The Most Childish Things Each Zodiac Sign Does
They need to act their age.
getty We're all just a bunch of babies, aren't we? Well, at least men are. Oh, that was so immature of me. And guess what? If we couldn't get to be childish and ridiculous every now and then, how completely hard would life on earth be? It would be HARD.
We need to blow off steam, and for many of us, the only way to break free from the pressures of adulthood is to release our inner child and let him or her become a true brat. That's why the most childish thing each zodiac sign does can be attributed to individual personality traits, as well as astrology.
We all do childish things, and we all have silly and possibly immature habits. And seriously, depending on when we were born, our tendencies to act in a childish way varies from sign to sign. The reality is, we're all in this one, and while there may be a sign or two that could be considered more childish than the other, in the long run, we're all just a bunch of toddlers, running around waiting for someone to feed us.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Like any child that's ever been born, Aries, while being adult, tends to throw temper tantrums. They scream, flail and throw things, and they will toss sandals at you if you're in the way, though that might be more Cuban than Aries.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus can be found acting out. Yep, just like a little brat. If they don't get their way, they become cat-like, casually knocking things off shelves and table tops just "because they can." Brats!
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
When Gemini goes childish, it looks like hoity-toity snobbery. They push aside their places, make squishy faces that denote their dissatisfaction, and generally make everyone feel uncomfortable for having to deal with that big adult baby.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
The most childish thing that Cancer does is deflect responsibility. If they did something wrong, they'll give you every story but the truth to protect their wrong move. Pride gets in the way for this big baby.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
It's very easy for Leo to leap up to the number one slot for this particular topic, because truly, Leos — all of 'em! — are big ol' babies who like to throw fits and get their way... or cry. Nothing like watching a grown Leo cry, lemme tell ya. It ain't pretty.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo would rather not think of themselves as even capable of being childish, as they want us all to believe they are superior creatures of discerning intelligence. However, if you don't believe this, they fall apart and crumble, unable to take your opinion. Prepare for huffiness!
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libra is a liar. Charming, easy going and filled to the brim with deception. They lie and deny, just like little children caught red-handed. They will do anything they can to make you like them as they have a horrifying fear of rejection. Childish liars, Libra.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Because of their terrible pride, Scorpio can be a real big baby at times. If they are caught in a lie, they will deny it; if they are called out for doing something wrong, they will huff and puff and pretend like they are irate that you'd even think they'd be responsible. Children!
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius, when left to their own devices, will eventually break down and become a dribbling, sobbing, self-pitying tot. They can't help it — they're too emotional. What is their most childish trait? The constant feeling sorry for themselves. It's quite annoying.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Being that order is key with Cap, you can just imagine what chaos does to this group of anal retentives. If they have planned a controlled event, and that event doesn't go down according to plan, Capricorn will completely lose character and begin screeching bloody murder. Hysteria is the Capricorn brat in action.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
You won't know the childishness until it's over, because Aquarians have a tendency to "act mature" in every situation. Of course, that has nothing to do with maturity, and when Aquarius lets their hair down, it's about throwing fits, getting their way and weeping bitterly if they don't.
PISCES (February 19 - March 10)
"Childish" and "Pisces" sort of go hand in hand. They need constant attention and cannot be criticized. That's the perfect storm for childish behavior and bratty promise. Pisces — the CRYING sign — gets its meaning because, well... they can't stop bawling their eyes out. Much like newborns.
