How To Avoid Toxic Situations Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Toxic Situations To Avoid For Each Sign

It is no surprise that Astrology explains many aspects of our lives based on our Zodiac signs, such as our preferences and compatibility, destructive occasions. Toxic situations are different for each sign, and in order to understand them, one can start by reading Astrological books for beginners, such as “The Private Lives of the Sun Signs” and “The Astrology of You and Me”. Another way to dive deep into each sign is to take a look at astrology websites like Cafe Astrology or Horoscope, which are run by Astrologers. You can also consider taking a look at the brief info on horoscope signs, and have a deeper understanding of why certain situations are considered toxic for different signs.

Aries (Mar 21- Apr 19)

Taking on the leadership role means taking on stress from other people. Aries need to create better boundaries and to be firm. Avoiding toxic relationships by working with people that are efficient and sensitive to others time and energy. When it comes to dating, an Aries needs a partner that trusts their leadership abilities and who listens to their needs. In return, an Aries will show support for their partner and be willing to go the extra mile for the one they love. They just need a partner that does not take advantage of their work ethic, loyalty and kindness.

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)

Taurus are always willing to play along with others until there are specific things that they do not disagree with. It is truly important for a Taurus to be heard. Especially when they are asking repeatedly for the same things. In short, a Taurus does not ask for much. So when they do, they deserve respect. A Taurus needs to schedule time for self-care and insist on space. Because a Taurus has a tendency to take on more than they can handle, boundaries must be set in work and romance to avoid toxic situations.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The toxic part of being a Gemini is that they are so hard on themselves. Their inner dialogue makes them their worst advocates at times. Being a good partner to a Gemini means hearing them out. And giving them the space they need to improve themselves. You cannot really upset a Gemini by being hard on them, because there is nothing that you can say to them that they have not already said to themselves. Encourage a Gemini to take space, and to figure out what they want. They are goal oriented and want to be the best version of themselves. A Gemini will always be a great listener, and not place judgement. Doctors and Lawyers and Social Workers are a Gemini’s ideal career path.

Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)

All a Cancer wants is a happy family and a happy home. A Cancer can fall into a great depression if they are not given the room they need to brood, breathe, ruminate, dream and sleep. Cancers love a good home cooked meal, so that is the way to their heart. A tidy house and creative space is important to a Cancer. So declutter that closet often and avoid people who are all over the place.

Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)

Leo’s are up for a great time, and they love to win. A Leo is happy for last minute invites out and is usually the plus one to that unusual party or outing. Leos take on a lot though and they will go until they are out of steam completely. So a Leo needs to be on a schedule so they get enough sleep to recharge their batteries. A Leo likes to know what is next on their schedule if possible, so a planner is a must have item for them. Because a Leo needs to avoid emotionally heavy partners who ask too much from them because a Leo will take it all on which can lead to a toxic situation.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

The best part about a Virgo is their ability to spot errors and color within the lines. It is also their downfall at times. The Zodiac sign always striving for perfection in themselves and in others, they can appear harsh at times. A Virgo needs permission to relax and take a break. They are best suited with partners that know when to work and when to play. Accepting their own flaws and flaws in others and letting things be a little messy is healthy for the perfectionist Virgo.

Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22)

The mission of a Libra is to constantly strike a balance. And because of this trait, it is difficult for them to make decisions. Libras are usually better off working solo or under a strong leadership role where they have guidance and know their objectives. A Libra needs to challenge themselves by making decisions regularly to break the pattern of being slow to choose what they want and need. Learning to trust their choices and being with partners who also trust their ability to do what is best for themselves will empower the scale based Libra to go after what they want.

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)

Passionate Scorpio always knows what they want. And they usually go for it. What can stop them is being around negative, narcissistic people who do not have the same drive and optimism that they do. A Scorpio needs to be able to cry and vent so that they can move past whatever is bothering them. Because, despite how upset they get, Scorpios have a strong work ethic, are extremely loyal and smart and genuinely care about the people they love. Scorpios do well in a leadership role but they can do great under strong leadership. A Scorpio can be very empathic and can enable their partners bad habits So it is best for them to steer clear of partners with addictive personalities or those with drug or alcohol problems. A Scorpio needs to take long vacations in order to reset.

