Are you afraid to sleep on your pillow at the end of the day because you are worried about your dreams that are haunting you? Some zodiacs are more prone to night terrors than others, based on their astrological characteristics. Are you one of those star signs that struggle with your sleep, or maybe you’re blessed with sweet dreams? Here are five zodiacs that suffer from night terrors, and what they can do to calm their minds before bed.
Gemini
Ruled by Mercury, the planet of intelligence and communication, Geminis have extraordinarily active minds. While this makes them smart and thoughtful, it also causes a lot of anxiety – especially at night, when they don’t have friends, hobbies, or other interests to distract them. The wheels in their heads keep turning even when they sleep, and sometimes their clear thoughts take them to dark places.
The best way for this zodiac to communicate to fight night terrors is to write about their worries or discuss them with a friend. Geminis in particular should also avoid surfing the Internet before going to bed. Instead, they should read a comforting book – maybe a childhood favorite or something they’ve read before, or a light and fluffy novel. Emptying their heads of their dark fears and filling them with light instead will do wonders for their troubled sleep.
Cancer
As the only sign ruled by the moon, Cancers have strong minds and are active at night. They become their strongest, most authentic selves after dark, because of their connection to the sacred power of the moon. Cancers are compassionate and caring, so they often worry a lot about their loved ones – and this fear is reflected in their dreams. Their night terrors are about losing their family, partner, pets, or anyone else they love.
Cancers can use their connection to the moon to guide their subconscious to a more positive, hopeful place. This star sign, more than any other, benefits from tracking the phases of the moon and using them for reflection and meditation. For example, if the moon is waxing, they can meditate before going to sleep on what they want to manifest before the full moon that month. When the moon is waning, they can consider what they want to release before the new moon as they prepare to sleep. Using their powerful connection with the moon is key to giving Cancers a sense of control over their dreams and making their sleep more restful.
Virgo
Like Gemini, Virgo is ruled by Mercury, blessing this zodiac with intelligence and communication skills. Virgos are worriers by nature, often worrying about things outside of their control. They are also prone to negative, persistent thoughts even in sleep. This star sign controls the digestive system, and the brain-gut connection increases their anxiety even more when their diet is unbalanced.
The best way for this zodiac to avoid night terrors is to take care of their health. Avoiding caffeine, sugar, and alcohol is important for Virgos, especially at night. Regular exercise helps keep their health in shape and clears their busy minds. Reciting sweet words before bed can also train their brains to give them good dreams.
Scorpio
Scorpio is guided by Pluto, the planet of death, destruction, the subconscious, and secrets – these are major themes in their lives, and in their dreams. It’s easy to imagine how that would make for a nightmare. Scorpios are definitely in control, but they can’t control their ignorance, which reinforces their anxiety. Their worries, secrets, lost loved ones, and other dark thoughts may haunt them in their sleep.
This zodiac hates being vulnerable and sharing their struggles with others, but that’s exactly what they need to do to ease their fears. Opening up to trusted friends, loved ones, or a therapist will help them navigate the troubled waters of their unconscious. Scorpios should accept that they don’t have to carry the burden of night terrors alone – sharing the burden will make it easier and ultimately give them the sweet dreams they deserve.
Pisces
The ruling planet of Pisces is Neptune, the body of cosmic dreams, so night terrors can be very powerful in this zodiac. Neptune is also the planet of deception, giving Pisceans clear visions. They can build beautiful castles in the sky with their minds, but they are also prone to depression and negative thinking, which enters their inattention. As emotional water signs, Pisces people are very sensitive to their dreams, and night terrors can leave them with uneasy feelings throughout the day.
It is important for this zodiac to have a relaxing evening routine to protect against nightmares. As a fish sign, Pisceans are comforted by water – going for a swim at night or taking a warm bath before bed will do wonders to calm their mind and body. Adding aromatherapy oils to the bath makes for a more relaxing experience.
