner conflict. Even they themselves aren’t too sure what they’re doing, which brings them stress and anxiety. Their fickle-minded nature is simply off the charts, enough to place them on this list of the most stressed zodiac signs.
One can argue that it is what makes their character bold, fun, and dynamic. Even so, too much dynamism means lack of stability and control. Geminis are often prone to make decisions that they didn’t truly intend. For instance, they may commit to an event and suddenly do a no-show. Constantly ditching others creates a negative perception for Gemini, whereas they didn’t really intend such.
In order to resolve this, or should I say, at least contain it, Gemini must go against their tendencies. By bringing in more clarity, Gemini can reduce their overthinking tendencies. Truth be told, one of the main reasons why Gemini acts as such is because of their insecurities. Afraid that they will become lifeless and boring, they subconsciously engage in these irrational and conspicuous acts. Thinking it will address their inner anxieties, Gemini misses out on the fact that their ways amplify it!
Virgo? Or should I say, “Beer? Go!”
Sometimes, some signs just happen to be the most stressed by default. That sign is no other than the zodiac sign Virgo. But there’s a catch: since they’re the easiest to get stressed and overwhelmed, they tend to find ways to de-stress at ease. Their primary concern most of the time is to deal with and get away from all the pressure and stress of the everyday hustle-and-bustle.
As a most stressed zodiac sign, Virgos tend to be anxious and easily overwhelmed. But they try their best to stay composed on the outside. A typical Virgo is the living embodiment of the saying that goes, “Be like a duck. Stay calm on the surface but paddle like hell underneath.” Because of this, they are always quick when it comes to finding ways to chill out and cool down. Whenever a Virgo hears an invitation for some takeout food, that Virgo will surely join the group. Happy hour? You bet a Virgo will tag along. So if Virgos are quick to resolve their stress problems, what seems to be the problem?
Since they’re easily swayed by the thought of escaping the rush, Virgos tend to be distracted and lose focus on their current and immediate goals. There’s a difference between major and minor stresses – minor or small stresses are not problematic all the time. But that is something a Virgo has trouble figuring out. As a Virgo, try to tone down the reaction of de-stressing or escaping so that you can react better. Don’t let a bit of discomfort scare you away! If it’s just a small problem, stay your course. What matters is that you should not lose your sense of focus over manageable matters.
Still chasing the tail, Pisces?
Pisces folks are dedicated people. Hard-working and attentive, these folks know how to do their jobs. The reason why they are included in this list is precisely because of the burden of their skills – they pay too much attention that they wind up stressing over the most minute of details. Just to be clear, Pisces are not perfectionists. Their attention to the specifics and other minute details are just simply a matter of curiosity or excitement. But what may begin as a matter of sheer excitement soon spirals down into a rabbit-hole of frustration. A Pisces just can’t simply move on. But a question that they need to deal with is this: if it’s not broken, why fix it?
Oftentimes, Pisces people are caught up in the multitude of minute details that they sometimes lose the sense of the whole or “the bigger picture.” But make no mistake – Pisces folks do get the job done! But this usually costs them time, especially when they get emotionally invested in a particular matter. Perhaps stepping back once in a while would help. Don’t drown yourself with control. Otherwise, you might end up becoming a control freak (which is not good, by the way).
It might help to remember that you are a water sign: learn to see if the waters are shallow or deep; learn to swim through the plethora of information. Focus is great. Hyperfocus may or may not be better. It’s okay to be loose sometimes. Just as long as you’re still within the bounds of where you’re supposed to be, learn to take a look at your overall progress and perhaps try to reassess the work you’ve done before getting lost in the maze of details.
What’s up Capricious Capricorn?
Is Capricorn part of which sign stresses the most? Capricorns tend to get stressed emotionally. Among the signs mentioned so far, Capricorns tend to shift from one mood to another. When they see or sense a problem, they often associate it immediately with an emotional signal or a sense of attachment. Moreover, since Capricorns are emotionally sensitive, they tend to confuse the actions and the corresponding feelings of other signs. Because of this, either Capricorns tend to be misunderstood or they sometimes misunderstand others. In the end, miscommunication happens. No wonder they get stressed!
On the one hand, as a Capricorn, one should at least be careful that your fickleness doesn’t cause any harm or problems not just for yourself but for others as well. As an earth sign, sometimes you have to remind yourself to stay grounded. Try to be firm and straightforward every once in a while. On the other hand, when dealing with a Capricorn, try to give them space. Get a bit of room for a breather. After that, when the tensions settle down, that’s the time to talk.
Capricorns should learn to focus their emotional direction to their immediate surroundings. Suppose something went terribly wrong. A typical Capricorn will try to “read” his or her surroundings through a particular lens. As a suggestion, try to take off that lens every once and a while. There’s nothing wrong with communicating by way of asking. Don’t bottle everything up and expect a constant change of mood to fix the problem. Find a way to release those emotional tensions in a concentrated avenue. Grab a bite with a friend and talk things through. Have a drink and mull over the events that happened. Meditation might prove useful.
Closing Thoughts
Stress is an inevitable part of daily living. It’s one of those things that just simply appears and stays no matter how hard we try to avoid it. Take note of the essential patterns of thoughts, attitudes, and emotions that your sign projects. Observe patterns in your environment that usually trigger stress. Look inward and discern how you can manage to overcome your stress or when you sense stress arriving. Altogether, you can achieve a holistic vantage point in dealing with stressful situations. When you think about it, stress is normal in places where it can be found. But it’s also important to note that too much stress is unhealthy. So don’t let the stresses of life get you down!