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)

This is the sign with the most to offer their partner but the least awareness of that fact. A Sagittarius loves being generous and kind to their partner. So being with a partner that truly appreciates them is all they really need to feel love. A Sagittarius can constantly reinvent themselves, so a career path for them could be a zig zag of short term careers. By allowing themselves to explore opportunities in love and in career and with lots of travel, a Sagittarius will find happiness in the journey.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19)

A patient sign that is fiscally conservative and thrives on positive affirmation, Capricorns are extremely sensitive. They like to socialize! A Capricorn should avoid negative people that are always telling them what is wrong. They avoid toxic situations by focusing on their strengths and staying goal oriented. Capricorns are easy to please. So be the type of partner that encourages them to enjoy the little things in life.

Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)

Wherever the wind blows for the Aquarius, the wanderlust follows. Solo travel, romantic travel, and call me anytime and I will be there kind of friend. The Aquarius has a problem not judging people and situations correctly. So it is best for the Aquarius to always have that friend who they can run things by to keep themselves out of trouble. A conservative partner can do wonders for an Aquarius. Letting them be the spontaneous one in the relationship while also helping them stay grounded. An Aquarius does best as an entrepreneur that can set their own schedule. Because time for them is as the wind blows…

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)

Two fish swimming in opposite directions. Emotional, dreamy and the adult of all the Zodiac signs. A Pisces thrives on intuition. Things have to feel right for a Pisces to go there. A Pisces can thrive in a work environment that is playful and less strict. It is important for a Pisces to be organized, so a Marie Kondo closet makeover is a must. Post it notes and a planner sound great to a Pisces but likely tasks will be accomplished based on desire to tackle. So expect procrastination from your Pisces partner when they just don’t want to do something. Avoid getting too far behind, Pisceans by setting daily goals to tackle just a few specific things each day. A great partner for a Pisces is someone who keeps their voices down, and never demands anything. Asking politely to a Pisces goes a long way. Because Pisces are empaths, they need to avoid toxic situations. So be careful not to date arrogant douchebags. Finding someone who cares about their wellbeing and respects their desire for wellness and self care.

3 Ways Astrology Can Improve Your Finances

Studying the stars can help when you are studying the markets. By knowing the features of your astrological chart, you can gain insight into what features of your chart can help or hurt you financially. Additionally, you will have a better idea of when to take a risk and when to wait.

Manifest With the Moon

The phases of the moon can do a lot to boost your financial focus, which is often key to creating a mindset of wealth and a strong concept of enough.

Because wealth is something that is easy to chase, staying on top of your desires and building focus is critical to have exactly what you want without extraneous stress and pressure. During the waxing crescent period of the visible moon, the sliver of the new moon is growing. You will need a notebook to write down your dreams, goals, and intention of how you will grow your wealth. At this time, putting pen to paper is critical. You are building mental connections between your brain and your hands, which will do the work that builds your wealth.

As the moon goes from one quarter to full, look for opportunities that come to you. You have written down what you want and primed that neural pathway for success. The buildup to the full moon is your time to act on the opportunities that come to you. During the full moon, keep an eye out for how your intentions aligned with the results. Like the moon, wanes, refine your manifestation plans even further and write things down again after the new moon.

Be extremely specific as your ability to define your intentions grows. Earning more money is a cheery goal, but making an extra $15K next year is specific. You may suddenly receive an opportunity to earn an additional thousand dollars a month. Even if you do not hit the intended $15K, that extra thousand can bring your goals a lot closer.

Review Your Second and Eleventh House

The second house on your chart is related to wealth, while the eleventh house is related to possessions. Intention and clarity are key when working in either house.

If you constantly feel like you will never have enough things, your second house may constantly feel a lack. Because the second house is often impacted by our emotional power, you must strive to feel satisfaction about the possessions you have accumulated. If you do not enjoy what you own, aim to direct your purchasing power to items that serve you well. As your contentment in your possessions grows, the satisfaction of the eleventh house will impact your confidence in the second house and you will find wealth accumulation easier.

To determine your second house, seek out a skilled astrologist. You will need to give them your date and time of birth, as well as the zip code of your birth if at all possible so they can determine exactly what was going on in the sky over you when you first drew breath.

