Bad Habits by Sign

by Stephanie Dempsey

Nobody's perfect - all signs have their vices.

Fortunately, astrology provides valuable clues for

breaking bad habits. Ending these patterns will help

you realize your full potential. Here are some tips

for conquering those negative behaviors that get in

the way of your ultimate happiness.

• Aries Out in Front

Rams have a habit of pushing to the front of the line,

both literally and figuratively. And while this

quality has helped Aries get ahead, it can also

compromise their relationships. Putting an animal,

child or plant in their care can correct the problem.

As soon as this sign's nurturing qualities are

cultivated, their selfishness will diminish.

• Taurean Trash

Bulls love clutter. Being surrounded by all their

possessions gives them a sense of security. It also

creates headaches, confusion, and chaos. Storage

systems that keep their stuff on display will prevent

this sign from strewing their stuff all over the

house. Stacking baskets, glass jars, and open shelving

can promote organization.

• Nerve-Wracking Twins

Geminis are the nail-biters of the zodiac. Twins are

self-conscious about their hands, and need to keep

them busy at all times. Activities like knitting,

carving, or bead work provide welcome distractions.

Weekly manicures will also keep temptation at bay.

Twins are less likely to gnaw their cuticles when

they've just paid for their upkeep!

• Cancers and the Candyman

If you've ever wondered how Cancers stay so sweet,

take a look at their sugar intake. This sign loves

cookies, candy, and ice cream. An occasional

indulgence is fine, but too much dessert can take a

toll on waist lines and energy levels. What Crabs are

really seeking is oral gratification. Sugar-free gum

or dried fruit provides a healthy distraction from

candy crunching.

• Lavish Leos

The guy who's sitting next to you in the elegant

restaurant, shouting to his personal assistant on his

cell phone? Probably a Leo. It's only natural that a

sign that is blessed with creativity, charm and wit

feels tempted to show off. Actually, this desire to

brag is rooted in insecurity. The sooner Lions learn

to compliment others, the quicker they'll receive the

praise they crave.

• Virgos Fear Filth

These nit-pickers sometimes compromise their own

pleasure for the sake of perfection. Deep down inside,

these folks are really sensualists at heart. They need

to learn that it is better to feel good than to look

good. Allocating a few minutes each day for fun but

messy activities like baking, painting, or sculpting

can cure Virgos of their fear of filth.

• Libras Love to Shop

Librans gave birth to the term "shopaholic". These

folks have every credit card known to man. And while

their taste is undeniably impeccable, it can get them

in trouble at bankruptcy court. What's really at stake

here is a quest for beauty. Enjoying simple but

inexpensive pleasures like nature walks and museums

can quell the urge to splurge.

• Strictly Scorpios

Nobody carries a grudge better than this sign.

Unfortunately, hanging on to resentments has a way of

crowding out love, happiness, and trust. In order for

a Scorpio to let go of anger, they must first practice

self-care. Getting a massage every month or writing in

a journal each day will soften this sign's heart and

enable forgiveness.

• Brutally Honest Sagittarius

Archers have a bad habit of telling the truth. And

while these folks have the best intentions, that

doesn't take the sting out of comments like, "Gee,

those pants make you look fat!" or "Were you drunk

when you wrote this report?" The best way for Archers

to cultivate tact is through prodigious study.

Etiquette books will definitely help!

• Capricorns Can't Quit

This sign is the original workaholic. Many Capricorns

fear that poverty will set in the moment they stop

toiling. Keeping a gratitude journal can break this

terrible habit. The more Capricorn becomes aware of

their non-material blessings, the healthier their

behavior will become. No more cutting vacations short

for the sake of work!

• Antisocial Aquarius

Water-bearers get into the habit of creating

completely self-sufficient lives. Unfortunately, this

makes it difficult for them to achieve intimacy.

Basically, Aquarians are afraid that relationships

will compromise their independence. Fortunately, these

folks love to experiment. By treating intimacy as an

exercise, this sign can relinquish control for the

sake of loving relationships.

• Pickled Pisces

As a water sign, it's only natural that Pisceans find

comfort in liquids. When those liquids have a high

alcohol content, problems can ensue. Naturally, a

twelve-step program can be of enormous benefit here.

Meditation and yoga can help, too, as they allow

Pisces to achieve a healthy sense of nirvana. That's

all these Fish are really seeking.
