the signs and things that they need to hear
Aries: Your fire and passion lights up rooms. But so far it feels as if you have burned everything you’ve touched. It’s okay. Someday someone will come along and warm their freezing hands with your warmth and you’ll realize that it is life, not destruction, that comes from heat.
Taurus: It must be lonely to have all your friends unload onto you. They see your strong back and think that you can handle any load so they just keep piling it on. Your shaking knees and ragged breath doesn’t mean you’re weak, they mean you’re tired. Remember to take care of yourself.
Gemini: It doesn’t make sense. No matter how charming or witty you are people are still going to leave. It is going to hurt every time. Sometimes all you can do is shrug and let them leave. There will be times when you will need to find your voice and scream for them to stay. There will be times when they listen.
Cancer: They say the smartest among us are often the saddest. Sometimes staying up until three a.m. to study for a test will hurt more than it will help you in the long run. Know your limits. But never forget what you’re capable of.
Leo: Your heart is so big that you can’t help but offer anyone that comes along a place to stay in it. The world does love you back but it just doesn’t know how to show it as readily as you. Be patient. Listen and look for the signs. They are subtle, but when you hear them- oh god when you hear them - everything that was broken will be mended. If only for a moment.
Virgo: There is a difference between those who are smart and those who are intelligent. Stop second-guessing yourself on which one you are. It’s okay to feel stupid once in a while. Being stupid at something is the first step to being smart at something. Don’t make learning and experiencing new things stressful.
Libra: If you buy her one rose she won’t stay. If you buy her one hundred roses she won’t stay. Your friends call you a ‘hopeless romantic’ and you’re beginning to think it’s because you are hopeless at love. Keep buying roses but don’t forget that some girls prefer daisies. Fall in love with a person- not the idea of falling in love.
Scorpio: Someone raised you to believe in yourself. Whether it was your parents or yourself or maybe a teacher. Don’t disappoint them by doubting your abilities in this world.
Sagittarius: Even when it is raining outside you can still remember what sun feels like on your bare legs. Sometimes when it is sunny you may only feel a hurricane in your soul. It is okay to be sad sometimes. It is not okay to let the rain drown you. I know you know how to swim. Even if it’s just treading water. I promise that the blue skies will be worth it in the end.
Capricorn: You understand yourself a lot more than a lot of people. Someone will come along and turn your world upside down and make you question everything that you’ve ever thought was true. It will feel like the end of the world. In actuality, it’s called love. Find comfort in these occasional earthquakes because they are few and far in between in this world.
Aquarius: You are lighthouse for many lost and forgotten ships. You might not be able to save them all. Rejoice for the ones you do. You are enough.
Pisces: When your heart hurts, it really fucking hurts. Don’t swear off love. Never stop being kind. It is going to hurt but pouring medicine into an open wound hurts too. Cleaning and growth is taking place. Make sure you’re around to see it.

why the signs are sad
Aries:Is extremely independent so all they know is to pile way too much pressure on themselves. They end up doubting their own abilities and are often never comforted because they're always perceived as energetic & optimistic.
Taurus: Everyone depends on them because of their trustworthy demeanour. This means they bear the burden of their own and other peoples issues. Because of their stable nature, changes/natural stress can result in crippling anxiety.
Gemini: Is determined to keep up their bubbly façade. They try drown their own issues out with good times & long talks so they're never alone with their own thoughts. Nobody knows about the internal identity crisis that is destroying them from the inside out.
Cancer: Tearing themselves apart trying to decide what they want in life. They dwell on the past and constantly can't decide between their resentments and their fears. Theses contradictions often prove to be too hard to handle and make them prone to breakdowns.
Leo: Always worried about what the world thinks of them. They hide it well but they are very sensitive to the slightest comments & their ego is insatiable, often requiring them to over-think things and question themselves. Sadly, Leos value their dignity fiercely and will suffer in silence to keep their pride intact.
Virgo: Their thirst for knowledge and order have them constantly over-analysing every situation. Their brain is always striving for a purpose so without being assured that they are essential to someone, they can be left feeling useless & dejected. Barely anyone can sense their struggles because they are so detached. They appear cold and unapproachable when they are actually afraid of being hurt/rejected.
Libra: Consistently seeking peace and acceptance. They give themselves endlessly trying to make others happy and in the end are left asking who they really are. Because of this, they lack self-confidence and desperately try complete themselves through the approval of others. They're always tired from trying to prove themselves but just can't will themselves to stop.
Scorpio: Nearly always misunderstood. This aspect combined with their hesitance to trust leaves them with few people they can confide in. They're very picky with who knows what about them because they feel secure with full control over a situation. When something goes wrong within their plan, they are intensely anxious over the result and keep their strong fear of failure hidden from everyone. They're so bottled up that their emotions can hit them like a brick wall at any point, leaving them broken with nobody to talk to.
Sagittarius: Barely ever gets sad. So energetic and enthusiastic that they feel held back by emotional obligations and attachments. They perceive sad spells as wastes of energy and prefer to be seeking knowledge and exploring their world. On the rare occasion they are sad, it's probably because of another persons selfish actions, still, their hurt won't last long and they'll come back learning a lot from the experience.
Capricorn: Constantly tiring themselves out while they try to prove themselves. Underneath their strong, collected exterior is an uninterrupted feeling that they are unworthy. Because they seek structure and approval, they need to be told that they are appreciated to sense the security they seek. Without acknowledgement from people around them they become vulnerable and will only continue to blame themselves.
Aquarius: Seemingly above emotions. They are driven by their intellect and will see things for what they are instead of over-thinking something and unnecessarily making themselves sad. Often, they will take the criticism and disagreements of others personally and with offense but the dejection usually won't last long. Their biggest weakness is their detachment from others. This can lead to a disregard for other peoples feelings and eventually their own. Can be in denial about their sadness for a long time before they seek help.
Pisces: Has a knack for making things worse for themselves. Their sensitivity and loyalty often has them suffering for the sake of the people they love and leaving themselves no choice but to escape their own problems. Inside, their emotions are often extreme and conflicting so when they finally feel the weight of their issues, the aftermath can be severe. Their escapist ways of self-indulgence and procrastination only serve to amplify their sadness and unless they're constantly stimulated by their situation, they can dangerously spiral into a routine of self-pity & negligence.