Know When to Risk

Your daily horoscope can give you a lot of information about yourself, the world around you, and your reaction to it. If you are feeling confident about your place in the world, you will be able to use that confident shield to protect yourself from financial hazards. If you are less than confident, it is a good day to hunker down and put in the work to maintain.

Safety is an illusion that many of us are seeking. However, staying safe is no way to grow, nor is it a way to challenge yourself. That being said, if you are in a situation that makes you question your trust in your fellow humans, your horoscope can give you an idea of when that will get better and how your actions can improve it.

Finally, do your best to diversify. Your astrological horoscope can tell you a lot, but so can your bank account, your boss, and your side hustle opportunities. Sometimes the best way to accumulate wealth and build financial security is to be a skilled steward or manager of what you already have. Buy with an eye toward long-term satisfaction. If you plan to connect with friends and loved ones, look for ways to cherish them without blowing your budget.

So time to get a spa weekend, spa day, or to visit some yoga retreat. You are imbalanced, and you need to get back on track to continue with your streak of victories.

The great news is that you will manage to get your praise because we know you are working hard. But the one thing will change – you will finally put your feelings to the right place, where they intend to be. It is cool to be there for others, but taking care of yourself needs to be a priority.

Scorpio

Oh, the most misunderstood sign of the Zodiac. There is so much injustice done to you because you are something like Karen of the Zodiac family. And that is not true at all. This year for you will be a bit more dreamy and romantic. It is time to reconnect with that side of you.

You will be daring and inclined in taking risks…. So for you daredevils of the zodiac, it is maybe time to try something like paragliding, bungee jumping, etc. You will need your dose of adrenaline to balance that calm, romantic mood you are currently in. There is a chance of reconciling with your former partner and restarting love once again. Don’t be afraid to show your vulnerable side.

Sagittarius

Free spirits of the Zodiac are now in a very strange place in their lives. You are not happy with your work and your routine. And you’ve always been a tough one who does things alone. Destiny is calling you. You are trying to keep your own integrity and everything in order.

Being a free spirit is never easy, but you are now in doubt since destiny is sending unique partnership opportunities. Try welcoming them with your arms open wide. You are in a state of constant change, so it is in your nature to be in neverending motion. What to do this summer? Travel. Take your spiritual journey. Try some new exotic foods. But knowing you will relax too much, don’t forget to do your cardio. Jumping a rope, signing up for energetic sports like racquetball will keep you fit and energized!

Capricorn

Capricorns are hard workers of the Zodiac. Disciplined ones that are following their routine religiously. Last year was an emotional roller coaster for you.

You are drained both emotionally and tired of hard work a bit. It is time to learn to build your confidence all over again. But before you start with a new phase this summer, turn around for a second and think about past friendships and relationships that you left behind. There is something that keeps you from going on. Apologize for the way you are sometimes treating people.

Make this summer about reconciliation with your friends. Focus on more team activities but balance it with your time alone. We know you need it.

Aquarius

Aquarius felt bored past year, and this year wasn’t much eventful either. You felt static. It is not your natural state. You are missing your friends and going out very much. This summer will help you get your mojo back. You need to stop being so hard on yourself. This year is about pushing you from your comfort zone, which would be really helpful.

Summer is about getting back on track, having more fun with your friends, and meeting new people. Try leaving the past behind and stop spying on your ex’s Instagram profile. Focus on going out and try losing up a bit. Swimming, drinking cocktails, and getting tanned will make you feel more energized and ready to get back to the dating scene.

Pisces

Your world is changing, dear Pisces. You were focused on gaining more financial benefits, but somehow you lost what really matters. This year it will change. Your home and your family are taking the spotlight. You will strengthen the bonds you have with your family, and you will finally find your balance.

So which activities will be best for you? Take a vacation with your family! You can finally enjoy some quality family time. Take off your cellphone and try not to think about the work. Work will be in the spotlight somewhere in the fall but in the meantime – remember that your heart is where your home is!

Here’s Your April Horoscope — As Told By Emoji

Please note: These horoscopes, like emoji, are meant to add fun and color to your month. Take what feels good to you, leave what doesn’t.

