3 Zodiacs Who Always Feel Like They Don’t Fit In

SCORPIO

The Scorpion ruler is Pluto, the planet who governs over destruction, taboos, the occult, and regeneration. Pluto was named after the god of the underworld and oversees everything we keep hidden to the outside world—and from ourselves. This influences Scorpio to naturally have an affinity to keeping secrets from everyone they know, including those closest to them. Water-governed Scorpio believes that no one truly knows them. Those born under this zodiac crave nothing more than true intimacy and a deep emotional connection, yet their biggest fear is being discovered. Scorpio hides a part or many parts of themselves. They may appear cool, calm, and collected, but they struggle with a deep insecurity—that their intensity and penchants might be off-putting to others. Scorpio deals with some pretty heavy themes and walks the shadowy terrains of a rich, dark inner landscape. In their past, Scorpio has been drawn to situations or people who could undo them. A Scorpion soul is an ancient one, one who has faced the darkest parts of life at some point—one who lives a haunted existence which they feel sets them apart from others. It’s Scorpio’s romance with darkness and fear of vulnerability which often makes them feel so disconnected from others. They’re prone to feeling out of a place in a room full of “normal” people. 

AQUARIUS

Those born under this sign are highly individualistic and defy any kind of categorization. Aquarius is the most rebellious and eccentric of the zodiac. They’re well aware that they’re the weirdest sign out there—and they’re certainly not shy about it. Aquarius may not care to fit the status quo, but they often try hard not to put themselves in situations where they may feel rejected. They come off as emotionally distant, but in truth, they often detach themselves because they’re afraid of being misunderstood. The Water Bearer also struggles with a fear of vulnerability. It’s not that they don’t feel deeply, it’s just that they struggle with expressing those emotions and with dealing with the ugly parts of them. It’s easier for them to maintain a cool and detached approach. Beneath all this lies a profound sense of compassion and yearning for social change. Aquarius is the humanitarian sign and is able to see so much further beyond themselves. They’re someone who focuses on the bigger picture. Often they feel appalled, disheartened, and confused by the collective moral apathy. It makes them feel disconnected from the world they so badly want to change for the better. Friendly Aquarius may seem open and forthcoming, but they control what they show to others. Social as they may be, they require a lot of time to unwind from other people and work at their vision—a vision they believe others wouldn’t understand. 

PISCES

Pisces lives with one foot in this world and with one foot in another. This water sign is ruled by Neptune, the planet of inspiration, dreams, desires, the subconscious, illusions, and all the things enchanting and magical. Dreamy and intuitive Pisces holds a unique perspective on life that is not easily understood by others. They know that there’s more to this world, they know that manifestation holds power, and they know that magic exists among us. This often makes them feel out of place. Pisces doesn’t understand the rudimentary beliefs and views others have of the world. They live in their own little world, often getting lost in their fantasies—other realms that disconnect them from the world. Pisces is in awe of seemingly mundane things and doesn’t understand how the beauty is lost on others. They’re inspired by every little thing about the world around them and often have to retreat to follow the flow of their creativity. Pisces deeply trusts their intuition and can’t fully explain why they know something, they just do. And when Pisces knows or feels something, their certainty and emotions are so intense. A lot of the time they’re accused of being “too much” by other people, but others wish they had Pisces’ deep level of emotion and empathy. So what if they don’t fit in? Pisces is an ethereal spirit walking among us mere mortals.
