Emotions rule these signs.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Aug 21, 2017
There are some things that just seem to make us feel off-kilter and unbalanced. It can be anything like someone who scratches their nails on a chalkboard, someone who chews too loudly or finding out that you've been consistently lied to.
There is no logic to the things that can knock us off our game and upset our emotional equilibrium. You may even consult your horoscope for things you can do to make yourself feel better.
No matter how balanced you may be on a regular basis there are just some things that get under your skin and these make it difficult for you to focus on anything else. When we’re not feeling rock solid, our insecurities can come up and we become more aware of the more negative attributes of ourselves and our lives.
If you're having trouble controlling your emotions, watch the video below for how doing this can change your life:
If I’m feeling unnerved, I find it difficult to concentrate and I may feel equal parts scared and insecure. The ground beneath me feels as if it’s shifted and I no longer am sure of what I’m doing or what I should be doing.
When someone that we love is feeling uncomfortable or insecure, we want to do what we can to make them feel more at ease but it’s hard to know what to do when we don’t know what it was that set them on edge. We can comfort them to the best of our ability but it’s helpful to know the cause.
Astrology can help when it comes to gaining insights on people. Each person’s zodiac sign has all kinds of information about them and when combined with our own insights, it can help us to help give others what it is that they need, even when they don’t know themselves what it is.
Here are the zodiac signs who are the most emotional and what surprising thing disrupts their emotional equilibrium.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Slowing down and being responsible upsets his emotional equilibrium. No one can have adventures all the time and there's no getting around the fact that sometimes life gets mundane. He thinks if he's not constantly doing thrilling things and competing then he isn't being his true self and that people will think that he's dull. He needs to see that no one can be high energy all the time and that even routine has its merits.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
It upsets him when he actually has to put himself first. He is a very giving person and would do anything for anybody but there are times when even the most unselfish among us have to make ourselves our top priority. He feels bad when he's not doing for others, even when he has a very good reason. He can be selfless to the point that he's damaging his own life. He must learn to understand that sacrificing his own needs is a bad thing to do and ultimately, very unhealthy.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
He likes to think of himself as someone who can handle the good times and the bad equally but the truth is, he folds when bad things happen to good people like himself. If he could channel his usual positive attitude that could help him to handle the difficult, the unfair, and the challenging. You can't party all the time and expect no consequences.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer is one of the zodiac signs who are the most emotional because he feels foolish and out of whack when his caring and concern are rejected by somebody. He hates feeling unwanted and as if his efforts are unasked for. Just because someone may not reciprocate his caring that doesn't mean he needs to beat himself up. Love and looking out for others is always welcomed even if it doesn't feel like it.

LEO (July 23 - August 22)
He's extremely ambitious so when he fails, he takes it hard. It's almost as he has no capacity for dealing with not winning, losing, or even tying. His self-esteem is based on being a winner and he doesn't understand that you can still be successful, even if you don't always win. There's pride to be had in trying, in giving one's all, and from learning from one's defeat.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Messes through him off, whether it's something that hasn't been put back where it belongs, a messy house, or even someone who is overly emotional. He isn't responsible for taking care of all messes and he needs to learn how to let go of trying to control the environment and other people. It isn't that he's OCD necessarily, just a perfectionist. Having order in one's life is great as long as it's importance isn't overly magnified.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
It totally throws him when someone not only doesn't like him but pays no attention to him. He prides himself on getting along with everyone and being likable and engaging. When someone is indifferent or openly hostile, he doesn't know what to do and it can make him obsess over his own flaws and failures. He needs to make peace with the fact that not everybody is going to like him and that life still goes on.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
He gets completely thrown when he doesn't have all the answers. He prides himself on being the smartest person in any room and when he's not, his ego takes a hit. Intelligence isn't the only thing that Scorpio has going for him and he needs to know that as a well-rounded person he has much to offer besides knowing all the answers in a trivia contest.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
He gets unnerved when people try to play mind games with him. He prefers people to be upfront and straightforward so when they aren't honest with him, he can't handle it. He gets easily rattled when someone talks in riddles. He's smart but since it's so difficult for him to read between the lines, it makes him doubt his own abilities and intellect.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
The balance of his equilibrium is upset when someone uses him as the butt of a joke. Capricorn has a great sense of humor but he doesn't like for the joke to be on him and he doesn't like to look foolish or irresponsible. A Capricorn would not do well at a comedy roast about himself. He takes this kind of humor as a personal affront and feels targeted because of it. You could say he needs to loosen up but unless he's the one deciding to be looser, it won't happen.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius will go into a tailspin if they can't think of a creative solution for a problem. He prides himself on being inventive and when he fails at that, he almost doesn't recognize himself. Not every answer to every problem is genius nor should it be. He needs to realize that even being brilliant 35 percent of the time is huge and to celebrate his innovative ideas rather than mourn his unimaginative ones.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Any kind of criticism, no matter how gentle and loving, sets Pisces off. He takes criticism very personally as if it's a stab to the heart and a blemish on his good name. We can't improve and grow unless we can the occasional critique or examination. He needs to learn to be confident in himself and his talents so that he can hear criticism without wanting to curl up into a ball and cry.