Welcome to Aries season! The ram loves to have fun and get moving, but this year she did not come to play. Get ready for a big, fiery burst of energy, and sudden influxes of information (bye-bye, Mercury Retrograde!). Depending on your mood and personal pace, this season could feel like a welcome relief from all the sloggy grief of Pisces season. It could also feel like too much too fast. Remember to take time for getting centered and settled.

If you’re an Aries, happy birth season to you! You in particular will probably revel in the fresh upbeat energy that abounds this month. But don’t get carried away with too much doing. Even you need rest. Look before you leap, and take aim before you shoot any arrows at your desired targets.

It’s possible for almost everyone to get a whole lot done right now. Whether it’s building a business, finding romance, or good old fashioned partying, opportunities abound this month. But the results will only be worthwhile if we make efforts to apply all this boundless ram energy in meaningful, focused ways. Instead of making headway in 15 different areas of your life, right now it’s best to pick a path that needs your love and attention. Focus on it, and forge full speed ahead.

Notable transits:

Mercury in Pisces will be sextile Pluto in Capricorn this month. This is a time when we all may be prone to do deeper thinking, especially investigations of truth. We might examine how powerful people wield their power, and how those choices help or hinder the greater good. We might uncover secrets or discover hidden motives. But it will be important not to jump to conclusions! We should not force or impose our will on others. Throwing your weight around this month (even if it’s in the service of what you believe to be truth and justice) will only yield chaotic results. Instead, it’s best to pay careful attention to power dynamics and engage in thoughtful discussions while setting firm personal boundaries. Mercury in Pisces can make us messy, or it can make us soft and non-threatening. If we lean into the gentle side of this energy, we may persuade powerful people in our lives and in the world to make important changes.

Aries

Ooh, baby, it is your time to shine! The sun is beaming down on you and you are loving it! With your ruler, Mars, forming many favorable aspects this month, you may be amazed at how many opportunities and yeses are coming your way. This month could also offer you valuable medicine for healing old wounds. If find yourself getting bursts of inspiration, don’t forget to slow down and write down your big, bold ideas. As the sun shifts into Taurus season at the end of this month, you’ll want to put all you’ve learned to work. You’ll probably encounter an opportunity or two that challenges you. Don’t imagine these are roadblocks. They’re simply chances to see which of your ideas can get the tangible results you yearn for.

Taurus

This month, you may feel a booming sense of urgency. But the harder you push, the more roadblocks you’ll find. Frustrating as this may be, you’ll do best to go along for the ride, even if it feels more like a carousel than the direct flight you’d prefer. That’s because this month isn’t about your destination, it’s about growth. It’s OK to vent your frustrations regarding all these dead ends, but you’ll feel more at ease if you can open to the possibility that everything coming your way is in fact designed for your growth. Instead of focusing on forced outcomes, see if you can stretch yourself to respond to challenges in ways that nurture you rather than defeat you. Even if all you get is a heart that can hold more of what you feel, that will be something to celebrate.

Gemini

This month offers you as much harmony as it does friction. You may simultaneously feel like you’ve come so far and still have so much to learn. But if anyone’s equipped to believe several things at once, it’s you. Try not to get too in your head, especially if you’re feeling prone to self-criticism. Instead, turn your thoughts to simple actions you can take to continue growing in one or two (let’s be real, no Gemini has ever chosen just one thing and been satisfied) ways that feel most important to you. Whether your concern is your relationships, your career, or all of the above, this month wants you to trust that you are getting stronger all the time.

Cancer

Wake up, sleepy moon baby! This month the alarm clocks and roosters will be crowing in your ear to plant seeds of action. The new moon in Aries on the 5th gives you the perfect chance to shed any doubts you have about your ability to assert yourself. Sure, you may still have your insecurities, but that doesn’t mean you can’t focus on the things that make you feel cool and confident. The full moon in Libra on the 19th invites you to bask in the loving glow of your partnerships. If you’re unpartnered, this month still wants you to step into the warmth of romance. So buy yourself a bouquet, light those candles, and be your own dream come true.

Leo

This month you’re torn between work and play. You may find yourself daydreaming about vacation while working, and fretting about how much work needs to be done whenever you manage to get outside and play. It’s possible to strike a balance, but it will take effort. Instead of focusing on whatever you feel you don’t have enough of right now, your best bet is to keep showing up for the present moment. Can you find a little more light and beauty in spaces that sometimes seem oh-so-gray? Can you give yourself the gift of showing up fully for friendships and fun even when you know your desk awaits you? If you can focus on being exactly where you are this month, eyes wide open, a little more light will find you.

