4 Zodiacs Who Need A Reminder That Healing Isn’t Always Linear

LEO

Leo tends to feel like there’s not enough time to turn around and look behind them. They have a calendar that’s booked out further in advance than the hottest restaurant in town, and they never switch out of ‘go-go-go’ mode. When they face problems, they either fix them or move on, or so they think. What they’ve really been doing all this time is dragging that baggage along behind them while in total denial about how heavy or burdensome it really is. They need to take the time to pause and reflect on their own experiences to truly discover how they actually feel about it all. Processing is an important part of every emotional journey, and sometimes we have to revisit the things we thought were no longer an issue in order to successfully move forward.

ARIES

Aries likes to think they can’t make the same mistake twice, but the truth is, no matter how good they are at spotting red flags, it takes us all a lot of living to look past our own hurt and realize none of us have control over someone else’s choices. We can try and avoid certain behavior all we want, but at the end of the day, it’s the other party who decides how they are going to treat us, and that’s a reflection of their character, not ours. It may feel like Aries is reliving the same unfortunate experience, but sometimes life presents us with patterns in ways that aren’t about failing over and over again, but about discovering a completely different overarching lesson that ties all of our suffering together in a way that helps us grow.

TAURUS

Taurus’ healing looks a little like The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. While they can’t travel back and forth between their youth and adulthood like a video game hero, there are problems in their life that they may not be able to address until they are older. We all have an inner child inside who is still grappling with the anxieties of our school days, wanting to be liked, accepted, approved of, looking for companionship, striving to make our own dreams come true. The difference is, as adults, we have the maturity, the means, and the perspective to address these challenges in a productive way. We have more compassion and patience for ourselves. Sometimes our next step in our quest seems insignificant, but will impact the rest of our story moving forward.

CAPRICORN

Sometimes, Capricorn, we have so many things left to say, people we still think about, choices we would like to go back and change. No matter how final it may feel, not everything in life is as permanent as a tattoo. If you work up the courage to share your true feelings, you will finally know for sure how much of what you desperately want is possible. Sometimes it’s as simple as asking, as sending that text message, making that apology. The reason it’s so terrifying is because deep down, you know the scariest thing of all is your own happiness, and the risk of getting your full reward leaves you paralyzed. It’s easier to imagine nothing can be done, because if it can, it’s up to you to figure out what’s next.
