We're all guilty of checking our horoscope to see what kind of games astrology is playing in our lives. But your zodiac sign reveals more than what's going on in your day. It also plays a role in determining how you react to what's going on around you. And sometimes, our reactions surface in the form of anxiety.

The world is full of anxiety triggers — an overcrowded room, full schedule, empty bank account. But what stresses one person out might not affect the next person at all.

So what is it that gets to you? Find out what causes anxiety for your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21st to April 19th)

“Thinking about my anxiety triggers my anxiety." - An Arien

You don’t think life can function without you properly. Your brain is always pulsating with planning ideas and schedules even when you’re not feeling like yourself.

It often causes you to feel overwhelmed and stressed about the tasks you struggle to accomplish.

Give yourself a break, life will continue to move forward without you. You don’t have to always be the superhero.

Taurus (April 20th to May 21st)

“Work. The feeling that even though I’m a really good performer, I could be fired at any moment." - A Taurean

You fear that you won't deliver in time. So, you stress yourself out about missing deadlines or not making it to a meeting on time.

You fear under-performance. You fear upsetting people and you make yourself sick over people being mad at you.

Things will work out, just trust. You often make the problems much worse than they actually are in your head.

Gemini (May 22nd to June 21st)

"Losing control and uncertainty. A lack of communication and trying to come to my own conclusions also triggers anxiety."- A Geminian

You let the little details get to you and it causes you a lot of stress.

You would benefit by mind calming activities to stop you from screaming at the person who pulled out in front of you on the road or from thinking someone is stupid for misspelling.

Cancer (June 22nd to July 22nd)

“Driving on the freeway." - A Cancerian

Your anxiety meter goes through the roof when you feel unsafe.

Walking alone at night makes your heart feel like it’s in your stomach. You also can’t take criticism or people staring at you, it all makes you extremely anxious.

Don’t repress your emotions and doubts, breathe and tell people what’s on your mind. You need reassurance to feel a little better about the situation.

Leo (July 23rd to August 22nd)

“Not being able to predict the future. I hate surprises and I love spoilers."- A Leo

Anytime you’re not in control of a situation you fill with anxiety.

You need to know that things will work out even if you’re not constantly behind the wheel controlling every decision you’re involved in.

Sometimes you just need to cut yourself a break from worrying and just follow along with someone else’s plan.

Virgo (August 23rd to September 22nd)

“Not living up to the über high expectations I place upon myself!" - A Virgoan

Your trigger is overthinking and extreme planning.

You think way too much and you’re your own worst nightmare when it comes to causing your anxiety. You overthink most decisions and freak yourself out, but once you start doing it you are okay.

You need to trust more that things will be okay, write things down and don’t always assume the worst.

Libra (September 23rd to October 22nd)

“Being verbally attacked or being around extremely negative or judgmental people."- A Libran

You like things fair, anything you feel is unfair completely stresses you out.

You tend to overthink the pros and cons of situations instead of acting in the moment.

You need to breathe and just respond in the moment, instead of sitting on things for hours rushing through all the different scenarios in your mind. Just relax! People and situations are not always fair. Sometimes, you have look past those unfair things.

Scorpio (October 23rd to November 22nd)

“Crowds!"- A Scorpio

Not having enough privacy or quiet makes you anxious. You need your space and you hate it when people don’t respect that, it makes you feel tense and nervous. You just want everyone to respect your boundaries.

Sagittarius (November 23rd to December 21st)

“My performance at work. Being a leader, but feeling as though I’m ‘faking’ it as I go along. Being found out that I don’t know as much as my peers think I do." - A Sagittarius

Conforming to society stresses you out the most.

You hate being told how to behave, dress or act. You don’t like deadlines or sitting in traffic. You can become extremely restless and it causes you a lot of anxiety.

Capricorn (December 22nd to January 20th)

“Money woes! Trying to save for a wedding, a house and pay down debts seems unattainable after paying monthly bills. And forget starting a family — how do people afford it?!" — a Capricorn

You are the root of your anxiety. You put way too much pressure on yourself and set strict deadlines for yourself. You feel frustrated if you don’t meet them.

Stop thinking about the “what ifs"? and live in the now.

Aquarius (January 21st to February 18th)

“Life in general. It’s too busy. Nobody ever takes the time to slow down."

If things aren’t your way you get anxiety over it. You try to clarify things and you get stressed by time, easily.

You try to do too much at once, you need to slow down and relax. Sometimes things won’t go your way, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong or isn’t going to work out.

Pisces (February 19th to March 20th)

“I feel heat rising in my neck when too many people speak to me at once." — a Piscean

Feeling overexposed makes you anxious. You hate public speaking and it makes you stressed, just like big crowds and too many people in your area.

You can make yourself sick over the invasion of personal space, but it will all be okay. Just breathe through it.