Virgo

Right now your spidey senses may be tingling. You tend to base your decisions in fact and apply yourself in careful, measured ways. But you also possess a powerful intuition and the planets are lighting it up this month. If you’ve got a hunch that a job, a friend, or a destination could provide a powerful connection or opportunity for you, you’re probably right on the money. This month the stars want you to shoot your shot! At the end of the month, take some time to review your dreams. Check off all the ones you’ve already made come true and remind yourself that you may be known as a taskmaster, but you are also several parts dynamite and magic.

Libra

As the month begins, you may face many little challenges that add up to a bigger feeling of being stuck. At the same time, your dreams will be heightened. You will probably feel clearer than ever about what you want and what you want no part of. Mid-month, once you’ve taken stock of your dreams, you’ll benefit from using them to set firm boundaries. This month does not want you to people please, even if you happen to be very, very good at that. When the full moon occurs in your sign on the 19th, you may notice some of your dreams finally coming to fruition. Welcome your blessings and let go of any scenarios that haven’t played out as you would’ve liked. You can’t always get what you want, but the more you make peace with your disappoints, the more you’ll be able to enjoy all the wonderful surprises that the stars have in store for you as the month winds down.

Scorpio

This month your ability to gather the information you need to make transformative decisions is heightened. You may even feel like you’ve got a bit of information overload. Don’t panic, though. Think of your brain as a stomach. Give it time to digest all the new ideas and revelations coming your way. It will sort out what you need and what you don’t in due time. Meanwhile, carve out space for beauty and relaxation. You may not be getting all the attention you want this month, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have plenty of secret admirers. Keep an eye on your inbox. You won’t want to miss it when someone special sends you a hello.

Sagittarius

This month, your ruling planet Jupiter stations retrograde on April 10. You love the feeling of forward momentum, so you’ll likely resist this turn of events. But see if you can apply the same gusto and enthusiasm you have for spontaneous journeys to going back and reflecting on all that you’ve learned. This can be its own big adventure. Go back to your books. Polish up all the gems of truth you’ve discovered. See if there are any you left in the dirt. And if you find you absolutely must give your attention to the future, feel free to review all those great escapes you’ve been planning. Fine tune the details (you dread this, but it’s necessary). When you’re ready to roll again, the ride will be all the more smooth and joyous.

Capricorn

You may find it’s easier for you to communicate your feelings this month. Use this to your advantage. You may want to have important conversations with people who matter to you, or who you might simply find yourself sharing your emotions more freely and more regularly. In either case, this month is a time to be more trusting and more vulnerable than your usual stoic self. There may be small challenges mid-month, but they pale in comparison to all of the love that wants to flow your way. Your biggest challenge will simply be to remain open. Let love in this month, and trust that more of it is on the way.

Aquarius

This month is demanding you to buckle down and stick to a few key routines. You are easily bored by daily rhythms, but know that creating to-do lists actually allows you to build in some flexibility and achieve some of that inner peace you’ve been craving. Trust that your diligence will pay. You may also find yourself challenged by your romantic interests this month. Maybe you feel misunderstood, or your odd-ball displays of affection are flying over your loved one’s head. Be patient with yourself and with others. You may need to go back to the drawing board and translate your style of affection to suit those around you who have, well, simpler preferences than you. But if you put in the effort, you’ll be rewarded ten-fold.

Pisces

Communication is key for you this month. Now that the long haze of last month’s retrograde has lifted, you’ll have opportunities to communicate your thoughts and visions far more clearly. Make sure you listen to your audience, though. You may have some powerful allies right now, but you’ll only know how much they can help you if you take stock of their goals and are careful to see how they best align with your own. You may not be able to save the whole world in one fell swoop, even if you’d really love to, but you can make serious headway right now if you streamline your efforts. Remember, being strategic is not the same thing as being deceitful. You don’t have to share all the details of your biggest dreams with every potential ally who crosses your path. But you can pick up some serious support if you tailor your messages to suit both your needs and those of the folks you’re attempting to recruit for your cause.
