While everyone isn’t necessarily a worrywart, it is common for people to occasionally fixate on their obsession of choice. Depending on when you were born, your obsessions can run the gamut!
According to astrologists, your zodiac sign can determine not only your facial features, personality quirks, who you’re attracted to, how you perform at work but what you spend time obsessing about during the day.
Below you can find out what you’re obsessed with, according to your zodiac.
Aries
The phrase “if you’re not first, you’re last” must have been invented by an Aries. As the leader of the zodiac, you love to be first. If there’s a possibility that you may be last or even second, then you will obsess about how you can change your fate.
Competition isn’t just something that you enjoy; it makes up a major part of who you are as a person. Since you pride yourself in being a high-performance individual, you are very self-conscious about your weaknesses and relentlessly try to improve them. Being a fire sign fuels your passion to win, which can easily become an obsession.
Taurus
You love the comfort of stability. An earth sign, you do not take many things lightly. Whether it’s in romance or at work, you obsess over finding the right fit for your life that will allow you to exhale.
If there is an area of your life that is chaotic, you will drive yourself crazy as you try to think of a worthwhile solution. While you may seem to have a go-with-the-flow approach, your inner voice is always screaming at you to find stability.
Gemini
Ruled by Mercury, you are the communicator of the zodiac. You love words and meeting people so much that you obsess over finding your “lost twin.”
While you are a happy-go-lucky air sign and have never met someone who you couldn’t have an interesting conversation with, you also find it hard to find someone who can complement both sides of you.
You will go to the ends of the earth to find the right soulmate. Once you find them, you will obsess over not losing them at all costs.
Cancer
Your heart is always full of emotions, and everyone around you knows it. As a water sign who isn’t afraid to wear emotions on their sleeve, you obsess over the safety of your comfort zone.
Even though your emotions can run high and low at given time, you desperately need to be understood. You long for the feeling of safety in your home by having a strong group of family and friends.
You obsess over having the right circle of people who can be sensitive to your needs and will support you no matter what. Since you are very nurturing, you obsess over getting the same affection and care in return.
Leo
As a fire sign, you love to be in charge. However, you have a sensitive side that you need acknowledged and nurtured. You obsess over being the best.
You want to be the best at work, the best lover, the best parent, the best friend, etc. You never want to be misinterpreted because you give 100% of yourself to the most important areas of your life.
While you might be exceeding at your own expectations in one area, you might obsess over reaching the same standard in the other areas.
Virgo
Everyone knows that a Virgo spends a lot of time in their mind. To say that there’s only one thing that you obsess about is not accurate. However, you spend a lot of time trying to “get it right.”
Ruled by Mercury, you also enjoy communication and find it essential to be correct across the board. You use your intelligence, sensitivity and keen sense of observation to make accurate assessments.
If you miss something, you will obsess about how it happened because you prioritize paying attention to everything that matters to you.
Libra
Hanging out with a Libra can excite even the most outgoing person. Versatile, fun and smart, you are the best of both worlds. As an air sign, you can talk to anyone about topic under the sun and will never tire. However, you obsess about balance.
You never know when the right time is to stop one activity and move on to next because you enjoy them all. Indecision can control you in many ways, preventing you from releasing anxiety and finding balance in your daily life.
Your obsession of finding balance may also lead you to period of disconnecting from everyone for you to mentally recharge and regroup.
Scorpio
As a water sign, you are very in touch with your emotions. You love hard, but you also dislike hard as well. Once your trust has been violated, you find it difficult to repeat the vulnerable act of opening your heart and letting someone in again.
You obsess over knowing when to trust as well as having the good judgment to know when it’s time to let go. Trusting yourself and trusting others is a topic that stays at the forefront of your mind.
Sagittarius
You seek adventure and love the thrill trying new things, but this leads you to obsess over your life goals. You spend many hours thinking about your next steps.
You obsess over if you are on the right track and will come up with mental checklists to determine the answer.
As a fire sign, you love to take control and excel. However, your desire to succeed can give you great anxiety in the process, causing you either, procrastinate, slow down or question your initial idea.
Capricorn
One of most cerebral signs of the zodiac, you love feeling a sense of accomplishment. Success means a lot to you, and you spend a good deal of time obsessing over how to achieve it.
Additionally, financial stability is also linked to your definition of success, so this often adds another layer of worry. You obsess about whether you are overspending, saving enough and being financially savvy in all areas of your life.
Aquarius
You don’t have to say much because your face says it all. As an air sign, you are very easy going when it comes to long-term plans. However, when it comes to daily life, you obsess over many details from your health to your love life.
You want everything to be perfect, and you believe you deserve what you give. Every day, you seek to put your best foot forward and you also expect the same in return.
Pisces
As the most giving sign of the zodiac, you find yourself stressed about others. A water sign, you understand other people’s feelings so much that you often neglect your own emotions.
You may find yourself obsessing over someone else getting evicted, losing a parent, finding a job, etc. Your love is endless, and there is nothing that you would not obsess over for a friend or even an acquaintance in need.
While your horoscope isn’t always necessarily cut and dry, your zodiac sign says a lot about what keeps your mind pacing throughout the day. Knowing the truth, however, is half the battle. Awareness counts for a lot.
Once you have identified the specific triggers that cause you to obsess, you can use this to your advantage in order to manage it properly. Everything has its place in life as well as your obsessions. Embrace them and let them guide you on your journey to self-fulfillment.
