The Excuse That Is Ruining Your Life Without You Even Realizing (Based On Your Zodiac Sign)

Aries: March 21st – April 19th

I don’t have the time. 

If something is important to you, then you should make time for it. You might be swamped with work, but you can still rearrange your schedule so you have time for your friends, for a relationship, or even for a quick vacation.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

The timing isn’t right. 

You cannot keep waiting for the perfect moment — or you will be waiting all your life. If you want to ask someone out or break up with someone or apply for a promotion, do it today. Stop procrastinating.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

I’m too tired. 

Stop skipping your workouts. Stop canceling plans with friends. Stop staying home when you could be out, living your life. You can always rest in the morning.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

He is going to change.

If you are being treated poorly, walk away. Your person is not going to change into the version of themselves you have been imagining inside your head. They are never going to reach your standards.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

I don’t want to. 

We all have to do things we aren’t happy about doing. Life is not always easy. It is not always fair. It is not always fun. Unfortunately, you have to force yourself out of your comfort zone once in a while.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

It’s too risky. 

If the reward is worth the risk, then you should take it. You cannot keep playing it safe. You cannot remain stuck in place when you are supposed to be moving forward at least a little each and every day.

Libra: September 23rd – October 22nd

I’m afraid. 

You are not the only one who gets nervous about major life events (or even tiny ones, like conversations with strangers at the store). Everyone is afraid of something — but only the bravest people push past those fears.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

My life is fine. 

You should never settle for average. You should never settle for okay. You should strive for excellence. For happiness. For satisfaction.

Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21st

It’s too difficult. 

Nothing worth having is easy to access. You have to struggle to reach your destination. You have to work your ass off. You are not going to be handed anything.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

I’m not good enough.

Stop letting your insecurities block your path toward success. Send in that resume. Audition for that part. Apply for your dream position. Text your dream date. Stop holding yourself back.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

I’ll never make it.  

Don’t underestimate yourself. Don’t jump to the worst case scenario. Don’t assume you are going to fail before you even try. Give yourself a fighting chance.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

I’ll start tomorrow. 

You cannot keep waiting. You cannot keep putting things off until tomorrow when you could do them today. Be productive. Decide that today is the day you are going to start living the life you have always wanted.
