The No-nonsense Answer To 4 Zodiac Signs That Wonder If They’ll Ever ‘Find Themselves’

SAGITTARIUS

You’ve been waiting for that one thing you can’t get into, Sagittarius. Your obsession with other people’s obsessions has left you feeling inadequate. But just because you don’t have a love that takes up all your time and effort doesn’t mean you haven’t found it yet. It seems like people devote their lives to developing a special skill – chefs, professional athletes, medical professionals – but you’ve always invested heavily in a diverse set of skills and interests. You look at the results of all these efforts and you see nothing, instead of everything you have to work on. The love you seek lies in the right combination of all these skills. You can chat with anyone. You can bridge the gap between qualitative and quantitative analysis. You can see patterns and perform complex analysis because you can draw from multiple sources of experience. You’ve already got them, now the only challenge is to learn how to package, sell, and market everything you have to offer the world.

GEMINI

You should have stopped looking a long time ago, Gemini, because the truth is that you have found yourself. You were simply denying this fact because your reality looks very different from that of the people around you, what other people expected from you, and somehow you planned it for yourself. You have not made peace with the fact that the pleasant surprises you have encountered have become important parts of your personality and your future. That once-in-a-lifetime hobby has become your favorite. That ‘stage’ you told everyone you walked through gave you more structure and purpose than conventional schools of thought. The truth is that you don’t want to go back to the way things were before you deviated from the predicted path. As you tell yourself that’s where you’re coming back to, it’s time to ask yourself why you’re not here now. If your journey hasn’t taken you somewhere, it’s because you didn’t want to, and that’s okay.

ARIES

You’ve been looking for that old-fashioned right of passage so you can feel qualified to say you’ve ‘earned it’. A quest idea, a hero’s journey, a bildungsroman with a clear beginning, middle and end. But life is not structured like a novel or a fairy tale or a fairy tale. It comes to us day by day, not chapter by chapter. We can’t skip the boring parts when nothing happens in our weather service. We have to do laundry, pay taxes, and clean the back seats of the car regardless of the lack of character development involved. The simple truth that you should learn is that you should think about your life as a writer and not as a reader. If you’re going to think of yourself as a character, you better know yourself inside and out. What is the author’you know‘ about character versus what makes it onto the published page are two very different things. They know their characters in their quietest, meanest moments, and in their life-changing, world-shattering moments, equally. And you should too.

CAPRICORN

The problem is that you’ve been waiting for someone to find you, Capricorn, instead of taking on that big job yourself. The faith you have that the right partner, the right promotion, the right life will separate you from the crowd and take you away from your happily ever after is admirable and hopeful, but it completely ignores your ability to save yourself, to make yourself happy, to get and give yourself exactly what you deserve. Instead of empowering yourself, you think ‘the world’ will do this for you. There is a time and place for confidence and patience, but you can’t rely on it alone. You need patience, curiosity, initiative, and assertiveness. You need to raise your hand, and speak up when you have an answer to a problem, and stand up for yourself when you know you are right. If you continue to live your life without a single feather being ruffled, you will find yourself so suffocated and inauthentic that you don’t even recognize who you are. Time to get your hands dirty.
