Girl in her 20s

The Reason You Are Going To Regret Your 20s (Based On Your Zodiac Sign)

Aries: March 21st – April 19th

You are proud of your career. You work long hours. You get shit done. But you are going to regret spending so much time at work and not enough time on vacation. You are going to regret putting off certain bucket list items. Don’t wait to live your dreams. Live them now. Live them while you can.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

You are going to regret wasting so much time on the wrong people. Staying in toxic relationships out of love. Keeping toxic friendships alive because you have so much history. In the future, you are going to regret the fact that your standards were ever this low. That you allowed yourself to be treated far worse than you deserve.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

You are going to regret doing the practical thing over the thing that you really want to do. You are going to regret making choices that other people pushed you to make instead of choosing what would make you the happiest. You are going to regret going down the path you felt like you were supposed to take instead of the one you were dying to take.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

You are too focused on love. You spend all of your time searching for the person meant for you (or, if you’ve already found them, you are spending all of your time with them). But you have to be careful. You don’t want to create too much distance between you and your friends. You don’t want to lose them and end up regretting it.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

You are going to regret how poorly you treated yourself. You are going to regret the fact that you kept your emotions bundled up inside and never spoke to a therapist — or even a friend — about what has been bothering you. You are going to regret that you suffered in silence for so long without letting anyone else know.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

You are going to regret spending so much of your time overthinking what someone said and what that person thinks about you. You are going to regret how sick you made yourself by replaying awkward moments over and over again in your head. You are going to regret how much you gave a fuck, because when you’re older, you’ll realize that the only opinion that ever mattered was your own.

Libra: September 23rd – October 22nd

You are going to regret all of the plans that you turned down. All of the dates that you pretended you were too busy for. All of the parties you refused to request off of work for. You are going to regret staying inside of your own bubble, refusing to leave your house, instead of going out and making memories that would last a lifetime.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

You are going to regret the way you treated your parents. You are going to regret not spending more time with them while you lived so close. You are going to regret missing family dinners and skipping your cousin’s birthday. You are going to regret how far apart you’ve grown from the ones who raised you.

Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21st

You spend too much time playing and not enough time working. You might have enough money to survive right now, but you are never going to land your dream job unless you start working your ass off for it. And that work should begin as early as possible. It should begin today. If you miss out on your dreams because you procrastinated for too long, you are going to regret it.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

You are going to regret taking life so serious. You are going to regret the fact that you raced into adulthood and wasted your youngest years. It’s good that you are acting as a responsible adult already — but you should let loose every once in a while. You should make room for fun. You should give yourself a break.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

You are going to regret how lazy you can be when it comes to taking care of yourself. Even if you are happy with your body, you should exercise. Even if you are happy with your face, you should practice good skincare. The better you take care of yourself in your 20s, the better you will feel in your 30s.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

You are going to regret the things you didn’t do. The vacation with your friends that you turned down. The tattoo that you kept putting off getting. The date that you should have asked someone on but chickened out. You are going to regret how much fear you had inside of you, how many opportunities you could have had that you walked away from. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
